Chapter 3197 Throwing herself into my arms
Regarding Mars's attitude, Soshyan is actually quite confused. What is the meaning of this kind of behavior and thoughts that desperately push people to become traitors? There may have been traitors in the Aratimos Forge World, but they themselves have also dealt with traitors. If they want to redress past crimes, how much better can Mars be? Besides, this happened ten thousand years ago. How many traitors have been inspired by Chaos in the past ten thousand years, and how many traitors have been created by the empire itself?
Or maybe it’s more than that
The sage Ulanhuda who came with Soshiyang made another guess. In the past, the steel ring spanned the two star fields and had already become a giant in the Adeptus Mechanicus system. If there was no great rebellion, these forging worlds would be very difficult. They may join forces to attack the authority of Mars. For Mars, a single powerful forging world is not scary. What is scary is a group of forging worlds united, and the Iron Ring is such a typical example.
Therefore, after the Great Rebellion, Mars' sanctions and suppression of the Iron Ring were also the most obvious. Both rebels and loyalists were subjected to various political and economic exclusions. For Mars, it is important to prevent the emergence of an opposition The best way for groups is to weaken them, making them extremely weak and even unable to protect themselves.
Except for Greia, this is true for Alatimus, and so is Urdesh - all the Titans in this forge world were not even allowed to establish their own Titan legions after being destroyed in the Great Rebellion, so that in the forties For a thousand years it was so weak that it was captured by the cultists and was not liberated until the Sabat Crusade.
But it has to be said that this method seems to have become the usual routine of the Terragongon princes. It can even be said to be path dependent. This is true for the Astartes Chapter, the Astra Militarum, and the Navy. , and this is even true for every planet.
It seems that their only way to "balance" is to "weaken".
In this case, Soshyan stepped forward. As the leader of the Astartes Chapter that rescued the Forge World, he told the Instructor very bluntly that if he came a little later, the Mars envoy fleet would hit him head-on. Entering a galaxy full of greenskins, and after obtaining Alatimus, the power of the greenskins will increase exponentially. At that time, the entire eastern part of the Tempest Star Territory will not be peaceful. Now a large-scale riot has begun to occur in the west. The greens are gone, and if trouble breaks out in the east, who will bear the consequences?
As the Chapter Master of the Astartes, he spoke much tougher than the Foundry Director. Although the Instructor repeatedly stated that he was just a messenger, Soshyan asked him to go home and bring his letter to the Foundry General. In it, he will explain the situation in detail. Although it is impossible to completely erase the Forge World's production quota, reducing it by 20% is not a big problem, and it can also avoid additional extra points.
His righteous speech also made the foundry director and the sages feel his goodwill, but the most important thing was the strength he showed, not just force, but also political strength. The messenger of Mars dismissed him as he said.
"Alatimos has worked hard to serve the empire and humanity for so many years. He has merit after all. No matter how hard he is, there is still hard work. I can understand your mood, especially as a descendant of the eradicated legion. I can understand this very well. It is unreasonable and unfair for future generations to repay the mistakes made by our ancestors even after ten thousand years.”
Walking in the completely abandoned Titan Factory of the past, Soshyan glanced at the solidified forge and the chains that fell from the dark dome. It was hard to imagine that this dilapidated cave could produce all Titans except the Emperor-class Titans in the past.
Next to him was a large casting director wearing a red robe, whose entire head seemed to have been completely replaced with equipment.
A row of flying little angels passed over the heads of the two people, and the smoke from the incense burner in their hands rolled and dissipated in the darkness
"We gave everything we had for the empire, but all we got in return was suppression, insults, belittling, and restrictions. We didn't have enough resources, so we could only spend high prices to buy rare minerals from the Rogue Traders. This made the quality of our skitarii sharply decline. Descend, and Mars restricts us from selling our products. It will starve us to death, destroy our legions, and reduce us to the same situation as Urdesh.”
The cold metal tone of the foundry director can clearly feel an irrational anger, which can make a sage-level mechanical priest have emotions other than "mechanical rationality". It is conceivable that this kind of resentment has already spread in Alatimus. How long has the backlog been?
"It's all because Mars has taken it right and we don't have the strength to resist. Does it dare to do this to Reza and Huangquan No. 8?" Soshiyang smiled slightly.
"Director Christopher, I can understand your anger. In fact, this also proves a truth. There is no way out in the dark galaxy alone. From a race to an individual, the Nessen galaxy already has radiation. With the commercial power of the entire sector, Alatimos will be supplied with resources from the entire sector in the future, just like the previous Nidelina sub-sector, and it will also become the core of the new steel corridor."
Hearing this, the casting director suddenly made a low voice.
"Commander Soshyan, why are you doing this?"
Soshiyang raised his head slightly, thought for two seconds, then turned around and said:
"For humanity, for the Emperor, for the Empire. For survival."
".In order to survive, yes, we have all been pushed to a dead end."
"Furthermore, the reconstruction of the Iron Corridor is definitely not for the benefit of me or the Eleventh Legion. Now that the Storm Star Territory has entered a troubled time, it is difficult to support it only by the three forging worlds of Grea, Zhao-Akada, and Griffin IV, especially Griffin and Zhao Akada are both located on the edge of the Star Territory, in a dangerous area along the Tyranid invasion route. The Steel Corridor is the key material basis for defending the Storm Star Territory. In the future, it will become the core of ensuring the security of the Star Territory with the Tribulation Alliance. Pillar, as for the empire, it is obvious that the Eye of Terror alone has already made the high lords very anxious. Corresponding to the dark and barren Storm Star Territory, they will not invest too much attention. We can only rely on ourselves."
The casting director nodded.
"I agree with your idea. We have also received the news of the Tyranid invasion. If the Suffering Alliance had not intervened in time, we don't know how bad the situation would have worsened."
Soon, the two walked to a huge platform. The platform was facing a huge metal skeleton. It was covered with thick dust. It looked like some kind of unearthed cultural relic. From the outline, it It should be the support frame of a Predator Titan, which means it has been on the stand for tens of thousands of years.
Since the civil war, this severely damaged Titan Factory has never been in operation. Although the Titan Factory in Ulanhuda has been stagnant for a long time, it still has maintenance after all. However, there is no maintenance here anymore and it is almost a ruin. .
