StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 424 UED
"...to ensure that humans, not zerg or protoss, continue to dominate the galaxy."

By the time Augustus returned to Hagie's Colonial Governor's office, documents from the Revolutionary Army and Umoyan United States intelligence agencies had filled his desk.

"Our information comes from three weeks or more ago, when the fleet of the United Earth Directorate (UED) had occupied the entire Braxis star."

The convection heater in the immigration governor's office was delivering warm air. Amidst the subtle hum of the fan, Augustus leaned back on the seat and stacked his fingers on his chest, watching the table that had been turned over a lot. all over the file.

"Given the distance between Blackheath and Hagee, the delay in news was unavoidable," he said.

"Jimmy, if you are the commander of these earthlings, your task is to defeat the Tyranid Federation as quickly as possible with the least loss, and gain control of its subordinate colonies. Tell me, how should you command this land?" battle."

Augustus sat up straight, picked up an electromagnetic pistol on the desk, disassembled and reassembled the electromagnetic accelerator and battery parts of the pistol, and filled the magazine with heavy bullets.

"We are the Rebel Army, Augustus, this is asking me how to change the diapers of the children." Revolutionary Army General Jim Raynor was standing opposite the desk, he was wearing dark gray power armor, It seems to be ready to step on the battlefield at any time.

Renault's power armor has white wings of freedom and the standard of the devil of heaven, and the right shoulder armor has a snake-like texture connecting the spine of a rattlesnake skeleton, which makes this rebel officer look even more deterrent.

"If I have a fleet and equipment like the people on Earth, why waste time on the edge of the world, go directly to Tarsonis and kill the Federation Council and those nobles, and everything will be settled." Renault replied.

"Then our job is very simple. The revolutionary army has transformed itself into the legal government of the Tyrannian Federation, and the rest is to recover the colonies that lost contact in the first all-out war, and completely quell the counterattack from the old federation party and pawns. "

"I think, if the purpose of the United Earth Council is the same as ours, then the process will be similar."

"Jimmy, we don't know how many battleships the Earth Expeditionary Force has and how many spaceships are full of Earth soldiers. Of course, we have no way of knowing the true strength and strategy of this Earth fleet." Augustus said to Renault.

"If the Earth Expeditionary Force really has the pair of iron fists that you think can destroy everything, then they can indeed hit Tarsonis directly."

"But now it seems that the people on Earth didn't do that."

Augustus found an emphatically marked one from the stacks of documents and handed it to Renault: "Look, the first thing they did after capturing Braxis was to invade the command center of the Tyrannian Federation. Database stealing weapon blueprints."

"Then, in less than 48 standard hours, they captured the Delarian Orbital Shipyard on Della IV. There were several Umoyan agents in the Delarian Shipyard, and they finally passed The message back to Umoyan Prime shows that this shipyard has at least 35 behemoth-class battlecruisers under construction and an unknown number of new warship prototypes." He stared into Renault's eyes and asked.

"I once announced to the staff that the next target of the Earth Expeditionary Force must be the Delarian Shipyard, and now they all regard me as a military god."

"They are right, I think so too." Renault shrugged: "God knows how you did it."

"Do you still remember this place? The military leaders of the Earth Expeditionary Force must be well versed in the principle of speed and speed." Augustus smiled.

"We visited the Commonwealth's Delarian shipyard four years ago and almost completely blew it up before we slapped our asses on the ground." Raynor pulled up a chair and sat down, reaching for a glass of Augustus Just brewed coffee.

"Eat a fall and learn a lesson, later the Federal Parliament appropriated funds to rebuild the Delarian Shipyard and increased the guard force by ten times compared to the past. I really don't know how the people on Earth won this prison, which is even more guarded than the New Folsom Prison. In a fortified place?"

"All I know is that the Federal Navy will never be able to wash away its shame at the Delarian Shipyard. First, it was turned upside down by a group of rural rebels, and now people from Earth are also rushing to visit." Augustus said to The incompetence of the Federal Navy was astonishing.

"Admiral Gasther Duke is disgraced, and Union naval dominance is seen as a joke."

