"General Ostrovsky! I want to ask about Reaper Civilization!"
"General! May I ask if there are any other truths that Umbrella has not revealed?"
"General!"
After hearing what Andre said, all the reporters and representatives who were sitting in their seats stood up and asked Andre for more details.
"Everyone!" The veteran didn't seem to give any face to these 'booing' guys. He had a straight face and said sternly in a voice that could overwhelm everyone present:
"Please be quiet! Don't you know the quality of the venue?!"
"..."(xN)
Seeing a veteran who was not angry at all get angry, the chaotic venue suddenly became extremely quiet. People also sat in their seats and raised a hand to express their desire to ask questions.
"..." Andre remained silent for a few seconds before his face returned to its original state.
Then the veteran Vision glanced at everyone present, and finally saw a female reporter sitting on his left hand side who was more pleasing to the eye. He raised his hand and waved to the female reporter, and slowly said:
"Madam, it's up to you to ask me questions first."
"Thank you, General." The female reporter stood up, looked at Andre and asked:
"General, I want to know whether those giant mechas belong to you Umbrella Corporation or the UNSC? Or were they jointly developed by both parties?"
"Haha." At this time, Andre just chuckled and replied:
"Madam, you need to know that when our company's giant mecha project was initiated, the UNSC did not exist yet, so it cannot be a joint venture between the two parties.
As for your first question, that is that the technology of the giant mecha is unique to Umbrella, and the mecha can only be bound to our company's Super Soldier.
Therefore, I can tell you clearly that the giant mecha only belongs to us, Umbrella."
After it was confirmed that the mecha only belonged to Umbrella, most of the people present changed their expressions upon hearing this, because this meant that Umbrella completely possessed military strength that surpassed the UNSC.
But...
There are also many people who are accustomed to it. After all, Umbrella announced five fleets a few years ago, and each fleet has a Infinity-class battleship as the flagship.
The firepower of just one Infinity-class warship can crush the three UNSC fleets, not to mention the five Umbrella ships, and Infinity-class warship is not alone.
Therefore, judging from the public data from a few years ago, Umbrella has a military strength comparable to that of the UNSC.
What's more, 80% or even more of the UNSC's armaments are produced by Umbrella.
"General..." The female reporter slowed down and continued to ask:
"You are just a company, but you have a regular military structure and your own fleet. You still have 'Superman' soldiers and Giant Mecha...
It can be said that your company's military strength has completely surpassed that of the UNSC, so we need to worry about your...
Your..."
Speaking of this, the female reporter was a little speechless because she was afraid to point it out publicly.
"Our dictatorship?" Andre said it nonchalantly, and showed a kinder smile:
"Everyone, please rest assured that if we wanted to engage in authoritarianism, we had the capital as early as ten years ago.
But our Umbrella company's purpose is 'people-oriented', and our boss must have stated this purpose through various news media and programs a few years ago.
It is precisely because our company has a technological level that far exceeds that of other countries in the world, so we must lead the whole world to "move forward", and we are also secretly protecting all mankind.
As the famous saying in Marvel Comics acquired by our company goes, 'The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'.
If this still doesn't convince everyone here, let me give you the simplest example, that is, if we want to establish a dictatorship, why would we sell space battleships?
Right?
And as early as more than ten years ago, United Nations, the predecessor of the UNSC, and Umbrella both confirmed the existence of Alien Civilization.
Since there is a common racial enemy, human beings should not fight among themselves. On the contrary, they should work together to protect the earth and various colonies.
What Umbrella and the UNSC are doing now is to protect humanity."
Faced with Andre's rhetoric, no one could refute it.
Because what Andre said is true. The most direct way to achieve dictatorship is to not sell various high-end technologies and weapons to the outside world.
"So..." Then, Andre looked at the female reporter again and asked in a calmer tone:
"Any other questions?"
"No... no more." The female reporter shook her head and then sat back in her seat.
"General." Another middle-aged reporter immediately raised his left hand.
Andre also waved his hand to the middle-aged reporter and said, "Please tell me."
"Thank you, General." The middle-aged reporter stood up, looked at Andre and said:
"What I want to ask the general is, in the video you showed us before, the Sparta soldier who underwent military training and surgical transformation...
At what age did he enter your military base?
And don't you think you should keep a child in his early ten years away from his parents, undergo military training day and night, and also give them this kind of... this kind of transformation surgery that goes against God's will?
Won't your conscience be condemned? More importantly, this is already against the law."
"Oh?" William, who was watching the entire live broadcast on the endless account, sighed when he saw this reporter who had a kind face but was unforgiving in his words:
"Good guy, even God has moved out."
Andre, who was standing on the podium at this time, also had the same idea as his 'biological son' in his heart, and was more radical, but he didn't show it too much on the outside.
"Haha." Andre still chuckled, stared at the middle-aged reporter and said softly:
"Let's put God aside and talk about the law first.
Umbrella only trained and taught the genetically matched 'Children after consulting her parents and 'Children's own wishes, and also provided a large amount of financial subsidies to the family. 'Children has holidays every year to reunite with her parents.
Our Umbrella army is a private army, not to mention there is no evidence that these children joined our army when they were underage. You can compare that military base to a Boy Scout training camp.
In addition, 'Children was already over 18 years old when the surgery was performed. If you don't believe it, I can directly call up the files at that time.
Also!"
As he spoke, Andre's tone suddenly changed. He looked at the middle-aged reporter with disdain in his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"'Children's parents, and 'Children himself, have never complained, but you, the beneficiary, are here to worry about others.
To put it more vulgarly, meddling in other people's business is boring, right?"
