Chapter 247: Little Head of State for Private Use

In the bar of the Hyperion, Jim Raynor continued to drink his alcohol. Alcoholism has become his daily life. When he has nothing to do, he likes to hang out here.

The good wine in his hands now is freshly supplied from the Aglia colony on Haven Planet, and the taste is not bad.

Dr. Han Sen and her Agria people gave back everything they could for the help Lei Nuo and the others gave.

Therefore, Renault is very satisfied with these fine wines. This is not only the fruit of the victory, but also the affirmation of the Agria people. This makes Renault feel that their great cause seems to have taken another step forward and harvested part of the heart?

Therefore, while sipping fine wine, he watched with great interest the huge TV hanging above the bulkhead of the bar, and a piece of news was playing on it:

"I am Donnie Vermillion of UNN, the first, last, and only truth-bearer! Tonight, Kate Rockwell will reveal the mysterious Shadow War, narrated by the brave ghosts of the Tyranid Empire Agents are the protagonists, silently guarding us, fighting against brutal enemies..."

The one who appeared at the beginning was Downey, the head of the UNN studio, this funny guy who was full of lies. After he finished speaking, he quickly switched to another screen.

"Thank you Downey! I'm reporter Kate Rockwell, and I'm talking to a beep... (screened), Tyrannian Empire's beep... (screened), especially beep... (screened), we know, you And your mates, have been battling some toot-toot-toot. Can you tell us something?"

After the switch, on the TV screen, in addition to Kate Rockwell, a beautiful reporter from UNN, there was another small screen behind her, which showed that the person who was talking to her was a black figure who couldn't see the specific appearance. It was done to deal with it, and I didn't want the other party's true face to be exposed to the public.

"Okay, Kate, but I can't give too much away..."

Soon, Sombra began to speak incessantly, and then, every time he reached a key word, he would be cut off artificially and added a blocked beeping sound.

"Knowing that the imperial army will guard us, I think everyone can sleep more peacefully at night? I'm Donnefer Millian from UNN, see you tomorrow!"

snort!

Seeing those who were about to tell the truth on TV were blocked in time, while those who told lies were full of benevolence and morality, this made Lei Nuo, who was drinking, sneer with disdain.

this fake news,

I don't know how that Downey dared to say that he is the only spokesman for the truth?

I'm afraid he's actually serving that bastard Mengsk?

Look at him just now, he was so proficient at cutting off other people's live broadcast conversations at critical moments, this matter must not have been done once or twice...

After thinking about it, Renault felt that he had had enough, so he stood up with a slight stagger, and started to walk outside the gate of the bar.

"How's it going, Matt? What's going on with our supplies?"

After routinely finishing his drink in the battleship bar, Renault wandered back to the bridge of the Huberian, and asked Matt who was sorting out the material information.

Three full days have passed since the battle on Haven Star. Now, Raynor and his Hyperion have already left the barren agricultural star, and re-jumped into the universe. Sailing on a remote route, ready to move on to the next step after repairing.

"Sir, we have sufficient living supplies at present, and we don't need to resupply in a short time! As for energy, thanks to the deal with the Federation of Heroes, we have obtained enough high-energy crystals and high-energy gas for us to use for several years. Therefore, we There is no shortage of energy right now!"

After looking at the list of supplies displayed on the smart terminal in his hand, Captain Matt Horner quickly reported.

"That's good, how come I see you are still a little sad?"

This is exactly what Renault wondered, look, now they don't have to worry about food, drink, and energy on the Hyperion, what a great thing is that? You should be happy, why does this Matt still look like this?

"Sir! Because...we're running out of money now..."

After looking at the list of supplies in his hand, and then at Jim Raynor who stood across from him, who almost never asked about these chores, Captain Matt could only speak helplessly.

Although he also knew that his chief would definitely not want to hear the bad news, but he still could only say it.

If someone thinks that they don't need funds to rebel against Mengsk on the Hyperion, they are very wrong!

On this battleship, except for some like-minded people who are willing to follow Jim Raynor in this high-risk and high-return business, a considerable number of other people are those mercenaries they hired at high prices who want money and life!

