StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Augustus's unreliable father Angus may have been a brilliant statesman and demagogue, but he knew nothing about military affairs. He stubbornly believed that Korhal's tens of millions of people and less than 250,000 mobilized troops could compete with the powerful Tyranid federal government, and Umoyan's weapon support was simply not enough for Korhal's army to even out its disadvantage.

The Tyranid Federation has a fleet and resocialized soldiers, but Korhal IV lacks the most basic power armor.

One year from now, Korhal IV will become a brutal battlefield.

Naturally, the more he thought about it, the more Augustus understood that he and the Mengsk family were as fragile as candles in the wind.

Now, Augustus has gradually assumed his identity as the leader of the rebel army and began to think about how he should deal with the severe situation and complex and ever-changing political environment in the future.

Reality forced Augustus to make early plans for the future. He had to take a long-term view and lay out his plans for more than ten years. If Augustus had to engage in a new war, he would have to win the final victory and overthrow the federal government.

Regardless of hatred, faith, or ideals of liberating the people of Korhal and Tyran, Augustus was simply forced.

Augustus had to deal with any people or forces that might help him in advance, and he knew that Umoyan's support was far from enough.

At present, this type of person Augustus has only come into contact with Hill, the future mercenary leader, and this person is worth using. Tychus barely counted half of it, and he held in his hands a black market trading network of unknown value.

In the near future, Augustus will inevitably resell the captured federal military supplies. The Kemerian Consortium and Umoyan would be big customers, but Augustus couldn't count on them entirely.

After wandering around town a few times, Augustus finally led the buyers to a long-abandoned, unattended underground garage. Renault took Amy Brandon and others with electromagnetic guns to guard two trucks full of weapons.

The man with a big belly trotted over and lifted up the canvas on the truck. When he saw the neat and tidy equipment, an expression of surprise appeared on his face. He turned to his men and said, "Quick, come here and count the weapons and check if they can be used."

Then, he caressed a piece of power armor lovingly, as if caressing his lover.

Although the power armor is all old model CMC-200, and the armor is often worn, they can still sell for high prices. As for the two Goliath armed robots that have been retired but are still well maintained, they are priceless treasures. Some people are willing to buy these powerful walking mechas, but Augustus still wants to keep them for his own use.

Because both the Tyranid Federation and the Kaimorian Alliance give the recovery of power armor after the war as their first priority, even higher than treating the wounded and burying corpses. In order to prevent the leakage of technology, some of the Federation's unique high-tech weapons - such as the airdrop pods in the research and development trial stage are even equipped with automatic decomposition power supply, which will automatically disintegrate and decompose one minute after landing.

This has resulted in very little standard equipment living abroad, and it will be more than ten years before retired Marines who can be hired by entire companies will appear.

At a time when class conflicts in the Terran Federation are easily intensifying, demonstrations in the city have gradually evolved into riots involving beating, smashing, looting, and burning. The seemingly ubiquitous revolutionary army that can never be wiped out is inciting workers to revolt in the fringe sector. Destroy the army's transportation and supply lines.

By this year, this sometimes even forced local governments to mobilize marines and expand police establishments. Those wealthy tycoons, entrepreneurs, bankers and major shareholders of listed companies are in urgent need of a group of powerful private armed forces to stop thugs who dare to rob their property and deal with the assassinations of the revolutionary army.

Therefore, arms reselling is not only profitable, but can often lead to huge profits. Of course, the premise is that Auguste has channels and background.

"That's great." He said, "Mr. Nicholas, you really didn't lie to us."

"The servo engine, fusion core, and armor frame are all intact, and the built-in computer has been reprogrammed and uses a third-party system." Augustus said.

"I'm very satisfied." The pot-bellied man turned around and glanced at the soldiers with live ammunition beside Augustus.

"Perhaps we can deepen our cooperation in the future." He stretched out a hand and shook it with Augustus: "We are the Cerberus Project. We are just a little-known small biotechnology company now, but there will always be opportunities. One day, we will be famous all over the world and then go public."

"This shouldn't be difficult." Augustus remembered the name. Cerberus was a confidential project during the Tyranids. Its main research projects were resocialization engineering, limb modification, and control of zerg. But the relationship between this company and the Empire's Cerberus project is unclear, as the actual Cerberus project was not rebuilt until 2500 years later. The possibility of having the same name is relatively high, but in fact there may not be much connection.

As the three-headed dog of hell in Greek mythology, the word cerberus is often associated with monsters. Both the Kaimorian Federation and the Tyranid Federation have weapons or special forces named after this name.

"What is your company's main research, biological genetic modification? There is a huge market for this in Tarsonis and Korhal."

"Well" the man seemed a little embarrassed to say: "We are currently only studying how to control Umoyan cows so that these creatures can produce milk according to our needs. But the technology we use is definitely the most cutting-edge, and our scientists have been able to Special organic substances that can continue to grow are implanted in the third temporal lobe of the brain of Umoyan cows to control their pregnancy response."

"There should be quite a market for this. Is this also useful for people?" Augustus asked casually: "Of course, I don't want to get girls pregnant."

"No, no, no." The man waved his hand quickly: "We can't test on living people, it's against morality."

"I'm just asking." Augustus said: "We should each leave a fixed contact information that will not be easily changed. The boss behind me will definitely be interested in your project."

"You can come to me anytime."

In any case, Augustus was still quite interested in this company. If possible, Augustus wouldn't mind leading the future War Dog Cerberus project.

"I'm extremely happy." The man made a twisted ceremonial gesture, which looked like the style of an old aristocrat from a certain main star world.

By the time several bodyguards had checked their equipment and reported to the pot-bellied man, Augustus had already left their contact information with him. Next, Augustus' men began to examine the banknotes.

The price had been negotiated long ago. A total of about 12 million credit coins were purchased for this batch of equipment, the bulk of which was powered armor. This is enough to buy a 60-square-meter house in Queens Colhar IV Stillling.

The Cerberus Project people quickly drove away in the truck. During Rick's report, Augustus learned that at least ten armed men went to respond.

"We have to leave as soon as possible." Tychus said, looking at the two Raptor armored vehicles in the parking lot: "In this business, it is common for the gangsters to take advantage of the gangsters."

"What are you afraid of?" Augustus told him not to be so nervous: "We are here for vacation, and we must at least have one meal before going back.

Augustus then led the Heavenly Demons out of the parking lot, and Tychus followed him, and he was not shy either.

They turned into a not-so-depressed commercial street and walked into a Gothic-style hot spring hotel. From the outside, this towering Gothic building is extremely gorgeous. The bow-shaped window that reflects the deep yellow light has a row of slender stone columns arranged in a radial pattern. The shell-colored railings outside the window are carved with Byzantine lions.

Everyone carries a gun, so no one dares to covet the contents of the box.
