"Greenskins are born for war, and as long as they continue to fight, the faster the greenskin spores of the same tribe will develop, and the more greenskinned aliens will be generated. It's not even just a matter of numbers, their technology will grow rapidly in the process. ”

Martins carefully supplemented Gu Hang's knowledge about the 'Cancer of the Universe'.

"It's good you didn't lose, and if they win a crucial battle, they'll grow faster. In fact, these guys who were in Junk Town before had already given those greenskins a victory, which was equivalent to stepping on the accelerator for their clan's development. ”

"Thankfully, the Greenskin Clan hasn't been around long enough, and it started in the ruins of the city, where it is said that there are often wasted energy storms...... If it is in a warm forest area and the land is more fertile, we may be facing millions of green skin tides. ”

"In the face of such an enemy, it is not a smart choice to continue to fight a war of attrition. It takes twenty years for a human soldier to go from birth to being able to become a qualified warrior; Those green skins, which grow out of the ground, can fight. ”

"If we don't solve the problem as soon as possible, what we will face next may not be 20,000 green-skinned orcs, but doubling the number of greenskins, and low-level green-skinned creatures such as fart spirits that have become ten times the number. Their technology will even improve, artillery may become more powerful and shoot farther, and armed trucks will become bigger and more ferocious. It is not surprising that there is even something that can be called a cow ghost and a snake god. Among the greenskinned races, there are sometimes existences that can tie with a space soldier by relying only on physical strength. ”

……

After listening to the lot of information about Greenskin told by Martins, Gu Hang's face had completely darkened.

Some of the previous plans had to be reversed.

As Martins said about the greenskins, the best way to target this kind of enemy is to bulldoze him in waves, don't fight any war of attrition, and don't expect to reduce the number of enemies. Even if it is a wave of bulldozing, the number of it must be kept to a very low level.

Otherwise, the follow-up troubles are endless.

"I see what you mean, thanks for the information." After Gu Hang thanked Martins, he made a request in passing, "I will contact the 'Quintet' immediately, and Commodore Yelicia will provide us with orbital strike support." As soon as the orbital strike fire is covered, we will immediately launch an attack, which will be three days later. ”

Martins nodded: "Three days, it's not a big problem. ”

"That's it, and I'll still need your help then."

……

Three days is the time it takes for Gu Hang to send the equipment of those garrisons, consume the gift points, and train them to the T5 level.

This is a necessary rearmament of the troops.

At the same time, he also took advantage of this time to have an in-depth communication with Yelicia in the sky.

When Elixia's hologram appeared in front of him, he saw the blonde-haired female captain, elegantly cutting a steak with a glass of red wine in hand.

The corners of Gu Hang's mouth twitched slightly.

These things were all supplies he sent to the quintet.

The 'Quintet' has its own synthetic starch production capacity, and it also has military logistics supplies that were replenished before setting off for the Angry Owl to carry out the mission, even if no logistics were replenished during the two-year mission, it would not be hungry, just don't think about how good it is.

People have helped a lot, so Gu Hang's side must always show something.

When he was very poor before, he collected wool from Yelicia, and Gu Hang would remember to replenish some consumer goods and materials for the transport spaceship on the return trip, and now it will be even more so.

Of course, the Quintet does not send a ship specifically to transport logistical supplies. Otherwise, if you just transport some food, that little thing can't cover the cost of a transport spaceship to take off and land......

The last time the transport ship came, it was serious.

A group of battle nuns from the Holy Lily of Mercy descended from the ship, and it was the support of Sister Gorrite. From the Sisters' headquarters at Koroga 3, twenty Battle Sisters arrived at Raging Owl.

Counting the two who died in battle, there were twenty-nine of them.

Goritte is on the same page as the original Raging Owl Sect, and some time ago they have completed the investigation in Fuxing City, and they have also arrested some cultists who are relatively hidden.

Some time ago, the twenty-nine battle nuns had already left Fuxing City, pursuing the clues they had obtained, and headed north.

