- Chapter 464 - Savior: There are bad guys inside our Holy Terra!
Ron was full of anger.
During this period of time, those opponents have frequently assassinated and spread rumors to discredit him.
Now they want to destroy the foundation of his rule and completely destroy the reform plan.
This is unbearable for him.
For the sake of profit, those corrupt guys not only hindered the personal progress of the savior, but also hindered the development and progress of mankind.
They must be judged.
Since the opponents are sure that they dare not bloodbath Holy Terra, then I will do the opposite.
Completely shatter their fantasies.
Ron told Guilliman about his plan and his determination to promote reform. The human empire cannot stop its pace towards prosperity.
In the end, he temporarily persuaded the imperial regent.
“I agree with your plan and give you some help, but I will not declare my participation in this coup.”
Guilliman said after hesitating.
He added: “If the situation reaches an irreversible point, I will come out to stop you to maintain the stability of the empire.”
“It’s enough for you to support it secretly.”
Ron nodded with satisfaction.
He understood Guilliman’s concerns. The Empire was now relatively fragile, and any reform was extremely dangerous.
Although Guilliman was reckless in battle, he was extremely stable in politics.
It was good enough that he could support him to this point.
Such a coup struggle was extremely dangerous. If he, the savior, failed, the Imperial Regent could still come out to save the situation.
It was not so bad that both Primarchs fell out with the Imperial high-level officials.
The Imperial high-level officials were not just simple politicians. Each of them had vast territories and huge private armies, and many vassal forces.
They were equivalent to big warlords.
In the absence of the Emperor, the Empire was equivalent to an alliance of warlord forces, united under the double-headed eagle of the Human Empire.
In fact, each high lord had the power of autonomy, and many things had to be discussed.
Even the Imperial Regent could hardly make them completely obey and devote everything.
Ron became more and more aware.
The extreme political system of the Human Empire was actually a parliamentary system in its bones, and the Supreme Lords’ Council was equivalent to a simplified version of the Congress.
If the high lords representing the Congress are all against it, even the Imperial Regent will find it difficult to exercise power.
This is why Guilliman tried hard to win the support of the high lords.
Now, the high lords and the high-level officials have generally shown resistance to the reform, and even the Imperial Regent has no power to speak.
This is Guilliman’s real concern.
If the two primarchs fall out with the high-level officials of the Empire, it will cause unimaginable divisions and even lead to endless civil wars.
We can’t conquer it again like the Emperor’s Great Crusade, right?
That will only give heretics and aliens an opportunity to take advantage.
Therefore, it is a good result for Guilliman, the Imperial Regent, to maintain neutrality on the surface.
Once the reform of the savior fails, the Imperial Regent can stand up to reorganize the situation in Holy Terra, stabilize people’s hearts, and maintain the unity of the various forces in the Empire.
And his position will be more stable and he will be able to exercise more power.
It can also prevent the outbreak of a complete war between the Empire and the Savior’s territory.
This is equivalent to a double insurance.
Let him be more free to organize coups and reforms.
Of course, Ron still hopes that Old Ji can charge with him, so that the chances of winning will be greater.
Because if he fails, he will have to run back to the Savior’s territory in disgrace.
But that is impossible.
Imperial Regent Guilliman has independent will and political ideas, and is not his vassal, so he can’t ask him for more.
“Then let’s do it!”
After Ron finished discussing with Old Ji, he immediately pulled up his pants and left, returning to his temporary sanctuary.
He originally planned to wait until the victory celebration was over before launching a coup.
Now it seems that time is too late.
Once the wave of opposition surges, he will lose the opportunity and even the foundation of his rule.
Unless he wants the galaxy to burn.
The arrow is on the string, it must be fired, and it must be started immediately!
——
Temporary Savior Sanctuary.
In the air of the hall, a virtual map of Holy Terra was projected, with many defense facility data marked on it.
Unfortunately, many places are still blank.
Especially the garrisons of the various departments and forces of the empire, they have been operating in the throne world for countless centuries, and I don’t know how many secret armaments they have carried out.
