Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 129 The Gambling Game Begins (1/2)

Moreover, there is a huge unknown that affects the entire war situation, and that is the number of greenskins.

These alien green-skinned orcs from the universe have a long history. Some scholars believe that these green-skinned orcs even appeared in the universe earlier than humans. Of course, any scholar who dared to say this publicly was burned to death in the Holy See. At the stake.

In short, these green-skinned alien monsters have a long history, but they have not, or almost never formed their own civilization in the strict sense. They have never heard of green-skinned aliens establishing a country. Thanks to the God Emperor, they have never There has never been a greenskin who said he wanted to unite all the greenskins in the universe under the leadership of one greenskin.

The only reason why such green skins can survive in the cruel and cold universe for a long time is the green skin's terrible reproductive ability. No, that method can no longer even be described as reproduction. , that’s production.

Although these green-skinned creatures also have huge canines and savage living habits, people also habitually call them orcs, but in fact, apart from their habits, the green-skinned creatures have nothing to do with beasts. To be more precise, , these green-skinned orcs should be called green-skinned vegetable people.

Different from human gene chains, one of the two gene chains in the orcs is animal and the other is plant-based. Therefore, the orcs show the nature of animals on the one hand, but on the other hand they still retain the characteristics of plants. nature. Therefore, these green-skinned monsters can talk to others like humans, can wield huge machetes and other strange and even tattered weapons with strength far beyond that of humans, and can even drive tattered rags that they have modified. Starships expedition into the universe; and on the other hand, not only do they have tenacious vitality, they can even replenish energy in their bodies through photosynthesis with green skin, and they can also reproduce rapidly in the form of spores.

In layman's terms, it's when an orc stands in the wind and thinks about difficult questions (such as where should he go to eat juicy jumps later? There are so many farts, which one should be crushed? Or all of them should be hurt) Bian? Or change the taste and eat a fart?) It was troubled by many difficult and profound questions, so the orc scratched his head, and the dandruff on his head flew away like snowflakes. It's all a seed. If these seeds fall into suitable soil, they will grow into little orcs all over the mountains and fields who like to think about difficult problems.

If they are left alone, even if these orcs do nothing, the entire planet will soon be filled with these green-skinned orcs.

Li couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this terrible scene, "Order, the factory will now start to produce flamethrowers at full capacity, and at the same time speed up the production of lean-fuel incendiary bombs, and strive to equip every class with flamethrowing equipment. After each battle, The bodies of the greenskins must be burned completely, and the battlefield must be carefully burned and cleaned. After a large-scale battle, the air force must use lean incendiary bombs to carpet bomb the battlefield to avoid these greenskin monsters. Resurrection.”

"yes!"

"Very good, now the entire Zhiyuan galaxy has entered a state of military control. Everyone, it is no longer a leisurely time as before. Please use all your energy to prepare for the war that has come. May you all be prepared for the war that has come. The God-Emperor protects us."

Everyone stood up and saluted, "As you command!"

After all the officials left, Li immediately went to the communication room. On the big screen in the communication room was Roland's profile picture. It seemed that he had been waiting online for some time.

Seeing Li's appearance, Roland on the screen immediately saluted. Li simply returned the salute and said: "I won't say any more polite words. Now we are pressed for time. What is the current situation of the legion?"

"In good condition," Roland replied. "The Knights Templar are ready to attack at any time."

"Very well, how did the soldiers react?"

"They are eager for your orders. They have trained for too long. Our soldiers urgently need to prove themselves with the blood of the enemy and the honor of victory."

"Let them not take it lightly. The enemies this time are no different than before. They are serious this time."

"Don't worry, sir, we never underestimate our enemies."

Li nodded, and then solemnly said: "Order, the Templar Knights will enter the battle from now on. The first task is to sneak in and detect the enemy's situation. The secondary task is to find important enemy figures, and then wait for opportunities to assassinate them, causing chaos in the enemy. For me I will transfer the relevant information to you in the electronic file later.”

Roland knocked on his chest with one fist and said loudly: "Your wish is our direction."

"This mission is very difficult, and it is a severe test for the reconnaissance team. Texas is a very vast area. Even in peacetime, it is not easy to find an ordinary person, let alone find an ordinary person on the battlefield. The aliens are green-skinned, so I set the assassination as a secondary task. We must not be reckless and must act within our capabilities. I suggest that the regular reconnaissance team be divided into two-person teams to conduct reconnaissance, so that it can be effectively expanded. Our search scope."

