Chapter 466, the alliance rushes to the battlefield!

Chapter 466, the alliance rushes to the battlefield!
After washing the boat, Gu Hang was a little tired and it was not time to rest yet.

He still has a lot of work to do.

The Alliance is preparing for war.

In fact, Cordoba had a sudden glimpse of the alliance's situation and had a two-level reversal of mentality. From thinking that the alliance had tried its best to thinking that the alliance was actually not exerting any effort at all, these thoughts were all wrong.

At least one-sided.

Of course, the alliance is not trying its best, otherwise it will not let the army troops fighting on the front line take turns, depending on the situation, and send new troops to fight in the Temir system.

The Alliance General Headquarters calls this the 'Temir Round Battle'. To put it bluntly, it is a battle-based training, which directly allows the soldiers to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield and fight in person.

This will of course cause more casualties than using veterans, but it is the only way to go.

After the round of battles, the combat effectiveness of the alliance's armies has been clearly improved. Even for some newly formed troops, the proportion of soldiers in the team who have been trained by the [Soldier Card] system is actually not high. But after the 'round battle' and the baptism of the battlefield, the proportion of T5 level soldiers is rising rapidly.

Another manifestation is exactly what Cordoba thought. If the alliance fully responds to the war, it will be impossible for the people on the fringes of power to live a good life.

Although, in many places like Bianma Star District, people's annual consumption is only about 0.6 tax coins, which is actually not high. But this is a relatively poor universe. Compared with the core area of ​​​​the alliance, it is indeed not high; but at the macro level of the entire empire, a citizen of the empire has energy, food, industrial products, housing...all kinds of materials added up. , you can consume 0.6 tax coins a year, which is already quite good.

There are many worlds within the empire, and the people at the bottom are living in dire straits.

The Alliance is still investing resources in basic investment and development of various planets, seeking greater returns in the future.

And if the war situation is really tight and the alliance issues a second-level mobilization order or even a first-level mobilization order, the people's living standards will definitely not be guaranteed. But at the same time, the alliance that squeezes the maximum potential will burst out with a war potential that is much more terrifying than it is now.

The number of soldiers and the production capacity of military products will be doubled or even multiplied several times.

However, the alliance is not really useless at all. From some perspectives, the alliance is actually doing its best.

After all, the level three mobilization order is always online.

The main difference is that under the third-level mobilization order, what the alliance lacks is not actually soldiers or conventional resources. For these things, the Alliance was even rich on the Eastern Front battlefield against the Iron Teeth Clan.

What does the alliance lack?

It's high-precision equipment.

For example, Army tanks, mechas, and even Titans, such as battleships.

And these cannot be obtained by squeezing the people and workers.

How does the alliance obtain these high-precision equipment?
It's a black box.

Of course, every technology, in addition to the black box that directly produces finished products/finished components, also has a mother machine black box that can produce key components of the production line/production line that manufactures the product.

However, this also means that if there is a technology that the alliance does not fully understand, then the alliance will no longer be able to expand the production capacity of the product without the black box of the mother machine.

Just like many lost technologies in the current empire, they are like this: there are only so many production lines that can be produced, and they cannot be expanded.

Of course, the black box cannot be thrown away. But even when black boxes exist, most of the expansion of high-precision production lines can only rely on the black boxes of the mother machine to be generated bit by bit. The alliance cannot build this production line by itself.

This also means that the alliance's speed in expanding those high-precision equipment is limited by the production capacity of the mother machine's black box. It is useless for Gu Hang to squeeze the civilians. The Titan factory and starship dock that have been put into production are already at capacity and cannot accommodate more workers. To build new factories and docks, they need to wait for black box production, and there are workers who can help. Not too busy.

This was the most important reason why Gu Hang didn't take advantage of him.

No matter how much blood and sweat Gu Hang squeezes out of civilians, he can squeeze out soldiers, grain, and primary industrial products. But the high-end equipment that is most in short supply in the league will not increase at all. But the alliance does not lack the former, but the latter.

It would be better to use these resources on the construction of the local planet and improve the living standards of civilians. The former is an investment for higher income in the future, while the latter is a necessary investment to stabilize local society and gain widespread support from the people.

Of course, not every technology extracted from the system has this problem.

The alliance has already mastered some low-tech, basic technologies. These technologies will not have any impact even if the black line disappears. The alliance can still produce and expand production capacity.

For example, G-series rifles, LR-series laser guns, rambler tanks... Even recently, the alliance has thoroughly understood technologies such as Lion tanks, Falcon fighter jets, Sentinel mechas, powered exoskeletons, and Flying Dolphin transport ships. .

