Chapter 847: Mr. Gu has a big appetite!
After fighting side by side with the brother chapter of the Iron Fist Ambassadors again after many years, the chapter leader of the Cyborg Butchers, Batchelor, was completely relieved.
The situation of the Brotherhood is improving. The people are from the Alliance, the equipment is from the Alliance, but so what?
The regiment adheres to the tactical combat style that it is best at, and because the quality, number and equipment of its personnel have become superior, it can exert its advantages to a greater extent.
The culture of the regiment has been consistently inherited. Whether it is the names engraved on the armor or the roar of the salute after the end of the war, Batcher has seen and remembered them all.
Even the commanders of the regiment were all old men. Owei was still the commander of the regiment, and all the commanders of the regiment were veterans.
Of course, there are also some new recruits from the Alliance who have reached high positions. There is a company commander and a technical sergeant. There are also some other sergeants and flag sergeants. But the new recruits who can reach high positions are all elites. In addition to their own outstanding abilities, those who can be selected are often people that Owei admires. Such people are often recognized by the chapter leader and are "their own people" who inherit the chapter culture.
So, what is there to worry about?
It was not only the situation inside the Iron Fist Ambassadors that made Bachel feel at ease, but also the relationship between the two chapters. Although the Iron Fist Ambassadors had a lot of new recruits, almost 90%, and the old soldiers of the Steel Butcher did not know them. But after fighting side by side, the more the Steel Butcher soldiers looked at these familiar yet unfamiliar brother chapter members with a critical attitude, the more they felt that the sense of familiarity far outweighed the sense of strangeness.
They may have different backgrounds, unlike the old iron-fisted ambassadors, many of the new recruits were simply recruited from their home planet of the Steel Butcher. However, the characteristics and personalities they showed were no different from those of the old iron-fisted ambassadors.
The soldiers of the two regiments still have a lot of common topics. The new recruits of the Iron Fist Ambassador are very willing to listen to the old soldiers of the Cyborg Butcher, telling the stories of the two regiments fighting together in history. And the old soldiers of the Cyborg, listening to the new recruits of the Iron Fist talk about their combat concepts and the history of inheritance, it seems like the past, and those young faces gradually overlap with the "old guys" in their impressions.
That's how relationships are built.
In the future, the two regiments will still be steadfast brotherhoods.
Butcher is already reflecting.
He felt that it was wrong for him to have doubts about the alliance before.
The Chapter has clearly signed an agreement to join the Dark Side Crusade and accept full assignment from the Space Marines Administration Association, but it openly and covertly resists all kinds of help and missions from the Alliance. This is quite schizophrenic, has no practical benefits, and will only bring negative effects.
He decided to cooperate well from now on.
I hope that in the future, Cyborg Butcher will receive the same treatment as the Iron Fist Ambassador.
From troop replenishment to equipment supply, if the alliance can provide complete support, then the Cyborg Butcher will be able to quickly return to his peak.
And there is no fear of loss.
No matter how bad the war is, the regiment will be able to get complete supplies after the battle.
He was looking forward to that scene.
…
The glorious Queen's battleship 'Front' is currently the headquarters of the Western Front Expeditionary Force.
Gu Hangren was among them.
The news of the victory in the Battle of Syrwind Star has arrived. Along with the battle report, there is also a personal letter from Chapter Captain Batchelor of the Steel Bone Regiment, which expresses his humility and loyalty.
Of course, Gu Hang had no objection to this. He wrote a letter, comforted the other party with gentle words, and promised that after the war, the alliance would have time to give them protection.
At this time, Gu Hang was able to see that the name of the Steel Bone Butcher appeared in his [War Group] list.
That means there are another two thousand spots for Space Marine gene-seed.
The Steel Butcher was also the first war group recognized by the system among the seven war groups encountered in the advancing space domain.
Before the arrival of the Alliance army, the seven remnant groups in the Advancing Space Domain all accepted Tai Shichen's command one by one and joined the united front. They even signed agreements to join the Space Marine Management Association one after another.
