"Commander-in-Chief, the expedition...it's time to end."
When Terra's Faisal envoy found Soshiyan and said this, Soshiyan was not too surprised, because it had been two months since the final battle of the Kara Galaxy, and the storm that shrouded the depths of the vortex showed no sign of dissipation.
The Grey Knight had already left a month ago. In the middle, Soshiyang chatted with the Blade Blade among them, but the man always tried something, and Soshiyang didn't like it very much.
Later, the Red Hunters also received a new combat mission from the Inquisition to leave the Expeditionary Force's combat sequence, leave the Great Vortex to head towards the Ghost Star Zone in the Extreme Star Field. Other battle groups also tend to leave. After all, the empire is so big, there are wars everywhere, hundreds of wars are urgently needed, and a large number of powerful corps are doing nothing to stay in a war zone without enemies. Even Soshiyang himself thinks it is a waste.
During this period, he also focused on post-war handling and personnel arrangements. The most important one was the candidate for Governor Badab. In the end, he chose Arni Morales, who fought in the Moon of Destruction, and almost wiped out the entire army. Of course, his current title is Badab's acting Governor, but everyone knows that it is not very difficult for the Morales family to become a regular.
The main considerations for choosing Alni are several aspects. First, this young man is indeed very brave. The Badabu sector, as the core of the Great Vortex, will never be calm. Just now, more than nine million troops have been stationed. There will still be continuous war in this place in the future. The enemy may be pirates, alien plunderers, or the revived Red Pirate forces. In short, the local governor must not only have governance capabilities, but also have sufficient combat capabilities.
Second, Old Morales made a lot of money and was very determined. He even swears allegiance to Soshiyang in private, and hopes to send more than a dozen children from the family to participate in the selection of new recruits of the Star Knights. Even if they fail, they can become a servant of the group, which is equivalent to being willing to deeply bind the family to the group.
Third, Alni himself is relatively simple. He is obsessed with military and war. He is politically supported by his family and financially supported by his newlywed wife's family. He does not have much concern about the cooperation invitation of Zorge, a mysterious businessman. Therefore, it will be convenient for Zorge's new family to take root in the Badabu sector in the future.
Of course, in order to appease the national church and other great nobles who supported him, Soshiyan also made adjustments to the candidates for governors of various planets such as the Korcreya Galaxy and the Kara Galaxy.
When the cake in the Great Swirl has been divided, this is also an hinting that everyone is basically over.
However, understanding is understanding. As the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, Soshiyan still has to "fight".
"Envoy Faisal..."
Looking out at the command center of the Cundu Spire, the sea of ​​clouds was simmering outside, and Soshiyan, who was carrying his hands behind his back, turned around.
"Huron has not been strangled yet, and this expedition has not been fully accomplished. Could it be that he gave up halfway?"
The envoy Faisal in the dress shook his head.
"Captain of Soshyan, who knows when the Naya space storm will end? The Achilles expedition in the Jericho Star Zone has also been in trouble recently. In the direction of the Olps protrusion, the Death Watching High-level leaders believe that an invasion of the Tyron Zerg fleet is imminent, and some fronts of the Death Bucele Persian War Zone of the Acerons protrusion have also been shaken and collapsed. The Graeher front of the Canis protrusion has also been at a disadvantage in several battles with the alien titanium. The High Lords Parliament urgently needs to draw strength to that direction... It is unacceptable for the power of more than a dozen battle groups to be idle here."
When the other party talked about the Achilles expedition, Soshyan couldn't help but sigh. This was the worst expedition of the empire in thousands of years, and it could even be called a quagmire of war.
From the discovery of the arch of Jericho's abyss and forming an expeditionary force in 777.M41, it has been nearly two hundred years since the expedition, and the expedition's troops have risen from the initial ten billion to over ten billion. Sixteen imperial battle groups and their companies have participated. The resources and strength they invested are ten times that of the Great Vortex Expedition, but they can't even see a splash if they are smashed.
Some even claimed that the Achilles Expedition had become a "ulcer" that kept causing the empire to lose blood, and its military investment had far exceeded the worlds occupied.
There are many problems with Achilles' expedition, but the core is still the command chaos, with many factions, serious internal political struggles. Even the Anchor Army commander Achilles, who launched the expedition, was "sacrificed" in the tenth year after the expedition due to an unknown ship accident. His successor formulated a plan to divide troops into three groups in order to alleviate the struggle within the expedition. As a result, the strategy of greed for the vastness and integrity made the empire unable to concentrate all its efforts in every direction, and eventually formed three prominent units to fight on their own and fall into a tug-of-war. Although some people have suggested giving up one of them and concentrating their strength to break through in both directions, giving up any world that has been "recovered" is a devastating blow to the reputation and future of any commander, and no one is willing to bear such a crime.
So, a tug-of-war-style expedition full of internal pulls kicked off, and lasted for nearly two hundred years. (So don't complain that the plot of the Great Vortex has been long...)
So sometimes the empire is not really surrounded by enemies and overwhelmed. Another reason why it is troubled by war is that it hastily launched too many inefficient and unknown expeditions over ten thousand years, which greatly wastes troops and resources, and makes the people even more exhausted.
"Not only on the Achilles Expedition, but on the Damocles Bay, the damn titanium alien began to attack the world of the empire again, and large-scale heresy riots appeared in the Misty Star Zone. On the edge of the Storm Star Field, some worlds fell into the hands of aliens called gene thieves, and there was a trend of expanding. The senior judge of the Alien Inquisition believes that this may be a precursor to the large-scale Tyron invasion and needs to start organizing troops to defend immediately..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The reason for the Special Envoy Faisal is impeccable. Soshiyan knew that any words were powerless in the face of direct threats of war, so he nodded in the end.
"I understand, then at the award ceremony, I will announce the victory and end of this expedition. After that, I will gradually disband all departments of the expedition, leave the vortex and return to the station after completing the final work. The Military Affairs Department can also start to convey the latest transfer orders to each unit. What arrangements does Terra have for each battle group? It can be conveyed to them separately, and there is no need to pass through me."
"Thank you for understanding the battle leader, but..."
After hesitating for a moment, Envoy Faisal said cautiously:
"You may not be in a hurry to return to your base."
"Um?"
Soshyan frowned. Could it be that the lords wanted to throw him over to the Achilles expedition?
But the other party then said something that shocked him even more.
"The High Lord Council lets you handle the matters of the Great Whirlpool and set off for Terra as soon as possible."
Soshiyang looked at the other person blankly and asked subconsciously:
"Why?"
"Uh...a lot of reasons, not just the High Lords Council, if you can, you can meet these two?"
"who?"
As soon as Soshiyang spoke, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that the envoy had brought two very tall entourages this time, but his whole body was covered with a hooded black robe. Soshiyang thought it was Minotao's bodyguard.
The other party said this, it seemed that there was another mystery.
Soon, the door opened and two men in black robes walked into the room like ghosts. Judging from their outlines, they seemed not wearing power armor, which made Soshiyang even more curious.
Then the two took off their robe hoods, revealing their cold and resolute but slightly old-fashioned faces and gray hair. But just looking at their movements, Soshiyang knew that these two were experienced warriors, and each had a Sky Eagle Emblem tattoo on their foreheads.
The two of them didn't say anything. The one on the right showed a rosette sign in his hand, which was engraved with two crossed lightning and an eagle head relief. This sign belongs to only one organization in the empire...
Soshiyang narrowed his eyes and then uttered two words lightly.
