Chapter 599, Gu's New Son

As the name implies, the Death Company is a place where you fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, but not unexpectedly, most of Wang Mengsong and his warriors chose the Death Company.

Fighting to the death... isn't that the goal of the Space Marines?

Normal regiments and Space Marines generally don't retire; they will age, and in theory they may die of old age, but in fact, no Space Marine has ever lived to the age of old age in thousands of years. The final result is disappearance or death in battle.

Entering the Death Company is nothing more than making this time come earlier.

Compared with the so-called "retirement", the Space Marines prefer this.

These transformed "angels" are still different from mortals in the final analysis. After the gene seed is implanted, the mundane desires of many normal people will subside to a very low level. The demand for food, sex, etc. is greatly reduced, and the demand for honor and fighting is far higher than that of ordinary people.

Although the New World Torch is bad, it is still a Space Marine after all, and few people choose to retire.

As the former commander, Wang Mengsong also chose the Death Company.

The Death Company of the New World Torch was established in this way.

Finally, let's talk about the issue of gene seeds.

Not all gene seeds need to be exchanged by Gu Hang.

For example, the seeds of the Phoenix have now reached the upper limit of 2,000, and Gu Hang can no longer exchange for new ones. However, the seeds grown by the Space Marines every five years and picked from the subsequent dead in battle are not restricted. In other words, as long as the Phoenix does not suffer major damage all at once, and the battlefield situation cannot recover the gene seeds, the overall number can slowly increase above 2,000.

It's nothing more than that Gu Hang can no longer exchange the lost gene seeds before they fall below 2,000.

The same logic applies to the 'Secondary Infinite Warrior Gene Seeds' of the New World Torch.

The total amount of 1,800 gene seeds does not need to be exchanged by Gu Hang. Some are ready-made.

Of these 1,800 gene seeds, 800 are allocated to the New World Torch, and the number of New World Torch will gradually be supplemented to more than 900 people. There are still dozens of scattered veterans of the New World Torch who choose to retire, and they will always occupy the quota. Let them occupy it. Gu Hang decided to be generous and give people the choice.

Wang Mengsong will certainly not be the head of the regiment. He does not even have the identity of the captain of the Death Company.

The top management of the New World Torch will be completely taken up by the new seeds exchanged by Gu Hang and the new soldiers trained.

As usual, all members will undergo political commissar training to ensure their loyalty to the alliance.

The other one thousand seeds, after the trained recruits, will be directly formed into the New Fury Flame Regiment to carry out the two-hundred-year atonement expedition - an expedition within the alliance and under the command of the alliance.

The New Fury Flame has no historical baggage, after all, even the veterans do not exist.

For these two, Gu Hang does not intend to have anything to do with the old regiment in terms of regiment culture, but to implement the culture and ethos of the alliance.

Some things that must be related to the old regiment, such as history that cannot be covered up, will also set the tone: the regiment is guilty, but the soldiers are all good soldiers of the alliance. In the warband, they have to fight for the Alliance and wash away the crime of the New World Torch. After a hundred years, when all the sins are redeemed, they will be bathed in glory again.

Gu Hang hopes that the warriors of the New World Torch and the New Fury will not have too much psychological pressure.

What is not easy to say in the Phoenix is ​​easy to say in these two warbands that are completely formed by the Alliance and are only listed through backdoor listing.

You are first of all the warriors of the Alliance. As long as you fight for the Alliance, all the glory will come naturally. You don’t need to care about the bad reputation left by the traitors in the past. That history has nothing to do with you. You don’t even need to pass it on. You don’t even need to tell them about the history of the warband, just the history of the Alliance. Those old torches and old Fury were not even predecessors.

The warriors of the New World Torch also have the responsibility to take good care of the old traitors in the Death Company.

As for how Wang Mengsong would view the sudden appearance of several hundred ‘New World Torches’… Gu Hang would tell them that these were gene seeds seized from their ships and the bodies of their soldiers. At the same time, the Alliance’s agents also stole their gene pool from the home planet of the New World Torches.