However, whether it can be seen in the system interface does not necessarily depend on whether the agreement has been signed, but depends on whether everyone from the management of the regiment to the ordinary soldiers truly agrees to join the alliance.
Of course, one does not need to be 100% loyal, but at least a minimum level of loyalty must be achieved overall in order to be recognized by the system and be provided with gene seed quotas.
These seven regiments have only been together for a short time and no regiment has surrendered before. This is actually normal and Gu Hang is not surprised at all.
In his own estimation, the seven remnants of the group advancing into the universe would surrender faster than the dozen or so led by McGregor.
The reason was not special: their situation was even worse, and they were already forced by the current state of the war to stand on the same front with the Alliance and even accept the unified command of the expeditionary force. Compared with the dozen or so warbands encountered in Magre, the objective conditions for their surrender were more favorable.
Of course, it is a good thing that a group like the Steel Butcher appeared first.
They were originally the one in a relatively good situation among the seven remaining regiments. With them as a role model, it would also have a driving effect on other regiments to quickly follow up.
The Space Marine Chapter is still a very useful thing.
This not only refers to the strong level of combat effectiveness they have demonstrated, but also to the way they are organized.
I have to say that, although the so-called "Space Marine Codex" has many things worth complaining about and greatly restricts the power of the Space Marines, it also makes it very convenient for Gu Hang to do things.
Gu Hang still thinks that they are like small warlords.
To be honest, from a subjective point of view, very few Space Marines are afraid of fighting. They are all loyal warriors with a deep sense of honor, and they put the Empire, humanity, honor, and loyalty above life and death.
But in many cases, they still have no choice. When considering the war and the interests of the empire, they also have to consider the interests of their own regiment.
Can the regiment survive? Can it develop better?
Even if we are thinking about whether we can fight better for the empire in the future, we must also consider the sustainable development of the regiment.
This inevitably leads to the emergence of some so-called "warlord" styles: paying attention to self-preservation, paying attention to one's own interests, being suspicious of the outside world, and not wanting outsiders to interfere in the war...
But they just 'looked like' warlords, not really were.
As long as they are able to resolve the worries about the life and death of the regiment, there is no need to doubt their fighting spirit.
On this basis, Gu Hang can be more relaxed and give whatever each regiment wants.
Need people? Need equipment?
This is the most basic.
Want to keep the original regiment structure?
no problem.
All the chapter culture and style can be retained.
Even if the command power and officers of the regiment... are all veterans of the regiment, and the entire regiment is firmly controlled by the original group of people, Gu Hang doesn't care.
As long as they are fighting for the Dark Side Crusade and the Alliance, Gu Hang has no objection.
As long as their names are listed in the system, it means that they have basic loyalty, which allows Gu Hang to quickly replenish their members by exchanging gene seeds without fear of loss, and that's all.
As for complete control over the entire regiment?
Gu Hang is not a control freak and he is not interested in that.
As long as they can fight, that's enough. As for other things, if those war groups need these things to remain loyal, Gu Hang will give them all to them without hesitation.
Anyway, we are not afraid of them rebelling.
What's more, if they take my soldiers, 50%, 60%, or even 80% or 90% of the entire regiment will be alliance members trained by the political commissar. How can it be so easy to rebel?
Those new recruits are willing to accept the inheritance of the chapter and to follow the orders of the higher-ups to fight. When nothing is wrong, they are the best inheritors of the chapter in every sense. But as long as there is an idea of rebellion, will these new recruits follow the old soldiers?
Impossible!
Gu Hang has enough confidence.
…
Retracting his thoughts, Gu Hang turned his attention back to the current war.
The human army has fully entered the Ohmgeria star field and intervened in this massive insect-beast war.
His eyes swept across the strategic star map, and blue light reflected deep in his pupils. The holographic projection suspended in the center of the command room accurately outlined the battlefield situation in the Ohmgeria star field. Sixteen red arrows pierced into the outer periphery of the star field from different directions, and finally gathered in the insect-beast decisive battle zone marked as the Ankachi star field.
The human expeditionary force is starting from the periphery and completely surrounding the main battlefield.
Such a decision is bold!
