"General, I think you've seen that." On the virtual screen, a middle-aged councilor with a heavy face said: "The fourth-generation monster has driven straight through that [gap], and the hunter plan has not performed well in the past few years, especially in the last year, the battle loss ratio between you and your mecha hunter against the Kaiju beast has been increasing. This strategic plan is no longer working. ”

"As the number of attacks and the strength of the Kaiju Beast continue to increase, there is no doubt that the hunter plan that effectively contained the deterioration of the situation in the first place is no longer keeping up with the times, and it is no longer the steel defense line that everyone can trust." Another of the nine people in the picture spoke up.

"I know full well that the fall of every MechHunter means the sacrifice of more soldiers and civilians, but ......," Steck Pantycoster said with a serious expression, but before he could finish, the nine councillors on the virtual screen had already interrupted him. Even if he ignored the interruption and wanted to finish his inner demands and words, the person on the screen obviously didn't mean to let him finish.

"Interrupt you again, General! Whether you admit it or not, Project Hunter is dead in name only. We've given you at least a two-year grace period! Faced with a worsening situation, we have to look for other better ways to cope. The hunter program is outdated. British Councillor Cole, a gray-haired old man, said expressionlessly.

"What's a better way to cope?" Steck asked rhetorically.

"I think the coastal fence is a plan worth considering. It seems to have the highest success rate and protection in the world. Congressman Cole replied.

"Would you rather believe in an ethereal wall with no empirical evidence, or in the Hunter program that has protected the world for a decade? It's not wise. Steck's eyes were calm: "What's more, the open-minded chrysanthemum beast on the sea has wings in the end. If one day, there is a chrysanthemum beast that can fly in the sky, will the wall that was built with a huge amount of money really ensure the safety of the people? ”

"Nonsense! A monster of such a huge size and weight, even if it had wings, could not fly under the gravity of this planet. It's common sense! U.S. Congressman Taylor, a middle-aged man with a shrewd face, spoke: "We don't mean to give up the hunter plan immediately, you still have time to arrange everything." This is the way the world is, and it is always necessary to adapt to the changes of the times and needs.

The whole world will remember the contribution you and your troops have made to world security during these 10 years, and you will be deserved the honor you deserve. There are still eight months to go until the completion of the Fence Project, the lifeline of the coast, and we will continue to fulfill our responsibilities and continue to support you during these eight months. However, during this eight months, the rest of the Hunter bases will also be closed, and you can retreat to the PPDC headquarters with your remaining Mech Hunter Warriors. ”

"That is, in eight months, you are going to give up PPDC?" Steck asked.

"We're not giving up on PPDC, we're just not funding PPDC's Hunter program anymore." The only female councillor among the nine said slyly.

"This is the final result that we have agreed on, and this meeting is just a notice."

The figures on the screen disappeared one by one. There was a feeling of powerlessness in Steck Panticoster's heart, but he soon put this feeling behind him and forced himself to lift his spirits.

"I didn't expect them to be so stupid." Cai Tiantong, who watched all this from the side, and Steck's friend, General Heike, spoke up at the same time.

"It doesn't matter, we have at least eight months left." Steck Pantycoster said calmly. It's not time to despair yet, he's experienced more than that, but he's survived!

"Dr. Luke Field of Shaw Industries has sent an appointment to visit the General at PPDC tomorrow to discuss some cooperation." Cai Tiantong said suddenly.

"The builder of the sixth-generation aircraft?" Steck Pantycoster was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, he said he could help us with some of the necessary help." Cai Tiantong reads the official information of Shaw Industries.

"Promise him. I'd love to meet him too. Steck Pantycoster responded. There are only two things he knows about Shaw Brothers Industries, one is that he has technology, and the other is that he is very rich! Both of these are exactly what PPDC needs right now. Of course, it is not excluded that Shaw Brothers Industries wants to keep warm with PPDC, after all, the wall faction is rising, PPDC has become an outcast, and Shaw Brothers Industries, as the world's largest mecha industry chain leader, will definitely not have a good time. Maybe the other party heard something beforehand. After all, once the major member states begin to withdraw their investments, and the hunter plan is completely stranded and abandoned, if Shaw Industries still wants to operate the industrial chain generated by the mecha hunter project, then the only customer seems to be PPDC. In this context, policymakers on both sides should indeed meet.

……

PPDC Headquarters.

Shattered Dome.

