Chapter 614, Forging World
The main force that entered the Alfonzo Star Territory was led by Gu Hang himself.
As for the fleet, it is much stronger than what was left in the hands of Martins. There are also two visible war groups, a shadow war group, and a large number of alliance armies.
The purpose of such strength is to be able to quickly cut through the mess and solve the problems in the Alfonzo Star Territory.
Especially those three forging worlds, which are huge wealth.
There are two main reasons why we must invest the maximum amount of power in the Alfonzo Star Territory:
First, you can use the influence of Sebastian Moreau to quickly win over the doves and get them to switch sides to your side.
War is the most intense form of politics. If you want to achieve a goal solely by means of war, it will be too laborious.
Not even sure of success.
Even if we succeed, we don’t know how much it will cost and how long it will take.
It is of course the best to be able to use political means to win over forces that do not belong to you, or are even hostile, and use them for your own use.
However, even if those so-called doves oppose the hawks represented by Varuk and are persecuted by the hawks, they do not necessarily have to follow the alliance.
As the prestigious leader of the Alfonzo Dove faction, Moreau can play a very good role in coordinating and coordinating the power of the entire Alfonzo Dove faction. However, in addition to such a leader, this leader also needs to be very powerful.
Moreau himself certainly did not. He fled to the Alliance alone, so he had no strength at all.
The only strength he has is the Alliance.
Only if the alliance can show strong enough strength as his backing can others see the future of following him and better play his integration role.
In addition, Gu Hang also has a ‘special attack weapon’ against the Mechanicus: the black box.
Of course, it will definitely not be time to use the black box at the beginning. Only when it is particularly necessary, Gu Hang will take out this thing.
There is no need to worry about what will happen after the black box is sent out.
The black boxes that Gu Hang would take out as gifts were technologies that some alliances had already understood, and the black box's role was almost equal to zero.
He is now sending out single-digit black boxes, which is not very eye-catching. It was long past the time to be cautious. What if the various mechanical sects knew that Gu Hang had a black box? Except for the Mars Sect, which Gu Hang really had to be afraid of, he no longer had to worry about other small and medium-sized sects.
Even if it was Mars, it was so far away that Gu Hang actually didn't have to be afraid. Just coming to trouble him for a few black boxes would definitely not be a big deal.
Unless Gu Hang tells others that he has hundreds of black boxes in his hands, which even contain many cutting-edge technologies, that would be another matter.
The people of the Mechanicus will be crazy about the black box. Apart from the technology it represents, the most important thing is the black box itself. It was originally a super-technical product of the golden age of mankind. For those in the Mechanicum, studying the black box is like studying a sacred product that contains huge truths, whether in a scientific or religious sense. , are attractive enough.
Because of this, even if it is a black box for manufacturing plastic steel, they are not interested in plastic steel, but they are extremely obsessed with the plastic black box itself.
In fact, the black box has indeed made great contributions.
At the end of November, the main fleet of the Alliance entered Alfonzo. Along the way, the doves surrendered and the hawks retreated. Many of these Alfonzo worlds are corrupted, but they are much better than those in the Nepeta star field, and only slightly worse than the Proud Claw star field, which is completely within the acceptable range.
By the end of December, more than sixty worlds had been captured by the Alliance.
In fact, at this moment, a Mechanicus Guard Corps has gathered behind the alliance. Among them are not only the elite skitarii, automatic soldiers, but also a knighthood!
They haven't conquered a forging world so far. Just from the strength garrisoned in the ordinary worlds controlled by the Alfonzo Sect, they already have such strength.
And the hawks in these sixty worlds were either expelled or eliminated, or... they became doves.
In fact, the distinction between so-called doves and hawks is not that clear. They are all one family, but they have different political opinions. When the order from Great Sage Varuk came, the centrists followed to persecute the die-hard doves; now that the alliance army arrived, and Sage Moro stepped forward to take the lead, the centrists quickly reversed course.
Nothing could be further from the norm.
