Chapter 2338 Protecting the country and the people
After hearing a brief summary of the development of the mining industry on the planet, Soshyan nodded thoughtfully. The mineral resources of Nessen 5 are indeed rich. At least after detailed exploration, Nessen 4 was recognized by the Mechanicus as having mining potential.
There are only 8 valuable rare minerals. In comparison, it is not surprising that Nessen No. 5 can develop such a huge mining industry and ancillary industries.
Then, he said something meaningful.
"Miners will always be collected when they are finished."
King Welleton was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he didn't know how to answer.
"Governor, I think... we should take advantage of the fact that the planet still has resource advantages to carry out a smooth transformation and develop the industry in a higher-end direction. After all, the industrial foundation has been laid, but if we still maintain the status quo, when the planet is destroyed
It will be full of holes and nothing will be left. The miners will lose their source of livelihood, and then the hive will really be left with nothing but chaos and hunger."
"The chapter leader said..."
As he said that, the Governor glanced at the representative of the Mechanicus not far away. The original industry of Nessen 5 was brought by Griffin 4, so the power of the Mechanicus here basically came from that forging world, and the planet's
Mineral resources are mostly exported to Griffin 4 in exchange for other electronic products and promethium.
In addition, the Mechanicus will also formulate very harsh agreements that do not allow the planet to develop high-end industries on its own without consent. Otherwise, severe energy import sanctions will be imposed. This is also the Mechanicus using its position to monopolize trade and technology.
an important means.
Of course Soshyan knew this. He glanced at the representative of the Mechanicus, and then said calmly:
"What I said is right, then do it. The Astral Knight's decision is only responsible for the throne. You don't need to worry about anything. If there is any external trouble, I will solve it. You only need to consider the internal affairs of the planet."
This was what the governor was waiting for. The most important thing for a person like him is Soshiyang's promise that "the sky will fall if the sky falls and the tall man will stand up", so he nodded hurriedly and said:
"Everything follows the Chapter Master's instructions."
"Sage Leininger."
Hearing Soshiyang slowly calling his name, the sage from Griffin 4 immediately walked out of his seat. Although he was from Griffin, after coming to Naisen 5 to serve, a certain
In this sense, he has the dual identity of an imperial official and a technical priest, and naturally it is clear that Soshyan can "manage" him.
"I will personally visit Griffin 4 and the foundry director to explain the situation here someday. During this time, I would like to ask you to cooperate with Governor Wellaton in all aspects of work."
Soshyan's subtext is not difficult to understand, but also very domineering - there is nothing to talk about with you, you just need to obey.
"Yes, Chapter Commander Alexey. The Forge World also sent a message to me to base everything on your will."
The Mechanical Sage generally accepted Soshyan's arrangement without common sense.
"What's the current situation of the planet's industrial facilities?"
This time it was the Mechanical Sage who answered him, and the numbers were very accurate.
"Currently, there are a total of 4,611 production complexes on Nessen 5 planet, with a total of 199,276 subordinate factories and composite assembly lines, 95% of which are located on the surface of the planet. There are also 34 power plants and energy conversion plants. The power grid has covered 91% of the planet.
Settlement and planetary transportation mainly rely on highways and rail facilities. The current statisticable road mileage is 70 million kilometers and the total length of rail facilities is 12.08 million kilometers, and they are all connected to the Chaodu airport facilities."
"The planet's production capacity? I mean civilian products."
"The planet is currently able to produce the vast majority of small civilian commodities and some vehicles. More than a hundred categories of light industries such as the textile industry and chemical industry are developed, but most of them are private investments, and the general categories and prices of production are not the same.
Under control, in fact, price gouging or hoarding happens from time to time——"
Hearing the mechanical sage talking about this, some people in the noble crowd coughed slightly from time to time.
Soshiyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked:
"Where are the military supplies?"
"The planet is currently able to produce the M35M-Galaxy short-barreled laser gun and the Mars Mk3 laser gun. In the case of non-emergency production, the average annual output is 1.5 million. This is also the main tithe project of the planet. At the same time, the planet can also produce
The average annual output of Hellhammer infantry squad laser cannons is 100,000 units. In addition, the planet also has a Mk.III flamethrower production line with an average annual output of 50,000 units. In terms of vehicles, the planet can produce Taurus armored vehicles and half
Light vehicles such as man-horse transport vehicles, as well as Mars-type Sentinel mechas.”
After the mechanical sage gave a brief introduction, Soshyan still looked at the data board carefully.
The industrial foundation of Nessen 5 is indeed good. As long as the technology is in place, it should be no problem to produce Leman Russ or Basilisk. However, the planet does not produce whatever it wants, but what the empire wants you to produce.
No matter what it can produce, what Nessen 5 can produce is very basic infantry equipment, and at most it can arm some light infantry - this is also an important means for the empire to check and balance various worlds, and prevent the involvement of a large number of heavy equipment when rebellion occurs.
But things are different now.
"In the future, the planet's industry will develop to a higher level. Some production lines will be transferred from Nessen 4, and more mechanical priests will participate in the construction of new factory facilities."
The Chapter has a lot of equipment production lines on Nessen 4, but the development of a planet is limited after all. Now that there is a Nessun 5, Soshyan must expand the scale of equipment production, especially the production line of plasma weapons. Reza assists
The factory under construction has been in operation for a long time, and the priests in Ulanhuda have basically mastered the technology. They are fully capable of opening one or even several more production lines in Naisen No. 5, and there are also more weapons for the auxiliary army, including
Leman Russ, Wyvern, Basilisk and other production equipment must also be constructed.
In Soshyan's plan, in the future the Nessen system will have at least 65 million Astra Militarum standard troops stationed in key locations in the system as defense and reserve forces, while the Chapter's auxiliary forces will also be expanded to eight
As a mobile force, the goal is that the battle group can organize a galaxy-level battle alone without resorting to any external force, and the industrial production capacity and inventory of the Nessen galaxy must be able to be organized at any time.
Over 100 million armed personnel.
If we consider a more long-term goal, then the ultimate goal is that when necessary, the Chapter can independently organize more than 200 million troops based on the Astra Militarum to launch expeditions or long-distance military operations.
As for the reason for doing this...
Of course, this is because the defense force of the Storm Star Territory is weak, and it has been a troubled time recently. Naturally, we have to prepare for the worst. If the Third Legion really comes in full force, and other allies cannot support it in time, Soshyan will have to rely on himself.
.
Only by being prepared can you be safe.
As for whether other people will be suspicious, Soshiyang feels that his current reputation should not be so easy for people to be suspicious, right?
Moreover, the Codex Astartes does not stipulate the number of non-Space Marine armed personnel in the Chapter. Although this is indeed a little similar to the Tyrant Legion organized by Huron in the past, Soshyan's original intention is good. He feels that he
There is an essential difference from that traitor. Huron did it to arm a separatist regime and harbor evil intentions, while he did it to protect the country and the people and prepare for a rainy day!
