Chapter 1 Return and stay
The power was out for half a day in the morning, and the call came in the afternoon, and the first update arrived.
It's the eleventh Golden Week soon, and it's also the starting point of another double monthly ticket war, this month from today until the end of the month, the monthly ticket vote is counted as two, the new story is about to begin, ask everyone for a monthly pass, and there will be a change later.
――――
"Let's go, let's go out for a walk."
"Where to go?"
"Macau!"
A group of people gathered together, and the leader was still Liu Zhiman, and the mecha pilots at the base, except for Heck's father and son, who had just died not long ago, were all present.
It was already the second day, and after the last gathering, everyone came to the outside of the base en masse, and instead of going to the Lingnan restaurant where the last party had gathered, they went directly to Macau, where they spent the night, and finally got drunk.
Knowing that everyone was in a bad mood, and that PPDC was about to be disbanded, there were no many checks in the base, so they acquiesced in this last indulgence, and even took the initiative to vacate two helicopters to relax everyone, and no one refused, publicizing that they were a group of mecha pilots who were about to retire, and collectively took a helicopter to Macau.
Probably to vent the dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts, everyone in Macau a little bit of fun, first went to a casino to play a few games, lost more and won less, and then felt bored, a group of people went out to eat a big meal, drunk only to find a hotel to stay, a sleep until dawn.
Zhang Yang didn't drink that much, so when he woke up the next day, he saved a lot of trouble, such as a headache after a hangover. Looking at Thomas, who was still lying on the floor and sleeping soundly, Zhang Yang shook his head, took out the communicator and dialed the number of the base. Yesterday's helicopter arrived again on the roof of the hotel and picked them up.
"You guys take a look at this first."
Back at the base, the official order for the dissolution of the PPDC had been issued, and a staff member handed them a stack of papers. The main content is not much different from yesterday's, most of the personnel in the base directly returned to their posts before the transfer, and the countries still guarantee that according to the current treatment, all the mecha pilots will be retired. There are two options, including regular drivers and reserve drivers.
First, the personnel of the unit have the option of whether or not to repatriate to their original unit. Or with drivers who have no military experience before becoming a driver, they will be sent back to their hometowns after receiving a generous financial subsidy and a year's salary as compensation. Still free. The original military rank (majority of the second lieutenants) is directly reported to the military department of the country to which the individual belongs, and belongs to the external staff of the special department, and retains the qualification to be recruited, and still enjoys the first right of recruitment and transfer after the PPDC is rebuilt.
The second option is that ordinary personnel who originally intended to stay can join the national military or research department, as well as other related positions, according to their personal wishes and strengths. The state gives priority to admission, which is for some veterans. For example, the pilot couple of the Russian mecha probably had been exhausted from years of fighting, and the two of them didn't want to stay in the army anymore, so they asked to fall to a Russian military university and become two teachers.
These two regulations did not surprise everyone much, at least the governments of the world have not been dizzy, knowing that at a certain time, the chrysanthemum beast will still make a comeback, and at that time, these retired drivers may be re-recruited back to the battlefield at any time, and such a generous retirement treatment also has the meaning of being enabled at any time.
Jeff, who became a reserve driver, was very satisfied with this retirement condition, although he never became a driver, but he finally had a sum of money and jobs provided by the state, and the original goal has been achieved.
"Hey, how was last night?"
Cai Tiantong greeted everyone, he still needed to be busy with the sealing of the equipment in the control center last night, and he couldn't attend this party, so he was a little depressed.
"Well, it's okay, Tiantong, I'll see what your order is, uh, you're going to the Ministry of Defense? Group leader? Promoted to colonel? ”
Baker nodded, both of them entered the hunter school in the same year, so he and Cai Tiantong had the best personal relationship among the people, and he was a little surprised after seeing Cai Tiantong's dispatch order.
In their article, it was mentioned that the technicians would also return to the army one after another, or be transferred to other departments, or decide to retire, etc., and as the chief consultant of PPDC, Cai Tiantong has a lot of knowledge and experience in this area, and was invited by the US Department of Defense to join a research department to continue to be responsible for the follow-up improvement and research of the drift nervous system.
Cai Tiantong is the head of this department, and the Ministry of Defense is probably very satisfied with Cai Tiantong's previous experience, and directly awarded the rank of colonel, which is what surprised Beckett the most, according to his previous experience in PPDC, Cai Tiantong is probably equivalent to a lieutenant colonel, and at this moment he is directly promoted to a colonel, and it is an important department of the Ministry of National Defense, and its gold content is extraordinary.
