This multi-story mobile fortress is a strategic-level weapon of the United States of Yumoyang. The combined layers are equivalent to the area of a moon. It has built-in nuclear weapons launch silos, physics laboratories, scientific research stations, and several giant shipyards. This huge mobile base can be moved to other galaxies through jumps when necessary. Currently, the United States of Umoyan has deployed such fortresses in multiple node galaxies, and some fortresses are even as far away as the planet Koprlu.
Augustus's sister Dorothy and nephew Valerian were not the only ones here today. His mother Catherine was standing looking at him, accompanied by hundreds of security personnel and Umoyan soldiers carrying Gauss rifles on their shoulders.
These Yumoyang soldiers wore dark blue military uniforms and pointed military caps with light yellow tassels. Their woolen single-breasted military uniforms were embroidered with the United States of America emblem in blue and white thread on the chest, and had large golden epaulet tassels on their shoulders.
Each soldier is equipped with an AGR rifle with a spur and a rapier with a cage-shaped arm guard. The soldiers hold their heads high and their neat military appearance makes Augustus unable to find any faults.
In addition to Ivon Stamford, whom Augustus had already met, an admiral from the Umoyan Protectorate Navy and two sector commanders were also present today.
"Augustus, we all miss you." Dorothy Mengsk ran to Augustus holding up her floor-length skirt and hugged her brother tightly.
Eighteen-year-old Dorothy is as beautiful and charming as her mother when she was young. The eyebrows inherited from the Mengsk family add a different kind of heroism to her, and the dark gray pupils seem to be cut out of sapphire. Dorothy was no longer a little dot in the eyes of her father and brother, a little doll walking around with a pony toy in her arms. She has grown into a beautiful girl with tall legs and long legs, and her cheeks are full of youthful vitality.
Dorothy stood on tiptoes, hugged her brother's neck and rubbed his face with her fair and smooth cheek, like a sweet cat.
But if anyone thinks that the daughter of Angus and Catherine is a weak and spoiled noble lady, then they will surely pay the price for their stupidity. Dorothy Mengsk already controls two-thirds of the Mengsk family's companies. Her talent in management and finance allows her to easily run the huge financial empire that originally belonged to the Mengsk family.
Her many high-return investments in Umoyan soon proved her outstanding vision in the financial field, and Dorothy was undoubtedly a genius in this area.
And just like her father and brothers, Dorothy is also a master of swordsmanship and fighting. Even without holding a sword, Dorothy can knock down an average adult male in two moves or something. If she holds a sword, she can wield a knight's double-edged epee and slash at wolves, tigers, and leopards.
"That's the boss's sister..." Hanak next to him pointed at Augustus's back in surprise and said, "Oh my god, this is the best girl I've ever seen in my life..." ..”
After saying this, Harnak immediately covered his mouth, for fear that Augustus would hear it.
"This is my biological sister." Tychus' reaction was flat. He knew that Dorothy Mengsk's identity and status were almost equal to Princess Korhal IV. If anyone dared to hurt her, her powerful brothers would immediately jump up and send him to death or to be fed to insects. And Tychus still prefers the girls in the strip club.
"Augustus valued this sister more than anything else. When he was in Turasis II, Augustus was always tense, like a ferocious lion. Only when he wrote to his sister did he Then he becomes gentle, and then you can brush his fur," Reno said.
"This is so rare - no wonder he always ignored me when I asked him to play disk before." Hanak then looked at Valerian behind Dorothy: "Rich families have a lot of sisters."
"I remember Augustus said that he only has one sister... He also has a nephew... who is the son of his brother Arcturus." Renault touched his chin, as if he had something to say. think.
"Maybe I remembered it wrong." He shrugged, not caring much about this matter.
"That's a boy." Sarah Kerrigan looked at Valerian and said, reading his deep memories through telepathy: "This seems to be the tradition of the Mengsk family. The second boy in the family is I wore skirts until I was ten years old.”
"Oh - oh?" Hanak nodded first, and then seemed to have discovered something. For a moment, he showed a gloomy expression as if his world view had collapsed.
