Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 354: War Smoke Rising (1/2)

Then there are the employees and experts of the Ocean Fisheries and United Metallurgical Company. The Golden Plains has many plains and a suitable climate for farming, but this does not mean that this planet can only be used for farming. The Golden Plains also has rich marine resources. Under Li's arrangement, three large steel mills and six docks will be completed within a year, and the original small steel mills on this planet that were destroyed in the war will also be rebuilt.

It is also necessary to apply to the Casting World for some "agricultural special production lines" used by the Agricultural World. This is not a difficult task. The Mechanicus is not very interested in civilian machinery production lines, and generally you can get them with money.

With raw materials, tools, and food, the people of the planet can create themselves and then gradually recover from the war. It will take at least fifty years for the Golden Plains to be able to transfuse blood to the Knights Templar. When the young people today gradually grow old with time, their hometown will completely recover from the scars of war. During this process, someone must help Li supervise here. As the leader of the regiment, Li cannot focus on government affairs all day long. After this incident is over, the matter of selecting an agent must be put on the agenda. Li needs a trustworthy person to help him manage this planet and make the planet develop on the right track.

Li thought about it, and then thought of a pair of beauties - Countess Bartoli and her niece, Anne Bartoli. The young girl Anne is the heir selected by Countess Bartoli. I think her management ability should be good. I should find a time to let them come and see. And these two are both beauties. Li really misses them. It seems that one morning, they said that they could find happiness with Li together. Thinking of this, Li smiled, and then took out a note, and a transfer order was quickly issued by him.

Under Li's orders, the industry of Reach Star began to gradually extend to the Golden Wilderness Planet. It is believed that in fifty years, Reach Star and Golden Wilderness will have a closer connection. The large companies under Li's control will span the stars and affect the lives of people in both worlds in all aspects.

In short, Li is now fully committed to the construction. People of all kinds keep coming in and out of his office. There are ragged refugee representatives, businessmen in suits, and engineers from the Forge World waving and shaking mechanical tentacles behind them. These people come in and out, and Li's passionate speeches keep ringing in his office. Everyone who walks out of Li's office has a smile on their face, and passion ripples in their bodies. Everyone believes in Li's words, and they can almost peek into the future of this planet through Li's bewitching language.

These people firmly believe that under the leadership of this leader, this planet will once again become a beautiful field covered with golden wheat waves. Not only that, this leader has greater ambitions. The marine fishery will be gradually developed, and various mineral resources will be explored one by one. This planet will change from a simple agricultural planet to a habitable planet. The population of the planet will increase, and trade will flourish, which often means a large amount of throne coins.

Li was busy like a spinning top, not stopping for a moment. He was busy planning the future of the golden field in the void and in the hearts of others, and making people believe what he said. Twenty days passed in a flash. When the Black Knight Virgil returned to Li's office to report, Li was discussing a business deal with two businessmen. It was unknown what Li said, but the two businessmen burst into laughter. Then the three shook hands. Li filled three glasses of golden beer for the three. After the three toasted, they drank the beer in the glasses. Li then escorted the two businessmen out the door. Then Li hung up a sign saying "Do not disturb". Then the two warriors blocked the entire corridor outside Li's door.

"Your habit is not good," Li poured himself a glass of beer after closing the door. "You don't knock on the door or show your figure. You just run around in stealth. I'm fine. But if someone who is unfamiliar with you and more sensitive shoots you before you even open your mouth, what will you do?"

"That would be bad luck," Virgil appeared from the void and said with a bitter face, "But I don't think the situation you mentioned will happen. Even if the brothers in the regiment want to find me, it's not easy. I really don't understand how you found me so easily."

"Even if I'm your mentor, there's no need to teach you everything. Don't ask me how you were exposed. Figure it out yourself. Do you want a drink?"

"Hey, thank you."

"How did it go?" Li asked while pouring Virgil a glass.

"Just as you said, there is no difficulty. Nowadays, almost all the underground facilities of the Wilderness Gate are idle. We did not encounter any difficulties along the way. I talked to Captain Carter once, and he took the initiative to join us with more than a dozen people. This guy is very useful and knows the situation of the warehouse very well. This time he is a great help. The result is that we return with a full load. According to what you said, we have basically moved everything that can be moved, and even moved some of the weapons."

"Have you counted the things?"

"We are counting them. Food, clothes and tents are stored in Warehouse No. 3, and weapons are stored in Warehouse No. 6."

"Well done, but it's a bit unnecessary. What do we need the defense army's weapons for? What's the use of their guns? Use them as flashlights? Those things are useless and sensitive, so it's just right to put them in Warehouse No. 6."