It is even more difficult for outsiders to detect.
But it is predictable that the various departments and forces have huge armed forces in their garrisons.
Ron held a meeting with think tank members such as Taco to adjust the plan and further analyze the situation and troop deployment.
But the results are not very optimistic.
“Our military force is still too small…”
Ron rubbed his brows and sighed deeply: “Can you transport more troops in?”
“This is already the limit.”
Taco shook his head: “According to the current defense rules of Holy Terra, we can’t import more troops unless we can break through Lion Gate Airport.”
“Forget it.”
Ron shook his head and gave up this idea. Lion Gate Airport is the most tightly defended place in Holy Terra or the galaxy.
Even if the Savior Territory dispatched a fleet to attack, it would take a lot of time. By then, the surrounding guard fleets would have already rushed to the king.
I was just launching a surprise coup and massacring a group of people, not launching a full-scale civil war.
It’s not worth it.
Due to the unremitting efforts of predecessors such as Horus, the defense system of Holy Terra has been further upgraded, and there are strict rules.
In the absence of a full-scale crisis, foreign troops are not allowed to enter Holy Terra at all.
This is an inevitable result.
After all, Holy Terra is the heart of the human empire. If the defense system is not tight enough.
Then mankind would have been finished long ago.
Fortunately, I can still transport a group of troops to participate in the parade in the name of celebration, otherwise I will be a commander without troops.
“Let me think about it again.”
Ron flipped through the information in front of him.
It was a rough list of the armed forces of Holy Terra, and some forces that could be won over were also marked.
I launched a coup in advance, and many plans became much more hasty, and even some arrangements could not be implemented in time.
But that is also normal.
The situation is changing rapidly, and we must seize the opportunity.
We are in a hurry, and the opposition is probably not much better. It depends on who is more prepared.
The most powerful armed force in Holy Terra is the Imperial Guard.
They have 10,000 top-level genetically modified warriors, equipped with powerful weapons, and even many Holy Titans.
If I can win over and command these 10,000 Imperial Guards, it will basically be stable.
Unfortunately, they can’t participate in this coup.
Ron had already contacted the new commander of the Imperial Guard, Lysias, hoping that he could send troops to assist him.
But he was rejected.
Because it does not comply with the internal laws of the Imperial Guard.
The Imperial Guard is an uncontrolled existence and cannot directly participate in political struggles unless Holy Terra or the palace is in a comprehensive crisis.
It can even be said that their mission is to guard the palace and protect the Golden Throne.
Even if they take a step back, the Imperial Guard will be dispatched.
That might also be to deal with the Savior, the Primarch of Hope, who launched a coup and attempted to overthrow the political system left by the Emperor.
But given the relationship between the Savior and the Emperor, the Imperial Guards had no intention of being hostile to him.
This was already a rare support.
“Sir Savior, I can only guarantee that the Imperial Guards will not step out of the palace during this period.”
Lysias said quite sincerely: “In any case, you are the closest friend of the Imperial Guards, not the enemy.”
The commander of the Imperial Guards did not firmly refuse, and added: “If you can obtain the oracle of His Majesty the Emperor, I and the Imperial Guards will obey your orders.”
Once the Emperor speaks, give the Savior complete command.
That’s what he has the final say.
Unfortunately, after burning the Garden of Nurgle, the Emperor, I don’t know if he was tired or influenced by his faith.
He fell into a deep sleep again.
Ron could come with a few psychic big guys, presumptuously wake him up and ask him what he thinks.
Let him give him the command of the Imperial Guards.
But he didn’t want to do it.
It’s not that he didn’t dare, but he was worried that the Emperor would oppose this coup decision.
After all, the existing political system was established by the Emperor himself, and the purpose was to maintain the stability of the Empire. It has been running smoothly until now.
No one knows whether the Emperor will accept his overly radical reforms and implement them throughout the Empire.
Ron knew that the Emperor was more likely to agree.
But what if the Emperor was confused in his sleep and felt that the risk was a bit too high and refused?
