Chapter 97： Colonial plan

William is also quite satisfied with the characters in the Fire Spirit package.

For example, James Carter, the legendary captain, has a strong sense of responsibility, has the courage to fight and take risks, and is good at boosting morale.

Umbrella really needs a captain with extensive experience in space to ensure the safety of the fleet.

There is also the artificial intelligence Serena, who is known as "poisonous tongue" and "black belly". William has a deep impression of her. The most important thing is that she is not weaker than Cortana in terms of function and beauty.

As for the Spartan Red Team, William doesn’t make too many comments. All he can say is two words...

Good luck and tough.

Especially when he played the second part in the original world, 092 Jerome bought time for the artificial intelligence Isabel to kill on the exile aircraft carrier.

After completing the mission, Jerome brought Isabel to Spartan's unique "Leap of Faith", and only wore Thor's hammer to make an atmospheric drop.

True landing on both feet.

The only thing that makes William feel regretful is that the legendary sergeant John Fauci is not included in the gift package. After all, he is a boss-level kamikaze martyr.

Except these.

What also excites William is the M41A pulse rifle and M56 smart machine gun included in the equipment of the Colonial Marine Corps.

M41A is one of the most classic firearms in science fiction movies or games.

Clear shots.

is full of 99 shellless bullets.

The warhead has a trigger fuse, which means that the warhead will explode the moment it hits the target.

A 30mm-caliber pump-driven grenade launcher is hung underneath.

This firepower is quite terrifying.

and M56.

is called smart because it has a corresponding electronic system and a robotic arm at the waist.

The machine gunner only needs to swing the muzzle to the general position of the enemy, and the system can automatically capture and control the mechanical arm to correct aiming.

Of course, the choice of whether to fire or not depends on the index finger of the machine gunner.

If you modify the individual equipment of the colonial marines, add mechanical bones and titanium armor, this is perfect as a ship-borne combatant.

Then, William asked the system again: ‘Are there any restrictions on the assimilation options of the system, the colonial army and the black watch? ’

[Because the host has acquired the characteristics of ‘company culture’, the restrictions on loyalty have been lifted.

The requirements for combat power are as follows;

Colonial Marine Corps: 55

Black Watch Soldier: 65

The system funds that need to be consumed are as follows;

Colonial Marine Corps: Five thousand.

Black Watch Soldier: Fifteen thousand. 】

‘Well, I see. ’

After receiving the answer, William sat down on the sofa, poking his elbows at his knees, crossing his left and right hands against his chin, frowning as if he was thinking deeply.

Soon after, he whispered to the system: ‘System, how many people are there in the company’s security? What about the minimum combat power? ’

【Should the number of people be as detailed as possible? 】

'it is good. ’

[Yes, testing...

Number of security guards: 33,674.

Minimum combat power: 57. 】

’Assimilate all security into the colonial marines. ’

[Yes, after deducting 168.37 million system funds, it is being assimilated...

Assimilation is complete. 】

‘Very good. "William nodded.

Security is outdated for Umbrella. The combat power and equipment is only slightly higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and it is far from enough to garrison the containment center.

And with the jump engine, Umbrella’s focus will be on the colonial project, and security is also not enough to ensure the safety of the colonies.

Then William got up and walked off the platform, and raised his voice: "Notify the colonel that the lieutenant general and the doctor are coming to the conference hall of the terminal building."

"Yes, boss."

———————

...

In the conference hall a few minutes later;

Standard format.

U-shaped long tables and chairs, and a full set of projection equipment.

William sits in the main seat. On his left hand side is Andre first, followed by Mike, who has ‘shared’ with 20,000 people.

On the right hand side is overwork, unable to conceal the tired and sleepy Halsey.

And Cortana's chip was also prevented by William from being on the table, generating a palm-sized holographic image, preparing to participate in the next discussion together.

"Everyone, now that Manhattan's various items have been on the right track, let's talk about the company's future development goals." William solemnly said.

"Boss." At this moment, Andre glanced at Mike a little uncomfortably and said:

"Is he a member of Umbrella?"

"You are right." Before William could explain, Mike raised his eyebrows and said:

"From today, my Marines and I will be Umbrella employees, old friends."

"..."

William looked at the two veterans and shook his head helplessly.

Through these few days of getting along, he found that Andre and Mike belonged to a ‘competitive’ relationship when they were young, and they were both his grandfather’s favored subordinates.

Bickering and mocking each other are daily routines, not so much competition, but they feel that their relationship is more like hurting friends ahem. "William coughed slightly and continued:

"The Lieutenant General belongs to Umbrella's A-level staff and leads his 20,000 Marines stationed in Troy on standby."

After speaking, William looked at Andre again:

"Umbrella originally established the highest rank of colonel, but with the increase in the number of troops and the addition of lieutenant generals, the colonel is no longer suitable.

Then Andre, your newest rank is General, how about continuing to command Umbrella’s forces? "

Hearing the words, Andre’s eyes lighted up and he raised his chest and said proudly: "No problem, boss."

This old and strong man happened to be worried about the issue of military rank, and William gave a perfect answer, worthy of being a ‘pro son’.

As for Mike, there is no objection to this decision. After all, everything has a first-come-first-served basis, and it is not someone else who raised William, but Andre.

"Very good." William also smiled at Andrea.

.

Then he asked Cortana to use the projection device to explain the side course to dawn plan to everyone, the main purpose of which is to prepare the new Mike.

When Cortana finished explaining, William returned to a solemn expression, looking at Mike and said solemnly:

"Lieutenant General, all the Marines under your command will be launched together with six warships as the main combat personnel of the fleet."

"Yes, boss." Mike nodded.

Andre, who knows William best, instead asked: "Boss, the company's future development goals... should it focus on space?"

"Yes." William said in a straightforward voice without denying:

"The expansion of Umbrella in the world, that is, on the earth, has reached saturation, and the solar system is the next main goal, which is the colonization plan."
