Chapter 230 Information of the High Lord
After Fu Qinghai arrived at the spaceport, the first thing he had to do was to hand over the design blueprints of one of the STCs to Mars, a giant mining excavator, in exchange for Mars' full support for Phaeton Forge World.

Phaeton needs technical talent.From the most basic craftsman, to various professional monks: Silv machine monk, communication machine monk, runic machine monk, and of course the famous electric monk.

Phaeton needs instrumentation.Various forges and workshops are needed, cloning factories and biochemical cultivation cabins are needed, promethium refining factories and promethium transfer extractors are needed.

These need to be provided by Mars.

Although there will still be a large number of old disciples belonging to Master Kunto who will follow Fu Qinghai's fleet to the Phaeton Forge World, but this manpower is far from enough compared to the Forge World that was looted by traitors.

Most of the STCs can be replicated after being thoroughly researched by the engine oil guys. The STCs discovered by archeology in a certain place can soon be extended to many foundry worlds with production conditions. As the birthplace of the Mechanicus, Mars has the entire world Most of the most complete STCs in the Galaxy are excavated by Mars itself, and there are also many tributes like Phaeton.

Since Fu Qinghai and Master Kunto need the assistance of Mars, they can't dream of monopolizing food alone.

The data stack storing the design blueprint of the "giant mining excavator" fully filled the engine room of the Thunderhawk gunboat. Fu Qinghai personally escorted the precious design blueprint to the city of Skaharax—the Mechanics in Terra enclave.

Although I didn't see the foundry leader himself, I got the promise from the foundry leader relayed by others:

Mars will fully support the development of Phaeton and send everything needed to this former frontier advance base.

……

Jaghatai Khan also returned to Terra not long ago.

Fu Qinghai went to see him immediately.

But he was told that the Great Khan had entered the palace to attend the meeting.

Fu Qinghai flinched.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

On the flagship of the Great Khan, he pestered Ilia Raval all day long, pouring out bitterness, telling how difficult it was for his brotherhood of Shenji, how it was not enough, how scarce it was.

But Ilia Lavale brought Fu Qinghai another news, news from Mars:
"Qingshan, on our way back to Terra, we received a certification document from Mars to the Legion. They recognized your outstanding technical level and firm belief in the God of Myriad Machines, and your title was promoted to 'Casting Grandmaster'."

Oh?
Fu Qinghai didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Master Forge is the advanced title of Tech Sergeant, the best and leader of Tech Sergeants, chief engineer and top weaponsmith in the Astartes.

In terms of technical level, Fu Qinghai thinks that he can be called a "casting master" long ago. In terms of belief in Mechanism, emmm... I can only say that everyone has different understandings of Om Messiah.

But different routes lead to the same goal!
Elijah Lavale says:

"Congratulations, Qingshan, I can tell you clearly that there is one and only one of the fifth legion's existing casting masters, and your status is special."

Fu Qinghai hit the snake with a stick:

"Then can I request to increase the supply of gene seeds?"

Elijah Lavale: "..."

In the end, Ilia's answer to Fu Qinghai was: Wait until the Primarch meeting is over before making a conclusion.

……

Fu Qinghai nestled in his captain's cabin every day, patiently waiting for the results of the Primarch's meeting.

This kind of major event involving the future military planning of the empire, this kind of earth-shaking and huge change, of course, is not something that a small Astartes company commander like him can intervene in. A bit of whining to express dissatisfaction, but for now, he just has to wait.

According to the information of later generations, Fu Qinghai knew that at least two of the Primarchs who attended the meeting clearly expressed their opposition to the "Astarte Codex" and firmly disagreed with the splitting of the Legion.

Leman Russ of the Space Wolves, the Sixth Legion insisted on not splitting up until the end, but changed its name to "Space Wolves".However, in later generations, the sons of Russ figured it out again, and tried to set up a subgroup—the Wolf Brothers Chapter. As a result, the gene seeds mutated severely and had to be disbanded.The spiral of wolves is indeed too special, and the wolf group has never tried to form a sub-group since then.

