Chapter 244: Brush up your achievements! Acting Governor! Assessment is over! Expedition!
On Reach, in the operations base located in the primeval forest, two Storm Eagle gunships have slowly taken off.

After switching to stealth mode, the flight formation disappeared from the detection range of radar and monitoring devices.

Ever since Reed kidnapped Dr. Halsey and left Reach, Jack Wells, who stayed on Reach, continued to lead the remaining troops, lurking here, waiting for follow-up orders.

And now, they have received new instructions from headquarters!

Inside the engine room of the Storm Eagle gunship.

【Attention all personnel! 】

At this time, Morgan Blackhand, who was far away at the Harvest Star headquarters, was giving orders to the members of the ace advance team in front of him through the superluminal communication equipment:
[Now I ask you to go to New Alexandria and capture all the terminal devices of the intelligent AI Shiver there. This is a serious matter and must be resolved quickly. ]

[Once you are caught in a stalemate, you will be isolated and helpless, but this is our only chance, so don't miss it. ]

【Are you ready? 】

The three elements of time, place and people are all in place, and all that remains to be done is to carry out the mission. This is the consistent style of the ace advance team.

"Yes!"

After receiving a definite response, Morgan Blackhand simply replied to these warriors: "I wish you all good luck in fighting."

Immediately, the holographic screen disappeared, and the entire cabin returned to calm.

Jack Wells, who was sitting near the cockpit, continued to check the task list and various action indicator information through the screen of the tactical helmet.

The content of their action this time is to go to the Olympic Tower, the headquarters of ONI in New Alexandria, and take control of the intelligent AI Sifer while the enemy's internal strength is weak!

At present, the entire military force of Reach has been mobilized, and a large number of armed forces are on the ground and carefully searching the star field for passing airships and suspicious personnel.

The only difference is that the military defense near the Olympic Tower is extremely weak, and this gives Jack and others an opportunity to take advantage of!

However, the person who led this raid was not Morgan Blackhand, but Dr. Catherine Halsey, who had just surrendered to the Universal Corporation!
It turns out that not long ago, Halsey, who was kidnapped to the Infinity aircraft carrier, had chosen to join the giant enterprise and become a part of it.

There was no clichéd and procrastinating persuasion process. After the basic information of the giant company and the salary offered by the new boss were made clear, Halsey did not bargain in a pretentious manner, but nodded and agreed immediately.

That's true. Nowadays, there are very few loyal retainers like Goro Takemura, who only stay in the Arasaka department as an operations manager for their entire lives and never think of joining the Ace Vanguard Team.

The Research and Development Department of a global giant company is the only department among many departments that can go hand in hand with the Marketing Development Department. It is the department that actually enjoys the right to use a giant structure!
[Science Hub] The megastructure is the core working area of ​​the Research Department.

As corporate slaves who also work 996 for their bosses, giant companies can provide them with top-notch offices, experimental equipment and facilities, as well as independent experimental projects.

The commissions are generous, food and accommodation are provided, there are a lot of social benefits, and there is an opportunity to get close to the core management.

What are you waiting for if you don't change jobs now?

The UNSC is led by a bunch of stingy old guys who are complaining about having a few children. Isn't it difficult to approve more money to start a cloning project first!
After becoming a new member of the global giant enterprise, the first token of loyalty that Halsey offered to Leon was to plan this raid.

She marked out all the confidential data and information stored in the Olympic Tower, as well as the location of the terminal of the intelligent AI Schiffer.

Although it is a bit immoral to stab the old employer in the back, but in front of the word "progress", what is the UNSC?

Not long after, the two Storm Eagle gunships, carrying fifty Astartes warriors, flew over the sky of New Alexandria.

As the ground headquarters of the UNSC, the Olympic Tower's external defense system is actually quite complete.

In addition to agents disguised as passers-by and vendors, there is also a group of fully armed UNSC special forces who control the commanding heights in various places.

But this is just the conventional armed force. Most of the armored force members have already been sent out, so the guarding force here is a little weaker than usual.

