Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 465

Chapter 464: Not using all your strength? Slander!

“I don’t have the qualifications…”

After hearing Gu Hang’s words, Yan Fangxu repeated it silently in his heart, and he was actually a little excited!

Thinking back to when he was thrown off the ship by Ye Lixia and went from a “promising” Imperial Marine Corps to become a military advisor to Gu Hang, who only had a group of mechanical servants as capital at that time, he never thought that only seventeen years later, he would have won the rank of general.

This year, he just passed his 45th birthday.

Many general families with military traditions, the most outstanding young descendants, may be able to become generals in their forties, but admiral? This is already the upper limit of many top military noble families!

In the past, it might be said that the Alliance admirals like the Planetary Defense Forces can be compared with the Star Army admirals?

Now, no one has said this for a long time.

It’s hard to say, but at least in the Alliance’s one acre and three points of land, in the seven horses and 88 worlds, the Star Army generals are definitely not as good as the Alliance generals.

He had long since stopped doubting whether his original decision was correct. However, some of the concepts that had been in his mind since he grew up were always deeply rooted.

But today, Governor Gu’s words had the effect of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.

The current alliance is no longer what it was many years ago.

“I understand.” Yan Fangxu said, “Please tell me, Governor, what should we do next?”

“Whatever we should do, we will do it at our own pace. As for the small boat in orbit, let Martins take people on board to take over. I doubt their identities. The Alliance just suffered the disaster of the rebellious Space Marines two years ago. I have reason to suspect that the identities of this group of people are fake.”

“Yes!”

…

In the orbit of the Winged Star, Javier Cordoba has been very silent in the past two days.

He is not blind, he can see what the current alliance looks like.

Before coming here, he heard from the commander Erso that the Alliance did not do its best in this war.

But at that time, both he and the commander himself knew this statement very well: this is a spur, an excuse. Perhaps the Alliance really didn’t use all their strength, and their fighting style was relatively conservative, but after all, they were facing the Irontooth Clan.

In the two years of war, the Fury of Flame had personally experienced the strength of this greenskin clan. Facing such an enemy, the Alliance was able to maintain balance on the Eastern Front, and even made some progress, which was already very difficult.

Even if the Alliance didn’t use all its strength, it should be almost the same.

They didn’t really expect that a sector-level force, plus a group of Phoenixes that were almost wiped out ten years ago, could really achieve the war goals designated by Erso. The Phoenixes

said that they had recovered to a scale of 500 people, which seemed to be a lot, but that was probably because they had used up the genetic race inventory they left behind back then? And they were all new recruits, what combat effectiveness could they have? The fleet’s ships and auxiliary forces were all built in no time, and they were all from the Alliance.

Such a regiment with only 500 people was like a Space Marine without armor.

You said he was a Space Marine, and he was; but when the fight really started, he had nothing and was easily killed, and he couldn’t play the combat effectiveness he should have.

What they wanted was to force the Alliance to attack with all their strength, to tie up more greenskin forces on the eastern front, and to create opportunities for the front battlefield.

Now, to be honest, the Alliance has done a good job. Although the two sides have been fighting so fiercely on the front battlefield, the reinforcements that the greenskins have called in from their own nests have actually been lower than the strategic estimates of the human side. Of course, the insufficient parts have been made up for on the eastern front battlefield.

But Erso felt that it was not enough.

As for how much the Alliance has to pay for their orders, they don’t care. At most, they will give a painless commendation afterwards.

However, when Javier Cordoba really arrived in the territory of the Alliance, he found that something seemed to be wrong.

How could the Alliance not try its best… They didn’t use any fucking strength at all!

Although he did not land on Feiyi Star to see the capital city of the Tianma Star District, the core territory of the Alliance, on the way, when he entered the Qimadi from the Bianma Star District, he and his soldiers still took the time to land on the ground.

It doesn’t matter if they look at it, even the peripheral sphere of influence of the alliance, such as the Bian Ma Star Region, has opened their eyes.

