Chapter 2907 (||￢▽￢) Plans and changes
A few days later, deep in the deck of FC-N-01, in the resistance base that was transformed from a huge abandoned cabin, almost everyone was gearing up for an upcoming battle.
Prepare.
Yes, that's fighting!
Or could it be said that it was an upcoming uprising?
Because their leader Ali has already spoken, asking all members of the organization to prepare for battle. At the same time, our own personnel on all lines have also been mobilized, waiting for Horus to die and for chaos to occur on the Vengeful Spirit.
, then they will start taking action.
Is it even possible that we won’t be able to wait until Horus dies?
Anyway!
A certain order has been issued, but the specific time has not yet been decided, but even then, everyone still takes action and prepares for a certain moment.
For example, in the functional area of ​​​​the base, the craftsmen in charge of forging are sitting around the simple workbench lathe, their hands are dexterously flying on the anvil, placing pieces of iron, and then sparks are flying.
A piece of protective plate armor was extruded into shape instantly.
Although those plate armors are not produced by the empire's top forging workshops and can only be made into the simplest armors, they embody the wisdom and sweat of the resistance members and can form the most basic protection and provide a solid foundation for the warriors who will rise up in time.
We provide whatever help we can.
Of course, although they may not have much effect?
In addition to the forging area, the weapons manufacturing area is also in full swing.
The parts of the special single-shot bolter were assembled one by one, and then the single-shot bolters were manufactured and neatly stacked on the gun rack, waiting for acceptance.
Even though those weapons may seem crude and can only fire a single shot, they are very powerful. For the rebels who are short on ammunition, such weapons are the best and most capable of exerting astonishing power.
After all, not to mention ordinary Imperial soldiers, even powerful Astartes space warriors like the 'Sons of Horus' would die if they were aimed at the head with a bolter and fired!
As for why only a single shot was made instead of a continuous shot, it is of course because the craftsmanship materials are not up to standard and the power of the armor-piercing bolter is too high. It is difficult for ordinary people to control the continuous shot, and if it is replaced with ordinary ammunition, it cannot be used against the Space Marines.
It poses an effective threat, so the single-shot hand blaster is now the optimal solution.
And now that armor and weapons are available, the production of explosives must be indispensable!
Isn’t this?
In an independent area outside the base, the explosive devices are working overtime.
After so many years, the various chemicals and explosives accumulated by the rebels were finally put to use. After being mixed and solidified in precise proportions, they were made into devices that could be easily timed, and then used one by one.
They were carefully placed layer by layer in a clean corner, waiting to be distributed to the hands of the soldiers.
Those explosives will be cleverly placed at key locations on the Vengeful Spirit. They can be blasted at fixed points or used as projectiles to supplement the lack of heavy firepower. Once detonated, they will completely break the calm inside the ship and cause huge damage.
, for the rebels, it is more than enough to use it in the ship.
In addition to the preparation of weapons and equipment, in the conference room in the middle of the base, the high-level leaders of the resistance army are intensively conducting tactical drills and collecting intelligence, using all currently available resources as much as possible to map out the ship.
Use the detailed map inside to analyze the enemy's defense situation and work out the most reasonable attack route and attack arrangements.
Moreover, they have repeatedly considered every detail and every route to ensure that the action is foolproof.
Of course, not everyone is busy at this time.
Isn’t this?
In a corner of the base, on top of a pile of neatly placed metal plates, two people, although their bodies and faces were dirty because they had just transported and cut steel, were relatively good-looking and energetic.
All the men and women were hugging each other and sitting on the pile of metal plates.
"Alian..."
"I heard the leader say..."
"Back then, she saw it when she was on Huagai Star. She said that people there only had to work six to eight hours a day, everyone was clean, and their wages were very high. They had brand-new big houses with gardens, and
Rationed transportation, rich and delicious natural foods, fruits and vegetables?"
"The key is!"
"Children there can still play carefree, see the blue sky and white clouds, breathe fresh air, eat all kinds of things, and choose what they like to study, instead of being like the spirit of revenge.
It’s the same here. From birth, you can only numbly accept the arrangements from above, and then work until you die..."
"you say……"
"How great would it be if our future children could be born and grow up in a place like that?"
"I really don't want him or her to be born in such an environment. It's really too cruel..."
"How could the Emperor and the Empire do this? What do they think of people?"
"Although there are many threats from the outside, including demons, greenskins, and other alien races, we can't use people as tools to exploit them to this extent, right?"
"I really hope we can live on a planet like Huagai Star..."
"My grandfather gave me that name, didn't he just hope that I would have the opportunity to find a planet to live on in the future and not have to be as miserable as them?"
