StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 174 The Mar Sara Separation Movement

December 2489, 12, Jeanine's Bar.

The small bar in Echo Town used to be incompatible with the noisy environment, but as the law and order in the Hiro area became more and more stable and workers from the nearby newly opened mining area flooded into the town on a large scale, it became overcrowded.

Mr. Jeanine, Augustus Mengsk's new friend, is overwhelmed. In the past, he and his son could take care of everything in this small bar, but now he has to recruit several new waiters.But the style of the sake bar is the same as before. There are no sexy girls with revealing clothes and loud heavy metal music here, only the crisp sound between glasses when clinking glasses.

The changes brought about by the new magistrate, new policies and the revolutionary trend of thought can be seen on the walls of the Jeanning Bar: "Down with the Federation and overthrow the founding family", "Give back power to the people", "We The slogans of "Justice for Korha IV" and "All the oppressed people of the Tyrannian Federation unite" are openly hung on the walls and doors of the bar, and people sitting in the bar will always mention " Revolution", "Freedom", "Republic of the Tyranids" - although they may not understand the meaning of these words very well.

In the past, the walls of the Zhenning Bar were always covered with credit notes of various denominations from the Tyrann Federation, and in the alcoves were souvenirs collected by the bar owner, but now they turned out to be propaganda posters and brochures of the Revolutionary Army. The Revolutionary Army soldiers who died in the war and of course portrayed heroes who died for freedom.

Curt Josephine, the former demon of heaven, became the heroic warrior wearing a black hood in the poster, while Augustus Mengsk, the spiritual leader of the Korha Revolutionary Army, painted a club with the three-star logo of the Korha Dominion. The flag of the Golden Wolf of the Mengsk family stood on the rubble of the city of Tarsonis, and behind him was the dilapidated Federal Assembly Hall.All the paintings are red, green and yellow, symbolizing revolution, freedom and the Tyrannian nation.

A bright red banner was planted obliquely at the door of Zhenning Bar, on which was written the declaration of the revolutionaries: the people are the cornerstone of all political power.

And now it is the morning of the rest day, and it is the coolest time of the day. Many idle workers and peasants have time to talk and talk about the revolutionary army ideology in the pamphlets and the six-point program of the Pan-Tayran Party’s core ideology. And the current situation information from hearsay.

Augustus was sitting in a corner of Jeanine's Bar in a denim jacket with shiny buttons and high leather boots, opposite Sarah Kerrigan, a rare ghost in regular clothes.

At a table a few yards from Augustus sat Major General of the Revolutionary Army, Ma Sara Sheriff Jim Raynor, drinking with his girlfriend, Letty Elizabeth, in the middle of a hot fight.At this time, Elizabeth was wearing a plain white dress with a crisp ponytail, listening to Renault's cold joke, smiling sweetly.

It’s not that Mr. Reynolds doesn’t want to spend the two-person world with his girlfriend, but at least there are no resorts in the Hiero area. Even the only city in Hiero is located in Tarsonis or the former Keha. In a wild western town, even the coffee shops are shabby.

"That's great." Augustus held a glass of southern wine with vermilion liquid, and looked at the laughing Jim Raynor.

Now Renault would never have imagined that Augustus had already figured out the name of his son, the happiness of a good brother was the happiness of Augustus.

Speaking of which, Augustus, who has always been unlucky these days, has had a lot of luck, but in four months, the revolutionary trend of thought has spread widely in Hiero State, New Columbia State, Laurentiana State and the capital region further north. According to legend, people all began to think about the same question, that is, the shackles that bind them are not indelible.

"Envious?" Sarah Kerrigan, across from Augustus, smiled at him.

"Envy? Poor Jimmy spent all his time pleasing that woman and neglecting his brother." Augustus jokingly looked at Sarah Kerrigan, who was directly opposite, and found her amazing beauty today.

"I'm not envious at all."

Kerrigan today is wearing a light green low-cut suspender dress. From the perspective of Augustus, her deep collarbone and exposed shoulders can be seen. She has almost lived a life without sunlight for many years, so her skin Excessively white, like smooth condensed milk.