Rational analysis, since the Federal Navy has already had the experience of a battleship being robbed, at least they will not be robbed a second time in such a short period of time.

"It seems that the Federation lost a lot more warships this time than they claimed." Renault couldn't help laughing as he skipped over a few ridiculous figures and the words "oil tanker".

"Since the invasion of Zerg, the Federation has been continuously increasing its investment in expanding the fleet, almost using the output of the settlement and the indemnity of the Kel Morian Federation on it." He said.

"Well now, these new warships that are enough to deal with Zerg and Protoss have all fallen into the hands of the earthlings. At least, this is not all bad news for us."

The soaring production capacity of Tyrannian Federation battlecruisers has mainly gone through three periods. One is during the Kailian Guild War from 2485 to 2489. During this period, many Behemoth-class battlecruisers that were put into mass production fell into the revolution in the hands of the army.

Most of the battlecruisers produced during 2490 to 2492 to suppress the rebels and maintain the rule suffered heavy losses in the first all-out war, and now, the battlecruisers produced to deal with the threats of the Protoss and the Zerg were taken by the Earth Expedition The army intercepted Hu.

"The current Tyrannian Federation is in the middle of a new round of war, and most of the federal fleet has been transferred to deal with the Earth Expeditionary Force on marginal planets such as Braxis." Augustus opened a wooden table on the governor's desk. The holographic projector projected a complete star map of the Koprulu Star Sector.

"Before the Federation and the people on Earth smash their brains to pieces, we can continue to advance the process of liberating the marginal worlds. Anyway, the Federation doesn't care about these impoverished 'mud planets' at all. It doesn't matter, I really care."

"Don't we just ignore the war between the Earth Expeditionary Force and the Federation?" Renault put the paper back on the desk and said to Augustus.

"How to say, we should also stand on the side of the Tyranids to deal with those earthlings." He said.

"Our ancestors struggled for 200 years to build everything now. The United Earth Council has not helped us with anything. Why should we come to take back the colony now."

"Even if we help the Federation kill the Earth Expeditionary Force, the Federation Council and the founding family will still try their best to take my head off." Augustus shook his head, as if someone had really chopped off his slender neck. one knife.

"It's disgusting to me to be courteous to the Federation, and there's no need for it. The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army all rose up at my call to overthrow the Federation. I will not and will never show mercy to the Federation," he said.

"My attitude must be very clear. Before the Tyrannian Federation is overthrown, this man named Augustus Mengsk will not stop. He will accept surrender, but he will never accept the political compromise of partitioning the Federation."

"Cooperating with the Federation also makes me sick." Renault shrugged: "But I am worried that if the people on Earth defeat the Federation and gain a foothold, and when the follow-up fleets from Earth continue to arrive, we will have nothing to do Recover the lost lands of the Commonwealth."

"I mean, maybe we have to make things difficult for the people on Earth, so that they don't solve the Federation so smoothly, and it's best to hurt both sides."

"You're right, Jimmy." Augustus has always been kind: "But before that, I have to get in touch with the commander of the Earth Expeditionary Force to see if they need 'help' from the Korha Revolutionary Army .”

"At least, we all have a common enemy."

"Haha, you are a despicable guy." Renault said, "What if they don't care about these kittens from the Revolutionary Army at all?"

"If the people on Earth really need our support, it means that they are not sure of defeating the Tyrann Federation with their own strength. At that time, we can still cooperate." Augustus said: "But don't expect the Revolutionary Army to help the Earth solve the problem. After losing the Federation, they will help us establish a regime, and the people on Earth do not need a puppet government to rule the Koprulu sector."

"In other words, since this expeditionary force doesn't have the power to solve everything completely, we can still bring them down."

In the original timeline, when the fleet of the United Earth Council entered the Koprulu sector, it was after Tarsonis, the capital planet of the Tyrann Federation, was wiped out under the attack of the Zerg. Between the swarm and Tarsonis, it was overwhelmed by the sea of ​​insects without a single wave.

At this time, the Earth Expeditionary Force was facing the decimated Tyranids and the Tyranid Empire that Arcturus Mengsk had just built on the ruins of the Federation. With the Federation Fleet that had defected, the Tyranid Empire was almost powerless to fight back after Edmund Duke's humiliating defeat at the Delarian Shipyard.

