On Christmas Eve, Augustus did not stay with his family. Instead, he hurriedly summoned the cadres and members of the Revolutionary Army. Every confederate city, free trade city, industrial city and star port ring city gathered together.
Two to three representatives were sent. The location was in the warehouse of an IAA holographic projection screen factory owned by the Mengsk Group.
Although this huge organization has more than 100,000 people and is scattered in cities across Korhal IV, in order to avoid being hunted by the police and agents, they still use the secret method of underground organizations to communicate. It is not so much an army.
, it is better to say that they are underground party members who are connected by enthusiasm, belief and desire for freedom.
The Keha Revolutionary Army is a relatively loose revolutionary organization. The members of the Revolutionary Army in each city are organized and managed by a revolutionary committee. Each committee member is responsible for several urban communities or factories and villages. The top leader of the Revolutionary Army is
He is called "general", "first leader", and "pioneer", but no one knows his real name, it is just a vague symbol.
Angus Mengsk was the founder of this revolutionary army, but he was not a "general". This position should have belonged to his eldest son Arcturus Mengsk, but the latter was busy mining.
On the afternoon of December 23, Augustus saw nearly one hundred and thirty members of the revolutionary army in a factory warehouse whose doors and windows were blackened with a special black coating. Some of them were stilling marchers.
Among the organizers of the demonstrations, others are responsible for publicity work and recruiting new members. The funds for the activities are mainly provided by the Mengsk family, and the rest are the initiators of "terrorist attacks."
In the warehouse illuminated by blue lights, Augustus stood in front of the attendees wearing a black square-necked long-sleeved coat.
Members of the Revolutionary Army wearing overalls, suits, casual clothes, high school student uniforms and even bartender uniforms were whispering about Augustus's identity. Augustus' codename was Ensign, which didn't sound like much, but in the revolution
Military rank is not a position, but an exclusive title for an important person.
Many people speculate that he is the "first leader" or "general" because only he has the power to summon the top leaders of the revolutionary army to come here.
Some people recognized Augustus as the second son of Angus Mengsk, the leader of the Kerkha independence movement, and were very surprised that he could appear here. Before Augustus joined the army, due to the Mengsk family's
The heirs have always kept a very low profile, and few outsiders have access to their photos.
But after Augustus became a war hero and became widely known as the commander of the Demons of Heaven, his reputation in Korhal IV naturally increased.
This is completely contrary to the expectations of the federal government and UNN. They originally thought that this would more or less weaken Angus's prestige.
Most Korhal despise the war heroes elected by the Terran Confederacy, but Augustus Mengsk is an exception. Simply because of his last name and his iconic cold gray eyes and hair.
There are bronze statues of the first generation Mengsk erected in many places on Korhal IV, and flowers will be presented on the day of his birth. People regard the Stirling Wolf as a kind of spirit of the Korhal people's perseverance and fearlessness of power.
Symbol, it is believed that the Mengsk family has inherited the characteristics and character of the wolf, and each generation of Mengsk is the born leader of the wolf pack.
"I am Augustus Mengsk, your leader."
"I summoned you just to understand some situations." Augustus looked at the many pairs of watching eyes: "Before that, I want to announce something."
Although this was only their first meeting with Augustus, at this moment, everyone stopped talking and were infected by Augustus' serious face and sonorous voice. They stared at Augustus
That young but majestic face, looking forward to every sentence and word he is about to say.
"Those impassioned speeches, the cry for revolution and freedom, the pursuit of freedom and independence, my father Angus Mengsk has said enough. And there is only one thing I want to say." He said.
"The war has begun!"
"In the past, you had many identities, including your parents' sons, fathers, and husbands. But now, I want to call you revolutionary warriors, my soldiers!"
"Fight for Korhal!" Almost at the same time, all the revolutionaries saluted Augustus with a fist salute.
"For the new order!" Augustus clenched his right fist and raised it high.
"Khar above all else!"
The responses were uniform and deafening.
"Khar above all else!"
The revolutionary parties who came to attend this meeting all knew that this would be a general mobilization for war, which meant that the Keha Revolutionary Army was about to become a real army.
This not-so-large hardware distribution warehouse is filled with high-spirited young people, ranging in age from sixteen to forty, from various industries. There are losers and winners, from sewer cleaners to factory workers.
Managers, from failed art students to suspected mental patients, they are all-encompassing and diverse reflections of this society.
Augustus silenced everyone and began to ask them some questions.
"Corporal Newsom, how many people can be mobilized in the Confederate city of Newtland?" Augustus asked.
"Two thousand people."
"If I give you three months, can you increase this number to 20,000 people?"
"I will mobilize all the people with lofty ideals that I can. If I can't do it, then let my blood be shed on the land of Korhal."
"..."
Augustus asked each representative about the number of local revolutionary troops and the revolutionary will of the masses, and then he said: "Time is running out, fellow citizens, soldiers."
"We must gather like-minded people in the shortest possible time and establish a standing army. This standing army must have at least ten integrated army divisions and two army groups formed by them. Remember, this will be a professional army, not a
A hastily put together peasant uprising army. The army will be commanded by the revolutionary army headquarters and obey orders."
"The Korhal Revolutionary Army needs to be restrained by strict discipline, with sergeants maintaining discipline, and officers executing orders from the Supreme Command. We need a recruitment department, a logistics department, human resources management, a hospital department, a supervision department...
..”
"We also need to build Korhal's own fleet from scratch and train qualified fleet soldiers. If we don't have battleships and battlecruisers, then we will convert merchant ships into assault ships, cargo ships into gunboats, and giant-class transport ships into
Frigate."
"The new government will allocate funds to build a geosynchronous orbit platform and transform two satellites into fortresses, so we also need a rapid reaction force that can fight in space."
