Chapter 65, For the Emperor
Is the Chapter willing to fight for the Chapter's rebirth?
Martins didn't even have to think about this problem.
This is as it should be.
But how could he be so easily fooled by Gu Hang with just a few words?
"Of course we will fight for the rebirth of the Chapter, even if it costs our lives. However, I must confirm that our fight is indeed for the rebirth of the Chapter, not for the power of some people.
"
"The two are the same." Gu Hang said, "I will remain calm with you on this issue. Of course, everything I do will not be all for the Phoenix Chapter. I was ordered to come here when I was in danger.
The wasteland planet needs to be developed and expanded. But aren’t our goals the same?”
"I think there are three major factors for Phoenix to be rebuilt. One is manpower and material resources, which require a large number of auxiliary troops and sufficient logistical support; second, you need a battle group fleet; third, seven angels
Far from being a battle group, you need to regain your strength and replenish enough battle brothers."
"The third point, I can't help you. But the first point, the second point, as long as the Raging Owl Star grows according to my plan, it will also become your solid backing and help you solve the mortal auxiliary army.
Fleet and logistical supply issues.”
"I want to develop and expand my world, and you need a developed world to rebuild your warband. The Phoenix fights for the future of the Raging Owl, and the Raging Owl fights for the revival of the Phoenix. We
They were born to work together."
The Chapter Master is indeed not a political person, but Space Marines often don't need to think so much. Many of them have always said it bluntly: "Then why don't I choose a world that has already developed?"
Gu Hang smiled: "If you had a choice, you wouldn't come to the Raging Owl Star."
Martins had to admit that this mortal governor was right.
The Phoenix Chapter has been wandering for several months and has experienced many worlds, large and small. If they had the choice, they would have settled down long ago.
Their goal has always been to rebuild the chapter, but no one really wants to help them rebuild.
It's certainly good to have a few Space Marines as 'allies' and as thugs;
Rebuilding the Chapter? Forget it.
Maintaining a serious war group requires almost the efforts of the entire planet. A large number of troops, a large amount of logistical manpower, and starships are ridiculously expensive things.
Not to mention, the special characteristics of the Space Marines destined them to be a group of extremely independent superhuman warriors with a special status in the empire.
The Emperor's Angels of Death are not only a description of them, but also a name for their special status.
You really wasted your strength and rebuilt the regiment. When the time comes, you think you have gained a battle group to serve you, but in fact, is it the battle group or the governor who will make the decision?
In the eyes of most Space Marines, the Planetary Governor is just a mortal who provides them with supplies and manages the planet. He is nothing more than a steward. Still thinking about commanding Space Marines to go east and west? That is a dream!
No one, be it most of the Governors or the Forge Generals of the Forge World, wants to spend a long time and end up with an emperor on their head.
Most of the people Martins met along the way were like this.
He doesn't think much himself, but he can see the thoughts of others. Those hypocritical smiles and those chest-beating promises are all false in his opinion. He used reconstruction as a carrot to dangle them and make them work hard, but in the end he failed.
It's worth just kicking him away... But it's hard for a dying war group to resist a powerful governor.
When he arrived at Raging Owl, although he was disappointed with the backwardness of the entire world, to a certain extent, it was not a bad thing.
His battle group is dilapidated, with only seven warriors. But the Wrathful Star is also a shabby world. Governor Gu really needs them very much. With their help, the Governor will be able to better control the entire planet.
.And as the governor's power grows, they will also benefit from it and grow stronger.
He didn't have to worry about Gu Hang deceiving them or doing them harm. As virtuous as Governor Gu was now, no matter how weak their phoenix was, only seven of them would be able to fight back and escape unscathed.
They don't have to worry about the governor going back on his word, because by performing his duties of supporting the battle group in stages, the battle group will absorb nutrients and become stronger.
And as long as the war group can grow stronger as the governor's power grows, then in the future, even if the two sides fall out after the governor's power grows, the war group will probably already have enough strength. By then, they will have enough strength to go their separate ways.
What's the big deal about returning to the star sea and becoming a ship-based battle group?
Even in the worst situation, they can guarantee death...
Oh, no, we are a loyal group and will not do such a thing.
Looking at the serious face of Martins who seemed not to show any thoughts, Gu Hang smiled kindly and sincerely, as if he didn't care at all what Martins thought.
Martins said: "Perhaps we should grow together, you revive your world, and I revive my war group. But, how do you ensure that you can do it, so that your world can really be as you planned?
Has it developed?"
"You see, my situation may be similar to yours. You are about to perish, and if I don't achieve anything in two years, I will die. But the difference between us is that I am full of confidence in my future.
But you are confused; you don’t know how to succeed, but I do.”
"In this case, you who are confused, why not bind your fate to me."
"It won't take too long. It only takes two years and we will see the outcome."
Martins was already moved by Gu Hang's words.
If you don't know where to go, why not catch a train that knows where to go?
It is nothing more than two years. For the long-lived Space Marines, this is not a long time. They have survived the Hundred Years Atonement Crusade. It is not a big deal to squat on the Raging Star for two years and watch the time go by.
.
If Governor Gu really fails, when officials from the Imperial Administration Department decide to execute the Governor two years later, he can personally go to the Governor's aid.
Martins was already inclined to agree to cooperate with Governor Gu. He originally planned to go back and discuss with his battle brothers before giving the final answer. But at this time, he remembered Pastor Rizzo's words again.
You are the leader of the chapter, and you have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the chapter.
Then, Martins changed his mind.
He stood up and looked down at Governor Gu, who was much smaller than himself. He found that although his body completely covered the governor, he had to raise his head to see his face, which felt extremely oppressive.
Strong. But the governor's expression did not change at all.
Finally, Martins extended his huge palm to Gu Hang:
"I hope our cooperation can be blessed by the God Emperor."
The smile on Gu Hang's face became even brighter.
He stretched out his hand and shook it with the disproportionately large hand of Martins:
"For the Emperor!"
Chapter completed!
