As of June 22, a full month has passed since the gate of the unn Universe News Network headquarters was occupied by terrorists. This incident was called "the biggest scandal in the history of the Federal Parliament" by news media groups and independent writers.
As time goes by, it continues to heat up and ferment, affecting every aspect of the lives of thousands of federal citizens.
The Korhal people are undoubtedly the main group that has been most affected. There are now less than two million people in the Korhal galaxy, and most of them are troops stationed on space orbital defense platforms and satellites. The last batch of large-scale transportation
The immigrant colonial fleet has also left.
Today, every city on the planet has a launch port that uses electromagnetic orbital acceleration technology to launch interstellar shuttles. These oblique launch ports with red and green lights flashing on their surfaces are more powerful than any Sky Tower of the Creation Family.
It is huge and majestic, like a silent giant standing among the tall buildings.
At night, the light pollution problem criticized by environmentalists was finally solved as the city and even the planet came to a halt. The dazzling artificial clouds that kept the lights on every night in Steele City disappeared for the first time in decades.
in people's sight.
Even when standing on the Mengsk Sky Tower, the tallest building in the center of Stillling City, and looking into the distance, one can only see some faint lights in the distance, and those are without exception military facilities and heavy factories.
Those towering skyscrapers were shrouded in darkness, as silent as tombstones.
The original plan to build a fortress on the surface of Korhal was also abandoned. All available building materials, steel frames, vehicles, and suspended trains were dismantled and cast into ships. All luxuries that were deemed to have no use for the colonists
and heavy furniture were concentrated in landfills or burned. After the Korhal people left, even a once extremely prosperous political, economic and cultural center like Stillling only had houses and high-rise buildings left.
empty shell.
In the early summer, the originally bustling skyscrapers in Stillling seemed like stalled gears, and the natural solemnity and calmness regained control of the city.
Humans have only been away from this planet for a few weeks, and fallen leaves have piled up on the streets. Plants and small farm animals have flocked to Steelling, making their home in the abandoned city.
This city that seems to be made of silver and glass is still so beautiful, but it has just transformed from an aristocratic lady wearing a white pleated skirt and luxurious accessories into a melancholy girl as calm as water.
The light of those two satellites was so bright. The stars above Steelling City shone brightly, and a milky ribbon stretched across the sky. The book in Lisa Kesidi's memory called "From the Earth"
The name of the light belt - Milky Way - was mentioned in the textbook "To Koprulu".
When Lisa Kesidi looked down from the Korhal Revolutionary Army Conference Hall on the top floor of the Mengsk Sky Tower, she suddenly felt sad for the people of Korhal 4. They had to leave behind the accumulation and inheritance of more than ten generations.
His homeland, heading to Umoyan and the unknown distance beyond the Koprulu Sector.
However, this disaster also brought nearly all the Korhal people together. They are more united than ever before and more aware of the overall concept of Korhal. The Korhal people are colonizing distant galaxies.
They all vowed never to forget their hatred and homeland.
After more and more Korhals are forced to embark on interstellar journeys away from their homes, this humiliation and hatred is infinitely amplified in the hearts of all Korhals.
Even so, the Keha people still have no doubt that they will return to their hometown.
"Speaker Angus..." A soft knock on the door of the conference hall made Lisa return to her seat. Although she attended the meeting as the second Minister of Health and a member of the Demons of Heaven,
But Lisa knew her opinion was irrelevant.
Lisa looked at the conference table and found several familiar faces on it, including Alander Lundstein, a member of the Heavenly Demons, the current Army Colonel, Kurt Josephine, commander of the airborne paratrooper division, and Fire Bat Hun
The leader of the regiment was Harnack Hanke. Before this, the highest military rank of these people was only first-class privates, but now they often have tens of thousands of people under their command.
As for the other Demons of Heaven, they left the Korhal system in batches as escorts for the colonial fleet. After all, they still had to preserve their strength and seeds for the Korhal Revolutionary Army.
"Let's get started." Angus Mengsk's thick gray eyebrows knitted together, his expression as serious as steel: "This is our last meeting on Korhal 4. It's been 10 years since the last one left Korhal.
Exactly forty-eight standard Earth hours have passed since the galaxy’s expeditionary fleet escaped the gravity of the star.”
Angus looked around and nodded to the officials and military officers who came to the meeting: "This is not a meeting of the Korhal Senate. I have invited the generals of the Revolutionary Army to discuss some boring issue.
Instead, I have bad news to tell everyone here: the Kemorian Federation and the Tyranid Federation just completed all the steps and procedures of the peace talks half an hour ago and signed the final peace treaty."
"The peace treaty takes effect immediately and has a time limit of twenty years."
"The legal representative of Kemorian United Mining Company told us that they tried their best to delay the situation. The diplomats of the Terran Federation were very eager, pressing forward step by step, and even made some concessions." Angus shook.
He shook his head and said: "Perhaps it is because of us that Camorion has ceded a few barren mining worlds."
"The Federation fleet is coming."
Lisa's heart tightened, as this day was finally coming. During the month of intense evacuation, many Korhals who were still on the ground did not even dare to sleep, full of fear of the coming disaster.
"..." Finance Minister Levi Henry sighed: "The public opinion offensive has had a very good effect. The UN editors and reporters who secretly serve the Intelligence Committee have also provided us with a lot of information from the federal government.
Officials’ dirt. However, a month has passed, and the spokesperson introduced by the Federation Council has still not said a word about using an Apocalypse-class nuclear bomb to destroy Korhal.”
At first, the Tyranid Federation tried its best to block the news of the open rebellion on Korhal 4, but the news of the entire planet's declaration of independence still spread like wildfire and spread within and outside the Federation's territory at a speed that made the Federation's senior officials and nobles shocked and angry.
