Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 467: Even Bugs Can Dig Trenches Better Than You

During Taylor's time on Macragge, he had once participated in the Ultima Segmentum's commander evaluation, which took place every 36 standard Terran years, and had driven all his enemies into retreat with his improvisation and defensive battles.

This matter is related to his short-term evaluation, and generally speaking, he will get a lot of benefits.

This was enough to make people excited, especially since he had not yet achieved his glorious military exploits during the Plague War and was in urgent need of proving himself in Macragge, where there were many talented people.

After all, if a person who has just come from the countryside wants to gain a foothold in the capital, he needs to achieve quite exaggerated results, just like in the capital, only the top scholar can attract people's attention.

But this does not mean that he is an unknown person who participated in the awakening of the Primarch and the fall of Cadia. To be precise, most people just don't believe his resume, rather than thinking that he is a weak person.

This was also the part of the test that he remembered most vividly, because his fame was so exaggerated, and Guilliman really wanted to have fun at that time.

So, he was placed at the table of the Space Marine Chapter Master...

Of course, this made the strategic and operational aspects of the competition quite challenging, especially since Taylor's opponents were both supercomputers and battle-hardened warriors.

But the most serious thing is that those Space Marines are all chapter commanders who inherited the genes of the Ultramarines from all over the world, and their lowest evaluation is almost the highest evaluation of human commanders!
But Taylor still relied on his own special means to obtain a map of the battlefield terrain and completed the relevant deployment three months ago.

In short, it's just 20 throne coins and a dinner with a hungry and powerful examiner.

Of course, he is by no means the only one with a map, nor is he the best at defensive warfare among those supermen.

But Taylor has a trick that allows him to win big with small, to defeat the strong with the weak, and even when his experience and reaction speed are far inferior to his enemy, he can still get enough reaction time.

That's the trench.

This thing has existed since the beginning of human civilization and the era of hot weapons. It does not have any very strong technical properties and is not necessarily very advanced.

But trenches equal defense, equal tactical depth, equal versatility.

Let's put it this way, it's like white rice, you can match it with anything, there are almost no taboos in terms of tactics, and it's extremely cost-effective. All you need to make it are soldiers and a shovel.

Frankly speaking, if there is any war that can represent human civilization, it may not be guns, planes or tanks, but trenches and the bunkers that provide defense with them.

Yes, Taylor used this as a benchmark in the history of human warfare, and he had an almost superstitious idea about it, but every time the trench answered him, it ended with victory and reliability.

This thing works, at least as far as Taylor's idea goes.

After his risky attack successfully broke the core of the Zerg, the pressure on his defense during this period was no longer too great.

Therefore many intricate and effective defensive devices were put up.

In particular, the reliable and durable trenches, as well as the low-quality radiation-proof suits and semi-enclosed bunkers made by a large number of greenskins, successfully allowed the Krieg people to barely breathe the air on the surface.

Although the radiation was still lethal, it was actually unable to cause irreversible physical damage to the Krieg people within a few hours.

Given that Taylor has been insisting on the so-called humanitarian spirit like a psychopath, he has actually been providing the Krieg people with enough delicious food and spiritual support.

Of course, such behavior is considered ineffective and wasteful. Even some more radical Kriegs will express their resistance to their supreme ruler by standing still for three minutes.

In general, it's like an angry little mouse, or rather, the Krieg are underground rats that never see the sun.

However, they still believe that high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as cream cheese and fried foods, can quickly replenish calories, so they are keen on those things.

But it’s definitely not because they taste good, because after they calculate that they have consumed enough calories, they will throw themselves into the war tirelessly.

Some of the veterans who followed Taylor commented that it was a waste to feed them normal food, but Taylor didn't care.

His fleet was constantly bringing in supplies, so even if the population doubled, he could still feed the Kriegs. The problem was that progress on the trenches hadn't been smooth.

The first was that the Kriegs could not dig trenches. Those experts in digging and defense were now people who could not work on the surface for long.

This is mainly because Taylor believes that under the current circumstances, it is obviously not cost-effective for the Kriegs to dig trenches for a long time.

Taylor wouldn't be able to sleep at night if loyal Krieg men died for such a ridiculous reason.

This was his personal appeal, although the Krieg people had secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with this, and someone even wrote a standard Imperial written document to express their dissatisfaction.

You know, the standard for imperial written documents is about 32 pages, and a lot of the content is cumbersome, complicated and unnecessary.

But such a complex document represents the highest priority of the empire. If it is completed, it means that the Military Council must approve and investigate it.

However, the exaggerated information required for a standard Imperial military affairs report makes most people shy away from it. Even the most strict and loyal veterans will only fill in about half of the required information.

Therefore, when Taylor saw this message, he couldn't help but swear.

"My old emperor!"

"I've lived long enough to see everything! Is this a complete Imperial written document?"

Taylor wanted to dig out his eyeballs and put them on the thing, carefully observing it to see if there were any typos or carelessness.

However, after quickly reading a few lines, Taylor threw this thing to the clerical workers. Otherwise, there would be no need to continue to support those guys.

At least that's what Taylor thought.

But before dealing with this meeting, Taylor suddenly noticed that the reports from the front were becoming increasingly strange.

After all, the trenches had been tended by the greenskins during this time, and he trusted those dark green guys.

But during this period, the trenches dug by those guys began to have problems, such as not burying enough, being too deep, too shallow, or lacking storage area.

In contrast, Taylor quickly discovered during his patrol that there was a perfect trench opposite his own trench, with a beautiful S-shape, a perfect communication trench, a rest area and defensive works.

The shadows moving around inside are not humans, but insects.

Thinking of this, Taylor angrily cursed the green-skinned boy who was waving a shovel next to him.

"You bastard!"

"The bugs on the other side are digging prettier things than yours!"

But Taylor soon realized something was wrong and let out a sigh.

"Ok?"

　They have already introduced each other to their parents

　　The biggest problem is, what about the other two girls...

　　The two of them will not accept other men, and they are both wealthy women...

　　Then I chatted with my wife and forgot to write it. I may post the chapter later today.