Even if his plan didn’t fail in the womb, it would become extremely difficult.
So, he decided to play it safe and wait until the situation was unfavorable before asking the Emperor for the command of the Imperial Guard.
This will lay the foundation for victory.
If everything goes well, there will be no need to create trouble and add risks.
Ron looked at the information of another armed force.
That is also a relatively powerful guard force inside Holy Terra – the Imperial Fists.
The Imperial Fists Legion under the command of the Seventh Primarch Rogal Dorn is regarded as one of the most loyal legions to the Emperor.
In the darkest hour, they maintained the unity of the Empire with amazing perseverance and protected Holy Terra, so they were also called “Terra Guards”.
And they were also the most loyal Space Marines in the Empire besides the Ultramarines.
Of course, with the return of the Savior, they could only rank third.
Today, the Imperial Fists and their sub-groups still guard Holy Terra and the defensive fortresses in various parts of the solar system, especially the Lion’s Gate Airport.
In any case, I have to win their support so as not to attract these guys’ stubborn resistance.
Ron doesn’t think that if he reveals his identity as the Primarch, Dorn’s fists and grandsons will obey him.
Even when the Primarchs were alive, the major legions and Space Marines were constantly in friction, and no one was submissive.
What’s more, I am still making trouble in Holy Terra this time.
Fortunately, the Ultimate Primarch Guilliman has a good relationship with Dorn, and I should have a chance to win them over with Guilliman.
“It’s not appropriate for me to show up now, so as not to arouse vigilance.”
Ron took out his emblem and the imperial regent’s warrant and handed them to Taco:
“Send the right people to contact the Imperial Fists’ leaders in Holy Terra, try to win them over, and at worst, ask them to cooperate with the action.
Instead of attacking us.”
He really didn’t want to fight these loyal warriors, nor did he want them to die in such an incident.
“I’ll take care of this matter.”
Taco took the badge and the warrant and answered cautiously.
“By the way.”
Ron thought of something and added: “Tell the Imperial Fists that their genetic father Rogal Dorn is not dead yet.
The Savior has grasped the clues and can find their father.
After this incident, the Savior Territory will support them with more weapons and equipment, including the Redemption Titan.”
If you want to win people over, you still have to paint a big picture.
He believed that was the thing that the Imperial Fists cared about the most, almost nothing else.
Ron did not completely deceive the Imperial Fists.
It is indeed possible that Rogal Dorn was not dead, but lost in a certain area, and he also grasped some obscure clues.
As for when he can be found, who knows.
Anyway, he promised, let’s win people over first.
With his own pie and the implicit support of the Imperial Regent, at least this coup will not be regarded as a rebellion by the Imperial Fists, but an internal power struggle.
Moreover, he did not ask the Imperial Fists to send troops to fight with him in Holy Terra.
Read the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.
They only need to guard the major areas according to the regulations, especially Lions Gate Airport, and stop some opposition forces.
Afterwards, Ron unraveled the mystery and sorted out some disputes of the Holy Terra forces, and sent dozens of secret letters.
In order to win more trustworthy allies.
“Alas, this damn Holy Terra, conspiracy, intrigue, intricacy, it’s just a mess…”
Ron collapsed in the chair, exhausted.
I am used to dictatorship, and suddenly I am involved in such a complicated power dispute, which is very tiring.
I feel that my hair is going to turn white.
He finally understood why the empire was so rigid. It was too difficult to implement something here with such a broken political system.
Therefore, even if everyone knew that some rules and regulations were wrong and out of date,
As long as they did not cause great harm or great benefits, they would remain the same as they were ten thousand years ago.
After all, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and you have to fight against many disputes.
It is normal for those high lords to be tired. Isn’t it tiring to be so scheming every day?
They deserve to be tired to death!
No wonder even Lao Ji is not willing to stay in Holy Terra.
I guess he is fed up.
Fortunately, if this wave goes well, he can clear these conspiracies, intrigues, and obstacles, and slowly restore the vitality of the empire.
