Chapter 525, 'Ronglin' ​​and 'Golden Wing'

Jason Morgan, as the star region governor appointed by the Alliance, is different from the regular system of the Empire, where the leader is like a paperhanger and has no real power.

Under the alliance system, it is emphasized that each level of government should play its role. Moreover, the planetary governor of the alliance is not like the regular imperial planetary governor, who has full authority over the planet. The government and the army of the alliance are separate. The construction of the army is the responsibility of the military and political departments under the management of Thadius. Even the planetary defense force - the alliance calls it the Allied Forces - is built and trained by the military and political departments under the jurisdiction of each planet.

The command of the army is all under the general command system of the Alliance Army. The planetary garrison system operates under the command of the commanders of various armies of the Alliance, and the main force of each army is still the Alliance Army system.

The power of the planetary governor is almost isolated from the military. He neither participates in the construction of the army nor in the command of the army. He is a pure administrative official.

Moreover, they have a clear superior-subordinate relationship with the Star District Manager, and they need to report their work to the Star District Manager. Although the Star District Manager cannot directly remove the Planetary Manager, the quality of the latter's work will be greatly affected by his evaluation, and he will be held accountable if he makes mistakes.

As the governor of the star zone, he can also intervene in the management of each planet more directly and smoothly, and allocate the resources of each planet to enable all the worlds in the star zone to achieve coordinated development.

This is only possible with the clear upward centralization changes brought about by the alliance.

Of course, zone governors like Jason Morgan are also isolated from the military.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't need military support.

There are bad people among the masses.

The person tied to the chair in front of me is...

This was one of the former ruling classes on Ronglin Star.

To be honest, Jason Morgan doesn't think highly of these people at all.

They performed poorly during the Iron Teeth War and basically offered no resistance. They just ran away with their men and hid all over the planet.

It would be fine if it was just that. We can't expect strong men to drop from every planet and lead the survivors to fight the greenskins and make some noise. If we can organize the survivors and keep as much vitality as possible under the threat of the greenskins, it means we have accomplished the mission.

However, the ruling class on Ronglin Star and many other planets of Steel Fire Dragon were still exploiting, squeezing, and even living a fairly luxurious life at that difficult and critical moment.

After being liberated by the Ming Yang Sect, they still controlled the planet and actively moved closer. The Mechanicus was too lazy to directly deal with these matters, and these local forces were willing to be dogs, so wasn't that good?

But they were dogs for the Mechanicus. When the Mechanicus was ferociously sucking blood in order to rebuild itself, these people, as accomplices, also took this opportunity to suck blood continuously.

In the short period of time between the end of the Iron Tooth War and the arrival of Jason Morgan four years ago, rebellions and riots broke out one after another on the Steel Fire Dragon planets, especially on Ronglin, which of course caused great harm to the society on the planet.

However, in Morgan's own opinion, he actually prefers to regard those things as "uprising".

If a person can't survive anymore, won't he fight you to the death?

When Jason Morgan came to power, he certainly wanted to change these problems.

On the one hand, they looked down on the original ruling class, and on the other hand, their ruling methods were too crude and rubbish. Morgan needed the planet to develop, so he had to liberate the productivity of the native planet, and he couldn't use such a backward production method to allow the original ruling class to exploit and oppress them like slaves.

It was not just that this group of people, as the middle class, robbed too much profit. If that was the only thing, Morgan could tolerate it. What he could not tolerate was that this inefficient plunder led to a great suppression of the productivity of the entire society.

Under his continuous attacks for four years, with the support of the Allied Navy and Army, these original rulers were hit hard.

They are a bunch of spineless people. If they can kneel before the Mingyang Sect, they can certainly kneel before a more powerful alliance.

However, the difference is that the Mechanicus does not care about them and even indulges them; while the Alliance strictly controls them and takes away power and benefits from them.