Roger Dorn of the Fist of the Empire, the Seventh Legion was also firmly opposed to splitting the Legion at first. It is said that because of this, he and the Ultramarines were at loggerheads at one point, but in the end Dorn still compromised. He felt that the damage caused by the Great Rebellion to the Empire was enough. Deep, I don't want to fall out with Robert Guilliman again because of this kind of thing.

On the contrary, Jaghatai Khan did not express any objection to the second army building, and the White Scars successfully completed the split of the army.

There are traditional factors in it.

The Fifth Legion, positioned by scouts, has always been the most dispersed legion deployed in the entire empire in the past. It is not one of them. The Nayan Khans of the various brotherhoods have long been accustomed to leading troops alone and do not rely on the unified command of the Primarch. In fact, there is not much difference whether to split or not, just change the name.

Before the promulgation of the Codex Astartes, it is meaningless to discuss the formation of a Space Marine Legion.

Each Primarch builds a legion according to his own ideas. In fact, strictly speaking, only the Ultramarines used the "company" and "warband" in the 30K period. It can be seen that Robert Guilliman compiled the St. When making codes, first refer to your own legion.

And other legions, the "Dalian" of the Space Wolves, the "Big Camp" of the Iron Warriors, the "Horde" of the White Scars, the "Clan" of the Iron Hands, the "School" of the Thousand Sons... It is difficult to describe these strange things in detail How many interstellar warriors are included under the name of the organization, and even the more exaggerated ones like the White Scars are also "Brotherhood" or "Tribe", and the number of people included is quite different.

In the early years, the Ministry of Military Affairs hated Bai Scar deeply.

Before Ilia Lavale was transferred to the Fifth Legion, things like this often happened: the battle situation in a certain star area was tight, and the Ultramarines called for reinforcements. support in the past.As a result, when I arrived, I found that the ammunition supplies I prepared according to a standard company were not enough at all, and the number of White Scars was overstaffed.Or after being dispatched, it was discovered that the number of the White Scars Company was too small, and it was not enough to support the theater.

Fu Qinghai himself is a member of the White Scars, and sometimes he has to admit: this is a somewhat casual army.

After the promulgation of the "Astartes Codex", the size, organization, and personnel composition of the battle group were strictly delineated. The pharmacist, a few technical sergeants, and even how the Astartes should fight and what tactics they should adopt in the face of different situations are clearly written.

As a person who knows the future of reincarnation, Fu Qinghai knows that the promulgation of the holy scriptures is inevitable and cannot be changed.

And as an interstellar warrior with white scars, Fu Qinghai wants to say: This "Astarte Codex" is bullshit!

Sun Wu, a famous military strategist in the Earth-0.5K era, said in his book "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Fiction and Reality":

"Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent."

"The one who can win due to the change of the enemy is called a god."

The White Scars are famous for their flexible strategies and tactics when they use troops to fight. The military regulations that strictly adhere to a certain method of combat like the Holy Code are really very characteristic of Warhammer 40K, and they are exactly the same as the stereotypes and bad habits that the Mechanicus abides by.

But Fu Qinghai knew that it was useless to object, not to mention his own objection, even the primarch's objection was useless.

This is not only the personal will of Robert Guilliman, but also represents the collective will of all soldiers and civilians in the entire empire - to weaken the Astartes.

Don't let these guys rebel easily.

Although the Thirteenth Lord was the regent chosen by the emperor and the horse on his deathbed, the title of "regent" alone was not enough to convince the stubborn and conceited Primarch.

After the emperor got into the underground laboratory of the palace, Malcador was the first regent appointed by the emperor. At that time, there was no "council of high lords", only the "council of Terra". The handprinter yelled, when did he take this "regent" seriously.

