From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 281 "Secondary Use" Mombasa

"Details of the operation to capture UNSC senior officials"
Sui Yang clicked on the document compiled by Apu, took a quick look, and learned about the "kidnapping" incident that took place in the "Halo" solar system.

Although Sui Yang was a little surprised by this, it was generally within his expectations.

The Investigation Department has its own set of procedures when performing its tasks, and Sui Yang also gives the Investigation Department relatively free rein to act and make decisions.

For example, when Leon, Mike and Maggie were unfortunately involved in the hijacking of the Neptune, they took the initiative to change their original mission objectives and asked for assistance from the company.

Sui Yang's instructions to Aida were to cause as much chaos as possible among the UNSC's top brass and to undermine the credibility of the UNSC and UEG.

As for how to do it, it is up to Ada to arrange it.

Because at this stage, Sui Yang needs to focus on consolidating the alliance between humans and elites, and seize as many galaxies and resources as possible before next year.

If the UNSC and the rebels choose to "declare war" on Atlas, even though Sui Yang does not want too many casualties among his fellow humans, he will still allocate additional military forces to provide absolute military assistance to the Investigation Department.

The suppression of freedom and liberation is a typical example.

If the conflict continues to escalate, then Corax and Mortarion will lead some young Astartes directly to the Eridana system.

However, with the help of Cortana, Aida actually got in touch with the soft rebels and used the smuggling channels that the other party had operated for more than ten years to transfer a large amount of individual equipment and weapons and ammunition to the rebels.
Even the Ark's transmission components, as well as related engineering personnel and more elite investigators, were sent to the investigation branch lurking on Earth.

Of course, one of the conditions for cooperation with the moderates is to provide them with weapons support and resource subsidies.

Sui Yang knew this.

After all, if Ada really wanted to reach a cooperation, she would definitely inform him as the owner of the company.

Sui Yang naturally signed his name on the proposal and stamped the electronic seal of "approval".

After that, Atlas sold the modular firearms and obsolete mechanical skeletons in the warehouse to the other party at a "low price".

And provide the other party with a large amount of necessary resources so that their living environment can be improved.

No matter which universe, as long as there is a business to be done, Atlas will usually not refuse, unless the other party is an alien that cannot communicate, or a group with anti-human ideas.

Later, Ada obtained important information from investigators that the top leaders of UNSC and ONI were going to hold a meeting in Sydney, so she began to make corresponding arrangements.

The first step was to order two special operations teams to quickly infiltrate the civilian space station and secretly seize actual control of the freighter.

At the same time, Aida ordered Soldier Boy to put pressure on Sydney Headquarters, forcing the UNSC and ONI senior officials to flee.

It was this step of the top management's decision to flee the scene that allowed the Chinese people on standby above Sydney to seize the opportunity and complete the key to all plans.

Among them, the Chief of Naval Operations Conrad Volkov and the Director of ONI Margaret Parangoski are figures that Sui Yang is more familiar with.

Volkov's position is equivalent to that of a Grand Admiral of the Navy. In theory, he is the most powerful general in the UNSC. He is also the "father-in-law" of Preston Cole, another legendary figure in the Halo universe.

Volkov's daughter got pregnant before marriage, and the man was not favored by Volkov, so he made Cole, who was excellent in all aspects, his legal son-in-law.

At the same time, this operation also prevented Volkov's family from being caught up in a public opinion storm and avoided the outbreak of more scandals.

But he never cared about Cole who was "forced to take over" throughout the whole process.

Margaret Parangoski
Sui Yang frowned slightly.

In high school before the time travel, he had looked up information about the ONI director.

Born on the Moon in 2461, he joined the UNSC Navy at around 22 years old.

When ONI gradually fell out of favor due to the escalating rebellion and no one was willing to take over, Margaret volunteered to deal with the Agate planet where the rebellion was most serious.

Eventually, Onyx was classified as a top secret file by ONI.

No one is allowed to view it at will, and all information about Agate Star, including reports, surveys, notes, images, etc., has been completely cleaned up by the military-grade intelligent AI and completely disappeared from the Internet.

