This dilapidated rail platform was built in the early colonial era of Char and is composed of multiple small platforms that remain relatively stationary. Each small platform is a fully functional multi-functional residential station with staggered high and low floors.
Prefabricated and metal-framed buildings are spaced like bushes of varying heights among trees.
Between the dark orange and gray steel buildings mixed with the minimalist style of the early colonial era are cable viaducts spanning multiple platforms, circular train tracks and maglev vehicle acceleration tracks, dense fusion reaction towers, cooling towers, and star port central information processing
Towers and signal towers form a forbidding, dark forest of steel.
Any visitor who comes to the Char-1 orbital platform will be lost in the intertwined roads, dark alleys and countless turbine ventilation ducts after plunging headlong into this airtight steel forest with cold metallic colors.
In hot air and steam.
Here, the ground is three-dimensional rather than a plane. A huge steel building is always connected to another with alloy steel bridges, cables as thick as snakes and staggered elevator-driven straight ladders. An unparalleled building frame is always connected.
It covers another one.
The huge buildings in the residential area are huge walls, covered with thousands of identical indigo glass, like dark mirrors, reflecting the orange-red firelight of Char and the flowing light of the wires on the tower.
There is no building on the Char-1 orbital platform that can be associated with the words exquisite and gorgeous. The high-rise buildings made of steel are only designed for workers working in Char, and they look more like they are made of plain limestone.
and reinforced concrete barriers.
The federal construction company that built the platform built a track platform with reliable quality in full compliance with the requirements of the contract. The well-planned industrial and construction areas have complete ventilation facilities, sewage treatment facilities and even entertainment facilities. However, it is inevitable that comfort design
Simplify and simplify again.
Each building can accommodate hundreds of families and thousands of people. It has shops, bars, self-service laundry and drying rooms, and private clinics. It is a small city.
For an orbital platform where space resources are extremely precious, every inch of land must be properly used. This has always been the case.
"It's time to ride a pony, boys." Jim Raynor stood on the starport launch port platform of the Charchu orbital platform and shouted to his 4th Battalion, 16th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Revolutionary Army.
Soldiers board rows of rumbling Apod-33 troop carriers.
Soldiers wearing blue power armor and silver wing badges lined up onto the ramp of the transport ship. Each person's shoulder armor was spray-painted with a coiled gray rattlesnake skull, and next to them were T-280 spacecrafts.
Engineering vehicles are pushing racks carrying vulture trucks into the lower cargo hold of the transport ship.
These soldiers all belong to the "Reno Rangers", a unit named entirely after Jim Reno. This is undoubtedly proof that the Revolutionary Army Marshal Augustus Mengsk values him, and it is also a demonstration of Reno's own reputation and ability.
I am afraid that only Reno could gain such appreciation and attention from Augustus, and he himself had silenced those who hated him through his brilliant achievements.
Renault is an extremely outstanding battlefield commander. He is not the kind of general who is accustomed to using meticulous military deployment to win, but he is undoubtedly a genius in military strategy. His strategic vision that ordinary people cannot match can always catch the enemy inadvertently.
Live in the weak spots and fatal underbelly of the battle line.
The great Marshal Augustus often said this to his generals: There are thousands of roads that lead to defeat, but only one that leads to victory. If there is a key to the Arc de Triomphe, it is Jim Raynor.
I have met many federal generals who have great reputations, but none of them can compare to Reno.
"This is not a racing game, kid. I have been to many planets, and only Char has caused us the greatest losses." An officer wearing a gray-blue flat-top military cap and a chief of staff uniform walked up to Renault.
Before setting off, Augustus personally appointed Major General Charles Horner, Arcturus's old subordinate, as chief of staff of the expeditionary force to help Reno command such a large army.
You must know that the Charles Expeditionary Army had 120,000 troops, not counting the logistics personnel. Even if Augustus was confident enough in Reno's ability and character, he would still have to send trustworthy people to assist him.
Long before joining the Revolutionary Army, Charles, who served in the Federal 33rd Ground Assault Division, was promoted to captain based on his military exploits. After joining the Revolutionary Army, he was quickly promoted to colonel.
After single-handedly leading a force composed of the 22nd Armored Division of the Revolutionary Army, the 3rd Revolutionary Army Engineering Regiment, two rail heavy artillery brigades and a bomb disposal company to capture the Pridewater planet, Charles was immediately captured by Aug.
Stuart was promoted to major general and was personally decorated and awarded the Order of the Imperial Shield, the Order of the White Oak and the Order of the Silver Tower of Korhal.
