Chapter 518, is it Adou?

Gu Hang no longer personally cared about what would happen to Wan Mengxing in the future.

Just leave it to Martini. A senior judge, his status in the hierarchy of the Tribunal is actually not low. He is the backbone. Gu Hang believes that he can do a good job.

This is indeed a test.

Since you have ambition, you must naturally have the ability to match your ambition.

cooperate? sure. Gu Hang was still very interested in supporting an Inquisition faction that listened to him. Whether this faction was the Flash Inquisition or a new one created by Martini, it was always a good thing.

For many forces, the Inquisition is a legal white glove that can do many things.

However, support is support, and Gu Hang doesn't want to support an Adou. This time, he can fully mobilize resources to do one thing and see if it is worthy of support.

In the end, Gu Hang was not too satisfied with the performance of the martini.

Things didn't get resolved very well.

As the capital of the Universe, although Wanmengxing does not have any core high-end industries, its population of 30 billion and a decent level of productivity make this world ranked high among the entire Menghe Starry Region.

A considerable part of the main force of the Menghe Star Region - half of the Menghe Fleet and most of the mobile Astral Army are deployed in Wanmeng Star and one or two surrounding star regions.

When Martini took Zhai Guangshan to Wanmengxing, trying to force the place that had lost its leader to surrender and obey the arrangements, something went wrong.

When Martini arrived, Wanmengxing and several surrounding star districts raised a flag of rebellion.

At the same time, something happened in the northern part of the Star Territory: Iron Armor took action.

From the Qunlu Star Territory bordering the Menghe Star Territory, a fleet suddenly headed south.

This time, a response was formed.

Gu Hang wasn't too surprised when he heard the news.

Basically expected.

After Zhai Guangshan was arrested, he revealed a lot of information while feeling downcast.

He went against the wishes of the Alliance, Gu Hang, and even the Space Territory and the Empire Central Committee, not simply because he considered the independence and interests of the Star Territory government itself.

He really had in-depth communication and exchanges with Humphrey Paul from the north.

Although there was no clear line yet, when Gu Hang extended his tentacles deep into Meng River, he felt very uneasy.

Return to the empire?

So many traces have been left in the past, and even multiple public contacts with Iron Fury Stone, will they become evidence of future crimes?

Are the conditions provided by the empire, or rather the alliance, as good as the Iron Fury Stone?

That's far away.

Tie Kai promised a lot of benefits, and the alliance looked arrogant and wanted to be the master of Meng He, so of course he chose Tie Kai.

However, many things are not ready yet. This time he did not bring a large force and came to Granda. In addition to trying to save the shipping group, the more obscure but also more important purpose was to hope to communicate with the shipbuilding industry. The method of communication paralyzed Gu Hang, slowed down the alliance's actions, and bought time.

Of course he knew that this was a very risky thing, but the examples of Humphrey Paul single-handedly persuading Admiral Melandelli to switch sides, and the recent example of Gu Hang going to a meeting to persuade the shipping industry group alone, made him Zhai Guangshan was greatly encouraged.

What others can do with one person and one mouth, even if I am not good at it, I can still achieve 30% of the effect, right?
What he wants is not to persuade the alliance to join his banner, he just hopes to achieve the effect of paralysis and delay, which is much easier.

And the risks are actually relatively controllable.

He is a star domain head who has been officially recognized by the empire and is a senior official. Without clear evidence, the alliance should not attack him directly, right?
That’s too shameless and too much!
He even had an idea of ​​how he was going to perform.

It's a pity that Gu Hang didn't give him any room to perform. He cleared out all his guards without saying a word, and then took him down as well.

In order to save his life, he showed his willingness to cooperate, help the alliance, and control the power of Wanmeng Star and the surrounding star areas.

Martini is quite hopeful about this, even optimistic.

But actually Gu Hang is not that optimistic.

Among the Menghe Star Territory Government, between the empire and the Iron Fury Stone, is there only one Zhai Guangshan who chose the Iron Fury Stone?
Gu Hang didn’t think so.

