Fei nominate Gu Hang to become the Cosmic Domain Chair of the Spiderweb Domain, he hadn’t reacted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrendered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he realized that was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei had other plans in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Galaraldo didn’t rush to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone would speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, a High Lord raised a question: “The matter of the Alliance hasn’t been resolved, and now you propose Gu Hang to govern the Spiderweb Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has the Executive Council considered this appropriately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all, in fact, we’ve been deliberating on this for a long time.” Luo Fei appeared quite confident and assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he presented his ideas to the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing away the decorative and insignificant long-winded statements, the key point was Gu Hang taking over the position of Cosmic Domain Chair of the Spiderweb Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Hang performed exceptionally in the last war and was the greatest hero of the war, a fact that could not be erased by anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, achievements must be rewarded, and naturally, he needs to be promoted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t Gu Hang’s primary official title the Dragonhawk Star Domain Leader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he directly steps up, rising to the position of Cosmic Domain Chair, becoming a governor of regions, governing the Spiderweb Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Spiderweb Domain happens to need a political strongman to lead the thousands of worlds through post-war crises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t Gu Hang suitable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Alliance, which has been under discussion for a while, Luo Fei did not mention it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the current intention was already very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding these two issues, there is no related regulation within the Empire’s rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no rule that says someone who leads a unified political entity cannot assume the position of Cosmic Domain Chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, within the Empire, there are actually a few Cosmic Domain Chairs under similar circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the political entities they command typically consist of only a few planets, several dozens of planets, formed into a military, economic, and political integration, usually located in the core areas controlled by the Space Domain Government, so that the Space Domain Government can manage a core area, wield core power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Hang, at such a scale, definitely does not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what of it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s precedent, others have done it before, the Empire has no stipulations, so why can’t Gu Hang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it just a tiny bit larger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Galaraldo couldn’t bring himself to say this openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he silently shrank back, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to first observe the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the present situation was already somewhat clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei was advancing by withdrawing, throwing out the idea of a Cosmic Domain Chair as a strategic retreat, letting people thoughtfully consider what kind of might Cosmic Domain Chair plus the Alliance would possess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much power would Gu Hang wield?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Alliance and Cosmic Domain Chair, would Gu Hang push the already troublesome Alliance further?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expand it to encompass the entire Spiderweb Domain, thus becoming a gigantic, powerful, politically and economically advanced political entity from military to political aspects?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s quite possible indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Xu Fuzhen, who had always been greedy for the substantial tax revenue the Alliance could provide, hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desire for money is one thing, but a simple Alliance exists as it does, after all, it’s just five Star Domains; after all, the Alliance has existed for several decades, and Gu Hang’s attitude towards the Central Empire has always been relatively obedient…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, regardless of the situation, the combination of Cosmic Domain Chair and Alliance leadership was still overly extravagant, the powers too vast, and internally it could form a power loop, virtually unregulated from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fuzhen also remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staunch supporter of Gu Hang fell silent, a supporter greedy for the Alliance’s money fell silent, the situation tended to become one-sided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need for Luo Fei to say anything more, rather, those High Lords with no relevant interests cautiously spoke one by one, expressing that Luo Fei’s proposal was unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei, being rebuffed, was not angry but instead smiled cheerfully, explaining one by one, agreeing with the views of the dissenters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, he proposed, whether to dissolve the Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, wouldn’t it be a win-win situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Hang gets promoted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult for a typical Star Domain Leader to advance to the position of Cosmic Domain Chair, with numerous hurdles in between, each hurdle potentially causing a politician to spend their entire life in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, let Old Gu step over at once, and do not let his wartime achievements go unappreciated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alliance is dissolved, letting the lords on Holy Terra be reassured without facing a new ironclad entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Luo Fei, once Gu Hang became Cosmic Domain Chair, he entered the Executive Council’s appointment system overnight, transforming from a political adversary to “one of us,” potentially even becoming a friend in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in Galaraldo’s mind, this was a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were it not known that Gu Hang absolutely would not want to abandon the Alliance for the position of Cosmic Domain Chair, he would vote in favor himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it a win-win situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I disagree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, someone stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I disagree with dissolving the Alliance.” The speaker was Xu Fuzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Minister of Taxation, with a cold face, tossed out a document, ignoring all other High Lords, her gaze fixed solely on Qi Bodu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reported in a detached tone, saying: “By preserving the Alliance, we harvest not only the current 300 billion a year but also a future income of 1.3 trillion annually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, through the Executive Council’s appointment system, we instead need to exempt the Star Domains within the Alliance, including the entire Spiderweb Domain, from taxes for ten or even twenty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need to support a military to manage and suppress; we need to annually invest more than 300 billion to rebuild the Spiderweb Domain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Specific datasets can be found in the files; I just want to inform everyone, taking ten years as measurement, the comprehensive income and expenditure gap will reach 20 trillion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This financial gap cannot be remedied by the Department of Taxation from any other source.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In other words, whether Gu Hang takes the position of Cosmic Domain Chair and whether the Alliance remains preserved, I don’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m merely telling everyone this one fact, if Prime Minister Luo Fei’s proposal comes true, then Solaria’s current annual investment of 700 billion must be halved…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Luo Fei’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solaria’s dozen Star Domains, tens of thousands of planets, are appointed by the Executive Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This territory from the Sun Expedition has always been the greatest increment of power from the Executive Council through the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fuzhen ignored him and continued, saying: “All reconstruction investments for the Starfighter Battle Group will be halted entirely; the Navy’s plan to rebuild and supplement the Solar Fleet needs a thorough re-examination; the Tribunal’s budgetary allocation must reduce, it can’t support punishment on planet after planet; Holy Terra’s production orders to Mars need reduction…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued to name several places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A point advised, silently none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hence, my suggestion is not only shouldn’t the Alliance be dissolved, but why can’t the Spiderweb Domain be given to Gu Hang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s all possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as long as Gu Hang pays!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-05T14:29:31.978Z",1,"novelbin.me","121bc75107076fd1650d8bd809bf8ba28fc3a480d08f88f73b914c2c3495d3e2","starting-from-the-planetary-governor-chapter-1259","starting-from-the-planetary-governor-chapter-1257",1694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-the-planetary-governor-cover.jpg"]
