Augustus’ unreliable father Angus may have been an outstanding politician and demagogue, but he knew nothing about military affairs. He stubbornly believed that Korhal’s tens of millions of people and less than 25 mobilization troops
It can compete with the powerful Tyranid Federal Government, and Umoyan's weapon support is simply not enough for Korhal's army to even out the disadvantage.
The Tyranid Federation has a fleet and resocialized soldiers, but Korhal IV lacks the most basic power armor.
One year from now, Korhal IV will become a brutal battlefield.
Naturally, the more he thought about it, the more Augustus understood that he and the Mengsk family were as fragile as candles in the wind.
Now, Augustus has gradually assumed the role of leader of the rebel army and began to think about how he should deal with the severe situation and complex and ever-changing political environment in the future.
Reality forced Augustus to make early plans for the future. He had to take a long-term view and plan his plans until more than ten years later. If Augustus had to engage in a new war, then he must
Gain final victory and overthrow the federal government.
Regardless of hatred, belief, or ideals of liberating the people of Korhal and Tyran, Augustus was simply forced.
Augustus had to deal with any people or forces that might help him in advance, and he knew that Umoyan's support was far from enough.
At present, Augustus has only come into contact with this type of person, Hill, the future mercenary leader, and this person is worth using. Tychus is barely considered half, and he holds a black market trading network of unknown value in his hands.
In the near future, Augustus will inevitably resell the captured federal military supplies. The Kemerian Consortium and Umoyan will be big customers, but Augustus cannot completely count on them.
After walking around the town for several times, Augustus finally led the buyers to an abandoned and unattended underground garage. Renault, Amy Brandon and others were guarding the two with electromagnetic guns.
A truck loaded with weapons.
The man with a big belly trotted over and lifted up the canvas on the truck. When he saw the neat and tidy equipment, his face suddenly showed an expression of surprise. He turned around and said to his subordinates: "Quick, come here to count the weapons and check whether they can be used."
Then, he caressed a piece of power armor lovingly, as if caressing his lover.
Although the power armors are all old models of CMC-200, and the armors are mostly worn, they can still be sold at high prices. As for the two Goliath armed robots that have been retired but are still well maintained, they are priceless treasures.
People are willing to buy these powerful walking mechas, but Augustus still wants to keep them for his own people.
Because both the Tyranid Federation and the Kaimorian Federation give the recovery of power armor after the war as their first priority, even higher than rescuing the wounded and burying corpses. In order to prevent the leakage of technology, some high-tech weapons unique to the Federation have been
——For example, the airdrop capsule in the research and development trial stage is even equipped with an automatic decomposition power supply, which will automatically disintegrate and decompose one minute after landing.
This has resulted in very little standard equipment living abroad, and it will be more than ten years before retired Marines who can be hired by entire companies will appear.
At a time when class conflicts in the Terran Federation are easily intensifying, demonstrations in the city have gradually evolved into riots involving beating, smashing, looting, and burning. The revolutionary army that seems to be everywhere and can never be wiped out is inciting workers to revolt in the fringe sectors.
Destroy the army's transportation and supply lines.
By this year, this sometimes even forced local governments to mobilize marines and expand police establishments. And those wealthy tycoons, entrepreneurs, bankers and major shareholders of listed companies are in urgent need of a group of powerful private armed forces.
Respond to assassinations by the revolutionary army by stopping those thugs who dare to rob their property.
Therefore, weapons reselling is not only profitable, but can often lead to huge profits. Of course, the premise is that Augustus has the channels and background.
"That's great." He said, "Mr. Nicholas, you really didn't lie to us."
"The servo engine, fusion core, and armor frame are all intact, and the built-in computer has been reprogrammed and uses a third-party system." Augustus said.
"I'm very satisfied." The man with a big belly turned around and glanced at the soldiers with live ammunition beside Augustus.
"Perhaps we can deepen our cooperation in the future." He stretched out a hand and shook it with Augustus: "We are the Cerberus Project. We are just a little-known small biotechnology company now, but there will always be opportunities.
One day, we will be famous around the world...and then go public."
"This shouldn't be difficult." Augustus remembered the name. Cerberus is a confidential project of the Tyranids. It mainly studies how to control Zerg: "What is your company's main research, biological genetic modification?
?There is a huge market for this in Tarsonis and Korhal."
"Um..." The man seemed a little embarrassed to say: "We are currently only studying how to control Yumoyang cows and let this creature produce milk according to our needs... But the technology we use
Absolutely cutting-edge, our scientists have been able to implant special organic substances that can continue to grow in the third temporal lobe of the brain of Umoyan cows, thereby controlling their pregnancy response."
"There should be quite a market for this. Does this trick work for people?" Augustus asked casually: "Of course, I don't want to get girls pregnant."
"No, no, no." The man waved his hand quickly: "We can't test on living people, it's against morality."
"I'm just asking." Augustus said: "We should each leave a fixed contact information that will not be easily changed. The boss behind me will definitely be interested in your project."
"You can come to me anytime."
"I am extremely happy." The man made a twisted etiquette gesture, which looked like the style of an old aristocrat from a certain main star world.
By the time several bodyguards had checked their equipment and reported to the pot-bellied man, Augustus had already left his contact information with him. Next, Augustus' people began to inspect the banknotes.
The price had been negotiated long ago. A total of about 12 million credit coins were purchased for this batch of equipment, most of which were powered armor. This was enough to buy a 60-square-meter house in Korhal IV Stillling Queens.
.
The people from the Cerberus Project quickly drove away in a truck. During Rick's report, Augustus learned that at least ten armed men went to respond.
"We have to leave as soon as possible." Tychus said, looking at the two Raptor armored vehicles in the parking lot: "In this business, it's common for gangsters to take advantage of others."
"What are you afraid of?" Augustus told him not to be so nervous: "We are here for vacation, and we must at least have one meal before going back.
Augustus immediately led the Heavenly Demons out of the parking lot, and Tychus followed him. He was also very courageous.
They turned into a not-so-depressed commercial street and walked into a Gothic-style hot spring hotel. From the outside, this towering Gothic building was extremely gorgeous, with rows of bow windows reflecting deep yellow light.
Slender stone pillars are arranged in a radial pattern, and the shell-colored railings outside the window are carved with Byzantine lions.
Everyone carries a gun, so no one dares to covet the contents of the box.