As he spoke, the man holding the woman began to sigh, lament and long for her.
His name is "Yellow Planet". Like most of the young people on this spaceship, he was born and raised on the spaceship. He has never seen the blue sky and white clouds in his life, even from the porthole.
There is no chance to look at the stars in the distance.
Therefore, of course, he had never dared to think about the desire for the ground and the sky, and the kind of perfect life that leader Ali once told them, and he could not imagine what it was like. He just followed what others said.
Just take it out and have a look at it.
"But……"
"Brother Huang, didn't your grandfather say that?"
"The Huagai Star is gone, that's what the leader said!"
"A lot of people know it!"
However, the woman nestling in the man's arms was not as optimistic as the man, and just sighed in frustration.
Now that she is pregnant, if she wants to live on such a planet, it is probably beyond her reach.
even……
Does she think that her child may not even be able to live in a normal and better ship environment?
"It's not like that!"
"There's something weird about that thing!"
"I heard that the planet disappeared because in the face of the tyrannical Empire's Great Expedition Fleet, Huagai Star, knowing it was invincible, took the initiative to retreat!"
The man shook his head, indicating that what he heard was different from what the woman knew.
"Can a planet disappear?"
"Isn't it possible?"
Although I have never seen what the planet looks like, it must be bigger than all the battleships, including the Vengeful Spirit of course. Therefore, the woman Alian still feels a little unbelievable.
"Then I don't know..."
"That's why the leader said that we are going to revolt, seize a ship, and then go back to Taiwei Galaxy to have a look!"
"Perhaps we can find some clues by then?"
After frowning and thinking for a while, the man who couldn't think of a reason suddenly laughed and seemed to feel that it was too early for him to say that kind of thing now.
"Is that so?"
"But……"
"Can our uprising really succeed this time?"
"I have no idea!"
"If Horus is really dead, this ship will definitely become chaotic, and then Terra's punishment for the Sons of Horus may also come. By then, maybe in the chaos we will really have something
Chance?"
"Is Horus really going to die?"
"He is a very strong original body. It is said that he is as strong as the false emperor!"
"That's not clear. Aren't we preparing to wait for him to die?"
"ah!"
"That's right..."
"I hope you can really win this time, right?"
"We will definitely win!"
"Don't worry!"
"This time, we have been preparing for decades. When the time comes, the number of people participating and mobilizing will exceed your imagination!"
"Um!"
"Right!"
"Tell me, why is the leader so powerful?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I've been to Huagai Star before?"
"I heard that the soldiers in Huaxuan Town are the same size as us, but they are very powerful. They can even defeat the Astartes Space Marines. It was said that even the Primarch Horus was defeated!"
"Really or not?"
"Of course it's true! The leader said it, how can it be false?"
"very nice……"
"How great would it be if all of us were as powerful as our leader?"
"yes……"
"If we are all like the leader, with our current number of people, it is probably more than enough to capture this Vengeful Spirit, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"..."
"..."
As they talked, the two stopped talking and hugged each other tightly.
And if the current situation wasn't inappropriate, if it were in a room with two people, I'm afraid the two of them would have started to get into a ball, right?
"Hello--"
"Yellow Planet!"
"You two, stop cuddling!"
"The leader said it!"
"Let all the leaders go to a meeting!"
At this time, another young man appeared in the distance, and the other young man yelled at Huang Xingxing and Alian who were hugging each other.
"!!"
"I'll go first. The work here is done. Alian, you can go back and rest!"
With that said, the yellow star did not dare to neglect, and ran quickly towards the direction of the man who called him, as if running away.
Just tens of seconds later...
In a somewhat depressing conference room, resolute and tired faces of men, women, and children were gathered around a simple holographic 3D model of the Vengeful Spirit. When the young leader Huang Xingxing ran into the conference room
At that moment, he saw that all the big bosses inside, including his grandfather and the others, were already quarreling.
"..."
As the new generation of small leaders of the resistance, they only have the right to vote and observe, and certainly have no right to speak. Therefore, he had no choice but to stand silently on the outside with the others and listen.
"Everyone!"
"I repeat it again!"
"Horus is seriously injured and is being sent to Devon for treatment. Just as the leader just said, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for us, and it is fleeting!"
"Once he recovers and returns, our situation will be even more difficult."
"By then, it is very likely that we will not have such an opportunity in the next few years, ten years, or even until we die..."
"So, I think we must seize this fleeting opportunity and launch an uprising immediately."
"Without delay!"
