Guilliman's words left Forge General Kren at a loss for words.
The face filled with gears and wires showed no expression.
The pair of mechanical eyes stared closely at the original body, and the computing module in the skull was running at high speed, with such high power that it was even slightly hot.
The Omnissiah prohibition is there.
Every mechanical priest claimed that he regarded it as a treasure and would never exceed the limit.
However, among the ten mechanical priests, nine of them definitely violated the prohibitions, and one was on the way to touching the taboo red line.
For the Mechanicus priests who are extremely thirsty for knowledge, the forbidden knowledge is like the whisper of the devil, tempting them all the time.
No one can resist this temptation.
Casting General Kren is even more unacceptable, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to sit in this position.
Over the centuries, he has been replacing his flesh and blood with mechanical prosthetics.
Of course, all Mechanicus followers will undergo similar operations.
The remodeling surgery that Cochrane performed was extremely crazy.
He even used his authority to obtain prosthetic parts that were considered heretical and installed them on himself.
There is also a forbidden artificial mechanical consciousness driven by the Thinker intelligence in the body.
This artificial mechanical consciousness gives Kren unimaginable computing power. He can control the information within the entire galaxy and project his consciousness into other machines at will.
However, non-flesh and blood type mechanical intelligence is absolutely forbidden.
It is one of the red lines that the emperor stipulates cannot be crossed.
During the Great Crusade, more than one human civilization that relied too much on intelligence was destroyed.
Looking at Guilliman's gaze, Kren finally lowered his head.
Once Mars sent people over to investigate, Karen knew that he would be exposed.
He would be branded a traitor to humanity and executed by the Inquisition.
Either obey the Primarch and live, and gain this heretical knowledge that is not supported by the STC standard template.
Either die as a traitor to the Empire and have all traces of him wiped out by the Mechanicus.
"All Mechanicus forces on the Steel Sphere Forge World will obey your orders."
Casting General Kren lowered his huge mechanical head.
Guilliman smiled. "This is exactly the news I was hoping for, Forge General. We will usher in a new era, and you will be remembered by future generations."
... ... ... ... ...
Using his own methods, Guilliman quickly won over the Forge General - Kren to his side and promoted reforms.
On the Imperial Army side, Guilliman used his power to summon all the senior officers of the Astra Militarum and announced at the meeting that he would take over all military appointments in the Charadon sector.
Guilliman's words shocked all the officers present.
After a moment of silence, countless questions came to the fore.
The officers couldn't believe that their rights were taken away by the Primarch.
They were indignant and extremely angry.
Not every high-ranking general is willing to sacrifice his own interests for the benefit of all mankind.
Everyone is loyal until their interests are harmed.
When their interests are violated, they turn hostile.
Guilliman was also very decisive.
He arrested those officers who were unwilling to comply and could not be persuaded.
Uproot the families behind these officers.
They were replaced with officers who were loyal to them.
"You are committing a shameful betrayal of the Empire. You are persecuting the loyal people of the Empire. You want to lay your hands on the Emperor's throne. You are a shameless and despicable fellow."
An old general roared at Guilliman before being taken away by the guards.
Such behavior angered the officers loyal to Guilliman.
Guilliman simply shook his head at this, power made them lose themselves.
Those who attempt to put personal interests above racial interests must be eliminated.
After completely controlling all human military forces in the Charadon star zone, the economic and institutional reforms were also very smooth. A group of nobles and merchants were sent to the punitive camp. The Chamber of Commerce loyal to him took over the trade shares left by those people and maintained the normal operation of the Charadon star zone.
Soon, the opposition voices in the Charadon sector disappeared without a trace.
... ... ... ... ... ..
Reception room.
Guilliman is signing off on the new administrative plan for the Charadon Sector regarding planetary governors, supreme courts, and checks and balances of the House of Representatives.
The human empire is too large, and adopting any system that has ever appeared in human society will have great drawbacks.
Dictatorship leads to inefficiency and people live in hardship.
Democracy brings corruption, a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and is easily seduced by chaos.
Guilliman can only use a mixture of dictatorship and democracy.
Each planet elects their planetary governor, judges, and senators, who are responsible for coordinating the needs between the empire and the planet, accepting the empire's technology, and providing the empire with soldiers, talents, resources, etc., and fulfilling the tasks assigned by the empire.
Guilliman also formulated assessments for multiple items including the planet's overall educational level, social morality, faith in the Emperor, and the planet's environment.
The survey is conducted every ten or twenty years.
Make sure that no good-for-nothing or idiot can take advantage of hereditary privileges to become a planetary governor.
The Guild of Traders loyal to Guilliman will also control the economies of various planets to ensure that no capitalist tycoons emerge on these planets.
Democracy is the system most easily corrupted by capital, and we must take precautions.
People on the planet will maintain a level of affluence, but no one will be too rich, and there will not be a terrifying gap between the rich and the poor.
Outside the planet, it is a dictatorship, and the opinions of the people cannot influence the overall policy of the empire.
Guilliman alone decides the future of humanity.
... ... ..
Just after signing the administrative reform plan, Sicarius, wearing blue power armor and always with his hand on the hilt of his sword, walked in with a heavy sound of footsteps.
"Captain Sicarius, I really hope you have good news for me." Guilliman handed the reform plan in his hand to the servo skull beside him and asked him to send it to the archive room and have it announced.
"My lord, a battle broke out at the side of Chapter Master Korvu, and an Ork fleet that invaded the Orb system was annihilated."
Sicarius pulled out a data storage device and inserted it into the projector on the table in the reception room.
The thinker in the reception room mechanically calculated the data brought by Sicarius. With a dull mechanical hum, the projector vibrated slightly.
The projected light quickly intertwined on the stage, showing the entire picture of the Aobo galaxy.
"He killed an orc boss and defeated the fleet." Sicarius clicked on the projection, causing data about the orc fleet that Captain Corvu resisted to appear on it.
"Orc Boss?" Guilliman asked.
"Yes, an orc boss. We have found detailed information about the orc warlord, the Arsonist. As an orc warlord, he has nine orc bosses under his command. The Mechanical Priest has also issued a warning to us. From the recent monitoring information, we know that these orcs are currently gathering and are likely to launch a so-called WAAAAGH."
Sicarius clicked several times in succession, and more information and data appeared on the projection.
“It’s getting worse and worse.”
Guilliman stared at the projection in front of him and shook his head.
