Chapter 416: Complicated Situation

[Welcome to the reincarnation main world, Warhammer 40K universe-SSS level]

[The camp selection has been extended for you - the human camp plot line]

[Please start your reincarnation adventure! ]

…

The sound of the reincarnation world sounded as promised.

When he received this prompt, Fu Qinghai was discussing some future combat arrangements with Inquisitor Sid Nora.

Regarding the Iron Belt War Zone, the two reached a preliminary consensus - the original plan was too conservative.

During the conversation, Fu Qinghai not only deepened his understanding of the Great Inquisitor, but also secretly guessed which faction she belonged to.

First of all, she was able to think of using the Chapter Think Tank to deal with Chaos Demons. She was definitely not from the Puritan faction but most likely from the Radical faction.

Because many extreme purist inquisitors advocate that humans should completely disconnect from psychic powers, the Mechanicus is not allowed to study the Warp, and the Space Marines and Imperial Guards are not allowed to have psychics.

But there are too many factions within the three major tribunals. Even the radical faction is further divided into: the Xansi faction, the Zanant faction, the Tolup faction, the Reunification faction, the Istvan faction...

Who knows which sect she belongs to?

in other words.

Who knows how radical she is?

The power of the Inquisitor is great.

Compared to the countless population of the Human Empire, the three major tribunals only had a few hundred people at their peak.

Their individual combat power may vary, and most Inquisitors probably cannot beat a Space Marine, but the resources they can mobilize are very sufficient. Except for the troops of the Mechanicus which cannot be deployed, the Imperial Guard, Imperial Navy, Planetary Defense Force, Astartes Chapter... can all be dispatched.

Among them, the Astartes Chapter is a bit special. Some of the unruly founding chapters may not be able to be mobilized even by the High Lords Council of Terra. When facing the Astartes Chapter, the Inquisitors usually use "request" instead of "mobilization" to request the Astartes Chapter to assist them in their operations. Generally speaking, facing the common enemy of mankind, most chapters are willing to lend a helping hand.

There was once an alien inquisitor who wanted to investigate the wandering merchants who were colluding with the Blood Axe Clan orc pirates. He came to the Iron Pagoda Regiment specifically to borrow troops. The old warlord Fu Qinghai also bargained and put forward a lot of conditions before he was willing to send troops to help suppress the bandits.

"You may come to my flagship, but your acolytes and servants must remain on this Imperial Clipper, but your ship can depart with my fleet."

Fu Qinghai said to Sid Nora.

It is rare for an Inquisitor to act alone, let alone a Grand Inquisitor. The configuration of an Inquisitor's personal team is like that in ordinary adventure novels: a clerk, an assassin, a psyker, a tech-priest...

However, Fu Qinghai only allowed Sid Nora himself to board the Suzheng, and other staff members were not allowed to board the ship.

"I can do it alone."

Sid Nora says:

"All my followers are left at the airport."

"That's fine."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

The Imperial Clippers are not armed warships. If they set out with the Chapter Fleet, they will be unable to protect themselves if they encounter a battle. It is better for them to stay at the airport of the Forge World of Atar Median.

There is a reason why the Atar Median Forge World has become the base camp of the Loyalists in the Iron Belt. In fact, this forge world was originally just an uninhabited and dead world similar to Phaeton. The Phaethon Forge World in the Solar Star Region transferred one-third of its production capacity and volume here, which led to the creation of the Atar Median Forge World.

It was not an original forge world in the Iron Belt, and was not affected by the local independent thought. It was also not a forge world directly under Mars, and was not affected by the rebellion of the forge master. Its loyalty was beyond words. When the Horus Heresy first broke out, it noticed that other forge worlds in the Iron Belt were undercurrents. Without waiting for others to declare rebellion, Atar Median Forge World took the lead and took the initiative to attack its neighbors, strangling the seeds of rebellion in the cradle.

It can be regarded as a model of loyalty in the world.

The empire's troops and supplies are gathered here without having to worry about any conspiracies or plots from the local residents.

Why do you say that?

Fu Qinghai soon found out.

