Start with Planetary Governor - Chapter 763

Gu Hang certainly has his thoughts about the Eastern Universe.

The Eastern Universe is not big, at least not as big as the 12 star domains in the Spider Web Universe.

It only has 9 star domains.

Moreover, these star domains themselves are not particularly large.

Overall, the Eastern Universe is a medium-sized, or even lower-middle-sized universe.

Secondly, the Eastern Universe is not very rich.

The population is not large, just like the territory, it can only be considered lower-middle-sized.

As long as the population does not increase, the production capacity will generally not increase.

There are exceptions, but not many.

But in any case, this is also an entire universe, with more than 5 trillion people and a total of more than 3,500 worlds.

Although two of the star domains are already in Gu Hang’s hands, if the remaining seven can be obtained, so that the Eastern Universe and the Spider Web Universe are connected, then the alliance’s sphere of influence will be more stable in the entire Eastern Frontier.

Moreover, the alliance has a natural advantage in seeking the Eastern Universe.

The core territory of the alliance is in the Eastern Universe.

Of course, the idea of ​​gaining the Eastern Universe is definitely not accomplished in the form of war.

With the current political ecology of the alliance in the entire empire, military expansion is almost impossible.

However, in addition to military expansion, there are naturally other ways.

Politics, economy, culture, all paths are possible.

This is why Gu Hang did not take the alliance central government from the Dragon Eagle Star Region to the north.

When the economic conditions of the Dragon Eagle Star Region became more and more developed, when it went south to conduct ocean trade with many other star regions in the Eastern Universe, and even with the Wuji Star in the center of the Universe, the economic conditions of both sides were tied together.

This is not something that can be done overnight. But fortunately, the alliance has been pushing this work forward for many years.

From the south of the Spider Web Universe, the ancient totem star region on the west side can go to the craftsman star region; from the Black Bone Ridge, you can go to the carved silk star region; from the Bianma star region, you can enter the Donglin star region… From the southern part of the Dragon Eagle, you can fully connect to the hinterland of the Eastern Universe.

The Alliance has also built a large number of waterways in these three star regions. As the productivity of the Dragon Eagle Star Region becomes more and more developed, the scale of trade with the hinterland of the Eastern Universe in the south is also growing.

This has nurtured a large number of interest groups that make a living from this.

The Alliance’s business with the Eastern Universe in the south is relatively fair. As long as it is not the kind of predatory economic colonial trade, normal trade is generally beneficial to both parties.

These groups that have earned a lot of profits through economic trade with the Alliance have emerged in their respective regimes, or simply the largest factions in the regime are doing this business.

The relationship between them and the Alliance is naturally not bad.

In addition, the political environment of the Eastern Universe is also very friendly to the Alliance. Mr. Zuo Zhaofeng, the chairman of the Eastern Universe, is not a prince who pays special attention to the situation of local territories, but more like a politician who is obsessed with power. For him, becoming the chairman of the universe domain is also a step forward in his political career. He never regards the universe domain as his own. The development of the universe domain is a “political achievement” for him, a tool for promotion and wealth, not his own thing.

The difference between these two mentalities will inevitably make a big difference when deciding on strategies.

Moreover, although Zuo Zhaofeng and Gu Hang have never met in person, their relationship is not bad, and they can even be regarded as political allies. His identity as the chairman of the Eastern Universe Domain was raised by Gallardo, and Gu Hang is undoubtedly a person who has a very close relationship with Gallardo. So naturally, the two can be regarded as “a family”.

During the Iron Armor War, the Eastern Universe Domain provided a lot of help. Among the southern legion, the alliance itself is of course the main force among the main forces. But in fact, in addition to the alliance, the Eastern Universe Domain also sent at least 300 ships and more than 50 million ground troops to participate in the war.

Although most of these ships are just transport ships; among the remaining warships, there is not a single battlecruiser-level giant ship, the highest is just a cruiser.

Those land forces are all Star Realm Army, but the entire universe has been fighting for more than ten years, and only 50 million troops have participated in the war, which is not really a big effort.

However, a lot of supplies have been transported here. Various war supplies, in the seven star regions of the Eastern Universe, have accumulated more than one trillion tax coins.

And these things are all thanks to the support of Zuo Zhaofeng.

Otherwise, in the early days of the Iron Armor War, the battlefield was mainly concentrated in the Fudi of the Spider Universe, and the Eastern Universe was not like the Devouring Star Universe, which suffered direct military threats. Even if it was in trouble, there were still the two star regions of Dragon Eagle and Menghe controlled by the Alliance in the north, and it could not threaten many star regions in the south. Many local princes did not have enough motivation to assist in the war.

Only politicians like Zuo Zhaofeng, for the future of their own faction, had a personal exchange with Gallardo and reluctantly gave a lot of investment.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Of course, Zuo Zhaofeng also benefited from this. The Eastern Universe sent troops and supplies, and the central government of the empire also had to compensate, which was about several trillion in total. After all, they won the battle, and everyone shared it. Everyone contributed manpower and effort, so they still made some money. What’s more, fighting for the country also brought political benefits. The generals who participated in the war were promoted in rank and their status in the star or cosmic government was promoted, which could suppress those local forces that did not contribute or contributed little, and then reap some local benefits.

Everyone benefited, and naturally their favorability towards the alliance would be higher: they led us to victory! It didn’t cost much, so there was nothing to be unhappy about.

Zuo Zhaofeng himself, as the arbitrator of the distribution of these benefits from the empire, further secured his position.

At the same time, he also received some promises.

The victory of the Iron Armor War had something to do with him, but not much. He could not, like Gu Hang, gain supreme glory by winning the war. He could only share a little bit, which was not enough for him to move up from the position of Chairman of the Eastern Universe.

However, Gallardo also said that if he worked hard for a few more years and made some achievements, he would have a place on Holy Terra.

It is not impossible for the Chairman of the Universe to go directly to the High Lord, after all, didn’t Gu Hang get through? However, in general, the gap between the two is still very large. Zuo Zhaofeng only wants a position as a vice prime minister.

He still has a good chance.

Where is this opportunity? Of course, the economic and security situation of the Eastern Universe must be improved.

And these cannot be achieved without contact with the alliance.
