Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1188: Chapter 643: Strict, Severe, Swift

After assigning tasks to the intelligence division, Gu Hang immediately devoted himself to major military and political affairs.

Gu Hang said that the Alliance currently has no spare strength to enter the Princess Star Domain and needs to stabilize the occupied territories. This was not merely an excuse, but truly necessary.

That is not an easy task; there are too many matters to handle.

Just in military terms, there are already plenty.

This is even with the large-scale actions in the Thistle Muster Star Field, which do not require much of Gu Hang’s management, otherwise, he would be even busier.

After he directly defeated the main fleet led by Waluk himself, it certainly caused a huge stir throughout the Alphonso Star Domain.

Upon this, who in the Star Domain doesn’t know that the Alfonso Sect has become a thing of the past?

Waluk himself has been captured and sent by Gu Hang to Holy Terra to stand trial. What is there left to hesitate over?

Of course, this only affected those within the normal range of Sect of Mechanics believers. For those already infected, such an impact doesn’t exist.

They have become slaves of the void Insect Swarm; their remaining personal will is just an illusion before the transformation, no hope of surrender from them.

The current issue is, how severe is this situation throughout the Alphonso Star Domain?

As facts have proven, it is quite serious.

During this period, the diplomatic department of the Alliance and the Alamita Sect led by Moro have been tirelessly contacting every planet within reach in the Alphonso Star Domain. Not only to disarm and cease resistance but also to make them realize the grave crimes committed by Waluk and that he has dragged the entire sect into an abyss. Those modified and corrupted individuals are not just betraying the Empire and the God of All Machines; they have lost self-awareness and become enslaved by the Insect Race, a fate far worse than death.

Whether the members of the Sect of Mechanics whose minds are still clear or the planetary governors, government organizations, or ruling classes not directly controlled by the sect, they can understand and accept this view, willing to stand on the side of the Alliance.

No matter if they genuinely believe it or are forced to by the Alliance’s victory and Alfonso’s inability to resist between the stars; as long as they are willing to accept, it’s enough.

But the problem lies in the scale and extent of the infection, which exceeds imagination.

Primarily, it exceeded Moro’s expectations; the Alliance had a certain psychological preparation for this.

More than four hundred planets experienced direct unrest. When loyalty factions decided to correct the chaos, the infected no longer hid.

Widespread rebellion broke out on various planets.

Initially, Moro’s report claimed it was due to aggressive actions during internal cleansing on individual planets.

But soon, his cover-up was exposed.

Those planets that underwent cleansing, despite experiencing rebellion, were at least controllable.

Those acting slowly saw more severe rebellions, to the extent that relying solely on planetary power couldn’t resolve them.

Gu Hang called Moro over, paying no mind to be lenient with the Founding General who had defected, and harshly reprimanded him.

For those infected, is there any point in appeasement? If not cleansed, would they be grateful?

Impossible.

Hence, it must be severe, significant, and swift!

Moreover, the Alliance fleet dispatched everywhere. The main fleet remained idle, but often a single cruiser or even a destroyer, accompanied by some escort ships or patrol ships, would head down to each planet’s orbit to provide orbital support or assist local forces in reclaiming systems occupied by the infected.

Furyflame and New Century Torch battle groups also split into individual strike teams, following fleet operations.

Salius’s method used on the western front, expanded in the Thistle Muster Star Field, was readily adapted by Gu Hang throughout the Alphonso Star Domain.

Special envoys were dispatched to establish the “Pest Control Office” to coordinate native planetary forces with dispatched military forces from the Alliance to solve insect threat issues.

These are verified, relatively mature solutions.

For minor issues, a few Alliance ships make rounds, send down thousands to tens of thousands of personnel to demonstrate presence; for severe matters, deploy an army group, fleet for permanent stay, and interstellar warrior precise strikes…

In any case, there are ways to deal with them.

The biggest problem pertains to over fifty worlds outright ignoring communication from both the Alliance and Alamita Sect.

Assessment suggests these worlds are likely considered completely fallen.

It’s not that no loyalists exist inside anymore, all have been corrupted, or infected, but at least the ruling class has fallen.

In other planets, there are situations of traitor-infested highest management layers, even widely visible. However, on those planets, one ruling class, one interest group, or even one hero can emerge to lead the loyalists to rally together, resist traitor-infected, and contact the Alliance and Alamita Sect, accepting assistance on behalf of the planet.

These completely disconnected worlds can’t even do that.

This indicates either the entire world is severely corrupted, and the loyalists can only exist obscurely, unable to form a reliable force; or, despite the presence of representative loyalist forces, the planet is heavily sealed, rendering them unable to contact the Alliance and Alamita Sect.

Additionally, there’s a shared characteristic among them; they are close to the other two Founding Worlds of Alphonso, even surrounding the core worlds next to the Founding Worlds.

The severity of corruption was anticipated.

Under such circumstances, the mature solution of the “Pest Control Office” can’t be implemented. To solve these planetary issues, the Alliance must muster courage and attack each planet one by one in unfamiliar scenarios lacking intelligence support.

Even for the Alliance’s current national strength, it cannot support simultaneous, sizable warfare on fifty worlds.

Neither naval power nor troop transport capability is sufficient.

Resources aren’t enough; the Alliance can’t afford this expense.

But not solving it, would that work?

Those planets might harbor Insect Swarms, wherein once digestive pools open, meat carpets spread, infected individuals sent one by one, breeding massive insect swarm armies, even biological ships via meat carpets and hatchery pools…

That would be a major disaster.
