The situation is just like this, and the problem is just like this.
To solve the problem, we must understand the situation, and to understand the situation, we must face the problem head-on.
After Che Luolun repeated his words several times and came to some specious conclusions, the meeting was almost over.
This is also the norm in most meetings. A group of people discuss issues that are not constructive, and some are used to quarrel or even fight.
Anything lofty or superior is all imaginary.
When there are more people, there will be a lot of chatter. It would be strange if they don't quarrel when they get together, but there is nothing unusual about fighting.
The TPC is relatively good. After all, it has only been established for twelve years, and the internal conflicts are not that big. Unlike those hundreds of years old organizations, the internal factions are not only rigid, but also full of contradictions. There is no possibility of resolution.
Therefore, the TPC Joint Chiefs of Staff can still discuss some meaningful issues.
Of course, it is definitely not that important. Although it is not a trivial matter, it is by no means the core and key.
For example, new field plans will only be discussed at meetings like this after they have been decided, and this is because they need to be voted on to obtain a large budget.
The purpose of this meeting is not to get some useful clues from these traditional politicians who are full of power and profit, but to tell them what they need to do and how much money they need.
For example, now, let’s first talk about the damage caused by the Sphia Sphere’s attack on Mars and the threat it poses to human safety. After people have a sense of crisis, we will talk about how many weapons and equipment are needed to establish a defense line to protect the earth. As for
How much money is needed is just an understatement. How can it be as important as personal safety?
Chief of Staff Nagumo was very lively at the meeting, talking a lot about how insignificant human beings' current armaments are compared to the many aliens from space who have come to Earth.
A single human being can be eliminated by a few small policemen; but a single spaceman in a single boat can cause huge waves on the earth.
This is just like ordinary rebar, which is very common in modern society, but became a magical weapon in ancient times.
In the same way, "technological creations" that are not very good in other civilizations are "terrible existences" that are difficult to resist to humans.
Speaking of "deep love", Chief of Staff Nagumo also cited several examples. For example, some cosmic beings can become gigantic, while others cannot become larger, but they will carry a monster with them, just like humans when they go out.
Bringing pets like dogs and cats is nothing to be surprised about.
But this is for people in the universe who have advanced technology and can tame monsters into as harmless as cats and dogs. But for people on earth, monsters are absolute enemies and can cause huge damage to mankind.
"...Human beings are not strong enough, far from strong enough. We must become stronger to protect our homeland."
Finally, Chief of Staff Nagumo, who was slobbering, ended his speech without saying anything.
It's not that I'm done talking, but that it's time to speak.
Although there are no clear regulations, everyone agrees that an individual's speech alone should not exceed five minutes. Otherwise, with so many people, if you speak to me one sentence at a time, the meeting will last until next month.
Chief of Staff Nagumo sat down, but no one stood up.
Everyone was a little 'shocked' by Chief of Staff Nagumo. After all, if you only listen to Chief of Staff Nagumo, then humanity is really in danger. After today, there will be no tomorrow.
But everyone is still living well now. Not only will there be a better tomorrow, but also the day after tomorrow, and the next generation will be as happy as ourselves.
However, even though he was complaining in his heart, he still looked solemn on the surface and nodded unconsciously to express his agreement.
Of course, I agree. If you want to give money, that's another matter. If we give money so easily, where will our face go? Oh, no, our sense of existence will be gone.
Although Chief of Staff Nagumo's speech has ended, there are many people who support increasing armament, not to mention Chief of Staff Nagumo's younger brother, there are many stakeholders.
When the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold. This is not an exaggeration, but a very implicit description.
When the TPC called on countries to lay down their weapons and disband their armies, why was it regarded as a joke by many people? It was because they felt that such empty words could make many stakeholders give up their wealth.
But the result surprised countless people. Such a fantasy came true. Not only did countries lay down their weapons, they also disbanded their armies and joined the so-called World Peace Organization.
It didn't take long for everyone to know the reason.
The co-authorship did not influence those arms dealers and interests with love and peace, but gave them a bigger cake.
