StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 118 The War of Independence

In the temporary command center of the Revolutionary Army located inside the Palatine Council Hall, Augustus and his Umoyan staff officers were standing in front of a long seat that had been moved from the main hall of the Council Hall. Korhal global map, each flag represents a Federation or Korhal Revolutionary Army unit.

Augustus looked at a flag representing the Federal Marine Barracks on the edge of Stillling City and said nothing, while the staff officers around him were having a heated discussion.

A week before Angus delivered his Declaration of Independence speech this morning, soldiers from Korhal's divisions began to assemble. They were transported to various cities via the railway train transportation network that spanned the various continents of Korhal, and the ignorant and incompetent Korhal government was not unaware of this.

It's just that when the lower-level officials learned the news, they either had no reaction at all and had no idea what it meant, or they chose to conceal it and let others report it on their behalf to avoid responsibility.

While Governor Korhal was waiting for news that a large-scale civilian armed force was gathering, this distant relative of the founding family of Tarsonis was still unwilling to accept this because of his long-term comfort. When more information poured into the governor's office, he remembered to notify the commanders of the Korhal Defense Force and the Federation Marine Corps to request support from Tarsonis.

On the issue of how to encircle and suppress these armed forces, the Korhal Defense Force and the Marine Corps, two forces belonging to different interest groups, began to shirk their responsibilities, conserve their strength, and place their hopes on the federal army that would arrive to support them.

After procrastinating again and again, Augustus, who knew the importance of military strength and speed, had already deployed a large number of troops at various strategic locations and heavy factories and star ports that needed to be captured as soon as possible.

The local Korhal defense forces were all Korhar people. Most of the defense troops fell to Augustus without hesitation. The rest and the marines together only numbered less than 100,000 people.

Although this was an army with poor discipline and lax training, Augustus still did not dare to take it lightly. The advantage of the Federation army lies in their solid fortifications, powerful power armor and heavy weapons. Some of the Avengers fighter jets in the geostationary space station and star port that are facing retirement can also provide them with strong air support.

Among the Korhar Revolutionary Army, only two brigades of Lundstein's 1st Division and Kidd's 2nd Division had completed the replacement of power armor and C-14 electromagnetic rifles, with a total of only 60,000 people. Augustus deployed these elite troops in Stillling, where the Federation was heavily stationed, and in Balik, a heavy industrial city in the southern hemisphere. The attack was launched on time and on time, just as Angus began his speech. that moment.

Fortunately, the combat capabilities of Korhal IV's federal marines did not "disappoint" Augustus. Their combat effectiveness was not even as good as the recruits on the front line, let alone compared with the resocialized soldiers.

Korhal has eight cities with more than one million people and 14 federal military bases. Five of them did not even require an offensive by the revolutionary army. The rioters infected by fanaticism, the defense forces and self-organized militias who deserted the battle. The armed forces took control of the entire city.

There are only about 50,000 federal marines scattered across multiple military bases, city barracks, and orbiting space stations, and fewer than 30,000 soldiers actually participated in the war. When the Revolutionary Army soldiers invaded the federal outpost, they even found drunken federal marines lying on the ground sleeping.

In just one day, the fire of revolution swept across the entire Korhal like a prairie fire.

Good news comes frequently.

But Augustus and his comrades had not had time to celebrate. The federal marines were not useless. Some of the marines who had retreated from the front line had an amazing fighting capacity. They relied on the city walls, bunker groups, armor and weapons to attack local areas. The area even briefly repelled the offensive of the Revolutionary Army, and the soldiers of the Korhal Revolutionary Army who lacked power armor suffered heavy losses as a result.

In the fourteenth hour after the war broke out, the number of casualties on both sides exceeded 100,000, and it was still rising. Private hospitals in various cities began to accommodate disabled soldiers.

On this day, there are cheers and cries for those who have lost their loved ones.

By the afternoon of the third day, Augustus, who had not slept all night, was finally relieved to receive the news that the Ranger Air Force Squadron led by Renault had captured the Federation Geosynchronous Orbital Base. Augustus, who was not sleepy, immediately appointed chief engineer Rory Swann and his team to immediately build an orbital platform and a space-based weapon station in orbit.

Fifteen of the twenty-two major battlefields were won by the Korhal Revolutionary Army's rapid and powerful offensive. The federal army also showed signs of decline on the remaining battlefields.

When the report of casualties was submitted to Augustus, he fell into a long silence. Augustus tried to write down these thousands of names, but he couldn't.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Korhal's largest military fortress, the War Plains Fortress outside Stillling City, declared its fall. With the support of Umoyan's railguns and powerful laser rail weapons, the 1st Division Commander Long Destein led his soldiers into the fortress and killed the enemy commander.

The War Plains are of extraordinary significance to the Korhal people.

This is a vast plain facing the city of Stillling. A ribbon-like river flows through this place. The flora and fauna on both sides of the bank are well protected. However, tourists or painters who appreciate the beautiful scenery have probably already Forgetting what the War Plains meant, forgetting the first war between the Korhal colonists and the Tarsonis.

The War Plains was also the place where the original colonists of Korhal IV reached a reconciliation with the federal government of Tarsonis and submitted themselves under a unified regime. Since then, Union Marines have been stationed in the War Plains, which has long been under the jurisdiction of the Union Army. Now that the Korhal people have regained the War Plains, it also means that Korhal has re-separated from the federal government.

At this time, Augustus fell on the chair as if his strength had been drained, and the exhausted staff helped him to a camp bed.

Augustus slept for less than six hours and hurried to Stillling City Hall to announce the election of a new Senate for his father, appointing officials selected from the Pan-Taylan National Federation Front (PTF), among whom there were also some original officials. Government officials were also retained.

This is not because they have proven to be honest and talented, but compared to their colleagues with a record of bad records, these people are not hopeless after all, and the new government still needs them to maintain basic administrative functions for the time being.

Afterwards, Augustus took a spaceship to Stillling Hospital to visit the injured Revolutionary Army soldiers. The mortality rate of soldiers injured by electromagnetic guns or spider mines was very alarming, so he could only look at the dying soldiers sadly. While still awake, she dictated a suicide note or called her mother's name and closed her eyes.
