Chapter 244: Brush up Your Achievements! Acting Governor! Assessment Is Over! Expedition
Chapter 244 Gain merit! Acting Governor! The 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.

Since Reed kidnapped Dr. Halsey and left Reach, Jack Wells, who stayed on Reach, continued to lead the remaining troop members, lurking here, waiting for subsequent orders.
And now, they have waited for new instructions from the headquarters!
Inside the engine room of the Stormhawk gunship.
【Attention to all personnel! 】
At this time, Morgan Blackhand, who was far away at the headquarters of Harvest Star, was issuing orders to the members of the Ace Advance Team in front of him through the super-light speed communication equipment:
[Now I ask you to go to New Alexandria City and capture all the terminal equipment of the intelligent AI Sif there. This is a big matter and must be resolved quickly. 】
[Once caught in a stalemate, you will face the dilemma of being isolated and helpless, but this is our only chance, and we must not miss it again. 】
【Are you ready? 】
The three elements of time, place, and characters are all present, and all that is left to do is to perform the mission. This is the consistent style of the Ace Advance Team.
"yes!"
After receiving the exact response, Morgan Blackhand just replied to these warriors: "I wish you all good luck in martial arts."
Immediately, the holographic screen disappeared, and the entire cabin returned to calm.
Jack Wells, who was sitting near the cockpit, continued to check the mission list and various action indicator information through the screen of the tactical helmet.
The content of their operation this time was to go to the Olympic Tower, the ONI headquarters in New Alexandria City, and take advantage of the enemy's internal power shortage to seize control of the intelligent AI Sif!
At present, the entire military force of Reach has been mobilized, and a large number of armed forces are on the ground and in the star field carefully searching for airships and suspicious persons.
Only the military defense near the Olympic Tower is extremely weak, and this just gives Jack and others an opportunity to take advantage of it!
However, the person leading this raid was not actually Morgan Blackhand, but Dr. Kathleen Halsey, who had just surrendered to a giant company in the world!
It turns out that Halsey, who was kidnapped aboard the Infinity aircraft carrier not long ago, had chosen to join a giant company and become a part of it.
There was no vulgar and lengthy persuasion process. After clearly stating the basic information about the giant company and the benefits offered by the new boss, Halsey did not pretend to bargain, and immediately nodded and agreed.
This is true. These days, loyal ministers like Takemura Goro will only stay in the Arasaka Department as an operations director for the rest of their lives and have never thought of joining the Ace Advance Team. After all, they are very few.
The scientific research department of a giant company in the world is the only department among many departments that can keep pace with the market development department. It is the department that has the right to use a giant structure!
The [Science Hub] megastructure is the core work area of the Scientific Research Department.
They are also working as 996 social beasts for their bosses. What giant companies can provide are top-notch offices, experimental equipment, venues, and independent experimental projects.
The commission is generous, food and accommodation are included, there are a lot of social benefits, and there are opportunities to get close to core management.
If you don't jump now, why are you waiting?
As for the bunch of old-time leaders of the UNSC who have made several children complain, how difficult is it to spend more money to start a clone project first?
After becoming a new member of the giant company in the world, Halsey's first letter of surrender to Leon was for planning this raid.
All the confidential data and information stored in the Olympic Tower, as well as the terminal location of the intelligent AI Sif, were all marked by her.
Although it is a bit immoral to backstab his old club, but in front of the two words of "progress", the UNSC is nothing.
Not long after, the two Storm Eagle gunships carrying fifty Astartes warriors passed over New Alexandria.
As the ground headquarters of the UNSC, the Olympic Tower's external defense system is actually quite in place.
In addition to agents disguised as passers-by and vendors, there are also a group of heavily armed UNSC special forces controlling the commanding heights in various places.
But this is only a conventional armed force. Most of the armor-level troops have been sent out, so the guard force here is weaker than usual.
However, neither the senior UNSC personnel 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 smart AI, he will be immediately locked down and then shot and killed by a nearby sniper!
However, before Jack entered New Alexandria, he had already used the ICE intrusion protocol to block the intelligent AI Sif.
This time it can only be blocked for 10 minutes, but this time is enough time for them to forcefully break into the Olympic Tower!
Bang——! !
As two micro-guided shells were blasted out, two hideous holes appeared in the shell of the tower. The Astartes warriors used this as a landing point and quickly broke into the tower.
Bang!
Bang bang! !
Without any mercy, the Astartes warriors immediately shot and blasted any soldier in combat uniforms who intercepted them.
As for the panicked ordinary employees, they simply ignored them and headed straight for the target location.
It was not until three minutes after Jack Wells led the team into the Olympic Tower that the intelligent AI Shiver broke through the ICE shield and issued a series of alarms and support requests.
