Start with Planetary Governor - Chapter 765
Gu Hang looked around the huge conference room. There were so many people coming, which was quite rare.
The Alliance’s ruling area is now very large, and many senior officials of the Alliance shoulder great responsibilities. Even the central senior officials often have to go to specific places because of their different responsibilities.
In Angry Owl Star, it is not common to get so many people together.
The last time there was such a grand occasion… it seems that there was no such event.
Because in the Alliance, only Gu Hang has enough prestige to convene such a complete group of heads of all departments of the Alliance government to hold a meeting together.
The reason why it was not held in the past was that after the Iron Armor War began, Gu Hang personally led the army to go to war.
Before the war, the scale of the Alliance was not so large.
The war lasted for a long time, and Gu Hang had almost no time to come back to hold a meeting like this. There was no way to gather so many people during the war. It was not easy for everyone to run a trip, and it was easy to make mistakes.
After the war, Gu Hang ran to Holy Terra again.
After the alliance expanded to fourteen star regions, there was indeed no opportunity to hold such a general meeting.
Thanks to Gu Hang’s continuous training of [Political Commissars], at least the loyalty of the key positions in the alliance is guaranteed, regardless of the ability of the personnel. This ensures that there will be no ideological problems for both political and administrative officers. When the principles and vision of the alliance can be effectively implemented.
Otherwise, the alliance’s highly centralized system, which relies heavily on the professionalism and purity of the bureaucratic system, cannot maintain such a large scale and would have collapsed long ago due to corruption and institutional rigidity.
Many other imperial forces are actually secretly planting spies in the alliance, gathering information, and studying the alliance system to figure out how they maintain such a large-scale and effective centralized rule. However, the alliance’s system is obvious and does not require much research, but no one can learn it.
Let alone fourteen star regions, thousands of worlds, and a population of one trillion, managed by a unified government and a highly centralized semi-planned system, for ordinary forces, even if a similar system is implemented on just one planet, it cannot solve the sharply rising governance costs after the scale of rule increases.
This is Gu Hang’s golden finger, which cannot be learned.
It is precisely because of the existence of this set of things that the alliance can still operate without any problems when Gu Hang has not held a meeting for many years, and even when people are not in his ruling center during the three-year Holy Terra Journey.
But after all, similar meetings still have to be held.
Although he can see a lot of information from the system panel. But there is also a lot of information that he cannot see, and he can only understand it by relying on the bureaucratic system of the alliance and reporting to him.
And similarly, he also needs a general meeting like this to carry out a clear will.
As the Prime Minister of the Alliance, Ossena took the lead in opening.
In the first part, she first introduced an overview of the current situation of the Alliance.
At present, the Alliance has a total of 14 star regions, 577 administrative divisions at the star zone level, and a total of 7,109 worlds.
There is no very accurate statistics on the total population, only a possible estimate: 11.8 trillion people.
The total output value of all 14 star fields added together in the past year is estimated to be 16.1 trillion.
Among them, the largest share is the core territory of the alliance, the Dragon Eagle Star Field. The output value of the Dragon Eagle Star Field alone is 5.2 trillion, accounting for 32.5%. And the total expenditure for residents’ consumption, development investment, star field military expenditure… all kinds of expenditures are counted, the total is 3.9 trillion. In the Dragon Eagle Star Field, the alliance has a surplus of 1.3 trillion.
In addition, the strongest is the Alfonzo Star Field. Its annual total output value has reached 1.4 trillion. The main reason for raising the total output value of the star field is the forging world-Aramita. It’s a pity that the other two forging worlds were destroyed. Otherwise, even if they have experienced war, as long as they are generally preserved, the output value of the entire Alfonzo Star Field can at least reach 3 trillion.
It’s a little worse than the Dragon Eagle Star Field, but at least it’s a big help.
Unfortunately…
Further on, there are Menghe Star Region and Aozhua Star Region.
These two star regions were relatively less affected by disasters after the last war.
Among them, Menghe is the smallest, with only a few star regions in the north fighting on a large scale, and during the war, it was the rear base of the alliance. The alliance invested a lot of resources to build the Menghe Star Region, which greatly improved the development of the entire star region. The people of Menghe were considered to have turned a disaster into a blessing.
The entire Aozhua Star Region was at war, but the war between the Alliance and the Fury Flame Corps was mainly fought on the interstellar star sea, and it was rare for the decisive battle to land on the planet and be devastating to the planet’s ecology and population, which allowed the vitality of the entire star region to be preserved. Moreover, in the later period of the war, the Aozhua Star Region basically became the rear, and did not suffer much from insect disasters, and recovered quickly.
The above four star regions are the star regions that make money for the alliance finance.
The alliance now pays the imperial tax in a unified manner. When calculating the fiscal surplus, the alliance government does not count the tax, but only counts how much it earns from each planet/star region/star field.
The annual fiscal surplus of the alliance in these four star fields can reach 1.55 trillion.
Among the remaining ten star fields, except for the Fox Moon Star Field, which is also basically able to break even because the war is not mainly fought there, the remaining nine are losing money.
The nine loss-making star regions, added together, lost a total of 1.27 trillion.
I found a correct version on the 16-9 book forum!
Adding the 300 billion tax coins payable in the first year, the alliance’s own military expenses, and the financial expenditures of some special projects of the alliance’s central government… the alliance was almost bankrupt.
Who would have thought that the glamorous alliance, which boasted that it was a paradise on earth every day, almost went bankrupt?
This was the most painful stage for Osena.
The overall fiscal deficit was very large, about 200 billion.
Fortunately, there was a little surplus in the previous years, and some armaments were cut from the military that was not fighting now. On the one hand, it reduced expenditures, and on the other hand, the equipment cut down by the army could be used as tax offset.
This is a lot of money.
In this way, the most difficult year can be passed.
The nine loss-making star regions are basically the entire Spider Web Universe.
Gu Hang did take over the Spider Web Universe, which was indeed a huge financial burden. From this perspective, it was correct.
Otherwise, if it was the Dragon Eagle Star Region alone, the annual fiscal surplus would be 1.3 trillion, and if the Spider Web Universe was not taken, the imperial tax of the Alliance would not be so high, which would be much more comfortable.
However, Gu Hang did not regret it.
Osena also gave the reasons for the losses of the nine star regions.
The most important point, of course, was that the war had destroyed the nine star regions.
