Chapter 263, Black Arrow Star Battle Settlement

No matter what kind of treatment Nes Luman's soul was silently pulled into the Kingdom of God by Gu Hang, the atmosphere in the battlefield command post outside the Alliance Expeditionary Force city was cheerful.

Everyone thought that Nes Luman was doomed, but they did not expect that this proud and ambitious king could actually put down all dignity and say such words.

No one thought that the head of the Gu family from the Raging Owl Star would actually agree!

Gu Hang accepted Nes Luhmann's apology and his 'gift'.

From now on, the Luman Kingdom will change its surname to 'Gu'.

This is the biggest change.

But some places seem to have not changed.

Nes Luman is still the ruler of this country, but he is no longer called a king, but reduced to a duke.

Gu Hang seemed to really believe the king's words of loyalty and planned to continue to hand over the country to Nes Luman's rule.

The loyal ministers of the kingdom and the envoys of the two marquises were filled with disbelief.

So... magnanimous?

What's the difference from before?

Oh, the only difference is that King Luman...Duke Luman has a Governor Gu on his head.But for people like them below, what's the difference?From now on, will you still listen to Nes Luhmann's orders?

No, it seems that you can't be so naive.

It should just be supporting a puppet, right?

But isn't Mrs. Gu afraid that this puppet will get away with it?

Or do we need to deploy a particularly large number of people?

But is it worth it?

...

Many questions surround these people's minds.

But on the surface, everyone's behavior was surprisingly consistent: they were grateful for Governor Gu Hang's magnanimity, and vowed to work hard and serve the Governor well in the future. Some even hinted that they would supervise Ness Luhmann well.

And Nes Luhmann himself behaved normally.

He was pleased with Governor Gu's magnanimity and swore that he would seriously reflect on it and do things well.

In this way, there will be a seemingly happy ending.

...

After sending away many people, Gu Hang, who was alone, called up the system interface.

Here, there is a brand new functional interface.

[vassal]

When he clicked on it, he saw some new information.

[Black Arrow Star: Luman Kingdom]

[Vastal level: LV3, low tendency to break away. ]

[Status: Military conquest, puppet head of state, domestic separatism]

[Monthly gift income: 344 points]

This was a pleasant surprise.

He fumbled around with this [vassal] system, but it didn't have any special functions, it was just a display of some data.

But with this display effect, it is already very good.

The vassal level is an assessment based on a combination of various circumstances.These include the degree of interference from external forces, the degree of control over the ruling class, local separatism in the vassal state itself, and the popular sentiment in the vassal state...

LV3 symbolizes the ordinary level. If this level is maintained, the possibility of this vassal territory breaking away, becoming independent, and separating is not high.

If it is lower than lv3, it will be more unstable.When it reaches LV2, the possibility of separation becomes higher; when it reaches LV1, it is equivalent to sounding the alarm. If no intervention is done, separation chaos will almost certainly occur and need to be quelled.

On the contrary, if it is higher than LV3, reaching LV4 means that it is almost impossible to separate.When reaching LV5, it means that it is recommended to annex this vassal and become the mainland.

Of course, this is not a game, but a real world.

The rating given by the system is real enough, but how to do it is Gu Hang's business.

He could have announced the complete annexation of the Luman Kingdom now, appointed himself king, intervened in all military, political and economic affairs here, and become a complete ruler.

But obviously, this will have huge hidden dangers.

First of all, the system may judge that Gu Hang only has nominal ownership of the place, or even has no such name, and the name is not justified. It is purely based on military occupation and has not even established effective rule. That is definitely not the case. Will recognize that this land belongs to him, and there is no income from gift points.

Secondly, it would be difficult for Gu Hang to establish a reasonable rule here.The other six countries jumped up; the empire would not admit this easily; Gu Hang's military occupation was very unstable, and he had to mobilize more troops to maintain the occupation; uprisings might come one after another...

This is why direct annexation is not recommended at LV3 level.

Gu Hang wouldn't do this either.

He was satisfied with his current status as a vassal.

Don't underestimate the vassal status. Gu Hang has already got what he needs.

He can use the vassal government to influence national policies.For example, he wanted to abolish the feudal system here and liberate productivity.Even if the nature of the Luman Kingdom as an agricultural country does not change, the efficiency of agricultural production should be improved. With millions of square kilometers of land and increased food production, the value is equally extraordinary.

