Warhammer: Decided to take the route of stars surrounding the warp

Yifeng sat on a special chair, sipping tea and looking at the Sorok map.

Interesting, really interesting.

The distribution of the Tau in this world is a perfect normal distribution, and they clearly calculate how many humans of a certain identity will penetrate into the water tribe of which identity.

But I didn't expect Yifeng to come and flip the table directly.

Yifeng's policy did not radically eliminate all oppressive classes. Instead, it left a little bit behind. Only through comparison can there be advantages and disadvantages. Let the people make their own choices and let the waves of the times wash away the old forces.

At that time, the upper nest will be expanded, the middle nest will be expanded lower, and the hive cities will be unified. Then the distinction between upper and lower nest cities will be officially abolished. Step by step, the supporters will far outnumber the opponents. With our force deterrence, it can naturally be implemented.

Jonel sat on the edge, he was still a little resistant to this kind of rule.

He believes that it is best for a society to have everyone perform their own duties. Those in the lower nest are working, and those in the middle nest are white-collar workers. This is passed down from generation to generation. The previous generation obtained this profession precisely because of their outstanding performance in this profession. His genes prove this, so people of similar status get married and their children inherit their father's inheritance.

But Yifeng is not the same. He wants to give everyone an acquired choice process, allowing everyone to go through a series of complicated education and competition to find the most suitable career for them.

This will greatly increase consumption. After all, it is much cheaper to just teach a person how to work in a factory than to teach a person a lot of knowledge and then professionally learn factory practical knowledge.

If a person works in a factory for fifteen hours a day, the output will definitely be higher than if he works for eight hours.

But think about it, if a person suddenly has seven hours less work, will he be free? His salary has increased, and will he have to go out and spend money?

That will boost demand, and factories will need to produce more products and recruit more workers. Those idle vagrants, gangsters, and people who are idle in society will join production "for various reasons."

In this way, more goods are produced and circulated, which means that the government collects more taxes in all aspects.

When the government has money, it builds large-scale facilities. These facilities feed back society and increase economic circulation and production capacity, and the government can collect more taxes.

cycle.

This is the strategy we adopt.

Now, each world is nearly isolated by the Great Rift and legions of Imperial enemies.

In the future, if we confront the Empire, these worlds will be like nails scattered at the edges and corners of the Empire, places that are not easy to reach.

Each world must be prepared to fight independently, which means that the internal economic circulation of each world must be improved.

This forces every world to move towards comprehensive development.

Jonel's point is not wrong.

From an overall perspective, the model Jonel mentioned is suitable for the powerful state of the Five Hundred Worlds of the Ultramarines.

In the stable homeland, each world concentrates on producing certain resources, and everyone trades with each other.

Such a whole is stronger than us, but there is no such condition now, and our philosophy does not allow this kind of thing. Never push most mortals to oppose you. This is no different from giving away people to Chaos.

What happens next is relatively simple.

The spy force will spread what happened here to the lairs in other worlds, and after two days when the time is right, the war group will go to the next world to repeat the same trick.

After the war group gradually dispersed its strength and recovered more than twenty worlds, Yifeng stopped similar crazy expansion behavior.

These worlds could barely form a line of defense against the Tau.

Behind him is a world where the empire is riddled with holes. Tyranid, orcs, Eldar, Chaos... a large number of enemies make the local world exhausted to deal with.

This is also the reason why the Empire has never launched any large-scale military operations against the Tau. The local imperial forces may be able to protect themselves and occasionally send a few Astral Legions to support other places, but they no longer have the ability to organize an expedition fleet to deal with the Tau.

In front of these twenty-odd worlds is the official Tau-occupied area, where there are worlds under the jurisdiction of the Tau (that is, worlds that surrendered to the Tau).

(Note: Why can the Tau conquer so many aliens? Because all the awesome aliens were promoted by the Empire during the Great Crusade. It’s good that the remaining harmless things were not kept as livestock by the Empire.)

Inside, there is the Jiamen World (the Tau are divided into world groups based on culture. The Jiamen World is generally a large Tau settlement world, with some surrounding small worlds of the same culture)

Then there is the Gulf of Damocles.

It's a very wide area of ​​darkness with nothing around it, and even a voyage from the Warp would take about five months.

Beyond this bay is the birthplace of the Tau.

This is a natural barrier (it is seriously suspected that there was a big firework here during the Battle of Heaven, leaving nothing around). It protects the Tau tribe and also limits its development.

Yifeng wants to kill the Tau and seize this place.

This is a good place to thrive.

Enmmmmmm

Ignore the Necron dynasty run by the Storm King on the side. As long as they don't convulse, we are as high as the sky and the Emperor is far away... Bah, the Emperor's hidden army, the loyal guards who have been ordered to rebuild the Sixteenth Legion.