However, the current Earth Expeditionary Force is still facing a powerful Tyrannian Federation.Although Zerg and Protoss have destroyed many federation fleets, the federation that relies on Tarsonis and many core worlds to preserve its strength is still not comparable to the Tyrann Empire that is waiting to be rebuilt.

It will never be so easy for the Earth Expeditionary Force to defeat the Tyrannian Federation.

"What if the people on Earth sneered at us?" Reynolds asked.

"Belittling us will make them pay an unimaginable price." Augustus stood up and stood with his hands behind his back: "In any case, I hope that after this war is over, the Federation and the Earth Expeditionary Force will disappear forever."

"I really don't know how many people should die." Renault sighed: "The endless war zerg is threatening the lives of all human beings, but we are still killing each other?"

"Unless everyone obeys one leader and one order, this kind of nonsense will never end." He said:
"I had already planned to go back to Umoyan to see my wife and children, but now I can't."

"I have a hunch, Jimmy, you will be able to take a long vacation after all this is over." Augustus turned the holographic projector upside down and showed Renault the combat star map on it.

"Now, I need you to take a fleet to Char and the protoss to deal with the new master." He told Raynor.

"I want to give you the Norad II, the Ragnarok, the Jotun, and the Victory and the Son of Antiga that were just built from the Antiga star port dock. At the same time, Ward and Yaco's troops also I leave it to you to command. Most of the fleet is veterans who have experienced many battles, and most of them have experienced the war in the far sent Aiur."

"After you arrive in Char, the first thing to do is to capture Char's high-altitude orbital platform and establish a base, and prepare for a long-term battle in Char." Augustus said.

"I have a hunch that the cerebrate Dagos will do his best to protect the new master. This will be an extremely difficult battle."

"I know, those who can do more work." Renault accepted the appointment with confidence, thinking that this would not be more unbearable than the brutal battles he had experienced in the past.

"I want someone from you."

"Tychus? Yes." Augustus nodded.

"Oh, it's not that guy, it's Colonel Prior of the Sara Galaxy Assault Division." Renault shook his head.

"No, I have tasks to delegate to him," Augustus said. "I give you Tychus, and he alone is worth a Ultralisk."

"Not Tychus, he can't even wipe decks well." Raynor emphasized how much Tychus hated dogs.

"What's your complaint with Tychus?" Augustus frowned.

"I knew you had bad intentions." Renault patted his buttocks and prepared to leave.

"Oh, good afternoon, Lieutenant Kerrigan, Augustus is here." Renault was about to walk out when he saw Kerrigan walking into the governor's office.

"General, I just received a letter from Lady Elizabeth from Umoyan." Kerrigan took out a pile of letter papers from her file bag, including one for Raynor.

"This is the best news I've heard today." After receiving the letter, Lei Nuo couldn't wait to open it and read it. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly when he saw the photos of his parents, his wife and their son.

"This is for you. It's from Lady Catherine and Dorothy. Well, your brother Arcturus also wrote to ask why his brother didn't write to him at all during this time." Kerrigan continued Put a stack of letters on the desk.

"I'm sorry, Arcturus, I completely forgot about you." Augustus seemed to think for a moment, opened the letters from his mother and sister, and put Arcturus's aside.

"Any more news about the Earth Council?"

"There are some. We have learned that the Earth Expeditionary Force that landed on the fringe world of Braxis is loyal to the United Earth Council - Umoyan's military analysts and historians point out that this is likely to be an actual control of the Earth beyond. The vast bureaucracy of its sister colony world," Kerrigan replied.

"After all, before the four colony motherships departing from Earth arrived in the Koprulu sector, the Earthlings had already established a colony in the solar system where the Earth is located. Scholars who advocate the power of the Umoyan Council of the Earth believe that this is a way to gain Opportunities for advanced technology from the earth, the ancient home of mankind, believe that the earth is the hope of mankind."

"The harder they blow the United Earth Council, the more funds they get from the Umoyan Council." Augustus commented.
