Chapter 270: The Streets Are Full of Nobles! Raid on UNSC Headquarters!
After her words fell, Margaret called up more scientific research information about Ai Qiumin's era and presented the content to everyone for viewing.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the interstellar colonization era in "Halo", humans, like the Covenant, embarked on a journey to study and find the Forerunner relics.
However, due to the late start, insufficient amount of surveyed ruins, and insufficient comprehensive technology, they could only find traces of the Forerunner civilization and the Ai Qiumin era in a small amount of literature.
For example, the ranks of the Forerunner civilization are the information currently controlled by ONI.
In the Forerunner civilization, the highest-status group is naturally the architects responsible for building large-scale facilities and designing projects.
Next are the adventurers and collectors who survey the planet and explore the universe.
The creators responsible for political management, parliamentary supervision, and life sowing belong to the third-level group, and the seeds of the world are created by them.
Next came the martial attendants, that is, soldiers, and the judges who were responsible for legal provisions and recording historical materials.
Until the end, there are the larvae of the Forerunners, which are considered children among the Forerunners. They are collectively called apprentices.
Human beings have a relatively clear understanding of the hierarchy in Ai Qiumin's era, but they do not yet have the ability to conduct reverse technology research and excavate and manufacture Forerunner weapons and equipment.
"So, the giant companies in the world went to Arcadia just for these relics from the Ai Qiumin era. Do they know the clues to these relics?!"
At this moment, Andrew seemed to realize the truth of the matter. Combined with the information actively leaked by the giant companies in the world, the information about the Star Alliance war and the Forerunners, maybe it was really something like that.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Margaret did not deny Andrew's speculation, "In short, the previous ONI did not disclose it to everyone out of confidentiality needs."
"Now I will show you all the top secret information of ONI, including the attack analysis report of Arcadia Research Institute!"
Having said this, Margaret enlarged the previous surveillance video footage, as well as the comparison chart of the facilities after the incident, and the analysis report.
Before encountering the attack by the Astartes warriors, the institute's defenses were almost impeccable. The strict guard patrol members were all elite soldiers of the UNSC.
However, due to the lack of surveillance video, they were unable to understand the entire process of the attack.
All that is known is that when the attack occurred, the automatic turrets and fire sentries of the institute were all blocked, and all the soldiers responsible for guarding a certain area were killed.
The cause of their death was relatively single, all caused by a fatal blow to the neck that was extremely twisted and the spine was broken.
Based on the above situation, as well as the analysis of traces of footsteps and downed branches captured on site, the analysis report given by ONI headquarters is -
[This enemy team has about 10 members, and they are all over 3 meters tall. A few members are close to 4 meters tall! 】
[The enemy has extremely advanced network intrusion technology, which can burn the lines of automatic turrets and block monitoring equipment. 】
[The strength of this enemy is extremely exaggerated. It can easily break the bones of a strong man, and its reaction speed is very fast. 】
…
After such an analysis report, all the UNSC executives present showed surprised looks and started whispering among themselves.
This information is basically consistent with the content promoted by the giant companies in the world, especially the descriptions of the Astartes warriors.
From this point of view, there is a high probability that this human civilization from the parallel universe really exists!
Margaret then continued to play a video, which was a 3D demonstration animation reverse-engineered by technicians.
This made the UNSC executives present more clearly aware of the almost terrifying combat capabilities of the Astartes warriors.
"The goals of the world's giants are quite clear and clear. They are heading towards the ruins of the forerunners."
Margaret looked at everyone and said:
"From these incidents, what surprises us the most is that agents from global giants seem to have the super-soldier physique that ONI dreams of."
"They are tall, have thick and hard bones, and their movement speed and power burst are far beyond those of normal humans. These are exactly the super soldiers we long for!"
At this moment, General Terrence, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Haha! If I remember correctly, aren't you ONI responsible for the second phase of the Orion project? What, is there any latest progress now?"
It's obvious that Terrence is trying to punish the enemy. The UNSC Navy has specially allocated funds to build such a money-burning project.
In the end, the scientific research doctor who led this plan was kidnapped. This is simply a shame and a great humiliation!
"During the Reach riots, our core researcher, Dr. Kathleen Halsey, was captured by a giant company. This caused the second phase of the project to be suspended and cannot be restarted for the time being."
