Chapter 599, Gu’s new son
As the name suggests, Death Company, that's where they fight to the death.
As for Wang Mengsong and his soldiers, unexpectedly but not unexpectedly, most of them chose the death company.
Fight to the death... isn't that what the Space Marines are for?
Normal battle groups and space warriors generally do not retire; they will age, and theoretically they may die of old age, but in fact, after thousands of years of life, no space warrior actually lives to the point of death of old age. The final result is that they all disappear or die in battle.
Entering the Death Company is nothing more than making this time come earlier.
Compared to the so-called 'retirement', Space Marines prefer this.
After all, these transformed 'angels' are still different from mortals. After the gene seeds are implanted, many normal people's mundane desires will subside to a very low level. The need for food, sex, etc. has been greatly reduced, and the need for honor, battle, etc. is far beyond ordinary people.
Although the New Age Torch is a coward, he is still a Space Marine, and few choose to retire.
As a former battle leader, Wang Mengsong also chose the Death Company.
The death company of the New Age Torch was thus established.
Finally, let’s talk about the issue of gene seeds.
Not all gene seeds need to be redeemed by Gu Hang.
For example, the number of phoenix seeds has reached the upper limit of 2,000, and Gu Hang cannot exchange for new ones. However, there is no restriction on seeds grown by Space Marines every five years and harvested from those killed in subsequent battles. In other words, as long as the phoenix does not suffer serious damage all at once, and the battlefield conditions prevent the gene seeds from being recovered, the overall number can slowly grow to more than 2,000.
It's just that Gu Hang can no longer exchange the lost gene seeds until they fall below 2,000.
The same logic applies to the ‘Level Infinite Warrior Gene Seed’ of the New Age Torch.
Not all of the total amount of 1,800 gene seeds needs to be redeemed by Gu Hang. Some are ready-made.
Of these 1,800 gene seeds, 800 will be allocated to the New Age Torch, which will gradually increase the number of New Age Torches to more than 900. There are still dozens of scattered New Age Torch veterans who have chosen to retire, and they will always occupy the quota, so let them occupy it. Gu Hang decided to be generous in giving people a choice.
Of course Wang Mengsong will not be the commander, he does not even have the identity of the commander of the death company.
The top management of the New New Age Torch will be entirely filled by the new seeds redeemed by Gu Hang and the new warriors trained by Gu Hang.
As usual, all members will undergo political commissar training to ensure their loyalty to the alliance.
The recruits trained by another thousand seeds will be directly formed into the new Raging Flames Chapter to carry out the two-hundred-year atonement expedition - an expedition within the alliance and under the command of the alliance.
New Raging Flames has no historical baggage, after all, there are no veterans.
For these two, the group culture Gu Hang has no intention of having anything to do with the old group at all. He just wants to implement the alliance's culture and atmosphere.
Something that must be related to the old group, such as history that cannot be concealed, will also set the tone: the group is guilty, but the soldiers are all good warriors of the alliance. Within the war group, they will fight for the Alliance and wash away the sins of the New World Torch. Until a hundred years later, all their sins will be redeemed and they will be bathed in glory again.
Gu Hang hoped that the warriors of New Torch and New Raging Flame would not have too much psychological pressure.
If it's hard to say in Phoenix, it's easy to say in these two battle groups that were formed entirely by the alliance and were just listed on the market through backdoors.
You are warriors of the Alliance first. As long as you fight for the Alliance, all glory will come naturally. There is no need to worry about the bad reputation left by those traitors in the past. That history has nothing to do with you. You don't even need to inherit it. You don't even need to talk to them about war. For group history, just talk about alliance history. Those old torches and old flames of the past, they are not even considered seniors.
The soldiers of the New Torch of the New Age also have the responsibility of taking good care of the old traitors in the Death Company.
As for what Wang Mengsong would think of the sudden appearance of several hundred more 'New Age Torches'... Gu Hang would tell them that these were gene seeds seized from their ships and the corpses of their soldiers. At the same time, Alliance agents also stole their gene pool from the New World Torch's home planet.