According to the original plan, the Chapter fleet is about to head to the Zheras Space Station to participate in the counterinsurgency battle there.

In the captain's room, Fu Qinghai was rotating a holographic projection of the star map on the table to check the locations of various galaxies in the Iron Ring Belt. Sid Nora was standing beside him.

"There are two main contradictions in the steel belt."

Sid Nora pointed to the star map and explained:

"The first is the conflict between forge worlds. For example, between High Valia and Goreia. Goreia was the first to surrender to the Empire, and the Empire led the Star Traveler Titan Legion of Goreia's forge world to conquer High Valia. After High Valia surrendered to the Empire, it demanded that Goreia compensate for the damage caused in the previous war of aggression, but Goreia refused. This is a kind of conflict."

According to Sid Nora.

The Forge World of Graya was very dependent on the supercomputer under the earth's crust. They calculated the overall military strength of the human empire by assessing the size of an imperial expeditionary fleet. After feeling that they were no match for the empire, the Forge World surrendered to the empire without firing a single shot.

At the same time, the Forge World of High Valia had conquered several surrounding galaxies and was in high spirits. It was not that they were unwilling to submit to the Empire, but they wanted to use a war to let the Empire feel their own strength and strive for a transcendent position in the future. Then, as expected, they were beaten up.

"The second type is the conflicts within the Forge World. For example, on Spider Web, one faction of the Hunter Titan Legion on this Forge World followed the Empire to participate in the expedition and was loyal, while the other faction stayed in the Forge World and was determined to rebel. After the rebellion broke out, the Titan Legion split into two factions. After the loyal Titans rushed back to their homeland, they immediately fought fiercely with the rebellious Titans. There are still many conflicts within this planet."

Sid Nora continued:

"We not only need to deal with the Dark Mechanicus, but also have to be wary of those dissidents who are already dissatisfied with the previous civil wars in the Iron Belt and various ambitious speculators. Some worlds have suffered from the trauma of war and are resentful of the Imperial Army, so this battle will be difficult to fight."

"It's a bit complicated."

Fu Qinghai frowned and touched his chin.

It's like when the United Nations sends peacekeeping forces to Africa to suppress warlord forces, it not only needs to consider the local warlords, but also the attitude of the local people towards itself.

Unlike the peacekeeping forces, which at least maintain an overwhelming and absolute advantage in weapons and equipment and the quality of their personnel over African countries, almost every Forge World has a Titan Legion. If they have any ill intentions, it is hard to say who will be defeated when the Astartes meet the Titan Legion.

Because of the highly decentralized and autonomous model of the Human Empire, which only collects taxes and does not care about other things, the situations on many planets are actually very complicated, but they will not become a problem.

Because they don't have a Titan Corps.

And this is where the steel ring gets tricky.

The Inquisitor showed her profound knowledge and erudition. Sid Nora was able to grasp so much information, which showed that the Inquisitor not only knew the White Scars, but also the Iron Ring. Fu Qinghai always admired this kind of knowledgeable woman. She reminded him of Elijah Lavallee, the female general of the Military Affairs Department, the "Szu" of the White Scars, who was also a woman of erudition and erudition. It was unknown whether Szu was in Terra or Chogris, and whether she was still alive.

I saw Fu Qinghai fell into deep thought.

Sid Nora threw out another piece of bad news:

"Besides that, there are some other issues that may not be as thorny, but they are also a bit troublesome."

"for example?"

"For example, this world of knights."

Sid Nora raised his hand and pointed to a planet.

"Orestes?"

Fu Qinghai read out the name of the planet.

"Yes, Orestes, an ancient world of chivalry, but also a feudal world."

Sid Nora said.

Most of the knight worlds are feudal worlds, and they specifically emphasize the knight world because the technology in most feudal worlds, such as Chogris, is not advanced, but the technology in the knight world is often more advanced, at least higher than the average level of the empire, but the political system they implement is very primitive and backward.

Sid Nora continued:

"A civil war is breaking out between several knight families in the Orestes Knight World. Among them, the loyal knight family, the Draconis family, announced not long ago that they would replace the gears on their banners and emblems with sky eagles."

