Chapter 262: Prejudiced Monk! Strategy of Concentration! Project Results!
Universal City, headquarters of the base of all worlds.
Leon raised his hand and closed the holographic screen in front of him. Through the images on the screen, he had already understood the entire situation of the Star Alliance civil war.
He also knew that the plan he had carefully laid out had already been largely successful.
At this moment, a week has passed since the civil war broke out in the Star Alliance.
Led by Reed and Jack as recyclers, the entire elite tribe and wild boars fully support the plans of the global giant.
Relying on a careful action plan and powerful military strikes, the battle for the City of Brotherly Love has now entered its final stage.
The capital of the Star Alliance is about to be controlled by Reed and others!
This situation was within Li Ang's expectations.
After all, most of the Covenant’s customs fleet is controlled by the elites. Even if the fleets controlled by the Jiralhanae and the Prophets want to rush to the capital, they do not have the ability to do so for the time being.
The most elite naval forces of the entire Star Alliance are all near the City of High Charity. Even if they dare to break in, they may not be able to defeat these powerful elites.
Therefore, the Jiralhanae and Prophets scattered throughout the Star Alliance territory had to start a new movement, prepare to gather other Star Alliance members, return to the City of High Charity, and take back their own positions.
Without the support of external forces, the fate of the prophets, ghost-faced beasts, and jackals inside the City of High Charity can be imagined. The only end that awaits them is to be eliminated by the elites and Astartes warriors!
As of now, more than 90% of the urban area of the City of Brotherly Love has been controlled by the coalition forces of Morami and Li De.
The remaining 10% of the area is occupied by the ghost-faced beasts and the remnants of the prophets. They rely on the complex terrain to fight a desperate battle with the elites.
In order to avoid causing too much damage to the City of High Charity, Morami could only order the blockade of the area and slowly engage in a war of attrition with these remnants.
In short, these remaining ghost-faced beasts do not affect the overall situation. The power of the universal giant enterprise has already penetrated deeply into the interior of the Star Alliance!
What Leon had to do next was to order the elite troops stationed on Reach and in various UNSC colonies to embark on a series of agitation and action plans.
It's not that Leon dislikes or hates the UNSC. On the contrary, he is quite interested in the grassroots Marines.
Only those high-ranking officials who are extremely corrupt and only think about abusing their power for personal gain are the ones that Li Ang really wants to punish!
Therefore, Leon does not intend to send a large force to forcibly suppress the UNSC soldiers, so as to avoid causing large-scale casualties among humans.
Of course, the best outcome would be to overthrow the UNSC and the system of high-ranking officials at a relatively low cost.
After a moment's thought, Leon immediately called up the holographic screen and sent a brief command to the people deployed at the headquarters of the Reach frontline base.
The core content is two points, namely:
The giant company is about to secretly send a group of new combat members to Reach to cooperate with the next action plan.
They have to sort out the threats from the Covenant and the Flood, hack into news media, social networks and other platforms through AI, and publicize relevant information.
In addition, an official website and media of the giant enterprise will be established to mainly publicize the civil war situation in the Star Alliance and the welfare of the giant enterprise of the universe!
Doing this is basically equivalent to a showdown with the UNSC. That's right, the Universal Corporation is openly trying to poach their employees and make the people follow the corporation.
As for the people being hesitant and not daring to act rashly, that doesn't matter, because the second course of action is to strike at the top leaders of the UNSC!
Leon will order the front-line members of each department to carry out a series of assassination operations against the top leaders of UNSC and UEG.
The special operations team composed of Rita, William Cage and others, combined with various humanoid weapons, is enough for them to carry out this plan.
Every time a UNSC executive was successfully assassinated, Leon would have the publicity department of the giant corporation release pictures, texts, and videos to publicly mock the UNSC officials.
The main purpose of his doing this was to intimidate these high-ranking dignitaries and make them surrender quickly, otherwise one of them would be the next to die.
This kind of highly targeted attack is often what the powerful and wealthy fear the most.
After all, giant corporations control absolute violence that can take their lives at any time!
For ordinary people, the emergence of global giants is not a disaster, but a new life choice.
Since it would be more promising to work with a global giant, then why not? If you work with the UNSC, won't your life be the same as before?
As soon as I think of surrender, the sky and the earth are widened!
After sending the action plan to the front-line base headquarters on Reach, Leon breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not make any specific arrangements for the plan, but only gave a general direction.
Leaders only need to make strategic arrangements, and leave the specific tactical aspects to the people below to arrange.
What's more, Leon has already sent Morgan Blackhand to the front line to command the local task deployment. He believes that Morgan will make arrangements based on the actual situation.
As for the issue of the rebels, these human members are basically desperate farmers, workers, and oppressed masses.
By simply providing them with basic supplies and development prospects, plus various welfare benefits, the vast majority of the rebels can be drawn into the camp of the giant companies.
After all, no matter what the historical background is, the vast majority of rebels are mainly ordinary people who are forced to do so, poor people who have no food to eat and have a hard time surviving.
