Every year, the Tyran Empire invests a large amount of imperial credit coins in Korhal's environmental management. Every year, tens of millions of acres of land are regenerated with new life due to fast-growing forests and wild grasslands.
The ocean covered with radiation dust also became purer.
Since the nuclear explosion, the moody climate in Korhal has gradually stabilized, and Augustgrad at this time of the year is indispensable for several torrential rains that last for several weeks. The winds and rains are violent, and the weather is changing, but only the lights of Augustgrad remain the same.
Shining, countless neon lights are hazy and psychedelic in the glass curtain wall and rain curtain.
Even with the heavy rain, Augustgrad's prosperous industrial park, business district, and science and technology park show no signs of stopping.
Just like when the First Contact War came, people were completely unprepared for the arrival of a full-scale war. When the people of Augustgrad were still mourning the soldiers killed by Kolykov, the imperial palace issued a plan to
Numerous political orders quickly put the empire into a state of war, and conscription orders were issued on all planets.
People's lives have been completely changed, and it will take some time before they fully understand this.
From the stunning giant holographic screen to the streets of Augustgrad, there are notices of mobilization orders, conscription orders and export restrictions. More and more factories have announced that they will switch to the production of military supplies.
, drones deliver the latest paper newspapers and periodicals into the hands of those who are eager to know the truth.
In various public places, the topics people talk about have naturally changed from politics and entertainment to new wars, and the number of people voluntarily donating to the imperial army is also increasing.
Prince Arcturus Mengsk's recent remarks at the recruitment center aroused even more heated discussions. He publicly stated: The swarm is the enemy of all civilization. In the face of the survival of the human empire, there are no civilians left to fight in this war.
Word.
The war has just begun, and it is not yet time to mobilize everyone. There must be people in the factories and people in the rear to produce. But if the enemy is a swarm of insects, then we have to consider the worst possibility.
The prince, who is known for his iron-bloodedness and ruthlessness, triggered verbal criticism from some people, departments and the media, but these voices disappeared immediately after he personally led the fleet to the expedition.
If someone complains about the policies of the emperor and the government, he may not necessarily get a response from the people around him, but if he says that one of his sons is about to join the army as one of the first conscripted soldiers, he will definitely get respect.
If the emperor of the Tyran Empire launches an unjust war that has no meaning, then only those who are truly loyal to the emperor will support him. But this war is to keep the enemy outside the country and to defend the country.
The home of Terran humans.
Everyone knows who their enemy is, the zerg.
The zerg have never penetrated deep into the core world of Korhal, but this does not prevent the people who live there from talking about it.
There is a market for forged claims about the existence of aliens just like other anti-intellectual rumors, but there are indeed Zerg on display in Augustgrad, and there is enough evidence to show that there are ferocious monsters like Char.
There is so much sand in the desert.
In recent years, alien physiology has become a popular subject, and it is impossible to miss this course in universities in the Tyranid Empire. Novels related to marines and alien creatures have become very popular, and are on the walls of almost every boy's room.
There are movie posters showing Imperial Marines holding gauss rifles and Hydralisks sharing the stage.
The Empire spared no effort in education and propaganda to reveal the mystery of the two races, the Zerg and the Protoss, because people must understand who their enemies are, and must understand that to deal with such enemies, they must use strong ships and guns to win, instead of being superstitious.
On this day, a thoroughfare from west to east leads directly to the Imperial Square, and the marble pavement is filled with people holding umbrellas. They come from all over Augustgrad, including citizen workers and professional elites in suits and ties.
People here will never forget what they saw today, the day Emperor Augustus Mengsk launched his general mobilization for war.
There are many huge monuments and statues standing on the Imperial Square. The polished limestone columns support the wavy glass dome, and the shining white lights are solemn and solemn. The square is actually built on an unbulldozed hill, which is the most beautiful place on the earth.
A replica of the Augustus Altar. Emperor Augustus and Queen Sarah are climbing up the stairs hand in hand, followed by guards holding umbrellas for them.
The square is surrounded by tall steel buildings on all sides, and the rain washes away the silent bronze glass curtain walls.
Behind the high platform, two huge Odin MKII mechas were standing calmly. Each Odin cost millions of credit coins. They were decorated with golden five-stars, and the number of golden five-stars was
Represents military rank.
On both sides of Odin are four slightly smaller mechas, which are called Thor - Black Warhammer. Thor is cheaper and smaller than Odin, and is designed for greater demand, and even the mass-produced version
There is no mecha that can compare with it.
Hundreds of thousands of eyes were watching them. The emperor's prestige was unparalleled among the people of the empire, and his supporters still loved him as much as in the past. Emperor Augustus Mengsk only rewarded them with a determined expression. Since Kore
He has stood before his people since the fall of Cobh.
Queen Sarah wore a simple black dress, but she was still beautiful even so. The guards were also dressed in black, which was in mourning for the imperial soldiers who died on the front line.
When the emperor read out the general mobilization order, everyone held their breath.
As they expected, the emperor's words were still so strong, unquestionable, and full of affection. The Tyranid Empire would never succumb to any enemy, and they would definitely repel the swarm's attack, just like they did in the past.
Just like in the past, even if they are weak, ignorant, and disunited on a more microscopic level, humans are still the strongest race in the universe.
While Emperor Augustus was reading, a huge fleet composed of sixty-five Imperial Minotaur-class battlecruisers was crossing the sky above the lights. These awe-inspiring battleships were like moving steel cities.
The towering ship island and vertical sides are as high as a cliff, and countless portholes, navigation lights and electronic equipment emit dazzling light.
The three ships at the front belong to the independent class of Augustgrad's Pride, which are significantly larger than other Minotaur-class battlecruisers. Not only are they larger in size, Augustgrad's Pride
The armor and portholes of the class are also decorated with bronze and gilded golden wolves, which are luxuriously decorated and shine like the Augustgrad Palace.
