Chapter 242 Chapter 108: Rebuke, and Gradually Revealed Clues
This short meeting ultimately failed to come up with a feasible response plan to the possible threat from the orcs.
But it also made all the high-ranking generals present pay more attention to the orcs. At the same time, they were also vaguely prepared for the worst surprises in the coming war.
As the spearhead of the battle, Admiral Juan was undoubtedly the one under the greatest pressure among all the senior generals present;
He is not only responsible for the safety of the entire fleet, but what is even more critical is that if the fleet encounters a unit of this level, there will be heavy losses.
The entire war to regain the Hassan sector will be in vain and unsustainable.
Due to his concerns, the Grand Fleet's attack on the Vorster System, the target of the next phase of the campaign, was no longer as fierce as before. Instead, with the intensity of the attack declining, there was a possibility that the fleet would switch to another battle. reserved.
This is the charm of war and the difference between war and war games.
Small changes in frontline troops can cause global changes;
What's more, such an obvious change in the attack rhythm will naturally affect the subsequent attack waves planned by the headquarters, as well as the deployment progress of various accompanying troops and materials.
The offensive against the Hassan sector is not only composed of soldiers from the front.
A huge team that started from Orps and stretched all the way across the long starry sky to the Hicks and Palmer systems naturally had a huge information delay effect.
Even though the headquarters has made relevant plans, due to the time it takes to transmit the message, a large number of troops still have conflicts and contradictions with the new version of the plan due to missed notifications.
Among them, the loss of materials is another major problem. A large number of soldiers passing by the equipment they were supposed to obtain at a certain transfer point is a major problem.
The headquarters cannot tolerate the mistake of allowing these soldiers to wear protective equipment and weapons that are not suitable for the battlefield environment under conditions of abundant supplies.
Under the pressure of layers of pressure, the staff and logistics support units responsible for central dispatch became the biggest victims of this change.
As the instigator, of course Juan also bears tremendous pressure and accusations.
The opinions of the rear troops against him and the Grand Fleet will not be shown openly, but the decline in the quality of food and medicine, which are non-combat supplies, is also a reality visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, Calvin is different from other high-level officials. His superhuman physical strength and ability to handle things in multiple threads allow him to be far more active and involved in the command of major battles than ordinary people.
He keenly noticed some detailed changes in the labeling of materials in the list of materials sent to the front line.
It is his instinct to feel the emotions of these mortals every day in the headquarters.
He was well aware of Admiral Juan's difficulties and it was within the understandable range.
But these legion groups who ignored the interests of the empire due to work pressure were by no means part of his sympathy for Fan Wei.
If you're afraid of death, don't be a soldier; if you're afraid of getting tired, don't do this job.
The senior officials of the Inquisition and Military Command were quietly summoned to the Revenant Redeemer three days after Calvin discovered the problem.
And as the departments they led began to come out of dormancy, a luxurious list of people involved was sorted out from tens of millions of people across the two major star regions and placed in front of Calvin's case.
At the next regular meeting, Galvin formally informed the other department heads of what he knew and the list.
It was only after his severe rebuke that these high-ranking generals woke up from their belated or ambiguous attitudes.
The meeting has not yet ended, and a large number of disciplinary forces and members directly under the Tribunal have rushed to various nodes in the rear according to the list.
These professionally trained disciplinary forces finally had their first large-scale source of performance after a long time since the war started:
Senior officers, including two brigadiers, were shot on the spot;
Dozens of staff officers at the rank of school officer were executed after being declared guilty by a temporary military court;
Thousands of lieutenant-level logistics officers were deprived of their status, including even friendly troops from Reza.
As for the number of soldiers who were jointly dealt with, they are even more numerous.
It is said that the number of people who were simply convicted of direct crimes and transformed into servitors on the spot was in the thousands.
This time, the hostility towards Juan and his naval officers within the Grand Legion was concealed by Calvin as soon as it became apparent.
And it was also from this incident that the nobles of Orpheus finally got to know Calvin's identity again through this incident.
In the eyes of these generals, he is now more than just a special Astartes warrior with high status;
Put aside the strong military appearance of this one.
Among his public identities, the most precious title of Supreme Lord is preceded by the prefix "Inquisition" which has a strong smell of blood.
And he is still an Astartes, and he obviously has some special status in these war groups participating in the war.
The same awe and obedience that these war groups showed to him may be taken for granted in the eyes of the middle- and low-level bureaucrats who are trapped in a corner.
But just like the closer you are to the truth, the less you believe in myths;
The closer the senior generals got to the center of Imperial power, the more they became aware of the special attitude of the Astartes towards their fellow Chapters and the High Lords of the Empire.
How could someone enjoy the same lofty status in different war groups?
How could anyone, with his seemingly noble position as High Lord, be able to make thousands of Astartes warriors from different origins put aside their cultural conflicts and unite under one banner, commanding them like an arm, even if they die thousands of times? Instead of changing his loyalty?
Transfer of benefits? Or the aura of power?
Are you kidding? If this truth really exists, then where would it be Calvin's turn to make them wonder?
Thinking of those mysterious Mechanicus Priests of the Order of Omens and representatives of Mars, as well as the Father Constantine who had been inseparable from Calvin since his arrival in Orpheus;
These high-level people, who were far away from the center of imperial power but could still vaguely smell it, came to a terrifying conclusion in their hearts that they dared not share with others:
“Military power, think about the Chapter Astartes under his command, he has it;
Political power, think about his current title, he also has it;
As for the governance power that represents productivity, he now has it, accompanied by representatives from the worlds of Mars and Reza, who represent the central and local forces of the Mechanicum.
What's this?
This is a taboo existence beyond the rules within the empire's political territory, but it is still abnormally active in their eyes and has not been attacked by a group;
This is to truly grasp the true unity of politics and religion under the imperial double-headed eagle system after putting aside the state religion.
When did the empire actually raise such a monster!
The world of the empire is about to change!
This boy is definitely not a lucky person! This person should be a regent! "