Only these mercenaries who carry their heads on their waistbands every day dare to fight anyone after receiving money!

Whether it's protoss, bugs, or Mengsk's imperial army, as long as they have money to take, they dare to copy guys and go to the battlefield to fuck him!

And once there is no money, when the contract expires, some of the combat personnel on the Hyperion may shrink by half or even more in an instant?

"Why did you run out of money so quickly?!"

Hearing that it was about money again, and he didn't know if it was because of the alcohol, Lei Nuo suddenly felt a headache, a heartache...

Over the years, they have been hunted down by Mengsk's empire and squeezed their living space, and they have not lived a good life. Lack of money and supplies is a common occurrence, which is nothing more than normal.

But now, with great difficulty, they have made a fortune in energy on Star Haven, and received a large amount of living supplies from Dr. Han Sen's people for free. Renault, who originally thought he could live a good life for a year or two, But they never thought that they would be short of money at this time?

"Why don't we take out those high-energy crystals and high-energy gas first and sell some of them for emergency?"

Thinking about it left and right, Renault, who had no good solution, immediately came up with the idea of ​​the batch of energy that had just been put into storage.

In his mind, these energy sources should be relatively easy to sell in short supply, and the price is ridiculously high. If they sell a part of it on the black market, it is probably enough for them to be romantic and happy for a long time?

"Sir! I don't suggest you do that! Those energy sources are very important to our Hyperion, you shouldn't have such thoughts!"

As soon as he heard that Renault was going to resell energy, Captain Matt became anxious immediately!

In the past few years, their Hyperion has often been in an embarrassing state of insufficient energy, and there are often times when there is no next meal. Therefore, they have to do some business of robbing houses, or recycling junk!

You know, the Behemoth-class super battleship has a huge appetite for energy consumption. Once a fierce battle is encountered, the energy consumed after a big battle will be even more terrifying!

Although the Hyperion has a giant fusion reactor, which is a clean energy source centered on fusion reactions, it can be used, but when ultra-high power output and transitions are required, where is the energy source of high-energy crystals?

Now, they have managed to become a little richer, and they no longer have to worry about energy. This is a good thing that has never happened in the past few years. How can they sell the precious materials they have finally obtained to pay back the money?

Anyway, Matt would never agree to Renault's plan to sell energy for money!

"Okay, then what do you think we should do? Or, do you have any good ideas?"

Seeing that his friend Matt was unwilling to do this, Renault had no choice but to sit on a chair with a slight sigh.

At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart, should he go to that trustee again to do those business without money? The bastard also said last time that he wanted to go to the planet of Bell Stone of the Protoss to get the idea of ​​those protoss sacred crystals?

Tsk! Renault thinks this matter is a bit embarrassing...

You know, he, Renault, just offended the Serrandis executive on Haven. If he went to fight with Tosh now for the god-given gift of the protoss, he would grab that "breath of the creator" "If the state of cyanide...

Then, he, Renault, has really become a space thief!

Then it is an honor to be included in the most wanted list of the Protoss again after the Mengsk Empire?

At that time, he might really have to sneak to Haven Star and live a secluded life with a wife and children with that beautiful doctor...

"Of course, sir! Because, I just received a message just now!"

With that said, Matt clicked directly on the holographic strategic map of the Huberian bridge, and called up a holographic model of a planet, its orbit and other information.

"This is Santanis?!"

After seeing the planet called out by Matt, Renault immediately said that he is very familiar with this planet!

It is the capital administrative star of the old Federation Tyrannian Federation.

It was once a beautiful planet with a highly prosperous economy and population, and it is also the most prosperous administrative planet ever since human exiles established a colony in this Koprulu sector!

Of course, this is all in the past...

When Arcturus Mengsk formed the Sons of Kehal and led the terrorist organization to grow all the way, developing into a full-fledged interstellar rebel army, the invasion of the Zerg soon made the Tyran Federation internal and external besieged, and finally, the Tower Sonnys was eventually overrun by the Zerg as well, and was severely damaged.

It is estimated that at least two billion humans on this planet died in the catastrophe of this bug invasion... But soon after, the Zerg voluntarily abandoned the planet that was captured by them. As for the specific reason , is unknown to outsiders...

