too late, organism

The emperor was still saying a second ago, there is no strange force, no kneeling when you stand up!

As a result, he turned his head and saw that his son was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed. The emperor was so angry that he pushed the disobedient little friend on the ground and knelt down to reflect on what stupid thing he had done.

We all know what happened afterwards, the emperor was forced to sit on the golden throne, and Lorgar cursed and said in the eyes of fear, now you should admit that you are a god.

So usually, firmness of faith is at odds with flexibility of mind.

But some of the wise ones among the War Sisters are, I believe in the Emperor, but I don’t believe it all. I believe that the Emperor is our cold sun, the only way to guide us forward, but the Emperor is also a human being, and he has something to do. There are things that cannot be done, so someone must do these things, and why can't that person be me?

If in another world line, these great minds will soon feel that they have heresy tendencies because of the mysticism of the empire, and they will voluntarily become those atonement nuns who only wear cloth strips and carry big swords.

But in this world line, the emperor himself said, well said!After you are very energetic, these nuns have become the reserves of the big nuns and the commanders of the squad.

However, although these nuns are proficient in how to burn heretics to ashes, they are not particularly good at finding those hidden heresies, so in the Rebellion Order, the judges from the Devil Tribunal occupy the majority. the vast majority.

And after carrying these judges to their space monastery, the Sun-class battlecruiser named: Pious Repentance, Cat Che ordered the fleet to set sail again.

But this time after the cat car was ordered to set sail again, someone found the cat car again, but this time the cat car did not order the fleet to stop advancing.

The person who came was the Tianshi battle group responsible for escorting the dark elf prisoners of war. I didn't expect that I would receive this gift. The cat car immediately felt that it was not easy. I have sprinkled coins so many times in the Warhammer world. This is the first time I received It was a great surprise to receive a gift.

The boys of the Tianshi battle group can do it, the road is wide, as long as I am in the cat car for a day, I will protect your Tianshi battle group for a day.

However, although I am very moved, there are some words that cannot be said. Maoche knows very well that if I appreciate this kind of behavior at this moment, then although I can receive more gifts in return, I will also have more troubles wait for yourself.

So Mao Che just wrote down this favor, and after receiving the space fighters of the Tianshi Chapter, after appreciating their behavior of killing heresies, he just gave them a batch of plasma pistols with the words "Dark Eldar Killer" as a gift. Mind.

After all, everyone is richer now, and this batch of plasma pistols is not a particularly exaggerated return gift.

After all, when resupplying the interstellar warriors before, even the Thunderhawk, a vehicle that only a few particularly wealthy warbands would have, and the cat car were all about transportation.

Chapter 430 414 Hive City Model

Shortly after sending off the space warriors of the Tianshi Chapter, the Starfire Expeditionary Force led by Cat Che arrived at the closest to the solar system and also the most famous hive world in the empire: Necromunda.

This world is almost the template of all hive worlds in the empire, with a huge population living in a huge building made of various machines that lack reasonable maintenance.

This huge building is the Hive City. The lower layer of the abandoned Hive City is usually composed of various dangerous mutant creatures on the dry seabed and a huge amount of dangerous industrial waste. The air here has been severely polluted, and there is almost no place for people to breathe. The air that is normally breathed is so polluted that even the gas chambers of the Germans in the 2K period are ashamed.

After all, after hundreds of thousands of years of crazy industrial construction, the waste generated by those industrial productions was discharged into the space at the bottom of the hive city without any treatment, completely polluting the land and air here, as for the water body, it was even worse. Consists essentially entirely of industrial emissions.

Because water is a precious resource to maintain the operation of the hive city, before discharging the garbage to the bottom of the hive city, the people of the water industry guild try their best to filter out all the water bodies in the industrial discharge, which basically makes the liquid here basically all from Composed of toxic waste.

These pollutants crazily mutate the creatures living here into poisonous and terrifying appearances. The level of danger even makes some greenskins and genetic predators need to be careful.

Among them, the most common are those huge spiders. Their body size is similar to that of a small shuttle. Their fangs can even pierce the ceramic steel armor plate on the space warrior's armor, and the venom they spew can corrode even metal.

Of course, the bottom layer of every hive is indispensable, the most classic and also the most dangerous creature in this wasteland: hive criminals.

In fact, it is not easy to enter the bottom of the hive capital, because the empire has actually regressed to the feudal era, so there is also a strict hierarchy in the hive capital.

Most of the workers and civilians live in the middle layer of the hive capital. Although it is under thick black clouds, these civilians may not be able to see the sun once in their lifetime.

But as long as they work hard, they can basically maintain a normal life. In some places, the living standard of these workers can be called very good. Although the housing is very crowded and there is no community landscaping, it is safe. Peace and stability are already the greatest luxury that the empire can give these ordinary people in this universe where wars are everywhere.

