Chapter 487, only you, my friend

Outside the Terra Palace, Gu Hang saw two famous imperial armies.

The Golden Knights Chapter, and the Emperor's Custodes.

The former is one of the original Space Marine Legions, a founding Chapter. Countless Chapters that branched off from the Seventh Legion all regard the 'Golden Knights' as their parent Chapter.

The Golden Knights Chapter is stationed on Holy Terra and is the only Space Marine Chapter that can recruit troops from Terra.

In addition to Terra, they also have a home planet - Duang Star, which can recruit troops; and a chartered recruitment world: Lomond, which is a hive world with a population of 200 billion.

Gu Hang sometimes complains, does your war group need so many recruiting worlds? The combined population of these three worlds is much greater than that of one star field.

Could it be that the rumor, which was strongly denied by the Golden Knights, that they would recruit a large number of new recruits called "super beings" is true?
There are also rumors that the Golden Knights will send 'inexhaustible' elite recruits to some of their sub-regiments, such as the famous Black Cross Legion, and Gu Hang suspects that this is true.

Outside the Terra Palace, Gu Hang could no longer fly the original aircraft and had to replace the aircraft inside the palace. This step was supervised by the Space Marines of the Golden Knights and the Terran Defense Force.

Then, after changing into the Terra Palace's exclusive aircraft, Gu Hang entered the palace through the high walls towering on the plateau and one of the countless palace gates. He then saw the authentic imperial guards.

"It's been more than a decade, and you really haven't changed at all!" Gallardo's attitude seemed very intimate.

Of course, there was no problem with his identity, but as a psyker who was identified as a Class A in the declaration, he was a subject that needed to be strictly restricted, so he was ordered to wear a hand made of some kind of black stone. ring.

Gu Hang felt a little insecure, but he still wore the bracelet and followed a Terra official into the depths of the palace.

But none of these things happened.

But soon, he calmed down again.

Gu Hang felt that the psychic seeds he had planted in this former war apostle and now the executive director of the Ministry of Military Affairs had disappeared.

To be honest, this made Gu Hang's heart tremble.

If these two Imperial Guards really fought, Gu Hang felt that he could deal with them, but it would be far more difficult than dealing with the Space Marines.

He is worthy of being the ceiling among the Empire's super soldiers, a creation made by the Emperor himself, the template of 'perfect humanity'.

This thing strongly suppressed Gu Hang's psychic power.

The Imperial Palace of Terra is the core of the current empire's government. As a senior official in the center of the empire, Gallardo has his office and residence here. The latter comes with the official position.

Gallardo's attitude didn't seem to be hypocritical, nor did it look like it did after the psychic seeds that changed his mind were discovered.

He finally met Gallardo.

This is not enough to prevent Gu Hang from using his psychic powers, but it can make him feel threatened.

As soon as they met, Gallardo gave Gu Hang a big hug.

With Gallardo's character, if he knew that his gratitude to Gu Hang for saving his life and the subsequent closeness were all fake and Gu Hang's tricks, then based on his fundamental relationship with tolerance, It's impossible to endure such an incompatible personality for such a long time without having an attack. He had already started to cause trouble for Gu Hang and tried to find ways to kill him.

Gu Hang accepted the review honestly and handed over his personal documents.

He estimated for himself that under normal circumstances, he wouldn't even be able to break free of the bracelet with his own strength, and his spiritual power would be suppressed to a very low level. And if he goes all out to tear open the subspace rift and let the power of the Kingdom of Storms come, he can destroy this bracelet. However, if you do this in the Terra Palace, Chun Chun is looking for death. A bracelet can have such a strong psychic suppression effect, so there must be many psychic suppression methods that are much stronger than bracelets in this palace.

Gu Hang believed that the things on these two imperial guards were not purely decorative. He could feel a force that made him quite uncomfortable, and the surrounding psychic activity was suppressed.

It's also possible that Gallardo was acting on the occasion, pretending to be intimate. But on the one hand it doesn't look like it, on the other hand it's unnecessary.

They wore golden armor and were taller than any space warrior Gu Hang had ever seen. The patterns on the armor were horribly complex and inlaid with precious stones. On top of its long helmet, a bunch of red tassels fluttered proudly. Combined with the bright red armor hem and cape, the overall golden-red color scheme made it appear noble and extremely tyrannical.

