Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 78 Tribunal Branch

Gao Yi's psychic perception heard their whispers.

The representative of the Merchant Dynasty who came said that Gao Yi was lucky enough to discover the lost technology.

People in the same industry really can't stand seeing each other's success.

But at the same time, he was also saying that he should avoid provoking others and make friends with them in the future, which was exactly the effect Gao Yi wanted to achieve.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in combat uniforms are no joke.

Once these soldiers land on any planet, they will be a decisive force.

And the number of soldiers continues to expand.

After a meeting that lasted a whole day, Gao Yi returned to his palace, feeling exhausted.

He had never dealt with so many people in his life. He needed to build good relationships with all of them, but he couldn't be weak in momentum.

But the result is good after all, and trade agreements are reached through dialogue and negotiation.

After the barracks' output increased, he also had enough combat uniforms to trade with various forces at the same time.

The trade volume of combat uniforms with various forces has reached 5000 sets per month, but not many are distributed to various forces. This is the result of his deliberate control of the quantity. After all, if he really goes at full speed, the combat uniforms will be cheaper.

Gao Yi was not worried that the market would be saturated. The battle with Ji Zei made him realize that combat uniforms were not invincible, nor could they make soldiers immune to all damage. In the Kronus expansion, the invasion of Chaos was also everywhere, and the attacks of aliens were countless.

Wars of higher intensity are also not uncommon.

The exploration of unknown star regions is extremely dangerous. Combat suits will be damaged and consumed. This is a long-term business, and the wealth earned will be used to improve the life of Agathos and purchase warships.

The pioneer fleet of the Adeptus Mechanicus had even tried to imitate the combat uniforms, but they found that the yield rate was low and the cost was not cost-effective... In the end, they gave up on mass production.

In addition to the conventional trade in materials and minerals, the trade in population and soldiers also accounted for a large part.

The surrounding merchant dynasties are happy to exchange the excess population on their planets for powerful equipment.

In a hive world, countless people die of starvation every day, and the number of births is incalculable. Instead of letting them die without any sense of existence, it is better to let them bring greater benefits.

And those who were chosen didn't even know they were lucky.

A larger personnel employment agreement was also reached with the Imperial Navy. Even though Gao Yi had already implemented policies encouraging childbirth in Agathos and opened academies for training, it would still take a long time for these people to grow into qualified soldiers.

However, the popularity of one thing far exceeded Gao Yi's expectations.

That is the mark drawn by Pavian and other priests. After seeing the effect of this thing, almost all forces have the desire to buy it.

In particular, the representatives from the Mechanicus Exploration Fleet directly called out to Om Messiah and even frankly stated that they would send people to conduct an investigation. Of course, this was not free, and discounts were offered on the purchase prices of minerals and warships.

However, Gao Yi was more interested in the warship construction technology.

Gao Yi has no intention of prohibiting this kind of investigation. After all, the working principle of SCV is not technology, so everything can only be attributed to theology. Maybe it can attract more scientific research talents for him!

The more incredible it is, the more it will attract this group of fanatical scientific lunatics.

This also allowed Pavian's branch of the Holy Machine of Faith, which was established not long ago, to spread to the expanded area.

Gao Yi also reached an agreement with the Ministry of Military Affairs that no one could have imagined.

Gao Yi will select 10000 people to form an army that can be hired and dispatched by the Ministry of Military Affairs. The price is to give the dynasty the organization of a star army and provide it with various supplies needed for combat.

These soldiers will all wear combat uniforms made of ceramic steel and will be rotated by personnel from various units of the dynasty. This army will not participate in struggles within the empire or dynasty, but can participate in battles against aliens and chaos.

Firstly, Gao Yi wanted to hone his soldiers to gain experience and select more elite soldiers. Secondly, it was to earn more psychic crystals. After all, these crystals were obtained by purifying the corruption of the subspace.

This can also indirectly expand the dynasty's influence in the expanded area.

