Andre's tone had become a little violent, but the veteran still held back from swearing.
Immediately afterwards, the lights in the conference hall dimmed a bit, and a holographic projection screen appeared, and a video was played to everyone present.
The video is the French Army of the first batch of soldiers who fought against the mimic, a Individual Camera record of one of the soldiers.
What this soldier experienced was similar to what William and others experienced when they watched the infantry platoon led by the sergeant on the bridge.
But this soldier's class fought a mimic at close range and was killed by the opponent in just a few seconds.
Subsequently, the record of Individual Camera stopped playing.
All reporters present, including the young reporter who was standing, fell into a dead silence.
The reason why netizens on the Internet, as well as many of these reporters, doubt the authenticity of the entire Alien Forces invasion is that there is no video of the exchange of fire that has been made public.
Now after witnessing what happened to a soldier, the skeptical reporters fell silent again.
"Hoo."
Seeing this, Andre chuckled unhappily and continued:
"This video is from a French infantryman who has died in battle. Without the fighting of this group of young people, our senior generals would not be able to know the special characteristics of the mimic race.
We will also publish this video on the Internet (look at a nearby camera), and welcome experts on the Internet to identify the authenticity.
Also, if you continue to spread rumors, don't blame Umbrella for suing you.
I believe that all the friends present and the netizens watching the live broadcast should know the strength of our company's legal team."
Saying that, Andre looked at the young reporter again and said:
"Young man, you have also seen some of the characteristics and strength of those mimicking creatures in Individual Camera.
Are they still considered artificial robots?"
"Uh... no." The young reporter shook his head and said, "I have already expressed my opinion."
After the young reporter finished speaking, he sat back in his seat.
"Very good." Andre nodded lightly, then Vision glanced at all the reporters present and said quietly:
"So, any further questions?"
After a few seconds of silence, a middle-aged female reporter raised her right hand.
Seeing this, Andre looked at the other party and nodded, indicating that she could stand up and speak.
The female reporter stood up, organized her words, and asked Andre:
"General, not long ago, one of my colleagues 'happily' photographed a super giant battleship in the low-Earth orbit of Reach.
Here are the photos."
Having said this, the female reporter took out a photo with her left hand.
Then a hotel staff member came forward, took the photo, and projected it on the holographic screen.
What was shown on the screen was the Star Killer-class Flagship being escorted by several Paris-class Frigate ships and undergoing commissioning.
The comparison with Paris-class highlights the extraordinary size of Star Killer-class, which is a giant even in space.
The location where this photo was taken seems to be in the observation cabin of a civilian merchant ship.
It seems that Star Killer-class did not take too many confidentiality measures when debugging.
Immediately afterwards.
The female reporter continued to ask, "General, does this new type of warship belong to your Ambrey, or does it belong to the UNSC?"
"Haha, good question." Andre laughed out loud and said:
"This battleship is the latest flagship of our Umbrella force.
Everyone should also be aware of the development process of interstellar colonization in recent years. Whether it is a battleship, a colony ship, or the first merchant ship, they are all produced by our Umbrella shipyard.
The ship in front of us is the largest and most powerful flagship currently built by mankind. We named it Star Killer-class.
To be honest, before building this battleship, there was an internal debate within our company as to whether it was necessary to build such a giant.
But the mimic Alien Civilization a few days ago, and the Reaper Civilization more than ten years ago, remind us that it is necessary to continue to improve technology and weapons.
And..." At this time, Andre raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:
"And this Star Killer-class Flagship has entered the state of Warp Drive not long ago. I think it should arrive soon."
"General."
As soon as Andre finished speaking, a female officer wearing a civilian military uniform walked up to the podium from the left.
The female officer whispered something to Andre, and then quickly left the podium.
Then Andre's smile became even brighter, and the veteran also walked off the podium and walked towards the parking platform outside the conference room.
He also said, "Everyone, Star Killer-class Flagship has arrived. Are you interested in watching it with me?"
?
After hearing what Andre said, most of the reporters present were stunned.
However, the middle-aged female reporter who asked Andre a question before did not show too much reaction. She left her position with a group of reporters very calmly and followed Andre to the parking platform on the top floor of the hotel.
This female reporter was actually arranged by Serena.
Even before this press conference, William had guessed that some people would question whether it would be too easy to fight the mimic race this time, and whether there would be any conspiracy theories or the like.
So the best solution is to announce the relatively confidential Individual Camera, and also to announce the largest tonnage warship currently built by mankind.
In fact, William asked Serena to arrange for someone to take that photo deliberately.
After all, one of the best ways to end a topic or controversy is to create a more explosive news to attract the current people's attention.
A super flagship with a length of 20 kilometers, a width of 10 kilometers, and a height of 5 kilometers. This "hot search" will dominate the Internet for at least a week or two.
The pace of society is so fast, when the time comes... who will care about the previous arguments?
Besides, the mimicry was not created by Umbrella or the UNSC, so this time the waist is naturally straight.
On the tarmac on the top floor of the hotel.
Andre stood in the center with more than a hundred reporters. The photographers also took off their machines and carried them on their shoulders. They quickly came here and pointed their lenses upward.
Although the sky above Paris is still 'occupied' by Fleet Zero.
But in less than two minutes, the much-anticipated Star Killer-class Flagship finally entered everyone's sight under all the attention.
The Super Battleship, which was in the shape of a flat cone, was already as large as the Fleet Zero, leaving the Infinity behind.
Even though it is huge in size, the Star Killer-class equipped with the unique high-power Reaper Civilization anti-gravity engine has no impact on its performance in the atmosphere.
Soon, Star Killer-class stopped one thousand meters above Paris, instantly blocking the sun's rays.
This... is the true "covering out the sky".