The upper layer of the hive capital is where the elites of the empire, that is, high-ranking officers and nobles live. This place is located above the polluted dark clouds, with fresh air and plenty of sunshine, and there is also a garden-like garden. greening.

Here you don't even feel that you are in a declining empire, and any item used to decorate the environment here is a luxury that middle-level workers may not even be able to afford in their lifetime.

Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of the social classes in the hive city, the elevators between each layer of the hive city are strictly guarded by the Planetary Defense Force. It is almost impossible for the middle layer to enter the upper layer of the hive city. Unless you are a resident of the upper layer of the hive city yourself, or you have a pass issued by the governor, otherwise you will only be waiting for you. Which one to use depends on the mood of the person at the time.

In order to prevent monsters from the lower hives from entering the middle hives, the planetary governor usually seals off most of the passages between the lower hives and the middle hives, and the few remaining passages are also heavily guarded by the defense forces.

Therefore, without some special means, it is difficult to enter the lower hive capital, and even if they enter the lower hive capital, for those newcomers who do not know how dangerous the lower hive capital is, usually seven out of ten people will die in the lower hive capital just now. In the first three months after entering the lower level of the Hive Capital, not only water and food, but even gas mask filter elements were in short supply in this wasteland.

And those who can survive in this wasteland are not villains and tough guys in the general sense. In order to survive in an environment where every piece of soil is rich in deadly toxins, these hive criminals What they do already makes it hard to call them human.

But today these tough guys encountered even more terrifying existences than them. The emperor's angels of death entered the wasteland that could hardly be bathed in the emperor's glory in large numbers, and began to use bolt guns and flamethrowers to give these The criminals sent a warning to the cat cart, pay attention in the next life.

At the moment, the cat car is furious in the office of Governor Necromonda.

There is also a reason for Maoche to be so angry. After all, as a person who has already traveled half of the empire and dealt with the affairs of the star field for a period of time before Guilliman woke up, Maoche feels that he should have experienced many battles. Yes, but there is nothing to surprise yourself in a larger hive world, at most there are only a few gene stealers, anyway, there are not many other things, the big sword is enough.

Especially after being ambushed on Terra last time, the current great swords are all dispatched in units of ten under the command of Denisa who was promoted to No. 1 of the great sword. The hive capital is full of gene stealers, and they can all escape from birth, and let the armored troops dispatch these aliens to the sky one by one.

So the cat car was only going to check the problem of the gene stealer, and then set off to the next world.

And the just-established Rebellion Society obviously won't miss this opportunity to express themselves. Since there are few people in this society, Maoche has given them the privilege to contact themselves directly.

This made these judges very relieved. In the past, when conducting investigations, they had to guard against their superiors. After all, it is not news in the trial court that the boss killed the subordinate, and the subordinate killed the boss.

But there is nothing to be afraid of being able to directly contact San Karl now. If San Karl has problems, then everyone might as well vote for Chaos earlier, so that at least they will not lose a high position.

So the energetic judges entered this hive world and began to investigate the heresy, but it didn't matter if they didn't investigate, the judges were frightened and jumped up on the spot.

This is the world of empire?You call this kind of place where heresy is everywhere or even exists openly called the imperial world?

After the report was sent to the cat car, the cat car jumped up on the spot, ordered the Space Marine Chapter and the Sisters of War troops to start landing without saying a word, and he himself rushed into the planet governor's office with the forbidden army, roaring and smashing The planetary governor's priceless table made by Terra scared the planetary governor so much that he almost thought he was going to the shooting range today.

Chapter 431 415 The Empire's Way of Governing

Originally, when Maoche dealt with the planetary governor before, it was to collect some eleven taxes and force the planetary governor to accept some refugees and the like.

Because at that time, Maoche was full of military preparations, and did not have a deep understanding of these imperial worlds. Even Maoche had never set foot on these planets, but only saw these imperial worlds in space.

Therefore, Maoche has no understanding of how the governors of these planets manage the world they rule.

However, as a cat who stands under the red flag in the spring breeze and is a gestalt toaster after crossing, I think that no matter how bad a social organization is, Zenoer is already the lower limit, right?Anyway, it's an interstellar empire, so it shouldn't be too embarrassing.

Therefore, based on this kind of judgment, after receiving the report from the judges, the cat's first reaction was that the governor of this planet wanted to rebel!

In a hive world, almost every one of the dozen or so guilds has been found to be heresy. Are you trying to plot rebellion or what are you trying to do?

