Chapter 233 The agreement in the storm and the rising tide in the star field
Although the cardinals looked at Saratan with puzzled eyes, under his return gaze, they still hesitantly raised their hands to follow.
Navy representative Samir Tai, as one of the other participating forces, was the first to raise his hand in response;
The good news of the Orpheus Northern Theater has spread throughout the star field. The decisive battle with the Chaos Fleet and victory are a powerful encouragement to all navies.
The high-ranking officers and family members of the navy were more or less aware of Calvin's significance in this battle. As the son of the Admiral High Lord, he was naturally one of them.
(The High Lord Admiral is not the High Lord of Terra. The full name of the naval representative in the High Lords Council of Terra is - Grand Admiral, Supreme Lord of the Imperial Navy personally awarded by the Emperor, not the High Lord Admiral. 2. There is also an honorary military rank as an interval between them, which I won’t go into details here.)
As one of the numerous sons of the Fleet Admiral, he had a strong interest in traveling to Orps to fight in the war.
This kind of opportunity to fight under the command of a high lord is rare. Whether it is resources or troops, he is extremely optimistic about Calvin's influence.
In his prime, he lacked neither connections nor qualifications;
The only thing he lacks, or what prevents him from becoming independent from his family and becoming a glorious Imperial Navy captain, is the undisputed meritorious service brought about by a great war;
If he could rely on his achievements in this battle to become independent from his family and then become the commander of a battleship, it would be a great help to his future.
The Grand Master representative of the Death Watch in the Storm Star Territory, Alina Yang, also silently raised his right hand covered with ceramite armor. He had no interest in the entanglements behind these political affairs;
But any campaign that can unite the scattered resources of the empire on a large scale and carry out a powerful attack on the aliens under the leadership of high-ranking people is something they will definitely support.
Representatives from the Ministry of the Interior and the Military Command looked at each other implicitly. They were stunned by the failure brought about by the direction of the meeting, but they were unwilling to give up.
Led by Saratan, the supreme administrator under the Holy See, the vast majority of cardinals among the religious representatives have raised their hands in agreement;
The remaining ones who have not expressed their opinions are only a few cardinals whose jurisdictions are adjacent to Terra and are influenced by the Archbishop of Terra, and two representatives of the Mechanicum who have never spoken.
Their opinions are extremely important, and the opinion of the Forge General, who is the representative of the Mars faction, is not expected, as Mars has always had a close relationship with the Inquisition;
As a direct recipient of Calvin's edict, the attitude of Reza's forging world representatives will directly affect the final outcome of the meeting.
But the world of Ryza cannot resist the call from a supreme lord alone. They are also famous for their prudent and steady diplomatic style in the past ten thousand years.
Although Calvin's behavior of directly naming their Titan Legion was abrupt, without the help of other allies, both of them knew that the most likely possibility was that Reza would comply with Calvin's request and then privately propose other conditions afterwards.
They exchanged glances and pushed each other, hoping that someone from each other would stand up and become the first person in the meeting to express their opposition clearly.
In the end, it was the Astra Militarum's natural dependence on the Ministry of Interior in terms of material distribution that put him at a disadvantage.
Under the urging of their allies, the representatives of the Astra Militarum had no choice but to cough lightly, straighten their uniforms and prepare to stand up to object.
clang! clang! clang!
The bell rang outside the venue, indicating that there were temporary matters that needed to be sent to the conference room.
The representative of the military headquarters who was stuck in the middle shrugged helplessly to the allies beside him, indicating that he should be calm.
A gap opened next to the huge steel door of the conference room.
Under the gaze of everyone, a mechanical priest wearing a Chu red robe bowed his head and walked quietly, sending a data tablet to the desk of the representative of the world of Reza. (The uniforms of the Adeptus Mechanicus are uniformly red, but the specific color shades vary according to the faction. The most famous one is the iconic bright red of Mars, and the others have their own expressions.)
"Please wait!"
Trinary Solomon, the ruling sage from the Reza Forge World, raised his native arm to signal that the meeting was temporarily suspended.
On the power backpack behind him, there is a mechanical arm dedicated to data communication. At this time, it is humming and changing forms, converting the interface into a standard consistent with the data board.
"Hmm...the blueprint of the planet killer, and the samples of three experimental ships with different construction progress?"
His mind began to make rapid calculations based on the unexpected arrival of the chip and the gains and losses brought about by the transaction;
Another language and logic area in the brain also started communicating with the Martian Mechanic Priest sitting next to him.
The other party had obviously received this document in advance and readily agreed to the communication initiated with Solomon.
Under the watchful eyes of all the participants, the two started encrypted communication at the spectral level as if no one else was around. Green and bright yellow lasers shot through their eyes, and the huge amounts of information loaded in them were exchanged and analyzed with astonishing efficiency. ,confirm.
3 seconds, only three seconds.
The two Forge World representatives, who are among the top five factions in the Mechanicus, have completed a huge amount of information exchange and strategic mutual trust under countless various agreements that are only known within the Mechanicus.
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Sage Solomon ignored the request of the representative of the Military Command Department to speak. Under the latter's twitching expression, he announced to everyone in a cold but conclusive tone:
"The Reza world has felt the sincerity of the Inquisition and is willing to contribute its own little strength to this battle under the command of the Supreme Lord Calvin!" As his voice fell, the mechanical priests of the Mars faction and the remaining cardinals also raised their hands to express their opinions. "It's over!" The two mortals with ulterior motives looked ashen. Knowing that the situation was over, they sat in their seats for a long time without saying a word. But the agenda would not wait for them. After everyone had expressed their opinions, the only two left seemed so abrupt. After being silent for a long time, the two finally regained their consciousness from the silent gaze of the crowd. After realizing that they were already isolated, the two had to force themselves to cheer up and respond to these scrutinizing eyes with a very reluctant smile: "The Military Command/Ministry of the Interior is honored to participate in this battle and will unconditionally obey the command of the Supreme Lord!" The meeting that determined the policy direction of the Storm Star Region for the next few decades finally came to an end. At the same time, corresponding to the various forces participating in this meeting, forces with their own backgrounds in various places in the distant Storm Star Region also began to move towards the direction of Orpheus.
Second update, please vote.
In addition, I just crawled out of isolation, and my production capacity has been a little bit low recently, please forgive me.
