StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 498 The Tyrann Empire
Keha IV, the imperial capital.

Augustograd Palace.

In the original plan of the imperial capital, the palace built for the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire was located in the center of the city, occupying an area of ​​more than ten square miles.In addition to the main giant pyramid-shaped palace building, there are large courtyards behind the towering palace walls and gates of the palace, used to build nurseries and gardens, and office buildings built for the cabinet and other administrative departments.

Although the emperor himself had seen the plan, he waved his hand and cut the costly plan again and again, and changed three-quarters of the original planned area to be used for the construction of large public parks, the Augustograd City Hall, The Imperial Senate and the Imperial Marine Corps Operation Center, but under the exhortation of Minister of Defense Arcturus and others, the main palace and a small part of the courtyard were retained.

In addition, there are travertine marble statues of Revolutionary Army Marines, and a [-]-foot-tall Korha Battle Memorial, where the soldiers who died protecting Korha in the past will also be relocated here.

The imperial palace is not only a symbol of the power of the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire, but also the center of politics, so it cannot be too shabby.

Even so, this is undoubtedly a large-scale project, but at the very beginning, at least [-] construction workers were engaged in the construction of the Augustegrad Palace, and the mobilized resources and large-scale equipment are an astonishing number .

The entire Auguste Grad is under construction in full swing, and the palace is just a microcosm of it.This is the contribution of Emperor Augustus to the land of his birth, and the reborn world of Korhal IV will surely replace Tarsonis, which is deeply rooted in the power and influence, as the center of the Tyrannian Empire.

The current Augustograd Palace is just a fine steel frame built by countless cranes, pile drivers, concrete and towering scaffolding. The outermost palace wall has begun to take shape, and every construction site is facing the wind. The flying golden and red banner of the Tyranid Empire.

The half-mile-long wall is only the outermost layer of the palace's defenses, four feet thick of Plaid steel, μ-alloy, and superconducting grids atop multiple layers of thickened reinforced concrete.The air and water inside are sieved to the molecular level, able to resist the impact of electronic pulses and charged particle radiation. A giant cannon with an astonishing caliber is erected on the palace wall, guarded by the Royal Guard who was once the marshal's guard.

From the design and construction of the palace to the guards and staff, they are the people who are most loyal to the Mengsk family. Everyone must accept the highest supervision and the Ogbo agent of the police department before they can really contact the royal family members. The mind-reading review of the psykers, and the Augustgrad Imperial security forces are responsible for the security around the palace.

In terms of artistic value, the magnificent and magnificent Augustus Grad should also be an unprecedented model in the history of new empire architecture. There were more than 30 artists including architects, sculptors and painters from the former Tyrannian Federation present. After an extremely fierce debate, the architectural plan for the palace was settled.

The Augustegler Palace completely got rid of the limitations of classical architecture. It is a stunning steel block and glass building. It is expected to use tens of millions of tons of steel, marble and flat glass, alloy steel columns, beams, and longitudinal beams. Together with the glass gleaming in the sun, it forms a towering super steel pyramid, and will be a well-deserved landmark of the city.

Augustus knew how the civil opponents and supporters of the former Tyrannian Federation would slander him. Of course, they would seize this opportunity with bright eyes and call the new king of the Tyrannian Empire as a new king who just came to the throne. The tyrant who made great efforts to build a palace was indulging in personal luxury as soon as he took power, which is a consistent problem of the leaders of the peasant uprising army.

The emperor was so conceited that he named the capital of the empire after himself, and there was nothing absurd that he couldn't do.

As long as Augustus is still sitting in that position, whether it is malicious slander or praise, there will be one after another.

The Augustegrad Palace is not an exquisite and elegant palace and castle, but more like an incomparable steel fortress, which symbolizes the indestructible determination and wrist of the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire.

But that would be five to six years away at the earliest, unless Augustus was willing to order more budgets to summon more workers to build the palace.

Right now, the Augustegrad Palace is only a vague prototype.Before the palace was commissioned, Augustus lived in a tall building about twenty stories high that had already been built.The building contained various departments of the new empire, including dozens of different departments such as the newly established Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Commerce, and Ministry of Health and Public Safety of the Tyranid Empire.

Ruling an interstellar empire across galaxies would require an equally vast administration, for which thousands of men would work.

With the increasing number of people, these important imperial officials appointed by the emperor himself will have to move out sooner or later.

