Chapter 114 The end
Qidian server has more and more problems. The background is stuck every day and cannot get in for a long time, and all kinds of helplessness are there.

"Forget it, I don't want to be seriously warned by the boss."
Zhang Yang shook his head and refused Liu Zhiman's proposal.
Liu Zhiman shrugged, smiled indifferently, and then went to the control center with Zhang Yang. This might be their last mission.
When the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden. When the gap is sealed and the chrysanthemum will not appear again in a short time, the skua mecha or the entire PPDC will temporarily lose its meaning of existence.
The reserve maintenance of the mecha and the daily operation of the base are all a considerable expense. Perhaps shortly after this, the surviving mechas will be temporarily sealed, and they will also retire and leave the position of mecha driver, waiting to take the position again one day.
Of course, this is just a possibility to prevent danger from happening. If possible, no one would hope that the chrysanthemum would come to Earth for a second time, but this is just a wishful thinking of human beings.
It was the first time Zhang Yang met the driver of a cougar, the Anderson brothers, two white men, with similar figures and appearances. Beckett seemed to know the brothers and went forward and gave him a warm hug.
"Beckett, we haven't seen each other for five years, are we?"
Seeing Beckett, the Anderson brothers were obviously very happy and slapped Beckett's shoulder enthusiastically, making Beckett grin.
"Yes, it's been more than five years. If it weren't for the mission this time, we probably wouldn't have encountered it."
After the greetings between the two sides were over, Beckett explained as others. It turned out that Anderson was very familiar with the Beckett brothers in the Hunter School before being assigned to the "Coloon" mecha, and there were two joint battles afterwards, responsible for the extermination of a chrysanthemum-billed beast on the West Coast. He was an old friend.
However, at that time, the Beckett brothers were among the best star drivers and had a prominent reputation. In comparison, the Anderson brothers were much more low-key, which was probably the reason why the Cougar Mecha could last until now.
"Let's go back and wait until the task is over, and I must visit my house. My mother has been talking about you for a long time. Also, we are both married, so you have to meet my daughter."
The Anderson brothers laughed kindly and heartyly. The middle-aged man had already gotten married and had children, one son and one daughter. When it came to the topic of his own baby, the two suddenly became very active and kept telling Beckett about his children. Beckett also reluctantly agreed to the other party's invitation. When the task was over, he would definitely go back and take a look when the holiday was on.
However, he would not be the only one who went there by then. Beckett said silently in his heart. Then he glanced at Mazi, and happened to meet Mazi's gaze. Mazi's face turned red and he lowered his head.
Seeing the passionate appearance of both parties, Zhang Yang wisely did not act as a light bulb. By the time the group arrived at the control center, there were already many fewer people inside.
"Welcome back, my warriors." Pantcoster smiled.
"Hello, sir."
Zhang Yang and others looked at each other and answered.
Next to Pantcoster were Cai Tiantong, Newton and Herman brothers. Pant glanced at everyone before speaking slowly.
"In this war, we won the final victory, and the chrysanthemum was repelled by us. The gap was successfully destroyed. Your contribution is obvious to all, and there is no doubt about it."
Zhang Yang listened to Pante's words and did not speak, understanding that this was a post-war summary, so that he would continue to assign the next tasks. Sure enough, Pante changed his mind after a moment.
"But the end of this battle, it would be meaningless for our PPDC to exist. We will soon retire. Oh, the PPDC was going to be disbanded. I think this may be our last meeting. Representatives of governments have expressed their opinions. They will start to transfer relevant data in three days and start to coordinate work. However, there are many things in the base and they will not be able to be moved in a short while, which will take about one or two months."
Although I guessed the result of PPDC, I was still a little depressed when I heard this news. In order to protect human safety, PPDC has existed for more than ten years and has spent countless energy to usher in precious peace for ordinary people. However, just after the battle ended, PPDC was about to be forced to disband, which sounds a bit ironic and helpless.
It’s okay for Zhang Yang to be here, but the old drivers such as Beckett suddenly heard the news of disbanding and looked a little ugly. Although it took less than a few months to dissolve the PPDC as planned, there was a buffer period after all.
No one spoke, including other technicians from the control center, from all over the world, were temporarily transferred here, and worked for several years, and had already developed feelings for it.
