StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 83
Now, Augustus is sitting on an Ardian crystal mine.Among the many mines classified according to the degree of mineral richness in the Kelmerian Consortium, the New Apollon mining area can only be regarded as relatively low-level, belonging to the column that has mining value but not high reserves.If the cost of mining is too high, the mining companies in Ke Morian will immediately abandon it.

The high purity of crystals and the newly discovered associated rare metal deposits allowed the mining plan to be approved, and then a small community called New Apollowin appeared near the mining area.Today, with the influx of settlers, gold prospectors and miners' families, the community has a population of nearly 2.

Even so, the income of crystal mines and other associated rare crystal mines produced every 24 hours in the new Apollon mining area far exceeds the standard medium-sized mines held by the Tyrannian federal government.The Kel-Morians value high-purity Ardion crystals in cubic meters rather than the Commonwealth's gram, and their obsession with finding crystal veins is closer to obsession.

In the past few decades, there has been a case where the rich and powerful Kymerian Mining Company legal person has come forward to buy the mineral mining rights of an entire planet of the Tyrann Federation.

At that time, even the strongest and most feared founding family of the Federation, the Tagore family, marveled at the wealth of Moria's mining enterprises, and no longer thought of Moria people as unseen country bumpkins and uncivilized savages .The nobles who danced in the ornately decorated ballroom immediately elevated the status of the Moria people-the nouveau riche who lacked education and did not know etiquette.

However, this is also the fuse of the Kailian battle.The greedy Tyranids don't have the Kel-Morian's intuition and tenacity to forage for minerals, but they just have to make sure they have more and better guns than the Kel-Morians have.

The Kelmerians built their mining empire in dozens or even hundreds of years, but the Tyranid Federation only needed a war of less than four years to collapse it and take all the wealth to itself.

However, Augustus knew that this war only made a small number of people in the federation rich, while most of the common people became poorer than before.

For the independence of Keha IV and the revolutionary cause of his father Angus, it can also show that the revolution of the Keha people is tenable.When the people find that no matter how hard they work, they can't support themselves and their families, the fire of the uprising will sweep the whole world, and more and more people will support Keha.

At this time, the door of the supervisor's office suddenly opened, and Tychus Finley in a loose uniform walked in, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

"This is the new batch of miners applying to work in the mine. Tell me what medicine you gave those Kelmorians?" Tychus sent the documents to Augustus's desk, and he said, "Say Tell me how you got them."

"Less working hours, more bread."

Augustus threw the pen in his hand on the table, put his elbows on the table, and clasped his fingers together against his chin: "I have investigated, and the life of the miners in the Camerian Union and other industries is not as good as the trade union government's propaganda. As good as it is, many people actually don’t have enough to eat. This world is not much better than the Tyrannian Federation, and exploitation and oppression still exist.”

"The inviolable rights of workers to receive reasonable wages, the inviolability of workers' basic social welfare, and the right to freely elect a government are all propaganda on paper."

"The holders of the Mining Guild and representatives of the trade union also said that the Kelmorian Commonwealth is a union of workers, and the working class should dominate the world." He said: "Of course, their workers are indeed more powerful than Tyrannians The situation is better. Before the war, the wages of workers in the Commonwealth were generally two to three times higher than those in the Federation."

"I think this idea is very good, but the government of the consortium just says one thing and does another. You only need to see who established the Kelmorian Consortium. The consortium is Moria Mining The guild and the Kailanis Transport Guild were established, and the legal representatives elected by them are the real power holders. The union is not established by workers, but by entrepreneurs."

"Do you know what that means?"

"You know I don't have time to pay attention to current affairs and politics, worry about national affairs, and worry about whether the system is reasonable or not." Tychus frowned: "Why are you studying these things?"

"Don't tell me that you want to rebel against the nobles. And I remember that your family is the big noble of Keha IV? What is the difference between this and you want to lift up your own little skirt."

"You're asking." Augustus looked at Tychus.

"Well well, what does that mean? My great statesman," said Tychus in a low voice.

"That shows that the trade union is only a means for the real rich in Kelmorian to control the workers. When the conflict between the working class and the upper class cannot be reconciled, the representatives of the trade union will stand up to 'speak for the workers and fight for their interests', and through representatives The president of the company will always reluctantly agree to their arguments.”

"But in fact, the terms of the compromise have already been negotiated in secret." Augustus said: "The trade unions have no right to influence the decision-making of the independent government. They have the right to make proposals, but that's all."

"But it has nothing to do with us, no, I want to live a suave life after making a fortune." Tychus pulled a chair from the side and sat down, burying his buttocks in the soft cushion Li, snorted comfortably.

"The relationship is very important." Augustus took Lisa's coffee, and the latter's writhing waist made Tychus lament Augustus' good luck: "The Kelmorian government is actually not very good. It is popular, so as long as we give better treatment. At least let them eat three meals a day, save the rest of the money, and have hope in life, then they will be willing to work for me."

"Besides, in order to prevent the Kelmorian Federation from continuing to transport personnel and weapons to Meinhof, the interstellar route for imported goods has been cut off by our fleet, and the problem of long-term self-sufficiency in food has been greatly magnified. Jim has been to On a trip to the local market, he saw that the price of food had multiplied and hunger had spread," he said.

"If the residents of the New Apollowan community can't find work, their families will starve to death."

"Mengsk, I never thought you were not a capitalist." Tychus smiled sinisterly: "'Vampire' blood is flowing in your body. But let me say, you are not a real capitalist."

"We'll stay here for a month at most, and you care about them? Kel-Morian is our enemy. Just let them live, as their union government has done to them. .In this way, we can resell much more crystal mines than we have now."

"Anyway, as long as the people of New Apollowan don't want to starve to death, they have to work for us. We don't need to do much better than their original government, and we don't owe the Kel-Morians anything."

"This stone planet that doesn't shit is unlucky enough, but it's also lucky enough, because the war stopped at the moment it was about to spread here."

"Ke Morian is also a human being. We are still enemies now, and we may become friends in the future." Augustus shook his head: "And I..."

"I don't want to see someone starve to death in front of me."

"You're a good man, Mengsk." Tychus sent Augustus a good man card.

"By the way, there is one more thing that I almost forgot. Didn't you say you want to transform that transport plane? The person you want is here."
