Stars for the good Warhammer

Chapter 30 The legacy of the national army? intolerable

That game ended with Kashezin's victory. Otto had naturally expected such a result.

Even if the family's carefully trained personal guards of Cyrus can be compared with the elite veterans who have experienced the Cadian War, the former can only fight against all kinds of gangs and gangsters in the hive, while the latter have to face directly. It is an indescribable subspace creation.

As early as Abaddon's Twelfth Black Crusade, several Kashezin companies had sneaked into the subspace rift called the Eye of Terror as mortals, and fought against the rolling demonic tide and the Word Bearers. The Corrupted Astartes fought for weeks, ultimately gaining important intelligence for the Imperium at the cost of annihilation.

It can be said that they are the role models for the mortal legion. By throwing such an elite team into the gang brawl in the lower nest to investigate the possible influence of chaos, Otto believes that it will not take long for him to get a satisfactory answer. result.

After the secret meeting with Captain Turayan, Otto returned to the top nest through the secret passage built by his family in the nest, and appeared in front of everyone five minutes before the event was about to start.

At that time, Kalman, who learned that he was missing, had summoned all the guards like a convulsion and was about to start a carpet-like search in the nest. Next to the manager was Raya, who had been scolded and cried. In his eyes, Otto could only see great grievance.

At this moment, I looked at the dozen or so senior officers of the Planetary Defense Force standing in front of me. One of them was reporting on the recent recruitment situation in the hive city. After hearing that these people had recruited several soldiers in just a few days, Ten thousand soldiers later, Otto, who was sitting in his office chair, interrupted the other party's speech in time.

"In just four days, more than 80,000 people came."

"Are those people really voluntarily joining the National Defense Forces?"

Facing Otto's questioning, the officer looked very excited and said with a beaming expression.

"Of course! After hearing about your decision to expand the army, our recruitment office in Zhongchao was surrounded by people that afternoon. The threshold was about to be trampled by the enthusiastic people. For those people It’s a great honor to be able to do your best for the Governor.”

You are really telling lies with your eyes open.

Not long ago, the factory owners in Zhongchao made a joint complaint with themselves, claiming that conscription teams forcibly broke into their factories and employee dormitories and took away many male contract workers who were taking a break at work, resulting in a serious shortage of workers. insufficient.

After a brief thought, Otto finally issued such an order in the letters sent back to the factory owners.

——Sending children and women over 14 years old into factories as male substitutes.

——At the same time, we will reduce working hours by one hour and change the original meal supply from one meal a day to two meals a day in order to stabilize people's hearts.

As a qualified fan of the Fourth Natural Disaster and P Club games, this kind of operation is really familiar to Otto.

Although he knew that this was a lie that couldn't be more false, Otto did not choose to point it out directly in front of those senior officers, because he understood that Haiwen's situation was too special, and it was officially formed in the dark side of the empire. , before the era of eternal night comes, he urgently needs a sufficient number of defense forces to ensure safety.

"The number of people is enough, but how do you plan to solve the subsequent equipment and training issues?"

To this, the officer in a dark gray coat replied.

"We have professional instructors who can ensure that they are trained to become excellent soldiers. It's just about the equipment."

Having said this, the man's face showed a troubled look.

"Approximately how much is missing?"

When asked, another elderly officer promptly added.

"Currently, there are twenty new regiments with less than 20% equipment rations, and among the fifty main regiments, the equipment integrity is only 70%. Some infantry regiments formed later do not even have enough laser guns. , it’s common for a team to share the same rifle.”

"As for heavy weapons."

The old officer paused, and it was easy to tell from the other person's expression that this must be a sad story.

In fact, according to Otto's original plan, Haiwen's ordnance reserves were enough to last for a period of time, but what he didn't expect was that in order to complete their achievements, his generals actually understood the tricks of the national army on their own?

This made Otto want to shout "Niang Xipi".

However, so far everything has been within expectations.

fine

Not a big problem

While thinking, he silently recited the name of Old Man Huang in his heart, while calling out the familiar system panel, intending to confirm the current specific situation of the territory again.

[All current territories: Haiwen]

[Population under control: 497.3 million (continuously declining)]

[Recruitable troops: 67.13 million]

[Scale of the Planetary Defense Force: 210,000 (under loss)]

[Existing fleet size: 4 ships]

[Collected beliefs: 4]

However, as his eyes gradually moved downward, the words in front of him almost made him vomit blood.

[Faith Level: Nearing Collapse]

Nearing collapse?

You know, in an empire where religion is prevalent, people's beliefs can often be linked to local stability.

Once there is a problem in thinking, the entire society will inevitably collapse at an unimaginable speed.

I didn't expect that there would be such a big change in just a few days.

Obviously, this made Otto somewhat unexpected.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. As a fourth natural disaster known to everyone for his kindness and love for the people, Otto admitted that he had indeed made some minor adjustments to the material rationing recently.

But it's just gritting one's teeth, so it shouldn't cause too much dissatisfaction, right?

I guess the problem of cults and heresies in Xia Lao has become more serious.

Um! Damn it!

Yes, that must be the case!

After an unknown amount of time, after listening to enough reports and flattery from the young officials, Otto motioned for the people around him to quiet down.

"I already know enough about the basic situation. Regarding the ordnance and supply issues you mentioned, I will personally discuss it with our Mechanicus allies in Ota."

"In addition, I need to add that starting from today, I will continue to send instructors from the 13th Cadian Commando Regiment to provide training for our soldiers, including the training of newly recruited soldiers, which will also be handled by the Cadian people. , I hope you can cooperate with their work.”

As soon as these words came out, the officers present were obviously surprised by such a decision, but before they could say anything.

"I don't want to hear any objections. If you think those outsiders are not qualified, then challenge them until they are beaten to pieces, and then come back to me with your ideas."

"Remember, I only believe in the strong."

As the words fell, Otto felt refreshed for a moment, as if his whole body had inexhaustible power.

"Meeting dismissed."

After that, he stood up and walked out of the room with the officers looking at each other in disbelief.