Margaret spoke calmly about what happened last year.
If the global giant company hadn't exposed Dr. Halsey's current situation on its own, they really wouldn't have known that Halsey had completely surrendered to the giant company's camp at this moment.
"Now that it has happened, no matter how much you regret, it will not help."
Andrew waved his hand and changed the topic. He made a simple summary to everyone and reported on the situation of the giant companies in the world:
"Judging from these clues, every decision and plan of the global giants is quite precise, and their actions are very targeted."
"The ruins of the Forerunners, our Orion Phase II plan, including the Covenant War whose authenticity is unknown, the other party seemed to have a clairvoyance and accomplished all of this in less than two years."
"Now we have fallen too far behind others. It may not be easy to catch up now."
Terrence was a little dissatisfied when he heard Andrew say this. He turned his head and snorted coldly, and said in a strong tone:
"The situation can't be so bad. I guess this so-called global giant is a conspirator who is good at planning scams. These materials may be used as a cover-up for us."
As an admiral who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Terrence knows how well these little tricks of pretending to be real can fool stupid people.
"So what if they have some super soldiers, in the end it's not our naval power that's competing!"
Terrence's words made the senior navy generals present very encouraging, but the next second, Andrew couldn't help but refute his boss:
"What if the scale of the Astartes warriors owned by the world's giant companies reaches tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands?"
"Such powerful super soldiers, with their legion strength, can easily destroy our ground troops."
"Moreover, the giant corporations in the world also have super agents with the same size as normal humans. The main group of people who carry out assassination missions are these elusive agents of the giant corporations!"
Andrew's words once again made all the senior officials at the scene feel a sudden numbness in their scalps. They could not imagine what a terrifying scene it would be to see thousands of Astartes warriors.
Even if the entire planet's defense armies were put together, it wouldn't be enough for them to fight!
"Ha! I really don't believe they can have thousands of Astartes warriors. Even if they do, they have to land. Can they beat our navy?"
Terrence got to the point. In the interstellar age, the prosperity of a civilization can never be separated from the power of sea power. How powerful the navy is means how hard the fist of the civilization is.
Even if the Astartes warriors were physically invincible, they would have to rely on battleships to land on the planet in order to flatten their armies.
Seeing that Terrence seemed to be a little too confident about the situation, Margaret sighed, and then played the last video content, which was the key information brought back by the ONI spy.
Soon, the UNSC executives present saw the naval battle in the low-Earth orbit of Segudus in the Eridanus II system. They saw the dazzling blue light easily piercing through many battleships of the rebels of the Front.
From Robert's cruiser to the small boss's frigate, they were all destroyed by the giant's hard light strikes in less than two minutes.
A large number of warship wreckage fell to the ground in Segudus like meteors.
This is a completely crushing naval battle showdown!
Originally, Margaret wanted to report the news to everyone later. After all, with such heavy news, she was worried that the naval generals would not be able to bear the blow.
But seeing Admiral Terrence's crazy and confident thoughts, Margaret knew that if she didn't say anything, the chairman of the Human Security Council might actually lead the team himself to fight against the giants of the world.
If the top leader of the UNSC Navy is killed in action, there will be big trouble!
Sure enough, after seeing the hard light main gun displayed on the holographic screen and the devastating naval strike, the naval generals at the scene suddenly understood.
The giant companies in the world possess extremely powerful beam weapons. Not only are they unable to defeat others in land battles, but even their largest naval base is no match for the giant companies!
Although the top generals of the UNSC do not know the size and appearance of the warships of the giants of the world, they are very aware of the configuration of the warships of the Front rebels.
After all, most of the warships of the Front rebels are old ships that they procured from the UNSC. After a series of transformations, renovations and reinforcements, their combat effectiveness is actually not bad.
Coupled with the presence of such an excellent commander as Robert Watts, the naval power of the Front rebels is really not bad.
If the UNSC hadn't had Carthage-class and New Era aircraft carriers stationed in the Solar System and the Tianyuan Four Systems, the rebels might have just started their "Northern Expedition".
Therefore, in terms of naval combat capabilities alone, the UNSC may not be able to securely defeat the Front rebels.
However, according to the images shown in the video content, the giants of the world are completely capable of crushing the rebels, which means that the UNSC is also no match for them.
