supreme commander's bizarre adventure

He looked around at his brothers, seeing the expression of a Primarch, Guilliman's worry, Leon's disgust, Corax's melancholy, Ferrus' resentment, Vulcan's pity, Khan The blandness of Magnus, the exhaustion of Magnus, the indifference of Ruth... and the pain of Sanguinius.

In some ways, Sanguinius, who became Regent, was under the greatest pressure of all:

Sanguinius, with pure white wings on his back, has become a symbol of the empire and the emperor. It is because of his existence that everyone can unite and firmly limit the possible second civil war to small quarrels ...and another important person is the Supreme Lord Rorschach.

When everyone thought that he would not get involved in the politics of Terra, at the meeting of the supreme lords a few days ago, a proposal was suddenly thrown out that the representatives of the trial court should also be a member of the high lords, and this proposal was actually in the hands of several primarchs. Warranty to be passed quickly!

It was so fast that even the court itself was surprised...

"Guilliman brought us a proposal," Rog Dorn suppressed the anger welling up in his heart, and continued to speak in a flat tone:

"Split the Legion."

Donne's words sparked a quarrel in the conference room. In this large conference room, not only the Primarchs were sitting, but also the main commanders and supreme lords of the various legions, auxiliary troops, naval representatives, and the new Marshal of the Imperial Guards. ... The complicated yelling echoed in the entire conference room, making people feel unhappy.

"I won't split my legion," Leman Russ said seriously with his arms folded, and his words were also agreed by Ferrus, who said with a blank expression:

"After the split of the legion, the combat effectiveness will drop a lot, especially now that the war in the galaxy is non-stop. Orcs, various aliens, Aeldari...we can't give up because of choking."

"After splitting the legions, the Primarch can command all the battle groups of his own genetic sequence," said Robert Guilliman, the Primarch of the Ultramarines, looking into Ferrus' eyes. The approval of another Primarch, which is equal in command hierarchy, requires the presence of an Imperial representative from Terra. If the other Primarch is absent or unable to arrive in time, the Primarch who initiated the campaign cannot issue coercive orders. According to the order, battle groups other than the genetic sequence can only send part of their troops to participate, even if the whole group joins, it must follow the principle of voluntariness."

"At the same time, the convening and assembly location of the troops must be reported by Terra's Primarch Council and the Supreme Lord Council."

"A big lock, but it's better than nothing," Jaghatai Khan shook his head, but he was in favor of splitting up the legion, so Chogoris' war eagle raised his hand and said:

"I agree with Guilliman's proposal."

"...I also agree," this time it was Sanguinius who spoke, he stood up, looked at his brothers, and said with a trace of grief:

"Everyone, haven't you discovered it yet? Only we here can truly destroy the empire!"

"Orcs, Chaos... or any other enemy, nothing can destroy a united Empire. Only we, the Primarchs and Space Marines who built the foundation of the Empire, can destroy the pillars that support the Empire from within. Everyone, we There is no longer enough power to kill another 'Warmaster'."

Not to mention, there are not a few Legions that can stop nearly 20 Ultramarines now... Robert Guilliman is doing the right thing.

"I didn't understand my father's intentions until now, and why he didn't want 'superhuman politics' to happen in the empire. Primarchs and Astartes can serve as supervisors, but absolutely not as administrators!"

"..."

Sanguinius' words set off a storm of silence in the conference room, and everyone was thinking about the possibility of the future. This silence lasted until Dawn said dryly:

"Then, let's begin the voting."

"..."

The vote ended faster than Rorschach had imagined. The majority of votes were in favor, seven against three. Splitting the Legion had already been put on the agenda. Roger Dorn, who was dissatisfied with the result, did not explode on the spot. He was very angry. Sitting down with arms folded, he waited for Guilliman to read out his plan to break up the Legion.

However... Rorschach intends to play a little role of his own, which is also the product of his communication with other Primarchs, including the Emperor, so he raised a hand, attracting everyone's attention, even Guilliman He also stopped his actions, intending to hear what the supreme lord of the empire had to say.

