Chapter 445, the Alliance Is Sucking Blood Like Crazy

Temir No. 5 has a long-term trend of meat grinder.

That's terrible stuff.

Billions of living beings will continue to die one by one on this planet. With the current intensity of war, perhaps dozens or even dozens of people die every second.

The amount of ammunition spent on it every day, converted into money, is an astronomical figure.

However, for the survival of the species, these sacrifices and wealth have to be spent.

In fact, Gu Hang also had a realization: the scope of this green-skinned war was too large and the intensity was too high.

Even if it is a victory, for example, on the Jindi planet, the emperor descends from the sky and kills all the green-skinned main force of Titus, then the follow-up matters are actually not simple.

It is estimated that hundreds of billions of greenskins swarmed out of the territory of the greenskin empire and swept everywhere. Which planet was invaded without tens or even hundreds of millions of greenskins?

To kill all these greenskins one by one in the entire star field and destroy the ecosystem they left behind would be a long-term process, and it would be normal for it to take decades.

The war will definitely last for a long time.

In fact, this is the normal state of the entire star sea.

War is always going on. When there is no war, such as the few years before the start of the Orc War, the few years of peace that the Alliance had are the scarce goods in this universe.

And since war is bound to become long-term and normal, the alliance must learn to develop during war.

Here, Gu Hang will have two directions of efforts, which are still divided into internal and external.

Internally, all developments in the alliance must of course be tilted toward war. The alliance's manpower must first meet the manpower needs of the army, and secondly, meet the production needs of various military supplies, logistical supplies, and various equipment.

But the manpower and resources expended for the war obviously amount to little development.

This is pure consumption.

If the war has become so intense that the entire society must devote every ounce of manpower and resources to things related to the war, then there is no need to mention anything. How can we develop if our survival is at stake?

If you don't work, you will die.

But obviously war does not reach this level.

If Titus's absolute main force does not come back, then the alliance will still have some remaining strength; if Titus' absolute main force comes back, then the alliance will not be able to win even if it prepares for the war with all its strength.

Then come as normal.

Except for what is needed for the war, social production cannot stop under the third-level mobilization order.

Various heavy industries that produce new means of production and various raw material industries are increasing investment.

Investment in agricultural production is also increasing.

Under the third-level mobilization order, economic development actually maintained a relatively high figure, but most of the development was swallowed up by reinvestment and war, leaving more than 60 billion residents in the Tianma Star District. , the part used to improve living standards has been greatly reduced, but at least there is still a little bit.

This was also Gu Hang's indicator when he formulated the third-level mobilization order: normal or even more stimulating rapid economic development; a small amount of investment in people's livelihood.

And if the second-level mobilization order is reached, the living standards of the people will not improve, but will decline; and the improvement of productivity may also be affected to a certain extent. Infrastructure construction has almost completely stopped, and the construction of new factories will continue, but it will fully shift to the construction of military factories; everything will further serve the production of various types of military weapons and equipment.

Once the first-level mobilization order is issued, not only will a large number of people have to serve in the army, but more importantly, all regular economic activities will come to a standstill, people's living standards will be greatly reduced, and society will not With further development, most civilian factories will be converted to military use, the entire society will serve the war, and all productive forces will be activated to produce more war materials.

Under this definition, Gu Hang really did not want the alliance to issue a first-level mobilization order one day.

That means that the development of the entire society will stagnate, the development process of the alliance will be interrupted, and even the development potential will be overdrawn.

I still emphasize that when life is really at stake, the first-level mobilization order must be sounded.

But as long as we don't reach that point and can't raise the mobilization order, we won't raise it.

Under the third-level mobilization order, society's economic development is still rapid, and people's livelihood has not increased much, but at least it has not declined, and that's fine.

This is based on the basis and premise of responding to the war and seeking development as much as possible. It is also Gu Hang's request for the alliance government.

This is a guaranteed option.

But if you really want to develop during the war, you still have to rely on another aspect: external affairs.

As long as the war is won, something will always be won. Whether it is the space for development, the wealth obtained through plunder, or the new territory and population brought by expansion, these are all places where windfalls can be made.

And now, what is Gu Hang's biggest gain from this war?

Of course it is the entire Qima Di.

The six surrounding star districts that signed the Seven-Horse Agreement have become de facto vassals of the alliance.

