Chapter 51 The seeds of civilization and the choice of personnel
Attempts like Wu's to learn and master "inscriptions" are not accidental, but they are indeed not what Calvin expected.
As a human being in his two lives, he really did not have the opportunity to observe the special role of writing on the development of a race from a time span of hundreds or thousands of years, which naturally did not stop the Gray Knights from "learning" and "
Application".
But the reason why words are words is that in addition to carrying information, they actually represent the most basic way of thinking of a race.
Even in this bizarre universe, the text is given too much idealism;
But it is undeniable that its ultimate significance lies in returning to the two basic functions described above.
"Inscription"'s detached observation angle of time and the logic of holistic presentation made the Gray Knights' thinking and understanding gradually no longer the same as that of mortals and even immortal races after long-term use. It was only later that he gradually discovered
.
This is a coincidence among coincidences, because without the psychic talent of the Gray Knights, they would not have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of writing;
Without Calvin's legionary will, their individual willpower would not have been able to withstand this level of information impact.
The establishment of this kind of thinking similar to gods and demons is inseparable from the psychic talents of all Gray Knights and the support of Calvin's legionary will.
And in this idealistic universe, what is more difficult to change than matter is precisely the natural thinking mode of a race based on its own flesh and blood;
It determines the soul quality of the members of this race, and also determines the maximum limit of this race.
The arrival of Calvin gave birth to this kind of writing;
This kind of writing, spread by the Emperor's bloodline, allows humans, a race with all hidden psychic talents, to unleash their full potential;
In turn, Calvin's legionary will ensures that mankind will make steady and orderly progress in the "release" process on the road to realizing their spiritual talents.
Neither has gone astray, using desire as the release direction of talent like the Eldar;
Nor did it suddenly break out when there was no way out and become the prey of other higher beings.
The three are indispensable, and the three achieve each other by chance...
Therefore, when this kind of text gradually spreads in the Gray Knights Legion, and even after all Gray Knights are upgraded, it will eventually become an unshakable part of the Legion's will in the future;
This kind of writing eventually began to spread to all psykers, bringing about a wider impact, which was something that the original creator of the "inscription", Calvin, had never expected.
These are all things for later, so I won’t mention them here for now.
The documents related to the Ulysses Sector did not stay in the hands of the two for long. Shortly after the mortal judge left, it was delivered to Calvin along with the documents compiled by other tribunals.<
/p>
These filtered and summarized documents are roughly divided into three categories, and the covers of the documents are also marked in three different colors based on their importance and timeliness.
The first type of documents are marked in yellow and represent things that Calvin needs to know.
Although such incidents are important, they usually do not require Calvin's intervention or statement. In most cases, the reporting of such documents is just a product of the trial court's respect for his right to know.
Category II files are marked in orange, which usually means that the monitored events in certain areas are beginning to deteriorate, or that certain events that have been processed are beginning to recur.
Most of these documents have been processed by the tribunal based on its own experience and internal procedures.
However, due to risk considerations, it is still necessary to complete the filing in the hands of the person in charge at the star domain level, so that after all the parties involved are killed, someone can still know the specific details of the incident.
The third category of files is the most difficult and is usually marked in red.
In fact, after many layers of screening, these matters still cannot be resolved. The matters represented by the documents that are reported to Calvin step by step are the real work of Calvin as the person in charge of the star field level.
Such as the review of galaxy-level extermination orders;
Signing of crusade documents after a certain star district or even sector-level administrative area is recognized as a heretic;
Support and deployment of the armed forces of the star domain authorities on the battlefield in a certain direction;
And finally, together with colleagues from other star fields, accept work guidance and orders from the Terra direction headquarters.
Calvin now has such a document from Terra in his hands, but his identity is here, and of course this document cannot be described in a commanding tone.
The content of this document describes the suppression process of the rebellion war in the Jotun sector near the Orps sector during Calvin's absence from the High Lords Council, and the resulting series of personnel changes.<
/p>
The empire's efforts to quell the rebellion there were not smooth, and this was deeply related to the fact that the rebellion originally originated from the tyranny of the imperial governor.
The local rebels themselves have a deeper mass base than the imperial troops drawn from outside, and the commanders who subsequently took over the war did not have enough patience.
After more than ten years of suppression, more and more rebels have been suppressed in the Jordan sector, and the empire's controllable area there has become smaller and smaller.
The sector is losing patience with the ineffective war here. If the endless investment of troops and materials cannot be ended, then the only thing waiting for the people here is a cruel extermination order.
Under this background, it is normal to replace the incompetent person in charge, and it is also appropriate to establish a higher-level joint command system based on the original combat organization.
What Calvin paid attention to was not these, but the fact that the war was not progressing smoothly and the turbulent thoughts began to show signs of spreading to the surrounding star areas;
The Imperial Senate decided to cut the knot quickly and invest enough power to solve the problem at once.
In short, in this sector filled with war and death, a war lord is about to be appointed.
This is undoubtedly a super-standard handling method, especially when Calvin, the permanent seat, is absent, it can be called a model of high efficiency.
Coincidentally, in the candidate list for this War Lord, Calvin happened to see the name of Juan Nelson, the former Imperial Admiral High Lord who he had just appointed and the current Governor of the Hassan Sector.<
/p>
Whose suggestion was this? Calvin continued reading patiently, and as expected, he saw the signatures of several "acquaintances" in the recommendation column behind Juan Nelson's name.
So what does this mean?
Are you saying that I will promote people who you, Calvin, cannot promote?
Or are you saying that the heroes that you, Calvin, cannot place, will have a better future under my command?
In any case, this subtle provocation and almost blatant differentiation method made him clearly perceive the malicious intent from the other party.
Calvin rubbed his chin and said nothing for a long time. After a long silence, he looked at these still warm words coming from Terra and smiled casually.
Did he do too much as a good old guy not long after he was promoted and gave others the wrong understanding?
Or have they forgotten what kind of unit they are facing and really think that the Inquisition is a piece of cake?
He wanted to see if any of his subordinates dared to jump out and stroke his beard at this time.
Only thunderous means can reveal the heart of a Bodhisattva. No one needs to teach this truth. Calvin knew it well.
The smile on Calvin's face faded in the next moment following the order in his mouth, and when the adjutant walked up to him, only his cold eyes remained.
"Telegram to the Senate of Terra that I agree with the proposal for the appointment of War Lords regarding the Jotun Rebellion. As for the candidate for this position, Juan Nelson is the one. He is very good. I cautiously agree with the opinion of Lord Prime Minister Winston."<
