Chapter 765, Six Major Battle Groups of the Alliance
In addition to the three major projects of military expenditure, government expenditure and government investment, the current fiscal expenditure of the Alliance also includes a large section called special projects.
It includes the investment in the Queen of Glory warships, as well as some smaller projects that are not that big.
In addition, it also includes the investment in several Space Marine regiments.
They are not in the sequence of the Alliance army, and of course they have no share in the Alliance military expenditure.
However, the Alliance does need to support them.
This is a considerable amount of money.
At present, there are six regiments following the Alliance.
They are the Phoenix Regiment, the Yellow Spring Gull Regiment, the Blood Shark Regiment, the New World Torch Regiment, the Fury Regiment, and the Dragon King's Spear Regiment.
Their respective situations are not quite the same.
Phoenix is a regiment that has ended the Atonement Expedition and returned to normal. In the Empire's Space Marine Management Agency, they should be considered a ship-based regiment.
For such a regiment, there is no mother planet, and they find ways to collect and raise the funds they need.
If these funds are obtained through employment, gifts, war commissions, etc., then there is no problem.
But this alone is often not enough.
When necessary, the Empire will give some green lights, such as turning a blind eye when they ask some planetary governors and star region governments to pay taxes.
Often, some unscrupulous war groups are not very bright in this regard, and extortion and violent coercion are very common.
When the fleet-based war group is looking for money, some not-so-bright methods, whether the Empire can tolerate it, and to what extent it can tolerate it, depends on the background of the war group and the background of the "victim". Maybe for the same thing, some groups will not get into trouble, but the victims will be severely criticized; while some groups will be investigated by the Inquisition and become exhausted.
In short, the fleet-based war group has no fixed source of income. For the Phoenix, it is actually nothing that they are in this state, anyway, the Alliance has been supporting them.
But after the Phoenix made outstanding contributions in the Iron Armor War, Gu Hang took this thing and asked for a mother planet for the Phoenix - Korojia No. 3.
This will not have any impact on Korojia. The Phoenix will not recruit soldiers from Korojia, Korojia's income will not belong to them, and Korojia's defense will not be their responsibility. This so-called "mother planet" is completely nominal.
This is mainly for tax exemption.
The current population size of Korojia No. 3 is still 35 billion after years of migration, and it has increased instead of decreased. This is mainly due to the alliance's policy of encouraging childbirth. In addition, after the alliance became rich, Korojia was in the ruling core, and the planetary climate transformation technology and the Eden Ecosystem technology were used on Korojia. At the same time, many of the alliance's first-line technologies were directly put into production on Korojia, which has a rich industrial population...
All of these have greatly improved the overall environment and productivity of this planet. According to normal judgment, it is not an exaggeration to rate the development level of this planet as level 4.
That means 14 billion in imperial taxes a year.
Now, we have secured this home planet, which is tax-free.
The alliance has saved a lot of money.
Of course, the resources invested by the alliance in the Phoenix are far more than this money.
But even if there is no home planet, investing in the Phoenix is something that should be done, and this money is indispensable.
The situation of the Huangquangulls is exactly the same as that of the Phoenix.
The real Huangquangulls have disappeared somewhere, and there has been no news of this group for hundreds or thousands of years. The current Huangquangulls are essentially a shadow group created by Gu Hang using the surplus 1,000 Phoenix seeds. They are forced to wear the skin of a missing group and operate in their name. They also participated in the Iron Armor War and performed well. It’s just that because they are a little shady, they are relatively low-key and not as outstanding as the Phoenix.
The alliance also applied for a home planet for the Huangquangulls. Will there be no reward for their merits?
The empire agreed.
Originally, they wanted to build a developed planet to save more taxes, but Huangquangull's achievements were not enough, so the Empire refused and only allocated a world in the Menghe star field.
The Alliance's operation was the same as that of the Phoenix. The mother planet was purely nominal and used for tax reduction.
The tax reduction amount brought by Huangquangull to the Alliance was only 800 million per year - that is, an ordinary world with a population of 8 billion and a development level of 1.
The Phoenix War Group's annual investment of 14 billion was not enough for the Alliance's investment in them, not to mention Huangquangull's 800 million, which was purely a drop in the bucket.
But it's better to save a little.

As for the New World Torch, Fury Flame, and Dragon King's Spear, the nature of these three war groups is relatively similar, so they can be mentioned together.
The New World Torch and Fury Flame have essentially perished. They used the "Secondary Infinite Warrior Seeds" brought by the New World Torch after its surrender to create two groups. But since they used the names of these two groups, they can't avoid the sins on their shoulders. They are all atonement expeditions, and a sentence of hundreds of years is still a long way off.
Although under the protection of the Alliance, they don't have to struggle on the brink of life and death like the Atonement Corps, but they can't expect to get tax cuts for the Alliance.
Even if their sentences are over in the future, they will become a fleet-based regiment like the Phoenixes. Unless they have made some meritorious deeds, the Alliance can ask the Empire for their home planet and get tax cuts.
The Dragon King's Spear, although also sentenced to the Expedition of Atonement, has a sentence of 15 years, which will soon be over.
Logically speaking, they don't necessarily have to follow the Alliance. After 15 years, they will be free and can go wherever they want, and the Alliance cannot force them to stay.
However, if possible, they still want to stay in the Spider Web Universe.
Their original home planet is in the Spider Web Universe, which is already under the control of the Alliance. They are reluctant to leave their home planet, after all, all of them are warriors recruited from the Long Beard Star, and they have been defending the Long Beard Star for a thousand years.
After sufficient communication and negotiation with the Dragon King's Spear, and because they really couldn't give up their home planet, the Dragon King's Spear agreed to accept the Alliance's protection and spend the rest of their atonement sentence. After the sentence was over, they would be used by the Alliance as a ship-based regiment.
The Alliance paid for this by giving them the Longbeard Star as their base, and taking full responsibility for all kinds of treatment and consumption of their regiment.
The situation was the same as other regiments, except that they were a ship-based regiment, so they couldn't be tax-exempt.
It was when the matter was settled that Gu Hang saw the Dragon King's Spear in his system interface.
