Chapter 1016 Emperor's Tears
After watching the Forge General leave, Guilliman sat in a chair and thought carefully.
It took the Primarch less than ten seconds to think about Vic's safety, the acceptance of the High Lords Council, the internal contradictions of the Mechanicus, the future improvement of the Mechanicus, religious beliefs... This series of issues were all thought out by the Primarch's brain at the same time.
After determining that the urgent priority of these matters was far lower than the enemy of the Necrons, Guilliman waved his hand and directed the communication to Qin Mo.
The communication was quickly connected, and Qin Mo's projection appeared in the conference room. Guilliman had talked to him before the large meeting of the High Lords Council, and now Qin Mo seemed to be traveling faster than light in the void.
"Vic is actually the new Forge General." Guilliman first talked about the Forge General.
"Him?" Qin Mo was obviously stunned for a moment, "He is actually the new forging general? This sage entered the High Lords Council quietly like this?"
Guilliman touched his head: "I thought you brought this guy here to help me."
"No... It doesn't matter. Anyway, he can really help you with matters related to the Adeptus Mechanicus." Qin Mo said.
Guilliman nodded.
The matter about Vic was temporarily forgotten. The Primarch said what he really wanted to say: "I have found a way to make the High Lords Council openly accept the war with those skeletons. The Empire will mobilize next."
"How many troops can the Empire mobilize? Is it higher than during the Golden Crusade?" Qin Mo asked.
"It will be much higher than the Golden Crusade." Guilliman stood up from his chair and walked to the porthole to look at the huge array of weapons in the Stone Fortress. "Before the Golden Crusade, I tried to improve the Empire's mobilization system."
"I succeeded."
"With the promotion of the dimensional engine, the establishment of a new communication system, and the new improvement plan I designed for the Astra Militarum and the Astartes, the new mobilization system was successfully established."
"In this war, the Empire will mobilize hundreds of billions of mortal land forces. In addition to those Astartes who have adhered to their duties, all Astartes who have been reorganized into legions can also participate in the war."
"This is the most extreme mobilization."
After listening to what Guilliman said, Qin Mo calculated that he felt that the Empire's advantages had been developed to the limit by Guilliman, so far.
There are countless worlds in the Empire's territory, and the population is naturally countless. This is the basis of the Empire's huge size, and the basis for the Empire to still stand despite the various expeditions of Abaddon that bled the Empire.
Guilliman can be called the strongest ruler, because he can make full use of all advantages to improve the situation of the empire, and he can handle countless things at the same time. The dense white hair on his head, which is as big as a small engine, is a proof that a big thing has been done.
"This is the sadness of mankind." Guilliman suddenly said, "We have many powerful weapons, but these weapons are not powerful enough to fill all the gaps between us and the enemy, which requires us to stack numbers to seek to expand our advantages."
"This will not be a long-lasting sadness." Qin Mo said, "The Talon Sector will equip the Star Army with the latest weapons that can directly destroy the Necromancer without giving it a chance to rebirth. With a huge number advantage and advanced weapons, our chances of winning will be much higher."
Guilliman nodded: "I am fortunate for this. At least not all humans have to rely on a technological religion to slowly produce weapons and equipment."
Qin Mo did not respond. He found that Guilliman became particularly vicissitudes and sad at this time, as if something had affected Guilliman.
"In the later stages of the Golden Crusade, in order to prevent the war from being delayed and expanded, I have ordered the implementation of a new mobilization plan."
"Countless star regions and countless imperial worlds have begun large-scale conscription, and countless worlds have been transformed into industrial worlds to maintain the logistics of a larger-scale Astra Militarum."
As he spoke, Guilliman turned his head and cast a sad look at Qin Mo.
"Countless men and women were mobilized. They may come from a world similar to the Middle Ages, or from an idyllic world, or from a prosperous and advanced world. They were found by the operators of the Empire's Logistics Department and directly stuffed into transport ships and sent to fortress worlds like Cadia for military training."
"Then, the statues of the emperors on these worlds began to cry, whether they were on the National Church Square or in civilian homes, all of them were crying. The weather of the whole world became gloomy, and the continuous and unaccumulated drizzle fell non-stop on these worlds."
"Every time the operators of the Logistics Department arrived at a world, a world would have the vision I mentioned."
"The Emperor is crying, and the throne is crying."
"It's like the Emperor already knows the fate of hundreds of billions of men and women, and the price that the human empire will pay after the war with those skeletons."
After saying this, Guilliman suddenly felt a little relieved. At least he had a good friend who could tell the truth to each other, and he didn't have to be alone in this universe and always show his toughest side to others.
And Qin Mo was silent for a long time.
This was not the first time that the Emperor cried. He had cried in 500.M41.
His current state caused him to suffer the pain of tearing his will in the past, present and future, but he never told or cried for his experience.
When the fate of the human species entered the turning point in the 41st millennium, the Emperor shed tears for the fate of the human species.
"What does the state religion say?" Qin Mo finally spoke.
"The state religion claims that these are the Emperor's tragic tears, because the drizzle on many worlds dispels plague and disease and repairs the bodies of disabled people, so the Pope said that this is the Emperor encouraging humans to join a victorious holy war, but the Emperor shed tears for the warriors who are about to die in the holy war." Guilliman said, "This has greatly boosted the morale of the Empire. People in some religious worlds and even the entire world have joined the Astra Militarum, which has also made it easier for me to convince the high lords. But we all know what the real reason is."
"Yeah." Qin Mo nodded.
The conversation between the two fell into silence again.
A few minutes later, Qin Mo spoke: "I can't say anything grandiose. I can only guarantee that Talon will ensure that every Astra Militarum ally will have adequate supplies and life support, and the casualties of the war will be reduced to the lowest possible level."
Guilliman nodded, "Thank you."
Qin Mo was silent for a while and said goodbye.
The communication ended.
At this time, Calgar walked into the conference room. When he wanted to report a matter to his gene father, Guilliman turned back into the appearance of the Imperial Regent.