Sarah Kerrigan's straight, fiery red hair hung loose and swayed as she moved, like wicker swaying in the wind.For the first time since Augustus had met Kerrigan, she was wearing makeup, light makeup and lipstick that gave a 16-year-old girl the charm of a mature woman without looking too frivolous.

Kerrigan, with her red hair ablaze in the sunlight from the bar's skylight, her flaming lips and flushed cheeks, eclipsed all the women at Jeanine's Bar with her beauty.

"Sorry, ma'am, I didn't notice that you are more beautiful than ever." Augustus showed his trademark smile full of affinity: "And my eyes should be on you and the wine On, and there are only two things in this world that cannot be let down."

"Uh-huh—" Kerrigan glanced at Augustus with her light green eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering: "You're just making fun of me like one of those noble ladies."

"No, you are different." Augustus told her clearly.

"Of course, it's like red and black," he said. "I say that with all my heart, not my hypocrisy."

"You can read minds, you are a reasonable woman, you should know if I am lying. I am by your side, Kerrigan."

"I won't be complacent just because of your few words." Kerrigan raised his glass and drank sullenly.

Augustus smiled and didn't care.He knew that Kerrigan had a crush on him—of course, it wouldn't surprise him that any woman had a crush on him, after all, he was Augustus Mengsk.

For Kerrigan, Augustus was her savior, and after leaving the ghost academy, they were together almost day and night.Augustus often enlightens Kerrigan, who has fallen into depression due to past experiences, and more often he plays the role of a father to fill Kerrigan's lost fatherly love.

Moreover, Augustus' words and deeds are very charming, and his subordinates love him, even a rebellious old fritter like Tychus Finley is convinced by him.

"Yes, I know you will not treat a 16-year-old girl as a woman. You like a woman with a unique mature temperament, and you desire a more powerful woman to conquer yourself, just like you like ass and... "The Queen of Blades in the original book She was over 30 years old when she was in the Koprulu sector, but she was still a young girl after all, and she liked to watch the calm and calm Augustus showing his panicked side.

"It's not like that." Augustus was furious, but he didn't show it.For a long time, Augustus only hid the secret that he was a time traveler from Kerrigan, and he thought he didn't need to hide the rest, because he was indeed preparing to revolutionize the Federation.

Whether it is based on the consideration that his family will always be in danger if the Federation is not destroyed, or the deepening hatred accumulated due to the death of those Korha fighters, before the Federation is completely destroyed, Augustus will not Will let it go.

But there were certain aspects of Augustus that he didn't bother to hide, and Kerrigan caught him right.

"If you asked Tychus, he would say that Mr. Mengsk is more concerned with what's inside."

Immediately afterwards, Augustus looked at a few tables around him, what was Corporal Faraday and others disguised as customers.Augustus hoped that Corporal Faraday hadn't heard their conversation, otherwise his black history would have to add another thick stroke.

"This is not the time to talk ass, comrade, we are in a revolution."

Augustus looked far ahead, just as he saw the future of the revolution: "Keep your eyes on the present, I have a lot to do, and the people of Mar Sara and other colonies are still waiting for us to liberate, Korhal IV is still waiting for us to rebuild."

"Let's watch the news." Augustus pointed to the holographic projection TV in the center of Jeanning's Bar.He was indeed about to listen to this channel, and changed the subject without any bluntness.

"Okay," Kerrigan said, smiling.

On the TV screen is a program studio of UNN TV station. The host is Mike Liberty, a member of the Pan-Tayran Revolutionary Party who secretly worked for the Revolutionary Army. Next to him is a man with gray temples but still in good spirits Senior citizens.

"We are honored to have the Federal Parliament member, Ander Elter, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join us. You brought up Angus' son Augustus and his rebels in your press conference earlier today. Army, and you also believe that 'Sons of Keha' is a terrorist organization directed by him."

"With honor, Mr. Liberty. As I said—who else? If we speak of horror, assassination, blood, and cruelty, then you should immediately think of the wolf of Korhal IV, the A member of the criminal Mengsk family."

