StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 464 Sign, you can sign
The gin that Stukov handed out was strong and aromatic.Considering the distance between Earth and the Koprulu star sector, such wine should be difficult to drink again.

When tasting the spicy wine in the glass, Augustus naturally thought of its place of origin, the earth, the ancient homeland of mankind.The current earth must be completely different from the one in Augustus' memory. The country has become history, and it is still unknown whether the ancient cities and even the place names will still exist after 500 years.

The Green Bar finally quieted down, and even the boss and the bartender ran away.While drinking comfortably, Augustus checked the peace agreement repeatedly, and by the time he saw it for the third time, the wine in his glass was already down.

Arcturus and Kerrigan are standing on both sides of Augustus. The former is looking at Stukov with a little hostility, but more of curiosity, while the latter's gaze almost blinds the UED officer. Penetrating throughout.

After a while, Kerrigan's brows gradually frowned. She wasn't sure if Stukov himself had psychic powers, or if he used some kind of advanced anti-psychic equipment. In short, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find out. each other's thoughts.

And Stukov also noticed the eyes of the two, but didn't pay much attention to it.

"Well, this agreement is not bad." Stukov took out the cigarette and lighter from the pocket of his thick general coat, and looked at Augustus with dark eyes while lighting the cigarette.

"You made it?" Augustus chuckled.

"Part of it." Stukov didn't say which part it was: "I was only in charge of technology-related research, and didn't participate in decision-making in the army."

"In addition to these sectors on the agreement, I also need Adena, Sutur V, and Vygoire." Augustus said a series of names of planets and galaxies, these The area is enough to connect the scattered revolutionary army territories together.

There was no map with the names of the places on the agreement; Augustus spoke the words entirely from memory, and he suspected that Stukov might not have known the areas before.

"Then Heimdall IV (Norse god), Helios (Helios), New Sydney and its moon Hermes (God of commerce and theft)." He pressed on Then he said the names of several worlds.Among them, the first two are the main star worlds close to Tarsonis, while New Sydney belongs to the marginal world.

The history of these colonies is still young, but their strength and development potential should not be underestimated.

At the same time, on the star map, although these main stars are in another direction of Tarsonis, they are not far away from the main star world controlled by the UED expeditionary force. From a strategic point of view, it is almost completely border.

If Augustus is smart enough, he should choose to leave a buffer zone between the Revolutionary Army and the UED-controlled area.But in fact, Augustus's move was just to test the bottom line of UED.

"Your appetite is too great." Ristokov fell into silence for a while, but Augustus on the opposite side just put the drained wine glass in front of him.

Stukov glanced at Augustus, poured a glass for Augustus himself, and continued: "Those marginal planets are not a problem, but Admiral Dugal has sent Helios and Heimdall garrison."

The importance of these two planets is second only to a powerful main star world like Bronte. Helios has a huge naval port, where the main federation shipyards and weapons laboratories are located.And Heimdall is famous for its extremely vast coastline, golden sandy beaches and amazing blue ocean. There are almost inexhaustible natural resources buried under the seabed.

"Since this is the case, I will not make any concessions to New Sydney and Hermes." It only took a short while for Augustus to drink up the wine in his glass, and put the empty glass again placed in front of Stukov.

New Sydney is a major arms production world, and like one of its satellites, Hermes, is a planet based on prosperous commerce and advanced technology, and tourism is its third most important pillar industry.

Hermes is even more famous than the planet it surrounds. It does not attract tourists with beautiful scenery, but with its huge casino, dazzling commercial city, super star port and commendable "tolerance" "Sex" is well-known in many colonial worlds of the Tyrann Federation.

In Hermes, as long as you have money, it doesn't matter what you have been in other parts of the galaxy, whether it is a murderous serial killer or an upright sheriff.Even if you are not a person, you can change your face here and live with a new identity.

And Hermes is also a world of martial arts. Hermes prefers to use pistol duels rather than legal means to resolve conflicts, even if the other party just stains his tie while drinking in a bar.

The guild wars had caused great damage to Hermes, but they quickly recovered after that.The first full-scale war did not reach Hermes, which allowed the world to greatly preserve its strength.

