Chapter 503, Financial Allocation

The places that were solved before were not particularly difficult.

Qimadi is the basic base.

The eight eastern star regions can be regarded as the basic base of poverty. We just need to increase investment and build it to be prosperous. Moreover, from a poor and blank situation, it is relatively easy and fast to build it to be self-sufficient with external assistance. The Alliance has experience in this.

The political situation in the center of Yunluo is very complicated. It is true that there will be chaos easily, but at least the economic foundation is good, people will not starve to death, and with military force as a backing, no matter how big the chaos is, it will not be a big deal.

But the next two areas are really difficult.

First of all, there are the four major star regions of Jiangmeiyu, Tieguan, Kuoluo, and Yinguan.

These are areas that have been occupied by the Orc Empire for decades, and there are almost no humans. Although, on these planets, the planets with the most dense orcs were directly hit by the Alliance's extermination order, and the other worlds that survived are still being bombarded by orbit all the time.

A considerable part of the Alliance's army has entered the surface, training soldiers and clearing out the greenskins in a rotational manner.

Sooner or later, the greenskins in these four star regions will be cleared out; and now, the Alliance has actually arranged for immigrants to enter these four star regions.

These immigrants are not going to develop the planets, but as a permanent force, to build fortresses on the planets, and to build some arsenals and food factories by the way, in order to provide local supplies for the Alliance troops fighting in the local area and reduce the logistical pressure.

But no matter what, there are estimated to be 30 to 40 billion greenskins active on the ground in the 42 worlds in these four star regions.

Because of the bombing and the clearing, these greenskins hid in the mountains and dug holes. In short, they must survive by all means.

Even if there is continuous bombing and continuous dispatch of ground troops to clear, according to the estimates given by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Alliance General Staff, it will still take about three to five years to be considered to be roughly completed.

It cannot be said to be thorough. In fact, any world that has suffered a large-scale invasion of greenskins cannot be said to have completely exterminated the greenskins for a long time. Long-term prevention and control is absolutely necessary. Once you relax a little, the greenskins may grow out of some unknown corners and give people a big surprise.

But at least, after cleaning up and basically destroying all the ecology and most of the adults of the greenskins, these planets have the value of being reused.

However, this reconstruction is a very long time, and it starts from scratch, and the population needs to migrate from outside.

The Alliance does not need to think about what benefits these forty worlds can bring. In the foreseeable decades, I am afraid that this number will be relatively pitiful.

The huge cost invested now is actually to eradicate the greenskin threat. Otherwise, if these 60 billion greenskins are left to reproduce and thrive on more than 40 worlds without care, it may be a few decades later that you will get another large green tide like the Irontooth Orc Empire.

These more than 40 worlds are a pure loss, and there is no way to reverse it. We can only hope to clean them up as soon as possible.

In addition, in the western part of the star field, in addition to the four star regions in the center of Yunluo, there are 11 star regions that are in a state of total loss.

These star regions are some real troubles.

There is no ruling foundation, and they have almost no contact with the alliance in the past;

They have suffered from wars to varying degrees, and they were not developed to begin with, and now they are even worse;

Political forces that once cooperated with Nuyan exist widely;

These are to be attacked one by one.

The alliance will appoint one star region leader after another.

However, these star region leaders will not be the traditional "paperhangers" of the empire, and the alliance will give them great authority.

They will control all kinds of resources invested by the alliance in this star region, and with the support of military forces, they need to complete the screening of planets within their jurisdiction.

For those that are worth saving, actively approach the alliance, and have low governance costs, we will establish a direct government of the alliance, develop what should be developed, and guarantee the basic lives of the people according to the alliance's job level standards. The limited economic aid obtained in the star region will be invested in these worlds, and we will strive to develop them as soon as possible and get rid of the loss situation.

For those with low cooperation and stubborn local interest groups, okay, since you like the old way, then keep it the old way. The alliance will not spend a penny on these places, and will not build a government. It will focus on the local planetary governors and interest groups and require them to do two things: First, the imperial tax. No matter how you exploit the people, you must pay the imperial tax you should pay.