Then, things like Qingjun's side need to be dealt with slowly.

Not only that, although the Empire refuses to cooperate with aliens (on the surface), it is still acceptable to cooperate with humans who have chosen the wrong evolutionary tree.

Especially one of the current Tau Alliance armies - the space dwarves!

There is another reason why the war group is plotting here.

Although the Chapter never worries about gene seeds and power armor, that is for ordinary warriors.

The data in Yifeng's hands shows that at the current rate of transformation of new recruits, after another twenty years of development, our power armor will not be enough, especially the armor worn by Primaris warriors. After another thirty years of production, the genetic seeds may be exhausted. There is not enough time for the next batch of transformations before the recruits have the seeds.

The Tau battle suit technology can be used as a low-level substitute. Although it is not as durable as power armor, we can make it larger, as big as a Centurion mecha, and use it as a robot firepower fortress.

The mini knight mecha doesn't look good.

Pick yourself up and get ready to hit the ground running.

The twenty worlds that were taken over by Yifeng were not nothing. There were still several worlds where the high-level officials had not been infiltrated by the Tau. They even had several Moon-class cruisers and Imperial Navy troops patrolling and stationing there. This was why the Tau did not control these worlds. reasons for becoming a colony.

The local leaders happily handed over command of the army to Astartes and asked Yifeng and the others to clean up the heretics here.

Then, as can be imagined, the Crimson Torrent Chapter almost robbed these battleships, nominally to reintegrate their forces. The Chapter already had several Moon-class cruisers. Adding these, the final result was a battle barge. Cruise around with nine moon-class cruisers.

Warships are on guard here, and the same is true next door.

In the home world closest to humans, the ether nobles gathered together to discuss the current situation.

The human empire suddenly strengthened border management, and more than two dozen worlds were suddenly closed. All local forces of the Tau were hunted down. Only some ancient Vissar (human Tau Alliance) survived, and their loyalty has yet to be reaffirmed.

The etheric nobles here are also divided into two factions. One faction believes that the elites of the Water Tribe should be sent to conduct diplomatic activities to try to figure out what happened. The other faction says that the other side has obviously betrayed the Greater Good and should directly send a large army to fight.

The Tau army is divided into two categories. One is the merchant fleet. After being severely beaten by the empire, they are determined to develop powerful warships. The emergence of the Hero class (which was a benchmark for the Moon-class cruiser but failed) is the merchant fleet. He is the most powerful in the team, but he is still a bastard.

Later, they proposed a formal plan to set up special research and development. The warships invented since then are called the Guardian Fleet, mainly Guardian-class motherships, Ambassador-class cruisers, Guardian cruisers, Warden gunboats and forts. Main class frigate.

These warships have basically reached the current mainstream level in the galaxy.

Their final decision was to have the merchant navy send some troops to see what was going on.

Six Hero-class cruisers, fourteen Defender-class frigates, and more than twenty old Explorer-class starships set out for the imperial world as an armed trade.

These fleets are enough to deal with the small alien races they faced before, but facing the empire...well, they don't know how terrifying the empire is.

One Glory Queen-class battleship can solve all the problems here, but where can we get one?

Several ether nobles completed the meeting. They seemed to know clearly that the empire would not send a strong enough fleet here at all, so they confidently sent out "armed transport ships".

For thousands of years, the existence of these Ethereals has been confusing. They seem to have the ability to control the Tau's minds, so they can firmly become the Tau's ruling class.

Their spiritual energy is too powerful, unlike the Tau who project thinly in the subspace, and they seem to have some means of influencing others. Anyone who fights with them will be more or less mentally suppressed.

Thousands of years ago, when these blue-skinned Tau tribes were still primitive people, the two tribes were still shooting arrows at each other. The Ether tribe suddenly appeared and said, "Don't fight." .

No matter what you think, something is wrong.

Also, they appear to have the same effect on Imperial troops.

For example, a Terminator warrior holding a storm shield suddenly appeared and was sniped to death, a group of people who have been fighting professionally for who knows how many years did not protect the supply lines at all, the ground troops were being beaten, and the fleet occupying the orbit of the planet did not fire a single shot. , a certain professional infiltration Raven Guard infiltrated for a long time, almost completely occupied it, but did not realize that it was a trap...

Yifeng seriously suspected that they were not Tau people, but were guys who were good at using control witchcraft and were just using the Tau to accomplish their own unknown purposes.

Several old guys from the Ether Tribe shouted about the Greater Good and made a speech in front of the fellow Water Tribe people who had lost their tribe.

We have sent heroic Fire Caste warriors and loyal Kroot helpers to let those humans know that the Tau cannot be insulted! The Greater Good must not be insulted!