Standing next to the leader Ali, the leader of the resistance army had a scar on his face and his other eye had been replaced with a red mechanical eye.
Lock onto an individual around you.
His status in the resistance is not low, and it can be heard from his speech that he seems to be a staunch supporter of leader Ali, and he strongly agrees with the decision to seize this opportunity to launch an uprising and try to seize the ship to escape.
"Aiden, I understand your eagerness..."
"But impulse is the devil!"
"Although Horus was seriously injured, his influence and deterrence are still there, and the Astartes are still there. The absence of a few officers on the ship will not affect anything..."
"If we act rashly, it will only lead to a violent and angry suppression by the other party. We must wait to confirm whether he is really dead, and observe whether his death caused chaos inside the Vengeful Spirit, and then we might as well wait until the chaos reaches
Do you take action after reaching the peak?”
Ali's other deputy, a woman in her thirties, frowned and refuted what the scar-faced Aiden just said.
"That's right!"
"I also agree with Luna."
"Current intelligence shows that although Horus was injured, the imperial fleet did not relax. Instead, it strengthened its vigilance. To start an uprising at this time is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!"
"Should we use this time to strengthen internal communications, collect more intelligence, and prepare a more thorough plan?"
Then, another old leader also spoke and supported Luna's point of view just now.
"!!"
"Uncle Huang, what do you think?"
Seeing that two more people were opposing him, the scar-faced Aiden became anxious, and then he had to look at the old man sitting at the other end of the conference table who was playing the holographic ship image, trying to get him
of support.
"Children..."
"War is cruel, and it is not as simple as you think. Especially in this situation where the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, every step must be extremely careful and there is no room for sloppiness."
"The fall of Horus has undoubtedly opened a window for us, but it will take time to verify whether there is light or an abyss behind the window."
"So, we should remain patient and not let down our guard."
"Using this time, we should strengthen our communication channels, train more recruits, develop more members, and ensure that when the real opportunity comes, we can attack with the strongest strength?"
"Back then, we were too confident, so..."
No matter what, that Uncle Huang shook his head, and then his expression became a little desolate.
However, when he said that, he basically expressed his position, that is: he also opposed the immediate uprising. Instead, he first observed the situation clearly and waited until everything was safe before launching.
"Uncle Huang!"
"you……"
Upon hearing this, the scar-faced Aiden looked very surprised and disappointed.
Apparently he heard it. Uncle Huang, the oldest and one of the first survivors of the uprising, the respected veteran of the organization, didn't seem to support his decision?
"I agree with Uncle Huang's proposal!"
"The intelligence we intercepted yesterday showed that the top brass of the empire seem to have disagreements about whether Horus can recover from his injuries. Some generals have begun to consider the power distribution and replacement in the post-Horus era, and some have even planned to report it to Terra privately.
The latest situation of Horus."
"This may mean that greater chaos is about to come, and a power vacuum on the Vengeful Spirit is about to form?"
"By then, will our chances be greater?"
"really!"
"Leah's information is valuable."
"If that's really the case, I think maybe we really can't rush it?"
"Not in a hurry?"
"If you are not in a hurry now, then when will you be in a hurry? We have been waiting for this opportunity for decades. How many decades do you have left?"
"If it doesn't take ten years, you might be dead of old age!"
"Ahem——"
"Don't say such hurtful words between companions. This is a discussion. We must learn to accept different opinions!"
"Let me tell you my opinion!"
"A few of us have discussed it. We don't need to be too conservative, but we don't need to be too radical. What we need is to hit the target with one hit, not to make unnecessary sacrifices."
"That's right!"
"Leah, I, and Casper also meant the same thing just now!"
"Aiden, we really shouldn't be too impatient now. This matter should not be rushed. I also propose to strengthen ties with other resistance organizations, such as those cults. Maybe we can lure them to create chaos and test first?"
"..."
"..."
In this way, not long after, after arguing for a while, the laughing leaders of the resistance forces present finally reached a consensus, that is: continue to wait, but not passively waiting, but actively preparing while waiting for that
The perfect time to subvert this flagship.
And this consensus is still the same old tune, with nothing new, but there is no way. This is a relatively satisfactory decision after everyone argued. It is the result of a balance between all parties, although some people are not very satisfied.
But there is currently no better way.
"No!"
"Can't wait any longer!"
However, after listening for a long time, before many leaders of the main war faction who were originally opposed to waiting could waver, Ali, as the leader, couldn't help but patted the table and stood up and said:
"No revolution can succeed without bloodshed or sacrifice!"
“Never wait for an opportunity to come your way!”
"You can never expect that the enemy will be defeated without a fight, and then you will be able to easily live the life you long for!"
