Early the next morning, the judge’s office in the Shiloh State Immigration Court.
Augustus Mengsk, wearing a brown sheriff's uniform and a wide-brimmed cowboy hat, strode up the steps in front of the judge's office, followed closely by ghost agent Sarah Kerrigan, who was well outlined in a black tights.
Show off her good figure.
"Mr. Ada, I heard someone said that you want to see me for something." As soon as he opened the door of the office, Augustus saw Echo Town Magistrate Ada Romanov staring closely at him.
"Yes, I haven't been able to contact you. I can only ask the police officers who have to change guard outside the court for twenty-five hours to find you." Judge Ada, who has short sandy blond hair, looked at Ogu carefully.
Stuart said teasingly, with his dark, beard-covered face that had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
"If you ask police officers where Sheriff Caesar is and what he is doing, they will tell you that Sheriff Caesar is busy."
"It is indeed very busy. These days are not peaceful. There are rebels everywhere. My people have fought with them several times." Augustus did not find a chair to sit down, obviously not willing to stay for a long time.
"What do you need me to do?" he asked Judge Ada.
Just like Augustus said, he was indeed very busy with the rebel affairs. But it was just because he was the leader of the rebels and was busy giving orders and directing the revolutionary army on Mar Sara to stir up troubles.
The current situation, attacking the Terran Federation's troops and military facilities.
"What do I need you to do?" Judge Ada smiled weakly: "I just hope you don't hurt my family. We used to be friends. You met my little daughter Ava, and you hugged her.
.....She called you uncle."
"I really didn't expect you to be a revolutionary party." Finally, the judge, who was well-known and respected in Echo Town, sighed deeply.
Augustus did not speak, but looked at Judge Ada calmly, as if he was not surprised by what the other party said.
"You think I am a revolutionary...What is your reason?" It took about two seconds for Augustus to speak. He neither acknowledged nor responded to what Judge Ada said.
Denial, but the meaning of the words is undoubtedly acquiescence to the other party's statement.
At this point, Augustus felt that he had no need to defend himself. Even if Augustus had never used strong methods to arrest revolutionaries since he became the magistrate to curb the revolutionary wave in Echo Town, the officials of the Echo Town government and
Judge Ada of the court had enough reasons to doubt his identity or position.
"Rumors about the Revolutionary Party began to circulate in the streets of Echo Town before you became the Sheriff... But after you became the Sheriff, this situation has not only not been curbed but has intensified. A large number of immigrants
They poured into Echo Town at the same time, and I couldn't find any record of them stopping at the Mar Sara Star Port, which means they were illegal immigrants. I can also be sure that the documents of these people were forged, because
Only people without legal status would do this." He looked at Augustus and said.
"Almost all the new police recruits are not native to Mar Sara...just like you. When you came to Mar Sara, the rebels followed. Caesar, I have always
I think you are a very capable person, you are ruthless and ruthless in dealing with criminals, but you are weak in dealing with rebels."
"I really have no evidence to prove that you have direct contact with the Revolutionary Party, but since you put me under house arrest in the name of protection, I have become more and more firm in my suspicion of you." Judge Ada said very calmly: "I made a decision
It was a wrong decision.”
"I made a hungry wolf a shepherd dog for the sheep."
"We are still friends now." After carefully listening to what the small town judge said, Augustus just looked at Judge Ada: "As you can see, you have seen the changes in Echo Town.
After four years of war, many people in the fringe world had no food to eat, the crime rate soared, and even the most innocent people were forced to become bandits, while here there was peace and stability.
"I am neither a hungry wolf nor a shepherd dog... I am just an ordinary person who dares to speak for the people at the bottom and resist tyranny and power." Augustus finally said: "I work for Mar Sara.
People bring new ideas and changes, and I defend their inherent rights as human beings and remove the shackles imposed on them by the federal government."
"This is my mission." He said: "I want to tell those who are oppressed and exploited that if a government no longer fulfills the responsibilities and obligations it promised to its people, then his people will
Have the right to overthrow him."
"An elected government should not rule the people, but be ruled by the people. Nothing else in this world is more natural than the people's demand for the rights that should belong to them."
"I know." As a federal judge, Ada Romanoff should have denounced Augustus's treasonous behavior at this moment, but perhaps knowing that his life and that of his family were in the hands of the other party, he did not show his support for the revolution.
The hatred of the party.
"I have read the pamphlet of the Pantalonian Revolutionary Party, and these words impressed me deeply... It was said by Augustus Mengsk, your leader, the man who single-handedly formed a revolutionary army.
.”
Ada didn't know that this face full of scars and traces of time came from a nano mask that clung to his face. He still thought that the person standing in front of him was a revolutionary army officer under Augustus.
"...So, I want to know what you think of this passage." Augustus looked at Judge Ada and nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully to what the other party said.
"If I didn't know that this descendant of the Khamensk family invaded Tarsonis with a huge fleet, then I would have thought that he was a pure visionary and idealist." Judge Ada hesitated.
say.
"I quite agree with many of his ideas, including the program of the Revolutionary Party... As for the Revolutionary Army, if the Revolutionary Army is really able to fight for the people as they say, then I admit my prejudice against them.
It's wrong," he said.
"But even if the Revolutionary Army really overthrows the Federation, the new ruler will definitely become a new class, and his followers will become the new founding family. What is the character of Angus Mengsk, the leader of the Korhal Uprising?
We have no way of knowing the position and purpose of the revolution launched. To be honest, I don’t have high expectations for the new regime.”
"I also have no favorable opinion of the federal government on Tarsonis. I only work for them for the sake of Echo and my family."
"No matter what, the future will be better than the present." Augustus did not directly answer Judge Ada: "We want to establish a new republic and let capable people form a government."
"Don't worry, I will never harm you or your family." Then Augustus answered the question that Judge Ada cared about most.
"Even if I believe you, when the regular government troops regain Echo Town, everyone including me will be sent to prison." Judge Ada showed helplessness: "Although I only signed on behalf of Hero's judicial officer,
Anyway, I recruited you into the police station."
"Government troops will come sooner or later. How long do you think you can stay in Mar Sara?"
"Then we can only take you away." Augustus said regretfully: "Don't worry, the ship has enough space... I will apply to my boss to transfer you to the propaganda department.
The family will also be properly accommodated."
"I don't think I have any other choice." Judge Ada spread her hands and said.