After Maoche calmed down for a while, he felt that Necromunda was so close to Terra, but anyone with an IQ higher than a cockroach knew that there was only a dead end for rebellion here, and next to it was the entire Imperial Fists, announcing rebellion on the front foot, and the empire on the back foot The fist came to the door to deliver warmth, and the warmth of [-] degrees was enough to warm the cold hearts of the traitors again.

Since it is not a matter of loyalty, it can only be a matter of ability.

Responsibility!Must be held accountable!

So the cat car rushed into the office of the planetary governor with people and smashed his desk.

Well, the governor of the planet is full of food and has nothing to do all day long, what has become of such a large nest!Today, my cat car will depose you, a traitor, for the emperor.

Originally, the governor of the planet thought that he was stealing and selling the empire's property at work, and that he was doing Slaanesh in his life, and his thoughts were all Tzeentch's thinking. Today, he will go to the execution ground to get that shot.

It turned out that the Lord Regent was complaining that he was not good for the management of the Hive City, the Governor Humphrey Appleby was relieved, and sat in his chair very calmly and said to the furious cat car.

"Dear Regent, I have successfully ruled this imperial world. I think both the Imperial Military Affairs Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will agree with this. After all, Necromunda pays enough taxes every year."

Governor Humphrey sat gracefully on a chair and looked at the furious cat car in front of him.

"But under your management, this hive world is corrupt and breeding!"

Maoche wanted to slap the table again to gain his reputation, but he shattered the table just now, so there was obviously no need to slap it now.

"His Royal Highness the Regent."

Governor Humphrey wanted to stand up and give a speech on how to run hive worlds, but after seeing the murderous troops behind the cat car, he very wisely abandoned this idea and continued to sit in his chair.

"The hive capital world you envisioned, is it like the barracks of the Star Militia Army, where everyone orders and prohibits, and like a naval warship, is everything in order? No way? No way?"

"As a governor, shouldn't you do this!"

"In fact, no one can do this. Respected Prince Regent, my order is only valid in this Governor's Mansion. I can order to adjust the proportion of tax collection for this year's hive capital, order to abolish or create a new area, or Send troops to wipe out the insurgents, but that's all I can do."

"You are the governor of this hive world! The entire hive world is under your rule!"

"But I can only be responsible for everything in the Governor's Mansion, Your Highness."

Governor Humphrey made a gesture of picking up something from the wreckage of his desk, and after getting permission, he picked up a document from a pile of wood fragments and handed it to the cat cart.

"This is the budget for the entire Hive City this year. You can see that after paying the [-]th tax, most of our budget has been invested in the construction of the local defense force, and the expansion of the Hive City by the Mechanicus and the improvement of those ancient equipment. During maintenance, the former can prevent the rebellion from happening and suppress the rebellion after the rebellion occurs, and the latter can keep the hive constantly expanding so that it can accommodate more residents. From the results, I have done a good job.”

"So? What do you want to say with this?"

Governor Humphrey spread his hands.

"There is actually a limit to what I can do. My lord, as a governor, what I can do has come to an end."

"So you just let these guilds become corrupt and degenerate, and all the dozen or so guilds were reported to have discovered heresy?"

"Unfortunately, Your Highness, these guilds are not the administrative agencies of the empire, but franchise organizations. We can only rely on the existence of these guilds to maintain the operation of the hive capital. As I said just now, we are in After devoting the budget to the defense force and hive maintenance, we no longer have the extra funds to maintain the operations of these institutions, such as the water and air guilds."

"If we do that, we will need to expand a large number of office positions and subsidize these departments, which will lead to financial difficulties in the hive capital. ;9&80/2 Difficult, the only option is to contract these departments to businessmen, and now after outsourcing these businesses, they will pay enough taxes to the Governor's Palace on time, of course we don't care about these outstanding citizens of the empire who pay taxes on time It will disrupt their normal production and business activities."

Humphrey picked up another document from the ground and handed it to the cat car. The document was a report from the middle-level agents sent by the Governor's Mansion on the Escher family and the Goliath family. .

"In fact, as the hive capital government, all I can guarantee is the safety and stability of the upper hive and most of the middle hive. I can only make those guilds go too far. In fact, we can't completely control even the middle hive. The actual operation of the capital is controlled by these gangs. Almost all workers, miners, and pharmacists belong to these gangs. As a governor, what I can do is to tax them and keep them humble to the empire, more I can't do it, or most governors can't do it."

Looking at the parchment report in his hand, Maoche felt that his voltage was starting to become unstable, and the paint that had just been sprayed on the top armor began to show signs of peeling off.

According to the report, at the lower level of the hive capital at this moment, these imperial citizens are killing each other in an organized and planned manner, and have invested in heavy weapons including plasma weapons. The current casualties have exceeded five digits and are climbing to six digits. The purpose of the war is to gain control of a factory in Middlenest.