In fact, this is true. When the New World Torches went to war a few years ago, they brought 1,500 people. After their death, many of their gene seeds could not be recovered, and more than 800 were collected, all in the hands of Wang Mengsong, and they landed in the hands of the Alliance.

Of course, Wang Mengsong certainly couldn’t believe it all. Although the numbers were roughly the same, how could the selection of reserves, implantation surgery, and superhuman organ growth be done so quickly?

But Gu Hang would let their pharmacists check these new gene seeds to ensure that they were completely homologous to their own, without any problems.

What if they still don’t believe it?

Believe it or not.

To be honest, giving those old torches an explanation would be giving them face. If you don't believe it, then don't believe it. What else do you want after joining the Death Company?

There are still a thousand places, which will be put into the new Fury.

The Alliance actually recovered hundreds of seeds from Fury's body, but Gu Hang just sealed them up and didn't use them.

As for the Fury's Legion, what to do with the old feud between the Phoenix Legion - that's too simple.

There are some things that Gu Hang can confess directly to Martin.

Rage Flame was killed, there is no more Rage Flame.

It's just a skin.

When it is no longer needed in the future, Rage Flame can be truly destroyed in name at any time.

...

It didn't take Gu Hang a lot of time to deal with these things.

After the big ideas and tone were set, the specific implementation details were handed over to the "Camp Management Office".

This is a brand new alliance organization, and it has not been established for a long time. They are not responsible for any decision-making work, but only for executing Gu Hang's will, and the goal is to fully cooperate with the needs of various regiments.

This is not an independent organization, but a subsidiary of Gu Hang's Governor's Office, which specializes in such work.

They will coordinate with the Alliance's Biological Research Institute to receive all gene seeds; they will cooperate with the Alliance's Military and Political Department to select the soldiers Gu Hang needs, arrange operations, and assign personnel to the two new regiments...

As the alliance grows bigger, Gu Hang has no time to deal with more and more things personally.

What's more, he does have another very important thing at the moment.

He went to his and Ye Lixia's master bedroom, where a crib was next to it.

Taking the bottle from the nanny, Gu Hang fed the baby himself.

He didn't have much experience in this area, but he had mastered the techniques of holding and feeding the baby quite well.

At this moment, of course, he was feeding his own baby.

Ye Lixia laughed beside him.

"Why are you laughing so happily?"

Ye Lixia replied, "I used to imagine many futures, becoming a general, commanding a fleet, and destroying the enemies of the empire... Only this scene was not in my expectation."

"Being a mother?"

"Not only that." The smile on Ye Lixia's face became warmer and warmer, "Of course I have thought about becoming a mother and giving birth to offspring. I just didn't think that quietly watching my husband holding our child by my side would be so happy."

Gu Hang held the child and kissed her on the face.

...

Warmth and leisure are ultimately just appearances. What cannot be ignored is that this scene happened in a battleship like the 'Burning Star'.

It is not uncommon for a new life to be born on a battleship. There are more than 400,000 people stationed on the Fire Star, and many of them have families on the ship. After all, they may drift on the ship for many years.

Although the Alliance has been trying to reduce the situation of being on the ship for a lifetime, from birth to death. The crew has a hiring period, a salary, and a rank in the Alliance. When the time is up, they can choose to renew or retire, but few choose to retire. The proportion of choosing to retire will be relatively high if they are injured or too old.

However, due to the long-term nature of space travel, there are still many cases of crew members forming families on the ship. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, which is equivalent to a city. Most of the things that normal cities have, starships also have.

Even including kindergarten-primary school-middle school.

Of course, this was established by the Alliance, and there is no such thing on ordinary imperial ships.

Many people start a family on the ship, and then work for a period of time. While the ship is resting somewhere, they will choose to retire or some of the family members will retire. The mother or father takes the children, leaves the ship, survives on the spot, or takes the ship back to his hometown.

To avoid misfortunes in future wars, the entire family will be wiped out.