Charles Horner is the kind of general who was promoted from the front line. He did not even attend a military school. He attended the two-semester training camp at the Revolutionary Army's rest flagship as the first batch of officers to go to the Umoyan Military Academy.
Systematic military learning.
"Char is a hell on earth, but we will never be afraid of it." Renault also wore a dark gray power armor: "War is a red hell, and we are dancing on the devil's knife and fork."
"I didn't expect you were also a poet." The relationship between Major General Charles and Renault is actually quite good, and the generals in the Revolutionary Army like to be friends with such upright and reliable people. Renault gets along very well with many Revolutionary Army generals, except
Edmund Duke.
These words are usually said by Tychus Finley to Raynor. Usually when they are on the battlefield or hanging out in bars, Tychus will praise Raynor a few times when he is in a good mood, and Raynor will say hell no more.
I have never met a better man than Tychus.
"This is what that Augustus guy said." Renault said and shouted to the Revolutionary Army soldiers on the launch port platform: "Move faster, the insects will not wait for us to be fully dressed before attacking us.
These are not noble gentlemen with Tarsonian accents. If you don't put on your armor, the bugs will eat your asses."
"Ha ha--"
"Quick, quick, quick, why have you been fighting for five years and you are still as slow as an old lady? I don't remember that I have trained such soldiers." Charles shouted, and there was a sound of steel boots tapping on the platform.
Get together immediately.
"The marshal really said such a thing?" he asked Renault in a low voice after speaking.
"I heard what Tychus said." Raynor didn't think about who Tychus heard what he said.
Some of the transport ships at the launch port have retracted their thrusters and started to take off. Spaceships continue to quickly disappear into the dark deep sky. They all belong to the motorized troops and are directly under Renault.
The 16th and 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigades are both directly affiliated units of the Revolutionary Army's Char Expeditionary Force Command. Generally speaking, the units directly affiliated with them are often elite or guard units.
And yes, our commander of the Charles Expedition, "Mr. Ray," loves these manic vulture carts. He bluntly said that the vulture cart is the cowboy's horse, and they are as important as the cowboy hat and hobnail boots.
Rory Swann, the chief engineer of the Revolutionary Army, often held a completely different view on this. He regretfully called the vulture riders sitting on explosive barrels to pick up scraps.
The Char Expeditionary Force is also one of the few legions that has set up large-scale motorized troops, because on the ash plains covered with volcanoes in Char, the vulture vehicles that can achieve high-speed maneuvers are priceless treasures. They are as important as the armored units that can advance quickly.
.
If a vulture rider has enough experience and superb skills, he can even flexibly drive his vehicle to jump like a gerbil among the rolling Gobi hills.
Even with transport ships constantly taking off, there are still large numbers of Revolutionary Army soldiers gathered on the launch port platform. Even with the cover of the Protoss fleet, just transporting tens of thousands of soldiers to the surface of Char is not an easy task.
matter.
Currently, the Revolutionary Army's Char Expeditionary Force and Tassadar's fleet have established a firm foothold in Char's high-altitude orbit. During this period, they also made great sacrifices to retake the orbital platform that had been completely infected by the zerg.
"Is there any news about Antiga? Where is the Marshal's headquarters?" Renault looked at the densely packed orbital platform buildings in the distance. As long as he saw them, he would immediately recall the sacrifices he had to make to capture this platform.
Looking around, there are still obvious black burn marks on the surface of the steel buildings that have not been reused. Desolation and desolation linger on the rusty, exposed steel frames. Each giant building is as high as a mountain, facing Reno
The other side is a smooth and straight cross-section of the cliff, and the holes of thousands of windows are silently telling the tragic past and tragic wars that happened here.
Since the Guild War made Char's surface environment more and more dangerous, almost the entire population moved to this orbital platform. After the zerg invaded Char, not one of the hundreds of thousands of people on this orbital platform was spared.
No one knows what the people on the Char-1 orbital platform have experienced, but their despair and misery at that time must be rare in the world.
When Renault and his people first arrived here, the orbital platform had completely turned into a structure made of ugly organic tissue, hard exoskeleton carapace, creeping dark veins and huge organs exposed to the vacuum, mixed with steel.
A freak, like a monster pregnant with evil life.
There are piles of eggs in the sewers beneath Char-1's orbital platform because it is warm and moist for the zerg.
The reactor chamber and ventilation ducts are filled with eggs wrapped in milky white gelatinous shells and vesicles, like squirming swarms of white worms or fly eggs. They are full of infected humans, replacing bridges and steel structures.
Each small orbital platform has also turned into a huge curly tentacle.