"Mr. Airt, what is your comment on the assassination of the heir to the Tagore family, Frank Tagore? Some people claim that the incident is related to a sex scandal deliberately concealed by the Tarsonis Police Department. The Tarsonis reporter wrote that the incident was related to the promiscuity gathering of the nobles, and before the incident, he photographed members of the Federal Parliament going in and out of related places”

"Oh—this matter is still under investigation, but the officers of the Tarsonis Police Department have sufficient proof that the female agent who has committed suicide is a Keha. I am sorry for the death of that young man. The loss of Tarsonis and the entire Tyrannian Federation, he should have been a rising star in the political world, and he should have benefited his people."

"It's such a pity, I hope the police officers can bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible. We the audience have always wanted to know: there is a nuclear bomb dropped by the Federation Fleet that completely destroyed the ecology of Korhal, causing the ecosystem there to completely collapse Are the rumors true?"

"This is not the problem. Any malicious slander against the central government of Tarsonis is groundless slander. The environmental pollution caused by the nuclear bombs delivered in Korha is close to zero. The doubts raised by the Universal Environmental Protection Organization are completely unreasonable."

"So, do you think protecting the environment is more important than people, and is the Federation responsible for the deaths of those Keha people?"

"No comment." In order to prevent Liberty from asking more questions that were not on his prompt board, the federal MP then ended the interview with the following sentence:

"Keha IV is no longer the jewel of the Tyrann Federation. Those traitors and bloody Sons of Keha terrorists should learn a lesson from the destruction of Keha! The rebels and the Sons of Keha are the butchers who slaughtered the old, the weak, women and children , inhumane demons, they attempt to subvert the rule, and use power and tyranny to ban freedom and democracy. Their existence is a desecration of human rights, a violation of the rule of law, justice will never be absent, and the remnants of the Keha rebellion will be brought to justice after all Law!"

At this moment, Kerrigan frowned: "They think you created the Sons of Korhal."

"It's a good thing." Augustus actually had a relieved expression on his face: "I will bear all this, so that Xiaowa and his mother will not be affected because my brother is the leader of the sons of Keha. "

Just as Augustus was speaking, the voices in Jeanning's bar suddenly became eager.As Augustus listened, he could hear someone on his right shouting:

When Augustus looked at him, he suddenly found a cowboy in a khaki denim jacket and a cowboy hat standing on the table. He had two short guns in his waist, and he looked sturdy and powerful.

"It's nonsense! Federation members think they represent public opinion? The founding family of Tarsonis hoarded too much wealth by exploiting the fringe star regions, and the colony's 'gold and silver' poured into the core world continuously, but they still want to Let's take on more!"

"Is it one of our people?" Augustus summoned Corporal Faraday, who just shook his head in confusion.

"Not one of us, he... he's probably not a candidate for the Pan-Tayran Revolutionary Party, my people have never even seen him - you know, they never forget the faces of the people who come and go in and out of Echo Town , I suspect he came from other areas." Corporal Faraday stared at the cowboy sharply.

"He has a Cossack cutlass badge on his clothes, which shows that he is from New Babylon, which is even farther away from us than the Capital District."

The people of Mar Sara have been dissatisfied with the federal government for a long time. This planet is one of the thirteen core worlds of the Tyrann Federation, but its development has almost stagnated. Compared with La, it is poor and backward.

And Mar Sara's rebellious sentiments come more from the tough guy style and rebelliousness that are generally rooted in every Mar Sara. burden is increasing.The wealth of the Tyrann Federation is in the hands of a very small number of families. Even so, they are still exploiting the people even more.

But Keha is different from Mar Sara. The initial contradiction was caused by the dissatisfaction caused by Keha's strong economic strength and discourse power in the Tyrann Federation. The higher the pitch, the more Angus Mengsk raised his arms to bring about the outbreak of revolution.

"Let us unite under the banner of revolution and let Mar Sara be independent!" the cowboys of New Babylon said impassionedly, which aroused many echoes.

"This is a good thing, but be careful not to provoke their enthusiasm for rebellion too much, so as not to lead to tragedy, and let Ma Sara suffer the same fate as Keha."

There was no joy on Augustus's face. He said solemnly: "Next, we must be careful of the encirclement and suppression actions of the police, militia and federal troops against the revolutionaries."

"I have received a notice from the judicial officer of Hiero State, asking us to assist the Hiro militia to encircle the Revolutionary Party and possible remnants of the Revolutionary Army. Transfer the alien technology laboratory on the ground and send the alien sacred object to the fleet. "
