Chapter 71, Life is the emperor’s coin

If Gu Hang knew what Mondoc was thinking, he would definitely laugh: I'm going to kill a few people, why am I bombarding a city?

Will he really give the order for Yelicia to bombard Fuxing City?

Yes and no.

Yes, it means a small-scale, relatively precise military strike; no, it means that Fuxing City will not be destroyed until the last moment.

The inner city of Fuxing City plus the poor people in the outer city have a total population of nearly one million.

And what is the population of the entire Raging Owl Star?

Six years ago, in the final years of the second-generation governor, when the imperial tax was paid for the last time, the number was more than 42 million.

One planet, with a population of 42 million, which is 0.5% of the heyday of the Raging Owl before the war.

99.5% of the population was lost in that war and in the hundred years of darkness and chaos after the war.

After the second-generation governor's rule ended, the governor was replaced every two years. In the past six years, has the situation of Raging Owl Star improved?

Apparently not.

Based on the situation here, the population is probably still continuing to decline.

Compared with the population, the loss of productivity is probably more serious. This also leads to the fact that the population is obviously very small compared to a planet, but people are still worthless. Because even with such a small number of people, the current output of the Raging Owl Planet

Still raising it very reluctantly.

Therefore, the answer to this question is now clear: Why is Gu Hang never willing to easily order starships to bombard Fuxing City?

Because this is one of the few densely populated places on the Raging Owl. Calculated with a population of one million, it was already 2.3% of the total population of the entire planet six years ago. And the actual proportion will only be higher than this number.

Gao. According to Cai Hang's estimates, the current total population of Raging Owl may be less than 40 million, or even less.

Moreover, regardless of the poor people outside Fuxing City, who are extremely poor, this city is still a pearl on the angry owl star. This city that brings together the inner and outer cities together with millions of people, the scale effect brings

The increase in productivity is greater than that of a million small gatherings with a population of 10,000 people combined.

Bombing Fuxing City, losing 2.3% or even higher proportion of the world's population, and losing more than 5% of global productivity are things that Gu Hang is not willing to accept. Not to mention, the original population gathering place of Fuxing City will be lost.

, then huge development potential is lost.

If we can win and control the city peacefully, with a population of one million and cooperating with Gu Hang's technological system, we can burst into huge production capacity. Without Fuxing City, Gu Hang would have to fill the wasteland with thousands of people, and hundreds of people,

Find small hidden and guarded places like the countless abandoned cave societies to gather the population.

The peaceful control of Fuxing City is comparable to Gu Hang's recovery of a thousand ruined cave societies.

This is the biggest reason why Gu Hang would not order the destruction of Fuxing City unless it was absolutely necessary.

Life is the emperor's coin. This sentence is apt, but there is another sentence behind it: 'Make good use of it.'

Even if the emperor is like this, Gu Hang, a governor whose entire wealth may theoretically be less than 40 million, has no reason to be so extravagant that he can waste one million 'coins' at will.

…

If you say six hours, it means six hours.

A transport ship disembarked from the Quintet, bringing a squad of Battle Sisters.

Eleven nuns, led by Sister Sister Gerrit, came to the surface.

They were all over 1.8 meters tall, and they looked even taller and thicker when they wore battle armor. The milky white battle armor was dotted with green patterns, making them look holy and elegant, making them really look like living lily ladies.

When they walked out of the hatch, Gu Hang thought he saw another battle group coming out.

Of course, it's just a sense of déjà vu. The difference between the two is quite big.

The phoenix's red armor looks like a bloodied veteran; the Mercy Lily's bright green and milky white armor looks like an elegant lady spreading the gospel.

The biggest difference lies in their body size. Each of the battle nuns, who are over 1.8 meters tall, are already very tall and strong among women. Not to mention wearing power armor, their bodies are taller than those of ordinary troops.

Much larger.

However, it is still incomparable to the Space Marines whose average per capita is 2.3 meters and 2.4 meters tall, and whose body is also very large horizontally.

Gu Hang collected his thoughts and stepped forward to greet him.

"Ms. Gritte, welcome to your arrival. With your help, the traitors and heretics of Angry Owl Star will be unable to escape."

Unlike the Space Marines who always had a dead face, the attitude of the leader of the Battle Sisters seemed gentle and kind - at least that was how it was for Gritte.

With short white hair, she reached out her hand with a smile and shook Gu Hang's hand.

Her voice was low, gentle, and very healing: "I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Governor, and I hope we can have good cooperation in the future."

After saying this, she turned her gaze to Martins, the leader of the Space Marine Chapter who was standing not far behind Gu Hang.

Smiling and nodding.

Martins nodded in response.

Gu Hang observed this.

These two people have a story.

He asked curiously: "You two... know each other?"

Gritte smiled and said: "If Mr. Governor wants to know, it's better to ask Chapter Commander Martins. If he doesn't want to tell you, I can't say much."

Gu Hang turned his attention to Martins again.

Martins didn't speak for a while. He thought he wouldn't get an answer, but in the end, this serious space warrior still spoke: "We fought side by side in the Organ Sector."

Gerrit said: "I want to thank you. Without you, the Holy Mercy Lily may no longer exist."

"No, I want to thank you. You could have evacuated, but you insisted on fighting side by side with us."

Gerrit smiled with a hint of intelligence: "That's not what you said at the time."

Martins rarely felt a little shy: "I..."

"Hahaha!" Gritte laughed and walked forward. Although she was much shorter than Martins, and both of them were wearing power armor, this did not prevent the head nun from giving the chapter leader a big hug.

Embrace.

"Anyway, it's a pleasure to see you again, my comrade. Congratulations on your redemption of your sins, and may the God-Emperor bless your future."

…

It's amazing that two comrades who have reunited after a long separation can meet again in a small place like the Raging Owl Star, and have the opportunity to fight side by side again. The so-called 'Organ Sector' they two talked about is so far away

The Tianma star region is very far away.

But they don't have much time to reminisce about old times.

The time to set off has arrived.

The reason why it has been delayed until now is because Gu Hang is waiting for the arrival of the battle nuns. Although there are only eleven of them, they are still eleven outstanding warriors. As long as two or three nuns cooperate, there is a considerable chance of defeating them.

An ordinary space marine.

What's more, there is the head nun Gerrit. Gu Hang can vaguely sense through spiritual energy that the strength of this head nun is probably not much weaker than Martins.

Of course, no more news has come from Fuxing City, and old Hodgson seems to have really disappeared from the world, and his life and death are unknown.

But Gu Hang didn’t plan to wait any longer.

The Servitor Battalion looks after the house. There are more than 1,500 soldiers from the 2nd to 6th Battalions, Marines, Phoenix Space Marines, Holy Mercy Lily Battle Sisters... a whole team, escorting the Governor from the camp to Fuxing City.
