Chapter 2174 Light wealth is enough to gather people
In return for Soshyan’s performance of the contract, a large number of weapons and equipment from the Wotan Alliance entered the arsenal of the expeditionary force, and Soshyan distributed some of them to such as Friendly war groups such as the Dark Angels, Flesh Tearers, Lamenters, and Ascetics all have pretty good reviews of these short-man equipment.
Furzad, the third company commander in the war group, seems to have established a friendship with Graham, the clan leader of the Deep Rock Berserkers, and the other party also gave him a plasma battle ax. Farzad gave the other party a power ax in return, and Dasorian was also deeply satisfied with this transaction. There is still a lot of room for cooperation between the two parties in the future.
After briefly dealing with the mortal side, Soshyan convened representatives of all participating war groups for a simple meeting.
The first is the distribution of spoils. From the second Angstrom to the decisive battle in the Kara system, the expeditionary force also captured a large amount of Astartes equipment, including power armor, bolters, and even There are also some vehicles. When sweeping the Magar Galaxy, they discovered an entire super-heavy armor squad locked in a warehouse, a total of 12 super-heavy vehicles from the Great Expedition era. Obviously Huron was not willing to send these armors to Go to the battlefield and end up making wedding clothes for others.
And all of this, except for those overweight vehicles, Soshyan announced that the other Astral Knights would not want them, and all of them would be given to the participating battle groups.
Not only that, including the battleships captured in the decisive battle of Kara, the Astral Knights also did not need any of them, and were distributed by each battle group according to the actual situation.
If the former surprised everyone, the latter shocked everyone, even the Chapter Master of the Minotaur.
Soshiyan’s explanation is also very simple.
“In this expedition, the Astral Knights have gained the highest honor. We have received too much. I really feel guilty. If it weren’t for your support, let alone victory, we would initiate Expeditions are all difficult, and this expedition has nothing to do with anyone, but brothers have poured their blood into it. How dare the Astral Knights take any further advantage?"
Everyone declined for a while, and Lysander also persuaded Soshyan that the Astral Knights were also the main force in combat and had to make sacrifices, just like everyone else.
But Soshyan still insisted, and after pulling back and forth three times, everyone finally accepted the plan.
Of course, the previously repaired Silver Redemption has already joined the Astral Knights’ combat sequence, so it is not included in this allocation.
Although this move is suspected of being an invitation to buy people's hearts, there is no doubt that the tangible benefits still make all war groups respect Soshyan, even Asterion Moloch, who was tricked by him before. Everyone praised this as a "righteous act" - the Minotaur, who contributed greatly in the decisive battle, was assigned two cruisers and several small ships. In addition, the battleships they captured could be said to be fully loaded. Soshyan also felt the same in this matter. He showed an unexpected fairness and didn't care about the previous relationship between the two.
Actually, it's not that Soshiyang doesn't want to expand his armaments and fleet, it's just that he has a better way. In addition, the decomposed wreckage of the hulk also has unexpected gains. All those magic steel nerve plexuses have been collected and are waiting. It will be sent back to Ulan Huda for research, and some of the relatively complete wreckage can be cut and processed in Angstrom. Although there is no way to repair it into a battleship, it can be recast and key parts of the engine can be reused, as well as on the battlefield. The wreckage of the ship salvaged from the ship can also be recast and used. Using these materials, Angstrom promised to build 2 Tyrant-class cruisers and 3 destroyer squadrons for a total of 12 destroyers and 6 frigates for the Astral Knights in the next five years. The squadron includes 18 frigates.
The Tyrant Cruiser is also the largest first-class battleship Angstrom can build. One of the features of this battleship is the use of ancient scram plasma weapons recycled from Chaos warships.
In addition, the "Steel Corridor" built by Reza has been completed, and a safe route consisting of outposts and large detection stations has arrived at the Kliman Drift Zone, which means that Reza has direct access to the mainland. The route of the whirlpool has since gotten rid of the restrictions of Mars. With the establishment of the military ticket as early as two years ago, products from Reza have continuously entered the whirlpool market, and in exchange for a large number of rare minerals that the foundry world urgently needs, especially Heavy metals and crystals associated with plasma. Reza's Ultramok Foundry Director was very satisfied with this, and the warships Soshyan ordered in Reza five years ago also began to be accelerated in the shipyard. These warships also have an almost forgotten name-
Riza-class battle barge.
Only six ships of this model were built, one of which bore a name that Soshyan could not let go of throughout his life.
Storm
Of course, the technology of the original Ryza-class battle barge has long been lost. Ryza’s sages only retained part of the original design. The current Ryza-class battle barge cost them more than two thousand It was redesigned and built in 2010. It seemed to be fate. It was not until Soshyan arrived in Reza that the design of this ship was basically finalized. Therefore, the Ultramok Foundry Director even gave Soshyan the honor of naming the model. After thinking for a long time, Soshyan gave a victim-level answer.
The Sacrifice-class inherited the Riza-class's famously sturdy hull. In order to restore the past design, the Sages even went to the wreckage of the Tempest in person to refer to its almost deformed keel design and found out The secret of the laminated keel was later "modernized", mainly by turning ordinary macro cannons into plasma macro cannons, and by laying experimental energy adjustment coils and other equipment inside the ship. Rizana's powerful plasma reactor allows the Sacrifice-class battle barge to have extremely ferocious close-range plasma macrocannon attacks, as well as long-range light spear shooting capabilities. Its power is comparable to that of a battleship, and it can even maintain a high speed. , the entire design is very compact, with no wasted space on a huge shipboard hangar or a Nova Cannon with variable reliability.
Similarly, the bow of the Sacrifice class has also been specially reinforced, just like the ancient Ryza class. It can easily pass through cosmic environments such as asteroid belts, and can inflict enemy damage in close impacts. Devastating damage.
Whether it was out of satisfaction with its performance or special feelings, Soshyan had no reason to refuse such a warship, so he ordered three at once!
The payment was his indifference to Reza's infiltration into the maelstrom during this period.
As for the local Mechanicus forces in the Maelstrom, the two smaller forge worlds are powerless to do anything about it, and the largest Angstrom is already deep in the vortex of internal strife. Representatives of Mars have arrived, He was dissatisfied with Soshyan's unauthorized arrangement to forge world power, but it was already done. He could only hold his nose and recognize the management council created by Soshyan, and firmly stand against Reza's faction. Now Ange There is a strong smell of gunpowder in Storm, and Reza is also working hard to support the Flame-Blooded Sect. However, there is still pressure from the Expeditionary Army and Soshyan, so there will not be any big trouble. Angstrom is also still working for the Expeditionary Army and Soshyan. The Astral Knights produce armaments.
This is also the reason why Soshyan divided up those battlefield seizures, because Angstrom has several production lines specifically to serve the Astral Knights, but power armor, bolters, etc. There is no shortage at all, they are more about producing equipment for the mortal troops being built by Soshyan, as well as various equipment needed for the development of new colonies.
But Angstrom will definitely not be peaceful in the future. Soshyan himself has no idea where the fighting between various forces will lead this forging world.
As for the food and living supplies needed by the new colonies in the Bracato system, Sorge can basically handle it. Now he is already the leading underworld tycoon in the Maelstrom, and he has been marked by the Ministry of Justice. Even some judges have noticed him, but Sorge is cautious and has never been caught with any major crimes. Moreover, with his current strength, as long as he does not cause any big troubles, it is enough to protect himself.
