Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 226: Guilliman's Gift, Rhodes Territory, Addition of Deputy Legion Commander and Brigade Commander

This internal meeting of the Ultramarines lasted for three full days and three nights. Robert Guilliman cordially received the captains, think tanks, chapter masters of all the chapters, and even some chapter masters who arrived later.

The Primarch showed enough concern for them all, taking care of almost all the members of the Successor Chapter.

After meeting with his genetic offspring, Robert Guilliman immediately began to meet with the dignitaries of Macragge and the nobles who kept coming from the world of Ultramar.

The deployment of military personnel from various empires, even in some areas outside the 500 worlds of Ultramar, many imperial officials and dignitaries were rushing to Macragge.

The Primarch, Robert Guilliman, greeted these Imperial dignitaries and high-ranking officials cordially, held friendly interviews with them, and began to learn all about the Empire from their mouths.

But after further understanding the detailed information about human beings in various places and the situation of each sub-group.

Guilliman's concern about the current state of the Human Empire has not only not improved, but has become even more worried.

The current human empire was in such a mess. He thought what Rhodes had said to him before might have been exaggerated.

But after talking with these genetic descendants, with the imperial dignitaries who came, and after checking the imperial documentary files on the Extreme Marines.

Only then did Robert Guilliman truly understand how serious Rhodes' words were. He even praised the current empire a little too much. The current empire is rotten to the core.

Rhode was extremely busy during this period and didn't even have the mood to look for Evelyne and Lalith.

Because with the help of Robert Guilliman, the Rogue Traders from the world of Ultramar 500 found a very suitable territory for Rhodes.

The location is in three galaxies next to Ultramar. One galaxy is completely undeveloped, and the other two galaxies were taken back from the aliens.

This was the first gift Robert Guilliman gave to Rhodes. This place was only about 500 light years away from the world of Ultramar 150. Rhodes' spaceship could travel back and forth quickly without having to go through the subspace channel.

The distance between the three galaxies is only a few light years, which is very close. There are four planets suitable for human survival here, and one of the galaxies has two habitable planets.

One planet is about the size of Mars, and the other is about the size of Venus.

Slightly smaller than Holy Terra, after some thought, Rhodes decided to use the Mars-sized planet as a hive world and the other as an agricultural world.

After all, growing food still requires a larger planet. The biggest function of the hive world is to produce population for the empire.

By building giant hive cities, this world can easily accommodate tens of billions of people, but it will require an even larger agricultural world to provide food.

Following Robert Guilliman's orders, billions of people who had been relocated from some of the nearby hive worlds of the Empire were sent there to live, with 2/3 of them going to the hives and 1/3 going to the agricultural worlds.

There was only one habitable planet in each of the remaining two galaxies. Rhodes selected one of the planets as the New Cadia for the Cadians to live on, and it was not fixed which world it would be.

The Cadians can develop freely, with no problem for agriculture, hive cities, and forging.

Rhodes selected 200 million men and 200 million women of appropriate age from among the Cadian soldiers, and deployed them all to the already established planet Cadia. According to Robert Guilliman, it would only take a few decades to recover.

Regarding the reconstruction of the Cadian planet, all forces in the empire were very generous, and even sent some of the remaining Cadians from all over the world to this new world planet.

As for the planet next to it, the atmosphere here is relatively thin and needs some transformation. After the transformation is completed, it will be used as a forging world.

Under the order of the Great Sage Belisarius, the Mechanicus also sent a fleet to transform this forge world, including Rhodes' three chief scientists.

He has gone to supervise the establishment of the Forging World. This Forging World will produce Mechanical Ultra Warriors and King Joe Robots in the future.

The remaining uninhabitable planets in these three galaxies have all been transformed into small mining worlds or outposts.
Robert Guilliman very generously exempted Rhodes from the tithe in these three galaxies, making them his territory forever, allowing him to explore outside the galaxy.

This is a completely undeveloped space. Of course, Rod's Orc Ranch has also been officially included as an experimental world, and other ships are not allowed to approach.

That's why Rhodes has been extremely busy these past few days. There are four habitable planets in three galaxies, and countless mineral planets to develop. There are so many things to do.

Damn it, it's more comfortable to be a hands-off boss. Rhodes really wants a suitable internal affairs personnel now. He can't stand doing it himself.

