Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"."

After seeing the individual video and Andre's explanation, the reporters present fell silent for a while.

As early as two months ago, there were many posts on the Internet such as "Tall and thin aliens help humans", "Humans seem to be allied with tall and thin races", and there are many related photos and videos.

But many people still hold a skeptical attitude, more of a psychological hatred.

The mimicry race a few months ago gave humans a certain amount of aversion to alien forces. Coupled with the fact that the Star Alliance slaughtered tens of millions of humans, the resistance became even stronger.

But the fact is that the elite family has withdrawn from the Star Alliance since the start of the war, and has also assisted humans in protecting the colony.

"Everyone..." At this time, Soom suddenly opened his mouth and said to the reporters present:

"Our Sangheili family was also massacred by the Star Alliance. Tens of millions of people died in the Star Alliance. We and you humans are the ones who have suffered persecution.

‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend. '

This sentence is equally applicable in the universe.

In addition, we have fought side by side with your human fighters, and we already have a deep friendship and admiration.

If there is a greater crisis in the future, we Sangheili will still face it together with you humans. "

"All right."

After Sa Oom finished speaking, Andre took the words with a wave of his hand, looked around at all the reporters present, and said softly:

"Do you have any other questions?"

"."

All the reporters shook their heads slightly. It seemed that Andre's previous answer had already solved most of the problems in society and the Internet.

"very good."

Seeing this, Andre nodded with satisfaction, sorted out the speech on the podium, and continued:

"Next, Umbrella will join forces with Terra Enterprise and the Chamber of Commerce founded by Terra Enterprise to revive the colony's economy.

At the same time, we will have immigration policies for alien races such as the Sangheili, Kigyar (Jackals), and Angoy (Grunts).

Since the current Covenant is still a threat, we will launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Covenant and strive to wipe out the remnants of the Covenant within two years.

During this period, we will also gradually annex star regions beyond the Orion Cantilever, in order to consolidate and expand our strength.

Please everyone..."

…

at the same time.

Inside the villa at Russell Manor by the Sea.

The first floor living room.

"Please everyone, and the people in front of the screen, have confidence in Umbrella and the UNSC, we will bring society and order back on track as soon as possible.

and also…"

Just look at the old-fashioned large-screen LCD TV, which is broadcasting Andre's press conference in real time.

The father and son William and Ivan were both wearing black home short-sleeves and shorts, sitting on the comfortable sofa with a paralyzed appearance.

As the eldest daughter, Yelena, wearing casual black suspenders and shorts, was sitting on William's right hand with a lazy look.

After all, it's winter, and staying in a home with floor heating will inevitably make people sleepy after lunch.

Coupled with the fact that the current crisis has been lifted, the nerves that have been tense for several months can be relaxed, so it is natural to stay at home and rest.

"Ah... ah..."

In addition to Andre's speech on the screen, there is also a baby whining, as if to attract the attention of others.

I saw Halsey wearing a loose white sweater and loose gray trousers, sitting on the side sofa with Arthur wrapped in his arms.

"Mom, why don't I hug him?"

At this time, Yelena stood up, came to Halsey's side, and stretched out her hand to take Arthur.

"Well, that's fine."

Seeing Arthur's frown slightly, Halsey also handed Arthur to Yelena.

Afterwards, Yelena took Arthur, and skillfully embraced her little brother, and sat beside Halsey.

"Hey, don't make trouble, don't make trouble." And Yelena coaxed Arthur softly.

"Ah...hehe~..."

Arthur, who felt a little uncomfortable at first, laughed when he entered Yelena's arms, and was soon coaxed by his sister.

"Father...didn't I expect that pungent older sister of mine could turn into a good wife and mother?"

Seeing that Yelena was so proficient in coaxing the child to sleep, Ivan suddenly started from Ge You's paralyzed appearance, and said to William with an expression of disbelief.

"Hey, stinky brother, if you want to die, just say so."

Seeing that Arthur had successfully fallen asleep, Yelena turned her gentle face, and immediately raised her right hand and clenched a fist to threaten Ivan.

"Hehe." Halsey, who was sitting beside Yelena, said to her daughter with a smile on her face:

"Yelena, since Arthur was born, you have been with him for the longest time, it's really hard for you."

"Yes." William, who was still paralyzed by Ge You, nodded in deep agreement, looked at Yelena and said:

"My precious daughter has finally grown up and can take good care of your brother now. I'm proud of you, Yelena."

Yelena replied with some embarrassment: "Thank you...Dad, Mom."

"Okay." Halsey got up and started toward the stairs.

"Yelena, please carry Arthur with me to the second floor, I'm afraid he'll catch a cold sleeping in the living room."

"yes."

Yelena responded lightly, then carefully picked up Arthur, and followed Halsey to the master bedroom on the second floor.

At that time.

Only William and his son were left in the living room.

Except for Andre's live broadcast from the TV, the living room suddenly became deserted, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Cough..." Ivan coughed lightly first, and was about to get up and go back to the room.

see.

"Eh? What are you doing?" William asked immediately.

"That...Father, I'm going to go back to the house and take a nap, is that okay?" Ivan replied with a guilty conscience.

"Of course, but..."

William ended Ge You's paralyzed posture, sat upright, took a drink from the water glass on the low table, moistened his throat and said:

"But why do I feel that you are a little hypocritical? Are you hiding something from me? Or are you afraid that I will do something to you?"

"This...no." Ivan shook his head.

Then Ivan sat back on the sofa again, took a deep breath, organized his language, and told William:

"Father, I want to ask you something."

"Oh?" Hearing this, William immediately became interested, and asked with narrowed eyes:

"whats the matter?"

"That's it..." After hesitating for a moment, Ivan finally sighed and said:

"Hey... it's father... can you accept a daughter-in-law who is older than you and your mother? And it's a lot older... the kind that's super old."

"Hey!" After hearing Ivan's words, William pretended to be surprised.

But soon, William approached Ivan back to normal, and whispered with a smirk on his face:

"You boy, do you want Athena to marry into our Russell family? Huh?"

"You know everything?! Father??"

Ivan never expected that his father would have already guessed the matter between him and Athena.
