Start with Planetary Governor - Chapter 764
Chairman Zuo Zhaofeng has a good political alliance with the Alliance, and the strong economic strength of the Dragon Eagle Star Region has established many communities of interest, which has become the core element of the Alliance’s influence on the Eastern Universe.
At the same time, it has also created favorable conditions for the Alliance to carry out cultural propaganda in the Eastern Universe.
With the frequent economic and political exchanges, high-end consumer goods produced by various alliances have entered the market of the Eastern Universe.
Especially some luxury goods produced by the Alliance.
The industrial capacity of the Dragon Eagle Star Region is very developed in many aspects, including agriculture. Among the planets taken back from the greenskins, some planets have a relatively good environment and have thousands of miles of fertile land. After the greenskins were cleared, the population of immigrants was sparse, and they could often go for large farms and large-scale agriculture. The huge amount of food output can not only serve as military rations, but can also be transported to industrial planets as food rations, and even a large amount of materials are abundant, which can be used to pay taxes.
But using primary food to pay taxes is quite a loss, and the money is not much. However, after processing primary agricultural products, they can be made into high-quality food with various flavors, which will be much better; further, when agricultural products are abundant, ancient winemaking can be carried out luxuriously.
The red wine and fine wine made in this way are much better in taste than industrial wines made by the food industry.
Civilians and ordinary soldiers may not be able to afford it, but the middle class and even the dignitaries have no problem at all.
The value of this thing is useless for paying imperial taxes. The imperial tax does not set a high price for luxury goods. However, it is a good choice to export it to the dignitaries in the Eastern Universe.
Luxury brand cars and hovercrafts made by the developed vehicle manufacturing industry; luxurious interstellar cruise ships customized by the shipbuilding industry; clothing and accessories made by craftsmen in the textile industry with leather developed from expensive breeding industry and surplus refined gold materials… These things have become popular in the Eastern Universe.
And the reason for their popularity, in addition to good quality and scarcity, there is another big reason, which is cultural influence.
The propaganda department of the alliance spared no effort to promote the values of the alliance in various places within the Eastern Universe. The most important means are various literary and artistic works.
All parts of the empire have a top-to-bottom recognition of Holy Terra, the human mother planet. Things that are popular on Holy Terra can easily have a great influence in other places.
Some commodities, lifestyles, fashion pursuits and the like may be transmitted more slowly. After all, even if you want to pursue them, you have to have something. But popular literary and artistic works are much easier to copy.
A series of films about the Iron Armor War, praising Gu Hang, and praising the lifestyle of the alliance can be popular in Holy Terra, and it is no problem to put them in other places.
In these films, alcohol, cigarettes, clothing, utensils used, decorative styles, luxury brands… everything, everything, when they were produced, was intentionally implanted with the products of the alliance.
It’s not a hard advertisement, but the luxury brand cigarette that Governor Gu was thinking about at the time, do you want to have one too?
Even if Gu Hang doesn’t smoke, it doesn’t prevent Gu Hang from endorsing it.
This is the favorite cigarette brand of the real heroes and high lords of the Empire!
And under the developed agricultural production, its quality is indeed quite high.
With similar means, the Alliance’s products have a natural advantage in opening up sales.
And these consumer goods and literary works, all added up, have formed a cultural influence on all levels of the Eastern Universe.
In addition to the increased economic exchanges and political friendly relations… the three aspects work together, and the added thing is called “Alliance Values”.
This thing has an influence in Holy Terra. The people on Holy Terra are all people of the Imperial Capital. What have they not seen? In this way, they all buy into the Alliance, not to mention the border area of the Eastern Universe.
The effect is very good.
Of course, the effect brought by the transmission of “Alliance Values” cannot be as direct as military means.
This is a silent process.
Moreover, no matter how much the values are transmitted, it is impossible to directly transform the Eastern Universe into the Alliance.
But as long as this peaceful evolution continues, and the alliance can restrain and maintain its strength, the future results will be quite bright.
There is no need to transform the Eastern Universe into an alliance.
Sometimes, direct rule may not be as good as indirect “colonization”.
The advantage of direct rule is that it can fully mobilize the human and material resources of the ruled area and build the area in the direction it wants.
But at the same time, if it is directly ruled, the alliance will have to bear huge political and financial burdens. Just like the alliance bears the spider web universe.
Indirect influence is not easy to mobilize, and it cannot be built, but it does not have such a heavy construction burden. With the economic exchanges between the two sides, although it cannot be regarded as economic plunder, the alliance can make a lot of money from it. The Eastern Universe will become a dumping market for the alliance and a source of raw materials.
If you make enough money, you can have more abundant funds to invest in the alliance’s own construction, which can be used to pay taxes and support the army…
When the Eastern Universe is full of allies of the Alliance, a series of economic agreements have been signed or are being signed. Then in the future, signing a series of military mutual assistance agreements will become a matter of course.
When fighting, the Eastern Universe will easily stand on the side of the Alliance.
A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!
As long as it is not a fight with the Central Empire.
But this may not be the case.
If the relationship between the two sides reaches a certain level, maybe one day the Alliance will fall out with the Central Empire, and the Eastern Universe will stand on its side?
At least when the Alliance army goes south, it will not be particularly resisted.
Just like during the Iron Armor War, when the Iron Armored Corps attacked from the Princess Star Domain, the Empire’s army in the Spider Web Universe was almost shattered at the first touch. That is of course because the gap in strength between the two sides is large, but on the other hand, it is also the result of the Iron Armor’s influence in the entire Spider Web Universe for hundreds of years, which makes many forces in the Spider Web Universe unwilling to fight to the death with the Iron Armor.
Now, the Alliance has a larger size and greater advantages than Iron Armor, so it is not difficult to achieve a similar level.
But no matter what, the core of expanding influence outward still needs to be strong enough.
Iron must be hard before it can be forged.
The sustainable development of the Alliance is the most important. If we cannot maintain strong economic, political and military capabilities, then everything will be in vain.
When Gu Hang returned to the Dragon Eagle Star Region and returned to his old nest, the Angry Owl Star, the first thing he saw was Osena, the Prime Minister of the Alliance, leading many senior officials of the Alliance government, to make a government work report to the Alliance leader who had been away for two and a half years, almost three years.