If they can be provided with an environment where they can live and work in peace and contentment, only then will they follow those ambitious people to rebel.
As long as the global giants offer basic treatment conditions, they will most likely be able to deal with more than half of the rebels.
As for the small number of rebels who regard rebellion as a business and are bent on overthrowing the table, they are just insignificant bandit organizations. Under the crushing of absolute power, they will be obedient after a fight.
During this period, the world's giant companies have built a lot of warships and can withdraw troops at any time to deal with these rebels.
In fact, the reason why Leon ordered the factory areas and shipyards to build so many warships was not to go to war with the Covenant and play a real version of the interstellar war game.
Instead, it is used to deal with the UNSC and the rebels. After all, our own people are often the best at guarding against and dealing with them. The Covenant people who believe in God wholeheartedly are even easier to control!
[Boss, the real-time star map of the Halo universe you requested has been drawn and updated, and you can view it at any time! ]
At this time, Leon's cabinet AI Loki gave him a prompt, and then called up a holographic screen, on which the distribution of power in the entire Halo universe was clearly visible.
At the current stage, the planet Harvest, located on the edge of the UNSC territory, and the shield world 0459, are directly under the jurisdiction of the Universal Corporation.
The Star Alliance, which occupies half of the Milky Way, has degenerated into a situation of warlords after internal divisions.
But even so, the Covenant colonies that the Jiralhanae tribe is responsible for and guards still occupy more than 60% of the Covenant's territory.
Its scale and sphere of influence are several times larger than the territories of the elite race’s home planet and the areas under their jurisdiction in various places!
The Prophets have wanted to weaken the power of the elites and take back power for a long time, so they handed over most of the colonies and raw material resource areas to the care of the Jiraiyas.
So judging from the star map, the Jiralhanae still control a fairly large territory, while the elites occupy very few areas.
But what is concentrated are the essence. Although the territory of the elites seems a little small, the key City of Fraternity is in their hands!
You know, the City of Brotherly Love is the holy land of the Star Alliance and the capital of the Star Alliance with countless scientific and technological data and technologies. If this city falls into the hands of the elites, they can completely play the trick of "using the emperor to command the princes".
In the name of the Holy Land, he issued orders to the princes of various star alliances, and those who dared to disobey would be beaten one by one.
However, whether it was the UNSC or the Jiralhanae, these information did not cause any ripples in Leon's heart. Instead, it was the City of High Charity that suddenly reminded Leon of a key character.
That is the pioneer AI inside the City of Fraternity, the Monk of Prejudice!
That is the messenger of God mentioned by the prophet of truth, mercy and sorrow.
Speaking of the Prejudice Monk, in fact, this seemingly inconspicuous AI has actually done an unexpected thing, which is to assist the original Laoden in destroying the Forerunner civilization!
During the war between the Forerunners and the Flood, the Forerunners actually made a breakthrough at one point and almost defeated the Flood and crushed the Primordia's extinction plan.
But at the critical moment, Yuanji's cunning old Deng suddenly found the Prejudice Monk, and through some deception, he pulled the Prejudice Monk to his side.
Let the prejudiced monk act as a traitor to help him win this civilized war.
The original base has only a few tricks to deceive people, but for a species like AI, they are always effective. In the interpretation of the original base, the forerunners are characterized as the "defective products" of the pioneers. To put it bluntly, they think that the forerunners are a species that is not good at anything.
After inheriting the pioneer's [Neurophysics] skills, the forerunner tinkered with it for a long time before he could barely master the gravity chapter.
If it were an ancient human, they might have already comprehended this supreme skill. If you still can't play it even if you are given a max-level account, then what's the point of playing it!
In short, the forerunner is inferior in everything from IQ to management system. Little AI is obedient, and you can be right if you listen to me. I will replace it with a more powerful master to take you flying.
The prejudiced monk thought about it and felt that it made sense. How could this species, which was so "useless", lead the evolution of the Milky Way? It might even reverse history.
You can sweat so much even when playing a max-level character. If it’s not bad racial genes, what else could it be?
So the Prejudiced Monk took one step forward and cooperated with the Primordial to successfully destroy his own Creator Forerunner.
But later it suddenly realized that other species in the galaxy were even more BYD and it had been fooled by the primordium!
Species like Prophets, Elites, and Jiralhanae are far inferior to Forerunners.
Even a civilization like the Prophet, which relies on tomb robbing and getting technology points for free, can become the leader of the Milky Way. It's really that each generation is worse than the previous one!
Fortunately, human civilization has quietly recovered.
In the original "Halo" novel, the prejudiced monk wanted to make up for his mistakes after realizing that he had been deceived.
Therefore, they tried many times to activate the Forerunner's warships, teleport the humans on the Planet of Plenty to the City of High Charity, and provide them with shelter, announcing to the entire Star Alliance that humans were the recyclers that everyone wanted.
It’s a pity that the plan of the monk of prejudice failed due to the presence of the three prophetic priests: Truth, Sorrow and Mercy.
In general, this pioneer AI has good intentions. It just wants to make progress, what's wrong with that?