"Actually, it's mainly because I'm too lazy, I've been in PPDC for so many years, and I've long been used to dealing with them, you must know that every time you fight, the most worried and busiest are me, and now I can continue to do the job I liked before, and I am so worried, and the treatment is also good, so I agreed." Cai Tiantong's voice was a little resentful.
"Hehehe."
Everyone let out a good-natured laugh, everyone understood that the task of controlling the center was the most complicated, as a driver, they could at least go out and relax during non-combat time, and Cai Tiantong had to stay in front of the computer almost every day, monitoring the occurrence of various situations.
It was not only Cai Tiantong who was requisitioned by the Ministry of National Defense, but also some of the technical personnel who worked in the control center before, also received this invitation and joined the research department, for them, the content of the work is almost the same anyway, and it is always more comfortable to be with acquaintances, not to mention that Cai Tiantong is still their commander, so there is no need to worry about being criticized by some high-ranking officials who do not understand, which will make people annoyed.
As for the specific responsibilities of this department, Cai Tiantong only vaguely mentioned that the current mecha piloting synaesthesia system drift was originally designed by the US Department of Defense for the nervous system designed by pilots, and their task is probably to retransform the system into a suitable for pilots.
After the crisis disappeared, countries began to reconsider the previous power competition, and the United States suffered a lot of losses in this war, the losses caused by the attack of the chrysanthemum, civilian casualties, and the economic losses caused, the damage and maintenance of the mecha, but the same gains were also quite huge, such as the study of the body parts of the Otherworldly chrysanthemum, which promoted the progress of certain industries or technologies.
The PPDC has been used for more than ten years drift synaesthesia system, but also for the U.S. defense department to provide a large number of real-time data and information, do not forget that the original developer of this system is the U.S. Department of Defense, after so many years of actual combat testing, most aspects of the system have already reached the point of completeness, only need to be re-improved, can be applied to the fighter pilot.
As early as after the announcement of the synaesthesia system, some experts once predicted that the synaesthesia system will inevitably affect human beings for a long time to come, and even the two-seat fighter will overwhelm the single-seat fighter, all because of the synaesthesia system.
In fact, in this battle, all countries have obtained the manufacturing technology of the Skua mecha, and the synaesthesia technology has already been touched, and it can be seen from the fact that the mecha operating systems of various countries are different from each other, so the United States is no longer a monopoly in this regard, but a situation in which a hundred flowers are blooming.
But no matter what, everyone still congratulated Cai Tiantong, at least compared to them, Cai Tiantong can continue to struggle in the position he likes.
In the end, everyone's eyes converged on the last order, that is, the departure and stay of the command personnel of the PPDC. General Heck, the number 2 man, had already died heroically in the defense of the war with his son, and the Australian government decided to engrave the names of the two men, along with the other Australian people who died in the war, on the monument, which will be erected in front of the Sydney Opera House, where the Eureka Raiders once fought, as a tribute.
And the supreme commander Pant Coaster, as said yesterday, the US military has offered generous treatment conditions, inviting the other party to join a secret department, responsible for the improvement and extension of the mecha, still a five-star general, directly responsible to the military and the president, others have no right to ask, the salary is very generous, and this department will be very important for a long time to come, I heard that the Skua mecha should be advanced into a mecha suitable for individual combat, as well as research on future space operations, the important process can be imagined.
However, Pantcoster chose to refuse.
Such a huge cake was rejected by Pantcoster with a wave of his hand, and then submitted his own retirement application, and at the same time, he had already contacted a farmer through some personal connections, and was ready to buy the other party's farm directly, and from then on face the land, spring blossomed.
As incredible as it sounds, Pantcoster did so, and the military consulted with Panter several times in the hope of retracting the decision, but to no avail, and in addition to the U.S. military, other countries have sent representatives to cooperate with Pante, but all of them have been refused.
After so many years in such an important position, Panter had some secrets and experience that were more than capable of earning him a good salary, but he was a little tired of his old life, and then he made a request of his own to open an orphanage in a city near his farm to receive orphans whose parents had died in the attack of the chrysanthemum, and at the same time hoped that the U.S. government would see the credit of his years and reduce some of the orphanage's expenses.
Whether it is reasonable or reasonable, the US government has no reason to refuse, not only to appease the feelings of this veteran, but also to take care of these orphans, and at the same time to add a reason for the US government to promote a positive image of the government, and agree on the spot.