The pride of Augustgrad is a powerful capital ship, equipped with a plasma cannon and multiple sub-jump engines that can be activated at the same time. Both firepower and armor belong to the flagship class. Battlecruisers of this class belong to
The crew of the Royal Guard are strictly selected Imperial warriors.
Whenever a Pride of Augustgrad arrives on the battlefield, the morale of the Imperial soldiers will be greatly improved.
At the same time, more than a thousand fleets of fighters, bombers and transport aircraft flew over the Imperial Square in the center of Augustgrad in batches. Some new models were even shown to the public for the first time.
appear in front of.
The most eye-catching one is the Archangel, a huge aircraft that thunders like thunder as it flies across the square.
This is not a simple military parade. All the warships fly over the square just to receive the last gaze of the emperor and the people of the empire, and then they will immediately rush to the battlefield.
After four years of hard work, thanks to breakthroughs in modular segmented warship construction technology, the Tyranid Empire's fleet has continued to increase in size. Not counting the Minotaur-class warships that are still under construction and unannounced.
The number of cruisers in the series reached 480, enough to form naval squadrons from Alpha to Omega.
During wartime, the empire's numerous orbital shipyards can also speed up production.
This is also why the Kemorian Alliance and Umoyan dare not have a head-on conflict with the Tyranids. They are simply impossible to rival.
On this day, at many railway stations and ports in Augustgrad, the first group of young people who were about to go to Turasis II Recruit Training Camp were ready to go.
Turasis II was once the focus of contention between the old Terran Federation and the Kaimorian Federation during the Guild Wars, and there are still many Imperial recruit training camps there.
In this land that once trained Emperor Augustus Mengsk into a true warrior, countless others will follow.
Five million people were drafted into the army on the first day, and this was just the number in the city of Augustgrad. There were more people in the sparsely populated edge worlds who volunteered to join the army than in the core world.
Not only Korhal, Emperor Augustus responded to the call of many people on the land of the Terran Empire. Among them, the fastest responders were the Mar Sara and the Tarsonis. The former was for revenge, and the latter was to wash away the shame.
Most of the soldiers who joined the army in 2499 were born between 2478 and 2480. They experienced four years of guild wars as children when they could barely remember. After that, the first contact war and the first all-out war followed one after another.
For these young people who grew up during the reign of the Tyranids, the Empire represented unity and peace. The establishment of the Empire stopped artillery fire from falling on their crumbling houses, gave their unemployed parents jobs, and allowed them to
After being displaced, they returned to campus again.
This time they did not join the army for the old Federation's hegemony in the Koprulu sector, but to defend the hard-won peace.
The Guild War originally originated from the greed of federal capitalists and nobles, because they did not want to purchase the ownership of the mining areas discovered by the Camorians through money or interest exchange. In comparison, plundering and enjoying the profits was more attractive.
A war is enough to change the balance of power between the Kaimorian Empire and the Tyranid Federation, and then re-divide the colonies in the world.
So the war began, and the rich sent the children of the poor to the war, but the war also provided income for their factories.
Emperor Augustus convinced the people of the empire that such an era was gone forever during his reign.
Anyone with a clear mind understands that they are fighting for their homeland. The swarm wants to destroy everyone. They are not the protoss. The protoss at least can talk some sense to you.
The arrival of the mobilization order urged couples to get married before the men went to war, so the church in Augustgrad was not enough. Young men and women held weddings at train stations and star ports, and set off after the wedding.
Scenes like this can be seen in many train stations in Augustgrad: when the train starts, the men in the windows are still waving. Unable to count, the unclear white skirts move with the slowly accelerating train, like
It's the fluttering clouds. Flowers are scattered all over the ground, their petals flying.
In the military camp, young men and women in black military uniforms were still swearing an oath to the emperor and the empire, while more and more people were working to ensure the logistics of the war. A large amount of arms and supplies were put on the train and delivered by train.
Star port, and then sent to the front line by interstellar cargo ship.
Secretary of State Mike Liberty compared the Tyranid Empire to a super machine. The parts of it prepared for war have not been started for a long time, but as long as the emperor needs it, after being rusted, polished and painted, the gears can turn again.
, the steel tracks can roll forward.
The Terran Empire has never launched a war, but it has never stopped preparing for war.
"The navy is the decisive force that determines the direction of the war, but the real battlefield is on the planet." On the way back to the palace from the Imperial Plaza, Augustus was still talking to Marshal Jim Raynor:
"Jimmy, the Zerg don't care if a planet becomes barren, but we can't destroy our colonies unless we have to. So we need both more fleets and more marines."
"Fortunately, we are all born as landlubbers, except Duke." Reno said.
As we all know, the difference between the navy and the army is as big as species.
But in fact, the boundary between the two services is not that rigid. If you want to become a true imperial marshal, you must have the ability to command both ground armies and fleets. You can't be partial at all.
Horace Warfield, Jim Raynor and Edmund Duke all had this ability.
"Honestly, it's really unpleasant to send those children to the battlefield with your own hands. Forget about us old bones, but the best time in the children's lives has just begun." Augustus sighed.
"You're only twenty-nine, why are you talking like you're forty-nine?" Renault said, "I think you should see a psychiatrist. You're still so sentimental after so many years, but you're more ruthless than anyone else on the battlefield.
"
"Why are you talking to your emperor?" Augustus glared at him.
"Shit emperor, do you think I've never seen your naked butt?" Renault said.
So both of them chuckled, and after a while, Renault said:
"I said, you have been preparing for four years. After four years, your family is already strong enough. You can leave the rest to Duke and others."
"Come on, I still hope to win more battles." Augustus clicked his tongue.