Instead of the half-dead appearance now.
“Savior…”
The Supreme Lord and Commander-in-Chief of the Star Army, Moore, came to meet the Savior through secret channels.
Although he had a smile on his face, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Because Holy Terra has not been peaceful recently, there are rumors that the Primarch of Hope, the Savior, wants to do what Vandir did and rule dictatorially.
Many high lords have secretly united and tried to launch a conspiracy against him.
Now the Imperial Astra Militarum is in a miserable state.
Moore has no say in the Supreme Lords Council, and even this position is the product of political compromise, with a person squeezed in to make up the numbers under the struggle of all parties.
Therefore, no one in the Council has a deep alliance with him, and he is isolated because of currying favor with the Primarch.
If it were not for the opposition of the Pope of the State Church and the Forge General of the Mechanicus, he would have stepped down from this position long ago.
Now the Primarch of Hope suddenly came to him, what it means is self-evident.
He actually doesn’t want to get involved in this dispute.
If the Primarch of Hope fails and is expelled from Holy Terra, he may also be liquidated.
But Moore still came.
In addition to being tied to the Savior and having to join, he also wants to make progress.
Because the position of the commander-in-chief of the Astra Militarum is not fixed in power, it can be small or very large.
For example, some powerful commanders of the Astra Militarum have amazing power and honor.
There is such a sentence in the secret letter sent by the Savior.
Do you want to be the Sun Lord?
Once upon a time, the Sun Lord was often concurrently held by the commander-in-chief of the Astra Militarum, which was a supreme honor.
And this position also has another title-Warmaster, who can nominally command almost all the armies of the empire.
In addition to being the commander of the solar system, he can also lead the empire’s troops to fight everywhere.
At the end of the 41st millennium of the empire, General Macharius of the Astra Militarum stood out and inherited this honorary position after the death of the previous Sun Lord.
At the twilight of the human empire, he launched an expedition.
Sun Lord Macharius led the imperial troops to conquer thousands of worlds along the way, with the sword pointing to the edge of the galaxy.
Achieved incredible glory.
In fact, he originally wanted to continue the march, but the expeditionary force that had never failed was afraid of the unknown dark lord at the edge of the galaxy, and thus wavered.
Therefore, the expedition had to end.
But on the way back, Sun Lord Macharius contracted an epidemic in a certain world and died.
Many people say there is a conspiracy, but there is no evidence.
In the end, nothing happened.
After the death of Macarius, the succeeding Sun Lords no longer achieved much glory in pioneering, but more in guarding the solar system.
Even the position itself was sealed, and the status of the Astra Militarum gradually declined.
After that, the human empire ushered in a long night.
The Astra Militarum also suffered heavy losses in difficult battles again and again, and supplies became increasingly scarce.
No one cares about the life and death of the big soldiers.
Even the most elite existence in the Astra Militarum, the Sun Auxiliary Army, has lost its original military technology and gradually declined.
Gone is the glory of the Great Crusade.
Moore hopes to change all this. The only one who can help him now is the savior.
“Moore, you are finally here!”
Ron stood up warmly to welcome the commander-in-chief of the Astra Militarum and his ally.
The Pope of the Ecclesiarchy, the Foundry General of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Astra Militarum, these three can be regarded as his die-hard allies.
That powerful statue of the Primarch of Hope was built by them.
There are thirteen seats in the Council of Supreme Lords, and it is considered good that he can win over three of the more powerful beings among them.
Wait until you have dealt with all the opposition.
The remaining centrists will naturally obey the general trend and accept all this.
There are trillions of people on Holy Terra, and it is impossible to control them just by relying on the Space Marines.
This would require garrisoning too many defensive forces, including Astra Militarum troops.
These Sun Auxiliary troops are stationed in various regions according to tradition, but I heard that the treatment is not very good and is getting worse.
The Astra Militarum did not have many resources to continue arming them, and they had to beg for food from the Ministry of the Interior.
