Chapter 457 Carve up the Federation
Earlier on August 2493, 8, Augustus held a military meeting in the former Clusas Governor's Palace. The participants included the commanders of the various legions and the general staff of the Revolutionary Army. More than 5 people attended the meeting. people.

Admiral Horace Warfield was the last to arrive at the scene. Two hours ago, he was sitting on the galaxy jumper rushing to the Crusas Central Air Port. He was also the highest rank among the commanders present, and he was the only one Admiral.

Only Jim Raynor was absent, leading a revolutionary army to fight the zerg on the new battlefield opened up on the planet Char.

About 12 revolutionary soldiers are still fighting against the swarm headed by the cerebrate Dagos in the purgatory world full of volcanoes and white ash, although they have received help from Tassadar, the high-level executive of the Protoss in Dalam and The direct support of Archon Fenix, but at the same time must be careful of the possible treachery of their ally with ulterior motives, Tosh, known as the Zerg Prince of Blades.

As the commander of the Char Legion, Jim Raynor has lived up to Augustus' expectations. He has occupied the defense platform in the outer space orbit of Char through a decisive landing battle and set about establishing the Plain of Mirrors on the surface of Char. base of operations.

At the meeting, Augustus first informed the revolutionary generals present that Tarsonis had fallen, and clarified his attitude.

That is to say, the entire army of the Revolutionary Army must prepare for a full-scale war with the United Earth Council. Once the war starts, the Revolutionary Army will concentrate its forces to attack instead of defending instead of spreading its forces on various planets for defense.

Because although Augustus has reached a verbal peace agreement with the commander of the UED expeditionary force through a long-distance communication, it is just a treaty that can be torn up at any time.As long as neither Dugar nor Augustus announced the treaty to the outside world, it does not exist.

Even if it is known, it is not very restrictive.

On the premise of the imminent war with the UED, Augustus asked his commanders to discuss a detailed combat plan under the assumption that they had already fought with the UED Expeditionary Force to ensure that the Revolutionary Army can win in the next war .

In fact, the Revolutionary Army has been conducting war drills with the UED, and the officers of the staff department are deducing the tactical sand table all day long in order to take the lead in the possible all-out war.

Throughout the morning, Augustus listened carefully to the opinions of the commanders, and he said few words himself.

In the past, there was no time when Augustus' generals and commanders completely agreed, but this day there was not much disagreement. ——Augustus has told them that the Revolutionary Army is not afraid to fight the UED and will not retreat.

However, in the details, there are endless debates and overthrows and overthrows. There are more than a dozen sets of preliminary battle plan ideas put forward by the generals, which immediately aroused a wider debate in this meeting. .

As always, Edmund Duke insisted on strong offensive tactics, emphasizing that Alpha Squadron would be the vanguard in the war against the Earthlings.He vowed to restore the glory of the Tyranids and restore the sacred mother planet Tarsonis!
It's just that the tactics proposed by General Duke with a slap on the head don't have much merit. His tactics are only suitable for the Alpha Squadron, which is good at carrying out tough missions.

And Horace Warfield generally supported Duke's battle plan, and he also believed that he should take the initiative instead of sticking to the planet he already controlled.Taking the initiative is the most important thing. By consuming the effective forces of the Earth Expeditionary Force to gain a strategic advantage, the war with the UED must be won in constant movement.

The fall of Tarsonis proved that even the most impregnable fortifications are not infallible.

The UED expeditionary forces are all well-equipped elite soldiers. Gerald Dugal is good at attacking, but they are an expeditionary force far away from the mainland after all. Equipment and supplies can only be obtained from the occupied areas, which is difficult to sustain.

If the UED chooses to go to war with Augustus' revolutionary army immediately after occupying Tarsonis, then judging from the previous experience of the Tyrannian Federation government fighting the revolutionary army, even if they can defeat the main force of the revolutionary army fleet, they must deal with the aftermath. All-pervasive guerrilla armed forces.

Moreover, although the Tyrannian Federation has been severely damaged, and its largest authority, the Federal Parliament, and the military headquarters have been destroyed together with their mighty fleet, there are still a considerable part of the federal world that has not been affected by the war, and the remaining The federal fleet and armed forces should not be underestimated.

