Chapter 2836 Beheading the Gunboat
At least from Soshiyan’s battlefield perspective, facing an enemy like Tyranids, extremely powerful long-range gunboats are particularly needed. Before the Tyranids’ small ships form a siege, Even if it bombards the opponent's large biological ship from an extremely long distance and then transfers, the linear speed of the imperial ship is still very fast. As long as it turns around, it can quickly use subspace jump to escape.
This tactic of using the "decapitating gunboat" to escape with one blow can cause the greatest damage to the Tyranids fleet at the lowest cost, and can also effectively hinder the Tyranids' pace.
So in this battle, the Abyssal Class will undoubtedly participate in the war. In this case, instead of being asked and scratching your head afterwards, it is better to take the initiative to get vaccinated first. This way the explanation will be more convincing, at least Not so embarrassing.
As for the Abyss class, it is actually not that shameful. At least it is newly built and not of unknown origin. Of course, the premise is that no one checks its internal system and construction process...
Mazar blinked, suddenly grinned, and shook his head.
"Soshiyan, you are so courageous. Do you know what the Inquisition will do if they discover that you secretly built a notorious traitor ship? You will definitely act like a mad dog again. I'll pounce on you and bite you."
"I didn't think about it that much at the time. I just thought that this ship was quite powerful. If it could be built to destroy as many of the empire's enemies as possible, wouldn't it be valuable? ”
“That’s true, but it took you a long time to build it, right?”
“More than fifty years ago”
"That is, it has been built?"
"It is basically completed, mainly constructed in Reza."
Soshyan still lied in the end, Mazar seemed After realizing something, he said thoughtfully:
"No wonder you and Reza's gang of plasma fanatics were so close during the Maelstrom Expedition. This may have angered Mars. You told us out of trust. , I have no objection. After all, it is just a ship. It is not that the Empire has never used traitor ships. The Queen of Glory of the Nemesis Chapter is still the former flagship of the Word Bearers. It is still used in the same way, but to the outside world You'd better cover it up tightly, at least for the moment. You just had such a stalemate with the Inquisition. Don't give them any excuses. Unless you have a last resort, try not to use this battleship. If you use it, it's best to make sure there's no one around it. What an eyewitness."
"Yes, I will remember it."
"Brother Soshyan, how powerful is this ship?"
Seth doesn't care so much. His focus is different from others.
Faced with such a question, Soshiyang helplessly spread his hands and said: "I can't say this, after all, I have never fought in actual combat."
Mazhar then answered instead. ：
"According to historical records, two Abyss-class ships destroyed Macragge's orbital defense facility, which is known as the empire's second only to Terra. There is no doubt about its power, but this kind of ship seems to be afraid of joining gangs. The two ships were attacked The heavy losses are all due to the desperate efforts of the Extreme Ancestors to join forces to fight, but even such a powerful warship may not be able to withstand the pace of Tyranids. This war still requires the full cooperation of the Astra Militarum and the Navy, but this will also involve another party. A question.”
Soshyan nodded.
“Yes, Lord Magyar, you are right. This is a war that affects the entire sector, not just the Astra Militarum and the Navy, but also the local Ecclesiarchy, Imperial institutions, and even the Death Watch. Everyone must participate, so how to coordinate the command has become a serious problem. If Terra orders the formation of a command, it will be too late. Generally speaking, according to tradition, the supreme ruler of the local sector usually serves as the wartime commander. , but the situation in the archdiocese is special. Their ruling class is basically composed of state church priests and nobles attached to the state religion. According to the taming edict, state church priests cannot serve as military commanders, so after arriving at St. Casparon, I will Communicate with the local Patriarch, establish the St. Casperon War Zone, and form a chain of command based on the model of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force."
"Then it seems that you have already considered it, so I can rest assured. ”
After saying that, Mazhar let out a long sigh.
"This Tyranid invasion is not a good sign. The priest conducted a divination and the results were very bad. I hope we can get through this difficulty again."
After a moment of silence, Soshiyang spoke slowly. Said:
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence. If this is really the largest Tyranid invasion in history, Saint Casperon will definitely not be able to withstand such a craze, and the Storm Star Territory has been poor and weak for a long time. , nor can it support a long-term war of huge attrition, so I personally believe that the entire star field should increase its vigilance and combat readiness levels, and must start comprehensive preparations for war, lest everyone be at a loss when the worst outcome does occur. "
Seth laughed dryly and sighed:
"No one will listen. Most people will only regard warnings as sensational stories unless they are facing disaster. Hundreds of people in the past wars. We have all encountered this kind of thing more or less in the past year. 99% of those mortals are short-sighted guys. Their concept is always that if something happens, others can block it. As for whether they can block it, it has nothing to do with them. Dime relationship.”
At the end of the meeting, everyone discussed some things about the Scar of Victory. Considering that the early stage of this war may be based on mobile warfare and evacuation, there is no need for such an immovable fortress, so they will not move for the time being, but they cannot move. Representing inaction, Mazar will become the manager of the Scar of Victory. His main job is to collect combat readiness materials as much as possible, including power armor, weapons and other equipment, and fill all combat readiness warehouses to ensure that when it is needed for combat, it will be available immediately. Being able to become a strategic point of support on the front line is not an easy job at all, as you need to visit many forge worlds and gain their support through trading and lobbying.
In addition, although the Knights Errant are already stationed in the Maelstrom and have relatively heavy patrol and defense tasks, they have sworn an oath of suffering after all. If the Weeper suffers, they also promise to spare three Fortunately, Soshyan also understood their current problems and did not let them join the battle immediately. He only temporarily sent one company to be stationed at the Scar of Victory as a "reserve".
After the meeting, everyone immediately became busy. The representative of the White Templar announced that there were still some companies in the battle group performing tasks outside and needed to wait for their return. In fact, they were just waiting for Soshiyang, and Soshiyang let him The two war groups, the Mantis Warriors Chapter and the Flesh Tearers Chapter, set out first, and specially replenished their weapons from the arsenal of the Tribulation Alliance. At the same time, considering that the Mantis Warriors Chapter all needed to recruit new soldiers, they hinted that they In the Archdiocese, you can recruit recruits privately. The good thing about that place is that there is no supervision. The recruits they recruit can be sent to the Scar of Victory. There is a large-scale transformation facility here that can provide transformation surgeries for two hundred recruits at a time and stay there at the same time. Other Chapter Apothecaries in the Scar of Victory can provide technical support for the transformation of their recruits under the Alliance Apothecary Assistance Case.
After the two battle groups set off, Soshyan handed the Trace of Victory to Mazar and hurried to Bracato. If it weren’t for the fact that there were warriors from the battle group around him, he might have Just use the network channel!
