Chapter 125 August National Security Council

In mid-April, the new Governor-General of Keha IV declared a state of war and global martial law, and implemented a wartime economic system.At the same time, the new government announced that industries such as metallurgy, transportation, and spacecraft manufacturing, which were used to fully support the war during the war, would be owned by the Dominion government.

Even so, the revolutionary enthusiasm has not faded.On the August Square in the center of Stilling City, the golden wolf red flag of the Mengsk family and the white five-pointed star flag of the Korha Dominion are fluttering. Streets, to vote for the newly elected Korha Dominion Council.

Since the great revolutionary leader Angus Mengsk served as the new president of the Senate and concurrently as the governor of the Korhal galaxy, taking charge of the government, constitutional amendment and legislative power, the traces of the federal government’s rule in Korha have been swept away like dust after rain. .

In this square named after Augustus's grandfather's grandfather, in a geometric right-angle building with Roman vaults and columns, with wine-red glass windows, a new department was established - Augustus National Security Council.

This is an intelligence agency that only recruits members of the Pan-Tyran Revolutionary Party, bypasses the parliament and is directly responsible for the Governor's Office of Keha. Bureau and many other agencies.

The leader of the Revolutionary Army, Marshal Augustus, transferred Connor Ward, the former chief of staff of the Army of the Revolutionary Army of Kerha and a member of the Demon of Heaven, to serve as the chairman of the committee on April [-], and presided over the first plenary meeting.

This unnamed building was originally planned to replace the Palatine Town Hall as the new Town Hall.Construction on the new council hall began 16 years ago but was not completed until last year, nearly a decade behind schedule.During the period, more than 60 billion federal credits were spent, which was [-] times the original budget.

The new City Hall is the product of Senator Keha's pursuit of power and luxury and his corrupt rule. Its construction is entirely funded by Keha's taxes and corporate donations.The interior decoration is extremely luxurious, decorated with countless beautiful rubies, the floor is expensive Josala sun wood, and some building materials come from a galaxy a thousand light-years away.

However, on the issue of abandoning the Palatine Council Hall and switching to the New Council Hall, the traditionalists who accounted for the majority in the parliament after more than ten years decided that they must continue to hold meetings in the original Council Hall because of the centuries-old tradition.Therefore, this gorgeous palace-like building was abandoned after it was built, and it became more and more dilapidated because no one paid high maintenance costs.

After the establishment of the new government, the New Council finally played its due role.Today, it is the headquarters of Korha IV's largest intelligence agency.

"The purpose of the establishment of the August National Security Committee is to wipe out our internal enemies, the spies of the Tyrannian Federation and the counter-revolutionaries who deliberately sabotaged the peace of Keha. At the same time, the committee is also responsible for the supervision and review of government officials."

In the vaulted hall with huge stained glass in the New City Hall, Augustus met with more than a dozen directors, deputy directors and committee members who were appointed by Angus himself and vetted by ghost agent Sarah Kerrigan. give a speech.

"Externally, we will send commissioners to infiltrate places such as Tarsonis and the main star of Antiga. While collecting intelligence and stealing military technology and cutting-edge technology, we must also use the ability to control or influence the leaders of the founding family and members of the Federal Parliament as the leader. ultimate goal."

"In this regard, the Umoyant guild working in Tarsonis will assist us—"

"Marshal Mengsk, I am worried that the internal censorship will turn into cruel oppression of the people, and the people will live in tension and suspicion all day long, and the reporting and exposing of each other will eventually turn into a disaster for the torture of humanity. The lessons of history," said a middle-aged man in formal attire.

"You don't have to worry about this issue. We have our own methods to judge whether it has really betrayed the revolution. Moreover, at present, our internal supervision only stops at government officials and the army." Augustus then began to speak to those sitting in the audience Attendees introduce Sarah Kerrigan, the Ghost agent behind her.

"Natural psykers are a precious asset for mankind, and the leaders of the Federation obviously only regard this as a threat." Augustus's voice was soft but powerful: "And I believe that psykers should never be treated like this." Treat. In addition to killing, their telepathic ability-that is, mind-reading can effectively help us weed out corrupt officials in the government and traitors in the revolutionary party and the army."

"During the Earth era, psykers were regarded as heretics, and the earth government that pursued pure-bred human supremacy began to cleanse psykers, and some of our ancestors came from those arrested psykers." He said.

"If we believe that psykers are monsters and aliens, it is a denial of ancestral blood. In the years to come, in the course of civilization based on geological time scales, there will only be more and more psykers in human beings. I support The theory of human evolution, this is my position in the field of psionic research."

"Please believe that psykers are still one of us and work peacefully with them. In terms of the public, we also need to create a good image of psykers and make positive and beneficial publicity."

"We have also been censored?" After Augustus finished speaking, the director of the First Intelligence Bureau was surprised: "But we didn't know."

"This is natural. There must be no traitors in the Intelligence Bureau." The director of the Second Intelligence Bureau immediately said: "We can sit here, which shows that we are absolutely loyal to Keha."

"Psykers?" Chairman of Keha National Security Council, former Heavenly Demon Rocket Soldier Connor Ward looked at Augustus: "I also only recently learned about these superpowers living among us."

"I'll be honest, if psykers are used to censor ordinary people, who should censor and supervise the psykers themselves?"

"The answer is more powerful psykers." Augustus pointed to the girl with fiery red hair beside him: "This is Sarah Kerrigan, the director of the Psionics and Alien Investigation Bureau."

I don't know when it started, this ghost agent who was a federal assassin who intended to assassinate Augustus' father Angus, the speaker, followed behind him unwaveringly, acting as an adjutant.

Kerrigan's day-to-day image is a dark gray military uniform and a boat cap with the Revolutionary Army badge. She always has a sharp dagger and a shotgun pinned to her hip.

Connor Ward stood up with a serious face and walked to the lecture hall, as if to confirm that Kerrigan was a psyker.Then, Ward walked to Augustus and said in a small voice.

"Is she the reason you transferred Lisa to be the superintendent of the newly established National Hospital? That's what they asked me to ask—I'm not at all curious."

This made Kerrigan puzzled.

"What does this have to do with this meeting?" Augustus glared at Ward: "And you know Lisa wants to go."

"Be serious." He emphasized, "You are the person I trust the most, Connor. I am very relieved to entrust this institution to you."

"I just set up this institution according to my father's ideas. As for making it work as we originally expected, and making the enemy frightened, that is your task."

"Treat no mercy to your enemies," Augustus said solemnly.

"I believe in your abilities."

"She is indeed beautiful." Connor nodded.

"Shut up." Augustus said anxiously.
