Chapter 1864 Secretly dispatching reinforcements
Soshiyan recalled the message Yaric sent from Sagan not long ago, which mentioned that the Terran envoy frequently communicated with Sagan’s local nobles and imperial institutions. The leaders met. Although they were not able to intervene in the military operations of the expeditionary force for the time being due to Yarek's tough attitude, part of Soshyan's previously formulated strategy had been destroyed.
Especially the blockade orders against smuggling and black markets.
In addition, the special envoy seemed to have arranged for people to investigate the criminal aristocrats who had been punished by Soshyan before. The name was to check whether there were "unjust, false and wrongful convictions", but in fact there was a clear tendency to overturn the convictions.
I think the press control order issued before was also broken by the special envoy, and the other party kept sending him letters hoping to meet with him in person and convey some "instructions" from the High Lords Council.
But if he doesn't come to Angstrom, then he means asking Soshyan to return to Sagan.
At this critical moment of the war, Soshiyang will definitely not be able to escape. So apart from wanting to cause trouble, he can't think of a second reason for the other party's actions.
In addition, the Man-Eating Shark Group who came to the Maelstrom without a word behaved very strangely. They just stopped in place and did nothing, as if they were waiting for something. This made Arash uncomfortable. No effort is devoted to spying on them.
Looking at this, Soshiyang suppressed his anger and sneered:
"The high lords seem to think that I am not playing well enough, so why not just replace me with someone else? Why bother with these little tricks?”
After hearing this, everyone looked at him with different expressions. Lysander, who was more familiar with Terra, sighed softly and comforted:
"After all, you are the first person to control such a huge force since the Great Rebellion. Commander Astartes, it is normal for Terra to have some doubts, but don’t worry, as long as the Phalanx is still flying in Terra’s orbit, they will not dare to go too far.”
But Lysander’s words do not matter. It didn't make Soshyan's face any better. He threw the data board directly on the monitor, causing the star map to flash, and then mocked:
"They are waiting for me to make a mistake or fail. So Huron can lose eight out of ten times in this expedition, but I, Soshyan, can't afford to lose even one time."
Then he shook his head.
"Forget it, I'll make you guys laugh. I couldn't control my emotions for a while, but now the situation can only be solved here before dealing with Sagan."
Then he began to explain his deployment to everyone.
“Huron will definitely send someone to contain Corsaro Khan. That’s good. We can also ask Corsaro to contain the Red Pirates’ fleet. I plan to transfer the Gray Knight to Angostow. Near Mu, in addition, when Huron focuses all his energy here, the two theaters on the Endymion side will launch attacks on the enemy's territory at the same time. Arash's attack direction is the Lamptan system, and Tu'shan's attack The direction is towards the Crow System. The second batch of trained recruits will be given priority to these two theaters. Once we occupy these two systems, we will be able to directly threaten Huron's strategic hinterland, which means that the expedition has entered the second phase. Stage."
"Only the Gray Knights?"
Lysander looked at the strategic instructions drawn by Soshyan, and then pointed at Angstrom.
"The Red Pirates are now gathering heavy troops in Angstrom. It's already very difficult for our troops to just defend. If they continue to increase their troops, no matter how strong the planetary defense of Angstrom is and how obvious our firepower advantage is, it will not be impossible after all. The upper limit is that although the Gray Knights are very good at dealing with heretics and demons, their fleet is not strong enough after all, and it is probably difficult to break through the red pirates' blockade."
Soshiyang nodded.
"Indeed."
"So do we need to mobilize fleets from other theaters?"
Soshiyan shook his head.
"The attack in the fifth and sixth theaters requires the cooperation of the fleet, and the siege of Badab also requires the fleet to perform a vigilance mission. A quarter of the expeditionary fleet has already been assembled in Angstrom. If they are mobilized from other places, they will be affected. Fight."
"Then you have other plans."
Soshiyang smiled.
"Indeed." Then he looked at Magyar and Titus, and they both nodded at the same time. Only then did Soshyan tell the whole story.
It turns out that as early as half a year ago, Soshyan had discussed with all members of the Suffering Alliance. This expedition met the conditions sworn when the alliance was originally established. Therefore, as the alliance commander, Soshyan has the power to mobilize the Scar of Victory Fortress to the war zone. .
It was Ulan Huda's fleet that was responsible for escorting the fortress. In addition, it was because of the secret protection of the Eldar that Soshyan dared to stake all the family assets of the Suffering Alliance.
In addition, it is not just the Traces of Victory. Although the exploration fleets cast by various Mechanicus who arrived at the Maelstrom with Soshyan have their own goals and are currently scattered in various galaxies for their archaeological excavations, they were originally Soshyan had made an agreement with them that when he had to, he could ask these fleets to cooperate with him in fighting.
In other words, the reinforcements this time include not only the Gray Knights and the Traces of Victory, but also the exploration fleets from Fenris IV, Zhao-Akada, and Greia.
This may be something Huron never thought of.
After listening to Soshyan's deployment, Lysander nodded.
"That's no problem."
Seth gave a high-five.
"If we can capture the Huron Dog Head this time, this expedition will basically be over!"
Soshiyang sighed softly.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. In any case, the more troops we can hold back the Red Pirates in Angstrom, the smoother the other attacks will be, and the easier the subsequent battles will be."
After the meeting, Soshyan quickly received news from the Angstrom Astropath Hall. All the astropaths had been hit by a vicious curse. When they woke up, they informed that the astropath communication had been blocked. Blocked messages.
Soshyan, who had known this for a long time, was not surprised. He just ordered that the matter be forbidden to be reported outside, and then made some adjustments to the planetary defense. However, the Red Pirates suspended their attack and retreated to the area they occupied. planet, and blocked the planetary route, apparently preparing to wait for their reinforcements to arrive.
Due to the blockade of the route, Angstrom's senior management showed a certain degree of uneasiness and informed Soshyan that if the raw materials were not replenished, according to the current combat intensity, peak productivity would be maintained for at most two weeks. Then there's the inevitable decline.
However, Soshyan knew that there would be no fierce fighting for the time being, so he just comforted him for a while and reassured the Mechanicus to recover the wreckage and damaged ships on the battlefield. These things could be repaired if they could be repaired. , if it cannot be repaired, it will be directly broken down into raw materials and transferred to the production line.
When he took off his armor and returned to his office, he saw Velez placing some files on the table, and his other hand was still scratching dots on the data pad, as if he was processing some information.
Because she was bent over, even though she was wearing armor, she could still see from behind her graceful waist curve outlined by the power armor and her round and plump hips covered by the white hem around her waist.
Soshiyang didn't expect that the other party was already here, so he subconsciously stopped.
"Huh?"
Hearing the movement at the door, Velez straightened up, turned to look at the door, and saw Soshyan and said immediately:
"Soshiyan, here are the previous battle reports, and some are messages transmitted from various war zones before the astrological communication failed."
