There are three worlds that have been completely controlled, and an unknown and unexplored world. If it were other people, they might not hesitate to choose the world that has been completely controlled.
Because they are completely controlled, it means that they only need to land and start recruiting troops, and there is no need to consider other issues at all.
It can be said that it saves time, effort and worry, and is the simplest and most direct way for a battle group to obtain new recruits besides asking Chen Mo to replenish them with clone recruits.
But none of the war groups chose this option. They all chose to explore the unknown world and create a world of conscription themselves.
Just like in the era of the Great Crusade, the Primarch and the interstellar legions liberated worlds one after another, returning them to the rule of the Empire and at the same time returning them to the Primarch and the legions to govern.
It's just that most war groups are too lazy to manage the worlds they conquered. Usually the interstellar legions conquer a world, clear out the local resistance, and directly teach the entire planet to the imperial officials who follow, and then set off to
The next world awaits liberation.
Only the Ultramarines were interested in governance, and that was how the Five Hundred Worlds of Macragge came to be.
In the era of war groups after the Great Founding of the Army, although each war group basically had a recruiting world and a war group home planet, they also basically did not participate in the governance of the planet, but handed it over to the governor appointed by the empire.
.
In fact, it is not necessary for the war group to manage its own conscription world.
To a greater extent, the chapter hopes to maintain the status quo of the conscription world in order to stably and continuously provide qualified soldiers for the chapter.
It is precisely because of this that the recruitment worlds and home planets of some Chapters can be said to be almost barbaric. For example, the home planet of the Space Wolves is a dead world with half a year of flames, half a year of ice and snow, and geological turmoil.
From the perspective of the Chapter, it is precisely in such a harsh world that strong warriors can be trained and qualified recruits can be cultivated for the Chapter.
But even so, when Chen Mo gave them a choice, the nine chapter leaders unanimously chose to explore the unknown world on their own, because they hoped to prove themselves through glorious victories like their ancestors did during the Great Expedition.
Chen Mo did not express any objection to the choice of the nine chapter leaders. These chapters were willing to go to the new world to expand his empire. He was not happy enough, so how could he object?
However, out of some stability considerations, he still required each battle group to send at least one company of troops to station in the three worlds that he had complete control of, and to appropriately recruit new soldiers from these three worlds.
This is mainly to consider that in case of failure to open up a new world, at least the chapter can still have a stable recruitment world, which can be effectively replenished and restored after losing a large number of troops.
The nine chapter leaders also chose to agree to this after a brief discussion. They were not ungrateful people, and they also did not have the idea of falling into disgrace with the whole family and burning the boat if nothing happened.
Having a stable recruiting world is indeed a good thing for the war group.
It's just that they hope that this world of conscription was conquered by themselves, rather than given directly by Chen Mo.
But after solving these problems, they immediately began to prepare for the expedition to open up the new world.
All the Space Marines of each Chapter were mobilized. After being idle for a period of time, they could finally join the battle again, which made all the Space Marines couldn't help but get excited.
The morale of the battle group has been unprecedentedly boosted, and everyone is devoted to combat preparations with 120% enthusiasm.
Various ancient relic weapons were taken out of the relic vault after cherished prayers and handed over to the most heroic and elite warriors of the Chapter.
The power armor that was only issued after upgrading to the Primaris Space Marines, along with the older models of the power armor of the Chapter, were carefully maintained by the Chapter's servants. Various weapons and ammunition were also produced and delivered to every warrior.
to make sure they have absolutely sufficient supplies.
Combat barges, strike cruisers and new ships prepared for the battle groups are also being produced. After debugging is completed, they will be assigned to each battle group.
After a short period of running-in, everyone from each battle group, from the group leader to the mechanical slave workers, was ready for the expedition. Like a fully drawn bow, they were ready to go.
Just waiting for Chen Mo to allow them to pass through the cross-world teleportation array.
Limited by the scale of the cross-world teleportation array, each battle group will only dispatch one strike cruiser to carry two companies for the first batch of pioneering expeditions.
That is a total of nine strike cruisers and 1,800 Space Marines, traveling to nine different worlds.
In addition, on these nine strike cruisers, each ship also has three infantry battalions sent by the Krieg Death Corps to supplement the force when manpower is insufficient.
Although in Chen Mo's opinion, this may be a bit insufficient, it is only the first batch of vanguard troops. If they encounter a world that is difficult to deal with, they can still continue to invest troops.
Of course, if there are any hard-to-break bones or a world that is too outrageous, the pioneering troops will be wiped out as soon as they enter. This level of troop losses will not be said to be a serious injury.
Soon, nine strike cruisers were prepared on the cross-world teleportation array in the Mars ring. After Chen Mo nodded slightly in agreement, they disappeared in a flash of light and headed to the new world.
Watching the nine strike cruisers leave, Chen Mo said to the nine chapter leaders beside him: "There are currently four worlds under my control including this world. I have told you about those three worlds and asked you to send them.
In addition to the troops stationed there, this world is the core world of the country I rule, and each of the nine war groups needs to leave at least one company of troops in case of emergencies.
I don’t care how you deploy the remaining troops, as long as you feel that you are busy enough, I don’t care if you open up a few more worlds."
"Please rest assured that we will not advance rashly. We will not start a new world exploration until the situation of the first world to be opened has stabilized." As the representative of the nine chapter leaders, Taitu, the chapter leader of the Ultramarines
Si promised Chen Mo.
However, apart from the guarantee, Titus couldn't help but curiously asked Chen Mo: "Master Chen Mo, why don't you let us join the ongoing war in this world? With our strength and the strength of the Krieg Corps, you
If you want to quell the war in this world, bringing the whole world under your rule is just a thought, right?"
"Having said that, you should all know about the battle that took place in Rome before, right? There are still many monsters like this in this world. I don't want to stir up a hornet's nest with one stick. Moreover, directly conquering the entire world in this way will kill many of them.
Possible." Chen Mo looked at Titus and explained with a smile.
