"Mercenaries of Moria?" Bernard Hansen and Augustus were sitting on the sofas on both sides of the glass coffee table. Several Agria warriors and Augustus' followers stood on each side.
Behind the two of them.
The Agria warriors behind Bernard are all reliable middle-aged men or young men in this immigration town, or they are farmers in large rural areas or interns at the Agria Science Institute.
When they gathered around the elegant and easy-going Bernard, they were like students or parents standing next to the teacher.
Tychus, Raynor and Kerrigan beside Augustus are undoubtedly veterans of the war. They wear blue-green and khaki military uniforms similar to the uniforms of the Camorion guild guards or the uniforms of the Federation Marines.
, neatly dressed, with straight trouser legs, looking like a seasoned soldier.
When they stood upright next to Augustus, they really looked like soldiers and generals. Of course, the planets of Tychus and Harnak inevitably lowered Augustus's image and made him look like a general.
Like a mafia leader rather than an ordinary businessman.
"You come from Moria, you should know that Moria is too far away from Agria." Bernard stared into Augustus's rare cold gray eyes: "We need a permanent mercenary army.
Then it would be best to seek help from the nearest federal colony."
"Normally, the Tyranid Federation in Tarsonis should send a force of marines to defend the fringe colonies, but they have obviously forgotten about Agria."
"No - they are not Moria." Augustus said, shaking his head.
Augustus paused here, and at the same time, the red-haired ghost agent Kerrigan beside him leaned down, his red lips came close to Augustus' right ear and whispered something.
After Kerrigan finished speaking, Augustus looked at Bernard.
"They're from Korhal."
"Korhal..." Even though Agria is a marginal immigration place with little information, Bernard is not completely ignorant of the Korhal Rebellion that happened more than a year ago.
In fact, the federal government of Tarsonis is happy to announce to the world the fate of Korhal IV - the result of pursuing freedom and independence is to be bombarded into a dead nuclear wasteland.
There is no doubt that the great rebellion led by Angus Mengsk shocked most of the Federation world and had an indelible and far-reaching impact. Many colonies that were originally dissatisfied with Federation rule were really frightened, and only those who were the most
The bravest and most defiant of planets are still speaking out against the tyranny of the Tarsonis Federation Council.
The people of the colonial planets closer to the core world are as docile as sheep. The Marines stationed there ruthlessly maintain the rule of the federal government there. The people there are deeply influenced by the federal mainstream media and are afraid of being associated with the rebel party.
In any relationship, hearing the word Keha will make you feel scared.
But fortunately, Agria is currently not within the coverage of the UNN Universe News Network's broadcast channel. The locals are also not interested in the "real-time news" from more than two or three months ago. The most important thing is that Agria
Bernard Hansen, leader of the settlement in Grea, was actually a Korhal sympathizer.
Bernard Hansen gave up the good life in Tarsonis and the fame he had accumulated for many years and came to Agria. This was another kind of resistance to the Tarsonis government. He had never thought about nor dared to lead Agria.
The Gerians resisted the rule of the Terran Federation, but they still admired the Korhal from the bottom of their hearts for daring to resist.
This is also the key information that Kerrigan obtained through mind reading and told Augustus just now. As the leader of the Agria immigrants, Bernard actually has a good impression of the Korhal people.
Augustus thought carefully about it before leaving, and had a detailed understanding of Bernard Hansen's character and imagined his attitude. Now, Augustus was glad that Bernard was not a supporter of the Federation, and the situation was not heading towards
Evolution in the worst direction.
"Are there any survivors on Korhal?" Bernard looked at Augustus, and he realized that the identity of the man in front of him could not be as simple as the owner of the Camorion caravan.
"The UNN report mentioned the terrible disaster - this is ridiculous. The nuclear bomb destroyed Korhal IV, but the UNN people said that only a few hundred people were injured in Korhal in this 'accident'. Condolences to Korhal
Extinct Species goes far beyond coverage of Korhal's losses and casualties."
"Yes, and there are quite a few." Augustus was not surprised by the way the Terran Federation promoted public opinion. The media controlled by the Federation Parliament and the Creation Family had sufficient means and time to distort reports related to facts. The Federation's
Media people usually dismantle real materials into different fragments, delete and sequence them, and then add new fabricated parts to piece it together what they want.
According to regulations, all media reports in the Terran Federation cannot violate the constitution, and this does not conflict with the right of free speech of federal citizens.
"That's great. No matter what the rebels did wrong or what outrageous crimes they committed, at least the people of Korhal will not suffer the atrocities of genocide." Bernard showed a sincere smile.
People in other colonies knew very little about what happened in Korhal, and people without independent opinions could easily be swayed by media reports - at least in the Federation, the reputation of the Augustus Revolutionary Army was very bad, almost equivalent to eating.
The devil of man and the dregs of society.
Bernard's understanding of the Korhal rebels was more or less deviated from the facts, because UNN cleverly avoided Tarsonis's exploitation and unrestricted demands for a series of wealthy colonies such as Korhal IV, focusing on
Depicts the Mengsk family of Korhal IV as a corrupt plutocracy family that controls Korhal.
UNN repeatedly emphasized that Angus Mengsk only wanted to establish a ruling dynasty belonging to the Mengsk family in Korhal, and the uprising was described as the machinations of careerists and the rise of rebel warlords.
"The Korhals escaped from Korhal IV before the Day of Destruction. They suffered many hardships and have been wandering around the universe, looking for their new home." Augustus said: "Later, some of the Korhals armed themselves to protect themselves.
The people formed Korhal's mercenary army and made a living as mercenaries while wandering around the universe."