The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the reason why the second army building can be implemented smoothly is that this event complied with the general trend of the world after the Great Rebellion, and also catered to the emperor's last wish - to let mortals rule their own country, and Not for the Astartes to rule over mortals.

Fu Qinghai believes that the significance of the second army building is not in how many Astartes battle groups have been split up—it is not clear how many are counted by later generations.Rather, the era when the Astartes were the main military force of the human empire has completely turned the page.

In the past, the era when the Astartes Legion was the commander-in-chief, with the Titan Legion, the Cybertron Legion, the Space Fleet, and the Mortal Auxiliary Army, is gone forever.

The Mortal Auxiliary Army was reorganized into the "Imperial Guard", and the Space Fleet was reorganized into the "Imperial Navy".

The number of battle groups limited the Astartes to cooperate with the Imperial Guard when they fought large-scale ground battles, and could only serve as an auxiliary force of the Imperial Guard.

However, the limitation of ship tonnage and function - battle barges and strike cruisers, made Astartes basically unable to fight large-scale space naval battles, and could only be handed over to the Imperial Navy to fight.

Of course, if dozens of battle groups are gathered together, the above-mentioned problems will no longer exist, but there is only friendship between the sub-group and the parent group, and there is no command relationship between superiors and subordinates. What about the wargroup unified under their own command?

Having said that, on the other hand.

The rules are dead, but people are alive. There are policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom. There are always people who have various ways to bypass the scriptures and build their own battle groups. Therefore, there is another saying in later generations: those who abide by the scriptures are called " Holy Order".

The Ultramarines subgroups are basically Codex Chapters.

Those who do not obey the scriptures are called "all strong" (false).

……

Fu Qinghai was wondering whether the Primarchs in the Terra Palace were arguing fiercely with each other, or whether they were sarcasm and ridicule.

Sitting in the swivel seat and turning around, Fu Qinghai's thoughts diverged, and he couldn't help but think again:

By the way, do the Primarchs swear when they quarrel?

If so, do they speak High Gothic or the dialect of their mother planet?

At this time, the communicator vibrated and Fu Qinghai connected.

Not Eugene, but Zhang Yuning, she said:
"Qingshan, there is a reincarnation who wants to see you."

"who?"

"It looks like an ordinary person."

"Is my dignified company commander an ordinary person who can see him whenever he wants?"

"He said his father was a high lord."

"...bring it to the captain's cabin."

……

Fu Qinghai made no secret of his scrutiny, looking up and down at the young man sitting in front of him.

The straight and elegant red dress, the tall crown, the pointed shoes, and the lower end of the placket are pointed and saw-toothed.The luster and vibrant hues of a fabric are in the same vein as the stained glass in Gothic cathedrals.

"You want to join my company?"

Fu Qinghai repeated this request again.

"Yes, Khan."

The young man nodded solemnly and said:
"I know there is a harsh process for the selection of space fighters, but I promise to complete the test you set for me!"

Fu Qinghai couldn't help laughing.

Inexplicably, this was Fu Qinghai's first thought.

Why? This was Fu Qinghai's second thought.

It's not that Fu Qinghai has never considered recruiting soldiers in the Throne World. Anyway, the Brotherhood of Gods is not full yet, and there is no fixed conscription world.

But he definitely didn't consider reincarnation as a candidate for recruits.

The reincarnation is in the Warhammer 40K universe today, and tomorrow it will be in another universe. Even if the anchor of the world is dropped, the old man Hu Xian has already said that the anchor of the world can be exchanged for multiple, and the anchor world can be modified repeatedly, but it is not dead of.

Spend my resources, transform you into an interstellar soldier for free, train you for free, teach you and cultivate you, and then tomorrow you will go to other reincarnation worlds to be beautiful... What am I planning?

