Logistics issues in war have always been a difficulty throughout the ages, even in the interstellar age.
In ancient times, due to transportation problems, transporting food and grass to frontline troops would involve huge losses. After all, transportation troops also had to eat.
Usually, the weight must be strictly calculated for each transportation to try to reduce the loss ratio to the minimum. Only in this way can the war be guaranteed to be a loss-free business.
As for today's Imperium, because it is essentially a backward feudal Imperium regime, coupled with a larger territory and unstable transportation methods, many soldiers can only guarantee the lowest standards.
In the early stage of Great Crusade, Emperor personally led the army to fight in Solar System. At this time, because the territory was small, the supplies were sufficient.
And as the expeditionary force left Solar Segmentum, their situation was comparable to that of nomads.
Moreover, the Imperium regime in the interstellar era did not have the help of intelligent AI. It relied entirely on the calculations of each Cogitator (biochemical computer) to survive, and it was so powerful that it flew away.
Ferrus, who once served as an expedition commander, experienced that time period, and Emperor is an impatient person, often rushing to the next target as soon as he finishes conquering a planet.
Therefore, Ferrus's Iron Hands has developed a habit of killing whenever he can. If he really can't figure it out, he just throws away Exterminatus. Even if the fight starts, he won't spend as much money as Blackwatch.
The news that Emperor was preparing for another wave of large army operations was sent to Astropath of Iron Hands, and Lord of Iron's troops quickly completed their assembly.
At the same time, the Emperor's Childrens who have been fighting Iron Hands have also received orders. Their two legions will gather at Alicia and wait for further instructions from Emperor.
Not only these two Primarchs, but the Death Guards far away in Ultima Segmentum were also part of this operation, but they did not need to go to Alicia to assemble. The order they received was to rest where they were.
Such a big move cannot hide from the investigation of interested people, but with the newly formed three-seater Sanctum and Malcador, the uneasy restlessness inside Imperium can be controlled.
Relying on Blackwatch's transportation system, a small amount of Imperium's supplies were gathered by this group of Black Cans. For a time, all transport ships with Blackwatch printed on them were moving inside Imperium.
This made the already busy navigator Eldar very busy. In just a few months, Cordelia, who had already put on weight, lost a lot of weight and returned to her original slim figure.
The airport near Alicia entered extreme operation mode. A transport ship that accidentally failed to land was towed away and thrown to the satellite due to its delayed route.
Under such transportation regardless of cost, Hogg collected enough materials to equip the legion for a hundred years in just three months, and the total weight reached as much as half a moon.
In order not to affect the movement of celestial bodies in the galaxy, such a huge mass could only be dispersed among the surrounding Death World, and Dantioch, who was the royal builder of Blackwatch, almost died of exhaustion.
He commands a construction team of hundreds of thousands of people every day and builds warehouses on the surface of several planets at the same time. Such a huge amount of data manipulation caused him to burn out several Cogitator without the help of AI.
In the end, I had to call in my parent group Iron Warriors to help. After hearing the news, Perturabo directly threw a Dalian to Dantioch, and then the project was barely completed.
This is the scene that Ferrus and Fulgrim saw when they arrived at Alicia. Ships blocking the sky and blocking the sun blocked every channel. If it weren't for the coordination of Blackwatch, their fleet would not be able to get in at all.
But even so, they could only take a transport boat to pass through the densely packed ships and log in to the surface of Alicia.
However, as soon as the two Primarch got off the transport ship, they saw their legendary brother Hogg looking at them with a vulgar expression, and their originally beautiful eyes narrowed into slits.
"Hey! Aren't these my good brothers? The first time we met, you saw such a busy scene. If you had come four days later, the nearby airspace would have been cleared."
Facing Ferrus's gaze, Hogg held Fulgrim's hand, performing the image of a good brother vividly, but Ferrus, who has beast intuition, felt that something was wrong with this little dwarf.
"It's nice to meet you Hogg. I'm Fulgrim. You can also call me Fogg. The one next to you is Ferrus. It's just that he's not good at words, but he is a very good brother."
Fulgrim's etiquette was as perfect as ever, as if he was the owner here, acting as a middleman to introduce the two brothers to each other.
Perhaps it was because he felt that he and Hogg were naturally incompatible. Ferrus always felt that this little white-haired man was laughing at him, and his eyes kept staring at his neck.
Ferrus suddenly felt that his Iron Hands was a little itchy, and wanted to hit something to relieve it, but when he thought that he had never seen Hogg before, he put down his guard.
In fact, Ferrus wrongly blamed Hogg. After all, Hogg has always looked like a fool. He only looked at Ferrus's neck because he was curious about how hard Ferrus's neck was, not because he wanted to provoke him.
Looking at the weird atmosphere between the two, Fulgrim felt that he had come at the wrong time, and his future actions would definitely not go smoothly, and all he could do was to adjust their relationship as much as possible.
He let go of Hogg's hand without leaving any trace. Fulgrim sighed that his little brother was so strong that he almost couldn't let go, and he felt that Hogg was too enthusiastic.
"Brother Third Sister, come with me. I have prepared a welcome dinner for you. I heard that you like drinking, so I specially shipped a batch of good wine from Barbarus and Fenris. It is waiting for you."
After finishing speaking, Hogg took one by one and dragged the two of them into the car with his own brute force, and even thoughtfully let them sit together.
As the car moved, the three noble Primarch were taken to the banquet hall that had been arranged. The first sight when they entered the hall almost made Ferrus break through.
I saw that the supposedly solemn hall was decorated with red ribbons, and two rows of seats were arranged around it, making it look like a wedding scene.
Ferrus, who had been silent all this time, made his signature hoarse voice. He wanted to ask Hogg why he used such things to humiliate him and make him feel like he was having an affair with Fulgrim.
"Hogg, what do you mean? Do you want to see the anger of Lord of Medusa?"
"No! Brother, please listen to my explanation. This is exactly what Emperor means."
"What? What does father mean!" The two people exclaimed, obviously not believing Hogg's words, but Hogg's next explanation made them feel deeply malicious.
I would like to ask for a monthly pass, (ω)