The latest imperial tax collection was also the first time that the Alliance 'helped' the empire collect taxes.

After they signed the agreement, the taxation work began.

The planetary governors all had opinions on this.

Isn’t it collected every two years?

It has been less than a year since we last paid imperial taxes. The seven-horse agreement we signed lasted only half a year, and the short one lasted just one or two months.

Are you going to collect imperial tax now?

The alliance also has something to say.

During the war, taxes changed from biennial to annual. Is that reasonable?

I didn’t adjust your tax amount! The amount is what it is, it’s just an extraordinary period, I only collect it once a year.

Under the power of the alliance, these planets could only recognize them by pinching their noses.

The six star regions, with a total population of more than 110 billion, have indeed collected nearly 12 billion tax coins in materials through taxation. In Yelicia's fleet, most of the Gu's Trading Company's fleet, as well as some small Imperial Chamber of Commerce ships recruited in these sectors, are working hard to help the alliance transport these resources.

These resources have their own uses, and some are directly packaged and sent to the front line; most of them are transported back to various worlds in the Pegasus region, used as raw materials, as subsequent processed products, used to produce more war materials, or simply used Distributing resources to the workers in the Tianma Star District instead of the benefits, allowances and salaries that were originally to be distributed saves the alliance money, which can be further used for development.

In addition to the 12 billion imperial tax, there is also an additional war tax of 1 billion tax coins, as well as a large number of planetary defense forces. In addition to the part that is regarded as human tax, many have also been recruited as the 'Entertainment' military'. Some simply use them as a source of troops and add them to the Alliance Army.

This adds up to 13 billion tax dollars, which is almost equal to the alliance's past annual income.

With a population of more than 60 billion in the Pegasus sector, after paying the imperial tax every year, the remaining fiscal revenue for the alliance is only 13.8 billion.

Now, there are three major parts: the 11.3 billion imperial tax that the alliance should have paid does not have to be paid and can be used by itself; the original 13.8 billion fiscal revenue; and the 13 billion revenue brought by the Seven Horse Agreement.

A total of 38.1 billion, this is the wealth that the Alliance can use every year after the war begins.

This is a huge amount of money!

If measured by the price of the ships, that is 22 'Crazy Shark' destroyers; 5 'Musician' cruisers, and Wealth; even if you buy a battleship, you can't afford it in one year, but you can buy it in two years One ship.

Of course, there is no place to buy it now. Moreover, this money is not unspent.

In fact, the league now has a lot to spend money on.

In the fierce war on the front line, the Alliance had to spend 500 million a month on Guangtemir 5. This was even when the local planets borne a considerable part of the war's consumption.

Not to mention, there are a large number of alliance troops in the Fog Horse and Hippogriff sectors, continuing to eliminate the local green skin invasion. Although the intensity is not comparable to that of a main battlefield such as Temir 5, there are many of them!

Moreover, the 'Allied Forces', which are much larger than the Alliance Army, although theoretically the cost of the war is borne by the planets that send troops, these planets may not necessarily be able to afford the money, nor may they do so in a timely manner - this It's really just a matter of ability - the alliance can't really ignore it.

It all costs money.

The Navy is also a huge bottomless pit.

Not to mention, the Alliance continues to build new ships and expand new legions.

More than 17 billion is spent on military spending a year.

If it weren't for the fact that they no longer had to pay imperial taxes, the Alliance would simply not be able to afford such expenses with its own finances.

But now, the alliance can not only bear the expenses, but also has a surplus of 20 billion. And with this money, the expansion of military industry, production reinvestment, and the infrastructure construction of the nine planets of Tianma... were fully launched, and it was even more prosperous than before the war started.

The economic production growth index, which was originally not required by Oceana, was instead completed with this huge additional wealth investment.

Even accomplished far more than expected.

10%? Absolutely superb!

The alliance's financial settlement next year is estimated to be more than 16 billion, which is a clear increase compared to the 13.8 billion before the war!

Of course, Gu Hang did not deny that the development of the alliance was based on the blood-sucking of the surrounding six-horse land.

However, originally they were going to be sucked, even the Pegasus Star District itself was going to be sucked. In the past, I was sucked by the Empire, but now, in this special period, the Empire can no longer suck it, so how many years have the Alliance been allowed to suck it?

It sucks so good.

