Start with Planetary Governor

Chapter 18, It's a pity to burn to ashes

The governor's strength caused Hodgson to fall into silence.

He knew it was rude to be silent at this time, but he really felt embarrassed.

What should I tell the governor?

But he knew he couldn't keep silent like this.

"I'll try to find out who did this..."

"No." Gu Hang interrupted him, "If it's just throwing out a mercenary group or a certain looter as a scapegoat, then it's unnecessary. I only need one explanation, and it's done." In eight days, I will see what I want by tomorrow, and there must be one item. Otherwise, Fuxing City will send a new batch, and I can still make it in time for departure; or I can pick it up myself."

Hodgson felt his throat dry.

Sending a new batch is nonsense. One hundred tons of grain and ten thousand pieces of textiles cannot be easily raised.Even in Fuxing City, not everyone can have enough to eat.

The most important point of the governor's remarks is in the latter paragraph: he can get it by himself.

Where can I get it?
It seemed to depend on his answer.

If a satisfactory answer can be given, then perhaps the governor can go to the person who robbed the goods, and he only needs to say a name.

If you can't give an answer, then the Governor should come to Fuxing City to get it.

No matter where to pick it up, I'm afraid this process will not be too gentle.

So who is going to bear this kind of indifference?
At this point, Hodgson knew he had no choice.

He gave Gu Hang a name, and then said: "Give me another two or three hours, and I will also send you the detailed address, Your Excellency Governor."

"Okay, I'll give you the last three hours."

After the communication hung up, Hodgson pressed another button, calling for the attendants.He wanted to say something, but the words didn't come out, an unbearable itching made him cough loudly.

Cough very badly, very violently.

On the other side, the attendant's voice was also flustered: "President of the Council? President of the Council? How are you doing?"

Hodgson was speechless.

"I'll go right away! Hold on!"

A few minutes later, two men broke into Hodgson's office.

One is the attendant, and the other is Lambert Hodgson who was called by the attendant, that is the grandson of the old Hodgson.

At this time, Hodgson stopped coughing, and he was half paralyzed on the chair, panting heavily.

Seeing that nothing serious happened to his grandfather, Lambert was finally relieved.

"you……"

"Don't talk about that yet." Hodgson raised his hand to stop his grandson from asking, "Immediately go to the people of Vaughan Company, and we must find out where the group of mercenaries he hired hijacked the goods sent to the governor."

Lambert was taken aback: "He really did it?"

"Ah."

"but……"

"Nothing but, we only have three hours."

"The governor is angry?" Lambert guessed.

"Hmm." Hodgson sighed, "Our governor is much more decisive and ruthless than I imagined..."

……

Gu Hang didn't think he was cold.

He just knew and insisted on a train of thought: with this group of people, you can't fall into the situation of competing minds and engaging in political tactics.

It's not that you can't win a fight by playing some conspiracy and tricks. The most important core factor is, so what if you can win a fight?Inefficient and time-consuming, Gu Hang didn't have the time to play with them.

Go straight and be decisive.

He greeted people, brought the radio on, brought 100 people with him, left 100 people behind, and set off.

Gu Hang intends to catch up with the team led by Yan Fangxu who set off first, go to the scene of the incident to see if there is any gain, and try to track down the enemy's tracks.If there is something to gain, if there is no gain, let's see what news Hodgson will bring him three hours later.

In the worst case, he would bring more than 200 people to Fuxing City to ask for the supplies he needed.

These people under his command alone are definitely not enough. At that time, he may need to ask Brigadier General Yelicia to provide him with some small help.

I believe Yelicia will not refuse, and she should be able to gain a lot of achievements at that time.

Gu Hang also didn't want that scene to happen, but if it really came to that point, it would be inevitable.And he will definitely take the most thunderous and decisive measures.

How can the sword bearer have no deterrence?
If someone feels that the governor's deterrence is not enough, then he doesn't mind using practical actions to make an example to others.

Let's see if Fuxing City is willing to be this chicken.

Two hours later, Gu Hang and his troops also arrived at the scene of the incident and joined Yan Fangxu.

Navy captains have something to gain here.

"We found some clues. When the looters evacuated, they deliberately covered up, but the means were relatively low-level. I have already sent a team to follow up, and there should be further information."

After listening to Yan Fangxu's report, Gu Hang nodded: "Finally we have some good news, so let's wait. Let's see if Fuxing City responded quickly to us, or if it's better for your team to find those looters." quick."

"Fuxing City?" Yan Fangxu was a little confused, "Didn't you mean the looters? Do you suspect that those in the so-called alliance in Fuxing City did it?"

"Is there anything difficult to guess?"

"Uh..." Yan Fangxu scratched his head, "Yes, it's easy to guess."

Although I didn't guess it, I don't admit it.

Gu Hang stared at Yan Fangxu, a little helpless.

A good fighter in war, why is he so stupid in this matter.

Gu Hang didn't say anything more.He looked around, but the traces of looting were not very obvious.

There was almost no fighting, no deaths, no corpses, not even bloodstains; all transport vehicles were taken away, and almost nothing was left at the scene.

From this point of view, being able to backtrack to the looters who committed the crime a few hours ago at the scene where there are not many clues left, especially those looters who also did counter-reconnaissance, means that Yan Fangxu is not a fool.

Thinking of this, Gu Hang was a little more satisfied.

As long as there is no problem with military skills, don't expect to be an all-rounder.

The next time is to wait patiently.

The news from both sides came almost at the same time.

The elite marines who were sent out responded by telegram. They found traces that could be tracked continuously, and speculated on several possible departure routes and destinations of the looters.

On the other side, the chairman of Fuxing City Council also dialed the contact telegram with Gu Hang, gave three specific locations, and sorted them in order of probability.

The information from two different sources corroborates each other, and there are overlapping parts.

In the end, Gu Hang roughly decided on his target: the Flood River Valley Manor.

It was a private domain belonging to a Union MP named Vaughan.The Flood Beach Valley Manor is his property and the place where he made his fortune. It is a rare high-quality land around Fuxing City that can grow food.

After completing the basic accumulation, Vaughan not only produced grain, but also participated in the grain trade, earning a lot of money, and thus became a member of the alliance.

Now Vaughan's main business is in the grain trade, and the grain production of the Floodplain Valley Manor is only a small proportion to him, but he still attaches great importance to it and treats it as a resort and old nest.

"It sounds like a beautiful place, it's a pity to burn it to ashes."
