"...Chapter Commander, currently 240 million militia elites recruited from various worlds are concentrated in twenty-nine large recruit training camps in the Casparen system. However, due to the rudimentary facilities and the pressure on logistical supplies,
Big, training progress is relatively slow.”
In a highly technological side hall inside the Holy City of the Cardinal World, Soshyan stood on the colorful floor with his hands behind his back, slightly raising his head and staring at the various numbers, text, and images on the huge screen, while Ustad
Introductions were being made on the side.
"As for the Holy Armor Army, 31,745 people have been gathered so far. However, many of them are not adapted to large-scale combat and collective life, and their discipline is relatively poor. The entire organization is still relatively chaotic."
Seeing that Soshyan didn't speak, Ustad hesitated a little, but continued his introduction.
"At present, the currency of the archdiocese has been basically unified, but considering that the current priority of promethium is to be supplied to the frontline troops, and the archdiocese's industrial level is low and there is no huge energy demand, Ms. Sillu made some localized modifications.
Implementing bimetallism, that is, using two currency anchors, promethium and gold, so this currency is also named gold promethium coupons, which has gradually spread across the world, and the corresponding banking institutions have also been led by the Cardinal World Deacons
Established, named Jihad Bank, with its headquarters in the Cardinal World. When all worlds are included in the trading scope of gold and promethium coupons, the financial system of the archdiocese will undergo fundamental changes. All physical taxes and precious metal taxes will be replaced by currency taxes. According to
According to the current tithe standard of the archdiocese, it is estimated that by the next accounting year, the tax revenue that various places can pay is 99458.21 trillion."
"Due to the currency reform, the logistics system currently uses two methods of collection and transaction in parallel, but due to the severe war damage and..."
Ustad paused. He originally wanted to talk about the suppression activities led by Talos. The Night Lord's methods were sometimes too harsh. Although the gene stealers were indeed suppressed quickly, they also had a negative impact on local production and life.
It has a huge impact, especially since Talos also likes to attack the planet's ruling class, which makes Ustad's logistical organization work more difficult.
But everyone knows that Talos is closer to Soshyan than anyone else, even the blood descendants of his own legion...
"Why did you stop?"
Soshyan's plain voice made Ustad purse his lips, and after a few seconds he said softly:
"...and the destruction of gene stealers, resulting in the need for food and various basic materials, such as textiles, basic industrial products, etc., to be unable to meet the logistics gap..."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Soshyan's voice suddenly became stern, and Ustad was speechless for a moment.
"You think Talos's behavior is inappropriate, so have you communicated with him?"
"I..."
"I gave you all the powers in the rear. From that moment on, you are no longer the company commander. You are the acting chapter commander, or even the acting legion commander. Talos has a good relationship with me, but he is only a company commander. You
If you have any ideas, don’t you even dare to tell him?”
"This...I think this may be their style...intervention may..."
But Soshyan exposed Ustad's disguise very bluntly.
"But you are dissatisfied in your heart. You realize that the actions of Talos and the 11th Company have caused trouble for your work, but you just hide it in your stomach, and then tell me here that you are in trouble at work, why don't you look for it?
Talos said? Don’t you even have the courage to express your opinion?”
Soshyan's harsh words left Ustad speechless. He could only lower his head and accept the punishment obediently.
Seeing him like this, Soshyan couldn't help but sigh, and then waved his hand.
"That's all, the past is in the past, you can continue, what is the current situation of food and daily necessities supply."
Ustad raised his head, cleared his throat and continued:
"The Casparen system where the Cardinal World is currently located can only meet 67% of the daily transportation capacity demand due to the lack of transport ships. Moreover, due to many reasons such as wars and taxation, the overall food production has dropped by 17%. Some planets
Famine has begun to appear, and they have requested for the reduction of jihad taxes and religious tithes. However, after the deacons estimated the current situation, they concluded that the food and biological material supplies in the Casparen system have also begun to experience shortages, and some
The price of food on the planet has increased by 230%, but even so, basic survival materials such as food, textiles, and metal products are still in short supply, and those faith guards who are training consume astronomical amounts of food every day..."
After listening, Soshyan said nothing and just looked at the rows of data.
After a while, he said slowly:
"Your countermeasure is to hope that the nobles, high priests and businessmen will assume more responsibilities, right? You will even use forceful means to confiscate their homes."
"Yes..."
"What's the effect?"
"The effect...is not ideal, mainly because -"
"The main thing is that you still haven't understood this place carefully."
Soshyan turned around and looked at Ustad, frowning slightly.
"You think it's enough to imitate everything I did in the Maelstrom, but you ignore many issues. For example, the Archdiocese is a remote area far away from the core area of the empire. There are almost no imperial institutions, while the Maelstrom is well-established.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Military Affairs, controlling any organization can extend the will... Here, there is only you, your fist cannot hit everyone's head, facing so many worlds,
In such a vast area, your power cannot be extended, and your authority is not enough for them to use everything to support you. Your rough methods only intensify their avoidance and resistance. Ustad, not everyone is like this.
Those who are afraid of the word Astartes, especially Astartes who are more than ten light years away, just raising the butcher knife is of no use. You still have a honey pot in your hand, you have to tell them
, I have already demonstrated to you in the Maelstrom how you will benefit from participating in this holy war. For example, let the young people from the planet's ruling class enter the Faith Watch and directly become officers, and among the senior officers of the Faith Watch you formed,
There are almost no such people.”
"Commander, these people are just losers. They don't know how to fight at all, and they have many bad habits. I..."
"Do you expect these armies to resist the Tyranids?"
When asked this question, Ustad was stunned for a moment and finally lowered his head.
Soshyan shook his head helplessly.
"I never expected Faith Watch to lead this war. Although I don't like to use this word, their role is cannon fodder and material to fill the front line. It doesn't make much difference who leads them, Ustad
, if you want to manage mortals well, you have to have sand in your eyes. I once had a long conversation with a philosopher. He said that people have seven emotions and six desires. To live, you need to eat and sleep constantly.
Be more comfortable, be lazy, like Rozim, what do you think of others?"