In addition to 'vassals', the benefits the alliance gained from the war also included direct 'spoils of war'.

There is no profit to be gained from fighting the greenskins. Even if the weapons, equipment, and ships of the greenskins are captured, humans cannot use them or use them well.

There will be no green-skinned prisoners. Even if they are captured by force, don't expect them to work or be workers.

However, in the Temir Galaxy in the Golden Gate Star Region, the alliance still gained something.

That's population.

During this period, the Alliance has transferred more than 300 million people from Temir 4 and 5. Isn't this also 1.5 billion?

What's more, Gu Hang never regards a person's value as 5 yuan.

The value that a population can create in a lifetime is much higher than this number.

These people are still on the Steel Wing Star and are currently contributing to the repair of the military buildings and the construction of the Railgun Fortress on the Steel Wing Star.

Later, when the transportation capacity is improved, or the pressure on the front line is reduced, part of the transportation capacity can be freed up. These people and the population that will be transferred later will only stay on the Steel Wing Star as a small part of the population to supplement the population of the planet. They will all migrate to the Tianma star area and fill in various worlds.

Three hundred million people is just the beginning.

Temir No. 4 and No. 5, including other worlds that may further penetrate the Jinguan star region in the future, are not suitable for too many civilians to survive.

These populations will be transferred to the Tianma Star Region as much as possible.

The population carrying capacity of Koroga has reached the upper limit, and even far exceeded it; but there is still room for the population carrying capacity of Angry Owl Star, Red Arrow Star, and Fachus Star Star.

At least until the population expands to 80 billion, the Tianma Star Region will not be overcrowded.

If that doesn't work, you can also relocate to other star regions in Qima Di.

In addition to finance, the bulk of economic production growth is reflected in the military industry. New shipyards are being completed in the starports of Winged Star and Raging Owl Star; the production lines of Titan, Knight mecha, feedback power armor, LR and HS series rifles, Lion, and Lion King are also stepping up their expansion. production capacity.

In the future, more ships and more and better army equipment will be produced.

Not to mention, this is just an economic and financial account, not counting the gift points.

Rapid economic development will bring about an increase in monthly gift points.

Now, the revenue provided by the alliance has reached 36,000 per month, which is a 12.5% ​​increase compared to before the war.

The growth of monthly gift income is not a linear growth. It does not mean that if one person gives one point, ten people will give ten points. Gu Hang has been working for so long, and he has probably figured out that this should be a model of growth according to certain milestones, a model of reaching a growth target and improving by a few points, and it will not expand indefinitely.

This makes Gu Hang a bit regretful. Otherwise, based on the earlier years when he first landed, a few thousand people could give him dozens of gifts. Now that he actually controls a population of 60 billion, why shouldn't he be given hundreds of millions of gifts a month?

But even if he didn't have this dream, there was another point that Gu Hang didn't expect.

After the Seven Horses Agreement was signed, another six horses and 79 worlds were all counted by the system.

He originally thought that the stingy system would not let him count!

Of course, it is impossible for him to count all the more than 110 billion people in these 79 worlds as his homeland.

It wasn't even native.

However, when Gu Hang violently beat up the Black Arrow Star, the [vassal] panel activated by the system came into play again.

79 worlds are considered vassals to him, and the vassal level of most of them is around LV2.

This level means that there is a high tendency to separate and there is some social unrest.

A few can reach LV3, which is a stable vassal. There are also a few who have reached LV1, which means their separatism is extremely stubborn.

Gu Hang was not surprised by this.

It's too normal. It was not a vassal obtained through normal means. It is not surprising that there is internal instability and that the governors or local forces in the planet want to separate.

He can accept LV2, as long as there is no large area of ​​LV1, then the suppression cost will be relatively high.

As for the gift points provided by these vassals, there are not many. The main reason is that the gift points provided by the vassals will be greatly discounted.

But it adds up to quite a lot, reaching 4,000 points per month.

This is more or less a supplement to Gu Hang's gift point income.

And there is another big end of the gift points, which is victory in the war.

However, since the end of the Battle of Steel Wing Star, the subsequent small fights on the various planets of Hippogriff and Mist Horse have not given much.

As for the current Temir battle, although it is a large-scale battle, there is no result yet, and the system has not settled it yet.

But what is conceivable is that as long as you win, there will be no less.
