Chapter 387, Fachus Coup
Salikhovich raised his head and said to Minnick, who was sitting at the top of the palace throne:
"Mr. Minnick, the alliance has been friendly to Farches from the beginning to the end. Ever since the Blackbird Heavy Industries incident, we have formed a friendship."
"We have indeed promised to provide political and economic support to Faqisi, and we have also promised not to make direct military threats to Faqisi Samsung."
"However, although we are extremely sympathetic to Fachus's plight, we never said we would support Fachus in launching a rebellion against the Empire! You can recall every signed document between us!"
He said this firmly.
He may have said that he supported Faches' tough stance, but he rarely said that rebellion was allowed, and it was absolutely impossible to leave any documents.
There won't be any such handle.
Minnick's face is completely black.
He knew Salikhovich was right. He had previously wanted to explicitly sign a document with similar words, or quietly add similar words to certain documents, but all such attempts were blocked and failed to come true.
Both Salihovich and the league itself are very careful about this.
Salihovich spread his hands and started to run the train: "We have never agreed to your unreasonable requests. Even if your family has shown its disobedience, the Alliance is still providing you with resources and transporting supplies. I urge you to calm down and exercise restraint."
"But you have consistently turned a deaf ear to the coalition's warnings."
This was indeed fart, and even Minnick was so angry that he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while - there were too many flaws. Putting aside everything else, if you are transporting supplies, encouraging and persuading at the same time, isn't that just fanning the flames when lighting them?
When persuading me, I told you how disgusting the district government is and that no one can bear it, but you still have to bear it?
Salikhovich seemed to know that what he said was a bit outrageous, but he still continued without changing his expression:
"All the promises and support of the alliance are based on the fact that we are all subjects of the empire and we are all fighting for the empire. And when you betray this principle, all the agreements lose their preconditions. Instead In other words, you are the first to betray the alliance!"
"I didn't betray the Empire! We were just fighting against the Sector..."
"No, the Empire says you are traitors."
Salihovich paused and continued to speak cold words:
"I reiterate to you the request from the empire and Governor Gu: The Faches family must surrender unconditionally and hand over the three imperial worlds to Governor Gu Hang. You, as well as all the people mentioned on the list, need to Be judged by the Inquisition."
"Only in this way can war and destruction be avoided."
"Don't even think about it!" Minnick's old body suddenly burst out with great strength. He stood up and threw a wine glass at his hand towards Salihovich.
It missed, but hit the diplomat at his feet.
Minnick was still roaring: "Then let Gu Hang come, let those brats from your alliance come! I will let you see the bloody nature of the Fachus people! You dirty traitors, lying backstabbers, Allies will bear the most terrifying wrath of Falches in the orbit of Falches and on the surface of Falches! Your blood will flow all over the ground here, and your corpses will fill every front. You will definitely get your head smashed and bleed, and you will pay the price for everything you have done!"
"Now, get out of here! Get out of my sight before I have the last bit of sanity and won't be as dirty as you Alliance people and won't kill the envoy!"
Salikhovich sighed, with a strange, unpredictable expression on his face.
"What a pity..."
He bowed slightly to Minnick, and then touched his belt.
Then, a brilliant blue light filled Minnick's vision.
Of course he could realize that something was wrong, but the dazzling psychic light caused severe pain in his eyes. He couldn't help but scream, but he didn't even hear it.
Because, his screams were muffled by the louder sound of bolt guns.
These gunshots came very intensively, but very briefly.
Then he heard some very heavy footsteps.
Minnick couldn't help but raise his head, and his tearful, still stinging eyes reflected a tall figure covered in bright red and armored.
"No, this is impossible..."
He knew what it was—a phoenix space marine.
But why is it here?
He had received information before, and he knew that Gu Hang had an unknown number of interstellar warriors working for him for no apparent reason. He even got the case of the war that took place on the Black Arrow Star, and knew that Gu Hang, after receiving the support of the Psychic Order, established a so-called 'Storm Mage Group', which had the ability to teleport. ability.
The combination of the two powers can deliver top elite troops such as Space Marines to wherever they want to be delivered. This is a very terrifying decapitation strike ability.
Because of this, of course he will pay careful attention to protecting himself.
There are also psykers in his palace, who he spent a lot of money to dig out and secretly cultivated a team of psykers.
They will provide reliable psychic protection for Minnick and many of the Farches family dignitaries in the center of power.
The assassin will be caught as soon as possible during the invasion;
As for psychic teleportation, that is the focus of prevention. Not only is there a psionic team doing this, Faches also bought a special anti-teleportation device two years ago, making their anti-psionic teleportation methods stronger.
If the teleportation is initiated from space, no matter how many or how powerful psykers are involved in the teleportation work, they will be seriously interfered with. If it is deflected and thrown into space at the least; or even if it gets lost in the subspace, the end will be miserable.
Even if the target of the teleportation is not the Era Palace, but any place on the surface, it will be interfered; even if the interference is unsuccessful, at least it will be detected that someone has teleported towards the surface.
There are even plans within the Fachers family. As long as spiritual energy is sensed and transmitted to the surface, Faches will immediately disband the central structure of Faches after knowing about it, and the 'brain' of the entire family will be dispersed on the spot and distributed to various places on the entire planet. The fear is that Beheaded.
In fact, they didn't have to wait for the moment when psychic teleportation occurred. They had already done this from the moment Fachus expelled the imperial tax collectors.