Gu Hang was quite confident in his original methods. Not only is his method secretive and subtle, but most importantly, what he does is also very small and difficult to detect.

Gu Hang also judged the current situation: it was because the psychic seeds had been completely digested. Gallardo's 'feelings' for him now were sincere and came from his heart. There is no need to worry about checking it no matter how hard it is, because the influence of psychic energy has completely disappeared.

This was a benefit. Gu Hang didn't need to worry about his manipulation of Gallardo's brain coming to light.

But there is also a disadvantage. The favorability level is no longer locked, which means that if Gu Hang offends Gallardo with a certain word or action, then the former war apostle's feelings towards him will become bad and even hostile. .

Overall, Gu Hang believes that the advantages of this matter far outweigh the disadvantages.

A potentially annihilating crisis no longer exists.

As for not locking the favor, that doesn't matter - at least there is no loss. Moreover, the current starting 'favorability level' is almost full. Gu Hang himself is not a manipulative person, so it is not easy to ruin the relationship between the two.

What's more, they still have quite consistent interests.

After the initial greetings, the dinner that day was a banquet arranged by Gallardo.

He found a restaurant in the palace dedicated to serving senior officials, and officials from all walks of life accepted his invitation.

Gallardo took Gu Hang and got to know many people one by one.

These people are spread across all departments of the imperial government. The Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Government, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Taxation... In addition to these government departments, there are also several senior generals of the Astra Militarum, the Imperial Navy, and even senior clergy of the Ecclesiarchy and the Mechanicus.

Of course, those who can be introduced by Gallardo personally will not be small roles. They are at least high-level committee members of various ministries, including several central deputy ministers. Among them, the highest-status participant was a deputy prime minister from the Imperial Taxation Department.

Gu Hang did have some admiration for Gallardo. I used to think that this guy was just a master who made money everywhere by relying on his name as Lord of the Sun. But now it seems that without the Sun Lord, for him, it seems that the seal has been lifted, and another side of him that is good at dancing has been revealed.

It's not easy to make so many 'friends'.

Gu Hang's network of contacts was suddenly broadened a lot.

Of course, these people would not easily become Gu Hang's friends just because of an introduction. But at least they got to know each other and exchanged contact information. When Gu Hang needed something, he at least knew who to call, and he wouldn't be ignored when he came to his door.

Asking someone for help may not be appropriate, but if there are some opportunities to exchange interests and allow both parties to benefit, there shouldn't be any big problems.

In short, it is always beneficial to be familiar with each other.

These high-ranking figures from various departments and forces in the empire also had a pretty good attitude towards Gu Hang. Of course Gallardo was the main reason, but as for Gu Hang himself, there were also many people who were quite interested in him and chatted a lot with him cordially.

"You can really get in touch with these people more. They are all people who need the support of local powerful groups. If you have any ideas, you can communicate more with these people and exchange some things with each other."

At the end of the banquet, Gallardo and Gu Hang were chatting on a terrace. The executive director of the Ministry of Military Affairs whispered to Gu Hang about the situation of the people he had just talked about. "And the deputy minister of taxation, he is our true friend."

Gu Hang smiled and said, "I thought everyone in the hall were your friends."

"Hahaha!" Gallardo said with a big smile, but his tone was unconsciously filled with contempt: "How is that possible? The only person here who deserves the word 'friend' is you. ah."

"In my mind, people are divided into levels."

"The largest number of people in the venue are all from the lowest level. Most of them are mediocre people. They have neither outstanding abilities nor firm will. Their greatest value is their position. This These people are just minions and can only play a powerful role. We rely on them at critical moments. That is not their fault, but our fault. "

"The few truly capable people are just using each other. You can trust them when there are benefits, but you must always be vigilant. In the cruel fame and fortune fair of Holy Terra, betrayal and bribery are always present."

"The few at least can be regarded as 'associates'. They are trustworthy, capable, have deeply bound interests, and have a certain emotional foundation. Such people can be relied on. But they are not friends and cannot be trusted with life."

