Chapter 512, Occupation Act
In 230, the tenth millennium of the empire's founding, the Imperial Princess's Rebellion was the biggest news in the entire empire.
At first, it was just a blast, just something that would always happen in the eyes of many high-level people, and it finally happened. Although it came earlier than expected and more suddenly, since it was already expected, it was not unexpected.
The attitude of most people in the empire is that it will be difficult to put down this rebellion. The empire will have to deploy a lot of forces, and it may take a year to fight? Two years?
It should be about the same anyway, right?
However, what happened next left many people stunned.
The rebellion broke out in February;
In March, Melandri defected, and the entire empire was scolded. The Inquisition clamored for the Iron Armor Chapter to pay the price;
The Tianyuan VI incident occurred in August. A Grand Inquisitor, 8 official inquisitors of all levels, more than 400 Blood Rose Battle Sisters, and a loyal war group... Such an elite force was destroyed, leaving the Heretic Tribunal He closed his mouth and went to lick his wounds silently.
In October, the entire northern line of the Spider Web Universe was penetrated, and the war burned into the Galactus Universe. On Holy Terra, the representative of the Chairman of the Galactus Space Domain, who occupies a seat in the Supreme Council, lashed out at the meeting, including Ou Kyren, Gallardo, who was not qualified to attend the meeting, and those who stayed in the Eastern Space Domain of the Empire and were quite far away. Gu Hang. Representatives from the Galactus Space Domain believe that their overly radical actions a year and a half ago resulted in them being forced to go to war with the Iron Armor Chapter while being completely unprepared. Now, their swallowing star universe has suffered as they first feared.
The following year, in January 10231, the world, the capital of the Spider Space Domain, fell.
Although, this does not mean that the spider web domain has completely fallen. The Spider Web Universe is a much larger area than the Eastern Universe. There are nearly ten thousand worlds there, and it is unlikely that they will all be captured or surrendered within a year. In particular, the Iron Armor Chapter actually accumulated strength to fight a few key battles, instead of dividing its troops into countless troops in order to quickly sweep across various places.
Their home planet is in the western border of the empire, separated by an entire empire's territory, so they can't get through.
There are currently only six combat groups that have responded to the call. It will probably take several months to fully assemble them. After all, people need to come from all over the place.
The representative from the Death Squadron was unwilling to reveal what the specific matter was, and no one could force him to do so.
However, first of all, the quantity is still not enough.
When the Holy Terra government reached this stage, it was especially under direct pressure from the representatives of the Galactus universe in the Supreme Council, and several universe governments around the Spider Web universe also expressed their concerns. At that time, Holy Terra was really a little numb.
At this time, if a huge external crisis suddenly occurs, it will be really difficult to deal with.
They had something else to do.
However, there are a few battle groups that have indeed responded to the call and have begun to gather.
Just go there.
The space warrior from the Death Angel Chapter had already received a request for help from the Supreme Council. They hoped that the Death Angel Chapter could play their role and come to support this war.
The power that can now be gathered to fight against the Iron Fury Stone is very insufficient, at least it is completely unable to make the gentlemen on Holy Terra feel at ease.
However, the Death Angel Chapter refused the request for help.
However, after the fall of the capital, the entire spider web domain basically became a piece of meat on the chopping board. Whatever the Iron Armor Legion wants to eat, they can just cut a piece of it off themselves.
There are only six battle groups alone, let alone Tiejai's family, which is worth ten.
There are green skins one after another; there is a small one here in the Void Hive that needs to be cleared; there are a lot of cult activities in some worlds; there are rebels, there are pirates...
There are hundreds of worlds in a star domain, and thousands of worlds in a cosmic domain. The original military strength is usually insufficient to deal with the problems within its own territory.
Fortunately, there are Space Marine representatives on this Supreme Council.
