"Alpha Squadron..." Lieutenant Colonel Edmund Duke's sharp-edged head with a raised forehead and triangular eyes like a poisonous snake suddenly appeared in front of Augustus' eyes. His shoulder bones were high and his arms were long and thick.
, like a silverback gorilla that is always in a state of rage.
"How many ships did Edmund Duke bring?" He looked at his chief of staff.
"...Normally, a naval squadron has ten to fifteen battlecruisers, but Alpha Squadron has lost its flagship and several battleships in previous fleet battles. In these months, they
It is unknown whether new warships have been replenished." The chief of staff put down a stack of information documents in his hand and looked at Augustus: "The communication between Alpha Squadron and the Governor's Palace of Mar Sara Immigration was very brief."
"Unlike the overwhelming bombardment of signals for help from the Governor's Palace, Alpha Squadron's flagship only made a brief reply and sent the estimated time of arrival to the Governor's Palace - about forty standard hours later, and our old friend Edmund
The colonel seemed to disdain to say a few more words to Governor Mar Sara."
"Oh? What did he say?" Warfield and Duke quickly ignored him. No one in Arcturus's 33rd Ground Assault Division liked Alpha Squadron very much, especially the arrogant and arrogant leader of the Blood Eagles.
Edmund Duke was very cold.
The Duke family is a gathering of stars. This prominent family was the leader of the settlers before the colonial fleet's lead carrier, the Najirfar, landed on the surface of Tarsonis. They controlled the voice of the military, and in Tyranid
The rule of the Federation has long been entrenched and cannot be shaken.
However, Edmund is still an oddball among his eccentric family members. With his experience in the navy for most of his life, and having fought through the entire Kailian War, logically speaking, he should be worthy of one.
He has become a general, but he is still a colonel now.
Logically speaking, Duke is not incompetent, and he has family background to support him, so he will not be able to become a general until now. And people like Warfield and Augustus know this very well, that is, Duke
Ke's victories were not as many as he boasted, and the defeats or catastrophes that were covered up by various military files directly affected his promotion.
"Edmund just said that the governor of Mar Sara was a complete fool, and the reason why he was not shot dead by the rebels was just bad luck." Augustus' chief of staff said.
"It can be said that the Federal Council has lost face. Not only the Kemorian Commonwealth and the United States of Umoyan, but also some private media organizations and private radio stations have received the distress signal from Governor Mar Sara."
The Chief of Staff, who was nearly fifty years old and had a former military academy principal, made no secret of his disdain for Governor Mar Sala and his bureaucrats.
"Now the federal government in Tarsonis has no way to cover up the fact that the Mar Sara Federation army was completely defeated. Soon, the entire Koprulu sector will know that the Federation has suffered another defeat at the hands of the revolutionary army."
"This is the best propaganda offensive." Augustus showed an inspiring smile on his face, and waved his hands to other people in the conference hall and said, "This is also a good start."
"This undoubtedly reveals to the world the incompetence of government officials in the immigration areas and the unstoppable power of the revolutionary fighters. Justice and fairness are always on our side. The people's eyes have always been blinded by all kinds of whitewashed news, and
Today is the day they are closest to their true appearance."
Unknowingly, everyone began to applaud, and a military advisor recorded what Augustus said in shorthand on his personal terminal using the shorthand symbols he wrote. In the future, if this name does not exist
The military adviser who impressed Augustus so deeply decided to write an autobiography of Augustus Mengsk would no doubt quote these words today.
When the applause died down, Augustus asked Warfield and others behind him to sit down at the conference table. Warfield sat with Harnack and Rundstein, while Kerrigan stood beside Augustus.
Next to him, he refused to sit down.
While Augustus was speaking, Lisa and Kerrigan's eyes met no less than a hundred times. Their eyes were sharp, as if there were swords hidden in their eyes, and they looked like mongooses on the grassland.
"Next, I want to announce my new decision." Now, Augustus was the only one standing in the entire conference hall, and everyone had to look up to see his eyes.
"Abandon the plan to attack and seize the high-energy gas refinery in the northern hemisphere, and cancel all instructions related to it."
Augustus said: "Recall the two brigades of Sinar Xinge and a company of Goliath armed robots, and order them to advance towards the capital area to seize and at least hold on to the Gasuo 4 Highlands of the Mar Sara Planet Defense Force.
Forty-eight standard hours.”
"The Reynolds Ranger Brigade of Lorenzana continues to move east, and Tychus's Wolf Hunters set off today to join Mira Han's Port of the Dead brigade, and then move south... encircling the capital area, but the encirclement
Instead of attacking."
When Augustus said this, a three-dimensional holographic projection map was projected above the conference table in time. Artificial intelligence identified and marked every location Augustus mentioned on the map, marking
One arrow after another marked the direction of march.
"Marshal, I'm worried that the troops in Port of the Dead may not be able to fulfill the responsibilities you have assigned them." Warfield and others did not speak. The one who expressed his opinion was a second-level political commissar from the First Division of the Revolutionary Army. He mainly
Responsible for conveying the highest directives from Augustus and the latest revolutionary ideas to the Pantalon Revolutionary Party Committee organizations and party members in the army.
"Although these recruits from the Port of the Dead have already completed the four-month training in the boot camp and served for more than five months, they have not participated in a large-scale battle. Not to mention that the commander of them is still a little girl.
" said the political commissar.
Due to the lack of senior officers under Augustus, it often happened that a non-commissioned officer or even a first-class private became a lieutenant or a colonel at the speed of a rocket.
For example, Major General Jim Reno of the Revolutionary Army was just a corporal squad leader in the Tyranid Federation Marines. Even during the war, it would take at least five years for him to become a general. Reno's actual promotion journey was like a rocket.
rising.
Mira Han, who is now seventeen years old, learned how to operate CMC power armor in less than three weeks after joining the Revolutionary Army. She completed all courses and received full marks in subjects including shooting.
After graduating early, she was assigned to Corporal Faraday's Guards Company by Augustus.
After the more than 70,000 recruits recruited in the Port of the Dead completed recruit training, Mira was transferred by Augustus to a battalion formed by these recruits as captain and deputy battalion commander. Immediately afterwards, Mira Han's military rank
In less than four months, he completed several enviable jumps and became the lieutenant colonel and brigade commander of the first brigade of the first division of the Korhal Revolutionary Army's Port of the Dead Legion.