However, the Astartes warriors who rushed left and right had already arrived at the core area of the Olympic Tower and destroyed the riot wall made of alloy.
They immediately packed up all the information inside, including the terminal equipment of the intelligent AI Shiver.
The entire raid was successfully completed in less than 20 minutes, just as Halsey expected, when the Storm Eagle gunship left New Alexandria.
The belated UNSC main force saw only the panicked crowd, the devastated core secret room, and the empty terminal room.
They couldn't believe that this rebel army was so cruel. 30 hours after kidnapping Dr. Halsey, they dared to come and kidnap the intelligent AI Shiver!
This is no different from shitting on the head of the UNSC.
However, no matter how angry and panicked the UNSC was, it could not change the fact that they were infiltrated by the combat forces of the giant enterprise.
The intelligent AI Shiver was forcibly connected to the matrix program as soon as he was kidnapped, and became a part of the giant enterprise.
Just when Jack's mission of the Reach Star Operation was perfectly completed, the expeditionary fleet far away on the Harvest Star also officially set out at the same time!
A fleet composed 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 jumps.
And the participants this time are also quite luxurious. Morgan Blackhand is the commander-in-chief, and David's members are the advance team. Reed and a group of elite soldiers were transferred from the ace advance team.
At this moment, in the hyperspace channel that distorted time and space, this expeditionary fleet quickly rushed to the shield world 0459 hundreds of light years away.
In the hyperspace that emits 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 area of the training ground, thousands of Astartes warriors are participating in daily training.
This voyage will take more than a month. Although each ship is equipped with a freezer for the long interstellar expedition, it is not necessary to waste the time of the warriors.
And reduce the consumption of materials on the ship.
But for the warriors of the "Iron Hands" Astartes Regiment, they are really not used to entering a dormant state in the freezer.
After all, after the transplantation of the ganglion organ, these warriors no longer need long 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 throughout the whole process, 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 smart Catherine Halsey also realized that the Astartes warriors were powerful, but such a tall body was too conspicuous in the crowd.
If the enemy's vigilance was more stringent, it would be impossible to complete the stealth assassination mission.
Head-on, force a breakthrough.
These Astartes warriors are good at it, but when it comes to silent assassinations, they may need a new type of genetic warriors with a smaller size and similar strength.
'It seems that I have to prepare for the Spartan warrior transformation project as soon as possible. '
Halsey was secretly determined in her heart.
This Orion Phase II plan, which was supposed to be provided to the UNSC, is now presented to the Universal Corporation by Halsey as a token of loyalty.
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 are always given to those who are capable.
Under the UNSC, the Spartan warriors were used to suppress the rebels in the colonies. In essence, they were used to solve the civil war and kill the overwhelmed civilians.
In the UNSC, the Spartan warriors were executioners.
But on the side of the Universal Corporation, these warriors can become warriors who conquer the universe. They fight for honor and 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 to create the Manticore virus, and developing intelligent AI with Ultra.
The Biotechnology Department of the Giant Corporation 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 mission is over, Halsey will be able to formally establish her own research department and fully develop the transformation technology of Spartan warriors.
It must be said that Halsey was quite excited to be able to stay in the Universal Corporation and work for this powerful civilization.
In addition to having more outstanding colleagues and more professional scientific and technological equipment, the biotechnology of the Universal Corporation is also quite advanced.
There are too many eye-catching sample data in the gene bank of the pioneer civilization from "Pacific Rim".
Halsey can 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 somewhat similar to the genetic organ transplantation of the Astartes warriors. As long as it can be stable and reliable, then these Spartan warriors will have a chance to achieve "mass production"!
In short, Halsey is going to drive down the manufacturing cost of Spartan!
While Kathleen Halsey was deep in thought, dreaming of a better future, Morgan Blackhand, the commander of the expeditionary force, came to her side.
"Dr. Halsey, I hope you can get used to working on a ship as soon as possible."
Morgan clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the young new employee with a smile on his face, "It's difficult to go on an expedition with us big men. If you have any difficulties, just ask them."
"It's nothing. The working environment here is very good and I don't have any discomfort."
Halsey smiled. She went on an expedition with Morgan Blackhand. This was not an act of hardship, but a job specially arranged by her boss, Leon, to gain "merit"!
To put it simply, Halsey came here to "gold-plating" so that Li Ang could directly promote her later and create 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 will realize the extraordinary "place".
If company employees want to be promoted by convincing the public, they often need records of achievements and work achievements that look "glossy" and "fake".
No matter how wet it is, as long as it can calm people down when put out!
This is the same as Zhuge Liang sending Ma Di to guard the street pavilion. Essentially, it is just to gain military merit for his own people and facilitate promotion.