And even if they made a mistake, they still knew how to make up for it, instead of passing the blame or playing dead.
Thinking of this, Li Ang immediately sent a message to Li De who was far away in the City of Fraternity. The main content was to find the monk of prejudice as soon as possible and let him talk to him.
Afterwards, Leon continued to issue orders, dispatching a group of soldiers to use the Sojourner Dreadnought to go to High Charity to assist Reed and further speed up the integration of the Star Alliance.
As for the actions of humans, it is still the same.
Treat guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs.
Of course, treating guests is a benefit prepared for ordinary people.
Beheading and keeping them as dogs are methods specifically used against high-ranking officials.
After completing a series of transfer orders and task assignments, Leon stood up and left his personal office, preparing to fly through the star gate and head to the front-line base in the Shield World.
He wanted to see what stage Dr. Halsey's Spartan-II program and the transformation of the Flood virus had reached.
Not long after, Leon and Lucy were walking slowly in the corridor connecting the command center and the biological laboratory.
While walking, Leon listened to Lucy's work report while glancing sideways at the Shield World's core base outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
With the engineering department working overtime, the scale of the Shield World Core Base has already taken shape, and all basic facilities and functions have been activated.
Near various important construction areas, clone soldiers wearing individual equipment and holding plasma and hard light weapons were looking around vigilantly.
Relying on the AI chips in their brains and the large collective neural network system of the global giant, this group of clone soldiers can perform their tasks autonomously within a controllable range.
In addition, after receiving Leon's transfer order, five Sojourner dreadnoughts that were over ten thousand meters long also quickly rushed to the outer star field, preparing to go to the City of Fraternity.
After nearly a year of construction, production, and personnel mobilization, Li Ang finally managed to prepare sufficient manpower and material resources.
Even if a massive interstellar war was about to begin, Leon could handle it with ease.
There is no way around it. This is the trouble with ruling a vast corporate empire. Fighting a war is not something you can do just by snapping your head or stomping your feet.
In many cases, the actual exchange of fire between the two forces only lasts for a short while. If the proportion exceeds 30%, it can be considered an extremely brutal meat grinder battle.
More often than not, the main time and energy consumed in a war is spent on mobilizing troops and preparing supplies, which seem insignificant but are crucial aspects.
The fancy Thirty-Six Stratagems will not be of much use. The real battles will always test the decision-makers' determination and strategic vision.
At the strategic level, logistics and personnel mobilization, including the selection of generals, are the most critical links.
The micro-control details at the tactical level are actually the least important.
During this year, Li Ang completed a series of personnel transfers within the giant company many times, just to ensure that all parties and departments could operate smoothly.
Judging from the current results, Li Ang's performance in using people is perfect!
At this moment, Li Ang, whose thoughts were a little wandering, came back to his senses.
He quickened his pace, passed through the gate of the sky corridor, and entered the core area of the biological experiment center.
Swish-!
As the sensor door opened, what came into Li Ang's eyes was a busy scene. Researchers from various departments were wearing chemical protective suits and carefully completing the work at hand.
No one would suspend their tasks because of Li Ang's arrival.
It is precisely because of the pragmatic and efficient style of the world's giant companies that Dr. Halsey, who only wants to do scientific research, has also developed his own intelligent AI Cortana in advance.
This new type of AI developed through cloning has now become Halsey's right-hand man.
In addition, Halsey also made breakthrough progress in the research on the transformation of Spartan-II warriors.
At present, the soldier transformation plan has entered the final testing stage. Once it passes the test, it can be put into use immediately.
At this time, Otto and Halsey's two smart AIs saw Leon coming in and spoke in unison:
"boss."
Leon nodded, then walked straight to the metal operating table and asked the two research directors, Ott and Halsey:
"How is the progress of the transformation of the Flood virus and the Spartan-II program?"
The last time the Biotechnology Department reported on the progress of the Flood virus, only a small improvement had been made, and the infected individuals could be simply controlled.
But over time, the control effect began to weaken.
It is obvious that the existing biotechnology capabilities of the Universal Corporation are not enough to perfectly transform the Flood virus created by the Primordial.
If you want to fully understand the structure of the Flood and how it was reshaped, you can probably only ask the original people or find the answer from the think tank.
However, after Shield World started the program to connect to the think tank, it only provided a small amount of information. To get more, it would take time, more connection points, and simultaneous startup.
Immediately, Ott Cunningham, the head of the scientific research department, responded:
"There is no new news about the transformation project of the Flood virus, but there is some progress in the transformation plan of the Spartan-II soldiers."
After saying that, Ott looked at Halsey beside him and took the initiative to give him the opportunity to report his work results.
Halsey also took over the conversation and said:
"The Spartan warriors currently being tested are in a very stable condition. The activity levels of their skin, muscles, bones, and brain nerves have all reached our expected values."
"Now this batch of warriors has entered the final testing phase. Once they pass, they will be delivered to the legion of the Market Development Department."
"No matter what, our Research Department guarantees that the Spartan-II soldiers will be deployed to the new battlefield on time!"
