When Augustus stepped towards the high-end suspended car prepared for him by the Camorians, he could more clearly feel the influence of Moria's 1.16 times standard gravity on him. There would be a sense of blockage in his steps and arm swings.
This is also the reason why Moria people are generally shorter than Tyranids and Umoyans. The latter two's home planet only has 0.96 times standard gravity.
In comparison, the other two planets where human civilization originated, Tarsonis and Umoyan, have only 0.96 times standard gravity.
Augustus got into the back seat of the limousine, with Kerrigan and Corporal Faraday sitting on his left and right respectively. Renault, Warfield and others, as well as Augustus's guards, boarded other cars and started in the convoy.
When walking down a downward circular road, the rows of bronze spiers and countless circular roads that alternate between high and low suddenly came into view.
"The Camorion imitates the style of the Federation Terra suspension car. The engine and intelligent navigation system are imported from Umoyan. The driver once drove for the chairman of the Kelanis Transportation Guild. Everyone here, including the guards, has received professional training.
Agent training." After sitting down, Kerrigan leaned close to Augustus and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"The board of directors of the Federation attaches great importance to you this time. They are willing to provide some help to you, the biggest enemy of the Tyranid Federation, but at the same time they are also wary of the rise of the Mengsk family."
"Let us listen carefully to the requests of the directors." Augustus sat down and straightened the hem of his military coat.
During this trip, Augustus did not have any more contact with the actual independent government of the Camorion Commonwealth. In fact, everyone knew very well who was the real person in power in the Commonwealth.
The unified government and the unions that fight for the rights of workers are just puppets and tricks supported by the capital holders who control the actual governance of the union. The capital holders control wealth, technology and knowledge, and overview their
Their ancestors were still struggling on the home planet of mankind, the Earth. They knew that a situation like the union would arise sooner or later, so they created the only union in Moria with their own hands.
The Board of Directors of the Federation is the actual power holder of the entire Kaimorian Federation, which is equivalent to the Federal Parliament and the Elected Assembly of Umoyan in the Tyranid Federation. The members of the Board of Directors come from dozens of the largest family-owned guilds and enterprises as well as the Federation.
The CEO of the Guild. Among these board members, representatives of the Moria Mining Federation and the Kelanis Transportation Guild, the two giants in the mining and transportation industry in Moria, have absolute say.
The Camorion Consortium is not a republican political system with workers as the core leadership as they advertise. In essence, it is a super enterprise group composed of many guild companies. The Camorion Consortium is a facade that uses labor unions and independent governments to decorate its appearance.
political and economic entities.
After the suspended car that Augustus was riding passed through an undulating ring road, it suddenly opened the wings that were closed on the roof. Amidst the roar of the engine ignition, the car took off in the spreading shock wave and merged into the air.
In the torrent of flying cars and spaceships in the sky.
The ring road that was getting farther and farther away from them was located thousands of feet high in the air, and was set up between tall buildings. There was a lack of green plants here, and there were not even a few green spots. Even the wedge-shaped window grilles on the bronze buildings were not visible.
It's brown.
In Moria, people's tastes, philosophy and aesthetics are stuck two centuries ago. Their simple buildings have simple appearance and almost no unnecessary ornate decorations.
For a long time, the buildings in Moria have been striving to escape the constraints of gravity and develop upwards. The vaulted and geometric early colonial architectural styles have gradually been abandoned. The city of Jacob has four arcs.
The height of the spire is getting higher and higher, and it continues to develop higher and more majestic.
In the eyes of outsiders such as Augustus, the spiers of these skyscrapers in Moria were like swords or overlapping arched sails. The exhaust gas and dust produced by the giant industries shrouded the entire city in white.
Amid the smog, high-rise residents generally need to wear auxiliary respirators to prevent dust from being inhaled into the lungs.
"Welcome to Moria, Marshal Mengsk, I believe you will like it here soon." The Kemorian diplomat sitting in the front passenger seat of the car said: "The city of Jacob cannot compare with the bustling Tasan.
Nice has something worthy of praise."
"This is the very center of the entire complex's industry. The blood of metal and refined gas flows underground. Those high-rise buildings and factories are the heart and blood vessels."