Once they confront each other, their fate will be the same as that of the front rebels!
In an instant, the entire conference room fell into an awkward silence.
In the end, it was Admiral Terrence who took the initiative to break the solemn atmosphere. He looked at Andrew and Margaret in surprise and said:
"If this is the case, then the Front rebels and the rebels from other forces will basically be included in the camp of the giant companies in the world."
"Once we officially start a war with giant companies, I am afraid that many colonies will side with them. By then, we will be attacked everywhere. I am afraid..."
There was no need for Terrence to finish what he said, everyone already knew the situation of the war and what kind of situation it would lead to.
With the fighting power shown by the Universal Corporation and the propaganda war that it has gone to great lengths to create, there will definitely be a lot of people standing on the side of the Corporation.
And the fate of these unpopular high-ranking dignitaries is to be completely liquidated!
"The goal of the Universal Corporation is to unify human civilization, and now they have taken down most of the rebel forces."
After thinking for a moment, Andrew said:
"If we really want to go to war with the Universal Corporation, the casualties of the UNSC will be countless, and neither the Corporation nor us can accept it."
It is obvious that the purpose of Andrew's words is to persuade everyone to negotiate with the Corporation after measuring the disparity in the naval strength of the two sides.
After all, the power of the universe is based on the strength of the interstellar navy.
In the landing battle, the Astartes warriors of the Corporation are all super tough guys, and one person can beat a hundred army soldiers.
In the naval battle, the laser cannon of the Corporation will directly "show up and kill instantly", how can they fight!
They have no hope of victory at all.
However, Andrew did not intend to take the initiative to propose a negotiation and peace. After all, he was just a naval commander, and it was these senior executives who could really make the final decision.
So Andrew could only remind the senior executives in a tactful way.
However, at this moment, Margaret's words poured cold water on the senior executives who were about to propose surrender or peace:
"The purpose of the Universal Corporation's public assassination list is not only to win the support of the people, but also to subvert our original political structure."
"Their real target is us!"
The meaning of Margaret's words couldn't be more obvious.
She was warning the UNSC senior executives present not to think that they could find a way out by surrendering or making peace. Surrendering to the Universal Corporation would at most guarantee that they would not die.
But the fate that awaits them is that they may still be tried and imprisoned, or be dragged out and shot, to vent the anger of the oppressed people.
The Universal Corporation is specifically designed to disintegrate the UNSC's political organization and management system. All the senior executives present will not be able to escape!
As expected, Margaret's warning immediately made the senior executives panic.
What kind of modern version of "The streets are full of nobles" is this!
Not even a chance to surrender? !
Admiral Terrence was also obviously stunned at this moment. If they had to die even if they surrendered, what else could they do?
Could it be that they packed their bags and ran away before the naval forces of the Universe Corporation invaded Reach and the solar system? This is unrealistic!
"Since the ending is destined to be death, let's take the initiative and completely eliminate the agents hiding on Earth. I don't believe that we can't catch these damn scum."
"Even if they are super agents, what can they do? Once they sneak into our territory, without a base for supplies, they are still trapped."
"I don't believe that they can catch us all in one fell swoop after coming all the way here!"
Terrence's words of encouragement in these few games have been nodded in agreement by many UNSC senior executives.
"Yes! That's right. Since they dare to come, we will catch all these bastards and use them as hostages for negotiation."
"Without logistical supplies, their bullets will eventually run out, and then they will still be our prisoners!"
"..."
Just as everyone was about to make a decision to arrest the agents who were purging the Earth first, a piercing alarm sounded unexpectedly.
Boom--! !
Following it was a deafening explosion and intensive gunfire.
Almost instantly, the UNSC senior officials present quickly stood up, quickly came to the French window of the conference room, and looked outside the headquarters.
In the direction of the east gate of the headquarters, the UNSC Marines responsible for guarding the base, as well as many armored teams, all arrived at the battlefield and exchanged fire with unknown forces.
The airships and fighter jets patrolling closely in the air also rushed to the battlefield and carried out continuous machine gun fire towards the target.
Judging from the intensity of the exchange of fire at the scene, this raid was very intense. It was obvious that the attackers were the combat team of the Universal Corporation.
And the target of the attack was the UNSC senior executives who were gathered in the conference room for a meeting!
