Chapter 1695 Strategic Controversy
"Now Soshiyan has divided the front line into six war zones, and tens of millions of troops are placed in front of us. Although it is quite a big deal, it is a bit too naive."
As soon as Huron finished speaking, Gan Martin of the Blood Snake Demon suddenly spoke:
"Blackhearted King, I am a straightforward, so I can say something straight. The best fighter is actually a year ago. Before the pseudo-Imperial Expeditionary Force was assembled, it should concentrate all its efforts on launching a surprise attack on their gathering place. Even if it had to pay a certain price, instead of waiting until now to deal with it, it was a bit late. The enemy had gathered enough superior sea and land forces. In this case, the situation was set on the stance and fought head-on with the empire, and Abaddon did not dare to do this."
Huron didn't expect anyone to pour cold water at the beginning, but more than 2,000 disciplined Chaos Space Marines and millions of servants under Gan Martin were considered a considerable force, and he was not easy to attack for a while.
In fact, he knew that Gan Martin was right, but he also had his own difficulties and could not tell outsiders-
The several waves of messengers who he sent to Galmek were all sacrificed by the other party and sent their heads back, which was enough to show the attitude of the bastards. They clearly wanted to see their own good shows and wait for the opportunity to revenge their grudges.
Logically speaking, their strength is not impossible to solve, but Huron really cannot get the attitude of the Word Bearer Legion and the Demon Primrose that was said to have not appeared again after the Great Rebellion. If the other party is angry, then Huron will not face the few thousand Word Bearer Galmek.
He also sent an envoy to the Word Bearer Legion's current mother star, Sikaros, who wanted to reach a reconciliation between the two sides, but all the people sent were heard from him, and he could not see anyone alive or die or die. Sikaros did not respond at all, which made him angry, hated and helpless.
It was precisely because of the big threat behind him that Huron was reluctant to make a decision, and he did not dare to rashly take out all his assets across the entire vortex to go to the Sagan Galaxy to fight Soshyan and the Imperial Expeditionary Force to the death, just to make some war preparations as much as possible.
It was not until a few days ago that Amunus Valtex was able to control the thing sent by Abaddon that Huron had a solution, which was to deploy that thing to the area between Galmek and Neo-Badab, and rely on the powerful power of that thing to intimidate the miscellaneous people who worship God every day.
"I'm afraid Ersad's words are too serious."
The war lord Fabricio Caccatole suddenly made a low voice. He was originally a sergeant of the White Consort. After the destruction of the battle monastery, he finally surrendered to the Red Pirates for some reason, and became one of Huron's most trusted "four masts" and the only non-star claw member among the four masts. He commanded the 5,000 most elite members of the Red Pirates headquarters.
"The Empire seems to have a large number of troops, but most of them are ordinary soldiers. According to information, the number of spacemarines in the Empire's expeditionary force is now between 6,000 and 4,000."
"Even if there are many mortals..."
Dmitrius suddenly let out a feminine laugh.
"It's just pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered on the battlefield. The more the empire sent, the more abundant our slave decks will be. This is a good thing."
Gan Martin glanced at the other party with a sideways. He hated the believers of Sexy the most in his life, so he sarcastically said:
"Every guy who thinks so will die in the end. Only the third-rate commander will despise the enemy."
Oneus immediately interrupted the possible quarrel between the two.
"I did not underestimate the army of the pseudo-emperor, but the shortcomings of the mortal troops were obvious. They were very slow to mobilize, and their actions were relatively slow and their tactics were relatively rigid."
Ganmartin nodded.
"I agree with this, and ordinary soldiers need more logistics and a wider front of the battlefield, which means that their ability to choose a battlefield is very weak, which is why I am willing to come. Our biggest advantage is that we have many space Marines, who can deploy and operate very flexibly."
As he said that, he pointed to the map and expressed his opinion.
"Since we have occupied the Korcreya galaxy, I personally suggest that to abandon the Badabu sector, we can see that Soshiyan has arranged four war zones around that area, tens of millions of star-bound troops, and it is clear that we are going to fight us there. If we go, we will fall into the trap. Even if we don't fail, we will be trapped in the quagmire of attrition. The empire can afford it, the black heart king, can your strategic reserve energy be consumed?"
Huron frowned slightly, did not answer the question, and instead asked.
"What after?"
"After shrinking the defense line, we can use our advantages to penetrate into the gaps of the imperial defense line from several directions in a mode of infiltration by small fleets and small troops, and attack the opponent's logistics nodes. At the same time, the main force set out from the Korcreya Galaxy and raided the pale planets for a long distance, which was the farthest from other war zones, and the empire was the most difficult to rescue. We concentrated our superior forces to quickly eliminate a war zone in Soshiyan, and retreated immediately after we succeeded. Taking advantage of our short defense line, we turned to attack the rich galaxy. This also mobilized the imperial troops back and forth to exhaust and weaken them. We didn't need to care about where to occupy, but we just needed to eliminate the empire's mobile power as much as possible, especially Astart. As long as there was not enough Astart, the empire's starry army would lose strategic support and basically could only stick to the planet. At that time, the initiative on the battlefield was completely on our side."
After listening to it, Huron felt it made sense and nodded slightly. Gan Martin deserves the title of strategy master. There are countless champions and reckless men in Chaos Space Marine, but this calm strategic mind is very rare.
But Huron was a little confused when he really wanted to give up the Badabu sector. On the one hand, the place had unique political significance, and it was the place where Huron swore to return back then. He once said in front of many people that this place would never belong to the empire again. If he gave up, it would be a big blow to his prestige, especially those mortal pirates, which may be swinging. On the other hand, he also invested a lot of resources there, especially those giant fortresses and defensive facilities. It was a bit distressing to give up. The hard work over the years made Huron very sensitive to "waste". Even when he distributed ammunition, he would remind him to give up the first use of the accumulated ones in the past.
Just as he was pondering, a voice of objection rang out.
“The Badabu sector cannot be given up.”
When everyone saw that it was Hong Suo who spoke.
Hong Suo pointed to the star map and spoke his point straightforwardly.
"Although the Badabu sector is surrounded by the Empire, it also restrains a large amount of troops from the Empire. Moreover, a complete defense system has been built there. Abandoning solid fortifications and taking risks in raids is definitely not what a smart commander should do. If you give up the Badabu sector, then the Empire will draw a large amount of mobile troops. How should they resist when they attack the Marg Cluster? Moreover, the location of the Badabu sector is so critical. If you throw it away, it means that we are completely trapped and unable to move in this small area!"
