Chapter 704, What Do You Want to Do?
"What on earth do you want to do?"
There was deep doubt in Gallardo's words.
To be honest, he didn't believe that Gu Hang would rebel against the empire.
He had thought this way before, but the Iron Armor War had, to a great extent, cleared up many doubts about Gu Hang.
Because, in the early days of the Iron Armor War, Humphrey Paul ignored the past and sent an invitation to the alliance. If the Alliance was willing, it would be a perfect opportunity to join the rebellion with the Iron Armor Chapter.
Just look at the subsequent developments.
Just a piece of iron armor and the swarm of insects behind it had already caused the northern and western fronts to suffer successive defeats. It was the alliance's performance on the southern front that turned the tide.
If there was no alliance, the Alfonzo sect would not be destroyed in the first place. This is another powerful military force; the defeat of the northern and western fronts is still foreseeable, plus the southern front has proven itself to be very powerful. The Alliance defected. The Empire not only had to re-establish the battlefield on the northern and western fronts to deal with the threat of Iron Armor, but also had to build a powerful army to fight against the Alliance.
When the time comes, can we still maintain our offensive?
I'm afraid it won't work.
The cooperation of Iron Armor and the Alliance may not only affect the Spider Web Universe and the three adjacent Universes, but may also turn the entire Eastern Territory into a mess for more than a dozen Universes. Even if the empire can mobilize forces from all parties to deal with it, the form of war is likely to result in a stalemate.
When dealing with Tie Kai, no matter how the tactics failed or how many troops were lost, the overall strategy of the empire was still strategic offensive, and the goal was to eliminate Tie Kai, the rebel regime.
And if it really comes to the point of cooperation between the Iron Armor and the Alliance, let’s not talk about whether they will eventually be able to destroy the empire. At least, for a long time, all the forces formed by the empire should only be in a strategic position. Confrontation, or even the strategic defensive phase, cannot be considered until long-term attrition.
At that time, although Gu Hang used various excuses to delay his participation in the war, causing some murmurings from Holy Terra, in the end he not only did not agree to stand with Tie Kai, but after joining the war, he immediately came up with a lot of Outstanding performance, and quickly became the biggest contributor to the victory of this fifteen-year war in the later period.
Now you say that Gu Hang is a traitor and has a rebellious heart?
That really doesn't make sense.
He didn't rebel at that time, why would he rebel now?
A great achievement that shakes the master?
Although the empire is called the Empire, the Emperor has long been sitting on the Kingdom of God. The people in charge of the center of the empire are the high lords of the Supreme Council. Gu Hang wants to rise to power?
That’s totally fine!
This is even what Gallardo expected.
This is what he said during the call with Gu Hang at this moment.
After first asking the question, 'What do you want to do? Choose! Come on, I can find a way for you and your wife to become a higher-level Astra Militarum Grand Marshal and Admiral."
"The next step is to compete for the position of Supreme Marshal of the Astra Militarum. To be honest, the alliance's current army can also serve as a top Astra Militarum legion. With their support, you can definitely qualify to compete. Don't worry, neither the current Supreme Marshal Xue Yongsheng nor any other candidate for Grand Marshal can compete with you in terms of merit. I will fully support you when the time comes."
"After you obtain the position of Supreme Marshal of the Astra Militarum, you can step into the Supreme Council of the Empire and naturally become one of the rulers of the Empire."
"Even if you think it's a bit difficult to take the path of commander of the Astra Militarum, after all, you haven't really come out of the Astra Militarum system. But taking a step back, you still have the path of the Psychic Order. Psychic The chief master of the order can also run for a seat on the Supreme Council. With the psychic power you have displayed, is there a more powerful psyker in the entire empire than you?"
"Although the Psychic Order has not obtained this seat for many years, as long as you are qualified, we can operate it. What's more, just because it has not been able to get a seat all year round, the top and bottom of the Psychic Order have long been Looking forward, they all urgently need a strong leader who can lead them back to the highest political stage of the empire."
"In short, you have a choice, and you have a chance to become the person on the highest stage of the empire. Even..."
At this point, Gallardo lowered his voice and said: "Even in the future, when we are stronger, I will have a seat and you will have a seat, and then we will find a way to get a few more, unite a few...we may even have a chance. , to overthrow that old guy Qi Bodu from the position of prime minister! When the time comes, it’s not impossible for you to be the Sun Lord and me to be your deputy, to regain the glory of the past!”
Hearing this, Gu Hang almost laughed out loud.
This guy Gallardo is really just a kid.
When he followed the Sun Lord, he had no chance to reveal himself, but once the Sun Lord died, he was the most brilliant and the fastest one; after entering Holy Terra, he kept the thigh of the former Prime Minister of the Ministry of Justice Ou Kyren, but when he got Qi Bo After seeing the thicker thigh, he sold Ou Curen without hesitation. Now, although he shows great respect for Qi Bodu in all aspects, he actually has hidden thoughts of overthrowing him in the future...
However, after this, Gu Hang also confirmed one thing again: Gallardo still trusted him as a close friend, otherwise, according to his character, he would never tell anyone the words "I will deal with Qi Bodu in the future".
Deadly things.
It is precisely because of this that Gu Hang decided to reveal a little bit of his thoughts to Gallardo.
"You asked me what I want?"
"It's actually very simple: the highest position in the alliance has never changed, it is called the governor, which represents my true thoughts."
"I just want to be a governor."
"Like a planetary governor, I will pay the taxes I should pay to the empire in peace and stability; I will promise the empire to solve all threats that are harmful to humans in my alliance. The empire can supervise me and evaluate me, but don't tell me what to do."
"It's that simple."
After listening, Gallardo was even more confused: "But... why? I understand what you said, but... being an oversized planetary governor? Compared with the position of thirteen people in the Supreme Council?"
In his concept, the two are not equivalent at all.
He understood what Gu Hang meant, but was even more confused.
Gu Hang smiled: "It would be better if I could enter the Council of Thirteen. But I only accept one way to enter: as the chairman of the Universe, send a representative to enter."
Gallardo was silent.
