Now, Augustus is sitting on an Adion crystal mine. The New Apollonian mining area is among the many mines in the Camorian complex that are graded according to mineral richness. It can only be regarded as relatively low-level, with mining value but reserves.
The column that is not high. If the mining cost is too high, the mining company in Kemorian will abandon it immediately.
The higher crystal purity and the newly discovered associated rare metal ores allowed the mining plan to be approved, and then a small community called New Apollowen appeared near the mining area. Today, with the colonists, gold prospectors and miner families
With the influx, the population of this community has reached nearly 20,000.
Even so, the revenue from crystal mines and other associated rare crystal mines produced every twenty-four hours in the New Apollowen mining area far exceeds the standard medium-sized mines held by the Tyranid Federation. The Kaimorians charge per cubic meter
Estimating the value of high-purity Adeen crystal in meters rather than per gram by the Federation, their dedication to finding crystal veins is closer to obsession.
In the past few decades, there has been a case where the wealthy Kaimorian Mining Company came forward to buy the mineral mining rights of an entire planet of the Tyranid Federation.
At that time, even the most powerful and formidable founding family of the Federation, the Tagore family, marveled at the wealth of Moria's mining enterprises and no longer considered the Moria people to be country bumpkins and uncivilized savages who had never seen the world.
.The nobles dancing in the ornately decorated ballroom immediately elevated the status of the Moria people—nouveau riche who lacked education and did not understand etiquette.
However, this is also the trigger for the Guild War. The greedy Tyranids don't have the Camorian's intuition for searching for mineral veins and tenacious patience, but they just need to make sure they have more guns than the Camorian.
That's fine.
The Kaimorians built their mining empire over dozens or even hundreds of years, while the Terran Federation collapsed in less than four years of war and took all the wealth to themselves.
However, Augustus knew that this war only made a small number of people in the federation rich, while most civilians became even poorer than before.
For the independence of Korhal 4 and the revolutionary cause of his father Angus, it also shows that the revolution of the Korhal people is tenable. When the people find that no matter how hard they work, they cannot support themselves.
When he is with his family, the prairie fire of uprising will sweep across the entire world, and more and more people will support Korhal.
At this time, the door to the supervisory office suddenly opened, and Tychus Finley walked in, wearing a loose uniform, holding a stack of documents in his hand.
"This is the list of the new batch of miners who applied for work in the mines. Tell me what medicine you gave those Camorians?" Tychus sent the document to Augustus' desk, and he said: "Say
Tell me how you defeated them."
"Fewer working hours, more bread."
Augustus dropped the pen in his hand on the table, put his elbows on the table, and put his fingers together on his chin: "I have investigated and found that the lives of the miners in the Kemerian Consortium and other industries are not as good as what the union government promotes.
Although the world is so good, many people actually don't have enough to eat. This world is not much better than the Terran Federation, and exploitation and oppression still exist."
"The idea that workers' rights to receive reasonable wages should not be violated, that workers should enjoy basic social welfare, and have the right to freely elect the government is actually propaganda on paper."
"The owners of the mining company and the union representatives also said that the Kemorian Federation is a union of workers, and the working class should dominate the world." He said: "Of course, their workers are indeed in a better situation than the Tyranids.
It's better. Before the war broke out, workers' wages in the Commonwealth were generally two to three times higher than those in the Federation."
"I think this idea is a good one, but the government of the consortium just says one thing and does another. As long as you look at who established the Camerian Consortium, you can understand. The consortium is Moria Mining
The guild was established by the Kelanis Transportation Guild, and the legal representatives elected by them are really in charge. The union was not established by workers, but by entrepreneurs."
"Do you know what this means?"
"You know I don't have time to pay attention to current politics, worry about national affairs, and worry about whether the system is reasonable or not." Tychus frowned: "Why are you studying these things?"
"Don't tell me that you want to cause rebellion among the noble gentlemen...and I remember that your family is not a big noble in Korhal 4? What's the difference between this and you trying to lift up your skirt?"
"You're asking." Augustus looked at Tychus.
"Okay, okay, what does that mean? My great statesman," Tychus said angrily.
"That shows that the union is just a means for the real wealthy people in Kemerian to control the workers. When the contradiction between the working class and the upper class cannot be reconciled, the union representatives will stand up to 'speak for the workers and fight for their interests', and through the representatives
The company's president would always reluctantly agree to our arguments."
"But in fact, the terms of compromise have long been negotiated in secret." Augustus said: "The trade unions have no right to influence the independent government's decision-making. They have the right to propose proposals, but that's all."
"But this has nothing to do with us, no, with me wanting to live a luxurious life after making a fortune." Tychus pulled a chair from the side and sat down, burying his buttocks into the soft cushions.
, snorted comfortably.
"It's a big deal." Augustus took Lisa's coffee. The latter's twisting waist made Tychus lament Augustus' good luck: "The Camorion government is actually not very good.
I win the hearts of the people, so as long as the treatment we provide is better. At least let them eat three meals a day, have the remaining money to save, and still have hope in life, then they will be willing to work for me."
"Moreover, in order to prevent the Kemerian Federation from continuing to transport personnel and weapons to Meinhof, the interstellar route for imported goods has been cut off by our fleet, and the problem of long-term self-sufficiency in food has been greatly amplified. Jim has been there
During a trip to the local market, he saw that the price of food had increased exponentially and hunger had spread," he said.
"If the residents of the New Apollon community cannot find work, their families will starve to death."
"Mengsk, I never thought you were not a capitalist..." Tychus showed a sinister smile: "'Vampire' blood is flowing in your body... But let me tell you,
You are not a real capitalist."
"We'll be here for a month at most. Do you care whether they live or die? Kemerian is our enemy. I say, just let them live, just like their union government did before."
.In this way, the crystal mines we can resell will be much more than now."
"Anyway, the people of New Apollovin have to work for us as long as they don't want to starve to death. We don't need to do much better than their original government, and we don't owe the Kemorians anything."
"This lifeless stone planet is unlucky enough, but also lucky enough, because the war stopped at the moment it was about to reach here."
"Camerian is also a human being. We are still enemies now, but we may become friends in the future." Augustus shook his head: "I..."
"I don't want to see anyone starving to death in front of me."
"You are a good man, Mengsk." Tychus sent Augustus a good man card.
"By the way, there's one more thing. I almost forgot. Didn't you say you wanted to modify that transport plane? The person you want is here."