Thinking from another perspective, Agate Star may have been suppressed by tough military means, and all rebels and even all colonists were executed.

Until the Human-Covenant War, accessing the Onyx archives without permission was still punishable by death.

During her tenure as director of ONI, she used kidnapping, assassination, poisoning, sterilization, and any means necessary to ensure the stability of the UNSC and secure her own political status.

According to some UNSC generals, "She is the most dangerous and terrifying person in the UNSC, no doubt about it."

The only person who had a head-on conflict with him and successfully survived was Katherine Elizabeth Halsey.

Despite this, Margaret approved the launch of the SPARTAN-II program and sent ONI agents to kidnap 75 children.

The purpose of creating Sparta III was to change from "suppressing the rebellion" in Sparta II to "trading life for time."

Because the UNSC is almost helpless in the face of the Covenant, which has absolute advantages in technology and scale, Margaret believes that using the lives of a few men and women to save an entire colony or to gain more time and space for the overall situation is a very cost-effective "deal."

In general, although Margaret was cruel and ruthless, it was precisely her and ONI's various immoral actions, coupled with the UNSC's frontal battlefield, that allowed humanity to survive until the rebellion of the elites.

"."

Sui Yang raised his hand, pinched his chin lightly and fell into thought.

In the current timeline, Margaret, ONI, and the captured UNSC senior officials all have more or less stains.

But that group of people are all practical people, and they are not at all on the same level as the corrupt officials exposed by the Investigation Department on the Internet.

So he planned to "re-use" it.

After all, with the rapid expansion of Atlas, talent reserves must also keep up.

Margaret's areas of expertise are well suited to the Investigations and Regulation departments, as well as the Grey Judges against warp threats.

People like Volkov and a group of generals have rich combat experience, especially in orbital seizure, landing and interstellar naval warfare.

You should know that the Orbital Commando he formed was modeled after the UNSC's ODST, and the UNSC's ODST has a history of more than 300 years.

As for how to make the other party "willingly" become one's own employee.
"Notify the investigation department." Sui Yang glanced at A Pu and ordered:

"Have them use the captives to convey some brief information to the UNSC and the local humans, and then send the captives to our region. I will personally be in charge of the interrogation."

"Okay, boss." Apu nodded in agreement.

What Sui Yang meant by "personal interrogation" was that he was going to let Alexia and Halsey assist him, and then he would release his psychic energy to carry out the [transformation].

Although the psychic power to manipulate people's minds will damage the mental health of the person being manipulated, this is the safest solution if you want to make the best use of the "thing" and ensure the other party's loyalty.

As for Sui Yang's spiritual illumination of the elite race, it only planted a psychological suggestion of "loyalty" in the subconscious of that group of fighting people, and it had no side effects on their mental and physical health.

Of course, psychic power is not omnipotent. The elites and humans in the Halo universe have basically no talent in psychic power, so they cannot compete with him.

If it is a subspace creature like Moido, or a heretic who believes in evil gods, it will have an "immune" effect.

Even for his own sons, he could only use practical actions and verbal education to guide them to correct values ​​and avoid hidden dangers.

"That's right." At this time, Sui Yang seemed to sense something and said to A Pu:

“Inform Corax and Mortarion to select two hundred young Astartes from the accompanying cadets and have them board the friendly ship Warrior’s Sorrow and head to the Eridana system to wait for orders.

If necessary, you can follow the instructions of the Investigation Department first."

"Yes, boss." Apu responded again in a calm voice.

The reason why Sui Yang made such arrangements was that he always felt that the subspace had already invisibly eroded the area of ​​near-Earth colonies in the Halo universe.

The Gray Judges, composed of Greek gods and elite soldiers, would most likely not be able to fight against them alone, so a Primarch must be responsible for "holding the scene".

And the "friendly forces" and "Warrior's Sorrow" that Sui Yang mentioned are actually a CCS-class battlecruiser commanded by an elite captain.

Corax and Mortarion grew up together and worked well together.

The two Primarchs, plus two hundred young Astartes, and the elite combat force of an entire cruiser are enough to deal with most emergencies.