The liberated peasant population can go to factories and carry out preliminary industrialization.

All in all, it makes sense to make the entire country rich.

Gu Hang didn't want to be in a place with an annual fiscal surplus of hundreds of thousands of tax dollars.

If the Luman Kingdom maintains its past status, then his operation will be a loss.

After becoming richer, Gu Hang will be able to draw more blood from the Luman Kingdom.

In addition to 'finance', Gu Hang also likes another thing in the Luman Kingdom: people.

The Luman Kingdom is not big. It is only as big as a province under the Angry Star Alliance regime.

However, although this place is backward and poor, it is still much better than the initial situation in the wasteland world of Raging Owl Star.The relatively fertile land supports a population of 4000 million people - which can already exceed the entire population of the entire Raging Owl Star.

Gu Hang plans to continue to extract people from the Luman Kingdom as an immigration policy to populate the Raging Owl Planet.

The Raging Owl Star is his base camp, and building it well will be the foundation for everything.

The mining areas in the eastern provinces require manpower; the Weixingcheng Industrial Zone he built with his own hands has almost endless demand for population; thousands of kilometers of fertile soil in the two provinces of the Qinggu region are just waiting to be developed...

Both human and financial aspects are where Gu Hang can continue to draw blood from the Black Arrow Star.

Not to mention, the servant army established directly on the Black Arrow Star can also replenish Gu Hang's army in large quantities.

Moreover, vassal states can also provide income from favor points, which is an additional surprise.However, the amount given is very small, only 4000 points for a population of 344 million.

On the one hand, it is because the productivity of the Luman Kingdom is indeed a bit too low;

On the other hand, the gift points given by the vassal country are naturally at a huge discount.

And this discount will also increase as the vassal level increases.

These are direct benefits.

In terms of politics, with one life, Lienes Luhmann could complete the plan he told his mother before.

Ness Luman is not only the head of state of the Luman Kingdom, he is also the planetary governor of the Black Arrow Star - even if he is only a term-term governor elected by the King's Council.Before, Gu Hang was still having a headache, planning how to successfully get the temporary governor after killing Ness Luman.

Don't worry about it now.

Ness Luhmann is, naturally, and in the 'international affairs' within the Black Arrow Star, he will be under much less pressure.

As for Nes, there are only two years left in his term...

It doesn't matter, let's talk about it in two years.

Perhaps, then, Black Arrow Star would not need to elect a governor.

...

After reading the information about the vassal system, Gu Hang clicked on another message.

This is a regular battle settlement information.

[Battle of Pinser City: bloody victory, 5695 gift points obtained]

[Total loss 16144, 67823 eliminated, 52446 captives]

[Alliance Expeditionary Force: 16144 losses, 67823 destroyed]

The reward of gift points is about what Gu Hang expected, maybe a little less.

Although Luman's troops had not been beaten, the four Knight Titans, plus the Sentinel mecha destroyed in the hands of his troops, were not waste, but high-value targets, which would improve the overall situation.

It's just that the four words "bloody battle and bloody victory" are a little harsh.

Although, after he led the team to support from the Raging Owl Star, he was able to fight the battle with great satisfaction.But before that, at the beginning of the battle, Purbov led three divisions and brigades and fought bloody battles in the suburbs for eight days. The losses were really not small.

Being sentenced to a bloody battle, Gu Hang just accepted it.

If you don't recognize it, what else can you do?

After receiving more than 5000 gift points, the total number of gift points on Gu Hang's hand has exceeded 17594.

The composition of this gift point is due to the fact that after the last battle in the Northern Territory of the Raging Owl Star and the killing of the original Raging Owl, Gu Hang had a large amount of income; coupled with the monthly gift income in the past two months, Gu Hang had no After looking at the flowers, I also made a surplus.Coupled with the more than 600 points of income this time, it adds up to so much.

In fact, there should be more.However, Gu Hang had previously raised his psyker level from LV5 to LV7, especially at the stage from 6 to 7, which cost a full [-] points of gifts.

Of course, it's not a pity.The upgrade cost of more than 1 points is necessary.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with Nes Luhmann's affairs today.

In the identification of the [vassal] interface, there is a message about the [Puppet Head of State] in the Luman Kingdom.

That, of course, refers to Ness Luhmann.

