Meinhof Geosynchronous Orbital Space Station, launch port.
Augustus and his first class of Heavenly Demons are waiting for the starhoppers to arrive at launch port C. Waiting with them is Rory, who he recently hired to work at the Korhal Revolutionary Army's shipyard and technology laboratory.
·Swan.
"You told me that Korhal IV is facing some 'little trouble'?"
While waiting, Swann said to Augustus, who was standing beside him.
"If you call revolution a little trouble." Augustus did not hide this from Swann.
"Oh, I thought you were going to say, 'All we have to do is kick the asses of those nobles and turn their families upside down.'" Swann was not afraid at all: "You are always used to kicking people out of their homes."
A very difficult thing is made easy.”
"For example, someone said that Mr. Mengsk would take off the sun from the sky today. He would only say, oh, we must first build a pyramid that can reach deep space. This is of course a small matter."
"...I don't want to preach to you, Swann." Augustus said: "Sometimes someone has to stand up and encourage people, and you know I have to play this role often. Well,
Putting this aside, have you already remembered which exit of Stillling Skyport you should take, and what the person who picks you up looks like?"
"I'm taking note." Swann said, "This shouldn't be difficult. I'm not some stupid little dwarf. You don't need to remind me repeatedly."
A few days ago, Augustus found Holly Swann, who was unemployed again due to the departure of the Demon from Heaven.
Augustus signed a five-year contract with Swann and gave him a salary of 20 million federal credit coins, equivalent to about 15 million Camorian coins. This was enough to support the Swan family until the federal army evacuated.
when.
Swann said bluntly that after federal-appointed officials took over the New Apollon mines and factories, the Kemorians were enslaved by them. They only received very little food every day and lived a slave-like life, which was far inferior to heaven.
While the demons are still here.
Resistance was a matter of time, but even so, his family was unwilling to leave Meinhof, and Swann decided to find a job with Augustus because he needed to earn money to keep his people alive.
.
"It will be a while before my cousins go to Korhal, but I have to recruit some extra people locally to work on an improved version of the Goliath armed robot and design new power armor...
"Fortunately, you gave me two obsolete prototypes, the CMC power armor and the electromagnetic gun." Swann suddenly shook his head: "I hope those Korhals can be as reliable as Mrs. Meinho."
"Where did you find those treasures?"
"While at Poker's Pride, we encountered an unlucky gangster. I suspect they are some wealthy resistance organization." Augustus said to Swann.
"Is there more than one rebel army? Forget it, the more the better." Swann smacked his lips.
"How about it, can we obtain the design drawings of Goliath and power armor through reverse engineering?" Augustus was still uneasy.
"If we start from scratch, it will take at least a few years, but we (Kemorian) have been studying these power armors and Goliath armed robots, and some technical problems have been overcome. Besides, you are not saying that the Umoyan people are also
Will experts be sent out?" Swann said.
"Umo Yang's reverse engineering is amazing. They must have been able to perfectly reproduce the power armor and Goliath mecha. Some of my relatives who work outside also said that if the Umo Yang people obtained a federal ship
Battlecruisers, then they will be able to build an elite fleet immediately."
"The Umoyan people also try to restore the mysterious alien ruins they discovered on some planets and obtain alien technology through reverse engineering. But who knows whether these aliens were destroyed millions of years ago?
Or, this is simply the joke of the century."
"Maybe there really is a group of aliens, who knows." Augustus shrugged. At this time, a large shuttle flew into the port, and Augustus and others waved goodbye to Swann.
"Good luck to you, Mr. Swann of Meinhof."
"I also wish you good luck, Boss Mengsk." Swann waved his hand, then sat down on a round chair, and began to feel sad about leaving his hometown.
What a wonderful fate. A few months ago, he never imagined that he would have to leave his hometown to make a living. On the one hand, Augustus had unreserved trust in Swann's ability, but mainly because of this wealthy man.
Qian's boss offered him a price he couldn't refuse.
In the end, Rory Swann found himself inexplicably the boss of the weapons research and manufacturing department of the Korhal Revolutionary Army, as well as several scientific research stations and laboratories under the Mengsk Group.
At this time, Swann remembered what Augustus had said to him more than once: Swann, you will become a great inventor, think more and learn more.
Make more friends in weapon design.
...
Centerville Town, Shiloh Planet, Terran Federation Territory.
Viewed from geostationary orbit, Shiloh is a gorgeous and brilliant orange, with several major continents separated by wide oceans.
Temperature and water resources suitable for human survival are the main reasons why this planet has become one of the Federation colonies, but Shiloh is not a fertile planet. It lacks mineral and metal reserves, and the land is mostly covered with alkaline peat.
Dry areas, where farming requires double the hard work and sweat.
Unlike prime worlds like Korhal IV, Shiloh was spared the war due to its lack of character and strategic value, but its people were starving due to heavy taxes.
"We may be able to establish a revolutionary army base here." Augustus said when he got off the rented hover car and set foot on the black and gray land of Shiloh for the first time: "The people here are very tough.
They are also very brave, but the important thing is that they are starving."
"This place has become more depressed." Reynolds stood behind him, looking at the dome building in Centerville with nostalgia.
"A lot of people in this town went into the military...but how many of them came back. We fought for the Union, and the Union left our parents and families to starve."
"And the revolutionary army will change everything." Augustus assured him.
Then, Renault took Augustus and others towards his home. Like many houses in Charlois, 80 to 90% of the colonial cabins here are dark in order to avoid the hot sunshine and cold winter.
Buried underground.
At the door of Reno's house, Augustus met Reno's mother, a woman with green eyes and black hair. She was unusually thin, and her original beautiful face was no longer plump.
It was this woman who taught Reno to be honest and kind.
