Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 6 Speech
The people of this remote land called Falla have lived in constant peace for centuries, devoid of the desperation that drove them cornered and turned to the gods for help.

The state religious forces have no intention of increasing missionary efforts here, and not many churches have been built, which has led to the diversification of the population's ideological trends.The God of Myriad Opportunities and Imperial Truth both have their own groups of believers, rather than the uniform Long Live God Emperor like other imperial colonies.

The diversity of thoughts is not a good thing for the local people, because different ideas mean different positions, and different forces often fight with each other.

And this is the opportunity that Russell wants to seize.

"I need a faction to follow me."

"I need their allegiance to me, not to the Emperor's planetary governor. I need them to agree with my ideals, not the state religion or the God of Chances."

"So what is my philosophy?"

When the Gray Gu carrier-based aircraft formation landed on the square in front of the Governor's Mansion, Russell walked out of the hatch, looked at the two moons, one big and one small, hanging in the sky, and had his own answer.

"Materialist dialectics."

After determining the path to take, he also understood what he needed to do next.

"From this point of view, the pursuit of the Imperial Truth faction is the closest to my philosophy. It is currently the best choice to win them over and make some minor ideological corrections."

"But this faction is relatively weak in Faya. If I want to support them, I need to use the governor's power to suppress the state religion. This cannot be made too obvious, otherwise it will be easy to be accused of betraying the emperor and the empire..."

"In the case of sufficient mineral supply, the construction of the Cyberlux battle body requires 500 star-days. I don't know how long it will take to convert it into Falla days..."

"Before the construction of the battle body is completed, proceed with caution."

After returning to Falla, Russell quickly arranged for people to suppress public opinion on the planet.

As expected, the rhetoric of the so-called "human heritage of the golden age" quickly caused an uproar among the upper class, among which the reaction of the forces of the Mechanic Society was particularly violent. Their worship of advanced technology has reached the point of extreme fanaticism.

Starports around the planet and the ancient ships moored in them were originally considered private property by the nobles. The lack of support for the local machinery of Falla will be suppressed for a long time. They seem to be less interested in maintaining these ancient equipment and often slow down.

And as the nobles were liquidated, all the ships capable of spaceflight were destroyed, and there was another beautiful ancient ship above his head waiting for him to explore...

The fanatical Mechanicists began to work crazily day and night. Their desire for knowledge and technology drove them to use all their manpower and material resources to repair the paralyzed starport and the ships in it.

Several highly respected technical priests requested an audience with the governor. They hoped to obtain permission to study this ancient giant ship. Naturally, all these requests were rejected by Russell.

He announced that he was going to give a global speech, and then thanked guests behind closed doors.

During the time he was writing his speeches, the stagnant situation in Falla became active.

After learning about this, the priest of the state religion announced in a high-profile manner that the huge ship hanging outside the sky was a sacred object handed down from ancient times, and should belong to the supreme human emperor, and held several large-scale sacrificial activities to the position of the first moon.

The meaning is self-evident.

After several unsuccessful visits, the Mechanic Society began to set its sights on the Gray Gu carrier-based aircraft that was constantly cruising back and forth over the Governor's Mansion 24 hours a day.

As a result, the two forces began to fight openly and secretly, and scrambled to win over the planetary governor who had control of the ship.

After about a week of such undercurrents, Russell finally walked out of the Governor's Palace and announced that he would start his speech today.

Eager to show their favor, the Mechanic Society has already made sufficient preparations for this. They have built large-scale communication equipment in every important city on the north and south continents of Falla day and night, so that Russell's image can be projected on everyone.

Not to be outdone, the state religion used its appeal, allowing countless miners and farmers to enter the city, and every projector was overcrowded.

In the midst of all the attention, Russell rubbed his dark circles and yawned before starting his speech.

The theme of the speech is: "Making Human Being Great Again".

The document in Russell's hands is not so much a speech, but perhaps it should be called a "Declaration on Duan Shui" that can meet the needs of all parties.

At the beginning of the speech, the giant Titan ship that had been hiding on the back of the first moon for a while also came to the sky above the planet, silently releasing its majesty.

With the theme and endorsement of "Human Heritage in the Golden Age", Russell began to publicize how powerful and glorious the human civilization was in the past.

The reason why he did not use the more formal term "dark technological age" is to make his words more convincing and provocative.

To the state religion, he declared that he was able to find the ancient artifact that activated the battleship precisely because he was guided by the emperor. He would respect the emperor's will and use ancient technology to make mankind great again and return to that glorious era.

To the Machina Society, he expressed his willingness to share with it the various cutting-edge technologies stored in the Battleship Mastermind database, and to disclose many technological products and design drawings of ancient humans for the Machina Society to research and build.

For the planetary government, he vowed to open up more galaxies, expand the frontiers of the empire, and expand the authority of Falla to farther places, which also meant more establishments and more funding.

To the working people, he promised to use the great technology of ancient creations to increase productivity, make farmland harvest, and industry develop, so that everyone can have enough food and clothing, and no longer have to suffer from poverty and hunger.

As for the Imperial Truth faction, it was not mentioned at all.

Closing with "Making Man Great Again" and "Spirit of Gold," Russell capped off a speech that would revolutionize the interstellar landscape.

The entire Falla was boiling, and the same words echoed in every city like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

"Make Human Great Again!"

The Bishop of the State Church and the representative of the technical priests of the Mechanic Society all sent out requests for an interview with Russell as soon as the speech was over, and rushed to the Governor's Mansion to wait regardless.

Russell threw the speech that was destined to go down in history into the trash can, and entered the meeting room in a cumbersome ceremonial white robe.

The Bishop of the State Church and the technical priest representative of the Society of Mechanics "Gauss" have been waiting here for a long time.

The three leaders talked all night long in the conference room, and quickly signed a series of agreements with an efficiency unimaginable by the Imperial Ministry of the Interior.

These include:

Russell allowed and supported the State Church to enjoy the priority of missionary privileges in Falla and all the galaxies he newly opened up in the future, and accepted their application to nominate him as a living saint. Of course, Russell felt that there was a high probability that he would not be nominated for this stupid thing. This was just a gesture.

In return, the state religion will give full support to his pioneering career and promote his image of greatness and righteousness among believers.

Russell will hand over some ancient technological creations and blueprints to the Society of Mechanics for research as soon as possible.The Mechanic Society needs to be loyal to him and entrust all the productivity to him.

As for the so-called ancient technologies and ancient blueprints, they are actually stored in Gray Wind's main consciousness, a complete set of human federation technological trees.