It is precisely because of this that Gu Hang was able to draw out such a force of the Mechanicus from these sixty worlds to assist in the battle.
Gu Hang didn't intend to throw them away to fight against the powerful enemy he was about to face. Maybe they would fall again.
However, it would be okay to throw them into a different world and quell the pests.
These forces of the Mechanicus were drawn from the local area. The situation in some worlds is good, and the Alliance takes little or no action. As long as they unify the thoughts at the top of the planet, they can solve the problem themselves, and even have room to allocate troops to the Alliance.
And Gu Hang threw these extracted Mechanicus troops into a world with relatively big problems.
This saves Gu Hang from having to leave occupying troops in each world and disperse his own forces.
His main force arrived at the first important goal of Alfonzo's trip: Alamita in early January.
This is one of the three major forging worlds in Alfonzo, and it is also the place where Moreau once served as the forging general.
Gu Hang was still very cautious.
Don't look at the fact that they occupied sixty worlds without much resistance along the way, but first of all, the Alfonzo Star Territory is a very big place, larger than the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, with seven hundred worlds, and the Alliance has occupied ten tenths of the worlds. One hasn’t arrived yet.
Secondly, the Alfonzo sect is quite fierce.
Even though Sage Du Bo led the team to lose a big wave, in fact they still retained a very huge strength.
In terms of ships, they have at least two Mechanical Arks, Alfonzo I and III.
There are at least two more battleships.
Of course, this strength is much weaker than when it was on the expedition to the Proud Claw Star Territory.
But on the ground, the troops are quite abundant.
If the Alliance wants to take over a Forge World, and the other party is determined to resist, the force that the Alliance will hit on the ground will be massive.
Even orbital support is hard to come by.
The Alliance is not a greenskin. It can develop even if it is blown up and picked up for garbage. After blowing up a forge world, what's the point of Gu Hang going down to fight a ground war?
What he wants is the productivity of the forging world!
But we still have to fight when we need to fight.
They tried to persuade them to surrender first, but the effect was not good.
The entire perimeter protection of Alamita and the railguns on the planet's surface are all in stand, ready for war.
Although there is an internal pest infestation, as a forging world, it still refuses to surrender so easily without a fight.
Gu Hang also showed patience in this regard and did not rush to launch a military attack. He just pressed the army against the border and continued to put pressure.
Playing slowly won't work.
From Gu Hang's point of view, he never had the idea of devoting troops to fight on Ala Mita using the entire planet as a battlefield. However, he must reveal this intention, and even further, he must reveal this ability, so that he can really avoid fighting a war of attrition.
It didn't matter that the first wave of attempts to persuade them to surrender failed. The hundreds of agents who had lurked in the alliance first were already very active.
Their situation also made Gu Hang feel more relieved.
They are all about to go public.
It stands to reason that the enemy's army is approaching the border in large numbers. Shouldn't the hidden lines planted by the enemy's troops inside the house be cleared?
If you hide it too well, there is nothing you can do about it; if such activities are carried out in the open, the result is that they are not caught, or cannot be caught, which in itself explains a lot of problems.
There are bad people among the masses.
No one is covering up and protecting these alliance agents, that's impossible.
Not just one or two people, nor just the middle and lower classes. Otherwise, alliance agents would not be able to engage in political collusion activities relatively openly without being arrested.
Beneath the tough image of the Alamita Forge World that resists to the end, there is an undercurrent surging.
It is always easiest to attack a strong fortress from the inside.
The Alliance Intelligence Center was carrying out intensive work right under Gu Hang's nose. They constantly receive instructions from the agents on the ground, compile them into books, and form professional opinions under the work of analysts.
For example, who can focus on attacking, who can provide shelter to the agents, who can help the agents get in touch with higher-level people, who has a wavering attitude...
These instructions can, in turn, guide the actions of the agents.
Among them, the oil guys who originally belonged to the Alfonzo sect provided a lot of help.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the alliance's intelligence capabilities are, it will not be able to know so many secrets on Alamy Tower and understand so many people in such a short period of time.
