Starting from the Planetary Governor

However, Gu Hang still held great expectations for the Beiqing Valley Province.

Unlike other areas, the Beiqing Valley region had a huge population base and an industrial foundation.

Although it was an agricultural industry, as long as agriculture could prosper and enable the eight million people on that nearly three million square kilometers of vast land to have an average of five hundred mu of arable land each, they would be able to live an idyllic life.

If that were the case, the per capita standard of living and the per capita agricultural output would both be very high. In terms of the overall system points supply, even if it was not as good as the heavy industrial center of Weixing City, it should not be much less.

In the past three months, Gu Hang's monthly system point income accumulated to 4,928 points.

Adding to that the 7,000-point reward after the end of the "Great Unclean One: Ge Wajia" incident, that made it 11,928 points.

But this was still far from the limit of the system points Gu Hang had in hand.

After the turmoil in the Green Valley region ended, Gu Hang once again saw the war campaign settlement interface after a long time.

[Comprehensive Victory: Received 6,424 system points]

[Lost 11,288, Killed 16.29 million, Captured 0]

[Alliance Army:...]

...

Since Gu Hang started executing his Green Valley strategy, especially since the Central Group Army moved south into the Green Valley region, almost half a year had passed.

During this time, there were a series of battles by the Central Group Army against the Aberrant Beasts.

And now, the system finally considers that the regular campaigns have mostly come to an end, and thus, the rewards for the entire campaign were settled.

Killing Aberrant Beasts really wasn't lucrative, millions were killed, yet the system points earned were only over six thousand.

But Gu Hang had nothing to regret.

He was truly wealthy now.

The total system points lying in his account had reached 18,352 points.

Looking at this number, he always felt a sense of unreality.

It seemed like just a short while ago, he was spending system points in the hundreds and thousands, meticulously calculating these precious system currencies and deciding where they should be allocated to contribute to the construction of his territory.

And now, all of a sudden, the magnitude of the number had inflated to a terrifying eighteen thousand plus.

This even made him somewhat bewildered for a moment.

He had never been this rich, and he didn't even know how to spend so many system points!

Of course, that was just a manner of speaking.

In reality, he had no mind to personally attend to the construction issues of the Beiqing Valley region, mainly because his attention was occupied by so many system points.

Spending money was quite a laborious task too!

The first thing he did was to boost the number of new star warriors from eight to a total of twenty-two.

This expenditure alone cost Gu Hang over four thousand system points. Experience tales at empire

Of course, this also brought about approximately six hundred T2 or T3 level special warfare elites. As of now, the Tenth Brigade also had a strength of a thousand men.

Having gone through the battle against the Great Demon at the maritime ruins, Gu Hang once again realized just how important it was to have top-tier individual fighting forces like the star warriors.

And even with the system's enhancement, the training of star warriors still required a relatively long cycle.

Even though they were expensive, Gu Hang still wanted to have them ready in advance.

Under ideal conditions, in another half year or so, the Phoenix Battle Group would be able to recover to a strength of twenty-six people.

For a battle group, this was still scarce, but at least there would be four formal tactical squads.

The reason for setting the number at twenty-six, instead of more, was because Gu Hang had a total of only twenty-two sets of power armor, including the old armor left by the former Phoenix.

If Gu Hang were to train more new blood for the battle group, once they grew up, there would be no power armor for them to use.

Of course, if Gu Hang was really flush with resources, he could actually train even more new troops. These new soldiers could temporarily go without armor and then buy it later on.

Or, once Gu Hang had the technology to manufacture power armor, this issue could be somewhat resolved.

But for the moment, there was no great need.

After all, no matter how many blessing points Gu Hang had left, there were plenty of places to spend them.

The first thing to do was to expand the army.

Not counting the militia in the Green Valley Region that had not been fully disbanded, the Alliance had a total of 25 division and brigade-level units, amounting to a total force of 170,000 men.

Gu Hang felt this number of troops was not quite enough.

He had calculated that, according to the Imperial Tax Currency, the total value of these 25 divisions should have already reached around 2.8 million Tax Currency.

That meant that after another year, when the Imperial Tax Officers arrived, if these troops were converted in place into a Star Realm Army Corps, then Gu Hang's first issue with the Imperial Tax would be resolved.

But Gu Hang could not possibly just stop military development there.

Two perspectives.

Firstly, Rage Owl Star still had plenty of troubles. The Eastern Provinces hadn't been pacified, The Northlands remained unrested, the Western Desert was still in a state of independence, and Blackbird Heavy Industries on the far west was a big deal.

There was no such thing as having too many troops.

Moreover, Gu Hang also needed to worry that if his troops were converted locally into the Star Realm Army and one day actually got transferred away by the Imperial Military Department, leaving him without armed forces on the planet, what then?

Based on the current population of the Alliance, which was over 14 million, Gu Hang planned to expand the regular army to a force of 300,000.

He had already discussed this with Colonel Tadeusz, the Chief of the Military Affairs Department.

The Alliance's army would gradually expand by another 13 division and brigade-level units over the next six months.

And also, he had to solve a problem that had long existed.

Currently, within the Alliance's 25 land divisions, there were four types: mechanized combined brigades, motorized infantry divisions, garrison divisions, and special brigades.

Except for the most unique, the singular Tenth Special Warfare Brigade, out of the remaining 24 divisions, there were only two mechanized combined brigades; four motorized infantry divisions. The other 17 divisions were all garrison divisions.

In the organization of the Alliance Army, a garrison division only has over 6,000 people, and the equipment is very cheap, G9 individual equipment package plus squad and platoon, support fire at company and battalion levels, plus some artillery, that's it.

This is the most basic 'line-filling' division.

The term 'garrison' itself represents the role Gu Hang assigned to them.

In some places, it's enough just to hold the line.

They are not the main force to be relied upon.

However, the 13 divisions that Gu Hang was going to expand, numbered 26-38, would be different.

First, he expanded all motorized infantry divisions from three battalions to four, bringing the full strength to 11,700 men.

Next, he formed 9 new motorized infantry divisions, and 4 mechanized brigades.

Counting the existing troops, the Alliance Army's total strength would reach a scale of 310,000 men.

And among them, the main field forces, namely the motorized infantry divisions and mechanized brigades, would account for the majority, reaching a scale of 200,000 men.

And to train these thirteen divisions, as well as to fill out the rosters of all the previous divisions, the Alliance would need to recruit about 140,000 new soldiers to enter the military.

To train this batch of recruits to T5 level, Gu Hang would spend 1,400 blessing points.

Plus, it's conservatively estimated that it would take half a year to produce all the various equipment they needed—of course, that's another matter if the productivity of Weixing City has significantly improved during this time.

When someone asks Gu Hang, "How many divisions do you have?"

Then Gu Hang could pat his chest and say, "I have 38 divisions!"

However, Gu Hang couldn't really just wait for several months until the troops were all ready before starting the next military action.

In fact, after the end of the turmoil in the Green Valley Region, the Central Group Army left 11 garrison divisions behind to stay and station locally, and the 7 main field battle divisions returned to the vicinity of Revival City.

The soldiers were given half a month of leave to reunite with their families, spend some money buying things, and enjoy life a little.

Then, they were reassembled and began advancing to the east.

They would pass through the Central-North Province and enter the previously unstepped Eastern Provinces of the Alliance to reclaim that land.