Finally, the car with an engine as gentle as a buzzer hovered over the top of a black main tower that was even grander than the Tagore Sky Tower in the main city of Tarsonis, and drove into the parking platform through the energy shield like an open curtain of light.
.
As soon as the car stopped, beret-wearing guards and directors' guild managers rushed to greet Augustus. Hundreds of people surrounded Augustus, but there were no news media among them.
reporter.
As Augustus expected, although he did not mind making a public appearance in Morea and turning the meeting into a formal diplomatic event and a meeting between the leaders of the two political systems, it was obvious that the ruler of the Commonwealth
He did not intend to recklessly offend the Terran Federation, which was suffering from the successive rebellions in the year just after the Battle of Kailian.
Although rational political analysts all believe that the Terran Federation will not launch a second Kaimo War, no one dares to guarantee this. The Federation Council that dares to directly destroy Korhal IV regardless of the pressure of public opinion will tolerate Kaimo
The Ruian Consortium and the Revolutionary Army are mixed together. Even the United States of Yumoyang, which has been strongly supporting the Korhal rebel forces, dare not do so.
What is quite funny is that the petite Sarah Kerrigan stood in front of Augustus with her chest raised, while Corporal Faraday wearing a large-brimmed military hat was busy standing beside the revolutionary marshal.
, one hand pressed on the pistol holster at his waist.
When being ushered into the top-floor conference room by managers in suits and armed guards, Augustus's subordinates were asked to hand over their weapons for safekeeping, but the generals were allowed to carry their sidearms.
Augustus and many guides entered the interior of this giant spire called the Top of the Union through the lifting platform on the parking platform. I walked into the hall with the relief dome and was immediately impressed by the magnificent decoration and gorgeous interior.
The carvings and eye-catching decorations, gold and silver utensils and luxury goods from Umoyan decorate this extremely luxurious hall.
The entire hall is majestic and magnificent. The polished marble walls and square stone pillars hundreds of feet high are inlaid with rose-colored and azure blue gems excavated from the underground of Moria. Twelve huge statues of the ancestors of the Camorian people.
Statues. These huge statues stand tall on the ground, wearing armor and tasseled helmets. They stand holding a giant cross sword with both hands, and have pure white wings behind their backs.
On the dome of the hall is a huge scroll depicting mythological scenes from the Bible, including white angels and black demons. These are supposed to be the works of a certain art master, but his name is unknown.
This magnificent sight almost made Augustus think he was in a church, but he had never heard that the Camorians had a strong faith.
"It is said that after the four-year war, the economic collapse of the Kemorian Commonwealth is imminent. The people at the bottom are hungry. Moria's food supply has long relied on imports from several nearby colonial worlds. Workers have even died of starvation.
On the sand and gravel of Jacob's Canyon." As she walked through the hall, Kerrigan whispered: "But here..."
"Moria does not produce bread. There is only endless sand and inexhaustible ore. The reason for the food shortage is entirely that the Tyrannic Federation has occupied the few agricultural worlds we have." He has been following August.
The Kemorian diplomat in the capital said: "It may take us centuries to drain Moria's mineral deposits, but these cannot be exchanged for food."
"Those who starve to death because of this will be blamed on the Tyranids for their deaths. It was the Tyranids who stole the food," he explained.
"Then why don't you use your food reserves to help those who are about to starve to death?" Since joining the Revolutionary Army, Kerrigan, influenced by revolutionary ideas, has begun to look at the system of Camorion from an almost great standpoint.
"After the war, the government was unable to repay the national debt issued to start the war, and the reckless printing of money led to horrific inflation and soaring prices. While people lined up to buy the limited supply of bread, food factories were concentrated on a large scale.
Destroy meat and milk."
"Those are all rumors." The diplomat reminded him, pushing up the glasses on his nose.
"The people in the guild don't want you to discuss these non-existent things in Moria. The economy of the Federation will never collapse, even if the Tyranid Federation is destroyed."
As the diplomat said, Augustus led the people surrounding him through the hall and into the long corridor connected to the conference hall. It turned out that many people surrounded Augustus and led the way in front of him. There were many of them.
