Chapter 2847 Officer Hayes
A man who rose to power by being friendly and "indifferent to the world" is in charge of the life and death of hundreds of billions of people. Soshyan doesn't know whether this is luck or misfortune.
But at least, it is not the worst choice he has ever seen, and this kind of people have one characteristic, they are very aware of current affairs, especially when facing irresistible and overwhelming force.
So, when Soshyan said that he wanted to establish a theater headquarters and temporarily take over all the military power of the archdiocese, Ignatius II almost did not hesitate to raise his hands in approval. After all, this person The cruel deeds done have spread throughout the Holy City. This is also the first public bloodshed in the Holy City in thousands of years. In the past, all bloodshed was prohibited in this flawless place. Even the execution of criminals had to be within the scope of the Holy Land. outside.
But he was so understanding that Soshiyang changed his mind.
After all, things were done too directly, and Terra might have something to say. In order to avoid telling the truth in the future, Soshyan decided that the theater headquarters would only accept the military command power of the archdiocese. In principle, the administrative power still belongs to the patriarch, only the commander. The Ministry has a "liaison department" that specifically communicates with the Patriarch on internal affairs that require cooperation. In fact, it is a means of hiding from others. The actual power is still controlled by Soshiyang, and this "liaison department" is the Holy Flame he brought. Order.
It's not that Soshyan wants to expand here, but he doesn't know how long this war will last. In fact, he doesn't know how long it will take. If it really turns into a long-term bad war like Achilles's expedition, then he He must be prepared. After all, he and the legion cannot be dragged into the mire by a bad war. At that time, the archdiocese must have its own defense force, even enough to allow the legion to withdraw. In this case, rely on the existing framework of the state religion. Absolutely not. Only by using the Holy Flame Church to secretly infiltrate and change the social structure of the archdiocese, turning it into a militarized religious war zone, can it be possible to gather enough strength to fight a long-term tug of war.
After finalizing all the cooperation details with Soshyan, Ignatius II immediately summoned all cardinals and senior clergy as required, and declared the archdiocese to enter a state of full mobilization for war. The Theater Command, led by Soshyan Alexey, will become the highest command in the war against the Tyranids, taking over all armed forces, ships and military positions in the Archdiocese.
At the same time, Ignatius II issued the "Great Holy War Edict", calling on all believers in the archdiocese to join in the holy war against the abominable aliens. This content was quickly broadcast to all worlds, and also Truly bringing war to this once peaceful religious place.
".According to the documents of authority granted by the Throne of Terra, I, Ignatius II, invoke the "Edict of Taming" and transfer all military responsibilities to the theater headquarters, all devout believers of the God-Emperor , the glorious archdiocese is under invasion and siege. Billions of believers have been brutally murdered and cities shattered. All this is from the most filthy and filthy inhuman aliens. This onslaught is so fast and terrible. They come from In the ruthless void beyond the borders of the empire, the enemies of humanity exude an aura of decay wherever they go. Their goal is to ravage the kingdom of the God-Emperor, destroy the God-Emperor's church, devour devout believers, and greedily Drink the pure blood! Hear me, the God-Emperor has sent down His wrath, and the power of the angels will destroy all evil, but do not think you can stay away, His eyes are watching everything, looking at everything, this is An opportunity for redemption and devotion, put on your armor! Difficulties and hardships are the atonement that the God Emperor requires of you! Defeat the filthy aliens and wash away your sins. Heroic sacrifice is repentance. ”
Lying on the hard metal bed, although the Patriarch's impassioned voice was in his ears, Hayes didn't care about it. He put his left hand behind his head and one eye just stared at the photos in his hand, his wife and children. them.
It has been almost a year since they left home. I wonder if they are okay. Although the regiment headquarters has awarded 1-2 additional auxiliary robots to each expedition family, Hayes is still worried about losing him and them. Will it be too tiring to take care of children and work at the same time?
Every time he thought of the pitiful little face of the child in his arms asking when he would come back during the war, he could not sleep all night.
I don’t know if or when he can go back during this expedition
What will they do if he can’t go back.
最后一晚上自己说过，如果自己真的牺牲了，她们应该趁着年轻时改嫁，不过她们当时很生气，差点没把他揍一顿，之后她们哭了，还对着那位索什扬大人He cursed and said that his words did not keep his words and that he would have to go to war before his life was settled for a long time.
But Hayes knows very well. Having fought so many battles and seen so many hells, Hayes knows better than anyone else that the peace in front of him is already a priceless treasure in the Huanghuang Empire, so for the sake of his wife For his son's peace, he left without any complaints or hesitation. It’s just that this feeling of homesickness cannot be avoided.
"Uncle, uncle!"
Just when Hayes was lost in nostalgia, a voice rang in his ears. He turned around and saw that it was the country doctor. Little Feidon, the son of old Feidon, was originally not on the expedition list because he was an only son. When the regiment headquarters selects candidates, they usually give priority to non-only sons. As a result, this guy secretly went to the regiment headquarters behind his father's back. He forced himself into trouble. When he learned that his son was going to fight, Old Feiton fainted with anger. After that, he burst into tears and sighed. Hayes had no choice but to promise that as long as he lived, We must bring this bastard back with all his hair intact.
This is also the reason why Hayes is under great pressure now. He is no longer alone in the past. He is now the company commander with more than a hundred people, all of them from the countryside. If any of them are killed in battle, it will be difficult for him to face them. Relatives.
Personally, he feels that he is only suitable to be a soldier, but there is no room for the appointment above, and he has to bite the bullet.
"How many times have I told you, this is the army, you have to do your job!"
Hayes sat up from the bed, stuffed the photo under his pillow, and looked at the people in his company Medic - Yes, although little Feiton has hardly learned his father's craft seriously, he has been exposed to it, so he was assigned to become a medic as soon as he entered the company, although he is still learning emergency bandaging techniques.
“What’s wrong?”
"The priests of the order are here!"
"Priests?"
Seeing Little Feton's excited face, Hayes remembered that it was almost time to pray, although due to the formation time There are currently no priests in the short company, but there are priests from the Holy Flame Religion in the regiment. They perform "morning and evening" prayers twice a day, which is also a way for the soldiers to remember the morning and evening on the ship.
