Chapter 273: Half of the Star Alliance has fallen! Recruitment and plunder!

At this time, Mann had led his team to the back of the Jiraiya patrol. He slowly drew out his chainsaw sword, and at the moment of swinging the sword, one of the Jiraiyas turned into pieces.

Before the other Jiraiyas could react or make any roars, the rest of the Astartes warriors drew their swords and killed all of them.

After the Covenant patrols on the ground were dealt with, airdrop pods carrying Astartes warriors landed above the outpost and the palace complex.

After seeing this scene, Mann reorganized the looting team and returned to the mountains and forests again.

His next task is to continue searching, sneaking, assassinating nearby Jiralhanae sentinels, and hunting down high-value targets. As for the task of raiding the Prophet's headquarters, it will be handed over to this group of fresh forces.

……

Universal City, Ideal City, Headquarters of the Base of All Worlds!

At this moment, Leon has received the latest news from the Star Alliance unified battlefield.

He turned his attention to the center console in front of him and continued to pay attention to the progress of the occupation of the entire Star Alliance battlefield.

AI Loki will collect and integrate all information data from the front battlefield, and after analysis and summary, it will update the progress on the star map in real time.

Up to now, the Universal Alliance has occupied 57% of the entire territory of the Star Alliance, and half of the Star Alliance has fallen into the hands of the Universal Corporations.

You know, the original Universal Alliance occupied less than 20% of the territory. The reason why they were able to advance so quickly in just one or two months was mainly due to the orthodox identity of the "Recyclers" and the support of the elites.

With the current advancement speed of the Universal Alliance, it won't be long before the integration progress is completed to 100%.

Leon knew that he had to fight this war to unify the Star Alliance.

At this time, coercion, inducement, intimidation and fraud are completely useless. Without creating a new world with fists, this Star Alliance will never fall under the rule of giant corporations.

"boss."

Lucy, who was standing behind Leon, reported to him: "There is new progress from Morgan Blackhand. They successfully captured the core senior officials of the UNSC through a surprise attack."

"These include the current Admiral Terrence, ONI Commander-in-Chief Margaret and others!"

When he learned that these big shots had all become prisoners of the giant companies, Li Ang's mood suddenly improved. "Well done, Morgan is very efficient."

Ever since Leon transferred Morgan Blackhand to Reach and personally coordinated a series of action plans on Earth and Reach, Leon rarely asked about the situation on Earth.

He just wants results, doesn't want any instructions.

Unexpectedly, Morgan Blackhand fulfilled the mission objectives quite well. In just a few months, he was able to plant a bunch of soldiers and capture so many UNSC high-ranking officials!

This almost caught all the core dignitaries of the UNSC in one fell swoop.

"Morgan and his team did a great job. Now all that's left is to find the portal."

Lucy nodded slightly, and then continued:

"I am now uploading all the details of the operation to the center console so that you can check it at any time."

After he finished speaking, Leon checked the operational data compiled by Lucy through the central console, and began to think about how to deal with those UNSC high-ranking officials.

Soon, Leon understood the details of Morgan's entire operation from planning to execution.

In many cases, Li Ang evaluates the level of a department or an action team based on their final performance and the deployment of action decisions.

In his opinion, the result and the process are equally important.

The process can reflect the thinking habits of a department or group when performing tasks. Only when the other party is given a high degree of freedom of action and decision-making power can the other party's upper limit and style of doing things be revealed.

For example, when Alex, Rita, and Cage were kidnapped by the rebels on the front line, they were able to come up with clear ideas to solve the problem and make response decisions in the face of this sudden accident.

First, they collected information to see how the situation developed, then launched a surprise attack, entered the enemy's command center and drew numbers to call people. The whole process was smooth and efficient to the extreme.

When Morgan Blackhand coordinated the raid on the UNSC headquarters, the key point was two words: intelligence.

During this period, Morgan often asked the logistics departments of giant companies for a large number of reconnaissance equipment and top hacker teams. He almost infiltrated the entire UNSC intelligence network.