Camille was considered a technology investor, just in time for Fu Qinghai's shortage of people. He also proved himself with superb medical technology, and dropped the anchor of the world in the Warhammer 40K universe.But whether it was Camille or No. 56, Fu Qinghai had no plans to absorb them into the club for the time being, but just added a friend.

Even if the identity of the reincarnation is not considered, Fu Qinghai's identity as the heir of the high lord will not impress Fu Qinghai. On the contrary, Fu Qinghai does not want to have anything to do with the political arena of Terra for the time being, and his future battle group will not be like the Tauren war group , became a lackey of the High Lords Council.

"What's your name?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

"Lin Yu, Shuangmu Lin, Yu of the universe, Khan."

replied the young man.

His expression was full of expectation, and his words were very sincere.

"You said your father is the Minister of Justice. I inquired about it. The current Minister of Justice is called Cornelius Bach. His surname is not Lin."

Fu Qinghai said.

Of course, the human empire has a Chinese surname, whether it is Terra or Chogris.

The largest family of rogue traders in the Misty Star Territory originated from the "Macau family" in the Asia region of Terra. The patriarch is the famous Ms. Sun Li, with a standard Chinese surname.

However, as can be seen from the name of the current Minister of Justice, he is obviously not from a wealthy Asian family in Terra.

"This is my real name. The name given to me by the world of reincarnation is 'Clifford Bach'."

The young man explained.

Although he had already labeled the young man in front of him as "the stupid son of the landlord's family" in his heart, Fu Qinghai couldn't help asking:

"How did you know that I am also a reincarnation?"

Fu Qinghai thought that he was not well-known in the empire.

"I happened to see your battle report on my dad's desk once, Khan. 'Using psionic means similar to temporary star gates, sunk an Emperor's Children's Underworld-class heavy cruiser'. I saw From this description, we know that it must be the magic of the reincarnation world, and no one in the Warhammer 40K universe has demonstrated similar psychic means."

Um! ?

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes instantly.

The idiot son of the landlord's family is quite knowledgeable, but he feels that he has no city, and he shakes out the reason with a single mouth.

But it wasn't this that shocked Fu Qinghai.

But...

I didn't report the results of the fleet to the Ministry of Military Affairs at all!
A light cruiser, sinking a heavy cruiser and another light cruiser sounds like a feat indeed.

But Fu Qinghai couldn't explain Chen Xinlu's existence at all.

This illegal psyker with a wanted criminal record was once hunted down by the Planetary Garrison and the Black Ship Fleet. Who knew if she was on the blacklist of the Ministry of Justice.

If you don't mention Chen Xinlu, how do you explain the fact that a Forcible-class system-controlled cruiser destroyed an Underworld-class heavy cruiser?It doesn't make sense at all.

As for using the space station to ambush the Mandeville point ahead of time, hitting and sinking the provocative-class light cruiser of the Thousand Sons Legion, that also involves dealing with the Slaanesh demon. I don't want to provoke the lunatics of the Demon Tribunal. Fu Qinghai did not report the principle.

As long as you can earn assimilation points, as for military achievements?
It's never too late to earn again.

Therefore, Fu Qinghai's real reported results are only as follows: he captured the STC in the feudal world, annihilated half of the Iron Warriors company, repelled the encirclement and suppression of the orc fleet, and successfully completed the escort mission.

"Tsk..."

Fu Qinghai frowned and fell into deep thought.

The battle results that he did not report, but appeared on the desk of the high lord?
Why is there such a situation.

The reason is not difficult to guess.

There are spies planted by Terra in the fleet!
Fu Qinghai suddenly regretted leaving No. 56 in the Nest Capital World of Schwerin.

If the chief intelligence officer was present at this moment, perhaps he could screen out the two or five youngsters hiding in the fleet.

Fu Qinghai changed his perfunctory attitude before, and suddenly felt that the landlord's stupid son was still worth something, so he asked in a deep voice:

"As the son of the Minister of Justice, you have a bright future, why do you have to be a space soldier?"