It was then that Sarah Louise Kerrigan was captured by the Swarm and transformed into what she is now, the Queen of Blades! It was also at that time that Mengsk's abandonment of the army caused a mutiny in the army. Renault and many people who were originally loyal to Mengsk left angrily, and turned to engage in anti-Mengsk business...

Immediately afterwards, when Arcturus Mengsk succeeded in overthrowing the old Tyranid Federation and establishing the new Tyranid Empire, the refugees from Tarsonis (now known as the Mengsk Constitutional Monarchy) were dispersed In other colonized planets, and this planet itself has not carried out recolonization activities.

The Tyranid Empire imposed a strict military blockade on Tarsonis. Only the official recovery team searched for the technology and military secrets left by the old Federation in the ruins. Even Renault didn't know that Mengsk blocked the ruins that were washed away by nuclear explosions. What kind of crooked ideas do you want to make on this planet that you have passed by?

"You read that right, sir! This planet is indeed Santanis!"

After nodding, Matt operated the holographic map, enlarged the graphic of the planet Santanis, and finally locked on one of the excavation sites of the Empire.

"We inadvertently received the latest excavation report from the Tyranid Empire in Santanis: there are now many supply trains in action, but their defenses are very weak!"

"If we go to intercept the military train of the empire and get the contents inside before those goods are sent to other planets, I think we will be able to get huge benefits?!"

To put it bluntly, it was Matt who suggested that Renault do a cost-free business, cut off the military supplies of the Tyrannian Empire, use what can be used for himself, and sell what can't be used for money! Such a thing is much more reliable than reselling precious energy!

Moreover, the defense of the opponent's army is very weak, and they are still wanted criminals of the Tyrannian Empire. If they don't rob the military supplies of the Tyrannian Empire, should they still rob the merchant ships of those civilians or merchants?

If they really do that, their ranger forces will really become the interstellar bandits that everyone shouts and beats like rats crossing the street.

They are now a group of freedom fighters, definitely not interstellar robbers! Moreover, the nature of the matter is completely different between robbing Mengsk's army and robbing civilians!

"Okay...then it's up to you! Looks like you're ready...so, Matt, do you have any plans?"

After thinking about it, Renault felt that since Matt felt that robbing the empire's military supplies was more affordable than selling his own energy, then he might as well go for it!

"Of course! As far as I know, the Tyranid Empire has restored the power of the suspended railway system in the old Federation era. They use trains to transport those bulky recyclables to a central processing station."

"Our information: A very important thing was found in an excavation site of the Tyrannian Empire. It is said that it is very valuable?! In two days, they will transport it to the processing station, so, at that time, it was us The best time to act!"

"Besides, that thing is likely to be very expensive! Otherwise, the imperial military would not have installed anti-scanning protective carriages on the trains? Therefore, we'd better intercept enough trains and try to get them for the empire That nervous thing... let's hope we're lucky enough then!"

Soon, Matt pointed to the criss-crossed suspended railway lines on the holographic map, and then demarcated an uninhabited area in the middle as their landing battle site two days later.

He intends to land at this location, intercept the military train that raided the empire, and get those valuables.

"Hope we get lucky?! Matt, that's not like a plan you'd talk about..."

To leave a combat operation to luck?

Renault, who had never heard Matt say such a thing, was a little surprised now.

Matt's style of planning military operations has always been known for his rigor. If he is not very sure, he has always come up with a plan, but now, he wants to play luck like a gambler?

"So, sir, do you have any good ideas? I'm all ears!"

That thing must be very valuable, or very important, otherwise, the imperial military would not have blocked the information so strictly, even the trains were equipped with anti-scanning carriages! Therefore, apart from hitting luck and trying to intercept as many trains as possible, Matt has no good way.

They don't have enough money to buy accurate information now, and even if they have money, they may not be able to buy such core military secrets!

"Very good! Matt...you convinced me!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's rob the train in two days! I think old Tychus will like this job!"

There was no good solution, and Renault, who was unwilling to say anything more, nodded and responded generously to this action.