Rhode even seriously suspected that Robert Guilliman was looking for something for him to do because he was too idle. Fortunately, the Supreme Castle Lord Creed was also a talent in internal affairs, and he helped Rhode a lot. Even the Mefilas would help Rhode handle some government affairs remotely.

Even so, Rhodes was still extremely busy. He had to deal with various issues in the three galaxies every day, the handovers between various parts of the empire, the construction of cities, and the planning of all cities.

There are even some conscription tasks that require finding the right people to handle them.

After being strengthened by the monster, Rod's brain's computing power improved a lot, and he could just about handle it. If it was a normal little brain of a human before the time travel, Rod felt that his brain would explode.

After ten days, Rhodes had finally sorted out the affairs of the three galaxies. The worlds he didn't need to worry about were Forge World and New Cardia.

The former has three chief scientists, while the latter is done by the Cadians themselves. Rhodes is mainly busy with the establishment of the hive world and the agricultural world.

"It seems you are very busy. How does it feel to manage three galaxies?" Robert Guilliman smiled, walked in and said.

During this period, he deliberately tested the brain capacity of his new brother and found that it was indeed at the level of a normal Primitive. At least he was able to handle the problems of these planets.

You have to know that other Primarchs only deal with the affairs of one galaxy. Only Cruz has such a terrifying background of 500 worlds in Ultramar as he does.

It's already great that Rhodes can handle all the government affairs of three galaxies at one time.

"Haha! I've almost solved the small problem. By the time we set off for Holy Terra, it should be able to operate on its own in these three weeks." Rhodes said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Hahaha! You will get used to it slowly. I found that you actually have some talent in internal affairs." Guilliman patted Rhodes' shoulder and said.

"Tsk! I must set up a school for internal affairs, and then train various internal affairs talents. I would be an idiot if I continue to do it myself." Rhodes said.

This is really not a human job. How did Guilliman manage 500 worlds? Even more worlds, this guy seems to be able to handle it.

"When I have time, I will teach you some tricks that can help you manage better. In fact, you can divide the work, and you can also perform modular management. Some things can be combined into one." Robert Guilliman smiled and taught Rhodes his experience in internal affairs. When he was the same age as Rhodes, he didn't do as well as this kid!
"I understand! Then tell me about yourself! Is there anything you want to talk to me about this time?" Rhodes put down the documents in his hand, looked at Guilliman and asked.

"Rod, I really regret it now, and even hate my father a little bit. Why was it Sanguinius who died instead of me?

In this case, it will be Sanguinius who will face this mess." Robert Guilliman came to Rhodes with a tired look and began to complain.

"I can't help you with this. Now everyone in the empire is counting on you. You have to hold on." Rhodes said.

"Yes! I am the only one who can handle these matters. By the way, I came to you this time to discuss one thing with you, which is about the internal problems of the legion.

I will retain the positions of Chapter Master and Company Commander, and we, the Primarchs, will serve as the commanders of the legions.

Under the Legion Commander, there is the Chapter Master, and under the Chapter Master are the Captains, Adjutants, and NCOs." Robert Guilliman said.

As for pharmacists, priests, and think tanks, they are counted separately.

"A regiment has 1000 people, this will remain unchanged, but the selection and training of new recruits will all be the responsibility of the legion.

The Legion will then send new recruits to each chapter, so that the transformation operation of the Primaris Super Astartes can be effectively kept secret.

In the future, there will be at least hundreds of warband leaders, or even thousands, and there should be several positions above the warband leaders. "Rhode said.

"Okay, I am considering adding four deputy legion commanders and splitting all the chapters into four parts, which will be led by these four deputy legion commanders." Robert Guilliman thought for a while and said.

“No problem. We can also set up a brigade commander position. Each brigade commander will lead at least 10 regiments. There will be one brigade commander for 1 people, and 10 brigade commanders for 10 people.

The size of the future legion will not be less than 40 people, and ten brigade commanders will be managed by one deputy legion commander, which is just right.

The number of deputy legion commanders should not be fixed at four. One deputy legion commander should be added for every 10 soldiers. After all, our legions have more than 40 soldiers. "Rhode said.

Rhodes estimated that both his and Guilliman's legions would exceed one million, and they would need at least 10 deputy legion commanders in the future.