Rorschach stood up, he spread his hands, and talked eloquently:

"Everyone, I think that in the next development of the empire's military power, the construction of mortal troops is the most important thing. I propose to separate the auxiliary army from the Astartes Legion, and the split of the Astartes Legion The regiment can retain part of the auxiliary army as a supplement, and the official energy of the empire should be devoted to building a new auxiliary army, which I call the "Astral Army". The Astartes warriors need to play their role as the sharp swords of the empire, carrying out armed assaults, harassment, stabilizing the front, and defeating the enemy's key command nodes... This, I did a good job during the siege of Terra, and I also Think the main way the Empire will conduct war in the galaxy in the future."

"Everyone, we must admit that the era of the Astartes Legion has passed, and there is no enemy in the entire galaxy that requires us to gather hundreds of thousands of Astartes to face... Maybe there will be in the future, and we are now It's about preparing for that future, and that's one of the reasons I'm in favor of splitting up the Legion."

"I have some suggestions now, and I can provide you with some references."

Chapter 493 Chapter [-] Legion Split

"Since it is necessary to split the Legion, we must also consider possible problems that may arise in the future, for example... after all the Primarchs are killed or disappeared, where will the fate of the Astartes and the Empire go."

Rorschach's words sparked a low-pitched discussion. Some people agreed with Rorschach's words, while others scoffed at them, but every Primarch seriously considered the possibility of this matter:

The Primarch will die, of course, may fall into a more terrible situation... Just like Mortarion, through the mouth of Magnus, the other Primarchs learned that the sensitive and introverted Baba What happened to the son of Russ.

No one can guarantee that they will never be corrupted by Chaos.

Therefore, all the voices against splitting the legion turned into a long sigh.

"My proposal is that the mother regiments of each Astartes legion retain 8000 men, including 1000 recruits to support each sub-regiment, the auxiliary army retains four standard infantry regiments, one standard armor regiment and one artillery regiment, and the auxiliary army strength Between 2 and 5, all equipment is borne by the Astartes mother regiment."

"The sub-groups should be divided according to different responsibilities. I currently divide them into four types, namely, the transportation node garrison group, the ship-based expedition group, the special area defense group, and the ordinary battle group."

"The traffic node garrison regiment must have 2000 Astartes, and the auxiliary army is two standard infantry regiments, with a strength of about 1. They must become the guardians of the star gate that is about to start construction, and the role of the star gate... ...I think you should know."

Facing Rorschach's words, Ferrus frowned and said:

"But Rorschach, the Stargate really doesn't need to travel through subspace, but it can only communicate with neighboring galaxies... the efficiency is too low."

"Using a star as the internal driving force, the Church of the Mechanic God will help in this regard," Rorschach said, looking at the great sage of the Order of the Circle, who nodded slightly, and then Rorschach continued:

"But even so, the site selection is very harsh. After all, although there are many stars, not many meet the standard, and the surrounding subspace nodes must also be taken care of. That is to say, the star gate is currently only playing a supporting role. , is a rapid massing method that only the imperial army can use."

"The expendable empire of building stargates on a large scale in the entire galaxy can't afford it. Therefore, I suggest that we only build a secondary stargate in each star field at the beginning, and gradually spread it out in the days to come, and then assist with subspace navigation. , and the main star gate will be placed in the nearest star field outside the solar star field, how about it?"

"I don't have any opinions," Ferrus exhaled softly, and said nothing more.

Although the idea of ​​building a stargate is very good, it is not impossible to completely abandon subspace navigation one day if you continue to develop along this technology tree, but...the evil gods will not sit idly by, and the resistance within the human empire It is estimated that it will not be small, such as the navigator family and the like.

According to Rorschach's estimate, the final Stargate (ultra-long-distance version) that can be built is estimated to be no more than the number of human fingers... But as an effective supplementary method for superluminal navigation, Stargate still needs to be upgraded and upgraded. construction.