Isn't it just robbery? This is Renault's old line of work. He promises: By then, not a single train will be missed!

Haiwen star, on a continent close to the planet's equator, on a tropical plain with a suitable climate and rich resources, a huge human colony spaceship Hope has landed here from space.

Then, with this spacecraft as the center, the humans of the original Hope and the citizens of the Federation of Heroes are now in full swing. With the efforts of countless SCV engineering vehicles, they began to build the first building belonging to their Federation on this huge construction site. A ground colony city that is also their new capital City of Hope!

At this time, Little Annie was not in this bustling construction site, nor was she in the small and stuffy cabin of Hope, or on those heavy battlecruisers patrolling above the sky.

At this time, she was leading the two elite marines of Demacia and Noxus who had recovered from their cultivation. After taking a heavy armored transport ship and forcibly recruiting two wraith fighters, they went to a place far away from the construction site. The combat training initiated by her is going on in a savannah on the other side of the venue!

"Hey! Galen, please pay attention! The enemy is moving towards you at a high speed. Our fighter plane has driven the enemy over. Hurry up, you must step forward and stop it!"

Next to an armored transport ship parked on the ground, in a military tent, little Anne was squatting on a metal stool, looking at the holographic map on the military combat table in front of her, commanding Galen vigorously Fight Darius and the others.

Behind her, the two technical staff members were also nervously staring at the holographic combat map on the table. They really wanted to step up to help the little head of state, but they didn't dare, so they could only stand in a hurry.

"No, sir! This target is too big! We can't beat it, and we can't eat it! Unless, you let us go back and put on the armored power combat suit first! Or give us a gun?"

Outside the encirclement, Galen and two of his men struggled to grasp their Demacia greatswords. After seeing the enemies rushing towards them driven by fighter planes in the distance, they didn't even think about it, and the three of them directly dragged their Dajian ran to one side, narrowly giving way to the opponent's escape route, but at least he was not hit.

In the case of only wearing officers' casual clothes and not wearing armored power combat uniforms, the three of them really have nothing to do with the enemy who just rushed past...

"Hmph! You guys are so useless!!!"

After seeing that the other party let go of her so easily, she finally chose the target, Little Annie muttered in dissatisfaction.

Then, she quickly lay down on the battle map to operate, and soon, she found a slightly weaker enemy.

The size of this enemy seems to be weaker than the one just now? In this case, they must be able to beat it, right?

"Please pay attention to the No. 2 fighter, found the target: in your seven o'clock direction, distance 486, I have marked it, you hurry to drive it to Darius and the others! Make no mistakes!"

Now that Galen and the others had let go of the first target, Little Anne had no choice but to choose a slightly smaller one.

"The No. 2 fighter plane received it, and I'm turning around... I've seen the target, and the mission is confirmed! Now, I'll drive it over immediately!"

In the encirclement, a Wraith fighter jet did a backflip and changed direction, then swooped down towards the target marked by Little Anne on the radar.

"Hey! Big black man! The enemy is fleeing towards you, you must intercept it! Otherwise, I won't give you food later!"

The big guy just now has been let go by the useless Galen and the others, and she will never miss this one now!

No matter what, she must ask Darius and the others to defeat that enemy and drag the other's body back to skin and cramps, so as to relieve her hatred!

"Sir, sir! Can't you pick a good enemy for me? This guy is obviously more ruthless than the one just now..."

To be honest, seeing the enemies who were being chased by fighter planes and rushing towards his five-member team, Darius was almost not scared.

Look at the opponent's strong and powerful claw-shaped hooves, fine and hard scales, a majestic body and protruding muscles. He looks a little guilty without armor suits and rifles...

If he was put on an armored power combat suit, he, Darius, would dare to go up and chop the other party alone!

However, all of them are now wearing casual clothes, plus a battle ax or a big sword. This is not only seriously insufficient in strength points, but also obviously belongs to the configuration of high attack and low defense, which is really not suitable for fighting!

"I've made up my mind! That's it! If you dare to let it go, I'll lock you all up in a dark room for a week!"

For this battle today, they have been preparing and dawdling for a long time. Now, little Annie absolutely must not miss that goal. That enemy must be taken down immediately!