The size of this army will continue to expand, and various equipment from the interstellar space will gradually be put into this force.

He would have infantry regiments, armored regiments, his own air force, his own fleet, and even Titans. Everyone would be amazed at the wealth of this legion. The Imperial Military Affairs Department was very happy to accept it. Why not get a powerful force that could solve problems for free?

Let other wandering merchants come and see what enlightenment and loyalty are.

The noble wandering merchant Gao Yi Mengte is worthy of being the living saint of the Divine Emperor!
Soon after Gao Yi returned to the palace, an uninvited guest came up to him, and Ian was walking beside that person.

"Isn't this Inquisitor Derek? I was wondering why I didn't see any representatives from the Inquisition just now. I didn't expect the Inquisition to invite a high-ranking Inquisitor like you to attend."

"Lord Gao Yi, I never thought that you would end the dynasty's rebellion in such a short time since we last met at the Dockyard, and that it has even escalated to this point. It seems that the Mongert Dynasty will flourish to unprecedented heights under your leadership. However, I am not here just to attend the ceremony. I also brought an appointment from the Inquisition."

Derek said as he looked at Ian beside him, but his eyes were not so friendly.

Derek didn't attend just now because he went to review the achievements reported by Ian.

Derek knew this judge very well, as he had worked under him for more than ten years.

Eliminated a corrupted Rogue Trader dynasty, and also eliminated a cunning Tyranid who had corrupted a planet?

Derek knew that Ian himself could not have such strength, and the only explanation was that Gao Yi in front of him was helping him.

But the bodies of Cantor and the black oil man were both there, and the body of the thief chieftain was even more real. But the only thing Derek couldn't understand was why there was only a skeleton left of the thief chieftain.
After all the evidence was checked, Derek had to accept this fact.

"Lord Gao Yi, I didn't expect that Ian and you have such a good relationship after just a short time on your ship. Thank you for helping my Inquisitor eliminate these enemies of humanity."

"What do you mean by 'I helped him'? It should be Inquisitor Ian who helped me. Without his help, how could I have seen through the disguises of these aliens and Chaos? The Inquisition shouldn't suppress the merits of those who are so loyal to the Empire, right?!"

"Hmph, the Inquisition will not do such a thing."

Derek was feeling extremely frustrated. He had clearly wanted to place a spy in Dynasty, but now it was clear that Ian was leaning towards Gao Yi.

Although he knew that it was Gao Yi who gave the credit to Ian, Derek, as a high-level judge, was helpless.

Mobilizing forces that do not belong to the Inquisition to complete tasks is something the Inquisition often does. He even asked Bishop Holt here and got the same answer.

Holt even said that Ian killed a traitorous Astartes.

Good guy, another achievement.

"Ian, congratulations! You won't have to serve under me anymore. The Grand Inquisitor has agreed to your request to establish a branch of the Inquisition in Agathos."

Although he didn't understand the Grand Inquisitor's decision, Derek had no choice but to accept it.

"Thank you for your training, Lord Derek. Without you, I would not have been able to join the Inquisition! For the sake of the Divine Emperor and the Inquisition, I will cooperate closely with Lord Gao Yi and better fulfill my duties."

"Humph!"

After saying that, Derek did not stay any longer and left Gao Yi's palace directly.

"Ian, congratulations."

"All this is thanks to your help."

"But I heard that it was Derek who brought you into the courtroom?"

"It's true that he brought me into the Inquisition, but he also personally sent me to the Black Ship... I still remember how difficult my time there was. Later, he discovered that I could control my psychic powers to a certain extent, so he selected me and sent me to the Psychic Academy. Essentially, he was just looking for a tool."

"At least now you can control your own destiny, Ian. I can give you certain authority to mobilize the Rangers. The task of preventing and eradicating corruption in my capital world is now in your hands!"

Gao Yi patted Ian's shoulder.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

After solving these problems, Gao Yi immediately returned to his room to check the system interface.
