William entered the base with a grim face, Cherph silently followed him, and the two entered the control room, where General Chester was sitting, smoking his cigar and being equally silent, as if he had not seen the two enter.

William and the others stood in front of Chester, and he didn't come to his senses until Chester realized that there was someone standing in front of him.

"You're here." He put the cigar in his mouth and took a puff lightly, but the cigarette didn't come out, "General Jordy's order I believe you have also received it." ”

"Roger." William replied.

"We've cut our budget in half." Chester said helplessly.

"These thirty kids, they've been doing really well so far." Cherf said.

"So we can only reduce the budget on the mech." William replied.

"How's the mental state of these kids?" Chester asked.

"After the Battle of Washington, there are five children who are in an unstable state and can only serve as squad leaders."

"Where's Starter?"

"He's still watching, and he's been very consistent."

"In terms of funding, I will continue to apply with General Jody." "If it doesn't work, I'll have to say yes to the company." ”

"In this way, will it be leaked?" William thought about it for a long time and said.

"Huh, leaks?" Chester suddenly said angrily, "What ZG mecha of theirs have already leaked to China, and the GH plan is precisely the project that should increase funding and scale up the most, but it is actually halved in funding." ”

"ZG mecha China already has?"

"Possession? Oh, who they picked at the beginning, they had to pick China, they were thinking that the Chinese were too simple, the Taklamakan incident, they originally wanted to disassemble and recover the mecha. When the invasion began, we were busy coping, but what about China? But they dug the desert leisurely. ”

"Didn't China invade as well?"

"Heh, there are a total of 46 space-time rifts in the world, and there are 26 in our country alone, accounting for more than half, this battle has almost consumed all the military resources of the United States, at this time, as long as any country takes advantage of the danger, we can only sign a secession treaty."

"Since China already has a ZG mecha, why does General Jody continue to increase investment?" Cherf muttered, "See, this must be a disguise!" ”

"Oh! Cherf, you have such a smart head, it seems that you are only suitable for scientific research. William said mockingly.

"That's the case, ZG mecha China has already got it, why do you want to allocate money?"

"Cherf, come, let me ask you a few questions." William looked at Chester, and after Chester nodded in agreement, he continued, "One, the GH mecha has been developed with the human project until this year, and it has been more than 12 years, how long have you been involved in this project?" ”

"Eight years."

"Okay, these eight years, do you know what you're going to do before you get involved?"

"I don't know."

"Very good, second question, ZG plan, from before it debuted, do you know about this project?"

"I don't know."

William spread his hands and looked at Cherf, who was also looking at him, equally spreading his hands.

"Every project is top secret until it comes to light, and the ZG plan is the same, but I believe that ZG is a few years behind GH's. Even if the Chinese get the mecha, they will need time to develop it, Cherf. Like any new weapon in history, everyone wants to develop it sooner rather than later to determine their political status, but no one knows how much scientists' time is consumed here. ”

"So, we're going to have to keep it secret, aren't we?" Cherf said.

"GH plan, even if the Chinese side gets the mecha and knows its principle, where will they find a natural leader like us with innate advantages?" Chester stood up, he was thoughtful, silent for a moment, and continued, "I can probably guess the reason for the halving of the funds, General Jody's intentions. ”

"William, the children's affairs can't be relaxed, their potential is endless, you still need to be like an excavator, keep digging deeper, see what kind of potential they have, but remember, don't drive any more children crazy." Chester said, pointing at William.

"Sir, I don't want to drive any child crazy." William replied with a salute.

"Very well, I'll go meet General Jody again." Chester finished speaking and left the control room.

"William, I still haven't understood, the ZG mecha has been leaked, why do you want to increase the investment cost?"

"Cherf, you don't need to know much about this deceitful political method, your main task now." William patted Cherph on the shoulder, "It's how to improve the combat ability of the mecha, the children are already a little dissatisfied with the monotony of the mecha." ”

William stood in the control room, he looked at the busy staff below, and the huge screen in front of him was showing the combat images of each child.

Those children, who were fighting in the streets of Los Angeles at this time, and the battle in Washington D.C., made these children's mental stamina reach the peak, and at the same time, their survival ability and teamwork ability were also significantly improved.

In particular, Starter, the child who had worried him and was full of expectations, got through the first hurdle without danger.

"If I didn't know that these were just eight or nine-year-olds, I might have thought of them as fighters from the elite of the elite." A voice suddenly appeared behind him.

The voice interrupted his distraction, but it didn't cause any disgust.

"General Harry." William turned around, and Harry was looking with interest at the control room, which was located to facilitate any orders.

"Chester gives you a lot of power." Harry sighed.

"It's not so much your work." William replied modestly.

"No way, the human project made you give it to the Chinese, how can I give you some compensation, but this compensation is a bit unimaginable." Harry walked up to William, "Don't look at Chester's always complaining, but he still trusts you." ”

"But General, I want to know, why did you come here?"

"I'm not the same as Chester, but here, but I've chosen the site, and don't forget, I'm pretty good at keeping secrets." Harry said as he looked at the battle screen on the screen.

"So, general, ZG plan, you are also involved?" William also looked at the picture.

"Come today, and I knew you were going to ask me that question." Harry turned his head and glanced at him.

William didn't look back at Harry, he waited quietly, he knew that it would be better to wait quietly for the other person to say it than to continue asking.

"ZG plan, I don't know anything, I just learned the news today, I know that things are not so simple, from the appearance of the ZG mecha in the defense of Washington, I know that we seem to be all involved in it."

"What's involved?"

"I don't know, but I can only tell you with my gut that we're at a disadvantage right now." Harry turned around and said in an unusually low voice, "Do you remember the myth that the Chinese side mentioned?" There is also the electron channel, which I can only associate a little. ”

"What?" William didn't know why, from the deepest part, the volcano-like cold was about to erupt.

"If there has always been a God who created us, hidden among us, even beside us." Harry took a deep breath, "We're just pawns in their hands, what would you do?" ”

William only felt a shudder unconsciously as fear suddenly took over his body from the depths of his inner volcano.

He forced himself to look at what was happening on the big screen.

Clam up.

God......

Right by the side?