However, neither the UNSC senior officials nor the residents here believe that the rebels will launch a raid on the Olympic Tower. After all, there are a lot of monitoring equipment here.

Once a suspicious person is captured by the intelligent AI, he will be locked down immediately, and then shot dead by a nearby sniper!
However, before Jack entered the city of New Alexandria, he had someone use the same old trick again and used the ICE intrusion protocol to block the intelligent AI Schiffer.

This time it can only be blocked for 10 minutes, but this time is enough for them to force their way into the Olympic Tower!
Bang——! !

As two micro-guided shells were fired, two hideous holes appeared on the outer shell of the tower in an instant. The Astartes warriors used this as a landing point and quickly broke into the tower.

boom!
Boom! !
Without any mercy, the Astartes warriors would immediately shoot and smash to pieces any soldier in combat uniform who stood in their way.

As for the panicked ordinary employees, they simply ignored them and went straight to the target location.

It was not until three minutes after Jack Wells led his team into the Olympic Tower that the intelligent AI Schiffer broke through the ICE shield and issued a series of alarms and requests for support.

However, the Astartes warriors, who were charging left and right, had already reached the core area of ​​the Olympic Tower and destroyed the riot-proof wall made of alloy.

They immediately packed up all the data and information inside and took away, including the terminal device of the intelligent AI Schiffer.

The entire raid was completed in less than 20 minutes, just as Halsey expected, as the Storm Hawk gunboat left New Alexandria.

The UNSC main force that arrived late saw only a panicked crowd, a devastated core secret room, and an empty terminal room.

They couldn't believe that this rebel army was so brutal. 30 hours after kidnapping Dr. Halsey, they dared to come and kidnap the intelligent AI Sifer!

This is no different than shitting on the UNSC's head.

However, no matter how angry and panicked the UNSC was, it could not change the fact that they had been infiltrated like a sieve by the combat forces of the giant corporation.

As soon as the intelligent AI Schiffer was kidnapped, he was forcibly connected to the Matrix program and became a part of the giant enterprise.

Just when Jack's Reach mission was perfectly accomplished, the expeditionary fleet far away on Harvest also officially set out at the same time!
A fleet consisting of the Long Night as the flagship, three Infinity-class aircraft carriers, 12 RCS-class armored cruisers, and 20 Hyperion-class battleships has started space jump.

The participants in this battle are also quite luxurious. Morgan Blackhand is the commander-in-chief, and the members under David are the advance team. Li De and a group of elite soldiers were also transferred from the ace advance team.

At this moment, in the hyperspace channel that distorts time and space, this expeditionary fleet quickly rushed to Shield World 0459, hundreds of light years away.

In the hyperspace emitting bursts of colorful light and distorted lines, this huge fleet is moving forward steadily without encountering any waves or shocks.

Inside the ship, in the training ground area, thousands of Astartes warriors were participating in daily training.

The voyage will take more than a month, although each ship is equipped with a cryostat for long interstellar expeditions so as not to waste the soldiers' time.

And reduce the consumption of materials on the ship.

But for the warriors of the Iron Hands Astartes Chapter, they are really not used to entering hibernation in the cryochamber.

After all, after the transplantation of the ganglion organs, these soldiers no longer needed long periods of sleep to restore their tired bodies and replenish their energy.

At this time, Halsey, who was standing in the high-level corridor and watching the Astartes warriors training, was recording some information thoughtfully.

These strong and powerful Astartes warriors with exaggerated physiques may provide some inspiration for her next Spartan warrior transformation project.

Just as Leon imagined, the clever Katherine Halsey also realized that although the Astartes warriors were powerful, their tall stature was too conspicuous among the crowd.

If the enemy's vigilance was any stricter, it would be impossible to complete the stealth assassination mission.

Confront head-on and break through with force.

These Astartes warriors are good at what they do, but when it comes to silent assassinations, they probably need a new type of genetic warrior that is smaller in size but of similar strength.

'It seems I have to start preparing for the Spartan transformation project as soon as possible.'