In fact, this is indeed the case. When the New World Torch went to war a few years ago, it brought 1,500 people. After their deaths, many of their gene seeds could not be recovered, and more than 800 of them were collected. They were all in the hands of Wang Mengsong and fell into the hands of the Alliance with their surrender.
Of course, Wang Mengsong couldn't believe it all. Although the numbers were roughly right, where could a series of things such as screening for reserve forces, implantation surgery, and superhuman organ growth be done so quickly?
But Gu Hang will let their pharmacists check these new gene seeds to ensure that they are completely homologous to their own and there is no problem at all.
What if you still don’t believe it?
Believe it or not.
To be honest, giving those old torches an explanation would be giving them face. If you don’t believe it, don’t believe it. What do you want to do if you join the death company?
There are still a thousand places that will be invested in the new Raging Flame.
The Alliance actually recovered hundreds of seeds from Nu Yan's corpse, but Gu Hang just sealed them to no avail.
As for the Angry Flame Chapter and what to do with the feud between the Phoenix Chapter - that's too simple.
There are some things that Gu Hang can confess directly to Martin.
All the angry flames have been killed, and there is no more angry flames.
Just borrowing a piece of skin.
When it is no longer needed in the future, the Raging Flame can actually perish in name at any time.
……
It didn't take Gu Hang a particularly long time to deal with these things.
After the big ideas and tone are set, the specific implementation details can be left to the 'Team Management Office' to handle.
This is a brand new alliance organization and has not been established for a long time. They are not responsible for any decision-making work, they only carry out Gu Hang's will, and their goal is to fully cooperate with the needs of each battle group.
This is not an independent agency. It is affiliated with Gu Hang's Governor's Office and is dedicated to handling this type of work.
They will coordinate the alliance's biological research institute to receive all gene seeds; they will cooperate with the alliance's military and political department to select the soldiers Gu Hang needs, arrange surgeries, and assign the personnel to the two new battle groups... …
As the alliance grew bigger and bigger, there were more and more things that Gu Hang didn't have time to handle personally.
What's more, he does have another very important thing at the moment.
He went to the master bedroom where he and Yelicia shared a crib.
Gu Hang took the bottle from the nanny and fed it himself.
He doesn't have much experience in this area, but he has mastered the techniques of holding and nursing babies quite well.
The one breastfeeding at this moment is, of course, his own baby.
Yelicia looked on and laughed.
"Why are you smiling so happily?"
Yelicia replied: "I have imagined many futures before, becoming a general, commanding the fleet, and destroying the enemies of the empire... But this scene is not what I expected." "Being a mother?"
"Not just." The smile on Ye Lixia's face became warmer, "Of course I have thought about becoming a mother and giving birth to offspring. I just never thought that quietly watching my husband holding our child beside me, I was actually very happy. ”
Gu Hang held the child and kissed her gently on the face.
……
Warmth and leisure are only appearances after all. What cannot be ignored is that this scene happened in a battleship like the "Yuhuo Nova".
It is not unusual for a new life to be born on a battleship. There are more than 400,000 people permanently stationed on the Yuhuo Nova, and many of them have families on the ship. After all, they may be floating on the ship for many years.
Although the Alliance has been trying to reduce the situation of being on the ship from birth to death as much as possible. Crew members have employment time, salary, and league rank. When they have worked for a long time, they can choose to renew or retire, but there are relatively few people who choose to retire. If you are injured or too old, the proportion of people choosing to retire will be relatively high.
However, due to the long-term nature of space voyages, there are still many cases where crew members start families on ships. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered together are equivalent to a city. Most of the things found in normal cities are also found on starships.
Even kindergarten-primary-middle school.
Of course, this was established by the alliance, and there is no such thing on ordinary imperial ships.
Many people get married on ships and then work for a period of time. While the ship is resting somewhere, they will choose to retire or part of their family members will retire. Mothers or fathers take their children and leave the ship to survive on the spot, or take the ship back to their hometown.
To avoid misfortunes in future wars, the entire family was reimbursed.
These are relatively humane measures taken by the alliance. To be honest, it's hard to say whether efficiency has been improved, but Gu Hang thinks this is right.
