Starting from the Planetary Governor

```

With this latest development, Gu Hang had spent all of his grace points, leaving only 62 behind.

But all the tasks had already been arranged, and Gu Hang needed some time to patiently wait for the fruits to ripen.

In the following two months, Gu Hang did not make any major moves, yet within the territories he controlled, there were still significant changes.

The first major event was that the war in the Central Province had finally almost completely subsided.

Under Yan Fangxu's command, the Central Group Army annihilated the main force of the Anti-Governor Alliance Army and in a little over half a month swept through the entire Central Province, a land of one million square kilometers, bringing two million people under the full control of the Alliance.

As for the leaders of the so-called Anti-Governor Alliance Army and the heads of many large settlements, those who surrendered were let be, as long as they hadn't committed war crimes; they were given a comfortable position to enjoy by the government department led by Osenia.

A small number who were actually competent were considered for continuing to manage the settlements, becoming bureaucrats, retained if they performed well, or dismissed if not.

But for the hardliners, those who surrendered at the very last moment, and those who had committed egregious crimes, there was no room for discussion.

Lambert Hodgson, as the Alliance Chief Justice, once again made a 'show' of himself by holding a trial and sentencing over three hundred people to death and thousands more to forced labor ranging from three to ten years.

Of course, it was no longer like when Gu Hang had just taken control of Revival City; there was no need for too much bloodshed, so there was no form of public execution at the scene. They were simply taken to a shooting range and shot.

Yan Fangxu seemed somewhat regretful about this. He had initially planned to have a triumphal ceremony to present the prisoners to the governor, but it was rejected.

As the governor himself put it, did such riff-raff even deserve such treatment?

Encountering disappointment, Yan Fangxu was left somewhat embarrassed. However, after commanding the Group Army in this operation and securing at least a satisfactory record, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general as a consolation.

However, despite Gu Hang's apparent disdain for the insurgent leaders, the pacification of the Central Province was still of significant importance:

The total population of the Alliance broke through the five million threshold, with the largest contribution coming from the largest and most populous Central Province among the three planned provinces. With this province pacified, it meant that two million people were added to the Alliance.

The population policy of the Alliance was consistently implemented. Resources were available, industries were preserved, and larger settlements were maintained and supported for development; the rest were downsized, with their populations integrated into Revival City and Weixing City to enhance the population scale effect and meet the labor demands for concentrated industrial development.

With the population growth and more aggressive laying out of production lines, the resource issues had improved in the Weixing City industrial area, and industrial production efficiency had further increased.

The production of the RN series trucks had risen to a level of a thousand per month. The production of the Strider Series Armored Vehicle also reached ninety per month.

The Iron Bull trucks' output over these two months, excluding the foreign trade portion, replenished the military.

The 2nd Division, which had been reorganized from an independent regiment to the 3rd Beast-slaying Brigade, had completed a full motorization overhaul, and two new divisions, the 11th and 12th, were formed following the 2nd Division's standards.

A motorized infantry division's full complement was over nine thousand men, capable of fully motorized marches. With three thousand more than a garrison division, these divisions had greater mobility and more artillery, doubling the overall firepower.

These two divisions were incorporated into the Central Group Army, under the command of Yan Fangxu. At the same time, the 7th and 8th Divisions were detached. They were to be stationed in various locations in the Central Province to clamp down on the local area.

Meanwhile, the Central Group Army, newly reinforced with the 11th and 12th Divisions, together with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades, moved southward, advancing to the border between the Central Province and the Green Valley Region.

The Green Valley Region was the next main military target for the Alliance.

More units were planned beyond the 11th and 12th Divisions, including the 10th Special Warfare Brigade, the 13th Mechanical Composite Brigade, and the 14th Motorized Infantry Division.

The 14th Motorized Infantry Division followed the same specifications as the 2nd, 11th, and 12th Divisions; the 10th Special Warfare Brigade was a special unit, which Gu Hang planned to establish around the surviving elite soldiers from the dozens of Storm Squads, forming a special forces squad for special operations, behind-the-lines missions, and targeted strikes.

For the moment, however, it was still just a framework, as the cost of training elite soldiers was quite high, although equipment was no longer an issue—thanks to the LR5 Series Laser Guns, he had the capital to put together an elite special operations team.

In the future, aside from the Phoenix Battle Group, Gu Hang would still need a sufficient number of elite troops to carry out special missions.

As for the 13th Mechanical Composite Brigade, it was similar to the 1st Extinguishing Wind Brigade, but since there were no more tanks, they had replaced the tank companies in the various Composite Camps with mechanized infantry companies.

In general, aside from the lack of combat experience, the combat strength of the 13th Brigade would not differ much from that of the 1st Brigade.

For the 13th and 14th Brigades, they actually had enough personnel. Currently, in the new recruit training base outside of Revival City, there were almost thirty thousand new recruits just waiting for the equipment to arrive so they could be formed into new units.