It’s not prosperity, but the kind of vitality.

There are large-scale construction everywhere, newly expanded factories, and infrastructure invested and built for economic development…

If the former can still be understood, since there is a war on the front line, then expanding production capacity is of course necessary; even if it is not a military factory, but some basic factories and civilian factories, it can also be understood. Now it is an interstellar society, and different worlds will naturally have corresponding divisions of labor according to different world environments. Some worlds are fully engaged in industrial production, and some worlds provide civilian goods and daily necessities so that the workers in the military world can be supported…

So to speak, it is barely reasonable.

But investing in infrastructure?

At what time are you still doing this kind of thing that requires a large investment and long-term effect?

Cordoba can only use the excuse that building better roads, better water supply systems, and better power supply systems are preparations for explosive production capacity. And ignore the fact that these are not temporary measures, but are well built, as if they will be used for decades or even hundreds of years, and it would be better to use them to deal with war regardless of short-term costs.

Until he observed the living standards of the civilians in this world, he was completely shocked.

According to his observation, the life of these people was quite good, which could be regarded as a well-off level.

But what he saw was obviously just an ordinary worker, but the living standard was better than many worlds he had seen in peacetime. Even in some worlds that claim to be strong, especially some nest worlds, the lower-class residents live worse than pigs and dogs.

And the scene he saw on the new Baochen star in the Bianma star region was that the worker’s family lived well and ate well. The family went to the street to buy two new clothes on the day off – it was at this time that they were stopped by Cordoba to ask about the situation.

If they really prepare for war with all their strength, can an ordinary worker on a marginal planet in the alliance live such a life?

If the marginal world is like this, what will the core territory of the alliance look like? Cordoba dare not imagine it!

When he really entered the core territory of the alliance, his thoughts were further deepened.

Although, out of caution, he did not land on the surface of any world in the Pegasus star region, he could see many civilian ships sailing in the star tunnels and in the void within the galaxy.

The prosperity of the waterway made Cordoba unable to believe that this was a state of war.

You have so many ships, shouldn’t you pull them all to the front line to fight? Even if they are civilian ships, it would be helpful to find a way to stuff a few cannons on them!

Even if it is a giant belly with no combat capability, it should be conscripted by the government to transport supplies to the front line!

Why is the trade exchange within the star zone so developed?

Is this the look of a war?

Are you a little too careless about the war?

What do you mean by not using all your strength? That’s bullshit! Slander! This alliance didn’t use any strength at all!

This is the two-level reversal of Cordoba’s cognition of the political entity of the “Alliance”.

However, this also made him realize another problem: the Alliance, which didn’t use much strength, tied with the Iron Tooth Clan, and even had a little aggressiveness. So when they get completely serious and really launch all their war potential, how strong will their war capabilities be?

From this perspective, there is really nothing wrong with the order given by the war group leader.

Winning the Battle of Temir in two months, and breaking into the Irontooth Clan’s lair in four months… If the alliance is serious, maybe there is a chance to do it!

At this point, Cordoba can’t help but be serious.

He must re-evaluate the strength of this so-called alliance.

No, not only him, but the entire war group must re-evaluate.

But the current task has become difficult.

The reason is very simple. If the Alliance is as powerful as they imagined, everything will be easy.

Do you dare not listen?

If they disobey orders, Cordoba may not be able to deal with them, but he will declare them traitors in the name of disobeying orders, and even mobilize some forces during the war to quell the rebellion.

Moreover, there is no need to worry that the Alliance will suddenly give up and the Eastern Front will collapse. This is not a war between the same race. There is no such thing as quitting and turning against the enemy in the battle against the greenskins. The greenskins will not accept surrender.

But now, the war potential shown by the Alliance makes it impossible to do so.

You gave him the name of a traitor and then came to quell the rebellion, but he beat him up and turned around to sue the Empire, saying that you are messing around. How to deal with this?

But since strong means are useless, what about the orders given by the war group leader?

Governor Gu clearly looked like he didn’t care.