Kerrigan also had a look on her face, because the bastard was no doubt thinking about what Augustus would look like in a dress.
"You must never mention this matter to Augustus." Renault shrugged indifferently. He didn't care about Augustus' dark history at all: "Since Augustus has never mentioned this matter to us, thing, that means he finds it shameful."
"Uncle Augustus." Valerian walked to Augustus at this time and said.
"I haven't forgotten what you said. I have been practicing swordsmanship and studying books on politics and economics... Now they can no longer call me a sissy, I am a man now."
When Dorothy was in Augustus's arms, Valerian raised his head and looked at his uncle.
Valerian was not only wearing a light blue skirt and a small lace silk white shirt, but also a woolen shawl with a gold edge. Obviously, the bloodline of the Yumoyan Pasteur family gave Valerian beautiful golden hair and soft facial contours. He also inherited the hawk-like curve of the high nose and the stormy dark gray color from the Mengsk family. pupil.
His father Arcturus gave the blond little boy the regal coolness and decisiveness of the Mengsk family, while his gentle mother gave him the kindness, kindness, and elegance and self-control.
"Valerian, Xiao Val." Augustus said: "It seems that I will soon be unable to hold you."
"You did a great job - people of the Mengsk family are born to do great things." He repeated the words of his father Angus, who was also Professor Mengsk for generations, to his children.
"This dress..." Suddenly the corners of Augustus' eyes jumped. He slowly emerged from his long-standing dark memories that had been sealed away. The style of Valerian's clothes was exactly the same as what Augustus had worn as a child.
Poor Valerian, if Augustus had not tried his best to transfer his mother and sister to Eumoyan, then he would not have suffered such a terrible fate just under the care of his mother Juliana.
"This outfit?" Valerian pulled up his skirt.
"It's very comfortable to wear. But if I wear this after training with Master Judah, the soldiers of Umoyan will surround me and look at me."
"That's not a good thing." Augustus moved Dorothy's head away from him, came to Valerian, leaned over and held his nephew's face: "If those people despise you because of this, then... Knock them all down. If you want to become the heir to the Mengsk family, you must work harder."
After speaking, Augustus took his nephew's hand and walked towards his mother. As he walked, he waved to General Umoyan and the soldiers who lined up to welcome him next to his mother.
Kerrigan, Raynor and others followed Augustus, forming a moving fan shape with the Revolutionary Army soldiers spread out behind. Everyone looked at Augustus, and it was as if all the lights were focused on Augustus.
Augustus wore a straight dark gray military uniform, a dark red cloak, and a bronze medal hanging on his chest. He held Dorothy's hand in one hand and Valerian in the other, and he suddenly felt like a head of state walking on the red carpet at a diplomatic occasion.
"Hello, Admiral Ted..." Augustus shook hands with Umoyan's naval generals one by one, and then waved. When he attended the banquet of the nobles, Augustus was personable and spoke freely, but now his movements only showed majesty.
"Lieutenant General Heinz, I heard about your great achievements in defeating the Trinidad pirates when we were in Korhal."
"Ah...I am Augustus Mengsk."
The generals of Umo Yang also show extremely high qualities. They all graduated from the United States Military Academy and rose to their current status by virtue of their own abilities and the accumulation of qualifications rather than the reputation of their families.
The aristocratic officers of the Tyranid Federation are used to bossing around and are always very arrogant, while the officer system of the Kemerian Federation is completely different from other political systems. The nature of their officers is closer to that of high-ranking corporate officials.
The senior officers of the Umo Yang military generally come from civilians and the middle class, and their promotion channels are relatively fair. Soldiers can obtain the status they deserve based on their ability rather than their background. There is no shortage of capable officers among the officers of Umo Yang's army, and they are not incompetent.
Augustus talked for a long time with the generals. Of course, Augustus briefly talked about some of his deployments in the battle of Mar Sara, and then talked about his encounter with an alien race on a certain planet.
The Umo Yang generals attach great importance to this. For a long time, the United States has always wanted to obtain mysterious technology from the alien ruins they discovered, but so far they have not had direct contact with the protoss, so they have always wanted to Not much progress was made.