But this group of people is already one of the few forces on Holy Terra that he can win over, apart from the Gray Knights and the National Crusaders.
Due to doctrinal issues within the state church, the nuns are not very fond of themselves.
As for the Mechanicus, they are in the process of secretly shaking people, and when the time comes, they will coordinate and exert pressure from the outside.
The Astra Militarum troops located on the surface of Holy Terra are of high quality except for a little broken equipment.
Their combined armed combat effectiveness is more reliable than that of a simple war group, and they can participate in large-scale suppression and assist the Savior Army in resisting troops from many departments and forces.
Otherwise, the Space Marines alone would not be able to cope with the situation.
Even if they stand and let you chop them down, how many people can you chop down, not to mention that the enemy may have extremely destructive high-level weapons that can destroy any armor.
“Moore…”
Ron came to the Commander-in-Chief of the Astra Militarum.
He patted him on the shoulder condescendingly: “I have a question that I need to confirm. Are you loyal?”
For the first time, Maul was so close to the original body and could feel the pressure from the original body.
He became more and more nervous, swallowed his saliva, and almost subconsciously shouted out: “Loyalty…loyalty!”
In the Empire, loyalty is a must.
Of course, there are other implications here, not just for the Emperor.
The Savior hopes that the Astra Militarum who will be quickly armed by him will be more loyal and draw six sticks in one second.
Severely suppress those disloyal beings.
“It’s good to be loyal. I’m quite loyal too.”
Ron understood and smiled gently: “Now there is a problem. There are bad people in our Holy Terra. Some people have betrayed their faith in the Emperor and are trying to collude with heretics and subvert the Empire.
Very serious.
We must strike hard and destroy all heresy and rebellion! “
“ah?”
When Moore heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He originally thought that the savior was to form a political alliance or conduct some political struggle to suppress the opposition.
I didn’t expect the other party to be so decisive.
Is it hoped that the Primarch will really imitate Vandire and carry out a bloody purge? !
He froze on the spot for a moment.
“Your Majesty, this goes against our beliefs and may be regarded as an act of rebellion…”
At some point, the Ecclesiarch, the Forge General, and more die-hard supporters of the Savior arrived.
The thousand-year-old tortoise, the state’s pope, Laurent Tissin, was a little hesitant. He didn’t like such risky behavior.
But because of his disciple Doni, he still came.
“That is a wrong idea. We are here for the Emperor and the prosperity of humanity.”
Ron stood in the center of the hall, with the virtual projection of Holy Terra reflecting on his tall body.
He looked at everyone: “And… failure will lead to rebellion, success will lead to absolute loyalty.
No? “
——
Door to eternity.
This huge sacred square is already crowded with people.
Cherubim flew in the air, and hymns dedicated to the Emperor resounded through the sky.
Amidst the undercurrent of Holy Terra, the victory celebration that attracted the attention of the empire was held as scheduled.
However, due to various rules and regulations as well as restrictions from many departments and forces, the number of celebration troops was much smaller than expected, even to the point of being shabby.
This is a humiliation.
But the Savior of Hope, the Primarch and Regent of the Empire, accepted it all in silence.
Among the people watching the ceremony, many people’s eyes flickered, showing no joy at all, but with a hint of anger.
That was dissatisfaction with the Primarch of Hope.
“This victory ceremony will become a complete joke…”
In the viewing seat of the Ministry of the Interior, Minister of the Interior Violetta looked at all this indifferently.
They have already laid out a plan, and the wave of resistance against the Primarch of Hope, the new brutal Vandir, is about to surge.
Soon.
The crowd will protest at the climax of the ceremony, telling of his many heretical and rebellious acts.
More information about the heretical behavior of the Primarch of Hope will be spread to all parts of the Empire, even to the most marginal territories.
The Primarch of Hope will be exposed in front of everyone in the Empire.
And the noble citizens of Holy Terra will completely spurn this Primarch who tried to implement a dark dictatorship!
On the other side.
Ron also looked forward to everything that was about to happen: “Wait, let you know… what loyalty is!”