The Zerg and Greenskins, who made the entire Forward Universe in a state of panic, were disturbed by the overflow of troops from their mutual battles. But when Gu Hang arrived with the main force of the expeditionary force, he adopted a strategy of comprehensive encirclement, as if he wanted to swallow both sides in one breath... Mr. Gu's appetite was too big!
But Gu Hang ignored these voices.
The local forces in these star regions were all in a panic. Many people wrote to Gu Hang through various channels, hoping that he would act cautiously.
But Gu Hang ignored these voices.
Led by two Queen of Glory ships, there are 5,000 warships of various levels, of which there are more than 60 battleships above the level of battlecruisers, which can be called giant ships, and a total of 18 real battleships and aircraft carriers.
Such a naval force, coupled with more than 13,000 Space Marines, the Chapter Fleet, and the massive Alliance Army...
What’s more important is that Gu Hang is in charge personally!
With such power, why can't he swallow up both families in one go?
While the Chief of Staff was writing down his comments on the tactical board, Gu Hang had already retrieved the training records of the newly formed regiment. In the holographic image, the armored combat monks were practicing assault formations, and the inside of their power armor was engraved with the heritage emblems of many different regiments.
Gu Hang closed the Space Marine reorganization schedule and pointed his finger at the coordinates of the space station in the Ankachi sector: "Let the Forge World speed up the modular production of the orbital fortress."
A large amount of information was spread out on the holographic screen, and countless strategic nodes lit up at the same time. The troops led by Tai Shichen were setting up the fourth blockade, and Pilias' technical team had just completed the deployment of the third batch of void mines.
"The launch time of the general offensive remains the same as planned." His finger pierced through the holographic projection and pulled out three purple tracks from Ankachi. "Tell the Red Steel Fury Chapter that I need them to cut off the greenskins' secondary supply lines within seventy-two hours."
"Target the Zerg's key hatching worlds and move the Blood Shark's stealth assault boats there." Gu Hang drew a cross mark in the northwest corner of the star map, "Let the Titan Legion of the Steel Flame Mechanicus cooperate in the battle. They also have to contribute some strength."
"Have the Eagle Vanguard increase the intensity of the intelligence transmission on the decisive battle between insects and beasts in the Ankachi star region, and dispatch a mage group to maintain psychic contact."
The combat staff quickly broke down the instructions, and the communicators synchronized the commands to each command level that needed to receive the mission.
Gu Hang patiently and methodically arranged the strategic actions of the human army with the assistance of the staff group of the general headquarters.
Slowly tighten the pockets, let go of some unimportant places, block important nodes, and at the same time weaken the power of the Zerg and Orcs.
Moreover, the strategy must be adjusted from time to time based on the intelligence sent back from the front line. If the Greenskins are strong, then they should be weakened; if the Zerg are strong, then more reinforcement ships of the Zerg should be intercepted.
In short, try to keep them balanced.
Overall, the green orcs were the advantage in most cases in the decisive battle. The Bone Crusher was not just a name. With his joining, the Zerg seemed to be unable to hold on.
It is also for this reason that most of the current actions of the human army are still aimed at the greenskins.
It is crucial to balance the power between them.
Even if Gu Hang was confident that he could defeat the Zerg and the Greenskins head-on with the huge army he had, which could be ranked among the best in history after the Emperor's ascension and the end of the Imperial Civil War.
But the sacrifice will probably be considerable.
On the contrary, while they are fighting desperately, they can weaken the forces of both sides and create opportunities for the human army to pick the spoils. This is also a good opportunity to reduce casualties on our side.
As for whether they can see it, feel it… Of course they can.
But they probably won't be able to spare the time to care about humans while they are fighting a life-and-death battle with their opponents.
If they did so, once the battle with the human army became intense, the other side might turn the tables. The human army was not very strong in pulling the ropes, and the threat level was not as great as that of the other side who had already reached a life-and-death situation.
And even if they did so, it would only fall into the situation that Gu Hang solved all the problems head-on at the earliest, which was not a bad thing.
What Gu Hang was really waiting for was a window period.