It is very likely that there are large-scale interest groups and ruling classes that have actually made a decision.

After learning that Zhai Guangshan had been arrested and was even brought here by a senior judge to persuade him to surrender, these interest groups did not care about Zhai Guangshan's life or death at all. They directly killed the Chief of Legal Affairs and the Chief of Taxation, who had been swaying and disagreeing with the iron anger stone, and then pushed the Chief of Political Affairs out to take charge, claiming that the alliance's actions in the Menghe Star Territory were illegal, and that the alliance held Zhai Guangshan hostage by force. Also illegal. They then declared the Alliance traitors and claimed assistance from the Ironclad Chapter.

They also copied the Iron Armor Chapter's explanation and declaration, saying that the Iron Armor were the true loyal subjects of the empire.

This is a clear sign of rebellion.

At the same time, the rebels who entered the north of Meng River from the Heron Star Region were also responding to their actions.

The situation in the Menghe Star Territory became tense in an instant.

Gu Hang had to guard against one thing:
Will the war come sooner than he previously expected?
Did the Alliance's move into the Menghe Star Territory stimulate the Iron Fury Stone much more than he initially expected?

Will the two sides suddenly accelerate the progress of the war due to the uncontrolled escalation of the situation in the Menghe Star Region?
These situations were indeed not what Gu Hang wanted to see.

But he has no regrets at all about his decision to enter Menghe.

Then in the future, do we have to wait until the entire Menghe River has devoted themselves to the Iron Fury Stone before fighting?

Do you want to wait for others to use the Alliance's base camp in the Dragon Eagle Star Region as a battlefield?
How can the political pressure from the empire be alleviated?

Entering the Menghe Star Territory in advance is the only option for the alliance.

And, as of now, the situation is not as bad as it could be.

Because Martini later showed some abilities that finally satisfied Gu Hang.

The senior judge was indeed a little careless and unprepared at the beginning, and made wrong judgments, which resulted in his being disgraced in the Wanmeng Star Region. His car, a black ship from the Flash Tribunal that was equivalent to a fast cruiser, was almost destroyed by Wanmeng. After escaping, he contacted Gu Hang and vowed to ask Gu Hang to give him another chance.

Gu Hang is also fine.

Anyway, the Wanmeng Star Sector must be captured. He has already made the decision to increase troops from the mainland to Menghe. At the same time, the alliance's leading troops currently in the Menghe Star Sector have also completed their assembly and are heading towards Wanmeng Star. Went to the area.

Just give this martini another chance.

But at the same time, Gu Hang also made it clear to the head of the vanguard force, Lieutenant General Purbov of the Alliance, that the Alliance's troops were only cooperating with Martini, not a superior-subordinate relationship. Purbeuf had to weigh Martini's request for action, accept it if it was reliable, and reject it if it was not reliable.

Perbov's mission is to capture the entire Wanmeng Star District. Whether he cooperates with Martini to capture it or captures it on his own, as long as he completes the final mission, he will be fine.

Then, Martini finally showed his ability as a judge.

It is not simply limited to battles and wars.

If the issue in the Wanmeng Sector is ultimately resolved purely by force, Gu Hang would certainly be able to accept it, but he would be very disappointed with Martini.

For pure fighting, Purbeuf's presence is enough. Why do you want a martini?
What Martini did was to persuade and persuade the local forces on several planets to return to the alliance through the military support provided by Purbeuf behind him; through the small team's infiltration method, he assassinated and subverted several military leaders; accurately He judged that the opponent was not monolithic, and analyzed some of the opponent's forces that were not so determined to be traitors. He persuaded them with emotion and reason, and defected during the battle...

There is certainly value in these practices.

According to Purbov's report, if we look at it purely from a military perspective, the strength of the alliance's vanguard troops is somewhat insufficient. It is estimated that it will take more than two months to capture the entire Wanmeng Sector. Moreover, there will be a lot of losses, especially in the navy, half of the Meng River fleet is quite difficult to deal with. Once there is a major failure, it may not be possible for two months, and we have to wait for reinforcements from the mainland to arrive.

