Chapter 454 Prisoner Disposal and Special Communications
When Atlas was just established and was still a "grassroots team", discussions at meetings would eventually turn into Amber's "one-man show".
It was just a passive "one-man show".
Because the others didn't have any ideas at the time, they simply chose to play badly and listen to Amber, and developed stumblingly all the way.
But later, as Atlas continued to expand in size and gradually absorbed a lot of "talents", this kind of discussion meeting became truly meaningful.
After everyone found that Amber really considered their opinions, they were more and more willing to put forward their own ideas at the meeting.
Just like now, after Amber finished talking about her plan and asked others to talk about their ideas, Ceris, the human resources director who was poached from Alanita and also a member of the Atlas Group's elf employees, spoke first, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she knew that she was a good seedling for "hanging street lamps".
"Boss, regarding the issue of recruiting prisoners, I don't think we need to accept all those who are willing to stay.
Most of these prisoners are crew members, HCP pilots, and marines. But I know that you will not let them continue to work on the ship for the time being due to factors such as loyalty, so many of the prisoners who have been recruited will have to be transferred.
But this involves another problem-we don't have so many vacant positions to accommodate them for the time being, and departments other than the combat fleet will not need so many people in a short period of time.
So I suggest that after the two screening items of "confirming willingness" and "verifying identity", we should add a "competition for the job" link. For the same position, we only need the best people, and those who fail the competition will be sent back to the Federation with others.
As you said, Atlas does not support idle people, and we also do not support useless people, let alone a charity organization~"
The suggestion made by Ceres skillfully and lightly was recognized by many people present. Compared with Amber's plan, the handling plan of this human resources director sounds cold and impersonal, but it is indeed more appropriate from the perspective of corporate operations.
"Hmm, it is indeed more suitable than my plan, and I must admit that I am a bit 'kind' sometimes, so in this case, you 'professionals' are really needed to be the bad guys."
After listening to Ceris's suggestion, Amber nodded in agreement, and continued to say:
"Does anyone else have any other opinions? If not, just follow the general direction proposed by Ceris."
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one else intended to speak, Amber looked at Ceris.
"Then this matter will be handed over to you, but the HCP pilots and marines among the prisoners will not be transferred for the time being. These two are units that are currently in demand by the combat units. If they are willing to stay, they will be dismantled and sent to the combat units. They will be trained for a period of time. As for the specific matters, you can communicate with Hogg and Cleves."
"I understand, Boss, I will go to meet with them after the meeting." Ceris nodded, and had no objection to Amber's arrangement.
After the fate of the prisoners of war of the joint fleet was quickly decided, Isabel, who had been silent, suddenly spoke as if she remembered something:
"Amber, did we forget that there was another group of people?"
"Who?"
"The prisoners of the 'Deep Diver' special forces, and Dr. Mephisto and several surviving technicians." Isabel said slowly.
"We have to forget about this."
Hearing Isabel's words, Amber also patted his forehead. He had really forgotten about these federal special forces units, psychic agents, and Dr. Mephisto, a person with a special identity, who were detained in solitary confinement.
Now that Isabel mentioned it, Amber found that these people were indeed "hot potatoes".
No matter the mission information they received or what they saw and heard after entering the data center, they would more or less let them know some secrets of Atlas.
Especially Dr. Mephisto, he basically knew the ins and outs of all this, so Amber would not let him leave no matter what, even if he was under house arrest in this asteroid fortress forever.
As for the ‘deep divers’ and those psychic agents, these are the elite special warfare units of the Federation, and their loyalty is far higher than that of ordinary soldiers of the Federation, so the hope of ‘turning’ them over is basically zero.
Thinking of this, Amber turned her head and looked at the two ‘former’ lieutenant generals of the Federation beside her. As senior officers of the Federation Army, they might be able to provide some suggestions.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. You two have come to an area that you are familiar with. Regarding the disposal of the 'Deep Divers' and the psychic agents, how about you tell us your thoughts?"
Guterres and Van Fleet did not expect that Amber would ask them about their thoughts on their first meeting, but Guterres reacted quickly and said:
"Both are elite special forces of the Federation, so it is basically impossible to recruit them like ordinary troops."
"That's right." Van Fleet also continued with Guterres' words:
"There is no case in history where these special forces surrendered or were recruited by the enemies of the Federation. In the few cases in the history of war where the 'Deep Divers' were captured by the rebels, the final outcome was either that these special forces committed suicide or were killed by the rebels.
There was no situation where the Federation tried to rescue them, nor was there any situation where they 'surrendered' to the enemy. "
"That's basically equivalent to being a 'dead soldier'?"
"That's understandable."
Amber couldn't help but pursed his lips. Although Guterres and Van Fleet's answers were basically what he expected, when this fact was placed in front of him, he still felt a little regretful.
This is as depressing as when playing a strategy game and capturing the enemy's elite units or generals, but the message "unable to surrender" appears.
Under normal circumstances, Amber would choose to directly kill these units that cannot be surrendered. After all, not only occupying the establishment, but also consuming supplies.
However, in the game, you can make this kind of decision without any psychological burden, but when it comes to making this kind of decision in reality, it is not as simple as just clicking the 'confirm' button.
"Tsk, this is really troublesome. Let's continue to detain them separately. At the same time, we should strengthen the supervision of psychic agents and maintain psychic suppression 24 hours a day."
In the end, Amber couldn't make up her mind to deal with these people directly. On the one hand, the decision of 'killing prisoners' was really not that easy to make, and historically, those who liked killing prisoners seemed to have no good ending.
On the other hand, Amber had a feeling that she might need to use them in the future.
As decisions were made on several important matters, the meeting ended quickly. Other people participating in the remote meeting did not exchange greetings or chat. Instead, they left the meeting after saying hello to Amber. .
After Isabel also went offline, Amber stood up and moved around. Just as he was about to remind the two elderly 'new employees' around him that it was best to stand up and walk around after sitting for a long time, his personal terminal suddenly A new message has been received.
This was a communication transferred through a special line. The originator of the communication was a person Amber was familiar with but had not contacted for a long time - Franklin Abraham.
Amber was actually a little surprised when he saw this name. He really didn't expect that this 'aspiring young man' would take the initiative to contact him after Atlas completely withdrew from the Lubion system.
But the next moment, Amber suddenly thought of something, and then answered the communication with a smile.
"Oh~ Mr. Franklin, you are really fine. Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"
"Mr. Rebil, I need... no, the people of the Lubion system need your and Atlas's assistance!"
