Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Q4 of 2023.

At this time, more than 90% of the countries have joined the UNSC, a community of human interests, and their cooperation with Umbrella has deepened.

Although William Russell, the owner of Umbrella, has been using generous conditions to persuade all countries to join the UNSC.

However, some countries have deep-rooted ideology, because of their religion and beliefs, or have extreme grievances with UNSC member states, so they still refuse to join the UNSC and implement a closed-door policy, completely independent of UNSC and the world.

In the end, William Russell gave up persuading these stubborn countries to join the UNSC. After all, countries with abundant strength and financial resources in the world have already joined, and these small and weak countries are not bad.

Moreover, the current member states of the UNSC have completely walked out of the haze of the economic crisis caused by the attack of the Titans four years ago.

All the coastal cities that were attacked were also hired by various governments to rebuild Umbrella's engineering teams in a short period of time, and their scale, technology, and prosperity were far beyond the previous ones.

During these four years, the number of newborns on the earth and the near and far colonies skyrocketed, and humans ushered in the second wave of colonization.

The territory of mankind has covered the entire Orion cantilever. Just like the Reach star, which can survive without the protection of the dome and modify the atmosphere, the UNSC has occupied and developed 27 planets.

The UNSC also has 414 terrestrial planets that built dome cities, and there are countless asteroid colonies and mining areas.

Regardless of the population in the solar system, after more than ten years of immigration and breeding, the population of the colony will exceed the 1.5 billion mark on August 1, 2023.

within the solar system.

However, due to the wave of colonization, the population of the earth has not increased but decreased, from the original 8.5 billion to 7 billion.

Ninety percent of the lost 1.5 billion people were in the remote colonies.

The remaining 10% are colonies in the solar system such as Mars, Titan, the "Moon City", and the Moon Dome City, which are also colonies to which Umbrella belongs.

After successfully surviving the various crises brought about by the Titans, human beings have entered a new era, where everything is thriving, prosperous, and pursuing technology.

While people in the society on the bright side enjoy safety, prosperity and happiness, the Umbrella troops on the back side are still fighting to control and contain abnormal phenomena.

However, since the Sirius 4 alien incident in 2019, neither the earth nor the colonies have been attacked by large-scale anomalous phenomena in the past four years.

Most of the anomalous manifestations are Safe, and very few are Euclid. It can be said that there have been no large-scale human casualties in the past four years.

In addition, human beings have passed the period of economic crisis, and the improvement of technological level and happiness index has allowed the population to grow by leaps and bounds.

As for the UNSC, apart from the scattered battleships and supply fleets, the UNSC has thirty-three conventional fleets.

The UNSC's conventional fleet includes one to three Phoenix-class aircraft carriers, at least four battleships, at least a dozen heavy frigates, and various supply ships and medical ships.

As of the middle of 2023, the total number of UNSC warships has exceeded 1,500, and all of them are provided by Umbrella's shipyard.

Because there is a large amount of titanium ore on Reach Star, which is enough to support the continued mining and utilization of humans for nearly a thousand years, so Umbrella can continuously get orders from the UNSC, and thus completely monopolizes the human arms industry.

Also because of the colonization agreement signed with the UNSC, Umbrella's colonies in the human territory are still satellite colonies of Mars, Titan, the moon and the "Moon City", as well as mining colonies in the asteroid belt.

But for the human regime in the solar system, Umbrella's benefits created by these colonies alone are worth about 1.7% of the total colonies.

Counting the parts of Greece, Hafa, Manhattan, the Middle East, and Japan that have been acquired by Umbrella on the earth, the total population that completely belongs to Umbrella's command will reach 160 million in mid-2023, and the number Still rising.

However, after the complete rise of Umbrella's armaments in the UNSC, the conventional forces not only did not continue to expand, but instead maintained the size of 2019.

Five fleets with Endless-class battleships, and one containment fleet composed of three Phoenix-class aircraft carriers.

The Umbrella marines deployed in the fleets and colonies have a total strength of about 500,000 soldiers.

The standard individual equipment of the Marine Corps is mechanical skeletons, sealed combat uniforms, composite titanium alloy armor, and pulse series rifles.

As one of Umbrella's bottom combat forces, the Marine Corps has the largest number and weak combat power, and does not have any form of energy shield system.

Because the energy shield needs individual nuclear fusion reactors to support it, but it is impossible to prepare hundreds of thousands of sets of individual equipment with nuclear fusion reactors, even with Umbrella's funds, scale and manpower. Tan.

so…

The Umbrella Marine Corps still has the title of "Ma Run Fourth Class" within the company.

But it is precisely because of the large base of the Marine Corps, the complex composition of personnel, and the uneven combat experience and other reasons, the elite selected from the Marine Corps are the "mainstay" of the company's combat power.

The elite units belonging to the Marine Corps are Hell paratroopers and heavy soldiers.

The total number of Hell paratroopers is 12,000, of which the number of elite elites, such as the special companies like Rabid Shark, is about 3,600.

The individual equipment of the Hell paratroopers is far superior to that of the Marine Corps in terms of overall defense, functionality, and battery life.

Special companies are equipped with an AT energy shield system, which is used to support UBCS in the first place to solve abnormal phenomena that are extremely difficult to contain.

Because of the establishment of the Astartes project, the heavy armor stopped the production of CMC power armor a few years ago, and the continuous expansion of personnel,

At present, the number of heavy soldiers is about 6,000, and they are deployed in the six fleets of Umbrella.

The number of UBCS troops is stable at about 8,000. They have improved AAES III, equipped with Gauss, pulse and plasma weapons according to the combat situation, and are used to contain extremely difficult anomalies.

Among them, 4,300 UBCS were concentrated and deployed in the containment fleet to deal with the abnormal phenomena in the earth and the solar system in the first place.

The 2,500 UBCS were evenly deployed to Umbrella's five fleets, and were responsible for providing advice on containing anomalous phenomena to the Marine Corps and the elite Marine Corps.

The other 1,200 UBCS elites are the Omega (Ω) special forces led by Colonel Andrew Mike, responsible for the safety of the space containment center, ensuring that the contained anomalies can always be kept in their respective cells.

Until now, the space containment center has not had a containment breach under the supervision of the Omega force.

Of course, UBCS also exists in various research centers, hives, and military bases.