If they dare to let go again, just for disobeying the order, then they will wait to go back to confinement, no one can persuade them!

"I'm going! Everyone, shrink the encirclement and run over to support Darius immediately, but don't let the enemy run away!"

After hearing what little Annie said, Galen also became anxious. If he really lets go of the enemy, that little brat can really say it and do it!

Therefore, he didn't want to be locked up in a small black room for a week, so he quickly greeted the other team members on the channel, and then he carried his big sword and rushed into the Haiwen Star grassland, which was almost half his waist high.

"Yes, sir!"

"Got it, we're going over now..."

After the responses sounded in twos and threes on the channel, all twenty marines carried their weapons and quickly encircled Darius, intending to unite and knock down the enemy.

"Your Excellency the Head of State! How about I help them with a cannon?"

Hovering in mid-air, looking at Darius and the others who were fighting hard against the enemy under his plane, the pilot on the No. 2 fighter hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Don't shoot! Otherwise, I will lock you up in a small black room for a month, and then transfer you to the engineering team!"

Hearing that the other party planned to shoot, or use an aerial cannon?

Little Annie became anxious immediately, she quickly stood up from the metal stool in front of the holographic map, and warned loudly. If she could shoot, why would she bother laughing for a long time?

The enemy must be hacked to death, and moreover, try to ensure that the enemy's body is intact!

"..."

(…)

"Adjutant Doug, the head of state and the others seem to be engaged in an important military battle now? Maybe, we can go there later?"

In the sky, in the cabin of an armored transport ship, the officer who was sitting in a position listened to the shouts of Head Anne and the shouts of combat from the marines on the channel. He thought for a while, He turned around and proposed to Doug with his eyes closed and resting.

He thinks that what they are planning to do with the head of state in the past seems to be not as important as what the heads of state are doing, right? The other party seems to be fighting with the enemy. Wouldn't it be bad to disturb the other party hastily?

"You're still too naive..."

Doug opened his eyes, and looked at the second lieutenant officer beside him in surprise. Then, the corners of her mouth twitched for a long time before she managed to say something that made the other party confused.

"..."

The officer scratched his head for a while, looking at Doug who continued to close his eyes and was not talking, he didn't quite understand what the other party meant.

"So this is ah……"

After almost half an hour, when Doug's armored transport ship stopped next to Little Anne's spaceship and opened the hatch, the second lieutenant officer who came out finally understood the scene after seeing the scene in the distance. The words Adjutant Doug told him before...

It turned out that in the distance, outside the military tent, that group of marines was happily grilling a huge six-legged starfish on a big fire?

These people... At this stall where everyone is busy with construction, they not only go out lazily and form a group, but also play tricks of hunting and barbecue, and also recruit two military ghost fighter planes to help them drive away their prey? !

So, where is the anonymous complaint box for complaints against the Supreme Head of State? He thinks that he seems to be able to write an anonymous complaint letter of tens of thousands of words with his left hand?

"..."

Doug, who had been prepared for a long time, glanced at the stunned second lieutenant beside him, and walked forward with some documents in a funny way.

"Oh! Aunt Doug! I've said it many times, don't bother me with anything, or something not very important!"

Sitting on the military map table, little Annie, wearing silver casual clothes and dangling two light military boots, is commanding Galen and the marines to brush the delicious spices and various barbecues on the prey they just killed. Special powder seasoning.

Then, when she saw Doug holding a file terminal walking down from the armored transport spaceship that flew over, her little face quickly collapsed.

It's so boring!

This Aunt Doug knows how to ask her to sign or authorize some trivial matters in her opinion all day long, and she is so annoying!

Things like building a capital, building a space station, building a military port, where is it important for her to play happily?

Wouldn't they discuss it by themselves? !

There is also the matter of persuading the lady with glasses and her Agrilians to join the Federation of Heroes, and she is required to attend those meetings and negotiations all day long, which is so annoying!

In her opinion, where do these things need to be so troublesome?

Wouldn't it be good to directly drive the battleship to the opponent's continent, aim the guns at their colony gathering place, threaten them, and at the same time directly order them to surrender? Do you still need to negotiate all day?

