Chapter 3477 Specialized Armed Forces
It is shocking to put things like the Holy Flame Cult of Astartes there, but if you know, you will definitely not be able to oppose it. Saint Livend is like a mirror in his heart. After all, for so long, the Pope must have known that he didn't say anything, what can he say?
Fortunately, he is indeed a flexible politician, so he immediately chose the most advantageous method - to slid down.
In government affairs, he acted a lot, often visited various places, pretending to be very busy, but in fact he was concerned about some small things that were not painful, such as orphan welfare institutes. He often held military parades to show his presence, but never interfered in specific military affairs. In academic affairs, he focused on educational affairs, such as allocating funds to the new seminary, or participating in some theological lectures. On the surface, it seemed that he was really grasping the "fundamental problem".
However, this is just a two-sided act of please. On the one hand, he explained the Pope far away in Terra and did his homework, indicating that he had done a lot, showing that the cathedral is still under the control of the state religion, and on the other hand, he did not have any substantial conflicts with Ustad and the Holy Flame Order.
Before coming, Soshiyan learned about these situations in detail, so he had a good sense of the new pope.
Regardless of the character, at least you know what you are, it is easier for such people to get along with.
"Suo Shiyang is ashamed of accepting such a great gift. Please get up."
After saying this, Soshiyan retracted his gaze and looked at Ustad, then walked over with a smile on his face.
"Ustad, you have done a good job over the years, thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he gently patted Ustad on the shoulder with his hand, which slowed down Ustad, who had originally had a little nervous expression, and then nodded and said:
"There are still many things that are not good at doing well, which is the problem of my lack of ability."
"It's already very good."
Soshiyan followed by another one, including the sixth company commander Armin, the seventh company commander Murad, the eighth company commander Garian, the tenth company commander Bahram, and five company commanders of the White Temple. Soshiyan also paid extra attention to the new seventh company commander Kosas, the former seventh company commander Mitridati, who was killed in a battle two years ago. In order not to affect the battle, Ustad let a senior sergeant of the seventh company succeed the company commander and sent a message to Soshiyan. Soshiyan had no objection to this.
This is also the first time that Soshiyang has been killed at the company commander level after he reorganized the legion, which shows that Tyron is really troublesome.
Alash also had a brief exchange with the company commanders of the battle group
Soshiyang then expressed their affirmation of their efforts to stick to the cathedral over the years. After all, Soshiyang's original plan was to be rotated, but due to a series of emergencies, the plan was not implemented, and even all the allies of the Alliance of Suffering were withdrawn and no company was sent. This was equivalent to the fact that the Eleventh Legion was completely supporting the entire theater during this period.
Although Tyron's offensive pressure has weakened, it does not mean that there is less battle. The scattered nest is still very troublesome and requires long-term alertness and frequent mobilization.
Even if it is a war machine, it will be exhausted to maintain a combat state for a long time. It is conceivable that the company commanders who stick to the front line have worked very hard.
"The commander of the battle group, prepare for the military parade."
Ustad spoke cautiously, as if worried that Soshyan would refuse, but the other party replied with a smile:
"I was just about to see how the faith guardians are."
Soshiyang then came to the viewing platform of the Holy City with a group of people. There were a little more people here, with some representatives of the ruling class and representatives of the Mechanical Cultivation, mainly from Zhao Akhada. On the plains north of the city, the temporary parade square was ready. When the power boots stepped on the red carpet covered with roses, the trumpet set up on the top of the Confessor Cathedral sounded at the same time, and the choirs deployed on both sides of the parade passage began to sing the "Emperor's Hymn".
Then there was the sound of the studded military boots stepping neatly on the floor tiles. At the front of the phalanx of the Faith Watching Infantry were three hundred officers wearing bulletproof armor and silver-gray robes. The masks and armor on their faces were etched with proverbs on the surface. Many of the limbs were replaced by mechanical prosthetics, indicating that they were all veterans who had experienced the battle formation. The front row held high the battle flag of the Faith Watching Infantry. Many of the flags inside were seriously damaged, leaving traces of acid erosion and tear, and even turned into cloth strips.
They held the sword, and at the same time turned their heads to look at the viewing platform 1,000 meters away, and sent slogans.
"Salute to the eternal guardian of faith of the throne!"
Soshiyan also raised his hand and responded through the horn:
"Salute to all the warriors who have dedicated themselves to faith and justice!"
After the officers, they believed in the real infantry phalanx. This armed force that had experienced the terrifying invasion of Tyron has transformed from the original militia into an elite division. They formed a vast torrent, and they would go all the way from afar, paying loud tribute when passing by the viewing platform.
".The number of people guarding faith is around 2 billion, including the Defender aircraft cluster network. If the space aviation force is removed, the total number will be around 1.5 billion. The total organization is 5,112 armies, 1,200 first-line field army, with a total of about 350 million. The rest are second-line garrison troops. This is the ultimate force that the cathedral can bear. If there are more, it will cause serious burdens on each planet and even affect logistics and equipment production."
Just when Ustad introduced, Soshyan noticed that some infantry phalanxes had Tyron's skulls or claws as decorations on the flags held by them, so he immediately guessed that they were elite front-line field troops.
"Those are front-line field military formations?"
"Yes, decorating the battle flag with Tyron is a privilege and honor for the front-line field army."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Well, very good, your arrangement is very good."
In the infantry phalanx, there are also mechanical shrines pushed by the atonement servants. It is normal for this kind of thing to appear in the state sect armed forces, but Ustad also gave an additional explanation.
"There are all the remains of heroes. They all showed extraordinary courage or created miraculous achievements during their lifetime. The sect then collected their remains as a means of publicity and motivation."
When the infantry phalanx passed, dozens of horror lion tanks covered with sutra strips rumbled out. Their bodies were tied with Tyron's skulls, which seemed to be used to mark their number of kills. Some tanks looked scarred, but had another kind of courage.
In addition to the horror tanks, there are also a certain number of Rieman Russ tanks, which are also decorated with alien skeletons, and behind them are sentinel mechas, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery.
It can be seen that the weapons and equipment of Faith Watch have been highly specialized, and almost all are designed to deal with the Tyran Zerg. For example, there are a large number of Hellhound Fire Spitzers in the armored formation, as well as a two-legged Flying Dragon self-propelled mortar that suppresses large numbers of small targets. In addition, the snake lizard air defense missile vehicle has also become the standard equipment of Faith Watch, and almost all armored vehicles will prepare 1-2 heavy flamethrowers as auxiliary weapons. In the infantry formation, the proportion of flamethrowers and hot melt is relatively high, and the type of support weapons is even a bit similar to that of combat nuns.
