Chapter 1689 Division of War Zones
The second war zone includes the entire Kliman Drift Zone and the Holy Point Galaxy. Raif, the chapter leader of the Tianshi Chapter, was appointed as the commander of the second war zone, commanding three One million Cadian Strike Forces and two million Krieg Legions, plus 3.5 million other fragmented Astra Militarum regiments, for a total of 8.5 million troops.
The third war zone extends from the planet Sengrad to the Grief System. The commander of the war zone is Korsaro Khan. It includes four million Cadian Lightning Troops, two million Krieg Legions, and two million The fragmented Astra Militarum regiment has a total of eight million people, and the Charaton fleet will also be sent to the third theater. In addition, in principle, the Angstrom system also belongs to the third theater. Soshyan has already informed the foundry about this matter. The other side of the world sent a notification and hoped that the other party would allow imperial troops to station, but they never responded.
The fourth theater is the Pale Star and its surrounding areas. The commander of the theater is Malakin. At the same time, the ranger warriors are also sent here. This theater governs two million Cadian lightning troops and two million Cree. The Gekko Legion, one million fragmented Astra Militarum regiments, and all Catachan troops, totaling 5.5 million Astra Militarum, their main responsibility is to clear the surrounding greenskin strongholds and relieve the pressure on the first theater of operations.
The fifth theater is composed of several galaxies in the Endymion star cluster close to the Magg star cluster, including the Iblis galaxy, the Slgard galaxy, and the Endymion galaxy. The commander of this theater is Tu'shirt, the leader of the Salamanders Chapter, has 6 million Astra Militarum under his command.
The sixth war zone consists of the Plenty Galaxy, the Kirab Galaxy, the Tranquility Galaxy and the Relic Guardian Galaxy. Because this war zone is closest to the Red Pirates' lair in the center of the maelstrom, Soshyan handed it over to the Chapter Master of the White Templar. Arash also controls reinforcements from the Hammer of Dorn, the Iron Knight and the Crimson Fist. The combat zone strength is temporarily 10 million Astra Militarum, and its main task is to monitor the enemies deep in the Maelstrom.
Soshiyan made this kind of deployment and arrangement not only for strategic considerations, such as Malakin's garrison in the Fourth Theater, but also because the Optra system in the Fourth Theater used to be The Weeper's home planet obviously has a better understanding of this area and it is easier to mobilize local forces. After all, the last Badab War was not that long ago.
In addition, Tu'shan was arranged to go to the fifth theater because it was from this position that Salamander intervened in the Badab War and attacked the hinterland of Star Claw. They believed that they still retained the experience from that time.
In addition to the six theaters, Soshyan has also established three strategic reserves. The first reserve is stationed in the vast area between Siniaks and the Tranquility System, containing 10 million The Astra Militarum, the second strategic reserve force is stationed between the Holy Point System and the Senglad System, and also contains 10 million Astra Militarum forces. The third strategic reserve force is stationed between the Sorrow System and the Iblis System. , containing eight million Astra Militarum.
After such deployment, the only strategic mobility forces left in Soshyan's hands are 30 million Astra Militarum and Astral Knights, Black Templars, Imperial Fists, and Flesh Tearers. , ascetics, mantis warriors and more than two thousand space warriors, as well as several forces of the Mechanicus, including the militant Titan Legion. This kind of force is unable to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Hurons anyway, so we still have to wait.
However, the first step of the originally planned strategic plan can now be implemented. According to Soshiyan's plan, the Tianshi Chapter will launch an attack from the Kemara System to the Decabulus System controlled by the Red Pirates after the troops are in place. attack, forcing Huron to turn his attention to his old homeland.
At that time, the Red Pirates will have to devote the limited troops on hand to endless battles with tens of millions of Astra Militarum troops. Soshyan does not seek victory, but only seeks to consume the opponent.
While weakening and consuming the Red Pirates, they are stepping up training of new recruits. When the billions of troops are fully trained, they will be able to launch a full-scale attack on the opponent.
As for how many reinforcements the empire will receive in the future, in fact, Soshiyang no longer expects these. After this period of tossing, he has clearly understood one thing - it is better to rely on no one than to rely on Figure it out yourself.
After the meeting, the various troops and battle groups set out one after another to deploy in the designated combat zones. This also made the previously crowded Sagan system finally feel a little more relaxed, but everyone was busier than before, because as the As the army spreads out, the logistics and transportation network must also follow up quickly. In addition, Soshyan has urged the recruitment of new soldiers three times in a row. After seeing the sad ending of the Renteria family, all the nobles dare to relax and start fighting desperately. According to the minimum standards set by the Ministry of Military Affairs, some hive city rulers openly shouted the slogan of recruiting a company to be the company commander and a regiment to be the regiment leader in order to encourage those gangs to join the army. The 300 million recruits in the first phase of the recruitment were finally in place the second month after Soshyan made the strategic deployment. At the same time, five large training camps were basically completed, and the recruits were immediately put into training grounds like small cities. Begin their transformation from gang members, hive citizens, vagrants, scavengers to soldiers.
In addition, the war against Angstrom has also been put on the agenda by Soshyan. His loyalty to this world has given up hope. There has been no news about the previously agreed meeting. It is obvious that the other party is preparing Stubborn to the end.
However, Soshyan did not show anger. Instead, he sent letters and official documents to the other party again and again, with his attitude sometimes being tough and sometimes softening, just to paralyze those Mechanicus believers and let them predict that they would be in a short time. He won't lay hands on them and make them think that he is a waver.
Soshiyang has also discussed this matter with Reza. They are very supportive of Soshiyang, because Angstrom has been against Reza for many years, even without Mars' instructions. Out of their own interests, they are also madly hostile to Reza. Many of Reza's exploration ships and archaeological teams were attacked by them in the Maelstrom, so when Soshyan showed the idea of taking action against Angstrom, Reza The sages who followed the army did not even report to the headquarters, but directly stated that they were willing to contribute. Their only hope was to support a new management that believed in the Omnissian Flame-Blood Sect after wiping out the old Angstrom class.
But Soshyan did not respond immediately. After all, he had good reasons to fight Angstrom. But if he accepted Reza's request, the nature of the war might change and become Soshyan. Helping Reza fight a religious war could easily cause Mars to overreact.
Soshyan never intended to fall out with Mars.
Therefore, the plan for Angstrom is still being prepared secretly. Soshyan must ensure that he succeeds in one blow. If the attack fails for a long time, the possibility of Huron's intervention is very high, or it will definitely intervene.
Just as a series of deployments by the imperial military began to be carried out in full swing, the Red Pirates were not idle either. Soshiyang soon received a piece of bad news from afar——
Ke The Erkeria system fell, and the local residents rioted under the influence of heretics. They cooperated with the red pirates and killed almost all members of the imperial organization and the Imperial Guard. Only a few tens of thousands of soldiers and imperial officials fled in spaceships.
On the second day after the Sagan Astrology Hall received the news of the fall of the Corkria system, a representative of Angstrom suddenly found Soshyan and told him that the foundry director there agreed. He met Soshyan one month later at the previously selected planet Galen V.
