705 、 The Five-Year Promise
Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, USA.
The mournful and majestic 'funeral' sounded. The deputy commander of the 3rd Fleet, Rear Admiral Scott, led six marines carrying a coffin covered with the US flag and walked towards the entrance of the church.
"Ready!!! Fire!! " The ceremonial captain gave an order. Three teams of marines raised their ceremonial M-14 Garand rifles and fired at the sky! "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
In this military cemetery, there are countless new tombstones. Most of these tombstones are empty, only the relics and military uniforms of the dead soldiers can be seen. Because many of these dead soldiers were in the center of the nuclear explosion. Their bodies have merged with the sea and can no longer be separated.
In front of the podium, Rear Admiral Scott was reading a eulogy with tears in his eyes. Yes, this coffin belongs to the 4-star admiral of the US Navy, Nora Tyson. She was originally a 3-star vice-admiral, but after sacrificing herself to destroy the kaiju 'Axe', she was posthumously promoted to a 4-star admiral.
Tang Yu, Zhou Qing, Zhang Ruijun, Chen Gang, and Kristina were all wearing black suits. They stood there quietly, watching the funeral with a heavy heart.
It has been 48 hours since the completion of the first stage of the mission. Although the second stage of the mission hasn't been released yet, they already know the impact of the first stage of the mission. After the 72-hour preparation time is over, they will be sent to 2018, five years later.
According to the system, a large number of level 4 kaiju will appear in 2020, and the kaiju will begin their counterattack. The higher the mission evaluation of the first stage, the more preparation time he will get before 2020. Their evaluation is A, so they will get two years.
This made Tang Yu and the others feel a little gratified. After personally witnessing the power of the kaiju, they are very glad that they still have time to prepare. They almost risked their lives and got the help of the entire US army. In the end, they had to launch a nuclear bomb to destroy the kaiju 'Axe'. It's just a level 2 kaiju!
A level 2 kaiju is already so terrifying, what about level 3? What about level 4? Or even level 5??? Whenever they think of this problem, Tang Yu and the others' hearts are heavy. After all, this is an epic mission.
After the funeral, Rear Admiral Scott put on his ceremonial hat again, straightened his face, then took off his white gloves and walked towards Tang Yu and the others. He didn't say much, just nodded at them, made an inviting gesture, then led them to a black SUV with a military license plate.
The car drove directly into the Pentagon in Arlington County, which was also in the National Cemetery, and came to a small conference room. There was no one in the conference room, so everyone sat down first.
"His Excellency the President will hold a solemn mourning ceremony this afternoon, laying wreaths for the more than 30,000 soldiers who died this time. But, I will not go, because for me, it is meaningless, because, I should go to die. However, because of General Nora Tyson's order, I have no choice but to live in humiliation. There is only one purpose, to completely destroy the kaiju! "Major General Scott said.
Tang Yu nodded and said. "I understand your thoughts."
"You are the biggest heroes of this kaiju invasion. Not only because you brought information about the kaiju, but also because you took the lead. I can see that you are brave warriors, so your past is not important. What's more, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have paid a very heavy price. Our casualties might have reached millions! "Scott shook his head, still immersed in the horror of the kaiju.
"How to fight against the kaiju, what we have shown you is just the beginning. There is still a lot of work to be done. What do you want to say by bringing us here? "Tang Yu asked.
"Let me explain this problem." A voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, then the Minister of Defense pushed the door open and walked in. Major General Scott hurriedly saluted.
The Minister of Defense looked at Tang Yu and the others and said. "The United Nations will hold a summit in Seoul, South Korea next month, on September 15, 2013. All countries in the world will participate. At this summit, there are two main topics. The first is how to fight against the kaiju. The second is the establishment of the P.P.D.C., the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Organization. Yes, this has already been decided. The summit is just a formality. "
The summit in Seoul was brought forward to September 15, 2013? It's a whole year ahead of the plot! It seems that his plan really worked! One year is enough for people to do a lot of things! Even without their 'spoilers' and guidance, it will still be the same! Then, after being teleported to 2018 by the system, he will see a more mature mecha hunter system!! Tang Yu thought happily.
Seeing that Tang Yu didn't speak, the Minister of Defense continued. "After careful consideration, we decided to jointly nominate the five of you as the first batch of members of the PPDC together with China. Major General Scott is the person recommended by our country to be in charge of the PPDC. In other words, you will become colleagues in the future. At the same time, the PPDC will also receive generous research and development funds and operational funds to fight against the kaiju. Note that the 'generous' I said is in the tens of billions of dollars! So, what do you think? "
Tang Yu and the others looked at each other and sighed. This condition can be said to be very generous. It can even be said that the Americans have shown the greatest sincerity. Most likely, it's because of the magical power of this group of people. If they agree so easily, with Tang Yu's technical strength, everything will be much smoother, but …
"What? Do you want to refuse? "The Minister of Defense noticed that their expressions were not right, his face suddenly sank.
Tang Yu shook his head and said. "It's not that we don't want to agree, it's that we can't agree …"
"Why?"
"Because we came from the future." Tang Yu finally decided to use this excuse. He sighed and said. "We were originally from 2018, but inexplicably traveled through the wormhole and arrived five years ago. That's why we know some things about the kaiju. However, because of our intervention, history has changed a lot, so we will be swallowed by the space and time turbulence again … In other words, we will disappear … "
The Minister of Defense and Scott were shocked. They looked at each other in disbelief.
"Are you kidding me? Space and time turbulence?! "The Minister of Defense shouted loudly." This is not a sci-fi movie! "
"If that's the case, then the wormhole that connects to other planets and the kaiju rush out from time to time to destroy us is more like a sci-fi movie!" Zhou Qing said.
"Wait a minute, you said that you changed history? Then what is the original history? "Scott was obviously concerned about other things, he asked.
"The kaiju landed in San Francisco, destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge, then plowed San Francisco to the ground. After that, they even rushed to Sacramento, and finally fled to Oakland, only to be killed by the military with a nuclear bomb. This happened six days later. In this incident, millions of people were killed or injured. In addition, because we couldn't confirm the intention of the kaiju, the summit in Seoul was held in September 2014. "Tang Yu said slowly.
The Minister of Defense took a deep breath, he said with fear. "No … without your reminder … things will almost certainly develop like this! We absolutely don't want to use nuclear bombs on our homeland … Oh my god … you … I don't even know how to thank you! "
"You don't need to thank me. We have given you all the information we know. I hope you can take care of yourself. If we can leave the space and time turbulence, maybe we will meet again in five years. "Tang Yu said with a smile.
