StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 8 D Company Second Row First Class

Augustus's class is a full-strength class, with a total of 12 students.In wartime, a full squad of Tyrannian Federation Marines would have three four-man fire teams, with more elite units equipped with single-man shoulder rockets and plasma flamethrowers to provide the necessary heavy Fire support, as a powerful battlefield fulcrum.

During the time when the sources of soldiers and medical personnel were abundant, the Federal Interstellar Marine Corps Command believed that a standard federal fire support squad should be equipped with an additional medical soldier or professional medical personnel.However, during the Kailian Kailian battle, this situation was quite rare.

"I am Augustus Mengsk, and my hometown is Keha IV, a garden like a fairyland in a dream." Augustus stretched out his hand and held it with Renault's somewhat rough hand.

"Welcome to my house in Keha."

Unlike the rebel commander Jim Reynolds that Augustus remembered, this Reynolds was full of youthful vigor and drive, which was why he couldn't recognize him at all at first.

In the game, Reynolds' beard and beard were neatly trimmed, his forehead was full of knife-like forehead lines, weather-beaten, and wrinkles accumulated. At that time, Jim Reynolds was the core of the Rangers.

Most of the time, Renault is always positive, but sometimes, depression and depression will occupy his heart.

Augustus wrote down the names of everyone in the class and their corresponding appearance and place of birth.

Four of the 11 were of Kehab origin, two of whom had played cards with Augustus on the Dove of Peace, and the other two were his high school classmates.Of course, this should be attributed to Augustus's "good luck" all the time. A prominent family background is undoubtedly crucial to the traversers.

"You don't have to fight against me, recruits and sergeants are not dormitory administrators, and I will not restrict your freedom with military regulations and discipline." Then Augustus looked at Hanak Hanke, who was provocative before .

"I'm Augustus Mengsk, and I'm only responsible for leading the second platoon and first squad to win all the training subjects during the twelve weeks of boot camp. If necessary, I will lead you to kick the instructor's ass hard .”

Everyone unconsciously looked at Augustus, shocked by his confidence.Obviously, this Mengsk is a person who clearly knows what he wants and what he should do, and will put it into practice without hesitation.

Then, under the slightly awed gaze of all the recruits, Augustus skillfully took out a few decks of playing cards from his backpack.

"It's still early, are you playing cards?"

To everyone's surprise, after hearing these words, Harnack Hank, who was always aggressive and wanted to fight, completely forgot what he had said, and was the first to jump up immediately.

"Yeah! I like playing cards!"

"..."

The game lasted until almost twelve o'clock, and Harnack, penniless and out of clothes, had lost his third pair of underwear and was clutching his last.Renault and Augustus each had a pair of lace trousers in front of them.

Young people from the main star worlds and colonies of the Federation sat on beds and chairs and played cards. The dormitory in the second row was full of cheers, booing, and Harnack's wailing.

It's not that Augustus and Reynolds are so good at playing cards, it's just that Harnack's cards always stink, and they look like bad luck.

Soon Harnack lost his underwear, so he unbuttoned his belt to take off the one on his body.

For the first time, Renault showed a terrified expression, and Augustus looked more solemn than ever. He immediately stood up and wanted to stop the red-haired recruit who was taking off his pants.

And at this moment, the seemingly indestructible platinum thunder steel wall behind him suddenly cracked, and a group of human soldiers in dark armor and holding electromagnetic rifles rushed in, raised their guns and pointed them at the bewildered man. recruits.

"Huh!" Harnack lifted his panties in horror, even so half of his ass was still exposed.

"What are you looking at! You perverts!"

Compared with Harnack, the reactions of the others were more normal. Most of them were terrified and sat on the ground or stood in a daze, like frozen octopus. Others instinctively lay down on the ground looking for cover .

Although he was really taken aback, Augustus still sat with his expression unchanged.At the first moment, Augustus recognized the guild badge on these black-armored soldiers - Tovey Industry, a dark green ring engraved with a hexagram symbol in the center.

This is Kelmorian's Ripper unit, composed of the strongest and bravest fighters in the union. Its position on the battlefield is equivalent to the most ordinary marines in the Federation Marine Corps. It is the most solid union army. Cornerstone.

It is a fantasy that they can appear in the recruit training camp during this time period. As far as Augustus knows, the "Tulasis Main Base" where he is located is one of the strongest military fortresses in the Tyrann Federation. Featuring the largest known underground airport on the planet.

In addition to the recruits and the engineering corps, there are two main battalions and a Goliath armed robot company stationed inside the fortress. Tens of thousands of engineers, mechanics and other logistics personnel maintain the operation of this huge fortress.

If Kel Morian wanted to capture this fortress, he would have to mobilize at least the main force at the division level and a large number of artillery regiments, armored brigades, and air forces to cooperate with the attack, and a troop mobilization of this scale could not be silent.

Taking a step back, even if the commander of Kel Morian uses unpredictable means to let his troops avoid orbital detectors, thermal imaging sensors, ground vibration sensors, scouts and outposts, when the real fight However, what they are fighting against is also the main federal force on the periphery of the fortress, and it cannot be the recruit training camp in the center.

The most obvious loophole is the way they appear. It is absolutely impossible to smash the Plaid steel wall with a single electromagnetic gun.Not to mention, the opposite side of the wall was actually the second class dormitory next to them, and when Augustus looked out from the crack in the wall, he only saw a bright crimson desert.

"This is a holographic projection, guys." Augustus said calmly to the panicked recruits almost at the same time as the Kel-Morian Ripper appeared.

Highly realistic holographic projections are expensive luxury goods for the common people, but they are only a common part of daily life in the Mengsk family.

Augustus' intuition told him that when something is so absurd that it is completely contrary to reality, then he has to construct the truth by himself through known clues.

"Sit down, let's continue playing cards."

These two sentences immediately calmed down the recruits in the class. At this moment, most of them have not been able to react, but at this moment they have the illusion that Augustus will never be wrong.

As soon as the words fell, an ice-blue flame burst out from the muzzle of the union-style electromagnetic rifle in the hands of the Camerian soldiers. Augustus seemed to be able to feel the bullets passing through his chest, but this was obviously not true.

The recruit Tom Omo sat down on the ground in fright, and Harnack turned his head to look at him, as if to see if he was scared to pee his pants.

Afterwards, these Kel Morian soldiers did not continue to shoot, but the data light spots that suddenly turned into black condensed into a non-commissioned officer in uniform.The noncommissioned officer's face may have been deliberately synthesized by artificial intelligence. It is ordinary and featureless.

"I am Mechanical Sergeant Tavis. Starting today, I will help you with your training. Remember, the enemy will appear in front of you at any time and any place. Even in the rear base, you must always be vigilant." That The holographic projection portrait said.

"Don't let me catch you, you piece of shit!" Harnack looked at him, and made a contemptuous gesture without concealment, and then he himself didn't feel satisfied, so he gestured with his middle finger—from the earth "Cultural heritage" that has been passed down through the ages.

"Recruit Hanak Hanke, your name has been recorded by the Central Security Bureau. This is the first warning. You should maintain due respect to the commander." The holographic projection was expressionless in every sense. The face spoke.

"Be careful, Reynolds, they must have installed this advanced projector in every corner." Augustus looked at Jim Reynolds who was sitting beside him while Harnack cursed in a low voice: "It must have cost the taxpayers A lot of money."

"I'm sure, my family's farm also has a share of this money." Renault chuckled.
