Warhammer: Starting as a Planetary Governor

Chapter 157 - 158: Urth’s Ten-Year Plan

Chapter 157: Chapter 158: Urth’s Ten-Year PlanThe email was from Kaul.

He requested to relocate his Mechanicus workshop from the upper hive to a larger facility in a new location.

The plan required an enormous amount of resources.

As Eden reviewed the attached resource list, he chuckled:

"Classic Kaul. Always pushing his luck."

Soon after, Kaul called directly, his voice dripping with flattery:

"Governor, did you review my proposal?

The silicon-based disguise technology project requires more advanced equipment, so building a larger Mechanicus workshop is absolutely necessary!"

Kaul was clearly aiming to secure massive funding for his pet project.

"I'm reviewing it," Eden replied. "But some of the listed resources seem... unrealistic. Let me give you a suggestion."

Kaul panicked, thinking this meant a budget cut. His tone became even more sycophantic:

"Please, Governor, I'm all ears! But I must emphasize that these are essential foundational facilities—they really can't be reduced further."

Eden shook his head with a chuckle.

"You're thinking too small, Kaul.

Asking for just this much? That's nowhere near enough!

Next time, don't bother submitting such miserly proposals, or I'll have to reprimand you."

Kaul was taken aback.

"So... you're saying I should... ask for more?"

In the past, funding requests were a battle. Kaul had to negotiate, compromise, and even inflate his initial numbers to secure enough resources.

To ensure he got what he needed, Kaul would often double his estimates. Even then, he only managed to secure slightly more than his actual requirements, gradually expanding his workshop.

Eden sighed:

"Of course! Kaul, let me criticize you—how can you achieve greatness if you're too timid to ask for proper funding?"

Kaul had no idea how much surplus Urth now had after their last conquest—a fleet and resources from multiple planets had filled every storage facility.

Excess minerals were dumped near the outskirts of the hive, forming a literal mountain of refined ore.

Eden was eager to consume these resources quickly and enhance Urth's strength.

With the Matira Campaign underway, Urth alone couldn't conquer the sector capital.

Matira was nearly three times the size of Urth, with dozens of hive cities and a population in the trillions.

Even with the Dream-class battleship, taking Matira's well-defended infrastructure required far more than a single ship.

Eden's goal wasn't to destroy Matira but to integrate and rule it.

To achieve this, he needed a powerful navy, a ground army, and a fully operational Adeptus Astartes Chapter.

All of this required extensive industrial infrastructure: training facilities, vehicle factories, and weapon manufacturing plants.

Kaul's proposal was a step in the right direction.

With a wave of his hand, Eden not only approved Kaul's relocation plan but also added significantly to the requested resources.

Kaul's workshop had long been an eyesore in the upper hive.

It clashed with the hive's architectural aesthetics, belched black smoke, and frequently experienced explosions.

The Spire Estate, Headquarters for the Interior Ministry, Ecclesiarchy, Inquisition, and Loyalist Academy,Housing for officials, academy trainees, and noble citizens.

The upper hive would undergo significant expansions and environmental enhancements, including:

City-wide greenery

Artistic architecture

Lakefront gardens.

Eventually, when the Little Sun grew stronger, a faint golden radiance would enshroud the upper hive, imbuing it with an aura of divine sanctity.

This transformation would turn the upper hive into a holy site, attracting resources and reverence from across the galaxy.

In time, it would become the city of dreams—a beacon of power, the ultimate aspiration for countless souls, and a paradise in the stars.

These plans were part of the Urth Ten-Year Plan, a comprehensive initiative for the planet's construction and development.

The goal was to rapidly convert Urth's vast resources into strength, enabling the conquest of the stars.