The current remnant forces of the Tyranid Federation only lack a unified commander, and it is still a powerful force to gather together the federal naval fleet scattered in various sectors and star regions of the Koprulu star region.

Moreover, the strength of the Revolutionary Army has expanded nearly 10 times in the past three months, and the newly built battlecruisers have greatly supplemented the fleet.So far, Augustus has an army of 440 million and more than 50 battlecruisers.

The source of soldiers comes from volunteers from 48 Territories of the Tyrannian Federation, of which the main star of Antiga provides nearly half of the source of soldiers. After more refugees and the Keha people living in Umoyan emigrate to this planet, the population has reached a staggering 8000 million , and could exceed 1 million before the end of the year.

The Antiga government and the immigration department are also very busy with this, because the invasion of the earth people has once again set off a huge wave of refugees and immigrants.

Although this is still not enough even compared with the Federation defenders in Tarsonis, Warfield believes that the UED must have paid considerable losses when they captured Tarsonis.

The main difference between Warfield and Duke is that the former's battle plan is obviously much more detailed and cautious. He does not want to immediately start a war with the main force of the UED expeditionary force and gamble all the wealth accumulated by the Revolutionary Army for many years on it.

He advocated continuing to carve up the remaining federal world with the UED, occupying some important core planets far away from Tarsonis.At the same time, the Revolutionary Army must step up the absorption of the defeated remnants of the Tyrannian fleet, and unite with those naval squadrons that have not rushed to Tarsonis or are performing missions in other federal territories, so that UED will not tear its face without scruples.

Augustus agrees with Warfield's idea quite a bit. He believes that the current UED is far from capable of crushing the forces of all parties in Coplu—at least it will have to wait until Dugal masters the technology of the psychic jammer and successfully completes it. After the United Earth Council's Black Flag project aimed at controlling the Zerg Overlord.

When Augustus asked whether this move would directly lead to war, Warfield believed that even so, it must be done, because they must weaken the UED expeditionary force’s future war potential as much as possible. The UED comfortably takes over all core worlds owned by the Federation.

The core world of the federation is the most important industrial and technological center, while the peripheral world mainly plays the role of raw material supply place and food production place.

Currently, the revolutionary army mainly controls nearly two-fifths of the peripheral world, while the core world is much less.In terms of economic power and industrial base, the core world is undoubtedly much stronger.Generally speaking, the colonies farther away from Tarsonis had shorter histories and lower levels of development, and only a very small number of marginal worlds could catch up from behind.

Warfield's idea is that we must not sit back and watch UED control all the core worlds, even if we have to create contradictions and conflicts with it.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is absolutely impossible for the UED to coexist with the rebel organizations of the Tyrann Federation.

The reason why the UED expeditionary force did not attack the Federation and the rebels at the same time was that they did not have the spare power for the time being.

"At present, the possibility of direct war between the people on Earth and us is not high." After Warfield temporarily ended his dry speech, Arcturus Mengsk, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, put forward his own opinion .

Arcturus is not only responsible for the government affairs of the Revolutionary Army planet, but also serves under the name of the Revolutionary Army General Staff, but in fact this is not a false title.

"From the intelligence point of view, after the UED expeditionary force captured Tarsonis, they occupied the seven core worlds closest to Tarsonis in less than a week." Arcturus was wearing the uniform of the chief of staff. , with a pistol and sword pinned to the trousers with red wide-striped trousers on the lower body.

"I think this just shows that the strength of the UED expeditionary force is actually stretched, and they dare not disperse their limited troops on multiple planets." He paused and continued: "Occupy the seven core worlds. They also have their clear purpose, those planets have industrial centers and the largest and most important interstellar ports, and UED will definitely transform them into a huge fleet in a very short time."

"DUGal of the UED won't just want to occupy all the federal worlds in such a hurry, but he can't stop after that." Jackson Hole, the commander of the Nova Squadron, said:

"I'm worried that their next target will be the main star of Antiga."

"If they do, we'll attack Tarsonis," said Armored Commander-in-Chief William Wachowski.

"You must be careful of the UED's electromagnetic interference weapons and hybrid troops. They relied on these two things to defeat the federal defenders of Tarsonis." The current commander of the Revolutionary Army Korha Legion, Ron Destein, said:

"The top priority is to develop counter weapons, otherwise our warships will become sadly blind and deaf when facing the UED expeditionary force."

