Li Feng's "Imperial Guard" is currently the most powerful unit on paper within the entire Imperial Guard. The unit is composed of elite veterans from multiple Astra Militarum Legions. These include:
the Solar Auxilia, Tempestus Scions, Cadian Shock Troops, Catachan Jungle Fighters, Death Korps of Krieg, Valhallan Ice Warriors, Elysian Drop Troops, Armageddon Steel Legion, Mordian Iron Guard, Tallarn Desert Raiders... and many other Imperial Guard Legions.
The entire Legion has the highest endorsement from the Terra Imperial Palace, placing it at the pinnacle of the Empire in terms of resources and status. An entire Imperial Navy fleet serves as their base, with the flagship even being an "Imperial Prince-class" battleship, the "emperors lash."
At the same time, the Adeptus Mechanicus on Mars also provided strong support, with mechanical arks, Titan Legion, and a large number of Tech-Priests escorting them.
The Valhalla 597th Regiment is one of the few "mixed-gender regiments." This regiment was originally formed from two veteran regiments whose structures had been decimated, one being a pure male regiment and the other a pure female regiment.
Although some unpleasant things happened during the initial reorganization of this regiment, in battles against the Tau and Gretchin, the 597th Regiment proved themselves worthy of being awarded the title of "Guardians."
But... because it was a mixed-gender regiment, and the number of men and women was almost equal, what would happen when thousands of nearly equal numbers of young, energetic Soldiers were confined in completely sealed spacecraft for several weeks?
Anyway, Li Feng recalled a time during a certain epidemic in that world when he and Sanguinius stayed in the house, with nothing to do all day but find some fun.
Within the army, these "birth control products" were actually distributed to everyone, but... they were all young people, both physically and mentally more excited, and each person was limited to three per prescribed period... which was actually a bit insufficient.
Moreover, many people also held the ideas of "uncomfortable to wear" or "I've calculated the days, today is safe."... and so, accidents happened, leading to non-combat personnel increases.
When Kane and Kastin received the documents from the 597th Regiment's medical office, they were stunned; there were as many as 20 successful pregnancies.
As an Imperial Commissar, Kane looked at the names and numbers on the list, and this issue was already considered a serious matter of military discipline. The Imperial Guard is different from the Imperial Navy; Imperial Navy crew members might live their entire lives on their ships, forming families, raising children, and even having dedicated nurseries onboard.
However, according to Astra Militarum... military regulations, the Astra Militarum has strict rules regarding the behavior and combat readiness of Soldiers. Pregnancy would be considered a major responsibility and could lead to disciplinary action, as female warriors need to be ready for combat at all times, and pregnancy could hinder this.
If a female Guard is pregnant en route to a Kharon, she may need to seek medical attention from the ship's medical personnel. Depending on the ship and specific circumstances, she might receive treatment, but the Empire's resources are often limited.
Such situations are not uncommon, and typically, when the accompanying Imperial Commissar finds out, three types of actions are taken:
First, reassignment or retirement: the female warrior might be reassigned to a medical department or retired, especially if her pregnancy is detected early.
Second, abortion: in this harsh world, abortion might be a consideration, especially if the pregnancy poses a threat to her life or mission.
Third, the best-case scenario: the pregnancy is sheltered by the Commander, and the Army Commander might approach a Imperial Navy officer to entrust the Imperial Navy with placing the child in a nursery on the ship.
At this time, Kane and Inquisitor Amberly came to discuss this issue with Li Feng, but Kane had no expectations for it. Because, from his interactions with Li Feng in earlier years, he was not a person who liked children.
When Li Feng was still in the Valhalla Field Artillery Regiment, children from nearby garrisons would often come to see the Emperor's warriors. Unlike Divas and Kane, who could get along well with children, Li Feng would usually take a few candies from his pocket and tell the children not to bother him.
Kane had already received a message from Siegfried, telling Kane to find him after Li Feng finished eating. Siegfried was currently taking Li Feng's packed lunch boxes to Fides, who was lying in the medical bay, and Kassia in the navigation room.
And Eliette... had been meditating in her room for several days; clearly, what Fides and Li Feng did that day had left her, the witness, still reeling.
Kane led Inquisitor Amberly down the passage to the yacht. Inquisitor Amberly looked at Kane's expression, which was not good, indicating that even Kane was unsure if Li Feng would agree. Kane's idea... was to open a nursery on the 597th Regiment's combat barge... Although this doesn't sound like a big deal, once this precedent is set, many bad things could happen, such as a large number of Astra Militarum units imitating it, and also... in this universe, death is common... it's very possible that after a battle, all the children in the nursery would become orphans.
In fact, according to Inquisitor Amberly's own thoughts, she actually hoped those female Soldiers would have abortions, as they were military personnel with their own duties. But Kane obviously didn't like this decision, so Inquisitor Amberly didn't say anything, only watching how Kane would talk to Li Feng.
At this moment, Kane skillfully walked into Li Feng's yacht, as he had been like an old man lately, sneaking into Li Feng's large bathhouse every day to soak and then enjoy the sauna.
Inquisitor Amberly, however, had just learned that such a luxurious yacht was docked in the upper center of this battleship, which made her unable to resist exploring it.
As Kane led Inquisitor Amberly to the living area, the door opened, and what greeted their eyes was Living Saint Celestine, wearing an oversized T-shirt, sitting on a giant sofa, eating ice cream and watching an old Terra TV series.
"Your humble servant accuses Concubine Xi of illicit relations! Defiling the imperial harem, a crime punishable by death!"
"The palace rules are strict! Noble Lady Qi, do not speak nonsense!"
Hearing the door behind her open, Celestine also turned her head and saw Kane and Inquisitor Amberly standing at the doorway, looking at Celestine with expressive faces.
"Oh! Political Commissar! You're here? They'll be out soon."
Look at her! She didn't look like a Living Saint at all! At this moment, Kane and Inquisitor Amberly's worldviews were collapsing, but soon Kane saw a man and a woman coming down the stairs, it was Li Feng and an unfamiliar red-haired woman.
Kane looked at the red-haired woman; an extremely strong sense of oppression emanated from her, and Kane felt that the two were floating over.
Inquisitor Amberly, on the other hand, looked at the red-haired woman, who was wearing a sharp women's suit and trousers, with golden eyes and an aura that exuded a sense of dominating everything. As an Inquisitor, Inquisitor Amberly immediately came to the conclusion: this woman... is one of us... "Political Commissar, you're here!" Li Feng stepped forward and patted Kane's shoulder, then turned to Inquisitor Amberly: "Miss Inquisitor."
Kane gave an awkward smile, and Inquisitor Amberly nodded slightly in acknowledgment:
"Lord Li Feng, it's good to see you again."
Kane then pointed to the "new companion" beside Li Feng and asked:
"Li Feng, who is this beautiful lady? You met such a beautiful woman and didn't tell me... *hiss*..."
Suddenly, Kane felt someone step on his foot. He looked down and indeed... Inquisitor Amberly's boot was currently on Kane's boot.
Thinking of this, Li Feng immediately introduced: "Political Commissar, Miss Inquisitor. This is my girlfriend, Sanguinius..."
Sanguinius also smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet you two..."
"Thud..."
Before Sanguinius finished speaking, she saw Kane directly drop to his knees with a thud, just like a disciple of Jesus seeing Jesus resurrected... Kane's inner thought at this moment: "Come see God..."