Sid Nora raised his head and asked:

"Do you know what this means?"

"This means that House Draconis no longer owes allegiance to the Adeptus Mechanicus, and instead owes allegiance directly to the Imperium and Terra."

Fu Qinghai said calmly.

Sid Nora nodded and said:

"Yes, as far as I know, as early as when the Iron Calamity broke out, perhaps due to the rebellion of the Forge Master or the failure of the Loyal Titan Legion to rescue them, in short, the Draconis family had complaints about the Mechanicus for a long time, but at this critical juncture, they announced their separation from the Mechanicus..."

The Inquisitor did not continue.

But Fu Qinghai understood what she meant.

There are two types of Knight Families, one loyal to the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the other loyal to Holy Terra.

The former is more common, because the maintenance and operation of the knight mecha often requires the support of technical priests, who generally fight side by side with the Titan Legion and are vassal knight families of the Titan Legion, stationed on the same forge world.

The latter is relatively rare. The knight families that are directly loyal to Holy Terra certainly have their own technical priests, but they do not fight together with the Titan Legion. Instead, they fight independently as a group of knights, and often rule a feudal world alone.

There are also some knights who do not pledge allegiance to anyone and wander the galaxy in groups. These people are called "Free Blades".

Whether you are loyal to Holy Terra or the Mechanicus, you are one of the two heads of the Empire's double-headed eagle. In theory, there is nothing wrong with this behavior, but as Sid Nora said, why did you change your mind earlier or later, and now you change your flag and declare allegiance to Terra? Isn't this simply disgusting to the Mechanicus?

The Dark Mechanicus invaded the Iron Ring, and this Knight family announced that it would break away from the Mechanicus and pledge allegiance to Terra... It's really a good time to choose. Even if you have some old grudges in the past, this behavior will more or less create some estrangement between Terra and Mars... Could it be a trick of Tzeentch?

Fu Qinghai was a little speechless.

"This caused the ruling sage Hieronymus Gant to be very unhappy with the Draconis family. He wanted to send them to a battlefield that did not belong to the knight mecha, and then..."

Sid Nora said helplessly.

And then die, right?

Fu Qinghai understood.

I thought these oil guys were really petty.

It's just an employee who changed jobs. You are not generous at all.

The decision of the Draconis family to change their flag may also have historical reasons, because Mars' image during the entire rebellion was not glorious. Some people may ask: How come two of the three Titan Legions of Mars rebelled? Isn't this nonsense? If the Mars Forge Master Kalbor Har has rebelled, most of the Tech-Priests and Titan Legions must have followed him.

Through the conversation with Sid Nora, Fu Qinghai had a general understanding of the entire Iron Belt war zone.

Now let's get back to the original topic.

Fu Qinghai thought about it and finally said,

"If you want to convince the Marshal and the Sage to change the existing battle plan, you must provide solid evidence, not just a guess. I will send a company and a strike cruiser under your command to find this evidence."

Sid Nollage said:

"Doesn't your regiment have a think tank? Thank you for your support, but I must remind you that when you follow me to investigate, you may encounter many unexpected enemies."

Unexpected enemy = Chaos Demon.

"We don't really have a think tank."

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"But we have some other equipment."

The Inquisitor was about to ask what kind of equipment it was when the voice of the attendant came from the loudspeaker on the desk:

"Khan, we have arrived at the Zheras Space Station."

Fu Qinghai picked up the helmet on the table:

"If Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor has no objection, then let's make this arrangement for now. I'm going to fight now."

Sid Nora nodded slightly, watched Fu Qinghai walk out of the captain's room, and said,

"May the Emperor bless you, Khan."

　　1. The name of the Titan used by the protagonist should be "Po Jun Jin Jia". I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies. I think it is more important to have a meme than to sound good. "All New and Different" is a meme paying homage to Marvel. "Asura's Wrath" is a meme paying homage to a game. The boss of that game is pretty good, and the world view is also a fusion of science fiction and magic. "Po Jun Jin Jia" is a mod... It can barely be considered a game meme. I looked at the other highly praised names, and they don't have any memes.