Some people said that the new king of the Tyrann Empire was extravagant, but in fact Augustus's office was just a small elegantly decorated room, which was much simpler than the private palaces of those wealthy businessmen and tycoons.

As the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire, Augustus didn't have time to go on vacation, after all, he still had an empire to build.

Augustus had to prepare various departments of the imperial government almost from scratch, establish a new legislative, judicial and administrative system, and further decide what kind of policy the Tyrann Empire should implement next, and what kind of people would be in charge of it. Help the emperor govern this struggling new empire.

On top of the ruins and ashes of the Tyrannian Federation, the new Tyrannian Empire is in a mess, with various territories falling apart, and the raging wars have even caused the economy of some colonies to set back for half a century.Civilizations there are showing signs of decay amid prolonged anarchy and famine, amidst chaos.

At the same time, there are also internal opponents one after another. The Tyrannian Federation is a political system controlled by a large number of wealthy nobles, chaebols, and large group capital. them.

Outside, the zerg and protoss still threaten the frontiers of the Tyranid Empire, and the war has never subsided.

In this way, it was impossible for Augustus to recruit these local nobles into the Senate like the old federation did, let alone delegate power to the upcoming imperial parliament.Now is not the time for broader democracy.

If the Tyrannian Empire itself was a political system with a declining economy and a weak military, unable to even protect itself, there would be no time to discuss republican democracy and give the power of the country to clowns who only yelled in parliament.

Augustus the Great, the de facto President and Prime Minister of the Tyranid Empire, enjoyed the rights of both, and was the supreme leader of the empire and government, the head of state.In fact, this is another autocratic monarchy system, and the power of the country is concentrated in the hands of Augustus.

If you are not careful, the Tyrannian Empire will be defeated by enemies everywhere as soon as it is established.

The people of this empire urgently need time to recuperate, but the enemies of the empire will not give Augustus a chance.

Current events make heroes.

"Your Majesty (the title in the game), the speech has caused a sensation in many places. Whether it is from the public's reaction or public opinion, the situation is very favorable for you." Sarah Kerrigan at the table of Augustus Before putting down a cup of black tea.

"Mayor Hadrian of Tarsonis also organized children in the city to write to you."

"...Oh, show me." Augustus put down the draft on the reorganization of the Keha Revolutionary Army and the formation of the Imperial Army, and another document next to it was about the establishment of the empire's first higher military academy suggestion.

There are too many things to do, and it is impossible to finish.

These letters are all electronic files, and Augustus quickly found them on his personal computer connected to the communication system of the entire planet. Those immature but full of admiration words immediately made the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire, who had worked for many days, understand. Heart smile.

"This Hadrian Rodriguez is the original mayor of Tarsonis, I remember this person." Augustus carefully read a few letters, and put together a file folder for the reply. Regan put it this way:
"I hope he can do a good job during his tenure, but I don't need the old federal way. He is a shrewd and capable person, and he is also very smart, but smart people can also be self-defeating."

"I see." Kerrigan bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty."

"You can just call me Augustus, at least in private." Augustus looked at Kerrigan for a while, pointed to the old Revolutionary Army navy uniform on her body and said:

"You know what I'm thinking, so I won't persuade you." He said, "I told Cavill (the son of Charles, the old butler of the Mengsk family, and now the butler of the Augustgrad Palace), you Need some dresses for public appearances."

"The ones I have in my closet are good," Kerrigan says.

"You are my future wife, do you know? The people of the Tyranid Empire also hope that their queens will be elegant and dignified women." Augustus looked at Kerrigan and said.

"Who said queens can't wear military uniforms?" Kerrigan said so, but such a straightforward person suddenly turned his head away, and the corners of his mouth kept rising uncontrollably.

There has never been a federal nobleman or government official who has ever married a psyker, let alone an imperial queen.Only in this matter, Augustus does not want anyone under his command to question himself.

"Kerrigan is right." At this moment, Arcturus Mengsk, wearing a gold and red royal guard uniform, entered the emperor's office.

"Mom would also say she shouldn't dress too poorly, our family can afford a few clothes."

"You are here, Prince Arcturus, Grand Duke Tarsonis, Earl Wolfric, Earl Stilling." Augustus looked up at Arcturus and read out a long list of titles.

"Enough, you don't need to bury me anymore." While Augustus became emperor, Arcturus made up a long list of titles for himself, and now even he himself feels embarrassed.