Finally, Perturabo arrived alone.
For the time being, the Elf Queen Tinas is still responsible for taking care of the daily life.

Fortunately, Alexia, who was concentrating on studying the Monk of Bias with Halsey, prepared sufficient nutrients in advance to ensure that the young Primarch could obtain the necessary calories and nutrition.

Besides, Perturabo was just one month old. Even if he had self-awareness, he was in the relatively safe New Era aircraft carrier, so his development speed was relatively slow.

After he was able to run and jump, Sui Yang prepared to let his youngest son come into contact with Fulgrim, Angron and Riemann.

After collecting his thoughts and dealing with important matters, he refocused his energy on the current battle for colonies.

4 month 18 day.

New Mombasa, East Africa, Earth, Halo Universe;

The city of New Mombasa did not come to a standstill due to the attack on the UNSC headquarters, and everything was running as usual.

It is now evening and residents, who have finished a day's work, are traveling around the city.

The public transportation system is close to being full, and vehicles on the streets are subject to daily congestion.

It could be the lack of room-temperature superconducting materials, mature condensed matter technology, or simply a cost issue that leads to the scarcity of civilian flying craft in the Halo universe.

The orbital elevator that can reach the sky has become a landmark building in New Mombasa.

The commercial street where the new and old urban areas meet is even more lively.

Although it is called a commercial street, the lights of the shop signs here are mostly red, pink, and there are even holographic figures with graceful figures.

All signs indicate that this seems to be a "red-light street".

As it gets darker, business gets busier.

The people under UEG rule, especially those living on Earth, are indeed much wealthier than those in other colonies.

There is also much more pressure to face.

The consumption of housing, food, etc. is several times that of the colonies, and the wealth is the average value.

If we look at the middle, the disposable wealth of the Earth's residents may be less than that of the colonists far away from the border.

In order to continue to stimulate consumption, the UEG government secretly regulates conflicts in faith, gender, politics, etc., resulting in residents of Earth and near-Earth colonies suffering from inflation and ever-increasing housing and car prices.

Therefore, places like red-light districts have become places where residents can release their emotions.

Walking through the junction of the old and new towns of Mombasa, you can see heavily made-up women, men, and even androgynous transvestites standing in front of their respective shops, trying hard to attract customers.

The bars, nightclubs and restaurants located near these stores are also doing booming business.

However, in order to reduce the number of police calls from the New Mombasa Police Station, there are still a large number of gangsters here who are responsible for maintaining the normal order.

Those guys who were drunk and dared to take advantage of the gigolos and prostitutes would be beaten up by the thugs until they were half dead and thrown out into the street.

now.

A bearded man wearing a desert-colored long-sleeved shirt and black overalls was walking on this red-light street.

"Ouch!"

Seeing the muscular man who was a size larger than an average person, the bikini girl standing at the door of the sex shop quickly threw him a wink and whispered:
"Hardcore, do you want to play with me? It only takes 20 credits and you can experience the feeling of flying."

"."

Hearing this, the sturdy man just waved his hand to refuse and didn't say anything more.

"Oh~." The girl pretended to be regretful and continued to attract other potential customers.

In fact, the burly man walking towards a restaurant was Chris Redfield, the senior team leader of the special operations team of the Investigation Department.

He and the three special operations teams he led did not participate in the "kidnapping" operation a few days ago, but continued to carry out the original "anti-corruption" mission to increase public support for the company.

Walk into the restaurant;

"Three portions of ugali with roti, six samosas, and a glass of room temperature water."

Chris sat down near the door with ease and placed his order with the waiter who came towards him.

"Ok sir."

The waiter used the tablet computer in his hand to inform the kitchen of the required quantities of barbecue and snacks, and then handed Chris a glass of room temperature water.

"Thanks."

Chris took the water and expressed his gratitude as usual, then observed every move of the brothel opposite through the automatic sensor glass door.

Because the ultimate target of their operation this time is the police chief, Kinsler, who is regarded as a "bastard" and "scumbag" by the people of New Mombasa.

The person Chris is looking for is a police inspector who knows the trajectory of Kinsler's life.