"The ship-based expeditionary battle group must have no less than 2500 Astartes, but there is no auxiliary army. All military support must be obtained from the Astral Army troops in the battle. The scope of conscription is the entire empire, and the equipment is provided by the corresponding Provided by Forge World."

"The garrison battle group in a special area, such as... the Eye of Terror star field, or the Maelstrom star field, the garrison battle group here must have 1500 Astartes, and the auxiliary army is two standard infantry regiments. The Astartes here Starter is not allowed to go to other star domains for any activities without permission, even if he goes to other star domains under special circumstances, at least half of the troops in this star domain must be retained, and the conscription is in the entire defense star domain."

"Ordinary battle groups are allowed to have 1500 to 1800 Astartes. The auxiliary army is a standard infantry regiment, which can accompany self-propelled artillery companies or armored companies. The conscription is in charge of a single home planet. At the same time, if there is any problem with the conscription planet. The replacement must be witnessed and inspected by representatives of the Custodians, Mother Legion Space Marines, and Terra."

"Astarte wants to set up a legion council. Every space warrior parent regiment must send a representative. An agent elected by the council must participate in the Supreme Lord Council to attend and have no voting rights."

"Moreover, after going through various battles, I propose that each Astartes legion can send out some troops to build a professional battle group, that is, a professional battle group that specializes in attacking alien aliens. Their task is to monitor and eliminate those alien aliens. Aliens, give early warning of large-scale attacks by aliens, such as Orcs."

"...Okay, I'm done talking, do you have any ideas?"

"One thing, Lord Rorschach," a man stood up. Rorschach knew him. This was a representative of the Imperial Navy, an admiral. He still had a fresh scar on his face. This was not long ago. Left over from the former Horus Rebellion, "How should the warships in the Astartes Legion be handled? Do they also need to be split?"

"About this..." Rorschach looked at the expressions on the faces of the surrounding Primarchs, and after seeing that no one wanted to speak, he continued:

"The Legion of Astartes is allowed to retain the Queen of Glory class flagship and ships of the cruiser class and below. Of course, this part of the ships will also be split to a certain extent, while other ships will be merged into the Imperial Navy... Are there any questions now?"

"No, no, thank you for your reply."

At this time, Leman Russ spoke. He patted the table and looked sideways at Rorschach, saying:

"I'm not going to split the Legion. In fact, there are only 1 people left in the Space Wolves Legion, and the Legion can't recruit outside of Fenris... Do you have any suggestions?"

"Then it will exist in the form of a ship-based legion. When the number of Space Wolves reaches about 1 to 3000, they will leave a corresponding garrison force in Fenris. It is allowed to return to Fenris to replenish troops, and it cannot act as a whole legion, and each large company chooses a direction to carry out an expedition, and at the same time must respond to the signal for help, how about it?"

"……acceptable."

Russ is not a fool, he knows that he must pay something if he wants to keep the secret of the Legion, otherwise, his brothers will not let it go.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Russ, remember to ask the Space Wolves to send out some fighters to join the Glory Knights," Rorschach smiled, "This is the covenant between the Emperor and me, and it is also an obligation of the Empire. "

"It's impossible."

After the meeting, while the various legions were splitting up, they also launched a hunt for the rebels... and Rorschach chose to return to the prison galaxy after a few days.

Section 494 Concerning Legion Splits and Imperial Politics

The first is the legion split problem:

After the Heresy is over, splitting up the Legion is a very normal behavior, and I think you understand this, so the main focus is to solve the political problems of the empire before the split of the Legion.The cooperation between the army and the navy is also limited to the commander of a single expedition, such as the Macharius Great Expedition... The reason is also a cliché.

Regarding the military strength after the division of the legion, the 1 people in the previous official history is definitely not enough, but now, I don’t think there is any problem. The construction of the star gate will increase the speed of army assembly, and Terra is in trouble. The Fist of the Empire won't be the only one who resists... To be honest, the Beast Wars book is a bit outrageous... Moreover, the Beast Wars will be written in the 30K post-day talk.