With Martini's set of operations, the time was reduced from two months to forty days; at the same time, the battle damage and cost were far less than originally expected. Not only did the matter in the Wanmeng Sector be solved without the need for more reinforcements, but the advance fleet even had time to go north to meet the rebels heading south.

To this extent, the martini has basically passed the test with Gu Hang.

There are mistakes and merits. Overall, he is not the best or the best, but he should not be a straw bag that cannot be helped.

Gu Hang decided that in the future he could support the Flash Tribunal, or the new Tribunal faction created by Martini.

Of course, that's a story later.

Currently in the Meng River Star Territory, the alliance must always pay attention to the rebels moving south.

Speaking of them, they are actually quite interesting.

The initial goal of this rebel force was to head south from Qunlu and directly towards the core of the Menghe Star Region, which was the Wanmeng Star Region.

The original journey was about one and a half months.

In fact, it should be barely enough time to rescue Wan Meng's rebels.

However, they encountered some 'trouble' along the way.

This is why Zhai Guangshan and others have never rebelled in the past, and the current rebellion is more passive than active.

They were not prepared enough.

The northern part of the Meng River is supposed to be the more heavily infiltrated area, but there are still quite a few places here that are devoted to the empire.

When the rebels moved south, some people did surrender, but there were also loyal ministers of the empire who directly launched a confrontation.

Although this group of rebels was eager to save people, they paid no attention to the surface conditions along the way. However, some caravans or sector-level ships harassed them.

They are all small and rotten ships. Not only do they have no quality, they don't even have enough quantity.

However, these annoying harassments still slowed down their journey to a certain extent.

It was precisely because of the delay in the arrival of reinforcements that many of the Menghe rebels who could have persisted became more shaken and more defections occurred.

When Martini and Perbeuf cooperated to wipe out the Wanmeng Star District, the rebels were still at least twenty days away from the Wanmeng Star.

After learning that Wanmengxing could not be saved, they immediately stopped and no longer went to Wanmengxing. Instead, they divided their forces to expand the control area.

Looking at that, Gu Hang judged that the second phase of the rebel army's mission was not to fight the alliance, but to seize territory in the Meng River Star Region.

This is an action to prepare for future wars.

They obviously have similar thoughts to the Alliance: no one wants to let a tragic war be fought at home. Naturally, they will also try to burn the flames of war into Menghe, a star region that nominally belongs to the empire.

This rebel force was about the same size as the alliance's vanguard force. The two sides seemed to have started a competition and began to race around the Meng River Star Territory.

In about two months, the two sides had basically divided up the Menghe Star Territory.

The alliance occupies about 80% of the territory, which is the central and southern parts of the Meng River. Moreover, the two main essences of the Menghe Star Territory, the Granya Star with its precious shipbuilding industry, and the Wanmeng Star as the capital of the Star Territory, are both in the hands of the alliance.

The princess rebels occupy 20% of the territory, concentrated in the northern part of the star domain.

Across the border area, the two sides launched a military confrontation.

There was some slight military friction between the two sides, but it was not intense. Basically, it was when they were discovered by the other side while performing military reconnaissance missions, and then small patrol ships chased each other for a while; Small spacecraft, smuggled over and hidden on the back of the planet, and sent special forces to lurk on the planet controlled by the opposite side.

But in a large-scale war, both sides had a tacit understanding and did not start a fight.

On the contrary, what both sides are doing in unison and working harder is to build a large number of defense facilities along the border area.

That is to turn the planet into a fortress and a fortress.

Railguns were set up one after another, and armed space stations were built from the ground and then launched into space...

It's not a fierce little friction at the moment, it's more like the calm before the storm.

When both sides have accumulated sufficient strength, the scale of the war that breaks out here will probably be unprecedented.

At this time, Gu Hang, along with the people from the Granya Shipbuilding Group, returned to the Tianma Sector.

These people from the shipping industry group could just be left to the corresponding personnel of the alliance to entertain them, while Gu Hang immersed himself in his work.