However, when it comes to advanced technology, the alliance is still a bit weak.

For example, the Lion Tank, Knight Mecha, Titan, and various types of battleships are all not fully understood.

However, there are two sides to the matter.

It is very difficult and takes a long time to understand these high-level technologies. After all, the black box only gave the alliance such technology, but it could not completely supplement all the industrial foundation the alliance needed.

However, the good news is that after having black boxes and black box products, the alliance's scientific research team will eventually digest all these technologies.

This is actually very rare.

In most worlds, there won't even be such an opportunity.

……

In the past two years, the black box factory located in the Kingdom of Storm God has been producing various types of high-end equipment day and night.

Every time a production line is assembled, the production capacity of the equipment will increase.

In the past two years, the alliance has accumulated a lot of wealth.

The starships one after another, the Dreadnoughts, Knight mechas, and Lion tanks one after another...

In fact, the Alliance even built a production line for the 'Sky-Burning Torpedo' in the past two years.

With the sky-burning torpedoes on Temir 2, coupled with the inventory previously produced in black boxes... the Alliance can now execute more than ten extermination orders.

For some worlds where there are no or very few signs of human activity, where there are a large number of green skins, and where the ecology has been completely transformed, the 'Sky Burning Torpedo' is the most useful tool.

Although, it will cause the entire planet's surface to be burned, the ecosystem to completely collapse, and it will no longer have colonial value. However, compared to filling planet after planet with endless troops and competing with the greenskins for every inch of land, the Sky-Burning Torpedo is more cost-effective.

After all, if we were to take back a planet, the cost of combining sky-burning torpedoes and planetary climate reorganization would be high, but sending the army to seize such planets would not be cheap either.

What's more, in a state of war, the value of the planet itself is secondary, and directly and quickly attacking the greenskin's war potential is a more important thing.

The destroyed world is not completely worthless. After all, it is not an 'earth blast star destroyer'. Humans can still go to that planet and establish mining development.

If colonization fails, the mineral resources will not be burned away by the sky-burning torpedoes.

In addition, during this period, Gu Hang also spent all the gift points he had accumulated in the past two years.

There was no lottery, no money spent on other random things, but all spent on military expansion.

Soldier card training, political commissar training, space warrior training, gene seed exchange...

The average monthly gift points are 3.9, plus the average monthly points provided by 8000 vassals, resulting in a total of more than million gift points, all spent on these aspects.

To build up family wealth, increase war potential, and raise troops... there is no doubt that Gu Hang is preparing for a massive war.

In fact, it didn't take Kazimierz Erso to say that Gu Hang had decided to invest enough power to completely win the Battle of Temir. His current preparations are all aimed at this goal.

However, this war must not be a gamble, and it must not be a war in which the Alliance bets on the fate of the country. Gu Hang cannot fight this war with a force that is similar in size to the greenskin orcs, or even slightly superior. If possible, Gu Hang will use five or ten times the force to crush the greenskins in the Temir galaxy, ensuring that they can be killed or crushed in one wave, so that this main force of greenskins can no longer pose any threat to the Alliance.

As for what to do next, Gu Hang also has two choices, or rush into the green skin's lair, take advantage of its emptiness, burn, kill and loot - oh, without the latter two, the green skin has nothing to plunder.

Alternatively, you can choose to go down from the southwest and attack the main frontal force of greenskins led by Titus with the main army of the Human Empire.

This will depend on the war situation at that time.

But for now, the alliance's first war goal, which is also the most important goal, is just the Golden Pass star region, right in Temir.

But even though Gu Hang has already made up his mind to fight this decisive battle, the alliance has its own rhythm, and it is absolutely impossible to follow the requirements of 'Rage Flame' Erso, such as two months and four months.

Pull you down.

……

Erso already knows what happened in the Pegasus sector.

Captain Cordoba does not have the ability to directly contact Jindi Star, and Erso cannot directly contact Cordoba.

However, Erso can contact the Winged Star.

When the time was almost up, he asked the chief think tank of the battle group, a psyker equivalent to a mortal A+ level, to open the communication with the Winged Star.

He was asking whether the Cordoba team had arrived, and whether the alliance had launched a full-scale attack in accordance with his requirements and arrangements.

The Alliance responded that they had indeed welcomed a group of people claiming to be the 'Rage Flame' Chapter, but the identities of these people could not be determined and were currently being verified.

Erso was furious and asked Gu Hang to talk to him personally.