However, there is no real threat in a short period of time, so it is not considered urgent.
But why are there still space warriors being teleported in front of him?
Obviously there was no information sent to the surface, so how did these space warriors come to Farches?
Minnick didn't know.
The red-armored giant in front of him obviously had no interest in telling him the answer.
There was no intention of even letting him live.
The pitch-black muzzle was aimed at his head. "etc..."
"Boom."
His chest was completely turned into mush.
Salikhovich looked around and saw that there were twenty-three Space Marines coming out of the teleportation circle. The moment they appeared, they killed everyone in the palace except Salikhovich.
From the guards, to Minnick himself, the leader of the Fachers family.
Originally, Salihovich was still considering whether to save Minnick's life.
After all, if there is a living leader of the Fachers family who can be put on trial, it will definitely have more symbolic meaning than reporting a death and bringing back a head.
However, Salihovich thought again, to prevent the old Minnick from saying something he shouldn't have said after he went to trial alive, it would be better to shut him up forever.
Killing Minnick is just the first step. What happens here in the center of the palace is far from over.
But Salikhovich's work is temporarily over. Next, he needs to stay here in the palace and wait for someone to arrive.
Before that, the current commander of the Phoenix, Captain Diego Carduso, was the protagonist.
He is one of the century-old veterans of the Phoenix Chapter, and one of the four surviving Phoenixes out of the seven who came to the Raging Owl. Now he has become the captain of the first company of the Phoenix, commanding one hundred Space Marines.
His company, and half of the storm mages led by Therese, came to Farches 1 many months ago.
The Alliance knows that it is impossible for the Fachers family not to be on guard against the psychic teleportation methods that the Alliance has already revealed. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the Space Marines and psykers hid on the Alliance's transport ship transporting supplies to Falches and smuggled over.
In fact, if there were risks without a force attack, they would rather not use teleportation now. There are a small number of combat soldiers in the palace, as well as fixed automatic turrets. These may not be able to stop the Space Marines from attacking, but it can easily cause them to waste some time, and if Minnick runs away in the end, that would be bad.
The number of Phoenix warriors who carried out this teleportation was actually fifty, but only 22 were in place.
This is because this teleportation operation was conducted very close to the Palace of the Times; moreover, Salikhovich also carried a locator made by Governor Gu Hang himself on his belt.
It is precisely because of the superposition of the two that this transmission can be successful.
But still under interference, 28 people were lost.
But the good news is that at least no one dispersed too far, and no one was lost in the subspace. The remaining 28 people were in other places in the palace, and the sound of gunfire could already be heard at this moment.
In this case, they had already planned before taking action.
Carduso allowed Salikhovich to stay here in peace and left ten warriors to protect him and guard the core area of the palace.
A large number of guards in the palace, as well as a small number of combat soldiers, had already reacted and began to rush here. The mission of the ten Phoenixes is to defend this place.
As for himself, he took the initiative with twelve other people.
The Palace of the Times is not only the residence of the contemporary head of the Faches family and their immediate family members, it is also the core of the rule.
Even though the Fachus people have evacuated some of their senior officials to other places, just to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop. But at this moment, it is always good to go to the front hall and the offices of those Faches officials to catch one more person, eliminate one more person, and create more chaos.
By the way, the scattered phoenixes were also gathered together.
At present, in the city where the Era Palace is located, the capital city of Falches 1, there are not only the fifty space warriors in the palace active.
There are also fifty Phoenixes, divided into two parts, performing two different tasks.
This is related to two senior officials in the Fachus family.
One of them is the deputy commander of the Capital Guard and a lieutenant general in the Planetary Defense Force, named Bobby Fatchers. Thirty space warriors were stuffed into arms containers and sent to the capital guard barracks three days ago through his authority.
Today, the Phoenixes broke out to protect Bobby, and followed him to find the capital guard commander and another deputy commander.
When they were found, the two men had just given an order for the capital security forces to go to the palace area to eliminate the intruders and rescue the head of the family.
The Phoenixes executed the two generals.
Afterwards, Bobby Farches took over the Capital Military District and asked all troops to stand by and implement martial law on the spot and not to move rashly.
At the same time, he urgently contacted the officers who were returning to defense after receiving the order and asked them to return to the military camp.
The officer was immediately at a loss.
The major general realized something wasn't right, but he didn't know what to do.
But he soon found out.
An army of henchmen belonging to Bobby Farches turned their guns on them and scolded them for following the commander's orders.
After weighing the possibility of starting a fight with his brother troops on the streets of the capital, the officer did not make a drastic choice in the end. He really couldn't find anyone higher up to give him any orders, so that was all he could do.
In addition, there were twenty phoenixes, guarding a man named Pettus Fachers, who rushed towards the Palace of Time.
He can be regarded as the No. 8 figure in the Faches family and serves as the Minister of Commerce of the Faches regime.
There is a set of rules within the Fachers family, which clearly states that if the head of the family is in danger, dies, disappears, becomes disabled, is impeached... in short, if he is unable to perform his duties, then the young head of the family will succeed; if the young head of the family No, then he will be succeeded by the Chief of the Clan Council of Elders, and then the Marshal of the Planetary Defense Force... In this way, eighteen positions were written down in one breath, and they can be inherited in sequence.
At the same time, Faches also has family training that the above-mentioned people cannot gather together at the same time or place with more than two-thirds of the people, or take transportation to prevent being singled out.
And Petters, the Secretary of Commerce, is the eighth.