Lin Yu said:

"My dad is only the spokesperson of the Ministry of Justice, not the emperor of the Ministry of Justice. What's more, he has more than 50 sons recognized by the family, plus more than 100 daughters, let alone illegitimate children."

Lin Yu shrugged:

"I also relied on a bottle of old Moutai assimilated from the last reincarnation world to make him a little closer to me and get a chance to enter his study. Otherwise, I would not know these inside information."

Even so, Fu Qinghai still feels that the arrangement of the reincarnation world is very unfair. Why should I be an orphan in a remote colonial base, and he is the son of the capital's Minister of Justice at the beginning?
Fu Qinghai expressed his opinion.

Lin Yu said:

"What's the matter? Have you ever been to the Marvel universe? Some people are born with an X gene. As long as it is activated, they can become mutants. This is not much more powerful than the flashy son of the high lord. Who can argue with it? ?”

Fu Qinghai thought it was true.

The world of reincarnation has never said that it must follow a certain fair mechanism. This is because the players of the game are not people playing the game, and the reincarnation people are just trying to survive at the mercy of others.

Those players in the reincarnation forum who demand fairness and justice in the reincarnation world, how many of them are a bit seriously ill, you come to the reincarnation world to find things that don't exist in the real world?

The 12-member high lord council of the empire does not represent the twelve most powerful nobles, but representatives collectively elected by the twelve huge forces. For example, they belong to the high lords like the "Minister of Justice" The "navigator ambassador" of the permanent seat of the parliament is not held by the most powerful navigator family. Sometimes small families will take turns to sit on the throne, and they actually act as the spokespersons of all the navigator families in the empire.

In other words, Lin Yu's father is more of an official representative elected by the huge bureaucratic group of the Ministry of Justice. Of course, in terms of power, he is also the number one judge in the empire.

Regardless of the issue of fairness and injustice, what Fu Qinghai is thinking about now is, which department of the empire planted spies in its fleet?In other words, who is the real source of the information in Lin Yu's father's hands?

The current Ministry of Justice generally governs the interior of the planet, that is, the criminal investigation of the local administration. It should not be able to reach the navy fleet, and they have no power to enforce the law against the space fighters.

The Ministry of Justice of the later generations is the front line force to fight against gene stealers and chaos heretics in the empire. Not to mention the bailiffs of the hive capital, they even have their own warships.

Inquisition?
If it was the trial court, how could the trial court endure what Fu Qinghai did?He brought people to knock on the door a long time ago.

Assassins?
It's possible, if it's the Assassin Court, it's not in a hurry to assassinate for a while. The problem is that the strengthened assassins of the Assassin Court are not casually wholesale Chinese cabbage on the street. How can my little company commander He De let the Assassin Court pay attention to him?
Fu Qinghai looked at Lin Yu and said seriously:
"Get the original copy of the information in your father's hand, or find out who provided the information to your father, and I can consider recruiting you into the army."

The stupid son of the landlord's family obviously regarded this as Fu Qinghai's test for him, and said excitedly but rationally:

"Yes! But Khan, I'm just a powerless dude. I'm not a professional spy. You have to help me a little."

Fu Qinghai thought so, so he turned on the communicator:
"Chen Xinlu, come to the captain's room."

Sister Bingshan quickly came to the captain's room.

Fu Qinghai felt that she had deliberately dressed up.

Fu Qinghai didn't think much, and said to her seriously:
"Can Muggles use the retractable ears and looking glass you got from JK Rowling's universe?"

Chen Xinlu replied:
"Extensible ears are fine, but speculums are not."

"Then lend me the retractable ear."

Chen Xinlu hesitated for a moment, but honestly took out the magic item from her pocket and handed it to Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai handed it over to Lin Yu and said:

"I hope to get the results before the Primarch meeting ends."

Lin Yu took the retractable ear, flushed with excitement, and said:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