But isn't Moreau here?
He was once the foundry general of Alamita, but he knew too many things.
And it's not just him.
Many of the people the alliance gathered along the way were the oil guys who were in Alameda before. There are people at all levels, from mechanical priests to ruling bishops.
Most of them have one characteristic: they are labeled as direct descendants of Moro.
After the great sage Moro was captured and imprisoned, they were inevitably liquidated.
As a dignified casting general, Morrow naturally has a lot of iron rods, and even after a round of cleaning up, he still couldn't clean them all.
Later, Arnault mobilized a group of his iron rods and rescued him, but he ran away. A considerable number of Moreau's iron rods were left in Alamita and could not escape. Naturally, they had to suffer again. To a round of reckoning.
Moreover, this time is particularly important.
Many people were executed and many were imprisoned, but at the same time there were quite a large number of people. It was unclear whether they were direct descendants of Moreau, but they might have something to do with them, so they were exiled.
Among the sixty Alfonzo worlds captured by the alliance, many exiles were also collected.
They may not have been Morrow's die-hards in the past - really, they were either dead or in jail.
But now, they are.
Anyway, Alfonzo has already beaten him into a Moro faction, so what is there to worry about?
Before, this was a disaster;
Right now, that's an opportunity!
And these people who have lived on Ala Mita for countless years can naturally provide a lot of suggestions to the alliance's intelligence department and let them do their work.
But unfortunately, based on current analysis, it is not very likely to directly prompt Alamita to surrender peacefully.
It was the previous two rounds of purges from the Hawks and the will of the Great Sage Varuk that greatly weakened the political and military power originally subordinate to Moreau on Alamy Tower.
Then, Varuk sent many of his own people to take over various important positions on the planet. It is very difficult to instigate rebellion against them.
Even though Alamita seemed to be abandoned, Alfonzo's fleet did not deploy many mobile forces here.
But it is said that a fleet is already gathering from the planet Bostan, which is one of the three forge worlds of the Alfonzo Cult and the largest one.
At the same time, the sect has also asked for help from the Queen's Star Territory, and Humphrey Paul promised to send reinforcements.
As long as they hold on to Ala Mita longer, support from all sides will follow.
Therefore, they have both the will to resist and the value to resist. Those hawkish oil guys are unwilling to surrender and plan to resist to the end.
However, along with this analysis, there was another action proposal that was sent to Gu Hang at the same time.
After Gu Hang read the action suggestions, he sent a copy to Moro, the two Chapter Leaders, and the Chief Glory Guard Officer. Ask them to come over to a meeting after reading it and share their opinions.
Half an hour later, the meeting began; an hour later, the resolution was issued:
Fuck you!
The person responsible for the action was Leo Moretti, the leader of the New Age Torch Chapter who strongly recommended himself and requested to personally participate in the battle.
Gu Hang thought about it and agreed to his request, but at the same time he also sent his trusted chief of the Glory Guards, Eero Lacrocha, to assist in the operation.
La Crocha plays a coordinating role, but in fact, he is responsible for supervising Moretti on Gu Hang’s behalf.
To put it bluntly, although Moretti is called the Chapter Leader, he has very little experience. He had only been a Space Marine for half a year. Although he is already the earliest warrior in the New Age Torch, even though he has hundreds of years old warriors like Wang Mengsong as advisors, and even though he is a genius, he can still train the company champion with the garbage seeds of the New Age Torch. The level of strength can also inspire a wave of enlightenment, close to the level of the group champion...
However, after all, it cannot cover up the problem of his lack of experience. Wang Mengsong was experienced enough, but Gu Hang didn't trust him at all.
But there must always be opportunities for growth, and Gu Hang is willing to give them.
Of course, it is not given blindly, La Crocia is the one who knows the truth.
Although this person is a mortal, his level of strength is by no means weaker than that of some of the best Star Warriors.
