"...In fact, apart from you and the Gray Knights, no chapter can enjoy this kind of treatment, let alone battleships, every bolt gun, every chain sword, and even every bullet, for the big
Some chapters are so precious that they can only use the most limited resources to survive, continue and fight, even the Astral Knights have been like this for a long time, so how can we be so generous?"
"The Astartes regard death as their vocation. The mission of weapons is to destroy the enemy. As long as they can win, they can give up everything. But what do you want to do if you cherish your life and weapons so much?"
Soshyan laughed at himself and replied:
"Because there is something more terrible than death, it forces the Chapter Masters of the Astartes to make choices that are beneficial to themselves under adverse circumstances."
"What?"
"Forgetting."
After saying these two words, Asterion fell silent. The two looked at each other quietly for more than ten seconds, and finally he chose to turn around and leave without saying a word.
Smiling softly, Soshyan followed him out.
After returning to the hall, Soshyan did not say the result, but only announced a series of defense plans, but everyone judged the result from this.
After dealing with the Minotaur incident, Soshyan found a representative of the Wotan Alliance's Downwind Interstellar Logistics Federation who came to Orps with him, and proposed a new order, but the other party said that the risk of this order was a bit too high.
.
Based on Soshiyang's understanding of the Furnace Yi, he just asked for a higher price instead of directly rejecting it. In fact, it was a disguised asking price, so he further negotiated and finally reached an agreement with an increase of nearly 170% on the basis of the original extremely high transportation price.
According to the agreement, according to the location given by Soshyan, the Hearthborn will transport all the materials in those warehouses within half a month.
Arrive in Orps - In fact, the transportation price alone is far beyond the price of these food supplies, but it is not a matter of money now. For Amara, who is preparing for war, most of the things are unavailable.
Yes, the Hearthborn can spend their expenses with minerals and Ada crafts, but food and supplies may not be exchanged so quickly with minerals and Ada crafts.
In order to increase the efficiency of material recovery, Soshyan also announced a long-term reward order throughout Orps in the name of the Sector Governor. Anyone, regardless of their identity, can bring back key materials from the fallen area of Orps.
, can be exchanged for high-value physical rewards or promethium coins that have begun to be issued in Orps.
The materials are also divided into levels according to type. The highest level are the technological products of the Adeptus Mechanicus, such as the personal memory storage unit of the dead Mechanicus, or the combat robot lost on the fallen planet.
The second is military equipment, the highest level is heavy equipment, Leman Russ, Chimera personnel carrier or Valkyrie, etc.
There are dozens of levels listed, including thousands of categories.
In addition to increasing the efficiency of material recovery, this can also stabilize local order, give those desperadoes or adventurers a goal, at least prevent them from causing trouble on the planet or in the hive, and also provide the shipbuilding industry with
For more opportunities, Soshyan also formulated a ship development plan for Orps during his busy schedule, which is expected to be completed within ten years.
Build 20 small shipyards, 5 medium-sized shipyards and 2 large shipyards. These new shipyards will definitely not be able to build warships at the beginning. They must start with small civilian ships and gradually train skilled technical workers. A large number of adventurers will provide a lot of
Although their money may not necessarily be able to purchase ships, the newly established Orps Salvation Bank can borrow part of it!
After managing the Nessen Galaxy for so many years, Soshyan has developed his own set of governance models. He often activates the economic production vitality of a region from two parallel tracks: administrative instructions and private economy, and attaches great importance to finance and currency. its role.
In addition, in order to complete Orps' future "self-sufficiency" plan, Soshyan also brought the 520 project, which is the technology of the Fear Lion tank, to Orps, as well as defender fighter jets and guerrilla space gunships. A series of self-developed weapons and equipment, all of which are simple, cheap and practical, are very suitable for the Orps sector with a certain industrial base. As long as a large amount of equipment is used, the defense capability of the sector can be improved by several levels.
Of course, his behavior may seem a bit too generous to outsiders. After all, Orps is not his or the Star Knights' territory. Keeping it is their obligation and responsibility to the empire, but developing it just makes the star area cheaper. of rulers.
Anyone who knows Soshyan knows that when he makes this series of arrangements, it means that Orps will no longer be an area that has nothing to do with the Astral Knights, just like the Archdiocese. In name, it was returned to the national education, but in fact it had long been the secret territory of the Astral Knights, or the Eleventh Legion, and was firmly controlled from top to bottom.
This is true for the Archdiocese, and Orpheus is no exception. Even due to the existence of the Sector Governor, this matter is even easier. After the demise of the Death Angel Chapter, the only one who can protect Orpheus is the Star. Realm Knights and Sector Governors will know what to choose as long as they are clear-headed.
What Soshyan needs most now is time, but he has no control over this time. He doesn't know where the enemy is, and he doesn't know when he will attack.
Fortunately, Amnak's statement that he damaged two tomb ships when he lost control may be true. In the nearly a month since the Minotaur battle group arrived, the Amnak dynasty did not launch any attack, and even After the furnace descendants finished transporting the goods requested by Soshyan, they also went to the occupied areas to do "private work"-helping some nobles to find their lost family properties or other things in the occupied areas. This kind of business is very popular in Amara. In the fiery Hundred Days, a considerable number of nobles from systems close to Amara escaped. However, the embarrassment of life and high prices forced them to recover their past properties.
Correspondingly, various adventure businesses are also booming. Those explorers are walking through the ruins, looking for anything of value. Their activities have greatly expanded Amara's early warning range.
With the enemy still not responding, the originally silent calls for counterattack began to rise again, especially those of the fleeing nobles and ruling class. They were eager to get back their former homes and territories, even if they were empty. One person, anyway, the empire will never be short of people, just recruit immigrants from other star regions or escort prisoners.
Soshyan didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as time went by, he also began to consider whether to regain a few star systems near Amara to see the reaction of the Necrontyr. Anyway, those worlds did not have defenders.
Finally, Soshyan made a decision and sent thirteen advance teams, each of 20,000 people, mainly composed of soldiers and mechanical priests, to station in three neighboring systems and try to restore the facilities of the system capital and establish a detection station.
Form a basic early warning network.
But during this anxious waiting process, an unexpected guest came to visit him...
