Chapter 1602 The Difficulty of Expedition
"......Soshyan's commander, this is a crown, a flag, and a commanding sword given by the High Lords' Council. I personally recommend that the handover meeting be held at the oath-taking meeting."
What the messenger was saying was Soshiyan no longer cared about, and he didn't even read the tokens representing supreme glory. He now had three words in his mind.
Why?
Why!
Why did Terra suddenly come out? And it was at this time!
"Captain of Soshiyang?"
The messenger who was still holding the letter of appointment did not even respond. He was a little embarrassed for a moment. Then Laisand came over and whispered to Soshiyan:
"I know you're confused now, we're all the same, but the appointment has come down and it's impossible to change it."
Soshiyang was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, took the letter of appointment helplessly, and then turned around and handed it to Ustad, who was also very shocked behind him.
Not only Ustad, but also the company commander Maximilian and others who followed Soshyan were stunned.
Soshiyan then arranged for the mission to stay at the official residence, but before leaving, the messenger reminded Soshiyan that the High Lord's Council required him and the Alliance of Suffering to take office as a oath to the Lord of Sagan before the standard Terra to take office and launch an expedition.
But the more this happens, the more confused and annoyed Soshiyan becomes!
Because this first means one thing, their plan to attack Huron was completely bankrupt. In order to organize the expeditionary force, Terra must have begun to mobilize the troops around the Great Vortex. This appointment had already reached the Great Vortex. Huron probably knew that someone was coming to attack him, and it was him.
The original plan has completely become waste paper, but Soshiyang doesn't know how to take the next step.
The lords are completely making trouble!
"make trouble!"
In the welcome hall of the monastery fortress, after he greeted Laisand with the company commanders and the White Church, Soshyan immediately informed everyone of the appointment he received, but Arash cursed him very directly.
"Is there something wrong with the high lords' mind? Even if they want to go to the Great Vortex, why would they transfer us who are far away in the Storm Star Domain? Is there no Astart Warriors in the Extreme Star Domain? If there are no more, are there any Extreme Warriors?"
His words were also recognized by many warriors. Laisander had never seen the new White Holy Temple commander. In fact, he was not familiar with his ex-Landor. After all, the White Holy Temple was too low-key. However, when he learned that Landoal was assassinated by the Red Pirates, he was also very angry and expressed his intention to report the matter to the mountain formation.
Of course, Leshande also knew about Soshiyan's plan to attack Huron for the second surprise, and even more understood his shock and anger.
“About this…”
As soon as Laishande opened his mouth, everyone shut up. After all, Empire Fist is a startup group, so this little face is still to be given.
And as a battle group stationed in Terra, they must know better the interior.
"The Pew War Commander went to the palace to question the High Lords' Council as soon as he learned of this appointment. When the High Lords gave the reply, the battle groups around the Great Vortex were at their limit to defend against Huron's raid and plunder. It was impossible to carry out large-scale mobilization. If you want to expedition, you can only mobilize troops from the non-war zone. In addition,... Ahem, Soshyan, you have defeated Huron and Abaddon in succession. You are the leader of the Empire's best record against Chaos Heresy. It is reasonable for you to serve as the leader."
Soshiyang couldn't say anything for a moment, because the high lords were indeed right.
but--
"But I am young after all, and there are obviously so many respected elders who are equally outstanding in military achievements."
"Ah, Pew said that, but the lords said that Makarius was not old when he was expedition."
"Tsk, I've finished speaking to them."
"Yes, so Pew had no choice in the end, so he sent me here. In addition to escorting the messenger, the second task is to assist you in this expedition. For this reason, I also brought a special company composed of the first and second companies to draw people."
Soshiyang held the other party's right hand with both hands excitedly.
"Thank you very much for your support and the commander of Vladimir!"
"In addition to us, Pew also sent aid signals to several other sub-groups. At present, the Tianshi Group has responded. They will go to the Great Vortex area to join the expedition, and the Black Temple may also send a force."
Soshiyan was really moved this time. After all, the future of the expedition is uncertain, and the one who is willing to respond to the call spontaneously is definitely the brother among the brothers.
Laishande patted Soshiyang on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"For thousands of years, people have almost forgotten that Dorn's descendants are the most determined guardian of the empire. Expeditions are challenges and opportunities. I believe that no Dorn's descendants will ignore them."
Although Soshiyang's nervous mood was slightly relieved with the support of the Empire Fist, the reality was still serious.
He took out two official documents handed to him along with the appointment letter, one from the Ministry of Military Affairs, which clearly stated that this expedition is expected to require 1 billion to 1.5 billion troops, but because there are currently tensions everywhere, the military affairs department can transfer only about 300 million Star Army, mainly from Kadian, Krieg, Valhalla, Modian, Hamigidon and Taran.
The remaining troops need Soshiyang to go to the Great Vortex area to organize local garrisons or "recruit on the spot" - however, Soshiyang, the lord commander, doesn't even know how many local garrisons are now.
As for the fleet, the navy's official documents are relatively simple. Due to the special location of the Great Vortex Area, this expedition will draw a fleet from the Storm Star Domain, the Sun Star Domain and the Extreme Star Domain. At the same time, the local garrison fleet of the Great Vortex will also be allocated by Soshiyang. However, these fleets must be used most of the time to prevent the Red Pirates' external plundering activities, and not many can be used.
The three fleets need to be fully assembled, and the time given by the Navy is 1-3 years, and it also depends on whether the subspace channel is stable.
As for the strength of these three fleets, it was not mentioned in the official document, but Soshiyang felt that it would be better not to have too high expectations and not to perfunctory the entire destroyer formation.
The only good news is that several casting worlds around him will provide him with ordnance and supplies, but whether he can arm so many people is still unknown. In addition, since the supply line in the Great Vortex Area has long been destroyed and riddled with holes, the Ministry of Military Affairs is very friendly to "remind" Soshiyang, it is best to replenish supplies on site, rather than relying on the supply fleet sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs from a distant place.
I have to say that these miscellaneous people are aware of their abilities.
It means that Soshiyang is still a bare commander now, and he took office with a piece of paper.
If any high lord stood in front of him, Soshiyan would not hesitate to stuff the letter of commission into his asshole.
Everyone present also read the official documents, but none of them were satisfied.
"This is too much!"
Ustad frowned while looking at Gongwen.
Chapter completed!
