Sui Bian returned to the bedroom and sat at the computer desk, facing the old-fashioned screen, and continued to raise his doubts to Empress Hong and Empress Bai.
1. What is Umbrella’s military strength?
Second, how rich is Umbrella?
Regarding the military aspect, the Red Queen still answered orally in an emotionless tone, and at the same time displayed relevant documents and pictures on the screen, allowing Sui Bian to have a more intuitive understanding of Umbrella's current situation.
Umbrella has a total of 2,744 armed personnel and a total of 77 reserves.
The main armed forces are divided into three parts. According to the equipment and elite level, the order from low to high is as follows;
Umbrella's armed security,
Umbrella Biohazard Emergency Response Team (ubcs),
Umbrella Rapid Reaction Force (uss).
There are 2,544 armed security personnel, who are usually retired soldiers or retired police officers. They are responsible for protecting Umbrella's assets around the world and have contracts and confidentiality agreements with regular employees.
UBCS has four combat platoons with a total of 120 people. Most of the members are mercenaries, war criminals and retired soldiers.
Judging purely from equipment, salary and elite level, ubcs crushes armed security in every aspect.
But in fact, ubcs is just a 'disposable product' for Umbrella, used to test actual combat data of organic biological weapons (b.o.w.), and ubcs has no loyalty at all.
Finally, there are uss and reserves.
USS is the company's most elite private army, its members are veterans from various countries. Even Umbrella's senior employees cannot read any files related to USS.
There are currently 80 people in four teams.
The number of reservists is uncertain, currently 77. They train on Rockford Island all year round. When the USS encounters casualties, the reservists will replace the USS members who are killed or injured.
In the archives, Sui Bian also discovered many familiar faces.
Such as Carlos Oliveira, Michelle Victor, Nikolay Genoviev and—— who appeared in "Resident Evil 3"
‘Hank’.
Carlos, Victor and Nicola, Sui Bian was extremely impressed by the three of them. After all, "Resident 3" was the second biochemical game he had come into contact with.
The remake of "Resident Evil 3" was also in stock, but after it took him four hours to complete it...
rnm’s card bitch.
Although the Red Queen made it clear that UBCS is Umbrella's one-time 'product', there are also many people like Carlos and Victor.
Carlos in many game versions tries his best to rescue citizens, ensure the safety of his teammates, and is loyal and reliable.
Victor is also a good platoon leader who uses self-destruction to defeat the pursuers.
In the original plot, there was an unnamed ubcs who was still protecting the little girl in his arms until his death.
However, guys like Nikola who only care about money account for the majority.
And 'Hank'...
If the protagonists are based on strength and mainly on luck, then Hank is an absolutely ruthless person who is based on strength and supplemented by luck.
Hank first appeared in the fourth survivor mode of "Resident Evil 2". Players need to control Hank wearing an 'Octopus Head' mask to escape from the underground research institute in Raccoon City.
What you have to face along the way are zombies, zombie dogs, crows, lickers, giant spiders, plants, grubs and tyrants.
Sui Bian admitted that he was handicapped and could not pass the original version when he was a child. The remake also requires hacking to pass.
But the levels in the game can be repeated, but in reality you only have one life.
In such a harsh environment, Hank can still successfully escape, which proves how powerful this god of death is.
They are Hank's teammates, and his subordinates will be miserable. When encountering a mission with a narrow escape, in most cases, Hank will survive alone.
Later.
Sui Bian, who checked the files and pictures, also judged from the attire of UBCS and USS that this world was not only leaning towards games, but also a reset version of the game.
‘It seems there is no more wolf team.’ Sui Bian thought to himself.
The codenames of the four teams in the uss file are alpha, omicron, epsilon and zeta.
Each team specializes in different areas.
Alpha: Recover important assets of the company, or secretly plunder important assets of enemy companies.
Omicron: Assassinating senior executives of rival companies or government officials who are detrimental to Umbrella's development.
Epsilon: Rescue board members who were held hostage and kidnapped.
Zeta: Responsible for supporting the other three teams.
Umbrella's annual funding for private armies amounts to US$430 million.
Four hundred million in 1998...
Moreover, USS occupies the majority of the funds, and has all the top-notch individual weapons and equipment, as well as all kinds of land, sea and air vehicles.
When USS is performing missions in Africa, the Middle East and other regions, it even has the authority to call in aerial gunships and bomb.
Well...
As expected of Umbrella.
Next is 'How rich are you?'.
It’s a very vulgar question, but it’s also something Sui Bian wanted to figure out before he traveled through time.
Empress Bai, who was responsible for explaining this aspect, also used uploading files and information to the computer, and oral narration to help Sui Bian solve his doubts.
Her voice is as cold as the Red Queen, with almost no emotion, and her answers are also very rigid.
Through Queen Bai, he finally understood the scale of Umbrella and what extent it had reached.
True wealth can rival a country.
The industries Umbrella is involved in include the production and sales of chemicals and drugs, industrial machinery production, digital products, health food, transportation industry, tourism, entertainment film and television, etc.
In this world, Umbrella is the first company with a market value of more than 600 billion U.S. dollars, and the current total market value is 650 billion U.S. dollars.
The information also mentioned that the United States' GDP in 1997 was US$8 trillion, accounting for 27.26% of the world's total.
Although the company's market value and gross production value are not the same thing at all, it also proves that Umbrella is a 'behemoth' with both strength and reputation in the eyes of the public.
Privately, Umbrella also builds mining areas and oil fields in Africa and the Middle East, and sells the extracted resources.
The popular colonization and plundering in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries caused a large amount of money and resources to fall into the hands of European nobles and families.
Among the three founders of Umbrella, Spencer and Alexander Asifot are European aristocrats. These two invested money to establish the company, and Marcus, who has a PhD in biology, is a technical investor.
In fact, Umbrella is the epitome of Western countries, relying on occupation and monopoly to make huge profits, and also claims to make the world more 'free'.
Free nmlgb.
Putting aside the above-mentioned industries, Umbrella has purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment at extremely low prices since the collapse of the Soviet Union, selling them to Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and also recruited many Soviet weapons experts.
Energy.
Medicine.
Arms.
Umbrella is an absolute giant in these three categories, so no wonder it is targeted.
——'A big tree attracts the wind and shakes the tree, and a person's reputation is high and his name is mournful.'
As for its research institutes, facilities and military bases...
There were so many, Sui Bian had no choice but to ask Empress Bai to create a new document, listing the important assets that involved a lot of manpower and material resources.
