Chapter 3200 Steel of the Stars
Long before participating in the Archdiocesan War, Soshyan planned to start with transportation, because during the Maelstrom Expedition, he personally experienced various structural problems caused by transportation, and this matter has only gained some insights in these years. .
An old topic, there is no solution to this problem from the human side, but the "demi-humans" have a solution.
The Wotan Alliance has had a professional logistics and transportation company for a long time. Their transport ships are not only large in size, but also capable of navigation in a variety of ways. They are not limited to deep subspace navigation, but also have very professional large-scale gravity lifting. equipment, short-distance precise transmission and transportation cabins, etc., and the team is also very mature and professional. However, Soshyan had never had a very intuitive feeling before. It was not until he personally experienced the subspace dive with the characteristics of short people that he realized that humans and The gap between the short people in navigation technology - although the human subspace navigation speed is actually faster than the short people, but compared with time distortion, demon invasion and various risks faced when traveling through deep subspace, this speed is really is not worth mentioning, after all, "slow" subspace navigation is fast enough, and stability is the most important thing.
It was also because of this that he finally decided to reach a cooperation agreement with the Ymir Business Alliance.
To put it simply, the Ymir Alliance is responsible for the main business of the entire logistics department. Their professional "Tailwind" transportation fleet establishes stable and efficient routes between various forging worlds and resource planets, and they will also obtain extremely generous profits. , and get part of the rare minerals they need from mineral trade and transportation. At the same time, they can also get part of the trade share of the royal court's vassal races.
The price is not small, but it is worth it in Soshyan's view, because the Ymir Group is strong, at least according to them, it can send 900 transport ships at any time to establish business, and subsequently build new ships. It is impossible for other forces to ensure that a logistics and transportation network with 3,000 transport ships as the core will be built within five years.
Of course, the Great Sorian Alliance may also be able to do it, but what Soshyan hopes to get is the help of the entire Wotan Alliance. If only one family is fed, it will cause dissatisfaction with other business alliances, and eggs are not suitable for storage. In a basket.
"Commander of the Soshyan Army, is it a little unsafe to hand over the transportation line completely to the short man? After all, they are a group of businessmen who are unprofitable and have no morals at all."
After Christopher read it, he immediately asked a question. The Adeptus Mechanicus knew something about the Adeptus Mechanicus and even had some contact with them. However, because the Adeptus Mechanicus had a bad attitude towards the Adeptus Mechanicus, the contacts between both parties were often not pleasant. , maybe Reza is the exception, or maybe it's just a little better.
Zhao Akada’s representative also echoed:
"They can be hired, which means they can be bribed."
Soshyan raised his hand.
"I can understand your concerns, but the transportation convenience of the short people is difficult to surpass in the current empire in a short period of time. This is an objective fact. I will do my best to ensure that they can fulfill the contract. Of course, this does not mean that we will Everything is left to them. Each forging world still has its own transport fleet. After all, compared to the huge transport lines, there are actually only a few thousand transport ships. The short people are mainly responsible for the transportation of key materials and key supplies and equipment. "
For this reason, the sages should not continue to doubt, otherwise they would be questioning Soshiyang's ability.
At this time, Ekwaria’s representative suddenly raised a hand.
"Sir Soshyan, when the director sent me here, he asked me to convey a small request."
"Please tell me."
"The last Genestealer uprising and Necron invasion caused a huge blow to the Forge World. Many people believe that our world lacks defense power, especially a decisive force like the Titan Legion, so the Director hopes to get help to build an army of his own. Our Titan Army." As soon as these words came out, Zhao Akada's representative made a sarcastic sound that sounded like metal friction.
"Titan Legion, this is no small request."
After Suoshiyang thought for a moment, he said slowly:
"I can understand Ekvoria's thoughts on self-defense, but the establishment of the Titan Legion did not happen overnight. Ekvoria has never had Titan-related industrial facilities in the past. Even if it is given to you now, you will even There is no space for maintenance and repairs, let alone construction. But I will try my best to give Ekwaria related assistance.”
Speaking of this, something suddenly flashed in Soshyan's mind. When he found Elena, or YT-001, the other party said that she was hiding in Volistad and had a "religion of the Mechanicus." "Treasure", but because something very embarrassing happened to Soshyan in that world, he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
"Thank you very much for your generosity, Your Majesty."
Although Soshyan's words did not have very substantive content, the other party had expressed his position, and Ekvoria's representative immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Commander of the Soshyan Army, what should this organization be called?"
Ulanhuda raised the last issue in a timely manner. Soshiyang glanced at the four sages and replied:
"The steel ring of the past no longer exists, and the era of disputes and civil strife is gone. Now we are going to use a brand new steel channel to defend the southern border of the empire. Why not call it the Star Dome Railway?"
The four sages looked at me and I looked at you. Although they did not speak, they obviously did not agree with this name.
"Call it Star Steel."
A voice came from above, and the sages all raised their heads, but Soshyan did not, because he knew who was speaking and nodded slightly.
"Steel of the Stars seems to be pretty good too."
This time the four sages also nodded.
So a Forge World complex that inherited the broken Ring of Steel was resurrected under the name Starsteel, but this time it was no longer a group of Forge World coordinators, but joined by the Astartes and more other forces.
And Soshiyang is also integrating the forging worlds he can reach in a sense. This is an unprecedentedly powerful force in the current empire. There are four forging worlds, three Titan legions, a knight family, and dozens of other forging worlds. Thousands of Astartes, tens of millions of elite soldiers, a huge fleet capable of launching sector-level war
If the high lord knew that he had these in his hands, he would never have a good night's sleep, but in fact, seriously speaking, these are not as good as one-tenth of the eternal royal court that he ruled as the Phoenix King. Soshiyang took so much trouble The original intention of the effort was just to deal with more wars that might occur in the future, and to provide a stable retreat for the Legion.
