Regarding Mars' attitude, Soshyan is actually quite confused. What is the meaning of this kind of behavior and thoughts that desperately push people to become traitors? There may have been traitors in the Alatimos Forge World, but they also solved it themselves.
Traitors, if you want to retaliate for past crimes, how much better can Mars be? Besides, this was ten thousand years ago. How many traitors have been bewitched by Chaos in the past ten thousand years, and how many traitors have been created by the empire itself?
Or maybe it's more than that...
The sage Ulanhuda who came with Soshiyang made another guess. In the past, the steel ring spanned the two star fields and had already become a giant in the Adeptus Mechanicus system. If there was no great rebellion, these forging worlds would be very difficult.
They may join forces to attack the authority of Mars. For Mars, a single powerful forge world is not scary. What is scary is a group of forge worlds united, and the Iron Ring is such a typical example.
Therefore, after the Great Rebellion, Mars' sanctions and suppression of the Steel Ring were also the most obvious. Both rebels and loyalists were subjected to various political and economic exclusions. For Mars, it is important to prevent the emergence of an opposition
The best way for groups is to weaken them, making them extremely weak and even unable to protect themselves.
Except for Greia, this is true for Alatimus, and so is Urdesh - all the Titans in this forge world were not even allowed to establish their own Titan legions after being destroyed in the Great Rebellion, so that in the forties
After a thousand years, it was so weak that it was captured by the cultists and was not liberated until Sabat's expedition.
But it has to be said that this method seems to have become the usual routine of the Terragongon princes. It can even be said to be path dependent. This is true for the Astartes Chapter, the Astra Militarum, and the Navy.
, and this is even true for every planet.
It seems that their only way to "balance" is to "weaken".
In this case, Soshyan stepped forward. As the leader of the Astartes Chapter that rescued the Forge World, he told the Instructor very bluntly that if he came a little later, the Mars envoy fleet would hit him head-on.
Entering a galaxy full of greenskins, and after acquiring Alatimus, the power of the greenskins will increase exponentially. At that time, the entire eastern part of the Tempest Star Territory will not be peaceful. Now a large-scale war has begun in the west.
The greens are gone, and if trouble breaks out again in the east, who will bear the consequences?
As the Chapter Master of the Astartes, he spoke much tougher than the Forge Director. Although the Instructor repeatedly stated that he was just a messenger, Soshyan asked him to go home and bring his letter to the Forge General.
In it, he will explain the situation in detail. Although it is impossible to completely erase the Forge World production quota, reducing it by 20% is not a big problem, and it can also avoid additional extra points.
His righteous speech also made the foundry director and the sages feel his goodwill, but the most important thing was the strength he showed, not just force, but also political strength. The envoy of Mars dismissed him as he said.
"...Alatimus has worked hard to serve the empire and humanity for so many years. It is always worthy of merit. No matter how bad it is, there is still hard work. I can understand your mood, especially as a member of the Erased Legion.
Descendants can understand this very well. It is unreasonable and unfair for descendants to pay back ten thousand years for the mistakes made by our distant ancestors, but it is still not enough."
Walking in the completely abandoned Titan Factory of the past, Soshyan glanced at the solidified forge and the chains that fell from the dark dome. It was hard to imagine that this dilapidated cave could produce all Titans except the Emperor-class Titans in the past.
Next to him was a large casting director wearing a red robe, whose entire head seemed to have been completely replaced with equipment.
A row of flying little angels passed over their heads, and the smoke from the incense burner in their hands rolled and dissipated in the darkness...
"We gave everything we had for the empire, but all we got in return was suppression, humiliation, belittling, and restrictions... We didn't have enough resources, so we could only spend high prices to buy rare minerals from the Rogue Traders, which made our guardian
The quality of the army has declined sharply, and Mars has restricted us from selling our products... It wants to starve us to death, destroy our army, and reduce us to the same situation as Urdesh."
The casting director's cold metallic tone clearly conveyed an irrational anger, which could make a sage-level mechanical priest have emotions other than "mechanical rationality". It is conceivable that this kind of resentment has already spread in Alatimus.
How long has it been backlogged?
"...It's all because Mars has taken it right and we don't have the strength to resist. Does it dare to do this to Reza and Huangquan No. 8?"
Soshyan smiled slightly.
"Director Christopher, I can understand your anger. In fact, this also proves a truth. There is no way out in the dark galaxy alone. From a race to an individual, the Nessen galaxy already has radiation.
With the commercial power of the entire sector, Alatimos will be supplied with resources from the entire sector in the future, just like the previous Nidelina sub-sector, it will also become the core of the new steel corridor."
Hearing this, the casting director suddenly made a very low voice.
"Commander Soshyan, why are you doing this?"
Soshyan raised his head slightly, thought for two seconds, then turned around and said:
"For humanity, for the Emperor, for the Empire... for survival."
"...In order to survive, yes, we have all been pushed to the edge."
"Furthermore, the reconstruction of the Iron Corridor is definitely not for the benefit of me or the Eleventh Legion. Now that the Storm Star Territory has entered a troubled time, it is difficult to support it only by the three forging worlds of Grea, Zhao-Akada, and Griffin IV, especially
Griffin and Zhao Akada are both located on the edge of the Star Territory, in a dangerous area along the Tyranid invasion route. The Steel Corridor is the key material basis for defending the Storm Star Territory. In the future, they will work with the Tribulation Alliance to ensure the security of the Star Territory.
The core pillar, as for the empire... Obviously the Eye of Terror alone has already made the high lords very anxious. Corresponding to the dark and barren Storm Star Territory, they will not invest too much attention, and we can only rely on ourselves."
The casting director nodded.
"I agree with your idea. We have also received the news of the Tyranid invasion. If the Suffering Alliance had not intervened in time, we don't know how bad the situation would have worsened."
Soon, the two walked to a huge platform. The platform was facing a huge metal skeleton. It was covered with thick dust. It looked like some kind of unearthed cultural relic. From the outline, it
It should be the support frame of a Predator Titan, which means it has been on the support for tens of thousands of years.
Since the civil war, the heavily damaged Titan Factory has never been in operation. Although the Titan Factory in Ulan Huda has been stagnant for a long time, it still has maintenance after all. However, there is no maintenance here anymore and it is almost a ruin.