Gu Hang wished them good luck.

If they can solve the cult problem from the Raging Star on their own, that would be the best thing. And if they need help with anything, Gu Hang will not be stingy.

To put it bluntly, they're doing their own work.

And the spaceship that carried twenty combat nuns down, on its way back, also brought with it one of the things that Brigadier Elisia valued most: a letter of commendation.

The letter of commendation was written by Gu Hang himself, to the effect that in the name of the Governor of the Angry Owl Star, he thanked Brigadier General Elisia for his outstanding contribution in confronting and eliminating the cult believers and evil gods who did not serve the emperor.

Of course, if this letter was only written by Gu Hang himself, it would not be of much use.

A letter of commendation from the Governor of the planet can indeed be used as a reference for military generals to receive meritorious service after the operation. In other words, Yelicia took this letter of commendation and reported it, and the imperial military would approve it.

But the level of recognition is not necessarily.

A powerful governor, or even some of the casting generals of the world, needless to say, a letter is enough for promotion; Gu Hang's ...... It's not big, and the gold content is not enough.

But if this letter of commendation is accompanied by the signature and fire paint stamp of a Star Marine warband and a nun of the Sisters Society, it will be different.

Gu Hang wasn't sure how valuable such a commendation letter was, but at least looking at Yelicia's smiling face at the time, he knew that it shouldn't be bad.

Of course, it was impossible to bring only one letter with the transport ship on the return trip. Although the letter of commendation is the most important, the cabin is not always empty, so it is better to transport some scarce logistics supplies.

Please this rich woman in the sky a little.

It includes some red wine, which was copied out when Fuxing City copied the homes of those powerful people, and said that it was a product of some local craft brewing in the Qinggu area.

As for the steak, it is derived from the wild bull. After the production of trucks in Weixing City rose to almost 200 per month, the demand for animal power also dropped significantly.

Not only did a large number of commercial cattle in the caravans of Fuxing City lose their service value and return to the livestock ranch to breed beef cattle and dairy cows.

And that's how the steak that Yelicia is eating now came about.

"Ms. Brigadier General, you seem to be in a good mood."

"Not bad, indeed." Yelicia swallowed the beef slowly, took another sip of red wine, and commented: "However, the quality of your beef is not good, and the meat is too rough; The taste of red wine is also slightly inferior. ”

"You're still provoking."

"Just a sigh." The waiter next to her put away the dishes, and Elicia continued, "This is the hardest time of my life. Actually, I still thank you for sending these materials, otherwise the collection I brought with me would not last for two years. ”

“……”

Gu Hang coughed lightly twice, not wanting to talk more about these corrupt lives with Yelicia, and turned to business: "I hope to be able to get the support of an orbital strike." ”

"What specs?" Yelicia is still slow.

"Full force."

"What?" At this time, Yelicia was not too calm, "What kind of enemy are you going to encounter on the surface that you need me to carry out an all-out orbital strike?" ”

"Greenskin."

Gu Hang's words were concise and to the point, while Yelicia frowned deeply.

"Or those greenskins? Is there something particularly significant? ”

Elicia asks this because she had previously paid attention to the greenskin threat on the Raging Owl. Relevant information, as the war progresses, will be sorted out every once in a while and sent to the starship.

She understands what's going on on the ground. That's why she has questions.

According to the latest situation she had seen before, the fight was relatively close, but it was far from the point where something big happened.

Gu Hang coughed lightly and said, "We can't always fight a war of attrition with those greenskins here. If we don't solve the problem completely, after a while, when another batch of these green skins grow, we will have to face another war on a larger scale and with a more difficult enemy, and we may not be able to win it then. ”

"I understand that, but ...... Do you know how much it costs to fire the quintet once at full specification? ”

Gu Hang didn't expect Elicia to ask this question.

He waited in silence for Elicia to continue speaking. Obviously, this is not really asking him, but a self-answering sentence.

