After receiving strong assistance from the state religion, the mortal troops of the archdiocese can now be fully supported by the Faith Watch. The legion's auxiliary troops are no longer an indispensable part, and Zhao Akada will also start mass production soon.
520 tank, this cheap and practical main battle tank will greatly enhance the armor strength and attack capabilities of Faith Watch.
So Soshyan finally decided to let the auxiliary troops go home. After all, they had been out fighting for nearly four years. Although serving in the empire for most of the time was basically equivalent to life-long service, it was still very important to restore and boost the morale of the army.
.
Of course, the real key part is the personnel arrangement, for which Soshyan conducted a separate interview with Ustad.
"....The Archdiocese has now permanently lost 7 systems, including 2 religious worlds, 9 agricultural worlds, 2 mineral worlds, 2 new colonies, 3 feudal worlds, 1 primitive world, 1
This garden world... accounts for one-third of the archdiocesan territory. According to preliminary statistics, the population has lost approximately 26 billion, and the number of refugees gradually transferred is approximately 14.7 billion. In order to resettle these excess populations, 11 new colonies were opened. These new colonies
Five of the colonies will continue to engage in agriculture to ensure the food supply of the archdiocese, and the other three are mineral worlds, where the property rights belong to Zhao-Akada. The work of the new immigrants will provide production raw materials for the forging world, and the remaining three are
One of them will be a fortress world, copying the already mature military garrison model of the Bracato galaxy, and the other two will serve as religious worlds and industrial worlds. All immigrants will be ranked according to their age, family, ability, knowledge, and property.
and other elements are allocated, and three other space docks are also under emergency construction. The first phase goal is to be able to repair warships, and the second phase goal is to be able to produce transport ships, merchant ships and small warships on its own. The cardinal world's dock has been expanded.
, the shipyard is still accelerating construction..."
After listening to Ustad's report, Soshyan on the chair nodded slightly. In order to shorten the distance between them, this meeting was not chosen in a very large or formal place, but in a small interview room, which also
There are no furnishings, just two huge chairs, a huge table with a small projector on the table, several murals on the wall, and an incense burner in the corner, which is emitting a faint smoke.
"It seems that you are thoroughly familiar with the situation in the archdiocese. This is very good. I can see that you are very dedicated to your work."
After being praised by Soshyan, Ustad, who was wearing a robe, smiled slightly awkwardly.
"The chapter leader has given me the award. In fact, I didn't do a good job. Many logistical problems have not been solved yet."
Soshyan waved his left hand and said with a smile:
"I don't blame you for this. After all, the objective conditions are here. There is an old saying in Terra that a clever woman cannot make a living without rice. The archdiocese is already poor and weak. It has to maintain the logistics of millions of troops and take care of the food of so many priests who are not engaged in production.
, but it’s not easy at all.”
After hearing this, Ustad put down the data tablet and said very sincerely:
"Chapter Commander, I still want to fight side by side with my brothers. When I saw those casualty numbers, I felt ashamed because I did not stand with them."
Soshiyang put away his smile and sighed:
"From the moment we become a Space Marine, this moment is destined to come to each of us, but sooner or later, Ustad, when I brought you out of the Obsidian Fortress, I once believed that I could make you all
I lived to see the Chapter, and even to the moment when the Legion was revived, but the facts proved that I couldn't do it, and most of them died... You must learn to accept this, and at the same time recognize what is really difficult, I
I have high hopes for you."
Ustad lowered his head slightly.
"I disappoint you, Chapter Master."
"Ha, you make me proud, how can I be disappointed? No one can do better than you, especially by the standards of Space Marines, you can already stand alone, my Second Company Commander...
By the way, you should also know about the ascetics, right?"
"I understand, Chapter Commander, how should this matter be handled?"
"I can't say at the moment, but what is certain is that I have to leave. In addition, the Naisen Galaxy was also attacked by Chaos Space Marines before. You know that, right?"
"Already know."
"The stronger the legion becomes, the more people with malicious intentions will appear in the dark. I am lucky that the Randall is here this time, but there is no guarantee that the luck will be this good every time. The legion can no longer put everyone in a distant war zone.
."
Ustad thought for a while, and then asked tentatively:
"Does the Chapter Commander plan to keep some of his people and return the rest?"
"Yes, my idea is that the 2nd company, the 6th company, the 7th company, the 8th company, and the 10th company will be left. There will also be 5 companies left in the White Temple. The legion will leave about 10 companies in the archdiocese.
Stay for 2 years first and then rotate or increase or decrease based on the specific situation."
"It all depends on the Chapter Leader's arrangements."
"I'll tell you everything here. You've also seen the religious order presided over by Velez. In the future, it will become the mainstream faith of the archdiocese, and the archdiocese will gradually become part of the legion. In the future,
The storm will be very violent, the Tyranids may launch a larger-scale invasion, the power of Chaos is also stirring, and the Necrons among the alien enemies have also begun to appear on a large scale. We need a more stable and larger territory to continuously provide war.
motivation."
Hearing what Soshyan said, Ustad nodded.
"I understand that the Chapter Master's foresight is admirable."
Seeing Ustad without any doubt or question, Soshyan suddenly felt a small stone fall in his heart.
"So you may not be able to leave the archdiocese for the time being. The military and political power here will be under your sole control. Just communicate with the state church a little. You don't need to pay special attention to their ideas. Of course, you can also command from the front line.
After all, it’s not far away, so of course it’s best to appoint some frontline commanders, such as Oscar or Bahram.”
At this time, Ustad was a little hesitant.
"Thank you Chapter Commander for your trust, but I'm afraid...I'm afraid of living up to your trust."
"Don't be afraid. You are not afraid of death. Are you still afraid of these things? In terms of government affairs, Velez has almost managed the deacons. They are basically competent in all administrative affairs and will carry out your orders unconditionally. In terms of military matters, communicate more with the brothers.
, listen to their opinions, but you must have your own opinions. Zhao Akada's funeral corps detachment will also be stationed in the archdiocese for a long time. They will all obey your arrangements. However, you must be careful when using these treasures, knight.
I plan to let them return home first. On the one hand, the number of knight mechas is still damaged and needs to be replenished and repaired in Ulanhuda. On the other hand, they also need to bring valuable combat experience and glory back to their hometown.