Halsey was secretly certain in her heart.

This Orion II project, which was originally supposed to be provided to the UNSC, was now presented by Halsey to the Universal Corporation as a token of his allegiance.

She did not feel the slightest bit of shame or discomfort about this. After all, if this project was given to the UNSC, Halsey would not get more than what the giant corporation gave her.

Good things belong to those who are capable.

The Spartans were used by the UNSC to suppress rebellions in the colonies, essentially to resolve civil wars and kill overwhelmed civilians.

Here in the UNSC, Spartans are executioners.

But on the side of the World Corporation, these warriors can become warriors who conquer the universe. They fight for honor and for human civilization. As the creator of the Spartan warriors, Halsey has the right to choose a brighter future for these warriors.

But now, Catherine Halsey is on the Long Night, working with Nicolo on the creation of the Scorpion Virus, and conducting research and development of intelligent AI with Ott.

After all, the biotechnology department of the giant company still needs to keep a backbone at the headquarters, so Francis was left behind, while Nicolo went to the Shield World with Halsey.

After this operation is completed, Halsey will be able to officially establish his own research department and devote himself to the development of Spartan warrior transformation technology.

It has to be said that Halsey was quite excited to be able to stay in the Global Corporation and work for this powerful civilization.

In addition to having more outstanding colleagues and more professional technological equipment, the biotechnology of the world's giant companies is also quite advanced.

There are so many eye-catching sample data in the gene bank of the pioneer civilization in "Pacific Rim".

Halsey could even use the genes of these alien civilizations to create more stable "extra organs" and reduce the manufacturing cost of Spartan-II warriors.

This is a bit similar to the genetic organ transplantation of Astartes warriors. As long as it can be stable and reliable, this batch of Spartan warriors will have the opportunity to achieve "mass production"!
In short, Halsey wants to reduce the manufacturing cost of Spartan warriors!

Just as Katherine Halsey was lost in thought, fantasizing about a bright future, the commander of the expedition, Morgan Blackhand, came to her side.

"Dr. Halsey, I hope you can get used to working on a ship as soon as possible."

Morgan put his hands behind his back and looked at the young new employee with a smile on his face. "It's hard for you to follow us, a group of grown men, on this expedition. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask."

"No, the working environment here is very good. I don't have any difficulty adapting to it."

Halsey smiled, going on the expedition with Morgan Blackhand was not an act of hardship, but a good job specially arranged by her boss Leon to gain "merit"!

Simply put, Halsey came here to "gild her reputation" so that Leon could directly promote her and set up a Spartan R&D department for Halsey.

Every arrangement made by the leader has its own purpose. Even if it seems redundant, as long as you think about it carefully, you can realize the extraordinary "place".

If company employees want to be promoted by winning the support of others, they often need those seemingly "glamorous" and "false" records of achievements and work accomplishments.

No matter how much water there is in it, as long as it can impress people when it is displayed, it’s fine!
This is the same reason why Zhuge Liang sent Ma Su to guard Jieting. In essence, it was just to gain military merit for his own people and facilitate their promotion.

As long as Halsey doesn't do anything stupid, he will basically be promoted to department head.

The global giant company has been developing for nearly forty or fifty years, and there are quite a lot of factions inside it. New and old employees are in different departments and hold different positions.

But no matter whether you are a newcomer or an old one, performance and qualifications always come first!
You know, V is not a veteran employee in the world's giant companies. He became an employee of the giant companies halfway through his career and relied on his talent and ability to get to the position of head of the development department.

There is even hope that he will become the first interstellar governor of the universe giant company!

It is because his achievements and qualifications are convincing enough, even David Martinez is the same, he has a formal record of participating in various battles.

That's why he can lead an advance team of the universe alone and enjoy similar treatment to V more than ten years ago.

Therefore, as long as you have outstanding abilities, you can demonstrate your unique value in front of your leaders.

Even if the person is a "newcomer" with little qualifications, the leader will find ways to help him/her improve his/her performance and achieve brilliant results.