"If they are willing to stay, then Agria will help them build their own home," Bernard said.
"I'm willing to help them."
"Aren't you afraid that the Korhals will start a new rebellion in Agria?" Augustus tested Bernard's attitude.
"Why did they do that?" Bernard shook his head: "There is no Terran Federation here, and there is no injustice."
"I knew it." Augustus said with a smile.
"Dr. Hansen, you are a good man."
Neither Augustus nor Bernard noticed that Ariel Hansen next to them seemed to be interested in Augustus, but Kerrigan, who had strong telepathy, immediately noticed this and felt it.
The other party's ignorant fantasies about Augustus, those jade-green eyes have been focused on the other party.
Although Augustus did not perform any heroic feats to save the beauty, he was handsome enough.
"Haha - approximately how many of them are there?" Dr. Hansen is indeed an upright and kind-hearted person, but he does not yet realize the seriousness of the problem at the moment.
"It doesn't matter even if there are one or two thousand people. The most important thing in Aglia is land. We have a professional construction team." He said confidently.
"Quite a few," Augustus said: "The wandering Korhals bring their families with them and use the colonial mothership as a place to live."
He produced a series of numbers.
"The exact number is approximately 2,126,722 people."
"You must be kidding." Dr. Bernard Hansen took a deep breath, in disbelief.
If this is true, then this must be a very large group of wandering mercenaries, most of whom can only enter the freezing chamber, otherwise the spacecraft of the wandering fleet cannot support so many people.
For a moment, Bernard thought he had guessed the truth. That was that this so-called mercenary group was actually a group of escapees who had narrowly escaped misfortune. The reason why Augustus said they were mercenaries was probably because he was worried that he would not accept them.
These Korhals are worried that they will become a burden.
In fact, Agria, which is in the stage of pioneering and development, is in urgent need of a large number of immigrants, and such large-scale immigration is exactly what Bernard wants.
The only problem is that if this group of Korhals settle down in Agria, their number will be much higher than the original population of the planet.
Even the people of Agria behind Bernard were shocked. They never expected that there would be so many people who were about to move in. Bernard's daughter Ariel, who had been listening beside him, was also shocked.
Walking to his father's side, everyone knew that this would be a major event that could change Agria's future destiny.
"..." Bernard was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally nodded.
"In order to attract new settlers, I promise that whether they are Tyranids, Kaimorians or Umoyans, as long as they are willing to build a new home with us, Agria welcomes them." He took a deep breath.
.
"Let me meet the representatives of those people. It is not easy to arrange housing for so many people." Bernard said.
"I will also discuss with other immigrant family representatives. Moreover, it is best for the Korhal people not to mention their past. When the federal government thinks of Agria, the federal parliament will probably send officials to form a government."
"I will contact them," Augustus said.
"These people from Korhal come from all walks of life in Korhal." Augustus continued: "Among them are scientists, engineers, doctors, construction workers, architectural designers, artists... These people will
It will bring new opportunities to the development of Aglia."
"You don't need to worry about the follow-up problems after they land in Agria. They bring their own tents and food, and have their own engineering team and planting technology."
"Well -" Bernard pondered, then suddenly stood up and said to Augustus: "I will arrange it as soon as possible, if everything goes well..."
As he spoke, Bernard picked up his personal terminal, said sorry, and then made a call to inform the most respected group of immigrants in the settlement, family leaders, and town leaders to hold a meeting.
As the first leader to set foot in Agria and lead people to establish a settlement, Bernard has always been unequivocal on this matter, but he has no choice but to discuss such a big matter with other immigrants, otherwise
The immigration of the Korkha people will turn into a very serious ethnic conflict.
The most frightening thing is that if not handled properly, the immigration problem of the Korhal people is likely to turn into a refugee crisis, dragging down Agria's economy, and thus affecting the order of the planet and the status of the inherent ruling class.
"You really gave me a great gift." Bernard sat down in his seat again after dialing one number after another, an ugly smile appeared on his face.
"Okay - I hope to see the armed strength of this mercenary army so that I can calculate how much salary should be paid to them." Now Bernard has no hope for the strength of this so-called mercenary army.
Even though these hard-suffering exiles of Korhal were hardy warriors, their equipment was no better than that of the Agria.
"Very good, I'll notify them right away." Augustus said a few words to Renault next to him, who immediately left the living room of Hansen's house. When Renault turned around and left, everyone who was looking at him looked at him.
You can notice the revolver strapped to his waist.
This was a gift from Augustus to Renault, and Renault also regarded it as a treasure and showed great fondness for this pistol. Compared with the exquisite cold weapons Augustus gave to other officers, this exquisitely crafted revolver
It is so powerful that it can even penetrate the mask of CMC power armor.
This is a legendary weapon, and Renault has used it to end the lives of many villains and corrupt officials.
Augustus then talked with Bernard for a while, until Renault returned to the living room and told him that a repainted revolutionary army camp had landed in Agria waiting for his review.
Augustus immediately invited Bernard and his men to the landing point of the army, and Bernard went gladly.
As Augustus walked out of the Hansons' house, Kerrigan said next to him: "Did you notice?"
"What?" Seeing Kerrigan's serious look, Augustus immediately asked, "Is there a federal spy here?"
"No, that Ariel Hansen, Bernard's daughter, has been looking at you... She seems to be in love with your type of man, a mature, steady, leadership and reliable man.
Charm."
"When she grows up, she will find this longing for mature men ridiculous... and will be ashamed to recall this memory." Augustus said with a questioning tone: "Of course, this
Not the point, I thought you had been telepathically detecting Bernard Hansen's attitude instead of focusing on a little girl."
