?　　Hafa time: month.

　　 Location: The flagship bridge of the containment fleet.

　　 Andre, dressed in the uniform of the supreme general of Umbrella’s army, as well as a group of school-level officers, and Athena, who has already contained the fleet, are all standing by the center console showing a holographic image.

　　 Equipped with artificial artificial intelligence, Tina stood beside Andre and explained the situation of the Middle East war to everyone present.

　　 "General, everyone, according to the information shared by the UNSC with us and the intelligence I have collected, the total number of rebels is close to 540,000.

　　If you count terrorist organizations and militias that cooperate with the rebels, the number may be close to 700,000, or even more.

　　The forces of the rebels are mainly concentrated in large cities with large populations such as Adana, Aleppo, Homs, and Damascus.

　　The cities with concentrated forces are relatively close to each other, and most of the rebel forces are scattered in these large cities.

　　 Deep in Iraq, Baghdad is far from the rebel front, but the number of rebels remains at around 80,000, and there are millions of people stranded in Baghdad.

　　 It is certain that two-thirds of the rebel promoters were shot in Baghdad and relied on a large number of civilians as ‘hostages’ to negotiate with the UNSC. "

　　 "Negotiating?" an officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel asked:

　　 "What does this group of rebels want? Even if there are nearly a million people, facing the UNSC's huge fleet and nearly endless source of troops, it is simply overwhelming."

　　"The rebels carried out an armed rebellion and a group of fooled civilians took hostages because of the problem of the adoption of new energy sources by countries in the world, which led to a sharp drop in the purchase and price of oil.

　　 In order to threaten the UNSC countries to buy 200 billion barrels of oil, and the price of each barrel must be seventy dollars, otherwise the price will be the rebels and tens of millions of civilians fighting the UNSC desperately to the end. "

　　 Tina is not as emotionally rich as Cortana and Serena, and she explained the reason for everyone with a blank face.

　　 "Hey!" Hearing that it was for money, not for ‘fairness’, the lieutenant colonel said with disdain:

　　 "The rebel leaders are already a group of local tyrants, but they are not satisfied."

　　 Tina was silent for a few seconds without comment, and then continued:

　　"As for the main reason civilians support the rebels, it is because the leaders of the rebels have hyped up over the years. Once the UNSC unified policy is popularized, people must accept pork food.

　　 Together with these rebel leaders, they were originally the leading class of the country, and the local network and news were also controlled by the leaders. That's why the current situation was created. "

　　 "Hmph." Andre, who hadn't said a word, couldn't help but snorted coldly:

　　"I have been dealing with those anomalies for a long time, and it feels like human beings are the "abnormal phenomena" of the earth, and I can’t get free every day.

　　 In the first and second world wars in the last century, he finally made peace, and he came to the cold war again! The spies come and spies!

　　 The end of the century ushered in the end of the Cold War, and the United States began to be unable to idle again, adding to other countries' congestion all the time, what a really special Suka. "

　　"..."

　　 A group of officers nodded silently, especially when Andre was talking about the United States, the nodded a little bit more.

　　 After all, the lower half of Andre’s officers are veterans who have participated in conventional wars, veterans of the ‘battle nation’. Born to have no good feelings about America.

　　 "Hey..." Athena sighed softly.

　　 She has seen too much history of war. If it hadn't been for Umbrella's appearance, she would have been deeply disappointed in mankind, and prepared to leave this earth torn by mankind completely.

　　 "General." At this time, Tina said with a slap in the face:

　　 "A former U.S. major general who is now a UNSC lieutenant general once proposed that without considering the safety of those civilians, he would directly use the fleet to carry out saturation bombing to resolve the rebels.

　　 But it was directly vetoed by the overwhelming majority of UNSC officials and generals. Now UNSC has begun to build up its forces and is ready to confront the rebels. "

　　 "It's the Brett of the United States again." Andre shook his head with an angry face, and then asked Tina quietly with the map image on the center console:

　　 "UNSC shares information about the rebels with us. It's not just that they want to share it. Say, what help do they want from Umbrella?"

　　 "We really need our help." Tina controlled the imaging on the center console, focused on Baghdad, and said:

　　" The UNSC stated that it would never be possible to negotiate with the rebels, and they were still preparing to destroy the rebels by force, but the rebels claimed that in addition to civilian hostages, they also had a weapon capable of destroying mankind.

　　 Because the UNSC has insufficient information about this weapon, it wants to obtain Umbrella’s technical and intelligence support to speculate what the weapon is in the hands of the rebels, or to prove the truth of the rebel’s words. "

　　 "Huh?" After hearing this, Andre finally asked with a serious expression: "Then our agent has any information?"

　　 "Yes." Tina pointed to the center of Baghdad and said:

"According to a report by an agent hiding in the Baghdad police station, in the past few years of the promotion of hydrogen engines and the establishment of UNSC, the large construction sites in the center of Baghdad continued to transport a large amount of soil, which seems to be building some kind of large underground fortress. Or research facilities."

　　 Tina said, and controlled the imaging on the center console to switch to Turkey, and marked the Gobekli stone formation not far from the city of Shanliur.

　　 said: "According to the intelligence of another agent, it is said that before the establishment of a large underground facility in Baghdad, a Turkish general who was already one of the leaders of the rebels led the guards to conduct extremely destructive excavations in the stone formations.

　　 The agent also said that during the excavation by the Guards ~lightnovelpub.net~, there were a lot of intensive gunfire, which seemed to be an attack by some kind of enemy.

　　 In the end, the general seemed to have got the ‘thing’ he wanted, and then evacuated with the remaining guards.

　　 The squadron who had died was burned on the spot by the general, so the agents were unable to obtain more detailed data.

　　 But what is certain is that in the underground facilities in Baghdad, there must be ‘things’ excavated from the Gobekli Stone Formation. "

　　Speaking of this, the image of the Gebekli stone circle appeared on the center console, and Tina's tone became a lot heavier:

　　"The Gebekli Stone Formation is estimated to be built at least 12,000 years ago, and belongs to an unsolved mystery of mankind.

　　 Due to continuous wars in the region, scholars all over the world are unable to conduct in-depth research on this ancient relic.

　　 So now, it is very likely that the rebels have some kind of extermination weapon in their hands. "

　　.

　　{The Gobekli Stone Circle is not the ancient relics compiled in this book, but the real buildings that exist in Turkey.

　　 It is indeed due to the continuous wars in the area, scholars from all walks of life are unable to obtain protection and funds, and cannot dig deeper.

　　 But what is certain is that according to the current society's perception of humans at the time, it is impossible for its technology to build such a magnificent building.

　　 The stones weigh 30 to 40 tons, and there are no quarry resources nearby. They are cut smoothly and finely carved, etc.

　　 These are just the giant stone pillars found on the first floor. }