Cordoba was helpless.

But dragging it out like this is not a solution.

He didn’t even have a way to communicate directly with the Chapter Master. The astropathic equipment on his ship and the member of the Chapter Think Tank he brought with him were not able to break through the layers of obstacles in the green tide of the warp and directly contact Yunluo Star or Jindi Star, nor were they able to detour from the Donglin Star Region to the Diaocho Star Region and then return to the Dragon Eagle Star Region. The astropathic communication across three star regions was really too difficult. After two days

of hard work, Cordoba, who couldn’t think of any way, decided to withdraw.

He planned to return by the same route, at least to the Donglin Star Region, to the Donglin capital world-Sanfan Star, from where he could borrow a powerful astropathic tower to communicate with the Chapter Master.

However, just when he made up his mind, a subordinate suddenly sent a message: the Alliance military sent a message saying that they had been attacked by Space Marine traitors in the Iron Horse Star Region before, and now there is reason to doubt whether their identity is really the “friendly forces” of the Fury Chapter.

They asked to board the ship for inspection.

Cordoba was so angry that he laughed.

He was also a veteran with three gold spikes, who had fought in the star sea for more than three hundred years. In such a long time, he had never been treated like this.

Moreover, the Alliance’s request was not only humiliating, but also required deep thought.

Inspection?

I’m afraid I’ll be detained!

Without even thinking about it, Cordoba was going to reject this request.

However, before he could verbally say the words of refusal, the situation changed.

The stargazers on the ship detected the star fortress of the flying wing star and the anti-orbital guns on the ground and locked them.

Generally speaking, these interstellar firepower can hide their intentions when locking targets, and the ship he was on was also quite weak in its ability to detect firepower locks.

If the Alliance opened fire without saying hello, they would definitely be smashed into pieces in space without knowing anything.

But the Alliance did not do so. They nakedly revealed their intention to lock, which was obviously a warning: If you dare to make any unusual moves, it will be confirmed that you may be traitors.

The Alliance will definitely stick to this point afterward.

What to do?

Cordoba gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and ordered the ships to ignore these fire locks and sail away from the orbit of the Winged Star at full speed.

To put it bluntly, he had one idea: I really didn’t expect the Alliance to be so strong, but no matter how strong it is, do you really dare to use that unfounded claim to directly attack our Fury Flame Regiment?

That would change the nature of the situation!

Of course, he still made basic guarantees.

Nearly a hundred Fury Flame warriors under his command all boarded the escape pod.

If something really happened, there would be a way out.

However, something he didn’t expect came.

Indeed, the firepower on the ground and in the star fortress was not really launched. The political thinking of the Alliance would not be so reckless as to directly blow up the “friendly” ship carrying a hundred Space Marines. The impact would be too bad.

But the Alliance is not without other means.

In the flash of light, more than three hundred Space Marines in red armor came to Cordoba’s ship through the means of teleportation.

These figures once made Cordoba feel very familiar.

Back then, during the civil war in the Princess Star Region, Cordoba personally experienced and dealt with the Phoenix Regiment – real fights.

He killed three Phoenixes with his own hands.

And now, these Phoenixes are back again.

They are fully armed and aggressive.

The three leading tactical teams are even all equipped with Terminator power armor.

The two sides broke out in silence.

But basic restraint still exists.

The Phoenixes did not open fire, and the Furies did not.

They did not even use weapons such as chain saw swords. The two paint jobs were quite similar. The space warriors, one red and one orange, fought together in armor with bare hands.

When Cordoba beat down seven Phoenixes, including three Terminators, he looked around and saw that all his subordinates were lying on the ground.

At the same time, thirty people, including more than ten Terminators, surrounded him.

Cordoba’s hand once touched the power sword hanging on his waist.

But in the end, he let go.

The situation was over.

These Phoenixes were not new recruits at all!

Although it was just a bare-handed fight and no one was killed, Cordoba, an old soldier, had to admit that these Phoenixes were all capable of being formal Space Marines!
