Chapter 961: 518 Chapter_2

This is already a significant investment and assistance.

However, he still remembered that Gu Hang had said before, if the “conditions were ripe,” the construction of the Grail-class could also arrange for a dock in Gelangya.

At that time, although Fisher was also looking forward to it, the feeling was nowhere near as intense as after seeing the actual object now.

He and his engineers, looking at the nearly completed Grail-class battle cruiser, had eyes glowing with intense light, and the anticipation in their hearts immediately transformed into a massive and fervent desire!

The only thought in their minds now was: We must figure out a way to bring the construction of the Grail-class to Gelangya!

This is their group’s chance to advance to the next level, breaking through the ceiling that had never been surpassed in the past decades, hundreds of years!

At this point, they no longer doubted whether abandoning the Star Domain Government, abandoning the rebels in the Menghe Star Domain, and fully supporting Gu Hang and the Alliance was the right choice.

This choice was absolutely correct!

They desperately wished to invest all their assets into various starship factories on Flying Wing Star, then learn from them how to build ships; they eagerly awaited the Alliance’s promised investments and aid, especially technology and personnel, to be in place as soon as possible, accompanying them back to Gelangya to push the necessary renovations swiftly across every corner of Gelangya…

Along with this, Fisher would no longer show a sour face to Lois.

Although Lois was not a core member of the Alliance, she was now the most convenient, even the only person they could contact to establish a connection with the Alliance.

Lois was not in a rush; she led Fisher and his group to inspect Rage Owl Star afterward.

The situation on Rage Owl Star was not even inferior to that of the shipyards on Flying Wing Star!

More crucially, just over twenty years ago, Rage Owl Star was still a ruin; now, in less than thirty years, the shipbuilding industry here is fiercely catching up to that of Flying Wing Star!

Subsequently, they were guided to Baishuo Star to see the shipbuilding factories where they could actually invest and the Alliance technology personnel waiting there.

The situation on Baishuo Star was not as awe-inspiring. The shipbuilding industry on this planet was even worse than that of Gelangya.

But precisely because of this, they saw better how the Alliance enacted renovations when taking over a place whose shipbuilding foundation was even worse than their own and how effective those renovations were.

After these inspections, Fisher and others became more confident about the upcoming renovations and investments in Gelangya.

After completing the inspection of Baishuo Star, their journey in the Dragonhawk Star Domain came to an end.

On the return journey, the Alliance’s tech team responsible for renovation and upgrades on Baishuo Star would accompany them directly to Gelangya in the Menghe Star Domain to fulfill the promise Gu Hang had made previously.

Simultaneously, there was another person who traveled with them.

That was Ms. Nell Lavis, who had accompanied them as a “guide” during this period.

Initially, Fisher thought Lois was merely seeing them off.

But soon, he felt something was off.

You are accompanying us too far, aren’t you?

Moreover, why are you relentlessly asking about the situation in Gelangya and the entire Menghe Star Domain along the way?

Although there was some friction at the beginning, considering that everyone got along relatively well in the latter half of the Dragonhawk journey, Fisher didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked Lois this question:

“What are you going to do?”

Lois replied with a smile: “I’m going to be the Head of Menghe Star Domain.”

Fisher was dumbfounded.

…

The push from Gu Shang was undoubtedly necessary for sending Nell Lavis to be the Head of the Menghe Star Domain.

Given the current situation in the Menghe Star Domain, he certainly needed someone he could trust to take on the role of the administrative head there and clinch the entire Star Domain’s power in the name of the Empire.

This would facilitate him in purging the 80% of the Star Domain territories under his control, clearing out any potentially remaining opposition or pro-Iron forces, ensuring that the manpower and resources on these planets could truly be utilized by him.

At the same time, seeing the Alliance’s army engaged in large-scale confrontations with the Princess’s Rebel Army in the northern part of the Menghe Star Domain, with the Alliance continually investing troop reserves and resources on the confrontation line, turning these originally low-value planets into fortresses.

All of this needed strong, reliable, and obedient governance to sort out.

Yet, during the prior thorough operations, with the help of Senior Judge Martini, the original star domain government structure of the Menghe Star Domain was nearly destroyed.

A reconstruction was urgently needed.

But selecting a candidate for this position was complex, as it involved taking over a head of the star domain position. Gu Hang couldn’t merely consider competence and loyal reliability when choosing a candidate, such as he couldn’t place Osenia in that position.

On one hand, Osenia was still very much needed at the Alliance Headquarters as the Alliance Premier; on the other hand, although Gu Hang never questioned Osenia’s capability and loyalty, her work experience had always been within the Alliance. Unlike Yan Fangxu and other military leaders who had a Star Realm Army General title, Osenia was recorded within the Empire only as a Planetary Governor–specifically the governor of Fetches II–which wasn’t a suitable status to be directly elevated to a star domain head position.

In contrast, Lois didn’t have this problem.

With her seniority, she had already climbed to the position of Chief Administrator of the Dragonhawk Star Domain, and moving slightly higher to the position of star domain head seemed acceptable.

She also had certain connections within the Space Domain Government, and in the last confrontation with the Fury Flame Battle Group, she had sided with the right team.

All these factors combined made promoting her to the position of Meng River Chief seem only natural.

She herself was extremely motivated.

Having originally thought her political career was over, she hadn’t expected the coveted head position to actualize in this way.

She led a team of officials from the Alliance framework, eager and excited to take office.

…

Gu Hang merely issued the directive for all these matters and then left them alone.

As the top leader of this Alliance which was now viewed as a formidable force, his work was naturally busy.

His busyness wasn’t due to the numerous affairs that needed his attention.

For an organization as large as the Alliance and the established system of the Alliance, everything could actually operate continuously without Gu Hang’s presence.

But that doesn’t mean the Alliance doesn’t need Gu Hang to do anything.

On the contrary, Gu Hang could handle all affairs.

Of course, he couldn’t do so; he must find the issues requiring his attention and resolution from the vast expanse of Alliance affairs and handle them appropriately.

Continuing the optimization and reform of the Alliance system, providing guidance for the development of key areas, understanding the situation on the front lines and issuing instructions…

He needed to steer the direction of the Alliance’s development.

Not just as a guide but also ensuring the Alliance does not stray off course.

He was obviously very busy.

Moreover, in terms of specific affairs, Gu Hang had a significant matter to handle.

After returning to the Tianma Star Sector and meeting some essential people, he set off for Yunluo.

Along the way, he met with several local leaders and star sector officials from the Alliance, inspecting their work.

However, these were merely convenient stops.

Even upon arriving at Yunluo Sector, his inspection of the economic center of Yunluo was of the same nature.

He didn’t stay in Yunluo for long before setting off again, heading to his final destination of this trip: Jindi Star in the Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector.

He wanted to personally visit the Mingyang Sect and meet the Principal Sages there.

Especially to meet Wu Jiarong Sage.