As long as Halsey doesn't commit suicide, he will basically be promoted to department head.
The global giant company has been developing for almost 40 to 50 years. There are quite a few internal factions, with new and old employees holding different positions in different departments.
But whether you are a newcomer or an old employee, performance and qualifications always come first!
You know, V is not a veteran employee of a giant company in the world. He is a member of a giant company who became a monk halfway through. He relied on his talent and ability to get into the position of head of the development department.
He is even expected to become the first interstellar governor of a giant company in the world!
It's because his achievements and qualifications are enough to convince everyone, even David Martinez is the same. He has a serious record of participating in various wars.
That's why he was able to lead an advance team of all heavens on his own, and received similar treatment as V more than ten years ago.
Therefore, as long as you have outstanding abilities, you can reflect your unique value in front of leaders.
Even if they are "newcomers" with little qualifications, the leaders will try their best to help them improve their grades and achieve brilliant results.
"Dr. Halsey, this combat mission is not difficult for us. Just stay in the laboratory with peace of mind and complete your work."
"I guarantee that your life will not be in any danger."
Morgan Blackhand, like Leon, has always valued his talented employees.
"Okay, Chief Morgan, then I'll leave everything to you."
Halsey smiled and said, since her boss Li Ang gave her this opportunity, of course she had to take it steadily.
After looking at the hyperspace scene outside the porthole, Halsey took a small built-in rail train and returned to the experimental center at the front of the ship to continue assisting Nicolo in completing the research and development of the Manticore virus.
…
At this moment, in the private office of the Wanjie Base headquarters, Li Ang, who had just finished his personal work, was wearing loose pajamas, drinking cold coffee delivered by Lucy, and conducting video communication with V.
[Boss, after more than a month of military suppression, the situation in Latuwu has stabilized. 】V’s voice echoed throughout the office.
Since V led the troops to arrive in the Latuu system, they immediately carried out a series of sanctions against the local area in accordance with the established counter-insurgency plan.
However, during this period, something unexpected happened.
For example, the rebels from Latu'u colluded with other members of the global trade circle.
It turns out that there are more than one or two civilized forces trying to instigate others. Some members of the trading circle specifically instigate and incite rebellion on the planets of other trading members.
This is used to take the opportunity to control the internal affairs of other civilized forces.
To put it simply, there are a bunch of young people who are poaching the corners of giant companies around the world, trying to develop their next business and start their own business!
In this regard, V also followed the clues and found the group of powerful and high-ranking officials. Together with the group and the rebels, they were escorted to Ideal City to prepare for the trial of the giant company.
"Well done."
With V's full report, Li Ang has fully understood the Latuwu rebellion.
Needless to say, Li Ang was very surprised by V's political vision and toughness, as well as his sufficient low-key and humility during the counter-insurgency mission.
Prior to this, Li Ang's expectations for V were limited to completing a simple counter-insurgency mission, which was nothing more than adding an insignificant amount to his credit book.
But what Li Ang didn't expect was that V was able to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and along the way he dug out the entire mastermind behind the incident!
With such hard-core business capabilities and long-term vision, it is a perfect fit for V to be the acting interstellar governor.
You should know that the rebellion occurred not only in the 003 "Edge of Tomorrow" universe where V is.
There were also some small and medium-sized rebellion incidents in the 001 "Underworld" and 002 "Pacific Rim" universes.
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 not cut out for this job!
After passing the acting governor assessment this time, Mann can only be a personal bodyguard at most. At that time, Leon can arrange for him to be the head of the Imperial Guard.
In the future, just stay by my side and be a personal guard like "Xu Chu".
As for Johnny Silverhand, this guy is good at bragging and talking nonsense. He is not bad as a lecturer, but he is really not good at politics.
He is the kind of person who gets negative points in both theory and practice.
Let Arasaka Yorinobu be the interstellar governor, which is more suitable than this guy.
Therefore, Johnny Silverhand's future position can only be the adjutant of the Ace Vanguard Team, and being the third in command is almost enough.
And V, there are only four words - unlimited future!
But now he still needs more training and tests. The journey from a warrior to an executor is quite long.
After listening to V's full report, Leon nodded calmly and continued to give him new instructions:
"Now you will continue to act as the interstellar governor of the 003 universe, and manage all matters of the universe trade. Wait until the 004 universe stabilizes, and then make further decisions."
[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 knows very well that Leon is not confident to hand over such an important position to anyone easily. Even if he is the interstellar governor, he can only be the interstellar governor for a while.
It is impossible to continue to be the governor forever.
In this case, just do your job honestly. As for the rewards and awards, those are the boss's concerns.
It is not his turn to take the initiative.
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!