When she thought of the representatives of both parties staying in the smoky meeting room all day long, listing out the treaties one by one, and the people on both sides arguing for such a small matter for a long time, she felt bursts of anger!

"Yes, I understand! However, these documents still need your authorization!"

Doug handed over the instrument in his hand angrily, and after opening the files on it, he motioned for little Annie to use her authority to authorize.

She already knew this little girl's temperament very well.

In her eyes, as long as it is something that is not of interest, no matter how big or important it is, in her eyes, it is a trivial matter that is dispensable!

Just like now, as the supreme head of the Federation of Heroes, there are usually only two days of rest every week, and today is still a working day, but... she is also forcibly changed by her in the name of going out for practice. It's a day off...

But now? Not only does this little girl not work, she doesn't bring office equipment, but she just drags Galen and Darius' group of marines to this grassland to hold a barbecue meeting?

This is a drill? Exercise what? hunt? !

Not only did Galen and the others wear civilian clothes and risk being attacked by wild animals, go hunting in the lush tropical grassland, but even dispatched two wraith fighters privately to drive them away from their prey?

Look, they've made a mess here. They've eaten a lot of wild animals these days, right? !

Thinking about the luxury ocean yacht with the anti-gravity flight capability ordered by the head of state in the heavy factory, she, Doug, can already imagine the other party's future life on the planet Haven...

It's nothing more than hunting in the mountains or fishing in the sea, right? I hope they don't eat any poisonous animals! After all, Haiwenxing's collection of animals and plants, establishment of archives and epidemic prevention work have just begun.

"oh……"

After reluctantly taking over the instrument, little Annie held a roasted animal hind leg that Galen had just handed over in her mouth, and opened the files with her oily little hands, without even looking at them, and quickly counted them. Swipe across ten documents.

It may take others a day to read the completed workload, but she just turned it into a boring clicker game, and completed it in less than ten seconds.

"Okay, you can take it now!"

After finishing, little Annie threw the equipment into the opponent's arms, and hurried to the side of the barbecue grill. On it, the huge star Heven star specialty, the six-legged predator, was being killed on it. After peeling and cramping, it is baked, and it is constantly emitting attractive oil and fragrance.

Today, they hunted a lot of prey, big and small, to ensure that everyone can eat enough!

"..."

Looking at the most important power device of the Federation that became full of grease in his arms, Doug could only roll his eyes helplessly, then he took out a handkerchief to wipe it and carefully put it away, then took out another instrument.

"Huh? Are you still leaving? Is there anything else?"

Little Annie, who just cut off a slightly smaller front leg from the body of the six-legged creature, turned around and saw that Aunt Doug hadn't left yet, she couldn't help asking curiously.

Could it be that they also want to join this barbecue meeting of theirs?

But... she, Doug, has always been very disgusted. Even Galen and Darius have been reprimanded by her several times!

"One more thing, we need you to record a declaration of the founding of our Federation of Heroes. In a month's time, when our capital city is about to be established, it will be released to the entire Koprulu sector!"

After finishing speaking, Doug waved the staff in the transport ship to move out a set of holographic imaging equipment and once again handed them a draft of the declaration to Head Anne.

"Where is the need for such trouble? Right now, right here, hurry up and record!"

After glancing at the manuscript, Little Annie threw it away with disdain.

Want her to change clothes? Memorize manuscripts? !

She is very proficient in making speeches, so where is the trouble? Must simplify and save cost! In this difficult time, when they just started building on this planet, no one can just waste manpower and material resources casually, that's right, that's it!

Then, she just grabbed the front leg of the roasted animal that had just passed the test with one hand, and her little bear Tibbers was pinned to her waist, while pulling the steaming piece of meat with the other hand, she stood straight. Arriving in front of the camera equipment, while swallowing the delicious food, he signaled the dumbfounded TV crews to start working.

"Your Excellency, is it not good for you to be like this?"

After seeing Little Annie's outfit and the things in her hands, a female reporter asked a question uncertainly, and then looked at the silent head of state adjutant as if asking for help.

""

However, what disappointed her was that Doug didn't say anything after he just glanced at her.