Gu Hang was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he sent Salihovich to come and have a fight with Erso. Letting my chief diplomat communicate with you is enough to give you face!
Of course Erso would not think so. He threatened several times to declare the Alliance and Gu Hang as traitors. Salihovich smiled and explained to him the difficulties of the alliance and what kind of support it needed. He secretly questioned that Erso's identity as commander-in-chief had never been recognized by the alliance. The appointment signed by the head of the star field was of doubtful effectiveness... …

In short, from all angles, Salikhovich, a talkative person, rambled a lot, but said not a single word of substance.

Erso is not someone to be fooled. After many exchanges, he certainly knows that Cordoba and the others are safe, but their situation may not be that good. He was also angry that the Alliance dared to actually ignore and delay his orders.

However, some of the current conditions of the alliance that Salihovich 'revealed' in his words also made him secretly frightened. No matter how angry he was, he still had to consider whether it was feasible to declare the Alliance to be traitors.

It's not difficult for him to do this. It has been some time since the Raging Flame Battle Group intervened in the Eastern Space Territory. Although the overall expansion of influence is not particularly good, at least the relationship with the Grand Tribunal of the Eastern Universe is good.

Moreover, the current 'current management', the entire star domain government of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, now relies entirely on the fighting of the Raging Flames. Almost everyone from top to bottom has turned into an administrative logistics group, trying their best to still be able to actually control the situation. Collect resources from various star regions and planets to provide for the war. Star Territory Leader Tan Jiuyi and his gang can almost be said to be in the shape of angry flames.

On the other hand, Jin Dixing's Mingyang Sect is a bit tougher - they also have strong capital. Space Marines must ensure a certain amount of respect for the Mechanicus, even if it is just a branch sect. Not to mention the future, in this war, although the Mingyang Sect lost their main fleet, their Skitarii and their Titan Legion are still a very important force. Sometimes Erso I still have to beg these oil guys to order some.

In general, if Erso thinks about it, with his status as Chapter Master, as Commander-in-Chief appointed by the Star Territory Government, and his good relationship with the Inquisition, coupled with the fact that the Star Territory Government dare not disobey, he really Gu Hang can be convicted of treason.

But he also has concerns.

One is the issue of effectiveness. This kind of treason issued by the star domain government and given by a few middle-level judges is a bit doubtful in its effectiveness. But that’s fine if the legality is just questionable. The key point is that the sentence cannot be enforced.

If you accuse someone of treason, what next?

Counterinsurgency? Obviously he doesn't have the strength, and he's still fighting the greenskins here.

Looking for foreign aid, such as imperial troops from other star regions to quell the rebellion? Then why not just jump into the frontal battlefield?
Coming to fight a serious enemy of the empire like the greenskins, with clear meritorious deeds, they still have to look at the situation and cherish their strength, or they may not be able to come because they have troubles at home, let alone fight against the alliance.

Things that are not clear to you within the Star Territory are so rubbish. How could the foreign military intervene casually without clear interests?
In addition to the issue of effectiveness, a bigger problem is that Erso is also worried that the stalemate on the Eastern Front battlefield can still be maintained. If he does some tricks and destroys the Eastern Front, it will be really fun.

Because of these considerations, Erso could only continue to issue threats in many communications with Salihovich, but he never dared to take any particularly clear actions.

However, his patience was gradually worn away during this period.

Originally, the battle was not going well, and I still suffered from anger every day.

That Governor Gu is such a big deal!

Until now, Erso has never heard a word from Gu Hang himself.

When the accumulated irritation due to various reasons became more and more serious, Erso finally couldn't control his mentality.

He once again brought out from the bottom of his heart the idea of ​​declaring treason to the alliance that he had suppressed with reason before.

If Gu Hang continues to be so provocative, he might actually do this.

I take the overall situation into consideration, but you don’t, right?

Then don't blame me for being rude!

However, just when he could no longer hold it in any longer, a communication from Wuji Star, the capital of the Eastern Universe, woke him up.

Zuo Zhaofeng, Chairman of the Universe, personally made this call and paid attention to the battle situation in the Dragon Eagle Star Region.

After Chairman Zuo thanked the Raging Flames for responding to the call and praised the achievements of the Raging Flames in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, he specifically mentioned the battlefield on the eastern front of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory.

He seemed to have a good understanding of the war situation on the Eastern Front, and his words were full of praise.

In his words, what Gu Hang and his alliance did on the eastern front of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory were exemplary. Not only did it withstand the pressure of the battlefield, but it also protected the flame of human civilization during the war. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the whole society was united.

The compliments themselves are nothing. However, the political significance revealed made Kazimierz Erso have to become sensitive.

Zuo Zhaofeng would come to pay attention to the situation in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory. It was normal.

