The Emperor’s Angel of Death

After dealing with the matters on the battlefield, the seven-member council of Angstrom under the hint and remote control of Soshyan also determined the final candidate. Just as he designed, the sages of the Reza faction occupied 3 seats, of which One is Ernest of the Titan Legion, and Angstrom's local forces occupy three seats. They are the three most powerful forge masters in the foundry world, and the remaining one is the original great sage Bertu Willibald's confidant and his chief apprentice.

The 7-member council elects a speaker through rotation, and temporarily performs part of the duties of the foundry director until the new foundry director takes office—under the instruction of Soshyan, Ernest served as the first speaker for a term of 8 years .

The reason for this arrangement is not complicated. It can not only reduce the resistance of Angstrom's local forces, but also complete the agreement with Reza. At the same time, it also allows Soshyan to have a certain ability to intervene in Angstrom. , at least until the end of the expedition. After all, when the two sides are equal in strength, the only variable has the right to decide, and Bertus Willibald is now his guest, and it will take a while for a representative like Mars to The time will come, then the only variable in the 7-member council is in Soshyan's hands.

Of course, the premise of everything is that the councilor representing the former director of foundry can survive the cruel political struggle in the foundry world, but at least during the expedition, there should be no problem, after all, he inherited Bertus Willibald All the political capital and old contacts left behind are more or less self-preserving.

But naturally not everyone is satisfied with this decision. In fact, just after the naval battle ended, Soshyan encountered a little "little trouble".

When the sages of Rizal walked into Soshyan's personal office on the Eternal Loyalty, his olfactory processor immediately picked up the air that seemed to be filled with cis-3-hexenal and terpenoid derivatives, simulating It's just the smell of natural plants and flowers, but his visual display tells him that there is no vegetation in this military-style office.

At this time, Soshyan was sitting behind a huge table, looking at him with a smile on his face. There were some data boards and file bags piled up on the table in front of the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and there was another one on the right hand side. The teacup with the corresponding size contained some kind of steaming light amber liquid, which should be some kind of drink. Could it be that the smell came from this kind of drink?

"Please sit down."

Sage Reza nodded, but he didn't sit on the chair opposite Soshyan, because his body had already been remodeled so that he didn't have to sit.

"I'm taking the liberty to visit, but I hope I didn't bother you."

"Where, if you don't come, I will go find you."

"It seems that the Supreme Lord Commander has something to say to me."

"Talk about yourself first."

Sage Ruiza took a step forward, but bent his back slightly, trying not to speak higher than Suoshiyan.

"I just don't understand one thing. Why did you let Bertus Willibald live? He is a shameful traitor. You also said before that he is not loyal and should be eliminated."

Soshyan nodded, and responded after a moment of pondering:

"I did, but..."

"but?"

"Sage, why do you think Huron became a traitor?"

"Because he did many acts of rebellion and put himself above the Empire."

"But as the guardian of the maelstrom appointed by the high lord, shouldn't he have the power to do many things?"

"But he's out of line."

Soshyan nodded again.

"Yes, he went out of his way. He did things beyond his authority, and he also tried to use his own power to fight against the rules and laws of the empire."

Sage Ruiza's logic calculator quickly realized that he had been hit by Soshyan's words, but he had no chance to take back his words. Soshyan continued:

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Great Crusade, but it does not mean that I have the right to judge a casting director. You are a member of the Mechanicus, and you should be very clear about the system of the Mechanicus itself, unless he has clearly committed heresy." sin, otherwise we can’t punish him with our own subjective judgment of right and wrong, otherwise I am different from Huron? Yes, he resisted my order and hindered the expedition, so I can relieve him of his duties, I can Deprived him of his power, but in the end he surrendered and pleaded guilty, whether it was out of the honor of an Astarte or a part of the imperial system, I have no reason to kill him again, because his crimes have already been judged , If you want to hold accountable, that's not what I should do. I can't exercise power in place of General Casting. I believe that if he is really guilty, then it is impossible for Mars to let him escape punishment, but Mars thinks he is not guilty enough to die , I can only express regret, what do you think?"

"But this is not consistent with what you said before. I don't know much about the culture of the Astartes, but... As far as I remember, the Astartes still attach great importance to the weight of language."

Soshyan nodded.

"Of course, I can kill him with a sword regardless, and then what? What should a space warrior look like in your mind? Like Brother Seth, killing indiscriminately, leaving behind a mountain of blood and blood, and then grow up Go? Of course it will be easy and simple, which is very in line with the expectations of people in the 41st millennium for Astartes, but... Brother Seth, someone can deal with the aftermath for him, what about me? I don’t, because I am the last to deal with the aftermath That person, the death of Bertus is a trouble to me and even the entire expeditionary force, it is beyond the rules."

The sage of Riza was silent for a long time, and finally came up with a sentence.

"For the first time, I noticed that you are so abiding by the rules."

Suoshyan sighed softly and leaned back slightly.

"To tell you the truth, in this position, I will be sitting on pins and needles one day, for fear that if I do something wrong, I will be attacked by others. After all, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me."

"I can understand that you don't want to kill Bertus Willibald, but what about this council? This seems to be different from our previous agreement."

"Well... this is also the result of my many considerations. Angstrom will be an important strategic supply center for the expeditionary force in the future. Its stability is very important. Although you have been in it for a long time, as far as I am I understand that most of the local forces still resist Reza. Forcibly pushing a foundry director to power will only increase chaos and even cause turmoil. This is not what Reza wants to see, right? After all, you also want peace to lead the blood With the spread of the sect, radical missionary methods are not suitable under the current imperial system. I think Angstrom is a good experimental field. You can learn more about how to spread the teachings on a hostile planet. , and your representatives also got 8 years of power, although it is only partial power, but I think... 8 years can actually do a lot of things, what do you think? And this way can also soften Mars Hostility will make it easier for you to expand your next missionary work, even if Mars sends a new foundry director, the power has been transferred, and there is no point in taking a title in vain."

"Where's Bertus Willibald's apprentice? I think he should be replaced by another person. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Soshyan shook his head.

"You are an academic expert, but not a political veteran. If it were your great sage, he would be very satisfied with my decision."

"Ok?"

"Bertus Willibald has been the foundry director for more than two hundred years and survived the Badab War. He is still very popular in Angstrom. Being rushed out this time does not mean that The political group around him disappears, and if there is no suitable unity goal, then the power of the original foundry director group will be diverted to those powerful local forces, then you may have to face a world that is united and full of resistance... ...But with this political successor, it is different. A considerable part of those forces will surround this successor, and those powerful independent forces may not have the same interests as this successor, and this successor is not enough The prestige of uniting all local forces, in other words, Angstrom's opposition forces are in fact divided."