This was how everyone lived before the Alliance came, and everyone still lived like this after the Alliance came. So wasn’t the Alliance here in vain?
In this sense, Gu Hang and Ye Lixia are like a family formed by such a pair. Their children were also born on the ship.
Even the dilemma of why they should do this is the same.
Gu Hang and Ye Lixia decided to have a child.
It's not for any other reason, such as the alliance needing a successor or something like that.
Actually, it's not needed.
Gu Hang calculated that he might be fifty-seven this year. But his physical condition and appearance are still no different from that young man back then. He didn't know if he was considered an immortal now, but at least, the spiritual power was reflected on his body, and he himself didn't feel the decline of his body at all. He estimated that if he lived for thousands of years, there might be no problem.
The longevity issue doesn't bother him much.
Even when his life is about to end, he has one last resort: becoming a god on the spot. Embrace the subspace, embrace the Kingdom of Storms that now completely belongs to him, abandon his human nature, and become a lesser god of the subspace. At this point, he will be immortal.
Of course, he wouldn't do it until the last one.
Gu Hang doesn't have that much need for an heir.
Yelicia is not too worried about life expectancy. Although she is still a few years older than Gu Hang, her real age is already over sixty. However, after undergoing the first life-extending surgery early, she has a lifespan of at least two hundred years and will stay young forever; she can undergo at least three more life-extending surgeries in the future, which can extend her life to five hundred years.
Both of them have less urgent needs for future generations.
Wanting to have a child was just a private decision made by the two of them as a couple.
The decision may have some political implications, but the two agreed that's not the most important thing. They were just at a stage in their lives, completing one thing that both of them recognized together as a supplement to their lives.
As for the incidental, for example, in the next ten or twenty years, Gu Hang and Ye Lixia will have a 'prince' who they can feel most at ease with to participate in political activities as a high-level leader of the alliance; as the leader of the alliance, Gu Hang's family is completely important to them. The symbolic meaning of the entire alliance society; giving stability to some civilians, at least if Gu Hang disappears one day, the alliance will have an heir...
Just let nature take its course for these benefits.
As for the baby being raised to waste... it's not impossible.
But the impact won't be too big. After all, Gu Hang doesn't need a real heir. If he is really useless, then he will go away and be brought down by the second generation of rich people who are raised like pigs. This is Gu Hang's last kindness to future generations.
Of course, as a father, Gu Hang still didn't want this to happen.
He named the child with just the word 'Jing', which still placed Gu Hang's expectations on him.
……
While Gu Hang was happy for his offspring, the war situation was still developing.
The southern front was actually relatively calm.
Although wars were going on on many planets, two war groups broke out on Huanyue Planet and were eventually destroyed... No, it was a battle of surrender.
However, overall there were no big battles.
The alliance still implemented Gu Hang's will, which was to wait for a year and a half.
Not only building ships, new space warriors, seed implantation, and superhuman organ growth also take time.
That's all.
For this reason, Gu Hang didn't want to particularly irritate Tie Kai or Alfonzo.
The Alliance only occupied its own side of the passage from the Proud Claw Star Territory to the Nepeta Star Territory and the Alfonzo Star Territory. I could get it from the other side, so I didn’t rush to get it.
Humphrey Paul, on the other hand, did not transfer his main force to the south. He only strengthened the defense of the Lower Nepeta Star Territory, leaving the Alfonzo Star Territory to the Mechanicus themselves. The main force of the battle group is still on the Western Front.
The situation that the gentlemen on Holy Terra were most worried about and feared did not happen. The Iron Armored Legion, which won the key battle, did not fight into the central territory of the empire. They only locked up a few important planets in the Tianwang universe and did not march further. Instead, they turned to the vast Maigret universe. The other star regions are constantly attacking.
The senior officials on Holy Terra breathed a sigh of relief.
Although, Iron Armor's actions in the Maigret universe were in full swing, unstoppable, and a large number of planets quickly fell. But exchanging space for time is exactly what they expected.
The empire lacked everything except a vast territory.
But Gu Hang still felt strange.
Large-scale invasion and capture of planets in the Maigret universe. Why is this?