"clear!"

"Very good, then the order has been issued. Let the brothers prepare."

Roland saluted again, and then his head disappeared from the screen.

Li then turned around and left, and soon came to a secret machine repair room. A mechanical slave in a robe was repairing a complex machine in the room.

"No. 74?" Li asked softly and tentatively.

The mechanical slave stopped and turned around, revealing a face with a gas mask, making his appearance unclear, "Yes, Master, I am No. 74." From the mechanical slave Under Gongde's mask, an electronically synthesized answer came.

"I'm looking for Vivien, is she there?"

No. 74 stood motionless and did not answer. Then the mechanical slave's whole body began to tremble violently. The tremors were so fine that the slave's robes trembled like waves. This tremor lasted for about a day. It stopped after a few minutes.

Then a messy electronic sound came from under the mechanical slave's mask, "TEST, TEST. This is a sound test." Soon, the messy electronic sound was harmonized, and finally turned into a soft female voice. , "Well, not bad, the new sound generator is working well. Brother, what do you want from me?"

"I wanted to trouble you with something, but could you tell me first why you had to shake so violently before you appeared? It was like a psychic possessing you."

"This is a normal phenomenon during loading, and there is nothing I can do about it." Vivien said nonchalantly: "Brother, what do you want from me? Please hurry up, I am very busy, although I am also very busy. I’m willing to spare my precious research time to chat with you, go shopping, etc.”

"Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I am also in a hurry. Didn't you take my weapons and combat uniforms to be modified some time ago? Are the modifications completed now?"

"It's done. Why do you want to go to the front line, brother? It seems like there is no need for you to play in such a battle, right?"

"You also know about the green skin?"

Vivien raised her head. Although she was separated by a mask, Li could still feel that his sister must be smiling proudly. He only heard Vivien saying in a show-off manner: "As long as I am willing, the cameras of the entire Zhiyuan Galaxy All my eyes, all my ears."

"If you knew earlier, why didn't you warn me earlier?"

"Who would stare at millions of monitors non-stop when they have nothing to do? I am a busy man. I only learned about the whole thing when the entire planet entered a level one alert state."

"So can you understand the situation in Texas now?"

"There is no way, the power supply system has been destroyed, the electronic equipment in the entire Texas has been paralyzed, and I have nothing to do. As for my brother, your weapons and equipment have been repaired, but you must tell me, what do you want to do? "

"Is this a threat?"

"Yes, it is a real threat."

"Okay," Li had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender and said, "I naturally want to see the army of Reach. In the war on , wasn't the same for my Star Wars Corps? My boys have received enough training and have performed various tasks, but after all, they were all carried out under my care, and the training was carefully carried out. The calculations and tasks have been selected and estimated, but this time is different. The enemy will not act according to my intentions. There are too many things that are unpredictable. I must go to the front line to fight with them. Once something unexpected happens. , I can also make timely decisions.”

"Is that all?"

"Of course, what else could it be?"

Vivien said nothing, just looked at Li.

"Okay, I will also try to find the boss of the orcs and kill him along the way. This should be able to buy my army some much-needed time."

"Didn't you complete the mission? I think you should give your men some opportunities and try to trust them. A commander who is always on the front line is not a good commander."

"I have the exact opposite opinion on this point." Suddenly, a figure appeared in Li's mind. He had black pupils and white hair. He was always silent and rarely spoke, but he always acted. He is always the first to express his intentions. He is a real man, a guy worthy of others risking their lives to follow. Li shook his head and smiled, driving away the scene in his memory and replied: "General The commander who is on the front line will be a good commander. On the contrary, the guy who always stays behind and dictates is the real bastard. Okay, Vivien, stop messing around and take my things. Give it to me."

Vivien angrily picked up a long military green iron box from the corner of the messy machine repair room, and threw it onto the iron table in the middle of the room with a bang. "Take it, it's yours."

Li opened the box. The long metal box contained a sniper rifle with an extended barrel. A black silencer was placed under the barrel of the rifle. Li stretched out his hand and gently brushed the gun body. A cold touch came from his fingers. This was a weapon that fully displayed the aesthetics of violence. It had an angular body and showed it to the outside world without hesitation. Noting its powerful destructive power, Li couldn't help but nodded, "The shape has changed a lot, and it looks pretty good. I like this gun. What are the data parameters?"

