Ekvolia also looked forward to Soshiyan for a long time. After Orps was invaded by alien forces, they were also very nervous. After all, they were not far from this star area. If the star area was lost, they would definitely be the next one. They had personally experienced the terrifying space undead, and knew that with their current power, they could not reach the space undead that could sweep the entire star area, so they could only place their hope on Soshiyan.
Soshiyan, who arrived in the forging world, seemed very contented. He seemed not to be rushing to a war at all, but more like a daily inspection.
He first checked the recovery of the production facilities of the Foundry World, and then went to see the Titan Factory and the Titan Fortress being prepared for construction. After almost a round, he held a meeting with the Foundry Director and the Foundry World's senior management.
The purpose of this is also very simple. The multiple expeditions have made Soshyan very familiar with the empire's problems in war, such as fragile production levels and poor transportation levels, which often lead to frequent famines and shortages of materials in a war zone. Olps is no exception, not to mention that it has been thrown into most of its territory. Just supplying food to the capital galaxy is likely to have problems. In addition, the expansion of the army will inevitably lead to war, so the logistics pressure will be even greater.
And he made a rough judgment on the way he came to this war.
With the current strength and military strength of the empire in Orps, it is almost impossible to defeat the opponent quickly, unless he directly uses the skinder to incarnate Menak. If it is really possible, then it is best, but Soshiyan also has to make the worst plan - that is, the skinder cannot solve the Menak dynasty, so the only way is to bring war into the area that mankind is best at and most familiar with - the war of attrition.
The fearful deceased have their technical advantages, but also their weaknesses. No matter how many times their cannon fodder warriors can be resurrected, their number will never be as large as that of humans that reproduce rapidly. This is also a weakness that their entire race cannot overcome after undergoing stupid living metal transformation. Their number is not much better than that of Ada in humans, and it is just a drop in the ocean, so the most suitable tactic is a war of attrition or a bad war.
Let’s make a bad analogy: You have Gauss guns, and I have a celestial spirit cap, and you can drown them even if you drown them.
The only problem is that humans' numerical advantages are not easy to play, and a solid front is needed. The extremely high mobility and destructive nature of the deceased can easily destroy the front. For example, this 100-day surprise attack, the deceased killed humans who may be thousands of times their in a very short period of time, which is a typical case of concentrating their strength and not concentrating their number.
What Soshiyan needs to do in the future is to create an environment that fights attrition.
If a quick victory is not feasible, then you can only fight a protracted battle. It is precisely based on this idea that Soshiyan must focus on logistics production, because this is the core factor that determines the victory or defeat of a consumption battle.
Therefore, he emphasized from the beginning that Ekvoria will be a key part of the Orps battle and the core fulcrum for supporting the war. It not only needs to contribute to the production of weapons and equipment, but also has to be responsible for the supply of key survival materials. Of course, this is not completely unrewarded. The Orps star zone will be completely open to Ekvoria in the future, and its manpower and material resources will provide impetus for the expansion of the world.
So he was very concerned about the production situation of Ekvoria and chose to come here first and then go to Olps.
As for Soshiyan's requirement to use the Foundry World as a rear production center, the foundry director did not object. After all, they were cold in their lips and teeth, so they pointed at Olps to withstand the pressure of aliens. However, he also explained some difficulties, mainly in terms of transportation. The Foundry World's current number of transport ships is not large, and it may not meet Soshiyan's requirement to support the entire war zone.
Soshiyan was prepared for this. Among the fleet he brought, there were more than 200 large transport ships, which he had pieced together from all aspects. There were short-sold transport ships he hired (mercenaries were unwilling to come, but those who were willing to carry out transportation were willing, and Soshiyan was quite puzzled), as well as other ships that were rented for the world, such as Griya and Griffin 4, and some ships of the merchants.
With these large transport ships, a transport chain from Ekvoria to Olps could be established. After learning that Soshyan had made arrangements in advance, the mechanical sages also praised him for his meticulous and complete plans.
But this is not a meticulous mind, it is nothing more than the experience accumulated after fighting more battles. The only difference is that Soshiyan has richer experience as the commander of the battle, which is the experience that most of the commanders of the Astartes lack.
Of course, in addition to checking the production situation, Soshiyan also pays attention to the defense situation, because enemies like the Dead are not as brainless as Greenskin or Tyron. As a former civilized race, they must have something in military strategy. They may choose to sneak attack on human logistics production bases during the war, so Ekvoria's defense work must be done well and always be vigilant.
After arranging a series of preparations, Soshiyan began to inquire about Olps, and the director of Ekvolia foundry, who has been paying attention to the area, also reported the information and information collected during this period to Soshiyan.
The situation in Olps was very bad. The entire south and east were in darkness. The actual number of planets fell in the astrological area, three-fifths of the number of people in the astrological area. Now at the forefront, it has become the capital Amara, located in the middle of the star area. However, Decapolis, located on the west side of the star area, is safe. This is also the only good news, which means that Olps' first and second largest economic and industrial center has not yet fallen, and this star area still has enough manpower and material resources to maintain resistance.
However, the impact of the "Bloody Hundred Days" is too great. Although the officials have been trying hard to cover up the news, all kinds of rumors have inevitably spread to the people, resulting in a very chaotic and disarray of the military and the people. Many people choose to take the risk of boarding immigration ships and transport ships with unknown futures to escape from their hometowns, but most people cannot leave, which can only lead to the proliferation of various doomsday theories and conspiracy theories. The subsequent deployment of the Governor's Office has exacerbated this turmoil.