Second, it is to ensure that the population size does not decrease. If there is a series of large-scale population reductions such as civil war, famine, plague, etc., the alliance will strongly hold them accountable, and those who should be removed from their posts will be removed from their posts, and those who should be executed will be executed.

Don't like the rules of the alliance?

Then treat them according to the rules of the empire.

If the rules of the empire are followed, the alliance will indeed not have to bear such a heavy economic burden.

The people are poor, the economy is in a mess, the politics is corrupt, the military construction is lame... these have nothing to do with the alliance.

Just pay the taxes for me.

Anyway, the alliance now controls the star region government, and the star region government can keep 30% of the imperial tax. In this case, the alliance has no investment in the planet, and it is not unacceptable to take 30% of the tax.

If it is too bad, so that the residents of the planet can't survive, then the alliance will have an excuse to intervene, and directly clear it out by force according to the rules of the empire, and start all over again, without fighting with local interest groups, confiscating all private property on the planet, establishing an alliance government, and continuing military control.

If it is done well... won't everyone be happy? The tax amount should be raised, and if it is good to a certain extent, the alliance can think of other ways to pick peaches.

But this situation is estimated to be less than one in a hundred planets.

According to this, the fiscal revenue and expenditure of the alliance will be balanced.

With a fiscal surplus of about 150 billion per year, plus 39 billion for self-use out of the total 130 billion imperial taxes.

This is a total income of 189 billion.

Military maintenance and military construction, about 100 billion is invested, accounting for 52.9%, which can be called militarism, but there is no way, this is the trend of this universe. In fact, the proportion of the Alliance may be relatively small.

The navy needs new ships and even a new fleet; the army needs to expand to 2 billion regular troops. Since the Alliance directly governs many planets, the construction of the defense forces of these planets must also be borne by the Alliance, which is another large expenditure...

Everyone is complaining about poverty.

Although 100 billion is a lot, it makes people feel stretched.

About 40 billion, as a maintenance of rule, including personnel expenses, government expenses and public services;

About 49 billion, as a government-led economic production reinvestment, including infrastructure construction and industrial production investment...

The good news is that the Alliance can transfer some of the army to the Star Army. The military expenses of this part can be reimbursed to the Empire.

This is the condition he negotiated when he came back from Holy Terra.

But it can't be too much.

He originally had to pay taxes to the Empire every year, which was about 91 billion. It would definitely not be possible to exceed this number. The Empire would not give additional funds; even if the limit was stuck at this number, it would not be possible. That would be a bit excessive and make people feel greedy.

Gu Hang planned to build 25 army groups in the first year, which would be 30 billion tax coins. Then he would merge the entire Dragon Eagle Corps that existed in the star field into the Angry Bear Corps.

In this way, the new Angry Bear Corps will have about 1 billion troops, which is 50 army groups. The annual maintenance fee can also be deducted by about 10 billion.

Let's not do the navy. Gu Hang doesn't want to put the warships he has worked so hard to save into the Imperial Navy sequence.

The Tianma Fleet and the Yunluo Fleet are now in the naval sequence, so there is no choice but to rely on his wife, the admiral, to unify the forces in the future; however, the current Alliance Fleet has also come from behind. A Retribution-class battleship is already something that the Tianma and Yunluo fleets cannot match, not to mention that the Alliance will soon have battlecruisers that are being completed.

Gu Hang has even started two new battlecruisers at the same time. One is built on the Angry Owl Star, and the other is built on the Yunluo Star.

The one on the Angry Owl Star is done with the technology black box, and the Alliance has experience. But the black box can only support the construction of one dock at a time. After all, those important production parts can only be built one by one by the black box.

The one on the Yunluo Star can only be achieved by relying on the technical blueprint and the shipbuilding engineers on the Yunluo Star.