The fleet commander thought otherwise.

This all-powerful commander is already a respected old man in the Fire Caste. He is experienced enough to tell the details of all space battles in the history of the Tau, and has rich experience in fighting greenskins and Tyranids.

Almost instinctively, he felt that this was the prelude to another Damocles expedition, but as usual, the signal of being beaten should have been sent to the colonies ahead. Could it be that the enemy had attacked Yuan Yuan's territory first.

(Foresight, a splinter force of the Tau tribe, did not submit to the jurisdiction of the Ether tribe, and became independent in an enclave, a semi-elite democratic system)

Thinking that something was wrong, the all-powerful commander ordered the fleet to be divided into two parts, light at the front and heavy at the back. Two Hero-class cruisers and seven Defender-class frigates entered first to explore the situation.

In this way, the Tau fleet slowly drifted in the subspace and arrived here four months after the Sorok world was completely controlled by Yifeng.

There is no way, the ships of the merchant fleet are too old and do not have reliable engines.

When the forward troops arrived here, they still followed the orders of the Shui Tribe diplomatic ambassador. They still considered it a diplomatic act.

However, they passed through the reconnaissance area arranged by Yifeng on a strange trajectory and drove all the way into the galaxy.

Collided head-on with the Mother of Tears battle barge.

Mother of Tears is a modified battleship with the most advanced void shield and the most powerful melee firepower in the empire. Chapter Commander Matthew Leo immediately...opened the small bag of tips given to him by Yifeng.

"Rush to the opposite face. The enemy's broadside is the weak point. Note: The enemy warships are not as fast as ours."

Not to mention that the Wailer has "reformed", ever since Matthew Leo realized his unlucky problem, he has followed the advice of Yifeng, a "victorious" salted fish.

The battle barge Mother of Tears kicked off the accelerator and rushed into the enemy's battleship pile.

The all-powerful commander of the Fire Clan was in the rear formation, and the vanguard army was led by a trainee commander. He immediately ordered the troops to spread out and launch a fire coverage formation to cover the very large warship in front of him.

The problem is that it's of no use.

These attacks can indeed damage Lunar-class cruisers. Isn’t hitting a battle barge just scratching an itch?

The Wailers rushed all the way to the center of the enemy's battleship group and fired a bombardment at a hero-class cruiser.

At this time, the fanatical Chapter Leader Matthew Leo would habitually prepare to join the gang.

"All warriors, prepare! Go kill the aliens."

Upon hearing this, the Red Torrent liaison officer stationed at the Mother of Tears took out the second kit in his arms.

A green mochi rolled out of the kit, along with a note.

"Chapter Commander Matthew Leo, wait a moment."

The liaison officer handed him the tips bag, "Leader Yifeng said, when you want to join a gang, I will give these to you and let you eat this mochi."

???

Matthew Leo was confused and brought snacks?

But out of trust in Yifeng, Matthew Leo read the small note from Yifeng while eating mochi.

"It's like jumping to the Hammer Gang and hitting the side macro cannon a few times... I'm sorry, it's so hard. Just these warships with crispy shells can be penetrated by the hot melt when jumping to the gang chamber... .... With Sanguinius on top, the sour smell is a bit strong, rush to their side and blast them hard, don't worry, our large force will arrive before they break through your void shield."

Mathilio felt refreshed after eating the mochi. With a wave of his hand, the Astartes shrank their defenses and moved closer to the interior of the battleship.

If absolutely necessary, only use warp teleportation to jump gangs.

It is very painful for the Sons of Sanguinius to watch helpless mortals kill their enemies and do nothing, but they are not the ones who are anxious now.

The Fire Caste warship on the opposite side faced the Mother of Tears with its broadside and had no offset protection. The ordinary shield was overloaded after the first bombardment attack.

The weak armor on the sides almost directly faces the attack of the macro artillery.

The Tau's railguns and heavy ion cannons were unable to break through the void shield's defense.

Only drones (intelligent-controlled AI drones) and intelligent-controlled missiles were able to effectively enter the attack range, but they were beaten to pieces by the close-in defense guns of the combat barges.

The battle barge is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow against the ancient Hero-class cruiser. (Of course, the Mother of Tears battle barges appear to have been in service longer than the entire interstellar history of the Tau.)

Matthew Leo suppressed his fighting spirit and sat back on the commander's chair.

Brother Yifeng's judgment was correct. It was true. The enemy was the size of a cruiser, but had no corresponding combat power. It had a silver gun with a candle head, a papery old... mouse.

After analyzing many cases of failed naval battles, the Tau's tactics are not without improvement. When a hero-class cruiser was being beaten, a large number of frigates entangled it, and another hero-class cruiser was pouring firepower from a distance.