The Death Angel Chapter, which was restructured from the First Legion, was not only a founding Chapter, but also the first Space Marine Legion to be established during the Legion period. During the establishment stage of the Empire and in the years to come, it was worthy of mentioning. It is said that the military exploits are absolutely outstanding. The entire Chapter is quite powerful and possesses many secret weapons that even the Holy Terra government does not possess - oh, they themselves never admit it.
And some war groups, such as those operating in the Galactus universe, as well as the military forces of this universe, are actually difficult to gather together. Although the threat posed by the Iron Fury Stone is closely related to them, one problem is that each universe has its own problems.
Now, the battle groups standing on the Iron Armor side are no longer just the three original 'Iron Fury Stone' families. Of the other seven battle groups in the spider web domain, three have been destroyed, one has escaped, and the other three have been killed. Everyone stood on Iron Armor's side.
However, he still replaced the leader of the Death Angel Chapter, who was currently a high lord, and played a little role as a high lord. He said that he would help contact and invite some other war groups, especially those active in the eastern and northern borders of the empire, to see who is more free and can come to help with this big favor.
In this case, the Supreme Council on Holy Terra was held again and again.
The high lords are constantly exchanging opinions and resources to see who you can contact, how many soldiers and horses, how many supplies, and when they can arrive...
In fact, after calculation, the power that can be gathered, at least from the paper data, is very large and very powerful.
But the problem is that it often takes a long time for these forces to be assembled.
Some people who can come quickly should not be sent directly to the battlefield, otherwise wouldn't it become a fueling tactic to save grandpa?
But if it takes a long time to assemble, who knows what will happen in the spider web domain by then? Who knows if the disaster at that time was no longer limited to one spider web domain?
Under such circumstances, when another meeting of the high lords began, Gallardo entered.
Thirteen high lords sat at the top, looking at Gallardo condescendingly.
Perhaps Gallardo will sit among their ranks in the future, but at least not yet.
Under the scrutiny of these eyes, Gallardo suppressed some strange emotions in his heart and bowed respectfully to the high lords.
Then, he said: "This time, I am here to report to the rulers of the empire and the respected high lords about the chairman of the Eastern Universe, the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, the Marshal of the Star Army, the legal multi-star The commander-in-chief of the political body 'alliance', Gu Hang's needs..."
"Okay, we already know what Gu Hang wants." The Prime Minister of the Administration Department couldn't wait to interrupt Gallardo, "But I have a question: What does that so-called alliance mean? Is it because Gu Hang won't send troops if Holy Terra doesn't give him the benefits he wants? Is his loyalty to interests rather than loyalty to the empire? "
This is already a very serious accusation.
But Galal was more calm: "Of course not, no one understands Gu Hang better than me. He is definitely an extremely loyal imperial official. After what happened in the spider web domain, he was more worried than anyone else. Please don't doubt Gu Hang. From Hang's point of view, we are in Holy Terra, and it is quite far away for Tie Kai to attack; his alliance is directly under Tie Kai's front, but with good luck now, the traitor Humphrey Paul It's not just going south. The threat he faces is greater than any of us, and he also wants to solve the threat of Iron Armor faster than any of us."
"Haha." Another high lord spoke, "Why do the Iron Armored Legion fight so fiercely to the west and north, but not to the south? Who knows if there is something dirty between them that they dare not tell anyone? Dirty deal?" Another deeper accusation.
But Gallardo did not intend to continue to be cowardly at this time. He said: "I don't quite understand what you mean. It seems that you really want the league to stand with Humphrey Paul? Imagine if What would happen if that scene really happened?"
"Presumptuous!" someone yelled at him.
Ou Curen, who was sitting at the top, also spoke: "We all know Gu Hang's loyalty. If something like this is impossible to happen, Borgia, please don't use it to scare everyone."
It sounded like he was reprimanding Gallardo in a neither soft nor hard manner, but in fact his attitude was quite clear, directly identifying Gu Hang as loyal.
if not?
