Chapter 3196: Forced Rebellion
From its inception to its end, the frenzy of greenskin invasion in the Forge World of Alatimos lasted less than a month. Although it was extremely short-lived, the losses it caused were not small.
In the Jaeger Legion alone, two War Dogs were destroyed in the battle to defend Ikotomia, and a Predator-class Titan suffered heavy damage, and the two guardians of the satellite arch also suffered serious damage. Due to the destruction, more than 87% of Ikotomia's defense facilities were lost, which can be said to be completely destroyed. 19% of Nizkara's facilities were also destroyed or damaged. Just rebuilding two satellites requires a large amount of resources. and manpower. In addition, the planet's limited fleet also lost a quarter of its ships in the process of fighting against the green skins.
As for the planet itself, after the green skins landed, some factories were damaged, especially the attack from the Ikotomia satellite, which caused the loss of 3 large foundries and 19 small and medium-sized factories. , the Skitarii and fighter soldiers suffered losses of more than 1.2 million in the process of resisting the greenskins, and a large number of priests and even sages were killed in battle.
In fact, just in terms of scale, the invading greenskins are just a group of small Kalami in Soshyan's view, far less large than the Gagesi greenskins he fought when he first took charge of the war group, and even more Needless to say, Armageddon followed.
But even such a small green-skinned group almost caused catastrophe to a forge world, which shows that Alatimos is indeed very weak.
And what’s even more amazing is that not long after the green skin invasion, the instructors sent from Mars arrived to convey the latest production indicators-higher than before. Speaking of which, The matter has something to do with Soshyan.
Due to Ark's previous action of suddenly killing the Eye of Terror, the high lords suddenly became interested in it. At the same time, the signs of the Emperor's Tarot cards also indicated that a serious threat was approaching, so they Let the explorers of the Mechanical Society launch countless unmanned reconnaissance aircraft into the Eye of Terror to obtain some intelligence. They go deep into the core of the enemy area and send back the situation.
Then the high lords saw an unprecedentedly large fleet being assembled, and there was also a huge and magnificent fortress, which was one of the black stone fortresses that Abaddon looted during the Gothic War.
The information discovered by these machines caused an earthquake in the upper echelons of the empire, and the high lords discussed for a long time in the palace to decide their response.
First of all, Cadian's defense force must be strengthened immediately, and reserve forces must be established immediately. Weapons, ammunition and supplies must be continuously transported to the front line and warehouses behind the defense zone. The twenty governor war regiments guarding the Cadian area have entered a comprehensive In the war preparation state, all companies performing missions abroad are recalled and deployed to the corresponding positions without any additional deployment, in order to make a timely strategic counterattack.
Although we don’t know what the great traitor wants to stir up, no matter where the heresy’s hammer will fall, the Imperial Guard must stand firm and repel any invading enemies.
In addition, every combatable army in the Obscure Star Territory must be prepared. When war breaks out, they must fight to the last bullet and the last person to defend the Cadian Gate. .
The high lords made a decision, so the empire will run like this, but it is easy to say, but it is not so easy to fall on everyone. The Ministry of Military Affairs issued instructions to the munitions department and began to prepare for another It was a huge war, and the munitions department sent an application to Mars to increase its production share.
New regiments need to be established, tax items need to be increased, and various forging worlds need to increase production to fill the growing demand for ordnance. A word in the temple is like a stone thrown into a pond, stirring up excitement. The ripples have spread to the farthest and most distant planets in the galaxy.
Mars immediately sent a large number of teaching supervisors to various forging worlds to convey new production instructions in order to reach the level listed in the demand forecast. If the output of the forging world fails to meet this requirement, it is likely to mean that the world's casting The director will be deemed unqualified and immediately replaced. Of course, this is limited to "small forge worlds" like Alatimos. Those really large forge worlds will not be easily threatened by Mars. Therefore, those sent to those powerful forge worlds are actually messengers to communicate and negotiate. For the sake of the Lord, use great principles to persuade those rebellious directors and let them contribute more to the national defense of the empire.
Facing the Mars Superintendent, Christopher IX, who was the director of Alatimos Foundry at the time, sincerely conveyed the current difficulties and took the director to see the severely damaged places. Facilities, hoping to temporarily reduce part of the production coordination so that the Forge World can restore itself first.
As a result, I was rejected as expected.
The Superintendent’s reason is also very simple. If the defense facilities are destroyed, they will be destroyed. As long as most of the production facilities are there, it will be enough to meet the production quota. After all, this place is so "safe" and does not need any defense. Only those potential traitors with evil intentions would turn their homes into iron barrels.
If Mars' request is rejected, the first punishment is to completely deprive the Alatimos Forge World of its resource origin and remove them from the Forge World's development sequence. If the Forge World mines privately, it is an illegal misappropriation of imperial resources, and Mars has the power to directly clean them. The world is a high-level one, but Alatimos itself has few resource producing areas, and even its trade share is very low.
But if Mars's request is really followed, then the Alatimos Forge World will not even have the strength to repair its damaged defense facilities. Not only that, all factories will have to enter the highest operating state, even In an overloaded state, production accidents and serious mechanical failures are very likely to occur in this case. Dealing with accidents and repairing heavy production equipment requires time, manpower and material resources. This will lead to a death spiral, in which quotas cannot be fulfilled and raw materials are deprived. Loss of raw materials makes it impossible to produce and maintain equipment, making it even harder to meet quotas.
Then the Director of Foundry proposed that if the output is to be increased, it must be based on providing more raw ores and refined raw materials. After all, the blood of a forging world is the various raw materials it digests. , a huge amount of raw materials and chemical raw materials need to be satisfied by the production of a dozen or even dozens of mineral planets.
But the Forge World of Alatimos currently only has two star systems to maintain its operation.
The answer is still, it is not allowed. There are currently no newly explored resource worlds around.
The Aratimos Forge World instead continued to retreat, allowing them to explore and develop on their own.
Still not allowed.
At this point, the prison warden didn’t even bother to make up a reason. He just had to carve the words “You are traitors” on the metal face.