Then...the railgun almost ran out of ammunition and failed to break the void shield.

The trainee commander quickly recorded the war situation, which was harder than the human empire battleships he had seen during the Damocles expedition.

Precious information.

Then, a strange subspace light lit up behind the battleship.

The Eternal Mountain led the Moon-class cruiser out of the subspace and almost rear-ended the enemy cruiser.

The Eternal Mountain didn't even take action, and nine Moon-class cruisers beat the Hero-class cruiser into a sieve on the spot.

Our main force was annihilated in front of us, but the Defender-class frigates maintained astonishing sanity, leaving two frigates to try to drag our warships to death, and the rest of the troops immediately began to flee.

The Mother of Tears' whole body was now covered in pits, and the void shield had not yet been completely overloaded, but the drones that came in at a low speed still caused a lot of damage.

Chapter Master Matthew Leo was glad that he listened to the advice of the advice, and the new communication from Brother Yifeng was simple.

"Can these two little gadgets be handled?"

"It's just a joke."

Even if you are determined to die, it is just a few more souls under the cannon of the giant ship.

The mighty fleet began to pursue the enemy. Their old engines could not support long-term navigation in the subspace, not to mention that the Defender-class frigate was also a backward product in the eyes of the Tau.

(The Tau's small spaceships are mainly powered by maneuvering engines and are not equipped with subspace engines or curvature engines. Their small battleships generally hang on the sides of large warships for long-distance navigation)

Some of the ships from the fleeing enemies began to fight and dispersed the raid.

To tell a joke, four backward and slow warships started a battle against ten "advanced warships".

The ancient "Spear of God" light spear array on the Eternal Mountain was activated, using a light energy attack that the enemy had hardly seen before, blowing up a frigate in a few breaths.

The last frigate they covered has already moved far away, but note that the Yifeng Chapter's own Moon-class cruiser is equipped with a Nova Cannon.

The cannonball with a diameter of more than fifty meters accelerated to sub-light speed, and was more powerful than ten plasma space torpedoes.

This long-range strike weapon is far more advanced than the Tau.

In the empty space, the Moon-class cruiser unceremoniously carried out cross-bombing from multiple angles, and the fleeing enemies instantly turned into a group of gorgeous fireworks.

This is the first contact between our troops and the enemy.

......

After the war, Yifeng and Matthew Leo sat together and ate ten green mochi made by Tenos, without thinking about it.

This is too much, how do you survive in the Milky Way?

How was the Damocles Expedition fought?

The records of that expedition in history are also vague. It is an old tradition of the empire. If the battle is not good, it will be remembered randomly, and the battle losses will be calculated in subsequent battles.

They said that the empire dispatched twelve or nineteen main battleships at that time. Could it be that there were no battleships, or more than a dozen light and heavy cruisers.

Five hundred Astartes and two strike cruisers?

The Titan Order of the Adeptus Mechanicus has also been dispatched, maybe just the war dog-level reconnaissance Titans.

Yifeng, a guy who has never seen a serious Imperial Navy force since he was born, has no idea about the number of battleships.

I wonder if this can be made without technology but with materials?

Matthew Leo was similar, I only met him a few times when I was young. Later, during the Lamenter's Atonement Crusade, he fought almost alone, fighting the Tyranids for a hundred years, and then he met Yifeng during a subspace trek. Well.

Later, Matthew Leo participated in a large-scale battle organized by Dante. Hundreds of main battleships swarmed up. Isn't it a small fleet with just a few battleships?

The heads of these two country bumpkins, who are sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, are almost overloaded.

At this time, the plenipotentiary commander of the Tau tribe was really overloaded.

His forward troops didn't even make a splash, just like that? They risked their lives to record, and the information transmitted back from a long distance was a fierce battle with a huge battleship with strong defense, and then disappeared?

The all-powerful commander immediately ordered a war warning, and the remaining troops immediately began to evacuate. The large ships split open and began to retreat. A small number of frigates carried only a few groups of Fire Caste scouts and scattered forward desperately. , launch investigation.

The warning spread to the nearby homeworld, and the entire fleet of defenders stationed there was mobilized.

Fight against the evil empire and defend your homeland to the death.

Tau tribesmen, protect your family and country, who else but me, for the sake of the greater good!

Why don't I make up a Tau name?

because......

Note: The real names of the Tau were abolished when they were extremely young. They only have a series of titles. When translated...

The Fire Blade is a brave and fearless Fire Blade who makes good use of Drones, is an excellent scout, and has a fiery heart.

This title is constantly changing as the experience increases, and it is all based on the evaluation of this Tau by others.

You have to climb to Shadowyang's level to qualify for such a brief and exclusive title.