, as if to sweep away the dust on the road ahead for Augustus.
But gradually, Augustus walked in front of everyone, and others followed him unconsciously.
The door of the conference room is tall and thick, and more than a dozen different identity verification and warning facilities show how tightly guarded it is. Before entering, the entourage repeatedly confirmed Augustus through fingerprints and genetic testing.
Whether it is me.
When the heavy door opened, the luxurious layout inside did not surprise Augustus. Sitting around the long oval conference table were more than a dozen people from various guilds in Moria wearing black and blue suits.
CEO. These executives may be mere puppets or they may be one of the elite few who rule over four billion Moria.
The cities of Jacob and Moria are like cities made of bronze. There is no water source or any greenery here. However, there is a huge glass water tank on the wall of this conference hall, which is full of strange water plants and corals.
Ornamental fish that simply cannot exist in Moria. The scales of these strange ornamental fish have rainbow-like colors, shining beautifully under the pale yellow lights of the conference hall.
Exquisite handicrafts and rare treasures from alien worlds were placed on the conference table, and exquisite snacks and tea were placed within reach of the participants.
Not to mention the giant water tank that looks like an aquarium, these luxury items alone are worth millions of Camorian notes.
Augustus believed that the elites of these enterprises in the Camerion Guild were not much worse than the nobles of the Terran Federation.
Some of these CEOs in custom-made suits were looking at the documents in front of them, and some were looking at their watches impatiently. But no matter what, when Augustus appeared, these people all showed formulaic smiles.
.
"Augustus Mengsk, the people of the Tyranid Federation call you a dirty, knotted-fur drowned dog." The chief CEO of the Kelanis Transportation Guild stood up and shook hands with Augustus.
"But let me tell you, the Mengsk family wolf is a majestic wolf master after all."
"You have accomplished a feat that our Guild Guards could not accomplish. In Moria, I don't know how many people gnashed their teeth when they heard the name of the Alpha Squadron of the Tyranid Federation. If you know their commander Edmund Duke
If you look at his character, you will know that he is a complete butcher, a crazed genocide, and countless Camorians died at the hands of Duke."
"What a nightmare." Augustus stared into the brown eyes of this Camorian, thinking of the Camorians who died in his own hands.
"I have always believed that humans in the Koprulu Sector should not continue to suffer from internal friction like this endlessly. We should conclude a peace treaty and achieve mutual benefit through trade." Augustus held hands with the other party tightly.
"When it comes to trade, it's much more complicated. If you're not careful, it can turn into a terrible disaster." The CEO of the Kelanis Transportation Association showed a meaningful smile: "None of us want this to happen.
, but the Tyranid Federation’s bullying goes too far.”
"At least we are on the same side when it comes to hating the Terran Federation and wanting to destroy it," Augustus said.
"I deeply regret the destruction of Korhal IV." said the CEO of the Kelanis Transportation Association: "I went there when I was young and was an international student at Korhal University. Who could have imagined the beauty of that grassy field?
The world would become a dead, radioactive wasteland."
"The Federation Navy has also dropped nuclear bombs on our planet, but they were all small and medium-sized tactical nuclear bombs." The CEO's voice was full of regret and regret, and Augustus only hoped that half of it was true.
.
"Because they know that using nuclear weapons to destroy a core world with a large population will definitely lead to our retaliation at all costs. More often than not, you must have a sword in your hand, even if you don't swing it."
"Please sit down, Mr. Mengsk. I believe that you are as great as Angus Mengsk and a pioneer of the revolution." The CEO said when asking Augustus to sit down.
"I cannot be called great, not even one thousandth as good as my noble father." Augustus said: "To be more precise, I am much more realistic."
"I heard that you need help?" asked the CEO of the Kelanis Transportation Guild when he sat down with Augustus. He had known the purpose of Augustus coming to Moria, and he obviously knew it and wanted to
Take the initiative at the negotiating table.
"If you can sell your Ripper powered armor and tanks at market prices, then this can indeed be considered a help." Augustus knew what these shrewd businessmen were planning.
"What the revolutionary army is looking for is cooperation. What we want to achieve is a cooperation that satisfies both parties."
