Chapter 1621 Asking for help from Reza
“What an incredible miracle.”
Looking at the magnificent artificial isthmus and the artificial island housing the Titan squadron, Soshiyang thought for a moment and said softly :
“Great Sage Ultramok, I don’t want to hide some things anymore. I hope this expedition can get the support of Reza.”
“Terra and Mars has given us orders to support the expedition, and we will do so."
That's what he said, but Soshyan knew very well that perfunctory support and voluntary and full support are not the same concept. The former may only bring out one thousandth of Reza's strength, but the latter may exert this casting power. One hundred percent of the world's energy.
Just like the Titan Legion, even if Reza only brought out a Titan squad to support Soshiyang, he couldn't say anything.
"Great Sage, I think there are still many areas where we can cooperate in various fields."
"Oh?"
The one in Ultramok's metal eye socket The visual device flickers slightly, as if simulating the action of a person blinking.
"Aren't we always cooperating?"
"It's not just limited to plasma weapons."
Hearing Soshiyang's words, the great sage nodded slightly.
"Then what do you need from us?"
"I am not sure that this expedition will be resolved quickly. It may develop into a protracted war of attrition. At that time The expeditionary force needs a stable supplier of supplies and equipment. However, the production capacity and functions of the several small forging worlds around the Maelstrom are not as complete as those of Reza. Moreover, they are always under the threat of red pirates and may not be able to fully support us. .”
"But we also have other orders that need to be completed. Mars has assigned us many production targets and tasks. You may not know that the Foundry General has always been hostile to us. No matter how we plead, it will only send us more. We have production tasks ranging from the Astra Militarum to the Astartes Chapter, and even the ships and equipment of several sectors of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior have to be produced by us. After a large number of production lines are crowded, our trade products have declined year by year, resulting in The scale of production is further restricted, and this is how to cast a general."
Soshiyang took a deep breath, walked to the railing, put his hands on the railing, and looked at the gradually appearing filthy ocean,
According to the detailed historical records of Reza, like Ancient Terra, Reza was once a blue planet with most of the ground covered by a liquid ocean. But like Terra, it was also a planet where humans were highly developed. In the industrial civilization of China, this kind of ocean has long since disappeared, replaced by a large number of super giant reservoirs and giant water bodies composed of industrial wastewater and sewage as wide as the ocean blocked by dams, and where these water bodies gather It is called the "Rebirth Sea".
Due to hundreds of thousands of years of continuous discharge of sewage and waste, as well as the destruction of various wastes here, the reactions of a large number of substances in those water bodies are so complex that even the Reza people themselves are not very familiar with it. Understand the current specific composition of the Regeneration Sea. After all, all kinds of industrial production waste throughout Reza can eventually be traced back to the bottom of this Regeneration Sea.
But on the colorful and slightly dim water, Soshyan saw some large tugboats. From this height, they looked a bit like seabirds on the ocean.
From the Isthmus of Atonement, recovery fleets will periodically depart. The only purpose of these fleets is to recover anything that may be useful in the Regeneration Sea. For this reason, these fleets are equipped with a large number of servitors specially designed to deal with harsh environments. These servitors will assist the priests in the exploration, archiving and inspection of various potentially useful resources, so that subsequent fleets can transport these resources to various recycling plants in Reza for reuse.
With these methods, Reza has unparalleled self-sustainability under extreme circumstances. Even if there is no input of external resources, Reza can maintain it for a considerable period of time, even in the Era of Strife. So does the worst case scenario.
"Great Sage, the Maelstrom Area is rich in resources, whether it is minerals, manpower, or other products."
Soshyan paused and turned his head.
“As long as I am in the position of commander-in-chief, you don’t need to worry about any trade issues.”
"I believe this, but I need to remind you that most trade routes and resource areas are currently under the control of trade lords and red pirates."
"So Reza's investment will have a huge return , Of course there are some risks.”
The light in the Great Sage’s eyes flashed twice, and then he let out a clear laugh.
"It's worth it." With these two words, Suoshiyang unexpectedly heard some emotions. Only then did he realize that the great sage had never really let the logic operator dominate him. In the body, what maintains oneself is still human nature and considerations.
"However, Commander Soshyan, I'm afraid you need more than just material and equipment support, right?"
"Yes, there is also Reza's world-famous militant army."
"Then those forging worlds that followed your expedition, did they provide such help?"
Soshiyan shook his head.
“No.”
"Do you know the reason?"
"Yes."
"That's it. I have already said that we will obey the orders of Terra and Mars."
>Soshyan also knew that it was impossible to take away the entire militant army, but he estimated that he could take away at least two detachments, but now it seems that Reza can take away one detachment.
However, he cannot force the opponent. After all, Titan is the most precious divine machine of the Mechanicus. If it is damaged too much in the battle, it will indeed be a serious blow to the overall strength of the Forge World.
It is easy to let others add to the cake, but it is difficult to let others risk their lives to accompany you.
The airship has now arrived at the coast of the Boshi Continent.
Boshi Continent is two continents that were developed after the Origin Continent. In the first few centuries of Reza's colonization, there was basically no systematic colonization here. This situation continued until the western corner of the southern continent. , began to establish the forge of the Sacred Mechanics of the Reza people, which completely ended the lack of full development of the southern continent.
The earliest one built was a huge fortress built on the basis of a hollowed-out mountain range. It was the steel fortress of the great Militant Legion. Its suburbs were also surrounded by fortresses dedicated to serving the Militant Legion. A complex of space ports and related industries dedicated to various Titan legions.
The center of the continent is the largest city in Reza today: Endeavor City.
After thinking for a while, Soshyan decided to get to the crux of the problem.
"Great Sage, how much force can the Militant Legion mobilize to participate in the expedition this time? Can the Knight Family of the Forge World provide additional support?"
But the other party did not answer this question. Instead he asked:
"Commander Soshyan, do you have confidence in this expedition?"
"Yes."
"How many?"
After a moment of silence, Soshiyang said softly:
"I can't answer this question until everything is ready."
