Chapter 954, Two Factors
Of the two major problems that restricted the Union's conscription, the treaty restrictions were not easy to resolve completely.
After all, during the negotiations, the Alliance promised that the port it leased "would not be used for military operations against the Dark Eldar."
Of course, there are quite a few details to this sentence, which clearly state what "targeting the Dark Eldar" means.
These rules combined basically block all alliances from sending reinforcements to Comoros through these eight leased ports.
In fact, it is reasonable. It is too absurd to expect the Dark Eldar to use the eight ports to increase troops and stockpile them in Comoros after borrowing them. The Dark Eldar will never allow it. They also have people in these eight concession ports. The ports are under co-management and will strictly supervise the alliance's use of the concession ports.
If the alliance does not want to tear up the agreement immediately and go to war directly, it cannot do so openly.
However, regulations are regulations, and there are always some ways to find a solution.
For example, the regulations allow the Alliance to use the Veil Gate for military operations, but only for the "passing by" of troops. An Alliance army in the real universe can pass through the Veil Gate to reach Comoros, and then quickly pass through another Veil Gate to another location in the real universe.
This is to quickly carry out super-speed maneuvers over long distances in the real universe. It often happens when the coalition army on an expedition suffers heavy losses in a certain battle.
In the past, when faced with such a situation, the entire army had to retreat to rest and wait for follow-up support to arrive, replenish personnel and equipment, and then they could regain combat effectiveness and continue the battle. But now, with the Curtain Spirit Gate, they can replenish personnel while fighting.
In the past, it would take one or two years to send a reinforcement force from the central alliance, and the front army headquarters would have to redeploy these personnel and equipment to replenish the various fronts. Now, the entire time has been shortened to less than one month.
This is certainly a pretty significant change.
And during this whole process, the alliance can also try to make some small moves.
Starships are not easy to deal with. Even if they are small, they are still quite large targets and not easy to hide.
But it is much more convenient when mobilizing the army of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.
A company or even an entire regiment would quietly leave the main force by changing their flags, wearing civilian clothes, dispersing the troops, etc., and become part of the defense force of the concession port, or go into hiding.
Of course, the Dark Eldar's supervision is still reliable. They have also discovered the Alliance's small moves many times and sent solemn protests.
Every time, the alliance would apologize very seriously, saying that this was a problem caused by some officers and staff who did not fully understand the terms of the peace treaty, and they had severely dealt with the officers who violated the rules in mobilizing troops. They were often just lieutenants, captains, company commanders, battalion commanders, etc. It was good enough to have a major regiment commander punished. And the content of the punishment was mostly "reprimand" and "salary deduction".
In response to the Dark Eldar's questioning as to whether the Alliance was making military preparations for the next offensive, and whether it was going to break the peace treaty and start a war again, humans completely denied it.
Believe it or not.
To put it bluntly, they are unwilling to pay any price.
What can the Dark Eldar do?
They didn't have any particularly good solutions. Although the alliance violated the rules, at least they were concerned about the peace treaty and didn't openly violate the rules. Unless they found this matter completely unacceptable and started a war again, all they could do was to continue to increase supervision and reduce the frequency of such incidents.
What's more, those concession ports are more or less restricted by treaties, but in Queen Rose and Bodhisattva Port, the Alliance is almost unscrupulously sending troops to Comoros. The blacks are always protesting, but when asked, they are to defend Comoros and the common property and friendship of the two ethnic groups.
The treaty limits the total number of human troops stationed in Comoros. The Alliance signed it in black and white, but so what? Up to now, every time the black people protested, the Alliance simply said "it does not exceed the specified number" and blocked it.
If you insist there is one, then come and check it out.
…
But another major obstacle to the alliance's troop increase is almost impossible to resolve.
The Terran Expedition is leaving.
The Alliance was not unwilling to do this. After all, it had already been agreed with Robert. One of the main reasons for urging for peace talks was to quickly release Robert and his army from Comoros and return to the real universe and Holy Terra.
After the peace talks, according to the terms of the talks, the Dark Eldar had to share with humans most of the coordinates of the Veil Gates in the real universe that they knew.
This is just like the fact that the Alliance was quite dishonest in fulfilling the garrison restrictions, and the Dark Eldar were equally dishonest. Not to mention sharing most of them, the Alliance personnel believed that the number of Spirit Gate coordinates they shared was probably only one thousandth of the number they actually controlled. They took out hundreds of coordinates, which seemed to be widely distributed, but there must be a super large number of Veil Spirit Gates in their hands, and none of them were leaked to the Alliance.
Facing the alliance's protests and questions, they simply said, "These are all the Veil Spirit Gates we control," and blocked the alliance back.
However, the most important coordinate among those they shared was a veiled spirit gate located very close to Holy Terra.
It is located in the star system of Taiwei V.
From Taiwei V, you can reach the solar system by making a jump through the astral tunnel.
This veiled spiritual gate is located in an asteroid belt at the edge of the Taiwei V galaxy. Because it is too far away from the planets inhabited by humans, and even the mineral reserves in the asteroid belt are relatively poor, few people visit here.
Even if human ships occasionally arrive here, it is difficult to go deep into the asteroid belt.
The point is that it is worthless.
But who would have thought that deep in the asteroid belt, there was a small curtain gate of the Dark Eldar?
The initial purpose of this curtain spirit door was just to teleport some black skins over for reconnaissance.
It is totally incapable of supporting the passage of a large expeditionary force, and its throughput is far from meeting the standard.
However, this problem is easy to solve.
A small fleet, carrying the equipment and materials for building a large curtain spirit gate - which were "purchased" from the Dark Eldar - arrived on the other side, and then started construction.
After completing the construction, Robert and his expeditionary force left.
