Chapter 74, Dilemma

"Why didn't anyone stop them?"

Mondoc, who was in the outer city, guarding the gate and sitting in the army, had just been awakened. When he learned the news, he was already very frightened.

After the governor's army arrived yesterday, although the nephew he sent failed to come back, the governor's army actually stopped outside and did not move. This made him quite satisfied. His tough attitude had achieved results.

, the next thing to do is to consider how to talk to the governor.

But who would have thought that early this morning, he would hear the shocking news!

Under the escort of seven space warriors and eleven battle sisters, the governor swaggered through his army and was walking on the road, heading towards the inner city.

During the whole process, there seemed to be a very 'peaceful' relationship between his army and the governor's guards.

It is said that an officer who blocked the road was killed and his head was deflated with a punch.

But other than that, not a shot was fired, not a cannon was fired.

His soldiers just left the "enemy" alone and walked over.

why is that?

Have all my troops rebelled?

This was the source of Mondoc's fear.

Because it's not impossible.

He is a general and a commander, but nominally he is a subordinate of the governor, who is the highest commander. Ordinary soldiers do not know that much about the twists and turns above, and they will not easily position the governor as an enemy.

.

To a certain extent, if the soldiers really rebelled, what could he do?

Mondoc couldn't even hold back and looked around, fearing that the next moment, before the governor's people could arrive, his own soldiers would tie him up and shout something like 'borrow the general's head'

Something like that.

But fortunately, this did not happen. His guard camp was still loyally guarding the outside.

The adjutant who came to report the news answered his previous question: "It is true that no one stopped me. I inquired about it and said that you may have allowed the governor's team to pass, so the soldiers did not dare to block or fire..."

Not to mention others, even he himself thinks so.

"Fart!" Mondoc was furious!

"Uh...you've never given such an order?"

Faced with this problem, Mondoc calmed down.

He calmed down and quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind.

The situation shouldn't be as bad as he just thought.

The soldiers are just confused, confused, and at a loss now, but they have no intention of rebelling.

The prestige that Mondoc established among the troops still exists, and the soldiers will still regard him as the supreme commander of the troops.

The more important point is that the propaganda they have been doing for a long time among the alliance authorities, among the troops, and even in the entire city is still effective.

Only six years have passed since the brutal rule of the second-generation governor, and people still have fresh memories. No one wants to go back to that time. And it is with the help of this public opinion that they have been able to achieve great success in the past six years.

On the one hand, they puppetized the governor so that his decrees could not leave the office, let alone affect the wider land outside Fuxing City; on the other hand, they also secretly blamed the governor for many of the bad things they had done.

.

In Raging Owl Star and Time City, after the baptism of time in the past twelve years, although there are still people who remember the revival of a generation of governors, people now do not have much favorable impressions of the governors sent by the empire.

Hatred is not something to be reckoned with. After all, he is new here and has not had time to do bad things yet. But the remaining fear and resentment are not much at all.

After Gu Hang arrived, he actually jumped out of Fuxing City and went outside to mess around. This was something that the alliance's senior officials did not expect, but they were happy to see it.

If you are willing to play any construction game, then go and play it yourself. No one believes that he can survive the imperial tax two years later by just relying on outside construction from scratch. Two years later, the governor was executed, and the alliance

The top management then introduced some scapegoats, saying they were members of the Governor-General's government, and they were all finished together, and then they just waited for the next Governor-General to come, and it lasted another two years.

It is precisely because of this that they have recently relaxed their smear campaign against the new governor.

Not to mention, among them, there was a traitor like old Hodgson!

Inadvertently or unintentionally, the news that the new governor was making a big splash outside had spread among the poor outside Fuxing City.

Until recently, they realized that the problem was huge. They even killed Hodgson and made it clear to the Governor that they wanted to confront him. Under this situation, they started a new round of urgent publicity work, trying to build Gu Hang into a new

The 'second-generation governor' said that he would come back to seize power, and that he would arrest half of the people in Fuxing City and pay them as imperial taxes, and how miserable it would be to be paid as human taxes...

But in fact, if the poor are really paid as human taxes... it might not be a good thing. It may be better to live as a slave laborer on a starship than to be a poor person on the Raging Owl.

Of course, there is also a chance of being sent to the Astra Militarum to work as slave labor, cannon fodder, or as a frontline logistics transport team... That may be a little bit worse. Although they are still well-fed, the average lifespan is a bit lower, measured in hours.

But when they publicize, they don't talk about having enough to eat, and they don't talk about glory and honor. They only talk about how long they will live.

Their propaganda still has a certain effect.

Gu Hang had been doing great work outside in the past and attracted many refugees. Henry and Hodgson also publicized it, which gave him a very good reputation.

Now, if they say bad things about Gu Hang, the effect will be limited. But at least it will dilute the previous good reputation a lot, reminding people of the fear of being ruled by the governor, and the attitude that has already changed will become

Hesitated.

Thinking back to this, Mondoc had to be thankful that it was a good move. Otherwise, he might really face a situation where the governor would raise his arms and the soldiers would defect.

After analyzing these situations clearly, Mondoc roughly knew what he should do.

He needs to come forward in person and use his own prestige to strengthen the will of the soldiers so that they can clearly distinguish the situation and who is the 'enemy' and who is the commander-in-chief.

Even at the critical moment, he needed to further insist on his tough stance and let the guard battalion, under his encouragement, clearly stop Gu Hang from moving forward, thereby mobilizing the entire army.

But thinking of this, he hesitated again.

Intellectually, this is no problem; but do you really have to go out in person and face the Space Marines?

If the governor really ignores it and orders an assault, can only a few hundred people from his own guard camp be able to stop it?

I am afraid that my head will be removed before the army has time to react and the heavy artillery has not had time to mobilize.

Mondoc was in a dilemma.