How can you make money selling weapons on earth? You can make big money by going to the universe.
No matter how big the earth is, it is still just a ball with a diameter of less than 13,000 kilometers. No matter how hard you rack your brains to create a market, it is still limited. But as for the universe, one solar system alone is tens of billions of kilometers long, and considering the Kuiper Belt,
That goes directly to the scale of light years.
How much weaponry and equipment would be needed to fill such a large area?
This is called blue ocean.
Facts and interests have led many arms dealers to choose to follow up. Not to mention full warehouses, it is also a large investment, and the reward is that in the new field plan, many interstellar bases, space stations and other places are filled with missiles and cannons.
Although the excuse was to deal with meteorites, it only fooled ordinary people who didn't know the truth and didn't care. For experts, this was a clear reward.
Not many people objected to this. The reason was simple: weapons and equipment were just needed.
If there were no aliens and monsters, it would definitely be a militancy, but in this era of frequent aliens and monsters, if you don't have useful weapons in your hands, it's no different from waiting to die.
Therefore, although it is ironic to say that the name of the World Peace Organization is to vigorously develop armaments, we must continue to do it despite the irony. It is because of this that the premise of putting swords and guns in storage and letting horses go to Nanshan is that there are no strong enemies around, but now around humans
But there were enemies everywhere, not to mention a Sphia Sphere, which made people even more uneasy.
Therefore, the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting originally held to report on the Sphia Sphere situation turned into a weapons exhibition, with many staff officers working hard to sell the products of those behind them.
After all, this purchase is not a small amount, and they can also get a lot of rewards. Maybe they won't give it openly now, but when they retire, they will immediately receive many invitations to lecture tours and publications with ridiculously high pay.
I saw that the director was sitting in the upper position without saying a word, with eyes and noses, nose and heart, and no intention of stopping him. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Anyone who dares to block so many roads will be punished.
Very imaginative.
The main reason is that TPC does need it. From the beginning of the Victory Team to the present, the number of various elite teams has almost exceeded a hundred. In addition to the various armed forces formed in the name of guards in various places, the total number does not exceed a million.
Hundreds of thousands.
Such a large number of troops require a lot of weapons and equipment.
To this end, TPC has secretly established an arsenal, but it mainly produces high-tech confidential weapons and equipment like the Max Power System. Conventional weapons and ammunition, including fighter jets, still rely on arms dealers from various places.
Just like this meeting, TPC decided to increase the defense of extraterrestrial space. The demand is not as big as usual. Just relying on TPC's arsenal will produce it until the end of the year of the monkey.
Therefore, a bidding meeting must be held. Now is the time for the Eight Immortals to show their talents across the sea. Whoever has the most magical power can win these large orders.
Director Fukami has no intention of stopping it and has no reason to stop it.
This has been the case from ancient times to the present. Those who have connections and abilities can get a lot of food from whatever they want, while those who have nothing can only suffer haha.
As a person in power, what you have to do is to stand on the side of the majority of people in order to secure your position, otherwise...
Chiba Makoto was also sitting there watching the excitement. Seeing these superiors who were usually well-dressed in suits and leather shoes, their faces were red and their ears were flying and spit was flying around, and they almost rolled up their sleeves and performed a full martial arts show.
But it's understandable.
It's not shabby to make money, let alone so much money.
But as I looked at it, a sentence suddenly popped up from nowhere: "Captain Chiba also has a combat robot project."
"Um?"
The conference room that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet. Many people still kept opening their mouths and spitting blood, but turned their heads and looked at Chiba Cheng.
Have you become the protagonist by watching the fun?
"Well..."
Although I didn’t intend to ‘grab money’ at this kind of meeting, since someone mentioned it, let’s join in.
As the old saying goes, you get half the money you meet.
Chiba Cheng is not so greedy, but it cannot be less, otherwise it will be very shameful.
"Yes, it is mainly used for inter-city combat. After all, the streets are narrow and there are many buildings. Many weapons cannot be used. Giant robots are particularly important..."
