The Confederate Army Is Not Invincible
"Now, I often wonder whether it is worth making so many sacrifices." Raynor opened his Power Armor mask, revealing a face full of pain.
"Although I don't like people from Alpha Squadron, I have to admit that they are much more difficult to deal with than Haigolong Legion from Kel-Morian."
"My soldiers rushed forward one after another. When one person fell, more people rose up. Officers, political commissars and party members took the lead in the charge. We and Alpha Squadron people fought with each other for a few acres in the mass grave, all with passion."
"In the end, we watered this land with blood, but rye and oats still can't grow here."
"We have every advantage, but winning is not easy." Mira Han followed up.
"Except for Gauss Rifle, all their weapons are better than ours, Power Armor is also faster and stronger than ours, and many of us are still wearing Exoskeleton Armor with little protection." Mira's expression was serious. At this time, she really looked like a leader, majestic and oppressive.
"Only now do I know that the regular army is not comparable to the militia. If Alpha Squadron had encountered other insurrectionary armies, they would have been defeated long ago. Without us, those Ma Sara people armed with pistols and Molotov cocktails who wanted to launch an uprising would have been swept away by Alpha Squadron like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves."
"If you want to succeed, you must pay the price of blood and sweat." Augustus looked at Raynor and Mira, looking at their riddled Power Armor, and understood what a brutal battle they had gone through.
"This revolution is no small matter."
"Even if Terran Confederacy's government is still corrupt, his army still maintains Tarsonis Old Families's hegemony in Koprulu Sector and oppresses the people of Edge World," he said.
"All we can do is give our blood, tears and all the suffering we have experienced, and these sufferings will one day closely unite our soldiers and make them indestructible."
"The battle of Ma·Sara proved that: Terran Confederacy's army is not invincible. Even Alpha Squadron was defeated in our hands. Confederacy and Giant are just pottery sculptures that break at the touch of a touch."
"It won't be long before people know about Alpha Squadron's failure in Ma·Sara."
"I'm afraid things won't be that simple." Raynor shook his head. "Alpha Squadron's failure in Ma·Sara will definitely be blocked by Confederacy, and they will even claim that they have wiped out all the rebels."
"This has to go to our old friend Mike·Liberty. With the help of the Terra Family and Holt Family, he has already controlled a lot of resources at the UNN headquarters." Augustus said, "We have our own newspapers and TV stations, but these are banned on Terran Confederacy's planet."
"To be honest, I'm really worried that Mike will be visited one day by Ghost operative of Confederacy. His situation is very dangerous." Raynor calmed down. In any case, they won after all. Regardless of the cost, they ate at least 20,000 people of Alpha Squadron, and the equipment captured on the battlefield could arm at least two full divisions.
"I don't think a UNN news column host who reports negative news about Confederacy every day can prosper in Tarsonis. Not only does he say good things for us, he also frequently exposes some black material about the Tarsonis government."
"Mike is dancing on the sword." Augustus shrugged.
"But fortunately, his dancing skills are outstanding."
"Well, may God bless him." Raynor forced out an ugly smile, "If there really is a God."
Then, Augustus and Raynor stopped talking. They quietly stared at the motorcade and the advancing army in the distance for a while, and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I can't believe we won." Raynor said.
"Yes." Augustus said, "We have prepared for this day for more than a month, surveyed the terrain, held combat meetings, and worked hard. So many people died, but fortunately we did not suffer defeat."
"Duke Where is that guy?" Raynor suddenly remembered something. "I remember you said that he took the lead in surrendering."
"Honestly, I'm not surprised at all. Edmond·Duke doesn't look like the kind of person who is loyal and unyielding."
"Where is he now?" Mira Han leaned on his waist and looked at Augustus. This Power Armor was still too big for the petite Mira. She had to put a dozen inches of thick cushion under her butt, otherwise once she opened the Power Armor, she would only be able to expose her eyes and nose.
"I must give an explanation to my men."
"He is right next to him." Augustus led Raynor and Mira to the command center next to him, "Tychus and Hank are staring at him."
"I hope the two of them won't spoil Duke." Mira said astonishingly.
The command center that Augustus is heading for took off from Martin Fortress and landed at the bottleneck position. According to the requirements of Augustus, Rory·Swann 0 The Revolutionary Army engineering group headed by installed a stronger steel frame structure and battlecruiser-level titanium alloy steel plates in this command center in addition to the superstructure and main building. It also installed multiple 250mm rail cannons.
The armor and heavy artillery installed on the command center were so heavy that this huge building lost the ability to fly.
The current command center has been almost completely destroyed. The burn marks of the energy weapons are clearly visible. Most of the armor plates have been penetrated, as if they were burnt fish scales.
Through a door guarded by two Revolutionary Army sergeants, Augustus and Raynor walked into the temporary cell where Edmond·Duke was held.
When Augustus walked into the temporary cell, he saw Duke sitting on an iron chair, with his hands and feet locked by electromagnetic shackles. Duke had a sharp edge. His head was covered in bruises and he didn't dare to move. Apparently he was punched and kicked by Tychus and Harnack next to him. These two villains never cared about whether they should give preferential treatment to their captives.
"Damn Mengsk, this is not what you promised! I should be a general, not a prisoner!" Duke stood up as soon as he saw Augustus.
"The two are not in conflict." Raynor clenched his iron fist when he saw Duke. As early as Turaxis II, Augustus's men had wanted to beat Duke. After this battle, even more people hated him.
"I heard that you abandoned the darkness and turned to the light?" he said sarcastically.
"Sit down." Augustus said softly to Duke.
"Your mission is not completed yet, I still need you to do two things."
"Then you will kill me?" Duke stared at Augustus, sweating profusely. He believed that Augustus was by no means a kind person. Augustus was the wolf of Mengsk, and wolves should be ruthless and eat people without spitting out their bones.
"I still have value. I am a member of the Duke Family. I know the defense map of Tarsonis's defense force and the weaknesses of the remaining naval squadrons. Killing me will not get you more than making me loyal to you." He said excitedly.
"I've long had enough of those idiots in the Parliament and Navy Headquarters. They were jealous of my talents and made me a lieutenant colonel for more than ten years!"
"I don't trust people, but I don't trust people when I employ them." Augustus said calmly, "If you can take your Alpha Squadron to eliminate Governor Ma·Sara's troops and kill him with your own hands, then I will temporarily believe in your loyalty."
"There is also a Alpha Squadron Marine Corps of about 10,000 people on Ridgecrest Plains. I need you to persuade this unit to surrender."
Duke's troops were divided into three batches to land on Ma·Sara. Augustus only destroyed two batches of landing troops commanded by Duke, and the other one was commanded by Confederate Marine Corps The colonel commanded. The colonel also heard Duke's order to surrender to the Revolutionary Army, but no matter what he thought, this army did not surrender, but continued to wander around the landing point, deliberately attacking the towns controlled by the Revolutionary Army.
For Augustus, it is the best choice to minimize losses or even capture these Alpha Squadron without any bloodshed. If possible, Augustus also hopes that Alpha Squadron can be used for himself.
"How can you believe such a thing Viper?" Raynor's eyes widened.
"Don't worry, Jimmy, he is our Viper now." Augustus replied.
"I will do what you say, you can trust me." Duke swore. "I swear to be loyal to you, for my family and my reputation."
"Okay, no matter what, before that, let me beat him up first." Raynor waved his fist.