Bribery, assassination, coercion and inducement, all possible tactics were used, with the main purpose of collecting information from all sides.

It was precisely because he had a clear understanding of the situation of this UNSC high-level meeting that Morgan planned such a thunder strike operation.

Li Ang quite approves of Morgan's move of making a stunning debut without making any noise.

After all, whether it is war or other action strategies, it is essentially a game of infinite information asymmetry.

New variables are generated in this world every moment. Whoever can capture or predict the emergence of new variables in advance can use these key variables to achieve the desired results.

Although Morgan did not have extraordinary abilities, he was able to analyze changes in the situation on his own and make comprehensive deployments in advance.

But relying on this steady and solid approach, we can also complete the task excellently.

Leon was quite satisfied with his evaluation of Morgan Blackhand. He had a solid view of the overall situation and his way of thinking, and he already possessed the qualities of a senior leader.

At the current stage, Leon basically handed over the affairs of Earth and Reach to Morgan Blackhand, while he focused on the integration progress of the Covenant.

He hopes to complete the integration of the Star Alliance as much as possible by the end of this year, as well as explore and excavate more ruins and connection points with the Forerunner's think tank.

After all, in the Halo universe, there are plenty of top-notch equipment, such as the Halo II battleship, which can still be ranked among the T0 weapons even though it spans other sci-fi dimensions!

Of course, Leon was always prepared for the worst regarding the integration of the human camp.

Because up to now, there is still a group of forces in the human rebel army that have not completely submitted to the global giant enterprise, and are still doing their own thing and playing the liberal way.

For this undisciplined, unenterprising and unambitious rebel force, Li Ang only gave them two chances, the same as the previous recruitment process.

The two parties first sat down and calmly discussed the terms, and the treatment conditions offered were the same as the standards set by the giant company.

If these rebels want to make exorbitant demands, or are ungrateful and refuse to obey, then according to the principle of three times the limit, even if Li Ang does not want to kill them, he will completely wipe out this force.

The battleship array and the large number of reserve legions he prepared were not only for fighting the Covenant and aliens, but also for taking ruthless action against these human scums.

The rebel forces on the front line, most of which were wiped out before, are a living example.

Although Captain Robert Watts had chosen to surrender to save his life at the critical moment, the fate that awaited him was not any amnesty or benefits, but trial, and he would most likely go to jail first.

After seeing his performance, we will assign him new work.

If the conflict continues to escalate and a new large-scale rebel organization emerges, Leon will continue to dispatch other troops to the Eridanus system.

As long as you can't kill him, try to kill him.

This is Li Ang's principle towards the rebels: provide them with food and drink, and provide them with regular treatment. It would be best if they could be obedient and follow the arrangements of the giant company.

If they refuse to repent and insist on rebelling and starting a business, they will be slaughtered in one go.

However, for the rebels who have surrendered to the giant global enterprise, Leon will not let them eat for free.

Now the elites of the Star Alliance have been incorporated into the Universal Alliance, and are going to fight the Prophet, the Jiralhanae and the remnants of the evil, and the humans such as the Front rebels naturally have to continue doing their work.

Although Li Ang did not give this group of rebels a formal organization for the time being, he issued them a "looting license."

Human forces, led by the Front rebels, have been using the name of the Universal Corporation to harass UNSC garrisons, open warehouses and distribute food to other colonies, and occupy new territories.

Fighting a war requires powerful weapons and equipment, and Li Ang took the opportunity to "sell" all the modular equipment eliminated by the giant company and a large number of exoskeleton devices to the rebels.

The monetary settlement between the two parties is the credit points of giant companies, or actual items such as rare minerals.

The so-called credit points are the current monetary system of the world's giant companies.

It mainly comes from work, or completing various tasks, as well as occasional winnings, asset settlements, etc. In this regard, most rebels will choose to use points to get free equipment and use new equipment and weapons to occupy new territories.

