"I agree to Asmantis' plan to stay on Earth temporarily." Ignoring the whispered exchanges of many colleagues, Minister Oka's words made the hall fall silent.

"Okabe?" Director Fukami looked at Minister Oka, who had a calm face, in amazement, and couldn't understand why Minister Oka, who had always been a leader of the hard-liners, would suddenly speak out in support at such a time, after all, they didn't know much about the Asmontis race.

"We humans have entered a new realm." Facing the puzzled gaze of his friend, Okabe looked very cold, and after looking around at his colleagues, he raised his voice and said, "Since human beings have begun to move towards the universe, they should be ready to communicate with the life of the alien universe, if they just blindly refuse to communicate with the alien universe race, then what is the purpose of our behavior of going out to open up the unknown world!" ”

"Human beings should not be partial to the earth itself, we are marching towards space with a simple vision and infinite exploration heart, just to develop human civilization, the new realm era can not only be our own stage for human beings, we should take into account the situation of coexistence with other friendly cosmic intelligent races!" Okabe stood up with emotion and said to Director Fukami, "Now, the friendly exchange with the Asmontis race is the first time for us to set a precedent in our new field!" ”

“... What do you think? Director Fukami frowned at the impassioned speech of Okabe, who had always been low-key, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he had to shift the topic to everyone without a trace, intending to listen to the opinions of others before making plans.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, a relatively young staff officer stood up in response.

"I think Minister Oka has a point!" The young staff officer stood up and said loudly, "Our new realm era of human beings should no longer stay in the narrow exploration of the universe, and communication with the intelligent races in the universe is imperative!" ”

"Stone Bridge??" Looking at the next young staff officer under the Ministry of Intelligence, the female staff officer Sawai's face was a little ugly.

She herself is not very willing to engage in inter-ethnic diplomatic exchanges with the other party when she does not know the depth of the other party, and the risk is too great.

But before she could dismiss the young Ishibashi staff officer, the deputy chief of the Safety Supervision Bureau on the other side also echoed in unison, and after a while, several department staff officers or chiefs responded, and the scene suddenly changed from a discussion to a platform for competing to express opinions, and the people who supported Minister Gang's arguments unexpectedly accounted for a majority of the proportion!

Director Fukami's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and now this situation seemed to be out of his control.

"There's no point in arguing like this." Nanyun knocked on the table, interrupted the high-level officials of the various departments in the debate, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said solemnly, "Since everyone hasn't convinced each other's arguments, let's raise our hands and vote." ”

"I don't agree with Minister Oka's proposal, which is too risky, and we humans may not be able to afford the worst that can happen." A staff officer of the Exploration Division was the first to vote by a show of hands, rejecting Minister Oka's proposal.

"I..."

"I seconded Minister Gang's proposal."

As soon as Gondo staff officer was about to vote against it, Deputy Chief Nagumo preemptively voted for it, which immediately made Gondo staff officer show an unbelievable expression.

"As Minister Oka said, we humans should not continue to be partial to the earth, and then slowly open up the unknown territory of the universe." Nanyun shrugged his shoulders easily, and then Shi Shiran sat down.

After hearing this......, Staff Officer Gonto's face began to be cloudy, and he raised his hand several times and put it down, and in the end he could only acquiesce to remain neutral, neither opposing nor agreeing.

"I agree!"

"Me too..."

"I..."

The two chiefs of the police bureau made their positions clear, and the staff officers and chiefs of various departments on both sides began to vote after thinking for a while, until in the end, the result was surprisingly more than 60% of the votes in favor of Minister Oka...

After the results came out, Minister Oka and the others immediately focused their attention on Director Fukami who was in the main position.

At this point, the development of the situation was already beyond the control of Director Fukami, and in the face of the result after the vote, he only sighed in his heart...

.....

Before Director Fukami made a final decision, Zhu Xingzhen silently turned off the live TV.

