The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 195 194. It's time to make a change

This is not a good sign.

In just a few years, the Kaiju that landed on Earth was upgraded from a level one monster to a level three monster.

Their size, weight and destructive power have also been greatly enhanced.

Marshal Steck realized the seriousness of the problem.

As the commander-in-chief of the "Hunter Plan", he invited representatives from the United Government and PPDC to discuss the future "strategies to deal with Kaiju".

Although the top officials of PPDC are unwilling to allow the United Government to get involved, it is bound to affect PPDC's control and influence over the Pacific Rim region.

However, with the performance of the United Government in recent Kaiju invasions, the recognition and acceptance of the United Government by the people in the Pacific Rim region has reached an unprecedented level.

PPDC had to admit that the coalition government was also an important force in dealing with the threat of the Kaiju.

The two sides conducted cooperation consultations on the landing of Kaiju in the Pacific Rim region, dispatching their mechas, and military forces to conduct military operations.

The United Government proposed real-time monitoring of the "alien civilization wormhole" device on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Once the figure of Kaiju appears, immediately track and guard it throughout the entire process.

Compared with relying on coastal alarms, it can provide at least half an hour of precious response time.

This proposal certainly has advantages and no disadvantages. The only problem is that the location of the "alien wormhole" device is in the "Challenger Deep" in the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean.

It is tens of thousands meters deep from the sea level, and with PPDC's technological means, it may take several years to prepare.

But this does not present a problem for the coalition government.

While the two sides were talking, several deep-sea exploration vehicles belonging to the United Nations government had begun diving into the Challenger Deep.

The combined strength and technological reserves of a four-dimensional coalition government far exceed ppdc's imagination.

Uninterrupted monitoring equipment for "alien wormholes", large-scale biological detection at sea level, sea area detection spacecraft and other equipment and technologies are already in place.

As soon as ppdc agreed, the coalition government informed the other party of the successful establishment of the "Kaiju Beast All-Weather Monitoring System".

The top officials of the PPDC realized belatedly that the United Nations government had surpassed them and began to lead the "active defense" in the Pacific Rim.

The time has come to January 2022, 1.

A level 3 Kaiju codenamed "Jackal's Spine" landed in Sydney.

Prior to this, the Coalition Government had already given advance warning and notified local forces in the Sydney area.

Not surprisingly, the nearly completed "Wall of Life" did not successfully block the "Jackal's Spine".

Fortunately, Marshal Stek arranged two mechas, Eureka Raider and Vulcan Ghost, to go to the battle.

The two sides fought a decisive battle in the suburbs of Sydney. In the end, "Jackal's Spine" was killed, Vulcan Specter was seriously injured and damaged, and the mecha pilot was martyred.

The pollution caused by the fighting also affected half of Sydney, and more than 12 citizens had to relocate to other areas.

On April 4, a level 3 Kaiju codenamed "Night Owl" landed in Singapore.

This is the first flying monster to appear among the third-level Kaiju.

A "Giant Crab" unmanned mecha arranged by the United Government was dragged to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then fell to the ground and was damaged.

In the end, it was only through the joint action of three "Octopus" and two manned mechas that the "Night Owl" was successfully strangled.

Sent to Tianyuan 4A for further research.

On July 7, a level 22 Kaiju codenamed "Demon Soul" landed in Manila.

The United Government dispatched four unmanned mechas and one manned mecha, and Marshal Stek also arranged for the Eureka Raiders to come for support.

However, in the end, the "Demon Soul" used "self-destruction" to destroy an unmanned mecha and seriously injured a manned mecha from the RU branch.

The Eureka Raiders that came to support were also severely damaged and had to be sent to the Shattered Dome Base in Hong Kong for major repairs.

On September 9, a level 7 monster codenamed "God of Desire" appeared in the South China Sea.

Marshal Stek sent the Dangerous Wanderer and the Storm Crimson to fight.

The coalition government also arranged several drones for support.

During the operation, the highly corrosive acid sprayed from the poison sac of the "God of Desire" covered the body of the Storm Red.

As a result, the joints of the mecha were corroded over a large area, and the electronic components, hydraulic transmission system, and weapon system were severely damaged, causing them to stop working on the spot and lose their combat capability. Fortunately, there were as many as 7 mechas coming to support them.

The unmanned mechas under the United Government have the Kaiju firmly under their control.

In the end, Liu Qi, who was driving the Dangerous Wanderer, controlled the giant chainsaw sword and killed the Kaiju.

A series of Kaiju attacks have caused damage or even destruction to the mechas.

In particular, the Storm Crimson, which they regarded as their "mainstay", suffered severe damage and had to be "returned to the factory for major repairs."

Marshal Steck felt very distressed.

He is not like the coalition government, which has such a rich fortune to squander.

If the United Government loses a mecha, there will be a spare mecha on standby to provide support.

Always keep at least fifty-five mechas on standby.

At least judging from the current frequency of Kaiju invasions, the coalition government is still able to cope with them with ease.

But for Marshal Steck, the situation was a bit difficult.

ppdc has long since cut off most of its financial support.

If it weren't for the support of the United Government, he would have been left without a single intact mecha to go into battle.

However, the support of the coalition government is limited after all.

With many mechas seriously injured and damaged, Marshal Stek only had a few mechas in good condition that he could use.

Only the Dangerous Wanderer and a few old first- and second-generation mechas can be put into combat.

Not only Marshal Stek, but even ordinary people in the Pacific Rim region can feel that Kaiju attacks are becoming more and more frequent.

What made them most angry was that the "Wall of Life", which cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build and was said to be able to replace the "Hunter Mech", was actually ineffective.

It is impossible to stop the landing of Kaiju, and at most it can only have a slight delaying effect.

But in the end, we still have to rely on giant mechas to deal with these damn alien monsters.

People across the Pacific Rim feel cheated.

Especially when Marshal Steck publicly announced that the "Hunter Project" was facing unprecedented financial difficulties and might not be able to rescue the PPDC-controlled areas in a timely manner in the future.

Countless people in the Pacific Rim region launched violent marches and demonstrations in panic and anger, demanding a response from the PPDC.

In this situation, the ppdc officials are also in a mess.

The funds spent on the "Wall of Life" project are no less than those spent on the "Hunter Mech".

By now, most of the funds for the "Wall of Life" have been used up.

PPDC simply does not have the financial resources to restart the "Hunter Mech" program.

So they had no choice but to bite the bullet and forcibly declare that everything was under the control of ppdc, and that the wall of life would play its due role when necessary.

However, people in the Pacific Rim region are not buying it. They are fed up with the hypocritical promises of politicians.

Violent demonstrations in various places have intensified, and even violent incidents of physical attacks against PPDC officials have begun to occur.

At the same time, the marchers began to raise the slogan "Either restore the Hunter Plan, or the PPDC steps down and hand over to the coalition government to rule."

The entire Internet was flooded with this slogan for a while.

The ppdc officials wanted to ease the public's anger through public opinion and the Internet, but they were frequently attacked by unidentified hackers.

Members of this unknown hacker organization even openly tampered with the PPDC official website into an "anti-PPDC rule propaganda base."

The anger of people in the Pacific Rim region has also affected the attitudes of countries in the region.

The regions have expressed that if PPDC does not take a reasonable approach, they will refuse to accept PPDC's leadership.

Under pressure from all sides, the top management of PPDC, who had held on for a month, had to announce their resignation.

The party within the PPDC that prefers to work closely with the coalition government came to power.