They dared not confront these "kneeling tribes" head-on, and they kept making trouble and disrupting things in private. Even in the early days of Morgan's rule, when he had to rely more on the original administrative power of each planet, these people not only pretended to obey but also liked to do... According to Governor Gu, "carrying the red flag to oppose the red flag."

No one dared to oppose some of Morgan's policies openly, so he increased them several times and implemented them in an extreme direction, causing public outrage and public resentment.

Jason Morgan has really had enough of these people.

After fighting with this gang for four years within the framework of the rules, Morgan was tired of it.

Without the burden of these people, Morgan is confident that he can double the development level of several planets of Steel Fire Dragon.

I have endured until today, and finally I don't have to endure it anymore.

After greatly weakening the ruling power of these original groups within the political framework, he can now finally take ruthless action and physically eliminate them.

They are even too lazy to follow the procedures to avoid any recurrence. They arrest, try and eliminate people in secret. Although it is not very aboveboard, it is a necessary measure when necessary.

Only by eradicating the cancer as soon as possible can we develop better in the future.

He paced around the prison and saw that more than 200 people had been arrested, basically according to the list he had given.

All of them were gagged and not allowed to say a word.

After making sure the list was complete, he walked out of the prison.

At the door, he nodded slightly to the head of the secret police, confirming the results of his work.

The other party handed over a document.

Morgan signed and personally pressed the button that he brought to him.

This button leads to each cell below and can switch the ventilation duct gate inside the cell.

The deadly poison gas was sent into every cell, and in just a few minutes, all the prisoners would lose their lives silently.

These two hundred people, in the past and even in the present, were all powerful people on Ronglin Star. Slave owners, monopoly business owners, union chairmen, feudal lords... all kinds of identities together constituted the color of their rule.

And now, as Morgan pressed the button, all the colors turned gray and black.

If we continue to use political means to slowly fight them, we don't know how long it will take to get rid of them all.

Let's cut through the mess quickly.

In fact, this should have been done a long time ago.

It's just that Morgan's control was not enough before.

On the one hand, it was barely enough now, and on the other hand, the external political environment had also undergone major changes. While thinking, Morgan heard footsteps again.

"Is everything settled?" the visitor asked.

"Ah."

"Then let's go. The most important thing for today has not yet been done."

"Yeah, let's go!"

Morgan put his arm around the visitor's shoulder and walked away while talking to him in a low voice.

This is his partner, Todd Paulson, the planetary governor of Ronglin Star.

After they walked out of the prison, they boarded the hovercraft that had been waiting outside. After several hours of high-speed flight, they arrived at the ground starport of Ronglin Star. They then took the space elevator directly to the starport and changed the hovercraft parked at the starport...

It was indeed not easy to mess with the Starport last time.

But they still have to come.

They need to stay here and wait for a senior official from the Alliance headquarters.

The Chief Political Commissar of the Alliance Military and Political Department, Senior General Taddius.

Compared to Jason Morgan, who had to work hard in a tough but fruitful place like Steel Rathron to fight for a seat on the Central Committee, Thaddeus was an absolute big shot.

Apart from Gu Hang, the leader of the alliance, Thadius's status is extremely important among the remaining alliance leaders.

Even if he is not the number one in the alliance military, he is at least a strong contender.

Although he had never directly led the Alliance's army, the Military and Political Department, to some extent, assumed responsibilities similar to those of the Imperial Military Affairs Department. It was responsible for military construction, which included logistics equipment, conscription training, military ideological construction, and officer promotion approval...

All these military and administrative tasks will ultimately fall to the Military and Political Department headed by Thadius.

And, if it is to be said, Thadius's direct influence on the army is also very strong.

Although, ordinary officers and commanders had little to do with him, the political commissar system, which played a very important role in the alliance army, was formally under his leadership.

Although the main job of the military political commissars is to be responsible for the ideological construction of each unit, it does not involve command. In a single unit, the priority of taking over the command is behind the deputy and the chief of staff. However, the political commissar is special in that he has the power to ignore any priority and take over the entire unit in an emergency. When they believe that the military commander has betrayed, deserted, or is afraid of fighting, they can even execute him.