Virgil rubbed his hands, took a deep breath and said, "My lord, this time is different."

"Why is it different?"

"It's six Valkyrie fighters."

"What?" Li was stunned, "Did I hear it right? Say it again, what is it?"

Virgil repeated a little awkwardly, "It's the Valkyrie fighter."

"Hiss," he took a breath of cold air, it was actually the Valkyrie fighter? This time, it seems to be a bit big. The Valkyrie fighter is a multi-functional fighter that can take off and land vertically. The vector engine gives this war record excellent performance. It can also be used as a transport aircraft. It can also be used as a heavy weapon support fighter with weapons mounted on it. It can also be used as a bomber with bomb droppers mounted on it. In short, it is a fighter with many functions. The only regret is that this is an intra-atmospheric aircraft, and the cost is a bit expensive. Military supplies are like this. Those that fly in the sky are always a little more expensive than those that run on the ground. When Li was fighting against the orcs on Reach Star, he was reluctant to buy this kind of fighter. On the one hand, there were too few of these fighters and they could not form combat effectiveness. On the other hand, if there were too many of them, it would not be worth it in terms of cost performance. In addition, there were not many skilled fighter pilots. As a result, he gave up the order for fighters and replaced them all with armored forces.

As a result, he stole the Valkyrie fighter back for himself this time, and moved six at a time. It is estimated that he emptied one of the opponent's hangars. But Li quickly came to his senses, frowned and asked: "How is it possible? How did you do it? The Valkyrie is a fighter plane, how did you move it out?"

"We dismantled the fighter plane and then transported it out in batches."

"Well, this is a big profit. The value of six Valkyries is much higher than food, clothing and tents."

"Captain, am I wrong?"

"What's wrong? It's absolutely right. Since you are secretly taking things from someone else's house, do you still need to be polite to him? You are very restrained to take only this little. How are you doing with the follow-up?"

"Set off a timed incendiary bomb and disguise it as a big fire. It's OK, but it won't be very useful. There's almost nothing to burn in the fire, and Yegorov should be able to see that. "

"Who wants to hide it from him? Several warehouses were half empty. There's no way to hide such a thing. The fire was just to make it easier to negotiate later." Li patted Virgil on the shoulder and praised him, "You did a great job. Now you take people to distribute food. Remember to call more brothers from the regiment. They must look decent and wear the uniforms of our regiment. Also, let the mechanical slaves paint over the marks on the clothes and tents. The painted tents and winter clothes will be distributed.

"Yes! "

For the defense forces stationed in the Golden Wilderness, this autumn is not an easy season to get through. The already bad-tempered political commissar Yegorov became even more irritable after an inexplicable fire.

Yegorov intensified the training of the soldiers stationed in the Gate of the Wilderness, and suddenly shot several people, making the soldiers more cautious and walking more cautiously, but privately, all kinds of rumors spread like wildfire.

The mainstream view is that the people of the Knights Templar somehow dug a tunnel from the ground to the warehouse, and took away a lot of food and clothes stored in the underground warehouse of the Gate of the Wilderness. It is said that several large warehouses were emptied. In order to move quickly, the other party even built a simple subway, just driving a small truck underground to move, and also moved several Valkyrie fighters in a hangar, and set a fire before leaving.

What's more infuriating is that the Knights Templar The Knights Templar had already started distributing food, winter clothing and tents. The other side didn't even dye the colors, just simply painted the signs and distributed them.

As a result, it easily attracted cheers and praises from the local people.

After Yegorov lost his temper a few times, he didn't say much. Is it useful to say this to his soldiers? According to the temper of Political Commissar Yegorov, he should have led his soldiers to fight directly, pointed a pistol at the head of Captain Li, and forced the other party to admit his mistake, but the garrison in the Gate of the Wilderness was less than 500, and most of them were logistics personnel. There were no heavy weapons, and the light weapons in their hands couldn't even penetrate the opponent's power armor. How to fight?

Yegorov had no choice but to write a report and hand it in. In the report, he directly accused Captain Li of the Knights Templar of being a traitor to the empire, a terrible enemy of the Imperial Defense Force, and a despicable thief in the military. Then he reported the whole story to the Far East Defense Force Command in detail.