On the surface, the rebels got the giant company's weapons for free, but in fact the giant company did not spend any money, which made these rebels very motivated to expand the giant company's sphere of influence.

No matter in which universe or environment, as long as he can do business, Leon will usually use the style of a giant enterprise to the extreme.

At this time, Li Ang skipped the information on the holographic screen and looked at the list of prisoners in this operation.

Looking at the familiar names such as Terrence and Margaret Parangoski, Leon was thoughtful.

Terrence is the UNSC's naval marshal and is considered the most powerful general in the human government camp. He has a good overall view and fighting spirit, and is very suitable to be recruited as a senior general of a giant company.

The second is Margaret Parangoski. In Leon's impression, she is an absolute ruthless character.

This proud girl who was born on the moon and joined the UNSC Navy at the age of 22, like Robert before her, also had an excellent background.

Margaret had a good family background, a high level of education, and came into contact with the most powerful and influential people in the human world, which enabled her to develop extraordinary skills and character.

In fact, more than 20 years ago, the ONI department did not have the same status within the UNSC as it does now.

At the beginning, ONI's leaders were very disappointed with the ONI department because of its poor management, the rebellion that gradually got out of control, and its poor business capabilities.

Just when ONI was about to face the critical moment of being reorganized or even disbanded, it was Margaret who personally led the team to the most dangerous rebellion site, Onyx.

Before long, thanks to a series of actions arranged by Margaret, Agate Star, which had been the most rebellious, returned to peace and everything became peaceful.

But what is intriguing is that the suppression of the rebellion on Agate was classified as a top-secret file by the ONI department, and all traces of the content were directly erased by the military-grade intelligent AI.

It was as if this counterinsurgency mission had never happened.

It is obvious that any normal person can deduce with their toes that Margaret relied on a bloody and brutal suppression operation as her bargaining chip to take over the crumbling ONI department.

She achieved her power at the cost of countless lives, including those of rebels and more likely other innocent people.

But this drastic measure of cutting the Gordian knot was very effective. The rebellion on Agate Star was eradicated from then on, and the leaders above were quite satisfied with it.

This little-known incident of suppressing the rebellion also represents Margaret's style of doing things. As long as she can achieve her goal, she will do whatever it takes, no matter what shameful means are.

Within the UNSC, Margaret is also listed as the most dangerous leader.

But there is no doubt that her business ability is quite outstanding.

For example, the Spartan-II warrior transformation program currently being carried out by the ONI department was approved by Margaret, and in order to ensure the success of the program, agents were even sent to kidnap 75 children.

In her opinion, being able to sacrifice the lives of a few people to restore stability in countless colonies was a sure-win deal and worth taking the risk, even if it meant damaging her reputation.

Although Margaret does things unscrupulously, has low moral values, and easily offends her own people, it is this kind of efficient and tough subordinate who is often the most liked by high-level leaders.

In addition to having better business capabilities than others, this type of person is also an excellent "bulletproof vest".

After all, once a leader makes a serious mistake, using ordinary scumbags to take the blame will not appease public anger.

But pulling this kind of person out to take the blame is a perfect way to do it. In other words, subordinates like Margaret are the best substitutes for the leader. If used well, it is equivalent to a perfect political confession!
Zhang Tang of Emperor Wu of Han and Lai Junchen of Empress Wu Zetian were all cruel officials of the same nature. They were specially pulled out to do things for the leaders and were also used to take bullets.

Such a ruthless character who does things at all costs, pursues efficiency and efficiency, and is not afraid of offending others is indeed very much in line with Li Ang's appetite.

Li Ang stared at the list of UNSC senior personnel closely. After thinking for a moment, he decided to select a group of useful and practical people for secondary use.

As for the powerful people at the top level, there is no one who doesn’t have some dirty secrets on him. A few deaths are not a big deal. The key is whether he can meet the needs of the leaders.

There is a big difference between top talents like Terrence and Margaret and the corrupt parasites in the middle and senior levels of the UNSC.