"In this regard, the Umoyan people will do their best to help us." Augustus said: "Since the people on Earth reappeared in our field of vision, the Umoyan Council has exploded. After the collapse of the Lun Federation, the next target of the UED expeditionary force must be the United States of Umoyan."

"For this reason, they are willing to help us upgrade our network and communication equipment as soon as possible to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on our warships."

The United States reacted violently to the people on Earth, but at the same time they also held the idea of ​​stealing advanced technology from the earth. The Umoyans are well known for their obsession with technology.

"As for the hybrid" Augustus noticed that everyone's eyes were looking at him at this moment.

"The Dalam protoss will send troops to help us deal with the hybrid."

Augustus had contacted the Dalam protoss of Sacoolas to discuss the hybrid with their leader, Rashagal.Of course the protoss would not just sit idly by, they hated this kind of monster that fused the genes of the protoss and the Zerg, and thought it was a blasphemy against the protoss race.

It's just that the protoss didn't regard the earth as a threat, and they wouldn't fully intervene in the human civil war, so they wouldn't send an overly large fleet to support, but would only help Augustus deal with the hybrid.

The current Dalam Protoss has just experienced the great battle on Aiur, and is recuperating, unwilling to launch a large-scale war.

However, as far as Augustus is concerned, that has made him quite happy.

"With the protoss to help us, the hybrid is not an invincible enemy." Arcturus also breathed a sigh of relief. He used to worry that the protoss would ignore it. After all, who can figure out such a thing? How on earth are there so many different races from humans thinking.

"It should be very interesting to fight against the people on Earth. I heard that they only like to tap dance with a cane." At this time, Mira Han, the commander of the Port of the Dead Legion, was lying on the conference table and fell asleep. All were tense generals of the Revolutionary Army at all levels, only Mira looked listless.

Regarding the content of the meeting, Mira didn't listen to a few words at all.She had always been a maverick, always rebellious with her shiny pink-purple hair.

Mira is very smart and proficient in intrigues and tricks, but in the final analysis, her style of doing things is to die to the end. In the words of the residents of the port of the dead, she is dry.

Depending on whether or not Augustus was at the meeting, the meeting with Mira was either hot or dead.

Fortunately, Renault was not here today, otherwise it would have turned into a fight between him and Duke in at most 15 minutes, and Mira was in charge of fighting.

"What's going on, Mira, if you are really sleepy, I can approve you to go back to the barracks to sleep now." Augustus's forehead darkened: "But I need to know why you are like this?"

"Ah~ It was Xiao Ma's fault last night. He was so enthusiastic that he didn't let me rest at all." Mira suddenly blushed and hugged her shoulders, shaking non-stop.

"Oh, that poor Tyrador kid." Duke showed a disdainful expression.General Edmund Duke had escaped the vulgar tastes of human sex, and his mind was full of violence and merit.

"He's still a child." Unlike Holler's intimidating appearance, he is actually a CP leader who likes to knock CP.

"?" Arcturus on the side said suspiciously: "Matt stayed at the staff headquarters all night yesterday, so it is impossible to go to the barracks on the other side of Krusas."

A few days ago, Augustus had just promoted Matt Horner from the first officer of a Revolutionary Army warship to the Revolutionary Army General Staff, preparing to train him into a future admiral.

It's not so much that Matt can't meet with Mira often because of work, but rather because his desire to work overtime is too strong and he gets the opportunity to escape from Mira.It has to be said that Mira is not Matt's dish.

"You can't talk like this." Augustus waved his hand, signaling the generals around to skip this topic: "You probably haven't woken up, Mira, you don't need to attend this meeting."

"But you can't use this time to harass Matt Horner."

But thanks to Tomira, the atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became cheerful, and the tense atmosphere was swept away.

After driving Mira away, Augustus waved his hand and said to the generals of the Revolutionary Army: "I think General Warfield's plan is feasible. Since the UED has not taken action against other core worlds for the time being, we will take the first step." Control them."

"We may go to war with the UED at any time, so kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself." He said:
"Next, let's continue to study and discuss the Warfield plan."