"The data is all here. Take your time and read it yourself." Vivien found an electronic version of the text from the messy room and threw it into Li's arms. Then she continued to complain angrily, "You are always like this. , Brother, you are always like this, always thinking that you are the only hero, why don't you understand? You are just a human being, not a savior. Will the Star of Reach be finished without you? You are the governor of the planet, and the entire planet will be destroyed. Move forward according to your will; you are the commander of the Star Chapter, so many Astartes monks must obey your orders. If there is anything you should tell them, let them do it for you. , this is the meaning of rights. And, the most important thing is that you are still my brother, my only relative in this world. To me, the whole universe is not as important as you. Brother, why are you still alone? Rushing to such a dangerous place alone?

Li sighed, walked up to Vivian, pressed Vivian's shoulders with both hands, and said seriously: "Viwen, listen to me, rights have indeed brought me a lot of conveniences, but they have also brought me a lot of conveniences. As a planetary governor, I have the responsibility to protect my people. As the leader of a Star Wars regiment, I have the responsibility to lead my brothers to victory. I know you are worried about me, and I am very grateful to you. , but I have to go, this is what I should do, and to be honest, there is nothing to worry about. I have done things a hundred times more dangerous than this. I have dealt with enemies a hundred times more powerful than me alone. , I once fought against demons on the edge of hell. I am not a weak baby, I am a warrior, Vivien, brother, I am a warrior, a warrior who protects you, our home, the universe and mankind."

Vivien sighed and said helplessly: "It's up to you. Who can control you? I just want you to remember that some people's lives are very light. To me, life and death are just a simple number. One person The life and death of one person are no different to me than the life and death of a million people. They all have no weight. And some people’s lives are very heavy, even more important than the entire universe. I turned myself into such a ghost. My body has been reshaped with steel, but my spirit is wandering in the electronic network of Reach like a ghost. I have been waiting for you for nine thousand years. I pray to the God Emperor day and night, hoping that he can bless him for the best. Loyal warrior, brother, now you are back, I hope you are safe, I am afraid..."

Li rubbed Vivien's head, "Don't worry, brother is not a child anymore, I will protect myself. Besides, I am not a fighter. With the weapons and armor you modified for me, I can still protect myself by my side." With my brothers fighting with me, as long as I am in the Zhiyuan Galaxy, you, the electronic elf, are always in my ears, and I can hardly think of any reason why I would be in danger."

Vivien nodded seriously, "That's true. Don't worry, brother. Leave the logistical support to me."

In the next three days, Li's life seemed to be somewhat idle. In many cases, the supreme commander is like a gambler at the gambling table. He has endless things to do before the gambling begins. He can practice his gambling skills hard and use precise calculations to make the gambling favor him before it begins. He can spy on his opponent's intelligence, but once the bet begins and the bet is placed, he often has nothing to do. He can only leave the table with his hands and wait for the moment when the bet is revealed.

War is a huge gamble. Li, who is in a high position, can coordinate the resources of all parties and deeply reform society before the war begins, allowing himself to gain more chips, enhance the military power of the Zhiyuan Galaxy, and prepare for the war that may come at any time. Get ready. But once the war really comes and the enemy comes to his doorstep, there is not much he can do. Once the big strategic layout is set, it cannot be easily changed. The entire society will be turned into a huge war machine, rumbling Activated, all government departments will be activated for this purpose. At this time, as the interstellar consul, all Li can do is to try to believe that his subordinates will win the final victory.

Like a gambler, you buy and leave.

At this time, Li deeply felt that he was lucky, because he was not only an interstellar consul, he was also the leader of a Star Wars regiment. Leading the brothers of the Star Wars regiment to victory was also what he should do. , as long as he arrives in Texas, there will be endless things for him to do.

Of course, now that you have decided to set off for the front line, there is a lot of preparation. The first thing is to calibrate the gun. Vivien has indeed created a powerful and terrifying monster, but whether the terrifying power of this gun can be fully exerted depends on the skill of the gun owner, and for sniper The gun comes like this.

The data given on Vivien's electronic panel is very scary. The professional name of the gun in Li's hand is Baoya Sniper Rifle No. 022. Its maximum range is 12,000 meters, and its effective shooting range is 9,000 meters. , equipped with a movable multi-purpose tripod bracket, which can be used to fix the firearm when sniping from a long distance. What is the concept of twelve thousand meters? If it's a small town, this gun can snipe people from one end of the city to the other side of the city. However, shooting at such a long distance has extremely high requirements for shooting accuracy. The slightest jitter and deviation are enough to make the bullet fly to an unknown place. The real difference is a thousand miles away.