Gradually, even the most apolitical people were discussing Korhal, and speculation about a federal government blockade spread in the streets.
People generally believe the same thing, that is, the truth must be much more serious than the little hearsay we know. There must be more than one rebel planet on Korhal 4. And the Federation Marines and Fleet must have done a good job in dealing with the rebellion.
It was a complete mess, otherwise they would have received news that the rebellion had been suppressed quickly and effectively.
After the scandal of the Federation Council was broadcast to the entire Terran Federation in the UNN headquarters building, excited people concluded that Korhal 4's revolution had achieved such unprecedented success that the Federation Council had to use nuclear weapons. People who sympathized with Korhal began to protest, and many public figures
They also criticized and condemned the atrocities committed by the Federation Council, and rebellions broke out again on many planets, including Antiga Prime.
From the ordinary civilians in the fringe world to the colonial governor and the billionaires in suits and ties in his office, everyone is saying the same few words.
Korhal, Angus, Mengsk family, rebels.
Initially, even Angus Mengsk began to have optimistic estimates about the Federation giving up the use of nuclear weapons. However, this optimism did not last long because the Federation Congress never promised not to use nuclear weapons or made any plans to do so.
any statement.
Some friendly leaders of the Tarsonis Creation Family and members of the Federal Parliament told Angus that Andrea, the hostess of the Tagore family, and the large group of nobles around her would never change the issues that had been passed.
The glaciers that never melt remain colder.
"The possibility of using public opinion to get the Federal Parliament to abandon this plan is extremely slim. Will the leaders of the Founding Family really change their minds because of the implications for the common people that they don't care about?" Angus said: "I understand those who are above us.
The founding families of the world, precisely because I was once one of them, are arrogant and indifferent and refuse to admit that they will fail in anything."
"Be prepared for war - I don't think I need to say anything more." Angus said: "The blocking war will start in outer space orbit."
"We have used all the resources we can mobilize to build two new high-altitude orbital defense platforms and space-based weapons stations with the assistance of Umoyan space construction drones." Secretary of Defense Mr. Harry Wilder
Said: "The anti-aircraft missile launch towers towering on the two satellites are enough to shoot down the battlecruisers of the Federation fleet."
He paused for a few seconds and then said: "I said that this battle is by no means meaningless. We had the opportunity to leave with the colonial fleet, but we still chose to stay."
"Because this may be the only opportunity to attract and delay the Federation fleet. Only in this way can the First Fleet succeed in raiding the Delarian Shipyard. If his fleet had not encountered the Alpha Squadron, it would have to be repaired and
With additional ships, the success of this raid could be much greater."
"But that's it, we will still believe in him as always." Lundstein said.
"It's impossible for him to fail." Josephine said calmly.
"Because he is Augustus." Lisa nodded seriously. Although Lisa recently had reservations about the fact that there was a young and beautiful red-haired girl beside Augustus, this does not mean that
Prevent her from speaking well of Augustus.
"Colonel Lundstein, like you, I have never doubted that my son will fail." Angus is qualified to say this. His confidence in his son is no less than that of the demons in heaven.
"York, how many people are still unwilling to leave Korhal?"
"People from the Phils Territory and the Ice Tribe refused to leave Korhal 4. Nearly 3,000 people from Norman Hawk stayed. They left the city and built tents and simple camps on the outskirts," said the director of the Korhal Immigration Bureau.
: "After statistics, the number is about 70,000. Some are old people who are unwilling to leave their homeland, and some are surrenderers."
"Let them be." Angus said after a moment of silence, "We have done our best."
"How many troops and logistics personnel are there on the surface?" he asked again.
"There are still 190,000 people," said the director of the Immigration Bureau.
"Everyone evacuates Korhar." Angus said, "Take what they can..."
"We can't stay on the ground anymore." At this moment, Angus suddenly stood up, and a sudden sense of oppression made him frown: "Inform the guards to prepare the shuttle to fly to the orbital defense platform."
"You cannot go to the front lines," Lundstein shouted. "You must leave Korhal 4 immediately."
"Yes, the spaceship directly to Yumoyang is ready." said the Minister of Transportation.
It seems that everyone is hiding the secret from Angus and is determined to force him out of Korhal. From the beginning to the end, Angus is the only one who thinks that he will stay in Korhal to fight with the revolutionary army.
Several officers held Angus down tightly and tried to send him to the spacecraft, but they triggered his thunderous anger: "You have made me a coward!"
Angus forcefully shook off the hands that were holding him: "How could I do such a thing? How could I leave more than a million Keha warriors to go to Umoyan to meet their parents!"
"If I die in Korhal, then I will still have my son to inherit my career. You think I am a politician who only talks on the podium - but after all, I personally sent so many people to the battlefield.
"Angus said to them.
"No need to persuade me anymore, my decision will never change."
Just when Angus was about to say something, a holographic projection screen suddenly popped up on the conference hall table. On it was a sergeant from the Korhal Revolutionary Army Marines. This sergeant was from an outpost.
Commander, his outpost is on a deserted planet in the outermost reaches of the Korhal system.
"We have detected spatial fluctuations in the hyperspace jump..." In the roar and smoke caused by the explosion, the communication stopped abruptly. Everyone could predict what happened.
Lisa stood up with the others.
"God—" she whispered.
"So fast?" The Minister of Transportation was shocked: "It takes at least a week to sail from the edge world to Korhal."
"You're so naive that I'm surprised." Josephine said sarcastically, "We don't have an accurate train timetable to follow."
"This is most likely the first batch of federal fleets to arrive. They will set sail a week or two in the morning." Angus said: "They don't care whether this will distract the military or alert the enemy."
Harnack made a sharp comment when he stood up and put on his military coat: "Because they are just crushing an ant on the way."
