The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Although this happened, the exercise of the Alliance of Suffering is not over yet, and Soshyan does not intend to give up halfway. He can only arrange for Mazar and others to continue to preside over the exercise, while he himself must return to the monastery of the chapter to prepare for the upcoming expedition Planning is done.

In fact, about how to carry out an expedition, Soshyan has no clue now. After all, this is no better than the fact that he led the chapter in the past. The astral army, the navy, the local troops, and other Astartes who came to reinforce each other have their own independence. The chain of command and logistics that he had learned in the past did not teach him how to integrate these disparate systems.

"The Age of Rebirth"

In addition, he had to consider the larger supply system required by the huge army, for which he even read the biography of Silaidu for several hours and the biography of Macharius - Silaiduo was the last large-scale expedition of the Empire to Sabat. The expedition-appointed Warmaster, and Macharius, the famous Sun Lord, led one of the greatest expeditions since the Great Rebellion of Man.

After reading a lot of tomes, Soshyan realized that the first thing he had to do was to identify a supply center.

As Sabart once said to the young officers in his autobiography:

"Forget the heroic legends of the empire, forget the stories of bravery and sacrifice, forget the legends where less wins more, do you really think that if we rely on those stories in battle, we can hold the God-Emperor's territory? I will To tell you the truth, the victory or defeat of every battle is decided long before the gun is picked up, the true glory of the army lies in a simple and mundane thing - planning, if there is no ammunition reserves, no uniforms and bedding Ledger, without a supply channel, without a list of equipment, you are screwed! I will tell you one more thing, the most powerful weapon in all armies, although you may not believe me now, but when you see it, you will You'll believe it, stop laughing, listen to me, it's a transport ship and a transport vehicle."

After the second army was founded, the Astartes' combat method has undergone fundamental changes, from the original large corps operations to chapter-level special operations, which also led to the Astartes' dependence on logistics. It is greatly reduced, and often one or two ships or a fleet of materials are enough to support them in a long war.

However, according to the experience of past expeditions, once the army gathers and reaches the magnitude of 100 million, it is a fantasy to try to rely solely on the fleet to maintain logistics. Generally speaking, the expeditionary force will first establish a supply world as the key logistics fulcrum of the expedition.

These worlds are usually full of city-level storage warehouses and logistics facilities. The whole world exists to manage, reserve, and send the materials and equipment stored in these worlds. The entire planet is a huge logistics that provides important support for expeditions. center.

Usually, this kind of world will reserve billions of weapons and other astronomical quantities of supporting ammunition and equipment. A large number of supply fleets and materials from various production centers will be concentrated here, and will be continuously dispatched and replenished. In addition, The world will also be equipped with huge port facilities so that various supply ship pairs can turn around here, so that the expeditionary force can obtain the fastest and highest quality supplies here.

And this supply world itself is not only a logistics transit center and storage point, but also a direct gathering point for the entire expedition supply system. For example, when an expeditionary force completes a war, they will return to this supply world to carry out large-scale operations. Large-scale full supply or direct full replacement of new equipment.

In addition, with the extension of the front line, the supply world will continue to expand into sub-worlds and even new supply worlds. For example, at the end of the Sabat expedition, the new war commander Makaros, who succeeded the fallen Slaido commander, is in the Cabal galaxy. Build three supply worlds, and a dozen secondary supply centers.

All in all, the larger the war, the more supply worlds are required, and the denser it is.

However, Soshyan has not found such a suitable place on the map at present, mainly because the situation in the Maelstrom area is very dark and unclear. He has obtained the latest map, but there are still many worlds marked as "unknown" - this concept It is also very funny. It is obviously under the banner of the empire, but it does not seem to be under the official control of the empire.

In fact, looking closely at the situation map of the Maelstrom, Soshyan also has a shocking feeling, because now it is clearly still under the control of the empire, only the Sagan galaxy, the Estron galaxy, and the Endymion star cluster remain. The Badab galaxy, the hometown of Star Claw, was once taken back by the Empire after the Badab War, but after Huron's re-emergence, under the impact of the red pirates' looting again and again, this galaxy, together with the entire Badab sector almost abandoned.

But Huron did not return to his former home. He knew that this poisoned area had no value in the past, so the Badab galaxy became a paradise for free pirates, but the main force of the red pirates did not complete the withdrawal. Instead, many fortresses were built as a channel for external plunder and a defensive zone.

As for the Mag star cluster and its surrounding areas, it has completely become the domain of the red pirates. The imperial forces have almost completely withdrawn from that place. Only the only outpost of the Estron galaxy is still standing, but its existence is more like It was the Black Heart King who did it on purpose.

Soshyan can only say how hot the Badab war was in those days, and how bad the situation is now. That war not only defeated Huron, but also completely smashed the empire’s own order in the region in a sense. And the Space Marine Chapters that participated in the war ended up going back to their respective homes, looking for their own mothers, leaving behind a piece of chicken feathers and a mess that couldn't be cleaned up.

Although a few participating chapters stayed, the actual situation refers to the Ranger Warriors. Under Huron's continuous revenge, it is difficult for them not to mention confrontation, but even to keep themselves. If you can run away, you don't dare to stay in the maelstrom area at all.

The only thing Soshyan thinks is more reliable now is the Sagan Galaxy, which used to be the eleven tax hub of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Maelstrom. It is naturally a logistics center, and it also has a huge spaceport and perfect storage facilities.

The only question is how to do this, after all, turning a world of extremely valuable trade hubs into a supply world would mean military control of it, and even interruption of trade routes that extend from there.

It is conceivable that the Ministry of the Interior will oppose it with high probability, but Soshyan has the right to do so, but they will also choose not to cooperate, so what should he do in the face of a world that does not cooperate?

"Alas, I seem to need a professional team to handle these things..."

With a long sigh, Soshyan, who was wearing a loose robe, closed the biography of Sledo in front of him. When he was troubled by various thoughts, a pair of slender and pure white jade arms wrapped around his neck from behind.

Followed by that familiar fragrance, and a slightly smiling sweet voice.

"Hmm~www.readwn.com~ Dear War Commander, what are you worrying about?"

Soshyan sighed again, covering his forehead with his palm.

"Veronica, don't talk about this title, Talos did it before, and it made me panic now."

"What are you panicking about?"

"It's not that you don't know what these two words mean..."

Veronica, who was wearing a long green dress, stretched out her finger and pointed to the thick book in front of Soshyan. The cover was the image of Sledo holding a long sword branded with metal.

"Isn't he too?"

"That's a mortal. Space Marines are different... I'm just the commander of the Supreme Lord now, and I can't use that name indiscriminately."

Soshyan tried to explain to Veronica, but the language seemed a little weak.