"Have Angus and Mom arrived?" Augustus didn't even laugh at him.

"Here, Faraday has picked them up at Auguste Grad Airport. Dorothy is also here, what a surprise." For Arcturus, this was indeed a surprise.

"I am going to appoint Angus as Minister of the Treasury and form a cabinet around him. Do you think it is appropriate?" Augustus asked his brother: "It is inevitable that some people will say that I am nepotism."

"Angus is the least likely to use his power to embezzle and accept bribes to accumulate power, and you will never choose from officers like Tychus." Arcturus shrugged his shoulders.

"That's really a mouse fell into the oil tank." Augustus smiled rarely: "I heard that this old boy has been doing well in Tarsonis recently, but he knows how to restrain himself."

"Akturs, have all the directors, teachers and students of the Federal Ghost Academy locked up by Stukov been found?" He asked again.

"I found it. The earthlings who hate the genetic mutants did not execute these people. There are a total of more than 600 active ghost agents, about 700 faculty members and more than [-] students." This is also Aktur Reasons for coming here:
"According to your order, the ghost instructor who trained Kerrigan back then has been found. His name is indeed Rum. It was this person who indirectly killed Kerrigan's father and trained her into an efficient ghost agent. "

"Daddy committed suicide." Kerrigan's emotions were greatly affected, but he did regard the ruthless federal instructor as an enemy.

"Now, what to do with him is your freedom, Sarah." Augustus whispered to Kerrigan:

"I said, I will help you avenge." His voice sounded soft: "Or if you don't bother to do it yourself, then I will teach others to sink him into the lake."

"No, let me kill him myself, and I will pay with blood." Kerrigan was still smiling just now, but now his face was frosty.The training methods of the ghost academy in the early days brought great pain to the psykers, not just Kerrigan. Without the function of the psionic suppressor to force obedience, the ghost agents of the revolutionary army would almost want their instructors killed.

After finishing speaking, Kerrigan walked out of the office resolutely, the look in her eyes was really murderous.

This matter is bound to be settled.

"What a ruthless woman, listen to me, how about the daughter of the Bennett family?" Arcturus still did not give up his plan to squeeze Kerrigan away: "Or, Annabella Terra's How is the little girl?"

"Don't you like psykers?"

"Why don't you dare to say that in front of her." Augustus shook his head: "No matter what, I will always only have this queen."

"Also, did you spread the rumor?"

"Your Majesty, your loyal subjects will never spread groundless rumors, unless it is true." Arcturus smacked his lips.

"Well, what about the preparations for the Imperial Senate?" Augustus didn't have time to argue with his stupid brother:
"The Imperial Senate—it's different from the federation era. Each planet has to send representatives instead of assigning seats based on population and economy. In the past, marginal worlds couldn't even say anything in the federal parliament."

"This cannot be completed in a few days. You must know that about half of the former federal territories have not been recovered by us. There are also many immigration places established by immigrants themselves outside the federal immigration plan." Ake Tours replied.

"The fleet must be dispatched as soon as possible to allow them to recognize the sovereignty of the Tyranid Empire over their homeland."

"I know, but there are really no more fleets to deploy. Both Tyrador's Zerg and Attica's Tadarin Protoss need a strong fleet to deal with." Augustus has no good way:

"Fortunately, there is a solution to the plague in Agria and other places."

Artanis, the protoss executive who came to help the Revolutionary Army against the hybrid, remained on Korhal and even participated in the formation of the Tyranid Empire.Due to the mission, Artanis has many protoss biological scientists who study hybrids.

In this way, Augustus commissioned the scientists of the Protoss Empire under Artanis to develop an antidote against the Zerg virus.

The reason why the Protoss didn't do this kind of research before is because they don't have to worry about the infection of Zerg, and they don't waste time and effort to save humans.But in fact, Protoss has such technological strength.

"Inform the fleet that the protoss has developed a nano-serum that can deal with viruses, and the fleet to Agria will set off immediately today." Augustus said:

"I also want to go out with the fleet."

"You are the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire, so just let your generals do the expedition." Arcturus objected.

"Didn't I say that?" Augustus just said calmly.

"Where there is me, is the Tyrann Empire."

　During the Battle of Stukov, the protoss had developed a nano-serum to cure Stukov's infection.

　　Although the protoss still burned when they saw the infection later, that was what happened to Wings of Liberty four years later.