Elisia continued: "The last time you asked me to help with precision strikes, it was the least powerful and lowest-cost strike method on the 'Quintet': the 'Scalpel' ship-based missile. The price of such a missile is 300 tax coins, and a round of bombardment of all specifications is hundreds of rounds of 'scalpels';"

"One level further up is the 'Hot Hammer' macro cannon, which is a small macro cannon, the price of one cannonball is four thousand tax coins, and there are twenty cannonballs in one round."

"The highest level is the 'Wrath of the Loyal Heir' cannon, the price of one cannonball is 50,000 tax coins, and there are only two on my ship."

"Do you know how expensive it is now?"

The more he listened, the more ugly Gu Hang's face became.

He knew it was expensive, but he didn't know it was so expensive.

The so-called 'tax currency' is not a monetary concept in the conventional sense. It was a tool used by the Imperial Tax Department to measure the value of the goods provided by the planet when it collected taxes on various planets. One tax coin can be roughly equivalent to what the empire considers to be the population of an ordinary world, the minimum standard output value for a year.

Turn over a healthy adult population worth five tax dollars; A well-trained soldier with a full set of individual equipment, worth ten tax coins.

In the Empire's registration records, the Raging Star paid taxes according to the lowest record - 10 million tax coins for two years. Moreover, the preferential treatment Gu Hang received made him only have to pay a quarter of it for the first time, that is, 2.5 million tax coins.

According to Yelicia, the total consumption of such a round of shelling was 210,000 tax coins.

After fifty rounds, the ammunition money alone is enough for the angry owl to pay a full amount of imperial taxes; Twelve rounds of play are enough for Gu Hang to pay taxes for the first time; If you play four rounds, you can withstand the lives of all the soldiers of these nine divisions and brigade-level units under Gu Hang's command.

He understood the meaning of Brigadier General Yelicia's words: The orbital strike can be carried out, but after the fight, your less dead soldiers, is it worth my shell money?

This is the 'spirit' of the first-class people in the navy: people calculate the price of artillery shells based on people's lives.

A single round of artillery is worth the lives of 20,000 well-trained soldiers. If you take 20,000 lives to fill the hole, don't call the honorable navy lord to blow it up for you.

But......

Gu Hang suddenly smiled, and deeply understood a truth in his heart: the money of the navy is not Lao Tzu's money, and the dead soldier is really Lao Tzu's soldier!

So he said, "It's going to blow up." ”

Yelicia shook her head helplessly: "I knew you would say that." If you insist, then I'll help you. ”

Anyway, the money of the Navy is not the money of the old lady.

Of course, it can't be too much.

So Yelicia added: "But ...... You have to do two things. The first is to determine the target, I have read your original plan, I can't let the expensive artillery fire hit the entire city ruins aimlessly, that would be too costly. You need to give me accurate targets to hit and improve the efficiency of strikes, and this is for your own good. In the face of a target of this level, a full-scale strike can only come at most once, and you must cherish this opportunity and strive for the best results. ”

"Also, you need to give me a copy of the post-war effect statistics. Afterwards, these things will be reviewed by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the results and expenses of the war need to be justified. If the result is too outrageous, the Ministry of Military Affairs will find you trouble, and the related shell consumption may make you out, and there is a precedent for this kind of thing. And I'm going to take responsibility too, you don't make it hard for me. ”

"I understand. Thank you, Elixia. ”

Thanks this time, Gu Hang removed his honorific title and became closer.

He knew that Elicia had helped.

Otherwise, if Elixia really cherishes her life and is unwilling to take too much responsibility, she insists on doing things according to the rules, and this round of orbital strikes really can't be applied, I'm afraid that at most a small meaning will be over.

Since people have helped, Gu Hang will not deliberately trick her.

Isn't it just to find the target accurately?

Brothers of the Immortal Bird Warband can help.

Isn't it conventional usage for Space Marines, who are more special forces than special forces, to sneak behind enemy lines and mark important strategic targets to facilitate orbital strikes?
