Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"Please take a seat." Li opened the small refrigerator in the office, which was full of various drinks. "Want something to drink?"

"I don't drink."

"Then let's have some drinks." Li took out a can of drinks and placed it in front of Edward. "This is Coca-Cola. Even though it's black and has bubbles, it's really not poisonous."

"Uh..." Edward opened the filling package, frowned and took a sip, then smacked his lips, "It's sweet and tastes pretty good."

"Well, what should we talk about? Or what do you want to know?"

"Oh, no, this is not an interrogation. Although it is an examination, it is just a close observation of your living conditions and then an assessment. Mr. Li, you only need to show your true self. "You need to do something special for me." Edward explained: "I just want to have a drink with you and have a casual chat like a normal friend."

"This is really difficult for me. Chatting like an ordinary friend with a master inquisitor whom I care about very much?" Li smiled bitterly and put the Coke in his hand back into the refrigerator, and then replaced it with a bottle for himself. Beer, "It's a little difficult for me, I have to have some wine before I do this."

"Alcohol will paralyze your brain and make you relax your vigilance," Edward asked seriously: "Is it okay to do this? Will it not lower your guard?"

"Impossible," Li opened the beer nonchalantly and said while drinking: "Looking at your body, you should have undergone transformation. Is it possible that you don't know your own body?"

"I underwent transformation under the recommendation of the Tribunal, which is somewhat different from the transformation of Space Marines," Edward explained: "The purpose of my body transformation is not to turn myself into a pure fighting machine, so in many places, Most of the internal organs in the body still retain their original functions. It can be said that I have only undergone partial transformation. Although I look as strong as the Space Marine, I am different in many places."

"That's it." Li then explained: "The so-called drunkenness is actually a mild manifestation of alcohol poisoning. When the alcohol concentration in the blood is too high, the mind will be paralyzed and dizziness, vomiting, etc. will occur. , but for most Space Marines, poisoning is impossible. We can drink poison to quench our thirst and swallow puffer fish alive. Ordinary poisons cannot harm Space Marines. This ensures the survivability of Space Marines, even in the worst environments. , Space Marines can also survive."

"Then drinking doesn't make sense to you?"

"I can adjust my body so that I can reach a, well, tipsy state. This is the state most respected by drinkers. I drink neither too much nor too little, and I can enjoy drinking. "It's a wonderful feeling without having to bear the painful consequences of being drunk," Li said calmly, "So I am addicted to alcohol. This is one of the few joys in my life now. Fortunately, it has not happened due to drinking. Some special situations.”

"I see," Edward nodded, and then changed the subject, "You just said you care about me? What do you mean?"

"Literally," Li shrugged and said, "To be honest, your visit relieved me a lot and saved me a lot of trouble. The intelligence about me within the empire was blocked. It was really helpful.”

"What would you do if I didn't show up and a Purist judge showed up, arresting you and vowing to burn you at the stake?"

"I can't find a better way besides escaping." Li sighed and said, "Fortunately, the Milky Way is vast enough, and just the Far East region is enough for me to hide."

"Have you never thought about fighting the Empire?"

"The purpose of my training is not to let me kill humans. The Astartes are the guardians of humans, not cold-blooded butchers. I will not fight the people of the Tribunal. Such bloodshed is not my fault. willing."

Li's choice is also the choice of most people in the Santites faction. When a person in the Santites faction is exposed, it means that his trouble time is coming. There will always be people trying to eradicate these radicals. Therefore, for a person from the Santites faction whose identity is exposed, escape and hiding will occupy a very important position in his future life. "I can understand," Edward agreed: "Those fools are too stubborn. They cannot accept changes. Changing the status quo requires our efforts and some time. Some ideas are deeply ingrained and cannot be changed in a short time. In fact, Your existence is a perfect proof that demonic forces can be tamed and controlled to serve humanity and the Empire."

"I didn't think too much about it. Sometimes it's best to hide it. When it's impossible to hide it, I have no choice but to give in. But if it really comes to that point, it will be a pity for the newly established war group."

"Is it a pity?" Edward smiled, "With all due respect, I really don't think it is a pity. Your battle group is just an empty shell now. Those soldiers outside," Edward waved his hand and said : "You should know better than me. They may look good on the outside, but they are not good on the inside. They are too effeminate."

