The news that sanctus wine had a suppressive effect on Blood Thirst was temporarily blocked by Alex.
Only five Astartes and three Inquisitors were present, and all of them understood the gravity of the matter, so it was not difficult for Alex to block the news.
However, everyone also knew that this news could only be temporarily blocked for a while; it was impossible to keep it secret forever.
The most important issue at hand was how to deal with the subsequent impact once this news spread.
If sanctus wine could only identify heretics, the problem would not be particularly severe; although Chaos might target this Imperial World and try to destroy the production of sanctus wine, at most, some warbands or cults would cause trouble, and it would not attract major forces such as the Black Legion, Death Guard, Thousand Sons, or Red Corsairs.
The Imperium and Chaos had been fighting for so many years, and the attacks and infiltrations targeting important Imperial Worlds and holy sites had never ceased.
But for the Imperium, defending these important Imperial Worlds and holy sites was not difficult.
As long as major Warp rifts were sealed to prevent direct Chaos fleet invasions, and at the same time, heretical doctrines on the planet were strictly prohibited, the spread of Chaos corruption controlled, and cultists prevented from directly opening Warp gates on the planet, the planet's safety could basically be guaranteed.
If there were also sufficient garrisons, strong defenses, and a naval fleet, then even if one or two Greater Chaos Demons came, they would not be able to break through these heavily guarded Imperial Worlds.
After all, even if the Great Rift opened, Chaos Demons and Fallen Space Marines could not appear in the material universe at will.
The Chaos power of the Warp was indeed very strong, but for Chaos Demons lurking in the Warp to manifest, sacrifices and summoning were required.
Therefore, as long as cults were eliminated, usually more than 90% of the problems could be solved.
And on Rostov II, the least concern was this issue; the planet was teeming with Ecclesiarchy faithful, who could completely rely on their faith to resist the erosion of Chaos.
But once the news that sanctus wine could control Blood Thirst spread, the nature of the problem would be entirely different.
Not to mention that those Blood Angels who had fallen for various reasons would come to snatch it, even Dante would probably want to bring people over.
Furthermore, this could attract the attention of the four Chaos Gods, who would dispatch their elite Greater Chaos Demons and Fallen Space Marines to destroy this Imperial World.
It must be known that as long as Blood Thirst persisted, if the Blood Angels Astartes could not resist the temptation of Blood Thirst and chose to embrace their desires, their fall would be inevitable.

However, if Blood Thirst were resolved, or even effectively controlled, for the Blood Angels, it would be equivalent to eliminating a huge hidden danger, which would inevitably lead to targeting and attacks from Chaos forces.
This was also the main reason Alex requested to block the news; he did not want to see the Vengeful Spirit appear in synchronous orbit with his home planet before he had fully developed.
Orbital bombardment was very satisfying when used against others, but if it was used against himself, that would be completely unnecessary.
It was precisely because of such concerns that even the most eager Kyle Stross actively restrained his excited emotions when Alex requested to block the news about this matter first, awaiting the decision of this Lord Inquisitor.

"Inquisitor Alex, what do you plan to do?" The Inquisitor who came to deliver the ship had not expected that delivering a ship would involve such a matter.
"You use my Black Ship to report this news to the Star Sector Inquisition Conference, remember, do not use Astropathic communication, do not use any written records, and do not tell anyone else!" Alex said, but then he waved his hand again and said, "I will still use psychic power to seal your memory, and when you return and see Inquisitor Grand Master, let him unseal it for you! This will be safer."
Hearing Alex say this, the Inquisitor did not object; instead, he submissively accepted Alex's sealing of his memory.
After Alex sealed the Inquisitor's memory, he would only remember that he had a confidential message to take back to the highest authority of the Star Sector Tribunal, Inquisitor Grand Master, and that this secret must not be known to anyone else before he met Inquisitor Grand Master.
To ensure that the Inquisitor returning with the message could survive to see Inquisitor Grand Master of the Star Sector Tribunal, Alex also lent him the Black Ship he had just acquired, allowing him to return to the Star Sector Capital in the shortest possible time.
"Your Excellency Alex, should I take these five Astartes with me, or leave them with you?" Although the Inquisitor's memory was sealed, it did not hinder him from dealing with the current situation.
According to the Inquisition's custom, if these five Astartes knew such important information, they would either be supervised by the Inquisition or simply eliminated.
Generally speaking, sending them on a suicide mission would just solve this problem.
But Alex shook his head, rejecting the proposal: "I still need time to observe this matter slowly; leave these five people with me! After you go back and report, if Inquisitor Grand Master asks for my opinion, just say I told you to take a bottle of wine to Dante."
As Alex spoke, he handed a bottle of 'loyalty' contained in a stasis field to the Inquisitor in front of him.
The Inquisitor nodded, accepted the bottle of wine, and then took his leave.
After the Inquisitor departed, the Adeptus Mechanicus Inquisitor, who had remained silent, finally spoke: "To be able to suppress Blood Thirst with red wine, the Blood Angels will go crazy! It's just that the Imperium's business environment is not good; otherwise, with such a solid product, your Imperial World would quickly become incredibly wealthy."
"The production of this stuff is very low; it's entirely brewed by Battle Sisters using traditional methods. To increase production, I would need to increase the number of Battle Sisters, which isn't that easy," Alex shook his head, but he did not deny the other party's statement: "However, you were right about one thing, 32; the Blood Angels will truly go crazy. Old Man Dante has been troubled by Blood Thirst for a long time, and to solve the problem of Blood Thirst, the Blood Angels have even cooperated with old Chinese doctors."
(Early version of Old Man Dante)
"Traditional brewing… that's really quite Imperial." 32 grumbled, but then quickly moved on from the topic.
"That's just how the Imperium operates. Who told Huang Lao Han not to trust AI? The Crimson Protocol is there; whoever touches it dies." Alex spread his hands and then said: "I have prepared a Forge Ship for you. From now on, you are Inquisitor Auregana of the Inquisition's Mechanicus Collegia, an old friend of mine.
Upon hearing that I became Planetary Governor, you came to me for some technical cooperation.
The main duty of the Mechanicus Collegia is to oversee the Adeptus Mechanicus, ensuring they do not excessively 'hoard' technology, and to integrate various archaeological discoveries and xenos technology into the Imperial system. So, your purpose in coming to me is to build a forge factory on my Imperial World to produce 'your' research results."