"Only you, my friend, I will always remember that you saved my life and gave me the opportunity to quickly return to the center of power. I can trust you with my life and never worry about your betrayal. "

After hearing these words, even Gu Hang was a little moved.

He said seriously to Gallardo: "Me too."

Gallardo patted Gu Hang on the shoulder, exchanged a drink with him with a smile, and continued: "Don't be so serious, today is not a serious occasion. However, there will be a smaller one later. The party will have to be more serious when the time comes, and we will talk about some big things, really big things.”

"Yeah." Gu Hang drank all the wine in the cup.

……

A little later, Gu Hang was sitting in a small lounge in the banquet hall.

Gallardo, who had gone out to work for a while before leaving him, came back again.

"Let's go." He shouted.

Gu Hang stood up and saw Gallardo walking to a bookshelf wall in the lounge, knocking on a certain place twice, and a combination lock popped up. After he input for a moment, the carpet in front of Gu Hang was automatically lifted, and a secret passage appeared.

Gallardo took the lead, followed closely by Gu Hang.

At the end of the stairs that turned downwards, there was actually a small underground rail car.

Riding in it, in the deep underground of the palace, winding and twisting through many complicated intersections, we arrived somewhere.

After leaving the rail car, Gu Hang was taken into a dark conference hall.

Several people are already sitting here.

Some of them attended the banquet just now, and some did not. Gallardo enthusiastically pulled Gu Hang and introduced to everyone:
"This is our new member! Gu Hang from the Eastern Universe and Dragon Eagle Star Region. The alliance he controls is a real local power faction."

Everyone looked at Gu Hang, full of scrutiny.

No one spoke, but Gu Hang could see some doubts in the eyes of some people.

Local powerhouse? Just half of the star field.

How many battleships do you have and how many battleships are there?

Gu Hang didn't speak, just sat down with a smile.

Gallardo spoke up: "Everyone, everyone, please note that the person sitting in front of you, twenty years ago, entered a world abandoned by the empire with only one entourage, and started from scratch. Twenty years ago time, it can now have influence on 182 worlds.”

"He eliminated the rebels on the planet, destroyed the plague demon that was about to destroy a hive world, and won an orc war with a scale of hundreds of billions."

"The star sector he controls now has one battleship and a dozen Lunar-class cruisers as the main fleet; there is a Space Marine Chapter that has returned to its peak state to fight alongside him; his army is larger than the average Star World The army needs to be even stronger.”

"You may have been living in the center for a long time and don't know the local situation. However, I can guarantee with my sunshine of walking around the empire for decades that Gu Hang and his alliance are definitely a truly powerful group that we can rely on. He is now He already has a power that no one can ignore, and under his wise leadership, his power will surely grow rapidly.”

"And we are the best helpers and investors. There is no doubt that Gu Hang is qualified to be one of us. The investment now will definitely bring us huge returns in the future."

"Don't you envy the 'Otaupis' battle group that the Prime Minister can easily mobilize? Don't you envy that each family has local forces that are closely related to it? I know, we have the same, but who would dislike one more card? Where’s the trump card?”

Gallardo was an eloquent man.

After those words, the eyes of everyone present looked different when they looked at Gu Hang again.

At this moment, two more people walked in from another entrance of the conference hall.

The leader smiled and applauded and said: "Bogeois is right. You are very welcome, Governor Gu. With your joining, our future will become brighter!"

As he spoke, everyone in the room stood up.

Of course Gu Hang also stood up.

He had met one of these two people before. The person following behind the leader was none other than the highest-status person at the previous banquet, Deputy Prime Minister of the Department of Taxation Tang Mili.

As for the leader, although Gu Hang has never seen him in person, he can often be seen in other places.

He is one of the thirteen high lords of the Imperial Parliament and the Prime Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Justice: Ou Kyren.

Thanks to [Hu Yifan], the leader of the boss, for the reward! ! !

Many thanks!

But... the amount I owe has skyrocketed from 50k to 70k, and the more I pay, the more I pay... T0T
The boss also said that there is a Silver Alliance at this time, but I have never had a Silver Alliance in my life.

But...wouldn't that mean I would have to owe 200k???

I'm afraid that by the time I finish writing this book, I won't be able to repay my debt to the boss...

Will update it tomorrow! Try your best to reduce your current debts first!
