Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 72 Procedural Justice
"Sage Donnia, I would like to ask, is it easy to get the production license for the Servant Mecha?" Chen Xi asked Donnia.

The two of them were currently walking in a small forge connected to the starport. This place had been taken over by the technical priests brought by Tonya, who were basically all of Olivia's former technical team.

Olivia has truly taken control of this forge, allowing it to achieve sufficient production efficiency. It is now fully committed to producing weapons and equipment for the defense forces of Rostov II.

Walking on the rumbling production line and looking at the flowing hot molten metal, Tonya was in a very good mood.

Any believer in the God of All Things who sees such a scene will not be able to help but praise the God of All Things with joy.

So in response to Chen Xi's question, she simply replied casually, "If you need it, not to mention servants, even the production license for patrol knights is easy to get.

But how do I put this thing..."

Tonya walked to a platform, below which was a pipeline transporting molten metal. Feeling the temperature emitted by the hot molten metal, Tonya couldn't help but raise her arms and chant a binary prayer to praise Om Messiah.

After doing all this, she continued, "The Mechanicus doesn't strictly control the Knight Mechs. The feudal nobles of the Knight World can exchange Knight Mechs from the Empire as long as they pay a tithe. The Mechanic Knights are similar, although they mostly hand over their subjects themselves.

So it is easy to get the Knight Mecha, but the rules and procedures cannot be wrong.

The nobles of the Knight World pay tithes to the Empire or the Mechanicus or obey orders in exchange for knight mechas. This process is absolutely not allowed to have any deviations.

You can spend money to buy knight mechas for the Linguang family. It doesn't matter how many you buy. You can even appoint a group of "knights" yourself and put them on the Iron Throne, as long as they can gain the Iron Throne's recognition."

Dongnia turned and looked at Chen Xi seriously, saying to him solemnly, "However, the Mechanicus will not allow you to produce knights yourself and then provide them to the Knights' families. This breaks the Olympia Agreement signed between the Mechanicus and the Emperor, and is a very serious heresy."

"Even if I get a production license, it's not allowed?" Chen Xi was not surprised by this result, but he was still very curious about how the Mechanicus would deal with the matter if he got a production license.

However, facing his question, Tonya laughed, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "This is the crux of the matter, Your Excellency the Governor, what do you mean by you have obtained permission?

The forge sold by Mariupol Foundry World and the production license given were all given to Ovelia.

Although she is a technological heretic, she still retains the status of a sage. If I hadn't helped you build this forge and purchased it in the name of Olivia, Mariupol Forge World would never have sold it to you.

So, Your Excellency, Governor, do you understand the key point here?"

"A reasonable status must at least be legal in terms of procedures, am I right?" Chen Xi understood what Tonya meant, and at the same time he also reflected on whether he was being a little reckless.

Although Chen Xi's identity as a judge allows him to do things without having to follow the rules, there are some things that are indeed taboos that cannot be crossed.

Of course, this was only limited to superficial compliance with procedures and justification. After all, whether it was the Inquisition or the Mechanicus, everyone was actually not very clean behind the scenes. If they really broke off relations, no one would be able to resolve the situation.

So after Chen Xi spoke, Dong Niya nodded and said, "It's like this, you can say that you invested in Olivia, bought a forge for her, obtained various production licenses, or let her 'research and develop' certain products.

But on the surface she must still be a member of the Mariupol Forge World, or at least a member of the Mechanicus.

After all, according to the Olympia Accords, even if a planetary governor wants to build a factory to produce weapons and equipment, it must be supervised by the clergy of the Mechanicum and ensure that everything complies with the sacred teachings of the Om Messiah.

"I understand. I will grasp the scale in this." Chen Xi understood what Dong Niya meant. He didn't say anything more, but just expressed his gratitude politely.

"Uncle, the Governor has sent three new knight mechas!" Maria rushed into her uncle's study and loudly informed him of the news she had just learned.

"Maria, how many times have I told you that as a knight of the Linguang family, you should be more mature and steady!" Mainna scolded Maria for her disrespectful behavior, then stood up leisurely and asked, "You said the Governor sent three new knights? What's going on?"

Maria took a breath and then explained to Mainna, "I was just helping the people build houses with my servants when I saw a transport ship coming from the starport. I contacted them and was told that the Governor-General had ordered a batch of knights from the Mariupol Forge World. This first batch of three will be donated free of charge to the Linguang Family."

"Your Excellency the Governor wants to give three knights to the Linguang family for free?" Mainna was also quite surprised.

Three knights, this is not a small number.

Even during the heyday of the Linguang family, the three knights were a considerable asset. Losing the family's long cavalry would cause great grief for a long time, let alone giving it away for free.

"That's what they say," Maria replied.

Mainna frowned and thought.

The three knights are like timely help to the Linguang family, increasing the number of knights in the family from four to seven.

Although the Linguang family had a glorious history of hundreds of knights during its heyday, seven knights was still very impressive. Even some smaller families with a little more strength might not have so many knights.

The seven knights can be organized into two or three attack groups, forming an attack spearhead to win merit in a battlefield that is not too fierce.

It can be said that this is of great significance to the revival of the Linguang family!
But Mainna never believed that there were favors without reason in this world. The planetary governor had given too much to the Linguang family, but asked very little from them, which made Mainna feel a little uneasy.

Rather than accepting favors, Maena would rather exchange the family's revival through the efforts of herself and her two nieces, rather than accepting favors from others for free.

Thinking of this, he said to Maria, "Send a thank you to His Excellency the Governor, and ask if there is any service the Linguang Family can provide."