Li smiled bitterly, how could he not know this.

The construction of an interstellar war group is not simple. A powerful interstellar war group does not appear out of thin air. Each war group has its deep foundation. If the foundation is not stable, how can it last long? In this regard, Li Ke does not have much to do. The foundation cannot rely on the help and support of others. This is the lifeblood of the war group and must be firmly controlled in his own hands. Otherwise, if others do not support it one day, won’t the war group be in trouble instantly?

So at present, it seems that there is no other way except to build it slowly by yourself.

But excellent seed warriors do not appear out of thin air. This requires a cruel environment and watering with blood and life to reap rewards. However, the Reach Galaxy has been peaceful for too long. The most intense battle recorded in history happened five hundred years ago. An alien warrior who likes to hunt powerful warriors and use their heads as decorations passed by Reach Star and hunted on this planet for a while. Some local warriors had conflicts and finally sent the best special forces warriors on the planet. As a result, the special forces warriors were all wiped out and all became alien collections. The result was jaw-dropping. A passing governor killed the alien warrior.

This shows that the army has long been rotten to the core. Even the generals are slack in the absence of external danger. For them, what is war? This is a term that even their grandfathers have never experienced.

Under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers inevitably fell to the bottom. The special forces soldiers were not as good as a civilian staff member. The governor was sitting in the office!

This history was written like a storybook, and the plot made Li vaguely feel familiar. Of course, this story cannot be believed, but the low combat effectiveness of the army is a problem in front of us.

After five years of transformation, Li took a series of measures. Don't think about the overall improvement of combat effectiveness. It is thankful to be able to improve the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers by one level. Fortunately, it seems that the effects of these measures are still good. Nowadays, not only the legion, but also the social atmosphere on the Reach Star has changed a lot, but these soldiers have not participated in real fierce battles. They have not experienced the tempering of blood and fire, so they look good on the surface, and they are all good guys, but the actual situation can only be known after they go to the battlefield.

Besides, reality does not allow Li to be picky. For a combat group, the most important thing in the primary construction is not personal ability, but discipline and obedience, so Li's first batch of warriors must be selected from his soldiers.

"They are all excellent seeds, energetic, confident, and have good physical and mental conditions. Of course, they have not seen the real battlefield, and they are inevitably naive, but people will grow up after all. Now the Knights Templar and his warriors are still very young."

But we will grow up.

Edward nodded, he was very satisfied, and he had obtained enough rich information in the short conversation. Li is agile, rational, has the honor and loyalty of a soldier to the empire, is addicted to alcohol, but is not easily angered, which is particularly interesting. You know, there is a demon in his body. How did he do this?

In short, he looks no different from a normal person. Edward even doubts whether there is the power of chaos in Li's body.

In addition, Edward also began to have some interest in Li's young regiment. In fact, observing the new regiment built by Li himself may be more effective than observing Li himself. People always like to hide themselves, but they will show their hobbies without hesitation in the things they build. Edward decided to continue observing. This is a job worth looking forward to and interesting. If necessary, he hopes to extend his observation time.

Li now lives in the elimination camp and personally supervises the training of the soldiers. For Edward, this kind of training seems a bit too childish, but for the soldiers on Reach, this is a severe test they have never seen before.

The training started with weighted long-distance running. The soldiers were required to wear heavy medieval armor and run long distances on the beach. After the long run, they returned to the playground and began to learn cold weapon combat.

There is a lack of experts in this area, and even some instructors have an undeniable attitude towards this course. After all, in the interstellar age, they still have to train cold weapons, which makes many people incomprehensible.

So this course is taught by Li himself.

"On the battlefield, bullets will be used up, grenades will be thrown, and the vehicles carrying us will run out of fuel. We can use all these modern equipment very well, but we cannot rely on them! A gun without ammunition is no more useful than a fire stick; a tank without fuel is an iron coffin. At this time, only some special weapons you carry with you will accompany you for a long time, go through life and death with you, and save your life." Li said as he inserted various weapons in front of the people on the playground, "There are two most important ones, which I cannot show you, that is your body and will!"
