Chapter 1963 Yunding Wuchen
Although he was separated by a helmet, King Kefen 31 was still a little uncomfortable being stared at by Talos’s helmet, so he asked in a low voice:
“Sir .Is there anything I can do for you when you come here?”
“There’s nothing wrong with my visit this time. I just accidentally received some information when I returned from a mission. It seems that the world is in trouble. "
As soon as he heard the trouble, King Kefen 31's fat face immediately began to sweat. He asked the beautiful maids in tight-fitting dresses to bring oversized wine glasses, while using a meek tone. responded:
"It's a little troublesome, but we can overcome it. We can overcome it."
"Oh, that's it. Along the way, I saw famine and turmoil in many worlds. I went to the nest below to see I thought you were short of energy and food now, so I planned to return to the battle group and talk to the group leader about increasing relief food and energy. Since we can overcome it——"
"Sir!"
< br>Kefen Thirty-I immediately put on a hoarse voice.
"You are really aware of everything. There are disasters and chaos everywhere in the whole maelstrom, but the war tax is still being collected round after round. The situation of our Senglad 2 is even more serious. Now it has There were people dying of hunger everywhere, and riots broke out. The mob not only robbed the upright wealthy people, but also robbed factories! Even the relief warehouses established by the empire out of kindness were all robbed. After the warehouses were robbed, why should we still hope to rob the governor's palace? Your Excellency, if you can say a few kind words to Commander Soshyan and talk about our difficulties, the generations and descendants of the hundreds of millions of people of Senglad 2 will definitely remember your great kindness and kindness. Erect a monument and a statue!”
As he spoke, he held a large wine glass and handed it to Talos, but the other party refused with gestures.
"Don't worry, I also need your help with something."
"You say, you say, I will do it!"
"Angstrom is now The war is fierce, and the chapter leader asked me to recruit 200 million young and strong residents from the hive city to do labor. Can you get it for me within ten days? "
After hearing this, Kefen Thirty Sweat dripped down his face. If he had done this three months ago, he would have done it immediately, but now
The maximum population he can control in the entire hive city is only one billion, and it is impossible to gather 200 million young people in any case.
"Sir, this."
"What? Are you having difficulty?"
In fact, Kefen 31st had already come to his senses at this time, he was cruel Greedy but not stupid. After all, he got to this position by poisoning his father and nine brothers. Therefore, he had already guessed that the Space Marine's intention was not to capture Din.
The other party must know something and come to investigate. If he doesn't want to give a better explanation, his guards, power, and ministers may not be able to protect him.
"Yes, there are some."
"Didn't you say it could be overcome before? Why did you say it again?"
"Sir, you don't know something. This planet is not rich. Nest The products they can produce are also very limited. In the past, most of them were exchanged for promethium and synthetic food from the forge world. Hundreds of years ago, the forge world Angstrom had formulated an agreement with other forge worlds in the Maelstrom. The joint agreement stipulates that no nest can build more than three promethium refineries, otherwise it will be blocked by the joint technology of all the forging worlds, which means that we must buy them to produce high-priced promethium. We have resisted the Ministry of Internal Affairs many times! There is no way! In the past, I could barely support myself with trade taxes and other income, but after the expedition began, war taxes were increased one after another, and all promethium was given priority to the army, and trade routes were also affected due to the war. Interference, purchasing promethium from external sources was too expensive and unaffordable. After Angstrom was surrounded, our external sources of promethium were completely cut off. The promethium in stock could not last even three months. Without promethium Food processing plants were unable to operate, and workers began to strike and cause trouble, causing varying degrees of damage to the remaining promethium refineries. Seeing that the scale of the riots was increasing, our application for assistance from the Ministry of the Interior was delayed. I always say that on the road, many merchants have begun to maliciously drive up the prices of food and promethium. Even if we spend all our savings, we still won’t be able to buy enough food——"
"Let you go. Damn it! !”
An angry shout interrupted Keffen Thirty-one’s cry. Sablin walked to the table angrily, making the nobles retreat. He picked up a piece of tender and juicy meat steak and threw it hard on the luxurious robe of King Kefen 31, causing a large stain and making the other party retreat in fright.
