Chapter 211 So what’s the price?
After getting this new but ancient and wealthy Rogue Trader’s reaffirmation of his product list and supply capacity, Governor Alexey couldn’t help but sigh. Take a breath.
The whispers in the small rooms in the surrounding corridors became more frequent. According to the ears of Lamizane and his guards, the content of those whispers seemed to be very likely to develop into an argument or even a decisive victory through martial arts. negative trend.
"What's wrong with you? Lord Governor," Mr. Carosini looked at the other party with his ice blue eyes in confusion. The color of his eyes is really beautiful even by human standards. , will remind the planetary governor of the colors deep in the thick permafrost glaciers at the North and South Poles. "Is it because my catalog of goods is not rich enough to satisfy you?"
"Of course not, Your Excellency Carosini," Governor Alexey replied with a melancholy temperament like a chant, "I was just thinking that our world, Carrick, is too desolate and barren. Although the things you brought us are so powerful... I mean, they are all great. In fact, we all want them, but our... …ThroneCoin reserves may not be enough to pay for everything we want to buy.”
He paused, and one hand seemed to tighten the armrest of his seat, "So..."
The Rogue Trader opposite immediately interrupted the Planetary Governor's next words a little loudly, "So you can use other things on Carrick as a price to exchange for my goods!"

[Lami Zane Carlo Sydney! I'm really...what are you doing! Why did you interrupt him? Obviously, we can send out the signal and take action directly! I have just been locked by the fire control systems of at least ten weapons! There are two more that should lock you in. In addition, those wall panels are hollow, and there are automatic shooting cannons on the flip mechanisms inside, and there are snipers lying behind the decorative carved panels under the ceiling. 】
【Oh! What a flip-flop! It fits the descriptions of those novels during the War of the Roses so well! This looks a bit like my impression of meeting at the Planetary Governor's Mansion... Wait a minute, I feel like I'm still a little bit closer to finding out what's wrong, really, trust me. 】
【snort! This is just a desolate place, I really don't understand why you are operating so carefully! Two Glory Queens and so many Terminators and Stormbirds, heavy vehicles, Primarchs and Astartes... According to my simulation calculations, even if it is a complete frontal attack, the number of Planetary Defense Forces in the Governor's Mansion and the adjacent barracks will be I can't even last 15 minutes! Of course, although there is almost no astrological communication now, just in case, just let Dassadra and the others blast the small astrological tower into the sky with a salvo of missiles before starting. 】
【Really? It sounds like... So what is the training and equipment level of the Planetary Defense Force that you placed for them during the simulated battle? 】
At this point, Perturabo calmed down a little, [Of course, it is based on the statistical average level of the human-dominated area - this is still a serious overestimation for them! Because my Ironblood doesn't need to use as much raw manpower for pre-firing preparations as those useless Imperial ships. 】
【Uh, you actually have such statistics that require control areas and dominance. Isn’t this better than the Imperial Ministry of the Interior? And the Iron Blood is indeed...I said you can do this, why don't you just lead your descendants to attack Holy Terra and seize it...]
[That's not something people want to fight for. Good thing, that thing has a dark future. If it weren't for the fact that it was Holy Terra, it wouldn't be as good as starting from scratch... Now is not the time to talk about that - the data I used comes from the average combat level of the Planetary Defense Forces in the 31st Millennium, about which I have a lot of information Real inventory data is available for statistics. 】
【Well. Yes, that's true. In this case, let me ask out of curiosity, if we use the level of the Sun Auxiliary Army as the defense force of Governor Carrick's Mansion, how long will it take for us to launch a frontal attack? 】
[This assumption is not valid. The Carrick Planetary Defense Force does not have as many armors, weapons, advanced vehicles and heavy firepower as the Solar Auxiliary Army. The quality of the soldiers is good, but the level of training cannot be reached. extent at that time. 】
【Hypothesis! So hypothetically, can our existing manpower be able to handle it? 】
【If this is hypothetical, then all of our heavy vehicles and senior officers must be fired to ensure that the ground combat time is controlled to within 15 minutes. For example, their orbital defense platform needs to be destroyed first. Then they arrived at the location to drop the Dreadclaws from the automatic fire point, and then dropped the Iron Cavalry Tyrant Terminator team led by Dassadra and Endred Hal's 8th Company "Thunder Fang" team, followed by the Destroyers and so on. 】【Hmm...that sounds acceptable. I suggest getting the Ironblood armed with more Destroyers now, and preferably more units with heavy flamethrowers. 】
The dog frowned in the small passenger compartment and stretched out its paws to tap, [Can you still accept it? Flamethrower? What did you find? 】
【Hmm...if you add that the Carrick Defense Force has large-scale weapons equal to the security level here? 】
【That would be very troublesome, unless all of Endred's companies are equipped with double-layer individual defense positions, but their power armor energy is completely unable to compete with the energy source of the MARK ⅩⅡ that I modified. Even if they temporarily install them, they won't be able to open their shields. So don't think about it! In addition, according to the scan, the energy level of the weapons of these guards was indeed extremely high to an extremely dangerous level, but they were restrained intact, but the results of my re-scan just now told me...]
[Tell you. The principles of these weapons are probably somewhat correct, but the actual materials and processes used to make them are too crude. The energy magazines of these firearms should have melted the restraint shells and exploded the place into a huge deep pit. Yes, right? 】
[Yes,] Perturabo's tone was very contradictory, as if he was half surprised and half annoyed, with a strange unconvinced anger. [These weapons... these things do not conform to any known data and formula calculations in terms of their normal operation! 】
[I knew...it was indeed the case. 】
【What? ! ] The dog sounded like he wanted to jump up and hit the Riddler on the head, but the stirring of the Fourth Primarch's soul showed that he was really not completely angry, but rather strangely happy and excited.
[Facts have proved that caution is always an excellent virtue before starting a war. Although I will also loudly praise the heroes who charge bravely and the powerful warriors who enter the enemy's formation, no amount of caution is enough in this universe. But, Perturabo, have you heard of the story of the wolf on Fenris? 】
——————————
The planetary governor frowned slightly.
But he did not get angry, but asked doubtfully, "Other prices? Is there anything else in our world that I don't know that can be traded? So what is the price, Mr. Carosini."
The Rogue Trader looked at Governor Alexey with his ice-blue eyes with a slight smile.
"For that matter, a piece of land that can be surrounded by a hundred Grox hides is enough. I think."