It is no exaggeration to say that foreign personnel at the Hong Kong base can basically speak Mandarin that is not very fluent, while some Huaxiatongs have long mastered Chinese and are always in Hong Kong's streets and alleys without any pressure. They are more like Chinese than some Chinese.
When there is no battle on weekdays, these people will run around Hong Kong in groups of three or three, and advanced troops such as the three Liu brothers often secretly drive planes to Macau to gambling. Of course, the leaders of the base know all this, but they just turn a blind eye, and even they themselves occasionally do this.
After living here for so many years, I have become half a white-skinned Chinese. Although I am about to return to my hometown, I feel a little reluctant to leave when I suddenly hear that I want to leave here.
Some well-informed people knew about the dissolution regulations not long ago, but they just refused to believe this fact.
After the disbandment of the PPDC, the original joint troops were repatriated to their original units according to the organization before the transfer. The technicians returned to their own scientific research institutes and could also choose to retire. Some of them were soldiers before. After returning to the original troops, their military ranks were still valid. For example, Colonel Zhang Jones, the Air Force Brigade, was probably ready to replace the little golden beans on his shoulders at this moment.
"Don't look so ugly. I, the commander, have not been depressed yet. Instead, you are depressed first. What's this called?"
Pantcost forced a smile and clapped his face, attracting everyone's attention.
"General, where will you go after PPDC is disbanded?"
A slightly fat white technician looked at Pantcoster and asked his own questions.
"Second Lieutenant, what are you going to do after you disband?"
Pantcoster did not answer directly, but asked back. The white lieutenant was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he replied a little embarrassedly: "My family is in Minnesota. Before coming to Hong Kong, I worked in a research institute, but now I feel tired of any kind of numb life. After disbanding, I will probably go back to my hometown to be a college teacher, and then marry my girlfriend."
"Congratulations, congratulations, remember to give me an invitation at that time."
Pantcost laughed, obviously very happy with the other party's plan, and then said: "My health is no longer good. After the PPDC is disbanded, I am also preparing to retire. I don't want to continue in the army. I plan to rent a farm and where to retire slowly. You must know that I almost vomit when facing the sea all day long."
Pantcoster's answer obviously surprised everyone.
As the highest commander of PPDC, a five-star general. Even if PPDC is disbanded, with these years of experience and experience, Pantcoster can continue to stay in the army and enjoy general-level treatment. Even if he is a free job, he can do it. However, Pantcoster directly said that he plans to retire and become an ordinary farmer, and everyone still has a little bit of a turn.
However, Zhang Yang, Ma Zi and others understood Pantcoster's mood. They had been in the commander position for so many years, commanding battles and various things, and had to face their comrades one by one. They were already exhausted. In addition, they had received nuclear radiation in the early years, Pantcoster's health was also deteriorating.
As Pante said, after watching the sea for more than ten years, I was already tired of it. Going to rent a farm and facing a large area of green fields is the best way to solve the visual fatigue of the sea.
Zhang Yang glanced at Mazi. Sure enough, after hearing Pantcoster's words, Mazi's face suddenly looked much better. Obviously, she was unwilling to let Pantcoster continue to be busy in the army. Zhang Yang even felt that maybe Pantcoster's idea of going to open a farm after retirement was proposed by Mazi.
In any case, the dissolution of PPDC has become a foregone conclusion. According to relevant instructions, most of the personnel will be dismissed and return to their respective troops. Bases, equipment, equipment, etc. related to the mecha will be sealed one by one, including those three mechas. The Mexican government has issued a dispatch order requiring the mountain lions to return to Mexico after the mission is completed and ready to seal them.
The same is true for the ending of Cernoelfa. He was directly taken back by the Russian government with a transfer order. Since the war has ended, it is better to put your own things in your own territory.
Storm Red itself is a mecha affiliated to China, so naturally there is no need to conduct extra dispatch and store it directly in the Hong Kong base. After the PPDC is officially disbanded, this military base will be taken over by the Chinese army and is still classified as a military zone. Although politicians pursue immediate interests, they also understand that the peace in front of them is only temporary. The Kaiju Star who has the technology to build a space-time wormhole will definitely not give up. The next time the Kaiju beast arrives is the time when the base opens again.
