Chapter 1775 Think Tank is Fearless
In addition to the extremely high number of enemy annihilations, there are also many sacrifices worth mentioning, such as the heroic and fearless fighter pilots of Angerstöm. The entire naval battle Angstörm was lost. There were more than 20,000 fighter jets and hundreds of thousands of pilots. It was precisely because of their sacrifices that the Imperial Fleet was able to repel the Red Pirate Fleet and save Liuli 3 despite the inferior firepower. Therefore, Soshiyang asked Angstrom's All flying wings sent commendation telegrams, and plans were made to award a victory flag to all participating flying wings.
The sailors who also participated in the war also sacrificed more than 1.9 million. Most of them were unknown, but they also made achievements that were not inferior to those of the space warriors. In the future, Soshyan plans to use enemy ships in this airspace The wreckage of the ship was cast into a monument to commemorate the unknown heroes who died. In addition, he asked the rear department to give at least a standard pension to the relatives of these fallen crew members. This may be the only thing he can do for the unknown ordinary people who sacrificed their lives in the war. Things to do - Although many of the crew members themselves have lived on the ship for generations, the loss of a battleship often represents the collective destruction of countless families.
In addition, most of the Red Pirates who landed on the satellite were eventually eliminated, because the Mechanicum's fighter planes have password locks, and even the pilots cannot fly them without the authorization of the Mechanicus Priest. Only a few lucky ones can They escaped, but only a few of them could actually return to the Red Pirate Fleet. Most of the fighters taken away by the Red Pirates eventually became cold iron coffins in the void after their fuel was exhausted.
This also led to a new problem in this naval battle——
captive.
In addition to those trapped in the fighter planes, there were also some heretical space warriors who were thrown into the void during the naval battle, but survived with the sealing and survivability of the power armor. There were also some who were seriously injured and feigned death. Later statistics found that there were 283 Space Marine prisoners. This was more surprising than the elimination of thousands of heretics. After all, although the Empire had captured some heretics in the past, most of them were just one or two here and there. This kind of mass The capture is the first time in thousands of years.
After careful consideration, Soshyan decided to hand over most of the prisoners to Marcus except for a few special guys. This will be very helpful for him to become the Grand Inquisitor in the future.
As for the prisoners he left behind, they did not have any special purpose, just because they were not native Chaos Space Marines transformed by the Red Pirates, but people who had rebelled from some loyal war groups. Among them were a former sergeant of the Lamenters, a tech sergeant from the Mantis Warriors, and even a White Scar recruit and a Bloodclaw from the Space Wolves. These people Soshiyang planned to "return them to their original owners" and let them Those war groups should deal with it themselves. After all, some war groups have notoriously bad relations with the Inquisition.
Soshiyang was actually quite puzzled as to what made these warriors who were supposed to be proud and fearless of death eventually embark on the path of rebellion and depravity. He personally interrogated some of them and got the answers. Different, some were injured in the battle and captured, some followed the company on the expedition but the warship was trapped in subspace and was eventually salvaged by the red pirates, some witnessed some dark side of the empire, so they had doubts about their faith.
But overall, there are probably two words -
Despair.
Soshiyan had to lament that despair is really the most powerful force in the galaxy, and it can actually defeat a space warrior with a rock-solid will.
However, there are not exceptions. Six hours after the war, when Soshiyang was still dealing with various chores, he received unexpected news that the Mechanicus had recovered from the wreckage of the Liuli 3 battleship. Something special.
"This is."
Arriving at the armory, Soshyan carefully looked at the things in front of him and felt very surprised.
This is a Dreadnought, not a hell beast, but a serious Dreadnought. If he hadn't found it from the wreckage of the Red Pirate's battleship, Soshyan would hardly have thought it was a Chaos warband. It's the property of, and what's even more special is that the whole thing is not that crazy crimson red, but silvery blue. The armor still has burned scroll strips printed on it, and an almost forgotten symbol is engraved on one side, a The head of a roaring beast.
If Soshyan remembers correctly, this is the symbol of the Star Claw Chapter in the past.
To be able to carry such a clear trace of loyalty in a Chaos warband, Soshyan speculated that either this person was very respected by Huron, or he was very hated by Huron.
Soshiyang walked around the sleeping fearless and noticed that the opponent's sarcophagus was somewhat different from the ordinary fearless, and that there was a psychic weapon mounted on his arm, so he turned to look at Luo Gris.
"Think tank?"
The Forging Master nodded.
"Yes, a Think Tank Dreadnought." The so-called Think Tank Dreadnought is actually not very different from the standard Dreadnought in appearance. The biggest difference is that the person buried in it is not an ordinary Space Marine, but a Think Tank. Therefore, The helmets on the sarcophagus are often carved into the form of psychic hoods. In addition, this kind of fearless is usually equipped with a stance weapon that can exert psychic powers at close range. These two are the easiest ways to identify the think tank's fearless, because the think tank itself is It is rare, and even fewer can be buried in fearlessness after being injured, so Soshiyang has only seen this kind of fearlessness in files, and this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.
After looking around again, he asked:
"What's its specific condition?"
"Well, according to the scan results, the transformation time is no more than 50 years. The person inside has had his limbs removed, but his torso and brain are intact. In addition, he is also equipped with psychic suppression. ”
“Removed?”
“Yes, according to the scanned outline, his limbs were probably removed rather than damaged in battle.”
Sosh. Yang nodded thoughtfully. Just as he had thought before, this man Huron either respected very much or hated very much. It seemed obvious now
He walked to the front of Dauntless, and then found a line of names under the sarcophagus.
"Sartak."
This name Soshyan has no impression. Unfortunately, there are no people from the original Maelstrom Guardian Alliance around him. Otherwise, you can ask this think tank. thing.
"Are there any risks in not waking it up?"
Roglis walked up and pointed to the instrument aside.
"Its brain waves are extremely disordered, which indicates that its brain has been severely stimulated. Considering that it seems to have been injected with sedatives recently, I speculate that it has been awake for a long time. Just imagine A person is sealed motionless in the darkness without any senses. This is probably the most cruel punishment in the world. If it is awakened at this time, then it will be no different from a hell beast. Considering that it is a think tank, I am afraid Much more dangerous than ordinary hell beasts."
"In other words, he is crazy?"
"Psychologically speaking, that is true, but there is no disease in his brain. .”
“In this case.”
After thinking for a moment, Soshyan opened his personal communicator and called someone to come.
Some readers may not understand why the losses in this battle were so outrageous. There are actually three reasons.
The first is that the Red Pirates implemented gang-hopping tactics, but the survival rate of the gang-hopping troops when intercepted by fighter jets was extremely low, and they were basically lost.
The second problem is the organization of the Red Pirates themselves. Its main components are still a large number of fragmented war gangs, just like the gangs of more than ten or twenty people written in my book. They generally do not have big ships. They all use small boats, and they won't stay on the boats of Huron's cronies, because a boat is basically equivalent to a hometown for a war gang, so although the losses of warships on both sides seem to be about the same, csm will also be killed if the red pirates blow up the small boats, and The protagonist puts all the people on the battle barges and battleships. The personnel are very concentrated and there is no gang jumping, so as long as the battle barges and battleships don't explode, there will be basically no deaths
The third is that the red pirates are destroying. Too many personnel were invested in the ships and satellites, and these personnel were basically lost in the end
With these three points, there were such high casualties