New Sydney and Hermes haven't been clearly sided since the Korhal Rebellion, but more recently, the two planets have fallen for Augustus.

"Whatever, Admiral Dugal is not planning to control more planets." Stukov shrugged his shoulders, and simply handed the bottle of gin to Augustus: "This was originally given to you by the admiral. of."

Augustus could see that Stukov had a very good relationship with his immediate boss, and he put all the good things on Dugal: "This wine is really good."

Immediately afterwards, Augustus picked up the bottle and began to show his amazing drinking capacity. The members of the Mengsk family are surprisingly good at drinking.

In the revolutionary army, Augustus seldom drank, and only drank a few glasses at the celebration banquet.But for really precious wine, Augustus has no decent resistance.

"—Drink less." Arcturus suddenly coughed.

"That's right, come and help me drink." Augustus handed Arcturus the half-bottle of wine that was left in a short while.

"." Arcturus took it calmly.

"It can be seen that you like to drink." Stukov suddenly took out two bottles of transparent bottled wine from his wide pockets: "I still have some private collections. Don't worry, in my hometown , it’s just water mixed with some alcohol.”

"Dugal the son of a bitch, he never imagined that I have hidden a lot of good things." As he spoke, Stukov, who was carrying vodka with him, glanced at the UED captain next to him.

"You must not let him know about this. You know what to do."

"It's good wine, too." In Augustus' eyes, Stukov, who offered him the drink, almost said: Comrade, vodka.

"General Stukov is from Earth?"

There are not only Earthlings in the UED expeditionary force, but also soldiers from many other colonies.

"Yes." Stukov took it for granted: "That is my hometown, and that beautiful land means mother to us. Every time I go to war, I always miss the green mountains and green waters of my hometown .”

"Earth is the undisputed homeland of all human beings." Augustus declared: "There is no essential difference between the Tyranids and the Earthlings today."

"No, in my opinion, very different," Stukov replied.

Before long, both Augustus and Stukov drank tons and tons.Afterwards, they chatted more happily, dividing and dividing the vast territory of the Tyrann Federation while talking and laughing, as easily as cutting a piece of cake with a knife.

After losing Tarsonis and most of the core world, the Tyrann Federation world, which already lacked control over the fringe world, would hardly have a chance to make a comeback.Even the embarrassing federal government-in-exile was created by the surviving founding family. Those high-ranking people in the federal parliament either entered the prison of the UED expeditionary force or died in a large-scale assassination.

The founding families, large and small, and the old local nobles who supported them are still waiting for an opportunity to regain everything lost and restore the glory of their ancestors, but their enemies have become stronger than ever.

After talking for a long time, Augustus and Stukov were generally satisfied with the divided power map, and their faces flushed from drinking.

"Sign?" Stukov asked.

"Sign, you can sign." Augustus replied as straightforwardly as he did when he was drinking.

Augustus could guess the purpose of Stukov's eagerness to avoid fighting the revolutionary army.

First, the UED expeditionary force caused countless casualties and incalculable economic losses when they attacked Tarsonis, making it difficult to stabilize the rule.If you can't win the hearts of the people, you must be strict with the government and send enough troops to suppress it.

If Dugal decides to fight against the revolutionary army, the front line will inevitably be stretched, and the rear that lacks enough troops to suppress it is neither stable nor vulnerable to attack.

If Stukov had investigated Augustus, he would have known that he was good at guerrilla tactics.Directly abandoning the home world of Keha and launching a guerrilla with the Federation, such a ruthless character is more difficult to deal with than the powerful but internally decayed Federation.

Second, right now, the main force of the UED expedition has probably left Tarsonis and set off for Char to capture the Zerg Overmind.

Even if they had set out immediately after taking Tarsonis, they would have reached Char by now.

Stukov had to hide this intention. If he had enough troops, he was even willing to fight Augustus on two fronts to ensure the smooth implementation of the "Black Flag Project" to control the Zerg Overlord.

And now it seems that he didn't.

But Stukov has an advantage he can take advantage of, that is, the UED's information technology is far superior to that of the Tyranids, and their fleet can even bypass radar arrays.Most of all, he was sure that even Augustus couldn't have known about the top-secret Black Flag project.