"Dr. Halsey, this combat mission is not difficult for us. Just stay in the laboratory and complete your work."

"I promise that your life will not be in any danger."

Like Leon, Morgan Blackhand has always valued his own talented employees.

"Okay, Chief Morgan. I'll trouble you with everything."

Halsey smiled and said that since her boss Leon had given her this opportunity, she must of course seize it.

After taking a look at the hyperspace scene outside the porthole, Halsey took a small built-in rail train back to the experimental center at the front of the ship to continue assisting Nicolo in completing the research and development of the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus.

……

At this moment, in the private office of the Wanjie Base Headquarters, Leon, who had just finished his personal affairs, was wearing loose pajamas, drinking cold coffee handed to him by Lucy, and having a video call with V.

[Boss, after more than a month of violent suppression, the situation in Latuwu has stabilized.] V's voice echoed in the office.

Since V led his troops to the Latuwu galaxy, he immediately carried out a series of sanctions against the local area in accordance with the established counterinsurgency plan.

However, some unexpected situations occurred during this period.

For example, the collusion between the Latu rebels and other members of the world trade circle.

It turns out that there are more than one or two civilizations that are disloyal. Some members of the trade circle specifically provoke and instigate rebellions on the planets of other trade members.

In this way, they can take advantage of the opportunity to control the internal affairs of other civilized forces.

To put it simply, there is a group of traitors who are poaching employees from the world's largest companies, trying to develop downstream customers and set up their own business!

In response to this, V followed the clues and found the group of powerful high-ranking officials. He escorted them and the rebels to the Ideal City together to be judged by the giant company.

"well done."

With V's full report, Leon has fully understood the Latu rebellion.

It must be said that V's political vision and strong approach, as well as his low-key and humble attitude while carrying out the counterinsurgency mission, really surprised Le Ang.

Before this, Li Ang's expectation for V was limited to completing a simple counterinsurgency mission, which was nothing more than adding a tiny amount to his credit.

But what Li Ang didn't expect was that V was able to dig out all the masterminds behind the incident!
With such hardcore business capabilities and long-term vision, V is a perfect fit to be the acting interstellar governor.

You know, the place where the rebellion took place this time is not just the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe where V is.

In the 001 "Underworld" and 002 "Pacific Rim" universes, some small and medium-sized rebellion incidents also occurred.

Although these incidents were all suppressed and resolved, the reports given by Mann and Johnny Silverhand were not as serious and detailed as those given by V.

Obviously, these two people are totally not cut out for this!
After passing the assessment of acting governor, Mann can only be a personal bodyguard at most. Then Le Ang can arrange for him to be the head of the imperial guards.

From now on, just follow me obediently and be a personal bodyguard like "Xu Chu".

As for Johnny Silverhand, this guy is good at boasting and talking nonsense. He is not bad as a lecturer, but he is really not good at politics.

It is the type that gets negative points in both theory and practice.

It would be more suitable to let Arasaka Yorinobu be the interstellar governor than this guy.

Therefore, Johnny Silverhand's position in the future will only be the adjutant of the Ace Advance Team, which is almost the third in command.

And V can be summed up in just four words - unlimited future!
However, he still needs more training and tests. The journey from a warrior to an executor is quite long.

After listening to V's entire report, Li Ang nodded calmly and continued to give him new instructions:

"You will continue to serve as the interstellar governor of Universe 003 and be in charge of all matters concerning the interstellar trade. We will make further decisions after Universe 004 stabilizes."

[Yes, boss.]

Many members of the giant company are envious of the throne of the interstellar governor, but V is not very interested in it.

He was very clear that such an important position would not be easily handed over to anyone by Leon. Even if he was to be the interstellar governor, he could only do it for a short period of time.

It's impossible to continue in this position forever.

In this case, just do your job honestly. As for rewards and awards, those are the boss's business.

It was not his turn to speak.

If someone really tries to use Star Governor as a springboard to become independent from the Cosmos Corporation, V can be 100% sure that no one can defeat Leon!