In just a few words, Augustus tickled the Umoyan people, and then, when pressed by the generals, he reluctantly mentioned that he had pried off many complete altars of Tal'darin stars and seized some incredible artifacts. Psychic weapons.
At that moment, Umo Yang's generals immediately decided to pay heavily for these altars and protoss weapons.
After a while, Augustus finally dealt with the enthusiastic Umoyan soldiers and promised that the cooperation between the Revolutionary Army and the Umoyan Protectorate Army would, as always, include the sharing of technology.
Bypassing the Umoyan generals and leaving them to Renault and others to deal with, Augustus walked towards his mother Catherine.
"Mom, I will stay in Umoyan for a while." Augustus was already much taller than his mother. He was taller than he was two years ago, and his broad shoulders seemed to be able to support a mountain.
Augustus was sad to see some wrinkles on Catherine's face, but he knew that no one could escape the passage of time.
"Augustus, my boy," said Catherine, smiling.
"You are no longer that toddler. My wings have grown and I can already withstand strong winds and fly. We no longer worry about you living in a miserable state, but we are always worried that one day bad news about the revolutionary army will come." She said. To put it mildly.
"Angus always said that you are more like your grandfather, the man who dared to cross the forest on foot with a shotgun. People at that time always said that Augustus Mengsk was a strong bow, the greater the threat to the enemy, The greater the response he gives."
"But I still hope you won't put too much pressure on yourself. In the letter you wrote to me, you always said that you carry the hopes of all Korhal people and you are not allowed to fail."
"...I will, mother." Augustus said after a few seconds of silence, looking at his mother.
"Where's Angus? I know he has joined the Umoyan Council."
"He can't get away today." Catherine sighed: "You will see him."
"I heard that Angus is much older and has gray hair," said Augustus.
"After the situation stabilized, some people began to complain that the uprising initiated by Angus was the root cause of the destruction of Korhal IV." He said.
"Those of us are not always strong and unshakable, and when people begin to long for the past, they inevitably blame others for their pain. And we will always blame what is within our reach and what we can see when we look up. Those who arrive will not curse the Federation.”
"We can't stop the rumors and the resentment," Catherine said.
"Whatever prestige Angus had in Korhal in the past, the backlash this prestige gave him would be greater."
"We will surely win," said Augustus.
"But many people don't believe it," Catherine said. "Some people have lost their courage and are wallowing in grief about the past."
"Angus did not change for the destruction of Korhal. He placed all the blame on himself. Declare to everyone that you had been strongly opposed to launching an uprising prematurely, and you only supported him if you had no choice but to support him," she said.
"Coupled with your successive victories, you gradually replaced Angus's position among the Korhal people, and the Korhal people began to regard you as the true savior and undefeated god of war. As long as you take back Korhal, they will I will willingly accept your leadership."
"This honor is not so easy for me to bear. There has never been a savior in this world, nor does it rely on gods." Augustus said: "I am just an ordinary human being. If someone thinks that I is great, then my greatness should come from the greatness of all Keha people and all mankind.
On the sidelines, Corporal Faraday and Kerrigan immediately wrote down what Augustus said. Revolutionaries will soon make this a must-read famous aphorism.
"Where is Arcturus now?" Augustus then asked.
"Arctus is coming back," Catherine said.
At this time, Lieutenant General Warfield, Brigadier General Duke, and Major General Lundstein each led a hundred-man guard from their battleships and came towards Augustus.
Warfield was at the forefront. He was an old subordinate of Arcturus Mengsk and the longest among the generals. He had become the number two figure in the Revolutionary Army besides Marshal Augustus.
To Augustus, Warfield, even a reliable general, was an elder. Most importantly, Warfield once learned about Augustus' dark history from Arcturus's jokes.
"The child of Arcturus...the tradition of the Mengsk family cannot be abandoned. Originally Arcturus was strongly opposed to this matter, thinking that it would damage the value of his son who was not very rich. Manliness," he said.
"But then we mentioned you, and he thought it was acceptable for Valerian to wear a skirt."
