Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1185: Chapter 642

Gu Hang instructed Galaraldo to convey the situation of the North and West lines, including the process of corruption and some speculations about the current status.

In today’s situation, the enemy should no longer be recognized as merely a group of rebels; rather, they should be treated as a cult infected with the insect virus.

Although this ’cult’ is special, not only having a large number of interstellar warriors but also expanding to thousands of worlds, they are still a type of insect-infested cult. This will directly reflect in their motives showing massive differences. Their ultimate goal is not occupation, but annihilation followed by consumption.

With this understanding, the Empire’s two-line strategy is undoubtedly foolish.

Especially the North Line.

Holding the idea of stepping into Reiaductus first and regarding Iron Armor as a Starfighter Battle Group to deal with, thinking that reaching their home planet would force them to abandon everything and return, is simply foolish.

Besides sounding a bit better, the rest are all shortcomings.

Gu Hang judged that Leroi is bound to suffer greatly.

Comparatively, the situation on the West Line is somewhat better, but not by much.

Although on the western battlefield they have targeted many worlds, conducted insect infestation clearance, and even employed some effective methods which Gu Hang learned and used, he inevitably shares a mindset similar to Leroi.

The arrangements on the West Line can only be said to be slightly better than the complete disregard seen on the North Line. But there are issues, too, as the Star Devouring Cosmos on the North Line, after all, still retains some strength, and the invasion situation is not that severe, allowing them to clean up their own mess. Magrey Cosmic Domain is completely wrecked, and Salius scarcely manages it, even drawing resources from the domain itself to support his expedition, indicating potential problems within the domain.

Both the West Line and North Line have their respective predicaments.

Gu Hang does not wish to hurriedly rush to the Princess Star Domain like them, and this is the reason.

He does not deny having a mindset influenced by local power leader’s divisive thinking, which he cannot admit externally, though there is no need to deceive himself, nor is there any shame in it.

However, putting those aside, purely from a commander’s perspective, Gu Hang believes that stabilizing the rear situation, strangling the potential gains of biomass behavior by insect race enemies, and cautiously advancing step by step is a more reliable choice.

Impulsively entering the Princess Star Domain is truly unwise.

The main forces on the West and North Lines likely face the situation of encountering a wasteland filled with worlds already consumed clean by the Princess, alongside a vast, countless insect swarm; while behind them, the overlooked problems erupt, cutting off their retreat with newly spawned insect swarms.

Gu Hang has already sent out this warning, and Galaraldo also stated that he would help in warning the two commanders of the West and North Lines.

In this aspect, he feels that he is indeed too selfless. Even despite conflicts with Mathieu Leroux, he does not forget to remind and warn.

However, Gu Hang is actually rather pessimistic about the effect of the warning.

Salius might be slightly better, as Gu Hang has not had much interaction with this individual and doesn’t know their disposition, but it’s unlikely to be worse than Mathieu Leroux’s.

As for the latter, Gu Hang is ninety percent sure that this person would not heed advice at all.

Moreover, it’s not just the commanders of the West and North lines who refuse to listen. As the messenger, is Galaraldo truly sincere in speaking for Gu Hang?

Their relationship is good, and they are steadfast political allies with broadly aligned interests, which is undeniable.

But broadly aligned does not mean completely aligned.

For instance, on this matter, there will be some disagreements between the two.

…

“Report to the Prime Minister! The warning has been transmitted to Commander Salius and Commander Leroux!”

“Good.” Galaraldo responded simply while tidying his appearance.

The secretary hesitated slightly but still spoke: “Is that enough? I’m afraid they won’t take it very seriously… Are you sure you don’t need to make a personal communication? It would be much more persuasive.”

“No need.” Galaraldo’s attitude remained quite casual, “This is just a reminder, transmitting some opinions of the Southern Commander for the commanders of the North and West lines to see, just to keep them informed. Don’t treat it as something too serious, and certainly not as a suggestion to the front-line commanders, let alone a command. Let them handle it on their own.”

“If that’s the case, I’m afraid the two battle group leaders on the front line will not take Mr. Gu’s opinions seriously and will continue to attack…”

“What’s the harm in that?”

Galaraldo’s rhetorical question left his secretary momentarily stunned.

Who doesn’t know that our Prime Minister’s closest political ally and also the largest local supporter is none other than Mr. Gu?

Previously, the secretary had listened to every word of the conversation between Galaraldo and Gu Hang.

Didn’t he agree sincerely to help persuade Mr. Gu?

Galaraldo sighed and earnestly said: “Little Gu’s ideas aren’t lacking, after all, being cautious is wise. However, such large-scale military operations, ultimately, depend on the front-line commanders’ own decisions. The Empire has commissioned them as commanders, thus trusting their judgment. If Gu Hang believes he should be cautious on the Southern Line, then he should act cautiously, moving step by step, which is perfectly reasonable. As for the other two, if they receive Gu Hang’s intelligence and speculations and still decide to continue their attack, then we should also trust their judgment. Gu Hang’s worries are valid, but we must also trust Sallius Warlord and Marshal Ruwa.”