This is exactly why Gu Hang must get Yunluo Star, including the entire core area centered on Yunluo.

Only Yunluo's level of development can support the expansion of some advanced technology products' production lines after leaving the black box, relying solely on the technical blueprint.

Once the docks of these two battlecruisers are completed, it will not only greatly boost economic development, but also the construction speed of three battlecruisers in five years is quite satisfactory. Many forging worlds do not have this production capacity. Give Gu Hang more time, even if there are no real battleships, he can still build a powerful luxury fleet!

What's more, who says that the alliance can't make battleships?

Gu Hang now has a lot of gift points on hand!

...

After finishing this long, boring, but necessary meeting, and determining the development path of the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region in different blocks and directions, Gu Hang went to "rest".

The star region government on Yunluo Star is built quite elegantly, with an oriental charm in Gu Hang's impression.

The incense turns into smoke, light and floating, not only smells good, but also has some special effects. This is a special plant produced from a neighboring planet, and there are many different types. In meetings and work, you can use the kind that refreshes the mind.

In places like entertainment halls, lounges, and bathhouses, there are incense that soothes the mind.

After the meeting, Gu Hang soaked in a hot spring. The smell of incense mixed with the fragrance of flowers in the hot spring created a very comfortable atmosphere.

Even Gu Hang would feel that this was a kind of enjoyment.

However, although he was taking a bath at the moment, he was not actually completely relaxing.

On the contrary, Gu Hang, with his eyes closed, was actually dealing with something very important deep in his heart:

Spending his grace points.

In the past two years, he has accumulated a considerable amount of grace points.

At present, his monthly grace point income has reached 170,000/month.

It is more than 2.5 times that of before Gu Hang set out for Holy Terra.

With such a large increase, the main reason is of course that the actual control range of the alliance has almost expanded to the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region.

Of course, due to some problems with the ruling strength, it is estimated that there will be a numerical decay, and the monthly grace point increase brought by the expansion scale will not be linear, not doubled by doubling the scale, but like some kind of milestone index climbing up bit by bit.

But in general, through the expansion of scale, the improvement of the alliance's productivity, and the improvement of people's living standards, the speed is slow, but it is indeed improving.

These factors can still affect the income of monthly grace points.

Of course, the income level of 170,000/month has only risen recently, and it was not so high before.

But even so, Gu Hang now has more than 2.2 million grace points on hand.

However, in the past two years, the elimination of greenskins, especially in the four fallen star regions, swept about 30 billion in two years, which contributed about 9 million grace points to Gu Hang.

At this rate, the alliance still has 50 to 60 billion greenskins in those four star regions. If they are completely cleared, it is estimated that Gu Hang can earn 17 to 18 million grace points.

Relying on the monthly income to save a little bit, in total, in the future, Gu Hang can save a grace point income of tens of millions every two years.

This is equivalent to a ten-draw of a million-level technology!

At that moment, Gu Hang drew directly.

This time, the ten consecutive draws had stable returns.

One Apocalypse-level technology, plus three epic-level technologies.

I won’t mention the other six.

The three epic-level technologies drawn were [‘Valkyrie’ Mecha], [‘Garden of Eden’ Ecosystem Technology], and [‘Command-class’ Aircraft Carrier].

The Command-class, like the Moon-class currently controlled by the Alliance, belongs to the same level of cruisers, but in fact, the design styles of the two are completely different.

The Moon-class is a typical bucket, a standard all-round warship, without any outstanding features, but the advantage of being easy to build can offset all defects.

What’s more, buckets are not a bad thing. Although there are no advantages in themselves, there are no special defects. You can fight against any type of opponent.

The Command-class is completely different.

Its firepower is not as good as the Moon-class, and even not as good as some destroyers; its speed is also slow; its armor is thicker, but it is not much better than the Moon-class.

Its biggest advantage is that a large number of weapons and equipment have been transformed into aviation decks.

This is a youthful version of a cruiser-class aircraft carrier.