These are relatively humane measures taken by the Alliance. To be honest, it is hard to say whether the efficiency has been improved, but Gu Hang thinks it is right.

Everyone lived like this before the Alliance came, and everyone still lives like this after the Alliance came. Then didn’t the Alliance come in vain?

In this sense, Gu Hang and Ye Lixia are also like a family that has been formed, and their children were also born on the ship.

Even the dilemma of why they did this is the same.

Gu Hang and Ye Lixia decided to have a child.

It’s not for any other reason, such as the Alliance needs an heir.

In fact, it is not necessary.

Gu Hang may be fifty-seven years old this year. But his physical condition and appearance are still the same as that of the young man back then. He doesn’t know if he is now considered an immortal, but at least, the psychic power is reflected on his body, and he himself does not feel the decline of his body at all. He estimates that he may have no problem living for thousands of years.

The life span issue does not bother him too much.

Even when his life was about to end, he still had one last trick: become a god right here. Embrace the warp, embrace the Storm Kingdom that now belonged to him completely, abandon his human nature, become a lesser god in the warp, and he would be immortal forever.

Of course, he would not do this until the last one.

Such a Gu Hang did not need an heir that much.

Ye Lixia was not worried about her life span. Although she was a few years older than Gu Hang, her real age was already over sixty. However, she had undergone the first life extension surgery early on, and she had at least two hundred years of life and eternal youth; she could undergo at least three more life extension surgeries in the future, which could extend her life to five hundred years.

Neither of them had such an urgent need for offspring.

Wanting a child was just a private decision made by the two of them as a couple.

This decision may bring some political significance, but they both agreed that it was not the most important thing. They were just completing something that they both recognized at a certain stage in their lives as a supplement to their lives.

As for the incidental things, for example, in the next ten or twenty years, Gu Hang and Ye Lixia will have a "prince" who can make them feel most at ease, to participate in political activities as a senior member of the alliance; as the leader of the alliance, the symbolic significance of Gu Hang's family integrity for the entire alliance society; to give some civilians stability, at least if Gu Hang is gone one day, the alliance will also have an heir...

Let these benefits take their course.

As for if the baby is raised to be useless... it is not impossible.

But the impact will not be too great. After all, Gu Hang does not need a real heir. If he is really useless, then he will just go and be raised like a pig by the rich second generation. This is Gu Hang's last kindness to his descendants.

Of course, as a father, Gu Hang still does not want this to happen.

He named the child, and the single word "Jing" still carries Gu Hang's expectations.

…

When Gu Hang was happy for his offspring, the war situation was still developing.

The southern front was actually relatively calm.

Although many planets were fighting, two war groups broke out on Huanyue Star and eventually perished... No, it was a battle of surrender.

However, overall, there was no major battle.

The Alliance still implemented Gu Hang's will, which was to wait for a year and a half.

Not only building ships, but also new space warriors, seed implantation, and superhuman organ growth also require time.

Just wait and it will be done.

For this reason, Gu Hang did not want to particularly stimulate Tiekai or Alfonzo.

The Alliance only occupied the passage from the Proud Claw Star Region to the Nepeta Star Region and the Alfonzo Star Region. They were not in a hurry to take the other side.

And Humphrey Paul did not transfer the main force to the south. He just strengthened the defense of the Nepeta Star Region, and handed the Alfonzo Star Region to the Mechanicus. The main force of the war group is still on the western front.

The situation that the masters on Holy Terra were most worried and afraid of did not happen. The Iron Armored Regiment, which won the key battle, did not attack the central territory of the empire. They only locked a few important planets in the Tianwang Universe and did not advance further. Instead, they turned to attack other star regions in the vast Magre Universe.

The senior officials on Holy Terra breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Iron Armored's actions in the Magre Universe were in full swing and no one could stop them, a large number of planets fell rapidly. But the way of exchanging space for time was exactly what they expected.

The empire lacked everything, but it did not lack a vast territory.

But Gu Hang still felt strange.

Why did they invade and capture the planets in the Magre Universe on a large scale?