A tall mech hunter landed quickly in a shocking gesture with fire spewing fire from his feet and not being hung by a heavy transport helicopter. The Shattered Dome was specially reinforced to allow mech hunters to fight on it, and the deck trembled slightly. Immediately afterwards, this skull-like mecha hunter spread out the palm of his left hand in front of everyone, and a silver-white cylindrical metal body with a radius of about one meter gently popped out of his palm, and after slipping out of the deck for a distance, he stopped in front of Steck and the others who were waiting on the deck.

The next moment, a cylindrical metal body slid open a door, and a young figure stepped out of it with one of his silver-white helmets.

"Cool, I love it!" Hermann Gottlieb, who was somewhat nervous, could see that he liked this unusual way of appearing, and lowered his voice to Newton Geisler, a colleague and friend next to him. However, Newton Geisler didn't pay any attention to him at all, but looked at a silver-white mechanical body that came out behind the young figure with a look of surprise, and there was no mistake! Axe! That's the original chrysanthemum beast!

"Dismount." Steck Pantycoster looked at the approachers, dropped a word to his friend General Heiko, and stepped forward to meet him.

"I think it's more like a show of strength." Cai Tiantong, who rarely came out to greet the guests, followed, glanced left and right, and came to Newton's side.

"Welcome, Dr. Luke! I thought you'd come by helicopter. "Steck Pantycoster.

"Mr. Shao is on a helicopter, but he won't be able to come over until the afternoon when he's done. I was in too much of a hurry, so I drove Curturlo first. Luke Field took the hand that Steck had handed him over, shook it twice, and let it go. A crowd of people scattered around them, hugging the two of them and walking towards the base.

In the elevator, Newton Geisler looked at the mechanical axe that followed the elevator step by step, and couldn't help but say, "Is this the first generation of Kaiju Beast axe?" ”

"Obviously." Luke Field nodded.

"Was it rigged?"

"I wrote an intelligent system for it, and it was able to move on its own."

"That's pretty cool! I love it. I mean, can I touch it? Wouldn't it touch any security protocols, would it? ”

"Feel it casually, its procedures are very rigorous and stable, and the logical judgment is fine."

"Great! It's really beautiful, I never thought that the combination of the chrysanthemum beast and the machine would be so beautiful! Do you also like to open chrysanthemums? I've always wanted to study specimens that are only alive, but unfortunately, all I can study are dead. ”

"Alright, Newton, let me speak with Dr. Luke first, and you'll have plenty of time to talk when it's time to entertain him at lunchtime. Even today, if we had a good conversation, Dr. Luke would be coming to Shatter Dome for some time to come. The elevator stopped, and Stek Pantycoster interrupted Newton as he walked.

Luke followed Stek to the base control room in the Shattered Dome, which was also Steck's office. After taking Luke to sit down in a small office of his own, he looked at Luke Field and said, "Now can you talk about Shaw Industries, or your purpose?" Or do you have to wait for Mr. Shao to come over? ”

"PPDC is in a terrible predicament, isn't it? Although Shaw Industries is unable to do anything about the situation facing PPDC, it is willing to contribute. ”

"Money?" Steck's eyes lit up, although he knew that Shaw Industries was rich and rich, but it was impossible to really afford PPDC, but if Shaw Industries was willing to support and provide some funds, at least it could make PPDC's life better, and at worst, it could survive for a few more days.

"More than that." Luke Field took out his phone, tapped it on the screen, and then placed it on the desk next to him and connected it to the virtual projection device in his office. "And a full technical support from Shaw Industries!"

"What do you, or rather Shaw Industries, want?" Steck Pantycoster's eyes were calm, he knew that it was impossible for the other party to pay this kind of effort without the desired return.

"The full set of techniques of the mech hunter mastered by PPDC." Luke Field said.

"It can't be!" Steck Pantycoster was furious and flatly refused. PPDC is not without the presence of people who have secretly sold some of the Mech Hunter blueprints and technology, most of whom are now in prison.

"Why don't you see what I can bring you first?" Luke Field calmly busied himself on the virtual projection.

"Every Mecha Hunter's crafting technique is a secret! And the full set of mecha hunter production technology is the crystallization of the common wisdom of all member and non-member countries in the past ten years! Although Shaw Industries' technology is very powerful, compared to many countries...... "Steck Pantycoster just wanted to continue to veto, but the next moment, seeing the technical information projected by Luke, his brain was stunned!