Then as long as there is a delay of one to two months, or even less time, the UED will be able to control the Juggernaut through raids, and then they will be able to completely control the entire Koprulu sector.

As for Augustus, in fact he did not want to maintain peace with the UED at all.If he can be sure that the UED fleet is present on Char, then he will immediately go to war and attack the weakly defended Tarsonis.

Juggernauts and Psionic Disruptors were the key to UED's victory, and Dugal and Stukov thought it was impossible for Augustus to know about their plans.

But even so, Augustus patiently rushed to sign the treaty with Stukov, precisely because he was not yet sure about the position of UED's main force.

After that, regardless of whether Stukov has the right to decide on the treaty, he is ready to sign it anyway.

Soon, the new contract was reprinted with the printer brought by Stukov - the nanotechnology of the people on earth is very advanced.If it is not that this technology is already very backward in the eyes of the earth, it is that they believe that the technological barriers of this technology have reached the point where it is difficult for Tyrann humans to imitate.

"Dugal gave me full authority to deal with this matter." Stukov also took out the carte blanche of UED Expeditionary Marshal Gerard Dugal when signing.

This scene was completely recorded by the stereo camera equipment next to it, and it is expected that this scene will be broadcast in the form of news in the entire Koprulu star sector soon.

Augustus also signed, and the peace talks ended very satisfactorily, and both parties were very happy, except for the Tyrann Federation.

"I have one more thing to ask you, Lieutenant General." After ordering Kerrigan to keep the contract, Augustus stopped Stukov who was about to pat his ass and leave.

"As long as I know, I will talk about it." Stukov said.

"I heard people say that there are terrible monsters in Tarsonis, they kill people everywhere in the city, and do all kinds of evil." Augustus asked Stukov: "I have seen pictures of them and found that these monsters are both Protoss-like and zerg-like, but not either."

"That's a monster that escaped from the Tyrann Federation Genetic Laboratory." Stukov didn't even have to make a draft, and said casually: "When protecting the citizens of Tarsonis from the attacks of this monster, my subordinates They've done their best."

"At present, we have completely destroyed this kind of laboratory-maybe you don't know the policy of the United Earth Council, genetic experiments have always been abhorred by the Council."

"Shouldn't it just target human genes?" Augustus just showed some curiosity.

At the same time, Augustus was still drinking and showed no signs of being drunk at all. Stukov was deeply impressed by this generous drinking method and outstanding drinking capacity.

"The Tyrann Federation has been doing evil and distorted genetic experiments on humans. That kind of experiment is definitely not something ordinary people can bear, and there is no way there will be volunteers." What Stukov said should be the truth, but this matter There's actually no connection to the amalgam, but it's extremely misleading to someone who doesn't know about the amalgam at all.

Stukov obviously lacked interest in this topic, and his tone was tight, but after Augustus finished the following words, he immediately cheered up.

"I heard that the Tyranid Federation is also conducting experiments on psychic disruptors, and you must have seized their experimental results after taking Tarsonis." Augustus just asked: "Why, they succeeded? "

"Of course, I know this is confidential, you don't have to answer me at all."

This has been no secret since the Revolutionary Army's widespread use of psychic disruptors. ——The psychic jammer can protect the human colony from the threat of Zerg, which is more important than anything else. The people also know that this device can protect themselves. This is not only the key to the social stability of the revolutionary army planet, but also the guarantee to attract immigrants.

In this regard, the Federation's research progress has always lagged behind the Revolutionary Army.

"The scientists of the Federation have succeeded, but their equipment must be nothing compared to yours, neither in effect nor in scope." Stukov shook his head.

Psionic disruptors are a great threat to the zerg, as are the UED expeditionary forces preparing to control the Overmind and drive the swarm into battle.Now this kind of equipment has become a thorn in Stukov's side.

It is impossible for Stukov to know that Augustus has ordered his scientists to conduct research on the psychic pulverizer.

Further research on Cerebral Alpha led to a rapid advance in the Revolutionary Zerg Laboratory's understanding of the mind and psionic link of the Zerg Hive. At the request of Augustus, they began to design a brand new device.

The Psionic Crusher corrupts the mind of the zerg hive, initiating a chain reaction so devastating that the swarm within range collapses, maiming and eventually killing them.