"The civilians are already eating each other! What about you guys! Have you ever given even a penny of charity to those who are so full of food? No! Not only no! You have also robbed them of their last hope! You also want to kill those who have no food rations. ! You are still trying to argue, you beasts deserve to die!"
As he spoke, he pulled out his bolt gun, and the crowd suddenly screamed.
“What are you doing?”
Talos turned his head, looked at Sablin, and said calmly:
“Didn’t I have an order? It is not allowed without an order. Do you want to rebel if there is any move?”
"Company Commander——"
"Put away the gun, or put him in confinement for half a year."
Sablin gasped twice, but did not put down the gun in his hand, but held it tighter. Tight. "I don't understand! Why should you listen to their nonsense! Sinners deserve to be punished! Isn't this what you taught us, company commander!"
As he spoke, he turned his gun towards the crowd around him, Those who were pointed out retreated like frightened sheep.
Talos compared it and just uttered a few words.
“Can’t figure it out?”
Sablin gritted his teeth and replied:
“Can’t figure it out!”
At this time, Li Lin also quietly took his hand Pressing on the handle of the gun, although he obeys Talos's order more, if Sabourin fires, he will definitely fire, because they are brothers, and they will bear the guilt together
"The Thunder Eagle stopped outside and immediately went back to think until it worked out."
At this time, Cassati came over and pressed down Sabourin's gun hand, then grabbed the opponent's arm and turned towards him. He walked outside and spoke to the other party in a private message:
"Sablin, I know you are angry, but you must understand that you represent the Astral Knights Chapter now... The mission of the Astartes is Protecting the survival of mankind and the order of the empire, although most of the time the two goals are consistent, there are occasionally conflicts... We are not gods and cannot solve everything..."
In Sablin and Ka After Sati left, Talos turned to King Kefen 31 who was huddled behind a pillar. At this time, some guards heard the noise and ran in. However, they did not dare to take out their weapons and just looked around cautiously.
This is not some remote world where no one dares to attack the Space Marines.
"The soldiers have seen some things and are a little impulsive, but at least I am willing to listen to your explanation."
"My lord——"
Kefen 31 walked with trembling legs He came out and then fell to the ground, explaining with tears and snot.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Agreed, if those people don't have enough food, they will definitely riot! But the number of guards in the hive city is not enough to defend all areas. If a large-scale rebellion breaks out, then things will be out of control. We can only wait until things come to an end. Take action before that step to eliminate hidden dangers."
The expressions of those imperial bureaucrats who were called by the governor suddenly became very embarrassed, and some even tried to retreat into the crowd.
"What bullshit logic!"
Li Lin couldn't help but curse.
"If you kill all the people, there will be no rebellion, right!? Those are not enemies, they are citizens of the empire, the people of the emperor, the people you want to protect! Can't you come up with something Do you want to save more people with that little thing in your mouth? You are the emperor’s sheepdog! You keep saying there is no promethium! Then what did you use to burn so many civilians? The Sushuo people don’t have promethium to generate electricity, right?”
“Sir, how much can we save with the reserves in our hands? There are so many elites and so many nobles in Zhongchao Shangchao. , so many officials, they are the foundation of the empire! If they can't survive, how can they claim that this place belongs to the empire in the future?"
Li Lin was slightly stunned, but he was speechless immediately. Retorted:
"You are lying. The empire is made up of countless civilians."
But at the end of the day, he didn't have much confidence anymore.
On the contrary, Kefen 31 took a step forward, pointing his arms at those gathered.
“Sir, take a look, here are scholars who are familiar with the empire’s thousands of years of history, experts who are familiar with space knowledge, astropaths who communicate with planets, and technology that serves the Omnissiah. Priests, officials who collect taxes for the Emperor, judges who enforce the Holy Code of the Empire, and bishops who guide people's souls, if two people really want to die at the same time, some scum of the nest, this world still belongs to the Emperor and the Empire. , but if they all die, this place will become a nest of heresy!"
Talos looked at the ruler of the hive city, suddenly chuckled, and then made an eagle salute, He turned around and walked towards the door, ignoring the call behind him.
"Alas, my lord——"