Gallardo restrained himself a little, and said: "Dear Lords, please understand that the Alliance is essentially the only composite force we can expect that brings together the Space Marines, the Navy Fleet, and the Astra Militarum. And it has the support of hundreds of direct worlds. If you allow it, the power of the entire Eastern Universe can be integrated by the alliance, and we will have a sharp blade in the south of Iron Fury Stone."
"If you do not agree to the conditions of the alliance, of course it does not mean that the alliance will stand on the other side, and it will not affect Gu Hang's loyalty. However, we must also respect the objective facts. If we do not provide support to the alliance, If we can't let Gu Hang gather enough strength, how can we let him fight against the Iron Armor Chapter?"
"Let the alliance be given away in vain just like the forces that were destroyed in the spider web domain before, and then let the situation that was originally leaking from two sides turn into a collapse on three sides?"
"Please wake up, everyone, we need the Alliance, we need it to be a strong shield in the southern part of the Spider Web Domain, and it can also be turned into a sharp sword when necessary. On this basis, the most important thing we should do is to go all out Support him and don't let what happened in the Spider Web Domain happen again."
"As for the doubts that Gu Hang did not gain any benefit, he stayed stationed... This is a malicious interpretation. Isn't it the most appropriate thing for Gu Hang to do this? The empire did not give him any additional authorization. He is just the commander of the alliance. Dragon Eagle The leader of the Star Territory, what status and authority does he have to interfere in the affairs of the Menghe Star Territory? If he really did something, should today's meeting become a denouncement meeting against him? "
Speaking of the latter part, Gallardo still couldn't hold it back and showed a bitter and sarcastic face.
But this time, no one criticized him.
The high lords each have their own thoughts.
"Let's enter the voting stage." Ou Cure said, while also winking at Gallardo below.
Gallardo bowed and excused himself.
He is not yet a high lord, and he is not qualified to be present during the voting stage.
However, Gallardo believes that a position will be available for him in the near future.
...
"Gu Hang, you didn't see the way I sprayed them in the Supreme Council!" Gallardo was boasting.
"Ha... ha... what... is the final result... like?" Gu Hang's voice came from the star language communication, but it seemed very laggy.
Gallardo was stunned for a moment, but answered Gu Hang's question first: "Of course there is no problem with the result. Although the number of votes is quite thrilling, you now have the legal qualification to occupy the land. Every planet you conquer, Everyone can join within the framework of the alliance!"
"Then...thank you so much...for relieving me of...my worries..."
Gallardo finally couldn't help but ask: "What's going on over there? Why are there so many lags?"
"I'm...on a starship."
"?"
"The main force of the alliance has entered the Menghe star area, and I will personally lead the team." When talking about this, Gu Hang's signal finally became better.
"I should just tell you the result, right? If the Supreme Council fails to pass the discussion, then..."
Gu Hang smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? You have already taken action in person, how can I still believe that you can catch me?"
Gallardo also smiled: "Then I wish you success!"
...
After the communication with Gallardo ended, Gu Hang continued to do his own things.
Regarding this iron armor war, Gu Hang has made a decision and will definitely participate.
In fact, it is impossible for him to stand on the same front as Tie Kai.
Not just the interests, not just the previous grudges.
The most important point is that Gu Hang never believes that Tie Jia will be the ultimate winner.
No matter how big the hidden interests are, as long as you can't win in the end, no matter how much money you make in the process, it's meaningless.
But he won't go to the core of the spider web space right now.
The Land Occupation Act came out, and Gu Hang planned to take advantage of the influence that the Raging Flame Chapter had spent many years building up in the Menghe Star Territory.
Within the Menghe Star Territory, there are many planets that are directly or indirectly providing help to the Iron Fury Stone. This is a fact.
All these supports must be cut off!
Send troops, take control of planets, and clean up the accounts.
In order to eliminate the influence, the Alliance stationed troops, is it reasonable? It's reasonable to dispatch officials to manage it, right? Under the "Occupancy Act", it seems logical to be included in the alliance framework!