Soon, Leon reserved a position for Margaret in his mind, that is, the new director of the Giant Enterprise Intelligence Bureau, and Alex served as the director of the Intelligence Department.

The intelligence department of a giant enterprise is mainly responsible for gathering intelligence from the outside world, while the Joint Intelligence Bureau is responsible for gathering intelligence from within the giant enterprise. The positioning of both parties is the same, but the objects of investigation are different.

Obviously, the Intelligence Department is definitely a department with good lucrative jobs!

The working environment is safe, all you need to do is to inquire for intelligence and collect information, and it is easy to get a promotion and a raise.

After all, every time a global giant integrates a new universe, the personnel of the Intelligence Department will be rewarded according to their merits.

On the other hand, the staff of the Joint Intelligence Bureau have to supervise their own people all day long, which is definitely unpopular. They have fewer opportunities for promotion and salary increase than those in the Intelligence Department.

But for Li Ang, the CIA really needs a supervisor who dares to offend people, and he is reluctant to arrange other confidants to do the job.

This position belongs to Margaret!

UNSC naval commanders such as Terrence and Andrew have extensive experience in naval warfare, especially in orbital capture, landing, interstellar naval warfare and other professional capabilities.

Standard naval talent.

It just so happens that the navy of the global giant company has been the focus of development in recent years, but because it started too quickly, the subsequent talent is a bit weak.

It just so happens that the UNSC has a lot of such naval generals. Picking up the ready-made ones at this time can make up for the shortcomings of the giant company in this area as quickly as possible.

As for how to make the other party convinced of the giant company and become its own employees, Li Ang decided to take action personally and recruit these talents for his own use.

"Notify Morgan Blackhand and have him escort these UNSC high-ranking officials to Secudus City immediately. I will personally cross the stargate and come to interrogate these people."

Li Ang opened his mouth and gave orders.

"Okay, boss." Lucy nodded in agreement.

When it comes to manipulating people's hearts and making them work for him, Li Ang is a master who has reached the pinnacle of his field. As for whether his employees are loyal to him, he actually doesn't care.

Over the years, the only thing Li Ang has done within the global giant company is to build a fair platform and provide a suitable environment for advancement.

Rather than believing in the loyalty of a particular employee, he believes more in everyone's inner desires.

The global giant company carefully built by Li Ang is a huge and sophisticated equivalent exchange machine. Any employee who tries to start his own business by betrayal is a fool who can't figure out the accounts.

Because only by working for a giant company can one maximize one's own interests and minimize risks. This is why Li Ang is confident that every employee will be extremely loyal to him.

The profit-seeking and harm-avoiding program engraved in human genetic instinct is the root of all loyalty to the world's giants and loyalty to Le Ang.

After collecting his thoughts and dealing with important matters, Leon once again turned his attention to the center console and continued to pay attention to the progress of the Star Alliance's integration.

At this moment, Lucy, who had just sent a message to Morgan Blackhand, suddenly received a new message from Morgan.

"Boss, 70% of the captains of the UNSC Earth Defense Fleet have chosen to surrender and want to join the Universal Corporation. The remaining 30% are still waiting and watching."

"Director Morgan is currently leading his troops to receive Earth's fleet. I have already conveyed to you the information about the UNSC ships that have chosen to surrender."

It turned out that after all the core high-ranking officials of the UNSC were captured by the people of the Universal Corporation, the mentality of the Earth Defense Force, which had already been affected by public opinion, completely exploded.

As ordinary soldiers, after witnessing their marshal being captured by the enemy, they naturally no longer had any idea of ​​resisting.

Morgan Blackhand took the opportunity to reiterate the conditions for surrender, and this group of defense forces simply surrendered.

However, the situation on Earth is quite delicate right now.

After all, in the absence of a leader, it is normal for a large number of naval captains to become discouraged.

But once a new leader emerges to coordinate the chaos, there is no guarantee that the UNSC will continue to resist.

That's why Morgan Blackhand dispatched troops without stopping and rushed to the solar system to take over the UNSC's naval forces to avoid any further complications.