The second point is the question of imperial politics:

First of all, how do you want to deal with those nobles who hold real power on Terra and can influence the politics of the empire?

This is the political alliance established by the Emperor when he launched the Great Crusade. This group of people followed the Great Crusade only after being overwhelmed by the Emperor's big stick. , Now, they follow the empire to resist Horus' rebellion, what reason do you want to use to deal with them?

The problem is that they are loyal and have the ability to lead the empire to continue. After the rebellion is over, everyone wants only one thing: stability.

As for involving the Primarch in politics... who else would be suitable besides Guilliman?Lion King?Ferrus?Khan?Sanguinius?Uncle Hei, Dawn and the Wolf King will not be mentioned, let alone Magnus.

In my opinion, the primarchs are very suitable to be supervisors, but it is not good to directly participate in politics (except for Guilliman), but even in the hands of the primarchs who are best at politics, they have only partially cleaned up, Far from being a structural overhaul of the thing (Guilliman, after splitting up the Legion, also directed Imperial politics for quite some time, until Fulgrim slit his throat after he assembled the sub-corps).

The political system of the empire is deeply rooted, and it can only delay the rot, but cannot cure it completely. Furthermore, how to cure it radically?Kill all the nobles and replace them with a group of civilian-born bureaucrats?That's just repeating the current situation.

It can only use political means to supervise, divide, and suppress, and clean up some of them who dance happily. Is there any other way? (I will mention a little bit later in the talk, but in general, I still follow the official history, but it will definitely be better than the official history)

Especially when the protagonist is only cooperating with the empire in military affairs, you still want to dictate the political issues of your allies, why, you are also a Yankee?The reason for being able to speak on the issue of legion splitting is that the protagonist provided a considerable part of the legion’s armaments and directly influenced the direction of the great rebellion. It was the emperor and Malcador who personally concluded the covenant, and it was supported by several primarchs ( That is, the Primarch who supports the split of the Legion, if all the Primarchs oppose the split of the Legion, the protagonist will have nothing to say, right?).

Ladies and gentlemen, just because Warhammer has written a lot doesn't mean it's a Warhammer novel! (shocking sound) Actually, before I wrote this novel, I wanted to write a Warhammer novel in which the protagonist is a cloned Phoenix (maybe the next novel can be written like this, lol)...

Chapter 495 Chapter Three Hundred and Five

Everything has temporarily come to an end, but at least for Rorschach, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief and have some leisure to do something he likes to do:

For example, make some giant structure or something... the star ring on the sacred Mars in the imperial universe looks good!

When Rorschach stepped onto the land of Mars, he stretched his waist and twisted his neck a few times. He felt more hopeful about the easy life in the future. Afterwards, he reached out and took the data pad from the hand of the commander standing beside him. casually asked:

"Has the manufactured main stargate been handed over to the empire?"

"Yes, Master Rorschach," Commander Yurha followed Rorschach with small steps, holding a stack of data pads. The two of them are now in the airport on the surface of Mars, surrounded by people coming and going. It is the mechanical priest who came to hand over supplies from the empire and the representative of the Astartes Legion.

"The relevant manufacturing technology has also been transferred to the Great Sage Jabri Desima of the Order of the Circle. Now, the Order of the Circle has begun to evacuate the personnel on our side of Mars. At that time, only the Great Sage Da Vinci will be left. The troops and the Mechanic Priests remain here."

"It's okay, it's fine, we shouldn't have too much contact with the empire, just keep a certain distance and cooperate," Rorschach strode forward, the bracelet on his arm shone slightly and waited until it dissipated in the air, wearing pure white The goddess in the skirt quietly appeared beside Luo Xia, and took the man's arm with ease, making the commander behind her look envious.

The rest are just some small problems. After Rorschach briefly asked, he handed them all over to the Jurhas. The Jurhas who stayed on Mars were cancelled. After completing the initial transaction with the empire, they can take turns to their vacation.

"Oh, that's right," Rorschach stopped, and he reached out to summon Commander Yurha who was about to leave, and said with a hint of a smile:

"A week later, let's hold a victory banquet. Just us, and... the warriors from the Knights of Glory and the Warriors of Wrath will also come, and the Custodians and Sisters of Silence may participate."