This is not the first time they have called each other. After all, this is an important war taking place in his area of ​​rule. In fact, the Eternal Territory Government has also provided very important support. Currently, 40% of the resources consumed by the Dragon Eagle Star Territory on the battlefield come from the support of the Eternal Territory Government. Moreover, the wave of reinforcements that Erso was waiting for, in addition to the reinforcements from his own battle group, were mobilized from the Space Domain Government.

However, when he specifically mentioned Gu Hang, he seemed to have a certain meaning.

Erso had to think deeply again about what Gu Hang and the alliance meant.

After Gu Hang pissed him off, of course he also investigated some of Gu Hang's details.

He knew that Gu Hang seemed to have a good relationship with the current Executive Minister of the Central Military Affairs Department of the Empire and the former War Apostle, Bogeo Gallardo.

But in his original judgment, one was a high-ranking official of the empire, and the other was a sector-level leader. How good could the relationship be, no matter how good it was?

What's more, the three major battle groups of Iron Armor, Raging Flame, and Rock Shield also have people in the center of the empire.

Their faction is not the same as Borgia Gallardo.

We are not in the same faction, so what face should I give you?

But now it seems that we can no longer think like this.

Erso is not afraid of offending Gallardo, as the sky is high and the emperor is far away; however, Zuo Zhaofeng is in charge.

They originally wanted to expand their influence in the Eastern Universe, and Zuo Zhaofeng, the chairman of the Universe, was a key figure.

Moreover, he also knew that Zuo Zhaofeng and Gallardo were in the same group. When Zuo Zhaofeng spoke in support of Gu Hang, did that mean that Gu Hang's status in the Gallardo political faction was actually not low?

Erso must reassess the impact of this incident.

What's more, even if he tried to offend a large number of people, the power of a Zhouyu chairman should not be underestimated. If Chairman Zuo carries this 'treason' on his shoulders, I'm afraid he won't even be able to approve it!
Kazimierz Erso felt like he was almost hurt internally by the pressure.

At this moment, half a year has passed since he sent people to the Tianma star area. He was so determined to be out of sight and out of mind that he didn't even bother to call the Eastern Front anymore.

Gu Hang quickly returned my people, and I just pretended that the battlefield no longer existed!

It’s okay for me to hit myself, right?
But at this time, he received an unsolicited call from the alliance.

The person talking to him was no longer Salihovich, but a man who claimed to be the general political commissar of the Alliance Military and Political Department, General Thaddeus.

Thaddeus' style is completely different from Salikhovich's. In a very serious manner, he informed him of something:
"In the name of the alliance's general political commissar, I fulfill my obligation to inform friendly forces of our military operations: the alliance has decided that in three days, the entire army will march towards the Temir system. General Gu Hang will personally go out to get an overview of the overall situation."

Such a short sentence once again made Erso so angry that he was about to get angry.

I asked you to attack across the board half a year ago, but you didn't even bother. Now, I don't even count on you, so you're going to fight?

Then why didn't you say it earlier?

Did you say this would happen?
Is it because of combat time planning issues?
It’s not non-negotiable! Let’s talk!
……

Gu Hang actually never cared about what Kazimierz Erso thought.

When Salihovich was asked to deal with it, he told the diplomats that he could handle the matter on his own without coming to tell him.

Don't care at all.

At the moment, asking Thaddeus to tell Erso the news of his march is literally just fulfilling his obligation to inform friendly forces.

He didn't need, let alone expect, Erso to cooperate.

Of course, he doesn't underestimate Erso's ability. As long as this chapter leader is not stupid, he actually has only one choice: to cooperate and coordinate the alliance's offensive.

It's up to you to figure out what happens.

For Gu Hang, all his energy at the moment is already focused on the current war.

Winning the war is the key to everything.

Gu Hang boarded the flagship of the Alliance Navy Fleet, the "Yuhuo Nova".

After two years of intensive repair, transformation, and purification, this Retribution-class battleship has completely changed its appearance.

From the original dark and blood-red appearance, full of dilapidation and madness, it is now painted with blue and white paint.

It has a new life.

According to the chief technical advisor of Feiyingxing Shipyard, the commanding bishop Wang Zhaoran, the machine soul of this battleship is now calm and stable, ready to go, and is ready to fight for the empire again!
Under the leadership of the "Yuhuo Nova", dozens of newly built warships and twice the number of civilian ships served as transport ships departed from the Flying Wing Star Port and came from the Raging Owl Galaxy.

This new fleet, with a total number of over a hundred, set off from the Flying Wing Galaxy and rushed to the battlefield!

It’s late but 6k!

Still owe 54k
