StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 38 Resocializing the Soldier
At midnight the next day, Augustus and a group of soldiers climbed up from the sheets and blankets on the ground and assembled at the designated location in Vilino Town.

The gathering place of the five battalions is an open area in the center of the town, which was once used as a market by the locals.The first class of Augustus lined up in three rows and four rows, and stood in the middle of the second and third classes in the third row.

The searchlights in front of the breastplates of all marines have been turned on, and the whole of Valinor is being shrouded in bright light.There is only Warfield's company in this wide area, and the other large open spaces are still empty.

Half an hour later, a group of marines walked into the open field with neat steps and a strict formation as if they were participating in a military parade, stopped opposite Augustus and stood facing him.

Those marines also belonged to the No.30 Third Ground Assault Division. The power armor was painted in the iconic silver-gray color, but there were no badges or numbers on the armor to indicate which unit they belonged to.

The sudden appearance of the troops was equivalent to a battalion. From entering the field to standing in line, there was only the sound of power boots on the mud, showing surprising discipline.

At first, no one in Augustus's army thought there was anything wrong with this army, until a commander walked up to these soldiers at 45:[-] in the morning, shouted his name and rank, and asked the soldiers to fight. Before taking the oath.

As soon as the last word of the order fell, all the soldiers stood at attention at the same time, put down their Gauss rifles on their shoulders, lowered their helmets and began to take the oath.Their movements are uniform and amazingly consistent, as if they are a whole.

"We hereby swear that we have the responsibility to protect the planets and colonies of the Tyranid Federation, and regard it as our inherent mission. We will fight all enemies of the Federation, whether they come from within or from outside."

"We obey all the orders of the commander, as if we obey the arrangement of God. We are the Marine Corps, and we will always be loyal. We will send all the enemies of the Tyrann Federation to hell until it is full of mourning souls."

"We are all going to die, but this is our pursuit. Our sacrifice is for the eternal existence of the Tyrann Federation."

After taking the oath, all the soldiers closed their helmets at the same time, put their rifles back on their shoulders, and there was no verbal communication between them from beginning to end.

"What a bunch of poor people." A platoon leader suddenly said in the commander's channel above the first company squad.

"Resocialized soldiers?" The leader of the second platoon said, "So I remembered. I've heard of them. These people used to be deserters, political prisoners, murderers, or other social dregs."

"These people don't look like criminals. They are more obedient than a group of chickens." The leader of the fourth row had a loud voice.

"Resocialization." Reagan, the leader of the third row, seemed to know more: "In layman's terms, it's what you call brainwashing. There are many ways, such as stuffing criminals into a container filled with chemicals, or directly They cut the brain open, remove some unnecessary parts of the lobe, and add some extra memories to you."

"Then these resocialized soldiers will become walking dead who absolutely obey federal orders. Even if the officer asks these people to jump into the lava lake to take a bath, they will not hesitate at all."

"God, this is a crime against humanity." A squad leader exclaimed.

Although Augustus did not speak, he has been listening carefully.

Since entering boot camp, Augustus has also gradually learned some information about resocialized soldiers.The proportion of re-socialized soldiers in the 33th Brigade is the lowest among the [-]rd Ground Assault Division, so the officers in it are not very familiar with this matter.

In other units, such as the [-]st and [-]nd Brigades, resocialized soldiers accounted for one-fifth of the total number of soldiers.These soldiers were either organized into separate units, or scattered into various squads.

In order to win this war, the Federation has already sent brainwashed soldiers into the battlefield at this time, and is planning to replace ordinary soldiers with independent thinking with resocialized soldiers.

These resocialized soldiers are fearless and fearless.The will and skills to fight are instinctively engraved into their bodies, and it only takes one operation to transform an ordinary person into a killing machine for the federal government.

However, these resocialized soldiers also have a fatal flaw, that is, this kind of transformation actually damages their brains.

While being deprived of their independent personality, they also lost the ability to think and judge independently. They had to be ordered directly by officers who had not been socialized before they knew what they were going to do.

Generally speaking, apart from this defect, the re-social soldiers are absolutely perfect fighters, able to carry out all the orders of the commander to the maximum, and never make mistakes, never fear, and never retreat.

Augustus also knew that after the Battle of Kailian, the proportion of these resocialized soldiers will continue to increase. By the time of the first all-out war between humans and alien races, most of the soldiers in the federal army will be received this modification.

At one o'clock in the morning, Warfield's company set off on time and headed towards the eastern city of Polk's Pride in the silent night, accompanied by four brother companies and two battalions of resocialized soldiers.

On the Augustus HUD display screen, that district is named Dunlin District.Before the fall of Dunlin District, it had the largest maglev vehicle and IAA holographic projector assembly factory on Turasis II. These factories were previously owned by the Tarsonis founding family, the Taira family.

According to the offensive deployment, Warfield's [-]st Company would be one of the first troops to advance towards the city in the center, with two other troops attacking from the left and right flanks.Before setting off, the marines turned off the searchlight on the breastplate according to the order, and switched the mask display screen to night vision and thermal imaging mode.

When approaching the city of Polk's Pride, only 2 miles away from the outermost building, two arc tanks and a team of 12 Goliath armed robots joined Warfield's troops.One of the arc tanks was just ahead of Augustus's squad, and two huge Goliaths trudged to the right.

Since there are two moons in the sky of Turaxis II at all times, the night of this planet is not so dark when the weather is clear.But today's night, the sky of Polk's Pride was covered with dark clouds. With all the federal troops extinguishing their light sources, this army was advancing in darkness that could not be seen.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, when Augustus was able to see the Goddess Lighthouse, the landmark building in Dunlin City of Polk's Pride, with his naked eyes instead of the focusing camera on his helmet, the Kymerian defenders in the city fired their first flares .

Since the space station and satellites of Kelmorian in synchronous orbit have been destroyed by the Federation fleet, even if the Kelmorians already know that a large number of Federation troops are approaching from the rear, they cannot determine the exact time of their attack.

But these Kemerians obviously stayed up all night. When dozens of flares lit up the sky, the intensive artillery fire from the mortar and electromagnetic artillery positions had already covered the first resocialization platoon that rushed up.
