Containment control starts with the umbrella

Halfa time: October 3, 2018, 14:14.

Location: The flagship bridge of the containment fleet.

Andre, dressed in the uniform of the supreme general of Umbrella’s army, as well as a group of school-level officers, and Athena, who had already contained the fleet, stood by the center console showing a holographic image.

With artificial intelligence equipped with a prosthetic body, Tina stood beside Andre, explaining the situation of the Middle East war to everyone present.

"General, everyone, according to the information shared by the UNSC and us, as well as the intelligence collected by me, the total number of rebels is close to 540 thousand.

If you count terrorist organizations and militias that cooperate with the rebels, the number may be close to 700,000 or even more.

The rebel forces are mainly concentrated in large cities with large populations such as Adana, Aleppo, Homs, and Damascus.

Cities with concentrated forces are relatively close to each other, and most of the rebels are scattered in these large cities.

Deep in Iraq, Baghdad is far away from the rebel front, but the number of rebels has remained at around 80,000, and there are millions of people stranded in Baghdad.

What is certain is that two-thirds of the rebel initiators hit Baghdad and rely on a large number of civilians as'hostages' to negotiate with the UNSC."

"Negotiating?" an officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel asked:

"What does this group of rebels want? Even if there are nearly a million people, facing the UNSC's huge fleet and nearly endless source of troops, it is simply overwhelming."

"The rebels carried out an armed rebellion and a group of fooled civilians took hostages because of the problem of the adoption of new energy by countries around the world, which led to a sharp drop in the purchase and price of oil.

In this way, the UNSC countries are threatened to buy 200 billion barrels of oil, and the price of each barrel must be seventy dollars, otherwise the price is that the rebels and tens of millions of civilians will fight the UNSC to the end."

Tina was not as emotionally rich as Cortana and Serena, and she explained the reason for everyone with a blank expression.

"Tsk!" Hearing that it was for money, not for "fairness and justice," the lieutenant colonel said with disdain:

"The group of rebel leaders is a group of local tyrants, but they are not satisfied."

Tina was silent for a few seconds without comment, and then continued:

"As for civilians to support the rebels, the main reason is that the heads of the rebels have hyped up over the years. Once the UNSC unified policy is popularized, people must accept pork food.

In addition, these rebel leaders were originally the leading class of the country, and the local network and news were also under the control of the leaders. This has led to the current situation."

"Humph." Andre, who hadn't said a word, couldn't help but snorted coldly:

"I have been dealing with those abnormal phenomena for a long time, and it is the earth's'abnormal phenomenon' that feels that human beings are the only ones.

In the first and second world wars in the last century, he finally made peace, and he came to the cold war again!The spies are here!

The end of the century ushered in the end of the Cold War, and the United States started to be unable to idle again, adding to other countries' congestion all the time. Soka is so special."

"..."

A group of officers nodded silently, especially when Andre was talking about the United States.

After all, half of the officers in Andre's command are veterans who have participated in conventional wars and veterans of the'battle nation'.Born to have no good feelings about America.

"Hey..." And Athena sighed softly.

Having seen too much history of war, if it hadn't been for Umbrella's appearance, she would have been deeply disappointed in mankind and prepared to leave this earth devastated by mankind.

"General." At this time, Tina said with a slap in the face:

"A former U.S. major general who is now a UNSC lieutenant general once proposed that there is no need to consider the safety of those civilians and directly use the fleet to carry out saturation bombing to solve the rebels.

However, it was directly rejected by the overwhelming majority of UNSC officials and generals. Now UNSC's forces have begun to build up and are ready to confront the rebels."

"It's Brett from the United States again." Andre shook his head with an angry face, and then asked Tina quietly with the map image on the center console:

"UNSC shares information about the rebels with us. It's not just about sharing it. Say, what help do they want from Umbrella?"

"It really needs our help." Tina controlled the imaging on the center console, focused on Baghdad, and said:

"UNSC stated that it is absolutely impossible to negotiate with the rebels, and they are still preparing to destroy the rebels by force, but the rebels claim that in addition to civilian hostages, they have a weapon capable of destroying mankind.

Because UNSC has insufficient information on this weapon, it wants to obtain Umbrella’s technical and intelligence support to speculate what the weapon is in the hands of the rebels, or to prove the truth of the rebel’s words."

"Huh?" After hearing the words, Andre finally asked with a serious expression: "Then our agent has any information?"

"Yes." Tina said, pointing to the central location in Baghdad:

"According to a report by an agent hiding in the Baghdad police station, in the past few years of the promotion of hydrogen engines and the establishment of UNSC, the large construction sites in the center of Baghdad continued to transport a large amount of soil, which seems to be building some kind of large underground fortress. Or research facilities."

As Tina said, she controlled the imaging on the center console to switch to Turkey, and marked the Gobekri stone formation not far from the city of Shanliur.

Said: "According to another agent's intelligence, it is said that before the establishment of a large underground facility in Baghdad, a Turkish general who was already one of the leaders of the rebels led a personal guard to conduct extremely destructive excavations in the stone formation.

The agent also claimed that during the excavation of the guards, there had been a lot of intensive gunfire, which seemed to be an enemy attack.

In the end, the general seemed to have got the'thing' he wanted, and then evacuated with the remaining guards.

Moreover, the squadron who had died was burned on the spot by the general, so the agents were unable to obtain more detailed data.

But what is certain is that in the underground facilities in Baghdad, there must be'things' excavated from the Gobekli Stone Circle."

Speaking of this, the image of the Gobekli stone circle appeared on the center console, and Tina's tone became a lot heavy:

"The Gebekli Stone Formation is estimated to be built at least 12,000 years ago, and it is an unsolved mystery of mankind.

Due to continuous wars in the region, scholars around the world are unable to conduct in-depth research on this ancient relic.

Now, looking at it, the rebels are very likely to have some kind of destroying weapon in their hands."

.

{The Gobekli Stone Circle is not the ancient relics compiled in this book, but the real buildings that exist in Turkey.

It is indeed because of the continuous wars in the region, scholars from all walks of life are unable to obtain protection and funds, and cannot dig deeper.

But what is certain is that according to the current society's perception of humans at that time, its technology is absolutely impossible to build such a magnificent building.

The stones weigh 30 to 40 tons, and there are no quarry resources nearby. They are cut evenly and finely carved.

This is just the giant stone pillar found on the first floor.}