"Stop dreaming!"
"We will get nothing without paying a certain price!"
"so……"
"I've decided!"
"We will start taking action the day after tomorrow!"
After a pause, seeing the hesitation and hesitation on the faces of the conservatives, Ali had to slow down her tone and sighed, even though she had already made up her mind:
"certainly!"
"I also know that with our current strength, we cannot be their opponent. Therefore, what we are seeking is not to capture this flagship or completely defeat the Sons of Horus here. That is not practical and impossible.
!”
"I have made arrangements on the macro gun deck, ammunition depot and flagship dock."
"When the time comes, we will first create chaos and try to make it sweep across the entire Sixty-Third Fleet. Then, while they are leaderless, they will take advantage of the fact that Horus and their senior officers are on Devon, and seize a high-speed battleship in one fell swoop to escape.
go out!"
"This is our only chance..."
"Can't wait any longer!"
"so……"
"Huh?"
However, just as Ali was speaking impassionedly and preparing to summarize the meeting, and then unify her thoughts to prepare for battle and issue formal orders, unexpectedly, a resistance soldier rushed in from the outside, and then directly took a card full of filth.
The paper was handed into the hands of Ali, who was a little shocked, and then stepped aside slightly flustered and frustrated.
"??"
"What's this?"
Looking at the other party, Ali couldn't help but feel a little surprised and angry. She didn't know why the other party suddenly broke in and interrupted her speech at this time.
But after thinking about it for a while, she didn't say anything more and quickly shook off the paper.
"!!"
"asshole!!"
Immediately afterwards, with just a quick glance, Ali's expression suddenly changed drastically, and then she didn't even care about the summary of the meeting just now, but fiercely threw the letter in her hand towards the ground, and then turned pale.
Regardless of everyone's reaction, he turned around and strode outside with a puff of sleeves.
It was obvious that she was angry, but of course no one present knew why she was angry.
"This is……"
Therefore, when Uncle Huang saw this, he immediately stood up slowly and tremblingly, and then ignored the people who were looking at each other, and took the lead to the position where Ali was fighting just now, and leaned over with difficulty to use his hands to pull away the man who had just been thrown by Ali.
I picked up the paper that had been stepped on and shook it clean before looking at it intently.
Then, his cloudy presbyopia eyes saw this paragraph written on it:
——————
The original body has recovered from his injuries and is now back. Judging from the situation when he disembarked at the embarkation dock, he is in good health and can walk normally. The faces of the many Astartes officers who followed him were high and seemed to be overjoyed.
Win?
——————
"!!"
"He, he's fine now?"
Seeing this, Uncle Huang was obviously very surprised and couldn't help but exclaimed!
Then, he finally understood why Ali, their leader, suddenly looked so ugly just now and walked away without even holding a meeting or giving orders.
"What is it?"
"Uncle Huang?"
"show me!"
"ah!"
"this……."
"Is Horus ready now?"
"What?"
Then, when many bosses, big and small, circulated the note, they soon began to mourn.
"!!"
"Damn it!"
"How did he come back to life?!"
Then, the scar-faced Aiden started to curse angrily. The face that was originally very ferocious became even more ferocious because the scars were squeezed together and combined with the prosthetic eyes.
"this……"
"He didn't die, he just recovered, so what should we do?"
Not long after, when one of the little bosses read the note for the last time, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded and asked sadly.
But unfortunately, their leader Ali, who had just trained them, was so desperate that he just walked away. How could the remaining people come up with any ideas?
You know, that is the Warmaster, that is the Primarch Horus!
The other party is now well, and the officers have returned from Devon. If they dare to revolt at this time, it is hard to say whether they will succeed, but they will definitely die miserably!
"What else to do..."
"Let everyone calm down for the time being, there is no chance..."
So, in the end, Uncle Huang took a stand and signaled everyone to break up the meeting and go back, and then do whatever they had to do, and all the previous discussions were null and void!
"Do you really give up like this?"
"Sure!"
"No chance, go back and explain to the brothers..."
"well……"
"What a fucking bummer!"
"Why isn't Horus dead?"
"There's nothing we can do!"
"perhaps……"
"In other words, it is often said that plans are not as good as changes, right?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Although almost all the big and small leaders present, whether they were conservatives or radicals, were unwilling to accept this situation, in addition to holding a ball of fire in their hearts in frustration and leaving the meeting in frustration,
There is really no other choice.
Otherwise, what else can they do?
After all, the leader of their resistance, their spiritual leader Ali, was so angry that she turned around and left without saying a word!
——————————
Chapter completed!