Chiba Makoto briefly introduced the project about giant robots, especially emphasizing the importance of urban street fighting, so that people with little relevant knowledge can suddenly understand the huge advantages of such giant robots in urban warfare.
After all, whether a weapon is good or not does not depend on its power, but on its practicality.
Huge robots are actually of little use on the real battlefield. The system is too complex and there are too many parts. If any one of them goes wrong, the entire robot can be paralyzed.
Just like tanks and drones, a drone worth $1,800 can blow up a tank worth $1,800.
But if you're dealing with monsters, it's different.
What are monsters? They are irrational beasts. If you use a giant robot, you don't even need to fight. You can use it as a bait to lure the monster away.
Thinking about it, it seems to be very promising, especially since the investment is not high, but if there is any reward, it will be huge.
Of course, the greater possibility is that everyone is giving Qianye Cheng face. After all, who doesn't have family and parents, and who doesn't have a home near Chiba Cheng's residence.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t believe it, but that everyone has a deep understanding of Earth’s technology.
So far, I have not heard of any laboratory developing materials that can withstand the fangs and claws of monsters, not to mention that some monsters are attacked by fireballs and even energy rays.
Human beings are representatives of a spear that is far greater than a shield, but we deeply understand how difficult it is to defend ourselves.
Take nuclear bombs for example. Humanity has developed all kinds of nuclear bombs, but there is still no way to defend them. They can only intercept them.
And after the emergence of laser weapons, it is even impossible to intercept them.
As a result, the first approved project at the meeting appeared. Chiba Makoto's giant robot project was unanimously approved, and the Finance Minister in charge of the money bag also said that he would complete the initial allocation as soon as possible and prepare subsequent funds.
Handing out money is such a joy, it makes people look at them, and they wonder if this is still the stingy iron rooster?
If there is a first, there will be a second. If there is a second, there will be a third. If there is a third, there will be...
If you make an opening for everything, things will go smoothly later on.
By the time the meeting was successfully concluded, more than a dozen projects had been approved, including more powerful laser weapons, high-explosive missiles for space use, and the development of armed satellites using Specium ore, etc.
Everyone left in twos and threes with great satisfaction, talking about this wave of TPC purchases, and worried about the threat of the Sphia Sphere. It was necessary to inform everyone about the threat of the Sphia Sphere to human beings, so that everyone could
Understand that this wave of large-scale weapons procurement is very necessary. If you want to stop it, you are going against mankind and do not want to keep mankind safe.
Chiba Cheng did not leave in a hurry, but sat at the end until there was no one in the conference room, then he got up and left.
As soon as he went out, he saw Staff Officer Quan Teng, standing there waiting for him, with a smile on his face, and said: "Captain Chiba, I am looking forward to your huge robot. The miniaturization of the new Max engine last time made everyone very happy.
It’s a surprise, I’ll give everyone a surprise this time too.”
"Of course, I also want to thank you for your generous words."
Chiba Cheng also smiled back. Although he didn't see the person who mentioned the 'giant robot' just now, and his voice was a little different, it seems now that it should be Staff Officer Quan Teng, and if it wasn't him, he was the one who ordered it.
After a few words of useless talk, Counselor Quan Teng left in a sensible manner.
Then Jian Jian Huicai came over, looked at the departing staff officer Quan Teng, and said: "The police station has recently begun to expand its recruitment, not only the flying force, but also the ground force. A few days ago, surface ships and deep-sea ships were also submitted."
Utensils.”
"Aren't they investing heavily in Mars? Why are they interested in Earth again?"
The heart of the police department is obvious to all passersby.
Since the construction of Mars City began, the police department has invested heavily in manpower and efforts, which is called hard work. But why did it turn around and focus on the earth again?
Hui Jian was silent for a moment and then said: "They have built a training base near Luluye, as well as the Mu Continent ruins in the R sea area. The police department is also very concerned about it."
"It seems that you haven't given up yet." Chiba Cheng raised his eyebrows. The direction of these two areas is too clear.
The police department has not given up on the power of light, so Masaki's disappearance is intriguing.