The generals in the headquarters were shocked. The Inquisition had recently made a big mess. The situation in the Far East was already tense. The generals thought that a certain regiment in the Far East had raised the flag of rebellion. After a closer look, they found that it was their own people who were stolen. They were relieved and asked people to calculate the stolen materials. Then they privately scolded Yegorov, the idiot. Damn, you have the nerve to shout when such a small thing was stolen. You didn't close the door and let people empty your house. How dare you shout everywhere? Yes, this is the mentality of the generals. Compared with Li, who was very happy for a few days after getting six fighters for nothing, the generals in the Far East are real rich people. In fact, in this vast star map of the Far East, countless defense forces are fighting with the emperor's enemies in different worlds, alert to the depths of the universe. Compared with Li, who is poor, the generals in the headquarters are undoubtedly real super rich.

Although they hated the incompetence of the political commissar in their hearts, the generals still followed the procedures.

The command took this report to the Star Wars Corps Elder Council, and the Elder Council received the command politely. After the people were driven away, these old space warriors closed the door and laughed happily for a while, then sent a query to Li, roughly repeated the matter, and asked Li if he had anything to say.

Li's reply was very simple, to the effect of, what! ? Stealing? How is it possible, this is an insult! We definitely didn't do it, but I heard that the other party's warehouse caught fire again. Don't you think it was because of poor management that the things were burned, and now you want to blame me?

Just as the two sides were fighting a long-distance lawsuit over a distance of thousands of light years, a major event happened in the Far East. What everyone was worried about finally happened. This time, the Far East Tribunal finally failed to cover up the matter, and the internal handling failed completely.

Li and Elizabeth should be blamed for this matter. Elizabeth represented the Far East Tribunal and had a secret agreement with the Eldar. After completing the secret agreement, Elizabeth returned to the Far East Tribunal like a hero. She has now become a real living legend in the Tribunal. Not only did she go to the Eldar's Black Gallery for a year of meditation, she also brought back the list that the Far East Tribunal has always longed for.

This is a cancer inside the Tribunal, a list of some people from the Istvania faction. As we all know, the Tribunal is a huge and terrifying organization that protects the empire and guards against chaos. It integrates spies, the army, trials and many other powers. There has never been a lack of lunatics in this organization, all kinds of lunatics. Some lunatics really believe that disasters make the country prosperous, and people are short-sighted. If they don't do something, they don't know the value of peace. So these people have been committed to making trouble all over the galaxy. Sometimes they will instigate rebellions, or simply support the rebels secretly. Sometimes they will deliberately leak some key intelligence at critical moments, causing the failure of military operations, making the war that could have been easily won a mess, and the war that could have been completed in a year has to be fought for more than ten years.

Even in the Inquisition full of lunatics, it can't stand that there are such lunatics among its own internal personnel? You said that disasters can make a country prosperous, and you actually believed it. You believed it, and you actually wanted to do it. You still want to create some disasters when there are no disasters. Such lunatics gathered together secretly, and they were the Istvania faction hidden in the Inquisition.

Since they are all engaged in intelligence work, no one trusts anyone. It is almost impossible to rely on one or two people to dig out the people in this faction. In fact, in any powerful spy organization, counterintelligence is always the most troublesome.

Fortunately, this time the legendary Elizabeth got the list back from the Eldar.

As a result, a big mess was made. There were several high-ranking officials of the Far Eastern Tribunal on this list. But even so, the leaders of the Far Eastern Tribunal still decided to make a big cleanup. No matter what, no matter how much blood was shed, the cancer had to be cut off. But before these leaders were ready and started the big cleanup, the people on the list had almost run away.

Elizabeth looked back and thought carefully, and then she vaguely understood that she was probably fooled by the Eldar.

Is the list she got real?

It's hard to say. In Elizabeth's opinion, it is estimated that it is 70% true. Some of the people on the list are people given up by the Eldar, some are people who the Eldar don't like, and some are people who the Eldar think "this person is very strong, it will be fun if his name is on the list."

In any case, the Tribunal will face a huge turmoil, and heavy bleeding is inevitable.

And the Eldar must have concealed some people, and these people are in high positions, otherwise they would not be exposed so thoroughly, and they haven't started yet? The people on the list have almost all run away, and they are not simple. Some of them are elites from the Assassin's Court, and it is easy for them to kill one person every ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles. Some of them have extremely deep brotherhood with the manufacturing directors of several manufacturing worlds, and some of them have life-and-death friendship with the commanders of the defense forces of some military regions.

In short, these are all powerful people. They used to be powerful in their positions. It was just a matter of signing their signatures to mobilize the legions of several military regions to fight. Now they have to be swept away like dust in the general cleaning. If they can disappear quietly, then they are really just dust. But they all ran away, and the result is trouble.

In a short time, the Far East star region was full of smoke. Just when the golden wilderness entered winter, thirteen worlds in the Far East had already raised the flag of rebellion.