At this point, in the face of the opinions of the vast majority of TPC's top management, even if the director is the top decision-maker of TPC, there is no way to veto this result.

It's just that the stars really don't understand why so many high-level departments voted in favor of the cooperation proposal that Asmontis said clearly expresses the potential harm to humanity.

One or two is enough, he doesn't believe that so many chiefs of staff will not be able to see it...

This strange situation can't help but remind Zhuxing of the meeting with Ito a few days ago, and it seems that Ito, as the planner, did not pay attention to this negotiation meeting during the whole process.

I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that Ito had already known the outcome of the negotiation meeting?

Or...

The whole situation is a game that Ito has already planned?

Zhuxingzhen frowned.

.....

"Deputy Chief! Please wait a moment! "The negotiation meeting 'went smoothly' to an end, and Nagumo, who was about to leave, was stopped by Gondo staff officer in the aisle.

"What's the matter, Gonto." Nagumo waved his hand and told several of the heavily armed police bureau members to step away so that he and Gondo staff officers could talk to each other individually.

"Why, would you agree to let that Asmantis stay on Earth?!" After a few members of the team retreated some distance, Staff Officer Gondo couldn't wait to ask, "Their so-called 'ideal country' is obviously a threat to humanity, you can't fail to see it!" ”

"Are you questioning me? Gonto. Nanyun said in an unhurried tone, but it made Gonto's staff officer frown, and quickly said: "No, I just have doubts." ”

"Ha, take it easy, Kwonto." Unexpectedly, Nagumo seemed to just say it casually, and then patted Gondo staff officer on the shoulder and said, "There are always pros and cons to everything, you can't always focus on the disadvantages and ignore the benefits." ”

Nagumo paused and continued, "It's true that Asmantis's so-called 'ideal country' is too idealistic to be convincing, but what if it's true? After all, it won't last long to deceive us about such things. And we TPC already have the means to deal with their mirror puppets, they will eventually go or stay, the initiative is in our hands, in this case, why not let them stay and become our vassal race. ”

"But..."

Counselor Gondo was in a hurry, but Nanyun's face was full of confidence and said, "At this point, you are not as good as 'him'." ”

"He??"

"Ah, what a guy who can't be underestimated..."Thinking of the mild-faced young man, it only took less than thirty minutes to convince himself, and now that he thinks about it, it is very likely that the high-level leaders who voted in favor today are all planned by 'him', and the fear in my heart can't help but deepen.

"Instead of worrying about that, let's do what you have to do now." It didn't seem that he was going to talk deeply about the 'him' who made him jealous in front of Gonto's staff officer, and changed the topic and said, "Now that there is an Asmantis on the earth, then the combat effectiveness of our TPC should also be upgraded to another level, has Masaki Keigo's optogenetic factor converter data that was permanently frozen by the headquarters and Project F together with the headquarters have arrived?" ”

"I'm ashamed...," Gondo's face turned solemn, "but the Black Storm Team is already working on it, and I believe it will be stolen from the headquarters soon." ”

"Well, it's better to be so. Although the Black Storm team's record has been sluggish recently, it is also an elite team member that you have carefully selected, so it should be okay for this mission. Nanyun didn't mean to blame, and praised generously, "I am convinced of this." ”

"Yes, thank you very much!"

"As long as we can successfully create Ultraman for us to control, and with TPC's current combat power, it will be easier to deal with emergencies when the time comes." Nagumo's tone became a little emotional, "Although TPC is a world peace organization, if it does not have enough combat power to ensure the safety of the earth, protecting human beings from intrusion is just an empty word after all. ”

"Yes, my subordinates should remember the teachings." Staff Officer Gondo expressed his heartfelt understanding of these words.

"Let's go, go back and prepare more." After Nanyun sighed, he didn't want to say more, and after beckoning the members of the guard bureau in the distance to come back, he left directly.

Staff Officer Gondo stood where he was, watching Nagumo leave, and then got into the special car back to TPC headquarters with a heavy heart.
