Chapter 230 Gathering, the beginning of the war
"Fight, you can only fight."
After some thought, Calvin came to the most direct conclusion.
There are various signs that new enemies will appear, and Orps has just taken a breather.
After all, the use of the Grand Fleet is not the Gray Knights' own power. There are many concerns about using this extra bargaining chip, and for the sake of tacit understanding with other forces, it cannot be used again.
Then just use it once!
Calvin made up his mind and decided not to wait for the order in the sector to be reestablished.
Instead, they hope to use their existing power at once to completely eliminate the orcs in the Hassan sector before new enemies arrive.
"Decided?"
Aidan looked at his beloved disciple and the future leader of the Legion. Reaffirm to him his resolve.
Now that Calvin is just starting to take shape, it is a critical moment to establish his authority.
In order not to affect the spread of his influence, the Grand Master Council no longer takes the initiative to issue general orders, but maintains the daily work of the war group and the Tribunal according to the original rhythm.
"The decision is made!"
Facing the eyes of the division commander who brought him all the way into the battle group, Calvin made his will clear.
Hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming.
This sentence had already been a common saying within the military in his previous life. In terms of this strategic level judgment, he was extremely lucky to once again receive the dividends of the heritage of the nation from which he was born.
"Then let's do it! We are still at home, don't worry!"
The veteran watched with relief as this young man started out as a new recruit in the battle group and finally had his own strategic decision-making and determination.
Now that the young eagle has dared to face the wind and rain, the veterans naturally dare to let go and let them do whatever they want.
Calvin turned and left the governor's residence. Accompanied by the honor guard, he walked towards the apron on the top floor of the hive while giving his order to the adjutant Alan Janus beside him:
"Order!"
A deep voice came from his mouth, making Allen next to him instantly enter the state.
Calvin looked at the data pad in Allen's hand with satisfaction, and then said:
"1. Notify the four battle groups that the temporary preparations have been completed and assemble on the spot to advance to the southern theater - the Hassan sector!
2. The Tindaros Legion immediately moves closer to the nearest battleship (Gray Knight), completes boarding and waits for orders!
3. Notify the Inquisition and the Ministry of Military Affairs that I want all the mobile strength of the Astra Militarum in Orps. No concealment or reservation is allowed!
Fourth, notify the representatives of the lower-level Forge World in the sector and ask the technical representatives of the Reza Forge World to come see me as soon as possible! "
After issuing multiple orders, Calvin walked towards the Thunderhawk on standby. As the formation of fighter jets escorted by the gunboat flew away, Calvin also returned to his own ship.
The authority of the High Lord and the special status of the Inquisition are infinitely amplified by him, and the Gray Knight's identity as an Astartes also allows him to be recognized by other chapters in the sector.
With several telegraphs centered on Amara, they spread to the entire star region.
Under his orders, the forces of the entire sector began to mobilize in the direction of all-out war.
Yes, this is the current situation in Orpheus.
Even after losing two adjacent allies, Lyak and Hassan;
Even though the sector itself has been at war with Chaos and the Orcs for more than ten years, the centrifugal Orps has not yet entered the stage of total war.
Within this sector, there are actually galaxies that do not feel the urgency of being threatened by war at all, and are still living in their own little circle of dreams and dreams, and this is not an isolated phenomenon!
Without the arrival of Calvin, without the support of his special identity and the huge force behind him;
According to the original destiny of this place, one of the original three giants will probably take over the final rights here.
And can he unite the entire sector?
impossible.
Because their rise to power was achieved on the basis of collusion and exchange of interests with local forces.
It is impossible for them to betray the interest groups that support them, and it is even less possible for them to lead by example and promote their political opinions to the entire planet.
They can't even govern their own faction, how can they govern other factions?
Fortunately, Calvin came, and fortunately his identity was so transcendent;
Fortunately, his own Gray Knights Chapter has nothing to do with the local area. Fortunately, the weapons under his command are enough to intimidate the local heroes;
Only then could he give an order to bring the entire star region up and transform it towards a system that is entirely dedicated to war.
Large numbers of nobles had been dealt with in previous purges, and their wealth and private armies had been concentrated;
The intertwined status of large families in the sector was changed, and the hidden wealth of these large families hidden from the sight of the sector authorities was also traced and confiscated.
Tens of thousands of private armed forces were collected and concentrated, and hundreds of Astral Legions reappeared on the list of the Imperial Military and Political Department;
And this is just the beginning, a large number of weapons and equipment have been recovered from families with rampant smuggling business;
More hidden and unreported taxes are being collected one after another.
When the feedback from the most remote planetary world in the sector reached Amara, Aidan was almost surprised to find that the first batch of these cleared materials alone was enough to arm hundreds of regiment-level units of the Astra Militarum. .
The follow-up supplies are still on the way. Judging from the data reported on these supplies, the sector's financial distress can even be improved!
At least 500, at most 2000, this is the expansion limit of the Astra Militarum that Aidan reported to Calvin afterwards, and such a large amount of military expansion does not even make up this year's financial budget...
It has been more than a month since Admiral Juan returned to the southern theater adjacent to the Hassan sector.
After receiving Calvin's endorsement, he completely gave up his ambition and intention to take over the sector.
After refocusing on preparing for war with the navy's fleet, he gained the respect and love of the fleet's officers and soldiers;
Now that he has greater control over the large fleet, and is determined to decide the outcome with the orcs, after learning of Calvin's mobilization order and the notice of war preparations to him, he became even more fanatical in preparing for the decisive battle.
St. Elmore's world, a cardinal world named after the state religion's saint Elmore, was also a world that was selected as the core of the southern theater's defense line because of its geographical location after the war broke out.
This special duty-free world, which was once exclusive to the Holy See, is now under construction in full swing.
Under the background that the forces in the sector were fully integrated by Calvin, Juan, who relied on his own troops, no longer had the need to store large amounts of supplies.
All the supplies accumulated over decades in the southern theater were taken out, and with the help of the navy's exclusive engineering ships, huge barracks and permanent defense systems were built.
The naval officers at the front still had doubts when they received the order in the early days, worried that the squandering of supplies would put the subsequent large fleet in poverty and the threat of hostile forces.
But when the first batch of barracks and warehouses were built, the Astra Militarum troops and associated equipment and materials from within the sector were already in place on time as promised.
Then the raindrops of large material transport ships almost brought the entire St. Elmore star port to a standstill.
Massive and uncountable supplies are being transported to the front lines by the vehicles of these charter captains;
The new berths that are being built and completed every day are also used by more incoming ships, swallowing more supplies.
The support from the sector is so unrelenting, which is certainly heartening to the soldiers and people on the frontier.
But when this huge power continued to arrive at such a high standard, these native people finally understood its meaning."
A real war is about to begin.
