712 、 The PPDC Deal
Stek Pendicos led everyone to the base. A staff member walked in front of them and handed them two badges. The information of Tang Yu and Kristina is printed on them.
"After receiving your call, I asked someone to register your identity in the base." Cai Tiantong said.
"I heard that you were swept into the space and time turbulence and disappeared for five years. It's really a pity. You missed so many wonderful things. But now, I'm showing you nothing but helplessness. " Stek stood in front of the elevator, then scanned his body from the device next to the elevator, then the elevator door opened.
Tang Yu followed Stek into the elevator, then the elevator started moving up. "I didn't come here to experience wonderful things, just like five years ago.
I came here to fight against the kaiju! I already understand the current situation of the world. It's really not optimistic. The current hunter mechs can fight against the kaiju, but it's based on the premise that the main invaders are level 2 kaiju. Once level 3 or even level 4 kaiju invade, the situation will be very bad. "
"However, those politicians and businessmen are not willing to believe it. They would rather stay in Europe's' Garden of Eden 'and live a luxurious life than invest money in the PPDC to fight against the kaiju. Australia has applied several times to develop a new generation of mechs to relieve the pressure of the Sydney base, but they have always been suppressed. "Stek sighed.
"According to the analysis of human sociology cases, the mindset of those politicians and rich businessmen should be that the kaiju won't be able to invade Europe in their lifetime, so they can live in peace for the rest of their lives. The possibility of this mindset is very likely, "Kristina said.
"You are right, they are indeed thinking like this. Because the endless kaiju are making them unable to see any hope of victory. In fact, this mentality has been around since 2016. "Cai Tiantong's tone was filled with helplessness.
"2016?" Tang Yu asked.
Stek explained. "Yes, 2016. At that time, we organized an attack on the wormhole, but it failed. Our attack had no effect on the wormhole at all. On the contrary, the nuclear bombs we dropped caused tectonic movements, increasing the activity of the wormhole by 3%. Therefore, after realizing that we can only passively defend, and the kaiju attacks won't stop, the attitude of those rich businessmen and politicians changed. "
"Since we can't defeat it, let's seize the time to enjoy ourselves. Anyway, what happens to the kaiju is none of their business …" Tang Yu sneered.
"Don't worry about those people. We are soldiers, warriors. The only thing we can do is to shed our last drop of blood on the battlefield." Styke said proudly, "So, what's your plan this time? Forgive me for being blunt, but after being separated from this world for five years, I believe that what you can do is very limited. "
"I need the Hunter mech and all the information about the Broken Top Base. I want to build my own Hunter mech," Tang Yu said calmly.
Styx's expression suddenly changed, and he snapped, "Are you kidding me?! I'm grateful that you saved my sister, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! I believe that even if General Scott was here, he wouldn't agree to your whimsical request! "
"Speaking of which, where is Scott?"
Where's Scott? "Tang Yu wasn't worried about the angry Stick at all. He just looked around thoughtlessly.
"General Scott is stationed in the Hong Kong base. He is now the supreme commander of the PPDC. Styke and Kelly Hansen are second only to him. They are stationed in the Anchorage base and the Sydney base respectively. This is the iron triangle of the PPDC. "Cai Tiantong explained in a low voice.
"Okay, don't joke around, okay? Tang Yu, I believe that you came here to help. In fact, as long as your request is not so … uh, outrageous, we are very willing to help you. "Lucas Pendicos hurriedly came over to smooth things over.
Styke just stood there with a long face. His long military career has made his eyes extremely sharp. He just stared at Tang Yu. He wants to know what the man who saved his sister and made great contributions to the first kaiju appeared five years ago. What does he want from him? Currently, Styke is one of the main leaders of the PPDC. His words and actions are for the sake of the entire PPDC!
Tang Yu turned a blind eye to Styke's stare. He spread out his hands and said with a smile. "This is a deal, you know? Styke. We have a common enemy, the Kaiju. That's why I made this deal. The basis of this deal is the trust between us. Then, there's the thing that needs to be traded between us. As I said just now, what your PPDC can take out is the design materials of the 'Broken Top' base and the hunter mecha. But don't you want to see what I have? "
"I don't think that you, who has been out of touch with this world for five years, can do anything by yourself. What qualifications do you have to trade with the entire PPDC?" Styke said with a cold face.
"What does your PPDC need the most?" Tang Yu asked rhetorically.
Styke curled his lips, as if he didn't want to answer at all. Luca also smiled awkwardly. She also felt that Tang Yu is a bit too much. Only Cai Tiantong was still full of enthusiasm towards Tang Yu. He said loudly. "Money! We need money! A lot of money! "
Tang Yu pointed to Cai Tiantong and said to Styke with a smile. "Look, isn't the answer already out?"
"Do you have money? Or do you know how much it costs to build a hunter mecha? Forget it, let me tell you. The cost of building a 4th generation hunter mecha is 75 billion USD! Daily maintenance alone costs 2 billion USD every year! Every time it is deployed, including fuel, consumption, and maintenance, it costs an average of 500 million USD. If the damage is serious, the cost will skyrocket! So tell me, do you have that much money? "Styke said coldly.
"Let me tell you my plan. I want to build a new 'Broken Top' base near Kudat, Malaysia, and develop and manufacture our own hunter mecha. The related costs will be borne by my Guardian Group, and the maintenance costs in the future will be borne by us. As for the guarantee, I hope that you or General Scott can vouch for me, so that those people will pay for it. "Tang Yu said.
"If we can build a 'Broken Top' base at half the price and equip it with the corresponding hunter mecha, we can further improve our defense circle along the Pacific coast, and further strengthen the defense of City M, which has been invaded several times. This plan is very feasible, but the question is, why should I vouch for you? "Styke asked rhetorically.
Tang Yu took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Styke. Styke looked down and found that the business card was actually a miniature LED screen. The screen changed to display the Guardian Group's LoGo, business scope, and personal information of Tang Yu.
