The Emperor’s Angel of Death

After listening to the whole process, Suoshyan was really dumbfounded. This matter is not a big deal. It is not uncommon for the Astartes to resort to force after friction. After all, they are war machines themselves, and the instinct to resolve conflicts The most direct and violent method will be used. In fact, most of the battle groups basically use violence to solve everything.

But things are by no means as simple as they seem on the surface. In fact, Soshyan had a hunch that something similar might happen a long time ago.

Because no matter it is the Legion Era or the Battle Group Era, blood is the most basic bond that maintains the relationship between the Astartes battle brothers. After the second army was established, the blood ties can be said to have become the Astartes Adeptus. the root of existence.

Just like different blood may cause rejection in the human body, if Astartes battle brothers of different bloodlines are in the same organizational framework, it will naturally be prone to rejection.

Talos once said that in the Legion era, in order to allow the various legions to understand each other, the legions would send representatives to each other to serve, but most of the results were not very good, and it was difficult for most of the sent soldiers to truly integrate into the Other legions, so until the outbreak of the Great Rebellion, it was difficult for the various legions to be called mutual understanding.

This is why the basic structure of Deathwatch is the killing squad. Although as a complex organization, Deathwatch seems to have achieved the possibility that fighters of different bloodlines can cooperate with each other to fight and live, but in fact it limits the organizational framework. In order to achieve such a goal within a very small range, if the Death Watch was operating on the scale of a battle group, the result would definitely be different.

Now as the scale of the Star Knights continues to expand, Soshyan has to face problems that no one has ever faced before, and there is no experience to learn from——

How should Astartes of different bloodlines get along and live together in a large group.

In fact, it is not completely without precedent. The Undead Army itself is an example. Before revealing their background, their ancient predecessors were active in the Legion of the Imperial Fist as the sons of Dorne.

However, this comes at another price, which is the erasure of cultural uniqueness.

Although the relationship between Astartes is maintained by blood, the fact is that it is not the blood that determines the behavior style of one or a group of Astartes, but the culture and long-accumulated traditions, just like a group of Emperor's Children Gene-seed recruits, if they are cultivated according to the dogma and training methods of the Raven Guard, then they will eventually become a group of Raven Sons, and before revealing their life experience, they can have an unhindered encounter with the real Raven Guard They work together, connected to each other by the non-existent "blood fetters".

The Crimson Blades are a living example of this, they embraced the dogma of the Ultramarines, following the example of Robert Guilliman, even though their gene-seed showed obvious Blood Angel traits, before revealing this truth, they It is a group of out-and-out sons of Guilliman, who will never have the same behavior pattern and chapter dogma as the Blood Angels due to the influence of the gene seed.

To put it simply, if Suoshyan forcibly conceals the true identity of the 11th or even the 6th company, and makes their veterans abandon their old culture and traditions, then when the new generation of recruits grows up, they will be out-and-out undead soldiers , this problem can indeed be solved in a sense.

However, it is impossible for Suoshyan to do this. First, he has promised Talos and Zaradon, and second, from a more practical point of view, although different cultures will bring rejection reactions from the battle group, they are also different. It also allowed the Star Knights to have a high degree of tactical flexibility that most battle groups did not have. The trade-offs in this made him choose to retain the cultural uniqueness of those non-undead bloodline companies.

However, this has to face the problem of fragmentation in the battle group.

Suoshyan has always believed that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, but some things can be kept hidden for a longer time, and some things cannot be kept hidden for so long.

All he can do is to take precautions and make the most reasonable arrangements when things happen.

"well-"

Sighing softly, Soshyan walked up to Oscar and looked at the sergeant who was about to become the company commander.

He really intends to appoint Oscar as the company commander. As the first batch of recruits recruited by Nathan No. 4, they have served for nearly fifty years and are already capable of taking leadership positions. Robin, but everyone also thinks that he is not suitable for leadership positions. He is too focused on the sword in his hand, and often ignores the people around him.

Homer has already entered the company. As one of the most adaptable fighters in the gray marrow, Maximilian is very optimistic about this new sergeant. In the future, the guards still need to be expanded. The best growth path for Homer is to be with the Terminator elite. We sharpen together.

And Veronica has always thought that Bahram is more suitable as a commander, which Suoshyan also admitted, but Talos has always hinted that Bahram has another mission, and he is not suitable to be a company commander at present, Suoshyan guessed Talos should have foreseen something, he chose to trust his friend.

So in the end, only Oscar is left.

He also performed well during his service in the third company, and his personal strength can also be called the forefront of the battle group. More importantly, his communication skills are relatively strong, and he has friends in various companies, and he also has Zuo De, a close relative Brother, naturally there is an arm to help him.

So after the second Angstrom naval battle, Soshyan promoted Oscar to be the centurion of the legion, and he released a signal. His intention was to give the opponent some psychological preparation and encouragement.

"Oscar, you let me down."

Oscar glanced at Soshyan, then lowered his head.

"Chapter Master...I didn't control my emotions, I was wrong."

"That's not all your fault."

Soshyan turned and walked away from him, and walked past the others.

"You are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield for decades. I want to ask you, apart from the weapons in your hands and the armor on your body, what is the most trustworthy thing on the battlefield?"

Everyone fell silent, and finally Bahram spoke the answer.

"Report to the head of the battle group, it is a comrade in arms."

Soshyan looked at Bahram, nodded slightly, and asked:

"Then Bahram, tell me, what is a comrade-in-arms."

"A comrade-in-arms...A comrade-in-arms is a person who can put a spoon into a bowl when eating, and is a person who is willing to tell you some cold jokes that he is not good at when he is in a bad mood~www.wuxiahere. com~ is the person who teases you when you are proud and comforts you when you are frustrated, the person who can block bullets for you on the battlefield, the person who is willing to risk his life to get your body back even if you die, even if it is with you The person who has no blood relationship and is willing to be your shield is the eternity of iron and blood, the immortality of life and death."

Staring at Bahram, Suoshyan suddenly had an impulse at this moment, and directly announced on the spot that he would be the commander of the fifth company.

】

However, it would not be good for him and would ruin Oscar.

He turned around and looked at Oscar.

"So, Oscar, do you know where you went wrong?"

Oscar was speechless.

Then Soshyan looked at Zod.

"Zuo De, do you know where you went wrong?"

Zuo De also bowed his head deeply.
