XVIII - The pressure of the raging waves
After all, the stakes are high for the Technology Development Bureau's lack of resources. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć As for the chronic lack of resources, the problem is even more serious.
Hearing Ji Yuehua's description, the division commanders in the conference room fell into shock, and for a while, the voices of speech came and went, and even Zuo Youxin's face flashed a trace of surprise.
But. This time, the old man was silent. The person who spoke out to stop this chaotic situation was Ji Yuehua.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't describe it properly. Let's all pause, let me explain it carefully, and answer your questions one by one, shall we?"
The wry smile just now only existed for more than ten seconds.
In a second, Ji Yuehua switched her aura.
The "gentle adjutant" who was sitting here a moment ago no longer exists, and in his place is the "successor of the General Staff of the Military Department". It sounded extremely close to a "request", but with a majestic voice that could not be resisted, he forcibly silenced everyone present. Ji Yuehua coughed lightly, forcibly suppressed the awkward feeling of "as if ordering acquaintances and seniors to do things" in her heart, the expression on her face remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "First of all, let me answer Xue Nai...... Ahem, the question of the commander of the 5th and 9th divisions. Yes, the Technology Development Bureau does have the largest budget of the 13th division of the military department, and in principle we can buy any equipment, and even build an underground warehouse next to this general headquarters...... But what if the resources and money we lack have nothing to do with human society as a whole?"
"It has nothing to do with the whole of human society...... Off?"
"It's the Calamity Beast and the Mythical Crystal!"
As always, Zuo Youxin lives up to his current name as the general staff of the military department.
He proved with his actions that not actively participating in and presiding over the meeting is not the same as sitting here and sleeping with his eyes open. Except for Yayi Yonglin, who already knew everything, and Yakumo Zi, who knew a little about it beforehand, Zuo Youxin was the first to guess what Ji Yuehua was talking about. The other division commanders waited until he said the correct explanation before they showed a look of sudden realization.
"Yes. As Old Man Zuo said...... if the "Divine Crystal" deposit is to be used, since we snatched that island, there will be no shortage for about ten years. The problem is mainly on the Calambulum side. ā
Zuo Youxin's guess was confirmed. After bowing his head slightly, with a flash of blue light, Ji Yuehua took out a stack of documents out of thin air, and while distributing them to everyone present, he said, "If you want to make an ordinary 'Divine Weapon', as long as you have 'Divine Crystal' and a certain amount of metal, it is enough. A more sophisticated "metaphorical weapon" may have to be mixed with some materials retrieved from the "Calamity...... For example, the shield of the lieutenant of the 2nd Division is made of the armor of the "Armored Spider", mixed with the wings of the "Rusty Tiger" and the wrist armor of the "Black Scythe", plus some other metals. This document lists the total number of materials in the hands of our Technology Development Bureau today. As you can see on the first, fourth, and fifth pages, while there are still enough reserves of various metal meshes, we at the Technology Development Bureau are seriously lacking in various A-Rank or higher "Calambulation" materials. Of course, the only one who can touch the "Calamity Beast" is the 13th Division of our military headquarters, and these materials, not to mention priceless, are not marketable, and people in the market may have never heard of them...... Therefore, there is no way to solve the problem with an adequate budget of funds. At the end of the day, it's up to us to peel off the material from the Calambula. The above is the background explanation of the insufficient resources of our Technology Development Bureau. ā
"But, a year ago, we didn't go through a ...... Is it a war on a large scale? At least 2,000 of the "Calamity" beasts were killed in that battle, and the total number of "calamity" killed by us should be close to 2,600 after the failure of the attack on our homeland. Even so, is the TDB under-resourced?"
As one of the participants in that battle a year ago, Yukino Tachibana can be said to have vivid memories of that time. If nothing else, I will never forget it in my life.
That's why she's able to ask targeted questions at the first moment.
In order to achieve victory, the 3rd Division of the Army, led by the 8th Division, paid a heavy price.
Although winning is a valuable reward in itself, is it true that even with this level of sacrifice, there is still no way to meet the needs of the Technology Development Bureau?
Tachibana Yukino did not intend to pursue the glorification of the results of the war on a documentary record so that herself, her division, could be gilded on the surface. However, she resisted from the bottom of her heart to continue to add the element of "failure" to the results.
Because it involves the reputation of the subordinates who died in battle, as the division commander, she must not back down here...... At the very least, she has to figure out the "why", and moreover, there has to be a reason that she can accept.
"Ahh......h
Having the same idea as Tachibana Yukino, there are also Kenneth and Xiao parting.
Of these three division commanders, although only Tachibana Yuki is a gentle person from the bottom of his bones, but if he attaches great importance to his subordinates in his heart, he is comparable.
If the answer here is incorrect, or if the words are inappropriate, it will immediately destroy the rare harmony between the Technology Development Bureau and the 12th Division of the Military Headquarters. No, before that, Ji Yuehua didn't want to stuff a thorn in her long-standing friendship with Tachibana Yukino!
Feeling the eyes of these three people that contained strong emotions, Ji Yuehua, who was a junior and a friend of Tachibana Yukino, rubbed her forehead with a faint pain, and the sense of majesty that she had finally put on became a little weaker.
It's hard for him to do it here!
There was no right or wrong in this matter, and besides, he was just describing it according to the facts, but he had to bear the pressure of the breakdown of friendships and internal divisions.
That being said.
All eyes were on him. Even if he wanted to pretend to be thinking and choose his words carefully, the reality of the environment did not allow him to have this level of leisure.
It was a storm, literally hidden, beneath the peace. Under the pressure of an approaching storm, and a kind of weight on top of it. Half a second later, Ji Yuehua was forced to continue helplessly, "The recycling rate is a little insufficient." ā