With the assistance of the Protoss Templars, Raynor's troops burned the No. 1 orbital platform clean, and then he personally led Raynor's Rangers, Raynor's Sidewinders (heavy tank troops), and Battlefield Porcupines (power armor upgraded
After two days of fighting, the entire orbital platform was completely cleared.
.
Now, most of the Char-I platform has become a ghost town, and it is said that twisted monsters still exist there.
After that, the Protoss Expeditionary Force phase technicians led by Tassadar laid a matrix network and set up a shield force field on the orbital platform, and Raynor further took control of the place.
"Although Antiga is lacking everything now, in general it is because the influx of people is too much. The economy of Antiga's main planet is only one-tenth of what it was in Korhal 4 in the past, but the population is four
Times." Charles replied.
"But Antiga is developing very fast. Huge reserves of high-energy gas springs have been discovered near Ansadar and the Medes Mountains. In addition, the Umoyan people are still transporting relief supplies there on a large scale. I believe that
Antiga will soon become the center of the Revolutionary Army world."
"As for the Marshal Command - Marshal Augustus orders you to pay close attention to Char's movements. If an Earthling appears here, you must report it to him immediately. Use the fastest encrypted communication channel. If there is any delay, military law will be dealt with."
"Earthlings, how could there be Earthlings in Char? It's as ridiculous as Tychus dancing ballet in a bachelor's uniform." Raynor continued:
"But since it is what he said, then I will definitely do it. The military order is like a mountain."
"Inform the troops that the landing operation plan remains unchanged and will be launched at 10:10 am standard time. This time, we must establish a mining area in the Bone Trench and build enough gas plants." Then, Renault ordered on the command channel
.
"There is not much time to waste. Marshal Augustus Mengsk has high hopes for us. I don't want that to become a thing of the past."
The nearest Revolutionary Army planet Elos is hundreds of light years away from Char, and the problems caused by long supply lines have been exposed. Although no pirates dare to attack the Revolutionary Army's supply fleet yet, as long as these desperadoes
If you catch the first crab eater, you will inevitably have troubles.
There are many vehicles and spaceships in the Char Expeditionary Force, and fuel is in short supply. Even though the Vulture can even be driven with alcohol, it cannot sustain the large number.
There are very few planets in the Char system that contain resources. Even the protoss must collect crystal minerals and high-energy gas from the surface of Char in order to jump to more portals for troops and warships from the mainland of Sagulath.
However, after several landing campaigns, only a few landing areas with little strategic significance were opened up on the planet's surface, and the progress was difficult to satisfy Raynor and Tassadar.
It turned out that they all thought that the insect swarm had been severely damaged after the death of the master, but in fact this was not the case.
The Char swarm is still strong.
Just after the Overlord led the Tiamat swarm and the Jormungandr swarm, the two largest insect nests under his command, to land in Aiur, another cerebral worm, Sass, that had been ignored by people before, had been being cultivated in Char.
Its terrifying swarm of gamu.
In the original timeline, the Cerebrate Sass was the first Cerebrate killed by the Dark Master Zeratul. But in this timeline, because it had already been killed once by Augustus, Sass was the first
It experienced the pain of death for the first time, so after sensing that Zeratul had infiltrated Char, it chose to retreat and let its brothers stand out.
This saved Sasse's life.
Sass, the Cerebrate, has made the enemies of its tribe deeply fearful with its cautious character and ruthless methods, and it may also be the smartest one among the Cerebrates. Sass's character flaws have caused it to fail repeatedly.
The main reason is that the reason why Cerebrates are highly intelligent zerg individuals and the masterminds who command the swarm is because they can learn and think.
will grow.
At the same time, out of caution, Sath frantically expanded its swarm on Char in the time after the Overlord's death.
It was Thass who maintained the situation before Dagoth's return, and suppressed and expelled Tosh, the Prince of Blades, who was about to make a move.
In addition, because Augustus's revolutionary army and Tassadar guarded the Xel'Naga portal leading to Sagurath, the cerebrates and their tribes that were supposed to rush to Sagurath also returned to Char.
.
After Dagos, the Cerebrate of the Tiamat Swarm, and Yark, the Cerebrate of the Jormungandr Swarm, returned to Char, the Char Swarm was still united again, and they repelled the attacks of Tassadar and Raynor's coalition forces.
Attacked many times and guarded the newly born master with utmost loyalty.

Thanks for the 15,000-point reward from the guy who didn’t say everything was fine.
Thank you brothers for your recommendation votes and monthly votes!
The book I recommend is a new book by the author of The Commander's Infinite Job Journey, an unscientific Bourne Supremacy. The fantasy channel is really too cool, second only to suspense.