"So, your rule is to rule by doing nothing?"

"Yes, Your Highness, as long as the taxes are normal, they will not interfere with their activities if they do not intend to betray the Governor-General."

Humphrey, who was sitting on the chair, nodded slightly to the cat cart.

Chapter 432 416 Cat Car: No one knows Hive City better than me

"I understand."

Maoche threw the document in his hand back on the ground, looked at Humphrey and said.

"Do you think that as long as the tax can be raised and the mud legs below don't rebel, the rule will be considered successful?"

"That's right, Your Highness, this is the most stable way of ruling."

The viewfinder behind the glass panel of the cat car flashed a red light, and then waved in the direction of the office door.

"If that's the case, you can get out! The empire doesn't need mediocre people like you."

"Goodbye, Your Highness."

Humphrey slipped out of his office very smoothly, but at the door of the office Humphrey was picked up by a guard like he was catching a chick.

"I'm telling you, go hang it on the street lamp!"

After waving his hand to signal the imperial guards to pick a better street light, the cat cart walked to the large floor-to-ceiling windows of Humphrey's office, watching countless airdrop pods and shuttles dragging long flames from the sky like a meteor shower, piercing through the sky. The iron curtain-like black clouds under the Cat Cart's feet, through the short-lived hole in the clouds, the Cat Cart saw the dirty and riddled land at the bottom of the Hive Capital.

"I only know that the administration of the empire is inefficient, but I didn't expect the administration of the empire to be so inefficient. The bottom of the hive capital is actually ruled by gangsters. The governor only pays taxes and ignores everything else. All the livelihood facilities and industrial departments are all outsourced, and don't even care if it's a heretic who controls these departments."

Maoche turned around and looked at the Imperial Army and Spartan soldiers behind him, and a red light glowed in the glass panel.

"With such insects, how can we build a good empire!"

The roar of the cat carriage resounded throughout the Governor's Mansion.

After roaring, Cat Che began to think about what he could do and what he should do.

But no matter how you do it, it is definitely better than continuing the current management policy of doing nothing. The current management method is simply a joke in the world. It is the interstellar era. Please at least engage in capitalism. Feudal taxation The system is really backward.

After thinking about it, Maoche made a decision. Regardless of how many people there are, anyway, there are all kinds of talents in the expeditionary force, so let the Rebellion Society draw up a list of suspected heretics first.

Then, while the Space Marines and the Sisters of War troop were clearing out the criminals and alien creatures in the lower nest, the cat car asked the governor's secretary, who was silent outside the door, to prepare the broadcast for himself, and he was going to give a global speech.

5 minutes later, when the broadcast equipment was ready, Maoche started his global broadcast, the content of which was very simple.

Before zero o'clock tomorrow, Terra standard time, all gang forces in the hive must be disbanded in situ. Anyone who violates the laws of the empire and surrenders to the legal department of the empire before then will receive a reduced sentence. After that, all gangs will be recognized as illegal organizations, and the Regent of the Empire will wield an iron fist to sanction all moths of the Empire.

Of course, Mao Che knows that although the fight between these gangs makes him very unhappy, a lot of life and resources are wasted in meaningless internal frictions like gang wars, and corruption and waste are the biggest crimes.

However, the condition for the formation of these gangs is the lack of administrative power in the empire itself at the grassroots level. Only in this kind of management vacancy will there be gangs, so just killing all the gangs will not solve the problem.

Otherwise, kill a Goliath gang today, and there will be a King David gang tomorrow, and it's just a waste of money and explosives.

Speaking of administrative management... Maoche scratched the top armor, why not let the 2.7 version of the Shinra war nun do this job?The efficient administration of Gestalt society is much higher than the current tax system.

First use the Shinra War Sisters to set up the shelf of the administrative team, and then train local residents to gradually take over the management positions. Although it may take dozens or even hundreds of years, things always have to be done.

Speaking of which, this is still to wipe the ass of the problems left by the Emperor during the Great Crusade. The Great Crusade was just a hurricane all the way, but it didn’t even do infrastructure construction, and only lost a Ministry of Justice to prevent rebellion after conquering a planet. , and then the behavior pattern of collecting ten taxes still wants to promote the truth of the empire?

Even if you think about it, you know it's impossible... It can only be said that the current situation of the empire is full of wars, although the empire's territory is too large, but this also has something to do with the fact that the pace was too big.

Soon there was a prototype of a plan in Maoche's mind. Anyway, now that I have more people, more guns, more money, and the title of regent king, let's use Necromonda as a pilot first. If it is useful, I will A little bit of promotion is also to give the other governors a little time to prepare. Don't give in a blank paper like Humphrey and force yourself to hang him as a street lamp.
