Chapter 116 Independence Day

On April 2489, 4, it was a sunny day in Korha IV Steeling.It's not a good day, but revolutions don't have good days.

The marble road from the Battlefield Plain to the Palatine Council Hall is called the Senator's Walk, and the ancestors of Augustus walked through this road in bright red thick robes to the place where justice was held and rationality was traced.

At that time, the honest and upright members of parliament were wearing the same red robes as their father, Angus, arguing red-faced in order to implement laws and regulations in the council hall, and the audience in the audience was their people.But now, the people who listened to the speeches of the parliamentarians had already become dignitaries in luxurious clothes.

Augustus brought in an army recruit battalion that belonged to the Keha Defense Force to maintain order. After being instigated by the revolutionaries, these young soldiers turned to him.Soldiers with Gauss rifles and brown military uniforms stood on both sides of the parliamentary walk to form a human wall to keep out the surging crowd.

Supporters of Angus even traveled across half the planet to come here. Fanatical crowds waved banners such as "Let Keha IV Independence!" "Angus Mengsk: The People's Hero!" The banner of the golden wolf head, which is the emblem of the Mengsk family.

At this moment, Augustus was standing a dozen yards away from his father, following him closely. He was wearing a dark gray militia officer uniform with golden wheat ears on his broad shoulder straps.Colonel Acton Field of the Revolutionary Army was standing beside him, his eagle-like eyes scanning the dense crowd from time to time.

"Get out of the way, let me stand among my people!" Angus Mengsk showed a sincere and warm smile, and his voice was transmitted through the loudspeakers of dozens of Umoyan armed drones in the sky. In the ears of everyone present.

The crazy people suddenly cheered louder, and Augustus had to send more soldiers to block the crowd.

"He is much more popular than any superstar." Augustus looked at the tall buildings that were farther away from the road to the parliament.

"This is a statesman's prestige. If it weren't for the federal government's continuous squeeze on the people of Keha, its chaotic and corrupt government gradually lost everyone's trust, and the calls for reform would not be so loud." Acton "The federal government has created its own enemies," he said.

"There are very few congressmen here today." The mini headsets in Augustus' ears are constantly transmitting reports from various monitoring points and the commanders of the 1st Battalion and 1nd Battalion of the 1st Brigade of the 2st Division of the Revolutionary Army who have secretly gathered .

"Lennox Carvin is one of them. He is waiting in the Palatine Council Chamber. Only 37 of the 11 senators came, and [-] of them supported Angus." He said. .

"There are no guards in the council chambers, no sentries there - let no soldiers stand in the way of the rules of the first councilors who are pioneers between them and the people."

At this moment, Angus walked up to the steps paved with black gold-patterned marble in the Palatine Council Hall, faced the crowd watching him, and began his impassioned speech with ease.

"The ruler of Tarsonis has oppressed Kehal for too long. This is a world opened and expanded by our ancestors! She belongs to every Keha and their descendants!"

"Corruption has rotted like maggots in a Confederate city, where new laws in the Senate are deliberately misinterpreted, and where a civil servant or executive position is clearly priced!"

"Nobles and their relatives controlled the election of local senators, wealthy businessmen bribed officials to obtain 90.00% of the construction rights of infrastructure through illegal bidding methods, safety accidents caused by cutting corners caused hundreds of people to die or be disabled! "

"In Balik, the number of illegal mines is far more than the number of registered mines. Those mines lack safety facilities and the conditions are poor. The mine owners only use meager salaries to hire those illegally extradited refugees. In a mine that may have collapsed. I wonder, who is responsible for this?"

"Which penny of the exorbitant taxes collected by the Federation from Keha IV is spent on the people? If each of us works hard just to make those nobles who are already richer, even if we work hard, it will not be enough to support ourselves. Children, then, we should stand up and resist!"

"I only believe in one sentence, that is, even if geometrical axioms and inviolable mathematical laws violate the interests of the people, they must be overthrown!" Angus raised his two hands under his bright red robe. In front of his chest, he suddenly seemed to be grasping something tightly, or grasping a sword that was stabbing at him. His three-dimensional face with a thick beard, which looked like a Greek statue, could not be surfaced due to excitement. Normal flushing.

"We always believe that neither the government nor individuals, nor the founding family of Tarsonis, have any right to treat others unfairly. Democracy and law should not be a dead letter, and corrupt officials should be punished as they deserve! "

"Men are created equal, and our Creator has endowed us with inalienable rights. It is for the protection of these rights that the people elect their governments. And if the government puts the people under its tyrannical rule by abuse of power and robbery , then the people have full qualifications and reasons to overthrow it!"

"The history of Tarsonis and its colonial government is a history of tyranny and plunder. Their vain attempt to establish a despotic tyranny in a land as free as Korhal would anger even the most generous of hearts."

"My fellow citizens of Keha, comrades-in-arms of the Revolutionary Army, and followers gathered around me! I want you to solemnly declare that at this moment, Keha IV is independent! This vast land will belong to us again! "

"The Dominion of Keha was established today!"

"I swear on the honor of myself and the Mengsk family that the constitutional purpose of the Dominion was formulated by the original pioneers of Keha, and it is governed by the will of the public and will never violate democracy and justice."

"If the federal government of Tarsonis intends to use force to bring us to our knees, unleash the dreadful demon of war!"

"Long live Keha!" Finally, Angus made an exaggerated gesture in the eyes of Augustus, holding up his clenched right hand.

"Long live Keha! Long live the Dominion! Long live the Immortal People!"

All of a sudden, the sea of ​​cheers brought a roar like a tsunami, and people hugged and shouted, weeping with joy.

"Rundstein, follow me with your guards." Augustus directed his troops through the headset.

"Now, the Palatine Chamber is ours. If those congressmen want to rebel, let there be blood in there."
