Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"That's right."

After speaking, William got up and came to Ivan, raised his left hand and patted his son's right shoulder, and said in a more serious tone:

"Son, you have turned Shia from a girl into a woman, you must take responsibility, right? Get married, of course you will."

"This... I know." Ivan, who was relieved, nodded without any doubts, and said:

"Actually, Father, just now I talked with Shia about something related to this, that is, we are going to move out."

"Moving out?" Hearing Ivan's words, Halsey immediately turned around and asked in doubt:

"Isn't our house big enough for you to live in? Is it true that as the Chinese proverb says, do you forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law?"

"." Hearing Halsey's series of questioning, Ivan suddenly looked at his mother with dead fish eyes.

In the final analysis, isn't it because of Halsey's previous 'breaking in' that made Ivan firmly move out of this villa?

Ultimately, though, the decision rests with William.

Immediately, Ivan looked at William and asked for consent again: "Father, I hope you can support me to move out."

"Uncle, I also hope to live with Ivan." Shia also summoned up her courage and said to William.

"Hum..." William also knew that Ivan wanted some privacy.

Think for a moment.

William shook his head lightly and said, "Ivan, you don't need to move, I'm going to rebuild our villa."

"Renovation?" Ivan asked suspiciously.

"It's not just a renovation." William turned his head to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, looking out at the manor square, and said softly:

"Actually, the reason why this place is decorated like this is to make you and your sister's childhood more enjoyable, so it was not expanded into a villa or manor that a top rich man should have.

It's different now, you kid already has so many girlfriends, Yelena and Li Lie are also very stable.

So it's time to dismantle this villa and expand it. Living in such a small house is a bit out of status.

After all, even Constantine lives in a palace-style, our Russell family cannot be compared. "

"Since this is the case... I know."

After listening to William's explanation, Ivan also gave up the idea of ​​moving away.

Ivan once went to her home with Nova, and he also deeply realized what it means that a residence is bigger than a palace.

Nova's home is as big as Buckingham Palace in England, with hundreds of rooms and hundreds of servants. It is indeed the scale that a large capitalist family should have.

On the other hand, the Russell family, who are part-time workers every Friday and Monday, will come to the villa on time at ten o'clock in the morning to clean up.

There are only a few small houses in the manor outside the villa, which are for more than a dozen ghost agents who protect the safety of the manor.

You must know that before this, there were only John, Myron, and Karl in charge of William's family, and there was only one house in the previous manor.

"That's right." At this moment, William looked at Shia and asked with a kind smile:

"Shia, if it is arranged for you and Nova to marry Ivan on the same day, do you agree?"

"Ah?!" Both Ivan and Shia didn't react.

William continued to explain: "No matter what happens to Constantine, he will marry our Russell family, saying that he is swearing to the death to complete the marriage task given by my grandfather.

I can see that the relationship between the three of you has gotten along very well in recent years, I think... Shia, you shouldn't refuse, right? "

"I... I have no objection." Shia muttered in a low voice, but soon became confused again:

"But uncle, if Ivan marries me and Nova at the same time, wouldn't that be a crime of bigamy?"

"Yes, father, and... why don't you ask my opinion?" Ivan also echoed.

"It's simple." William waved his hands indifferently and said:

"Haffa City is where Umbrella belongs. Everything is subject to Umbrella's customized regulations and laws. It is not difficult at all to make the Russell family special."

After speaking, William ignored the opinions of the two juniors, and insisted directly:

"Okay, that's it. I'll make a date with Andre and Constantine later."

"." (x2)

Ivan and Shia looked at each other, but they could only follow William's arrangement.

Especially Ivan.

This guy is a bit resistant on the surface, but in fact he acted for Shia, which can make Shia feel more at ease.

After all, for Ivan, polygamy is a matter of great benefit and no harm!

But Ivan is still young after all, and he doesn't know the classic Chinese saying "There are only plowed cows, but no plowed land".

…

February 1, 2027.

It has been two full months since Umbrella held a press conference and announced that mankind had won the war.

During this time.

The five large-scale warship groups commanded by Admiral Mike O'Donahue, after absorbing the fleet and troops led by the Sangheili, their overall military strength and strength have skyrocketed.

And reassembled in the five main star regions of Orion's Cantilever, and began to move towards the star regions outside the Cantilever, while cleaning up the remnants of the Star Alliance, they began to occupy the original colonial planets of the Star Alliance.

At this point, mankind has started the period of the "Great Crusade".

The five battleship groups headed by the Umbrella fleet are the main force of the expeditionary force, and are only responsible for crushing and advancing along the way.

The aftermath work is handed over to Umbrella and various departments of the UNSC to take over and deal with it, including the Sangheili as allies.

Mention the Sangheili.

Within two months, hundreds of millions of Sangheili rushed to the galaxy.

After all, the city of Fraternity, the original capital of the Star Alliance, has been captured by humans and is now staying at the Lagrangian point of the earth, which is why it has attracted a large number of Sangheili tribes.

If we count the Jackals, Grunts, and Bingfeng who followed the Sangheili, then the number of alien races that came to the solar system has reached at least one billion.

Thousands of CAS, CCS, and CRS warships, as well as many former Covenant civilian ships, also gathered in the solar system.

There are many purposes of these alien races, but the unified goal is 'immigration'.

Returning and inhabiting the city of fraternity formerly known as Sanctuary, while also wishing to inhabit colonized planets and asteroids such as Earth and Mars within the solar system.

For this reason, William naturally agreed to the immigration applications of these alien races.

And he also used the confidentiality agreement and the temporary contract of the engineering team to let the weak races sign it, and at the cost of free work for half a year, in exchange for the right to live in the human world.

For warships of various levels such as CAS, CCS, and CRS, William left a third of them stationed in the solar system.

The remaining two-thirds are scattered in the star areas controlled by the Human Elite Alliance in proportion to ensure the safety of these star areas and prepare for the battle group.

For example, the Sangheili tribe, known as a fighting nation, was fooled by William and Saom, and the high-level commanders of the Sangheili signed a confidentiality agreement and incorporated it into the human battle system.

In order to further enhance the military strength of mankind and the combat power in the face of abnormal phenomena, but the combat system still needs to be divided in detail.