Although this situation rarely occurs, the military chief and the political chief are generally considered a good partner in the army. And if this situation really happens, the corresponding political commissar will also be subject to strict scrutiny afterwards.

However, this kind of extraordinary power exists after all, and no one can ignore his status as the dual leader of the military unit.

If a single political commissar was like this, let alone Thadius himself, the political commissar of the entire army. His power was not even limited to the military branch. Now the position of political commissar also existed in the Alliance Navy.

For example, the generals in the Alliance Navy, whether they are battleship captains or fleet commanders, or commanders-in-chief like Yan Fangxu in the army, although they are of different sequences and similar military ranks, and their status may be similar, but their influence is naturally not as great as that of Thadius, who has more extensive powers.

How could a small person like Rong Lin deserve such attention and attention from him?

In fact, there are still some.

First, Ronglin Star is located on the key road to the east and north of the Steel Fire Dragon Star area.

The second is that Jason Morgan, over the past four years, overcame all difficulties, mobilized his own, his wife's, and his sister-in-law's connections, and begged for resources to build the Ronglin Star Port.

Every time he came to Ronglin Starport, Morgan would always feel a surge of pride in his heart.

This is his achievement.

Frankly speaking, Ronglin Starport is not that big in scale. It cannot be compared with the starports in the core worlds of the alliance, such as Feiyi Star, Yunluo Star, and Nuxiao Star.

It is roughly a second-tier starport in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, or even a weaker second-tier.

However, compared with the development level of Ronglin Star itself, the specifications of this star port far exceed the demand.

With such a weak economic foundation, why would Jason Morgan go to such lengths to expand the Starport? Wouldn't it be better to invest the resources in other economic development paths?

The reason lies in the first point.

Since he has the advantage of being a major transportation hub, Morgan can judge that there will be more and more trade interactions between Jindi Star and the Alliance in the future, and many worlds that were originally under the control of the Mingyang Sect will be controlled by the Alliance again... In this way, if there is a distribution center for the goods shipped from Jindi Star and from the Alliance, it will naturally greatly improve efficiency.

This is what he seeks.

Recently, with the completion of a large starport, his plans finally began to produce some results.

He personally flew to Jindi Star once and found Sage Wu Jiarong. Although he was not familiar with her, he shamelessly requested one thing: the Mingyang Sect's transport ships no longer had to deliver the goods directly to every destination, but only had to deliver them to the nearby Ronglin Star. Ronglin Star contacted several chambers of commerce, and they were even trying to build their own caravans to be responsible for distribution to other planets.

Similarly, those chambers of commerce that have reached an agreement with Jin Dixing can also unload the goods sent by him at Ronglin.

As a distribution center, Ronglin Star can make a lot of money here. The self-built chamber of commerce, the maintenance of starships, the consumption of personnel rest and recuperation... all of them are money, which can drive the development of the local economy.

At present, such a system has already taken shape.

But Morgan felt that this was not enough, he thought it could be accelerated further.

So he got a good publicity opportunity.

General Thadius hasn't arrived yet, but the thing he cares most about this time has already arrived.

Jason Morgan and Planetary Manager Paulson were in the starport together, admiring the two huge ships parked at Ronglin Port:

'Steel Wing' and 'Rong Lin'!

These are two 'Dragon Snake Class' battlecruisers built on Jindi Star and delivered to the Alliance!

Just like the transportation of some goods and raw materials, they were first driven to Ronglin Star Port by the Mechanicus to vacate their shipyard. Afterwards, the crew of the Mingyang Sect withdrew, leaving only some necessary technicians, who would be delivered to the Alliance along with the ship.

The delivery location was Ronglin Star. Thaddeus came to Ronglin Star as the highest leader of the Alliance Armament Management Department to conduct the delivery of the two battlecruisers with the Mingyang Sect.