And this puppet is not just a puppet in the simple sense.

Ness Luhmann, although in his words, clearly expressed his unconditional surrender and his willingness to surrender with all his strength.However, Gu Hang had checked his past experiences and learned some about his past personality from his mother's mouth.

This is not a coward, a loser, or someone who is easily manipulated.

The more sincere and humble the attitude he displayed in front of him, the less Gu Hang believed him.

The hero is dormant, why?

Gu Hang understands the story of struggling to survive.

He was confident that he could defeat Ness Luman, especially since the military power was all in his hands. No matter how powerful that guy was, the knife was not in his hands, and he also needed to rely on Gu's Trading Company for foreign trade. He really couldn't afford to overturn a big problem. storm.

However, this is just a vassal state and a colony. Gu Hang's base camp is still on the Raging Star, and he will not be able to stay here for a long time in the future.

This guy doesn't look like he's willing to be a puppet.Maybe he would be stable at first and work hard for Gu Hang, but he would inevitably make various small moves secretly to accumulate strength for the future.

Don't be afraid of going home, worry is really annoying.

The key will also hinder Gu Hang from advancing his own plans.

But Gu Hang couldn't let go of his political significance, and he did have the ability to govern.

Then, it is necessary to create a real puppet.

Gu Hang gained the innate ability of [Mind Tampering] in a past upgrade.

He had always restrained himself from using this ability, but now, it was time to use it.

However, the ability of [Mind Tampering] is not as invincible as imagined.

It has a time limit; if the content it tampered with is significantly different from the subject's original intention, then the possibility of being broken away will become very high; the personality of a person whose mind has been tampered with will be deviated, and it is easy to Being discovered; IQ and subjective initiative will be greatly affected, and even without receiving instructions, they will become stupid, leaving only instinct...

These are questions.

Used to affect enemies in combat, that's okay.But if you want to cultivate a qualified political puppet through this, there are bigger problems.

But if these are just technical problems, there are still ways to make up for them.The worst thing is, from now on Gu Hang will come to Black Arrow Star more frequently, just to replenish Nes Luman's psychic effect if he has something to do.

But the other core problem is bigger: when encountering some psychic masters, inquisitors, or senior clergy of the state religion, it is very easy to expose Ness Luhmann's tampered mental state.

And Gu Hang will have to let this person serve as the governor of Black Arrow Star for a long time.

It is not a trivial matter for a planetary governor to have his mind tampered with. Once it is exposed and traced, the trouble will be great.

To be on the safe side, Gu Hang decided to undergo a major surgery.

He dragged Nes Luman's soul into his divine kingdom and carried out a detailed transformation from beginning to end.

The difficulty of the major transformation far exceeded Gu Hang's initial prediction. It required not only the talent of mind tampering, but also the use of the original power of the real world.

But fortunately, with the home court advantage in the Kingdom of God, he still completed the job.

Even during the process of performing this major operation, he also got some additional inspiration: Can he use the corresponding technology on his own soldiers?

Remove the part about mental tampering, emphasize the implantation of the origin of subspace, and add physical transformation and enhancement that are not involved this time...

What will happen then?

Chosen of the Storm?

It must be very strong!

However, this is still a fantasy for the time being.It's so hard to transform a mind and create a puppet, and I'm almost exhausted, let alone directly create the Chosen of the Storm.

However, Gu Hang's hard work is still very valuable.

Now, he can guarantee that unless someone whose attainments in the soul and spiritual realm far exceed his level comes and carefully examines Ness Luhmann, conventional detection methods will definitely not be able to detect him. The Governor of Black Arrow Star has been controlled by his mind.

Ness Luhmann completely retained his personality and intelligence, but he would [-]% guarantee his loyalty to Gu Hang.

Even if necessary, Gu Hang can project his consciousness into Nes Luhmann's body at any time.

This is more stable.

He spent a lot of effort to create such super hidden puppets, and the number he could maintain at the same time was extremely limited.

After paying such a high price, Gu Hang achieved the best effect he could, and there should be no trouble.

If he was really unlucky enough to encounter a mental master whose level was far superior to his own, and he insisted on giving Ness Luhmann a full-body examination on a whim, he would have no choice but to admit defeat.

However, the probability of this happening should be infinitesimally small, and Gu Hang felt that he could rest assured.
