Chapter 1771: Chapter 1007: The Trend of Calamity’s End
The production capacity and efficiency on Holy Terra have great potential waiting to be tapped.
As the heart of the Empire, the production capacity it once boasted was terrifying.
Even after experiencing the baptism of a brutal war, Holy Terra still contains immense potential.
But the premise is being able to tap into it and make it work for oneself.
When the policy from the Alliance Central was implemented, and a group of stewards eager to make achievements in the Legal Department began working hard everywhere, the place underwent a significant transformation in just a few years.
Various noble families were rapidly disbanded under the strong political decrees.
A considerable part of them, in the end, accepted their fate without causing trouble—like the Kafiora family.
The family’s entire industry was taken over, yet they did not use their influence within the industry to sabotage the Central Government. Instead, they cooperated well with the reception and transfer work, ensuring the smooth continuation of the handing-over process.
Since they accepted it, were submissive, and surrendered, they acted decisively and thoroughly. They once again demonstrated decisiveness without hesitation.
Such cooperative attitude earned them quite good returns.
Although the family’s industry was lost, the acquisition price was decent; with the money, distributed it, and the family’s members were fragmented, with hardly anyone left in Indinea Nest Capital, dispersed to other nest capitals, and even to other worlds.
However, everyone in the family received rather high ranks under the Alliance’s system. Moreover, many received good positions suited to their high ranks. Among them, in other worlds, there were some who became administrators of nest capitals or even Planetary Governors.
Although within the Alliance’s administrative system, the so-called position of Planetary Governor is not akin to a traditional planet’s sovereign but is just a ’circulating official’ within the system, however, it still represents the highest administrative leader of an entire planet.
Positions such as caravan members or leaders of large cross-regional state-owned enterprises...
Members of the Kafiora family filled their plates generously.
In the end, be it family or interest group, it is still a collective of ’people’. People form groups to pursue personal interests. When a group’s interests are highly unified with individuals’ interests, that’s when the collective has the most cohesion. And now, the benefit the Alliance brings is that by disbanding the interest group, every member within it will gain even greater benefits.
This way, the resistance to dismantling the entire interest group greatly reduces.
However, the problem also exists: Where does the benefit come from?
Here, it involves two parts:
First, it comes from those disobedient, rebellious nobles, families, and interest groups.
There will always be those muddle-headed ones who choose rebellion. When their collectives are violently dismantled and rapidly suppressed, the vacant positions they leave become a nice piece of cake.
In fact, you don’t even need to completely eliminate them.
Dog-eat-dog is also a good method.
Some families agree on the surface, then practice deceit later. Those caught with evidence are directly dealt with harshly; those not caught but still suspicious are handled by assigning personnel from ’obedient’ families, putting them in charge, directly overseeing their work.
The effect is quite significant.
These converts to the Alliance don’t hold back. Moreover, they understand well the traditional nobility’s various cunning strategies on Holy Terra, conducting targeted strikes with remarkable results!
However, the above part is only about cake distribution.
Relying solely on distribution is not enough to satisfy those whose families have been scattered.
To satisfy them, and to offer so many good positions and high ranks, relying solely on devouring the remains of flattened families is still insufficient. This inevitably encroaches upon and affects the Alliance’s original promotion system.
Unless the cake is made bigger.
This is precisely the purpose of this action.
Not to mention expanding territories, just within Holy Terra, when the various core industries of various nest capitals are entirely controlled by the Alliance, enormous production potential is unleashed!
No more shirking work due to profit issues, no more subcontracting layer by layer, no more exploitation.
Industries began to integrate, efficiency improved, and production capacity was unleashed.
In the following years, Holy Terra’s overall economy began to grow at a faster pace!
And all this contributes to greater support for His Highness the Regent King’s cherished unyielding expedition.
Despite being dissatisfied with the overall organization plan of the expeditionary force, which was delayed by two years before completion, he had to admit the cost during these two years was completely worthwhile. The expeditionary force will have a stronger backing, and future support from Holy Terra for the unyielding expedition will be more robust.
The time saved in future expeditions may far exceed the two years expended up front.
And now, the great unyielding expedition, as the important other part of the Empire’s expedition, formally begins.
...
In fact, the precursor to the unyielding expedition began even when Holy Terra was not entirely pacified. Part of the expeditionary fleet brought by Robert, mixed with part of the Solar Fleet, formed an advance fleet, left Holy Terra, heading towards other areas of the Sun Star Domain, once again ’expanding territories’.
However, progress was slow.
On one hand, the troops were insufficient, and on the other, during the previous chaos corruption, problems were not limited to Holy Terra alone.
Holy Terra was too important, capturing everyone’s attention. But outside that attention, other worlds in the Sun Star Domain each had their own problems, some even quite significant.
And these worlds within the Sun Star Domain, although all can be considered as core territories of the Human Empire, all guarded with heavy troops, still a considerable number of worlds were completely overrun.
With only the advance fleet’s force, even with many interstellar warriors onboard, even Robert persuaded Marshal Yan Xinzhen to dispatch some Imperial Guard units to participate in the action, but in reality, the best they achieved was preventing the situation from further deteriorating.
During the fifteen-year Terra War period; ensuing five-year reconstruction period and expeditionary force formation period, fewer than two hundred worlds in the entire Sun Star Domain were fully reclaimed and under the New Empire Central Government’s complete control.
While the entire Sun Star Domain contains eight hundred worlds.
After the unyielding expedition’s army was formed, the first goal was to reclaim the entire Sun Star Domain with comparable force to two and a half dark side expedition armies.
This step was achieved within two years, supported by massive military force.
Subsequently, they followed the original plan, dividing into three directions—the North Field Army of the unyielding expedition, the West Field Army, and the South Field Army.
In the tenth year after the formal start of the unyielding expedition, the South Field Army was the first to complete their task: successfully meeting up with the Alliance’s West Field Army, and reorganizing into a larger-scale Southwest Field Army, advancing along the Scarlet Scar continuously towards the Empire’s southwest.
In the twenty-fifth year after the beginning of the unyielding expedition, the North Field Army completed their task as well, meeting the forces moving southward from the Infinite Starfield, forming the expedition’s North Field Army, with the goal of reclaiming the entire Imperial North Border.
The West Field Army was relatively difficult, but at least they captured the entire Cosmos Domain and entered the western Anyang Cosmic Domain.
At this point, in the Empire’s Holy Territory during the twenty-five years of the unyielding expedition, six domains, accounting for a quarter of the Empire’s Holy Territory, have been generally reclaimed.
Counting on the dark side expedition, over these twenty-five years, all thirteen domains of the Imperial Eastern Frontier have been fully recovered.
The South Field Army reached the two domains divided in the Scarlet Scar Dark Side of the Central Starfield and conquered them.
The Angel Expedition Army led by Dante, the East Field Army, has fully entered the Imperial Southern Border.
Adding the two sides together, the New Empire currently controls twenty-one star domains.
This constitutes half of the Empire’s entire territory.
What’s more crucial is that currently, the Empire’s expedition has six field armies executing expedition missions, thriving like a snowball rolling along, growing larger, more majestic, and increasingly unstoppable.
Moreover, the good news doesn’t just stop here.
To date, the Scarlet Scar has appeared for nearly one hundred and fifty years.
This immense scar representing deep disaster now visibly shows a trend of fading.
