Chapter 705: A Five-Year Covenant

705, five-year covenant

Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, USA. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The mournful and majestic 'funeral horn' sounded, and Rear Admiral Scott, deputy commander of the Third Fleet, led six Navy soldiers to walk to the church door carrying a coffin covered with an American flag.

"Ready~~~~!! Warning shots!! At the command of the ceremonial captain, the three teams of marines raised their ceremonial M-14 Garand rifles and fired neatly into the sky! Bang! Bang! Bang!

In this military cemetery, there are countless new tombstones, and under these tombstones, most of them are empty, only the relics and uniforms of the fallen soldiers. Because many of these soldiers who died were in the heart of the nuclear explosion, their bodies merged with the sea, and they could no longer be separated from each other.

In front of the stage, Rear Admiral Scott was tearfully reciting the eulogy, yes, this coffin belongs to the four-star admiral of the United States Navy, Nora Tyson. She was originally a three-star lieutenant general, but after she sacrificed herself and eliminated the 'axe' of the Kaiju beast, she was posthumously awarded a four-star general.

Tang Yu, Zhou Qing, Zhang Ruijun, Chen Gang and Christina were all wearing black suits, standing there quietly, watching the funeral, with a heavy heart.

It's been 48 hours since the first phase of the mission was completed, and although the second phase of the mission has not yet been released, they already know the impact of the first phase of the mission - after the 72-hour preparation time is over, they will be transported to five years later, in 2018.

According to the system, with a large number of Level 4 Kaiju Beasts appearing in 2020 and Kaiju Beasts starting a counteroffensive as a time node, the higher the evaluation of the first stage of the mission, the more preparation time will be given before 2020. They were rated A, so they got two years.

This also made Tang Yu and the others feel a little relieved, after personally seeing the power of the Kaiju Beast, they were extremely glad that they still had time to make layouts and preparations. You must know that almost desperately trying to get the help of the entire American army, in the end, it was only possible to launch a nuclear bomb to destroy the chrysanthemum beast 'axe', which was just a second-class goods!

The second-level chrysanthemum beast is already so terrifying, so what about the third-level one? What about level four? Even, what about level five?? Whenever they thought of this question, Tang Yu and their hearts were full of heaviness. After all, it's an epic mission.

After the funeral, Major General Scott put on his ceremonial big-brimmed hat again, straightened up, and then took off his white gloves and walked towards Tang Yu and the others. He didn't say much, just nodded at them, made a gesture of invitation, and led them to a black van SUV with military license plates.

The car drove straight into the Pentagon, which is in Arlington County, the same as the National Cemetery, and into a small conference room. There was no one in the conference room, so everyone sat down first.

"His Excellency the President will hold a solemn mourning ceremony this afternoon to lay wreaths for the more than 30,000 soldiers who have died in battle. However, I will not go, because it makes no sense to me, because, I should have died. But because of Admiral Nora Tyson's instructions, I had to live with humiliation, with only one purpose - to completely destroy the chrysanthemum beast! Maj. Gen. Scott spoke.

Tang Yu nodded and said, "I understand your thoughts. ā€

"You are the biggest contributor to this invasion of the Chrysanthemum Beast, not only because you brought the information of the Chrysanthemum Beast, but also because, you are the pioneers, I can see that you are warriors, so it doesn't matter what your past is. What's more, if it weren't for you, then I'm afraid we would have paid an extremely heavy price, maybe the casualties would have reached a million! Scott shook his head, as if still basking in the horrors of the Chrysanthemum Beast.

"How to fight against the Chrysanthemum Beast, what we have pointed out to you is just the beginning, and there is still a lot of work to be done. What did you want to say when you brought us here? Tang Yu asked.

"Let me explain this question." Suddenly there was a voice outside the door, and then the Secretary of Defense pushed the door in, and Major General Scott hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The Minister of Defense looked at Tang Yu and the others and said: "The United Nations will hold a summit in Seoul, South Korea, next month, September 15, 2013, with the participation of all countries in the world." At this summit, there are two main topics, the first is how to fight against the chrysanthemum beast. The second is the establishment of the P.P.D.C, Pacific Rim Joint Defense Organization -- yes, this has already been decided, and the summit is just a formality. ā€

The Seoul summit has been brought forward to September 15, 2013? It's a full year ahead of the story! It seems that their own layout did work! One year, enough time for people to do a lot of things! Even without their 'spoilers' and guidance! Then, after being teleported to 2018 by the system, you may see a more mature mecha hunter system!! Tang Yu thought with some joy.

Seeing that Tang Yu did not speak, the Minister of Defense continued to add: "After our careful consideration, we have decided to jointly nominate the five of you as the first batch of members of the PPDC with Huaxia. Major General Scott is the candidate recommended by our country to be the head of the PPDC. In other words, you will become colleagues after that. At the same time, PPDC will also receive generous R&D funds and action funds to fight against the chrysanthemum beast - note that by 'lucrative', I mean tens of billions of dollars in investments! So, what do you think? ā€

Tang Yu and the others glanced at each other and sighed, this condition cannot be said to be unfavorable, and it can even be said that the Americans have shown the greatest sincerity, and most of them are also looking at the magical power of their own group of people. If you agree to it like this, with Tang Yu's technical strength, I'm afraid everything will go a lot smoother, but ......

"What? Do you want to say no? The Minister of Defense noticed that their expressions were not right, and his face sank.

Tang Yu shook his head and said, "It's not that we don't want to agree, it's that we can't agree......"

"Why?"

"Because, we come from the future." Tang Yu finally decided to use this excuse, he sighed and said: "We were originally from 2018, but we inexplicably traveled through the time and space wormhole to five years ago. That's why we only know some things about the Kaiju Beast, but, because of our intervention, history has changed a lot, so we will be swallowed up by the turbulence of time and space again...... In other words, we will disappear ......"

The Secretary of Defense and Scott were shocked, and they looked at each other in disbelief.

"Are you kidding? Space-time turbulence?! The Defense Minister shouted, "This is not a science fiction movie!" ā€

"If you really want to say that, it's more sci-fi to connect to other planets, and from time to time rush out of the wormhole that the chrysanthemum beast wants to destroy us!" Zhou Qing said next to him.

"Wait a minute, you say you changed history? So what was the original history? Scott, apparently focused on something else, asked.

"The Chrysanthemum landed in San Francisco, destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge, and then plowed San Francisco almost flat, and then even stormed Sacramento, and finally escaped to Oakland, where it was killed by the military with a nuclear bomb. And that's six days later, and in this case, millions of people were killed and wounded. In addition, since it was not possible to confirm the origin of the chrysanthemum, the Seoul summit was held in September 2014. Tang Yu said slowly.

The Minister of Defense gasped, and he said fearfully: "No...... If it weren't for your reminders...... That's almost certainly how things will go! We are absolutely unwilling to use nuclear bombs on our homeland...... OMG...... You guys...... I don't even know how to thank you guys! ā€

"Thank you, we have given you all the information we know, and I hope you can do it yourself. If we can get out of the turbulence of time and space, maybe we'll see each other again in five years. Tang Yu said with a smile.

"Then it's decided! Five years later! See you in 2018!! Major General Scott said categorically.