"Okay, Lord Rorschach," Commander Yurha couldn't help laughing, but she remembered another thing:

"The Emperor's Children Legion...ah, I mean the Chapter..."

"They have things to do that are far more important than celebrating victory," Rorschach patted the commander on the shoulder, "Aren't there hundreds of Emperor's Children warriors still serving in the Glory Knights, let them replace those People who can't participate."

"Okay, Lord Rorschach."

"...How many times have I told you, don't call me my lord," Luo Xia pretended to raise his eyebrows. Seeing him like this, Commander Yurha covered his mouth and smiled, then turned and left after saluting, ready to simply Continue to work after taking a break.

And when Rorschach was walking towards his room, the Jurha fleet was also slowly sailing into the star port on the orbit of Mars. The remaining battleships were less than half of what they were when they set off, and the glory fortress of the angry warrior was also beaten. It's all messed up, and it's currently undergoing major repairs——

The group of angry warriors drove this thing into the battleship group of the rebels, and transformed under the watchful eyes of a group of people!

At that moment, the battlefield was silent for a full minute.

Afterwards, the deformed mechanical giant received the worst beating in the audience...

Fortunately, the strength of the fortress itself is relatively strong. Few of the nearly [-] angry fighters carried in it died in the confrontation with enemy warships, but many died when they jumped to help each other... and their bodies Has been cremated and buried in the plains of wrath of the earth, and beside the grave there will be a sea of ​​white flowers quietly blooming.

Returning to his room after spending more than ten minutes, Rorschach saw the blond girl as expected, and the table was full of all kinds of delicate dishes. He shook his head and said amusedly:

"Mami, you are always so punctual."

"I just saw the news on the data board... Ah, Madoka, wash your hands first!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm a pure goddess," Yuan Huanzhi blinked, and poured himself a glass of juice. Ba Mami could only sigh, showing a "I really can't do anything about you" expression.Afterwards, the blond girl handed Rorschach a pair of chopsticks, and she herself sat down and ate with small bites.

As a well-educated young lady, Ba Mamei has implemented the etiquette of not talking when she eats well. Luo Xia can see that she has something on her mind, but he doesn't like to talk about bad things during meals.So when Mami and Madoka started to clean up the dishes after eating, he asked aloud:

"Mami, what's the matter? I think you seem to have something on your mind."

"Ah? Ah..." Ba Mamei was slightly startled by Luo Xia's words. She blinked her eyes and slowed down the movements of her hands. The blond girl said softly:

"That... the teacher who has been teaching me and the Jurhas art, from the Emperor's Children Legion... didn't come back."

"That's it," Luo Xia sat on the chair, stretched out his hand and was poured a cup of black tea by himself, he held the teacup and felt the slightly hot feeling brought by the tea, the tea swirled slowly, after a while, he took a sip of the tea, said:

"This is the fate of space fighters, they will not die of old age in bed."

"War is such a cruel thing..." Ba Mamei squeezed out a smile, and she let out a soft sigh, "I used to feel that my life was very dark, but compared with these people, I was in a certain place. Much luckier in a way.”

"So, don't despair under any circumstances, Mami."

Rorschach shrugged and put the teacup on the table. He looked at the blonde girl in front of him and said with a smile:

"Do you want to do more work?"

"Eh?" The blond girl looked a little dazed, she whispered shyly:

"I don't have such a strong fighting ability, and I don't have a strong mind... I don't even know that useful knowledge. How can I help you like this?"

"Hmm... How about being a messenger?" Rorschach raised a finger and shook it, "Jurhas think they can start some work other than military activities, such as the civilian postal business across the universe, but Well...they don't have much common sense in life, and they often have shortness of breath when facing humans, so you should do some guiding work."

"It looks like it will be very hard work," the girl said with a smile on her face, "But, is Mr. Rorschach planning to build this place into a transportation center connecting other universes?"
