Ultraman, is this defense team up with you?

Kirisaki: "Based on the above, my initial assessment is that the fusion aliens are likely friendly."

Then, the scene of the Destroyer Orochi, strengthened by Asuna, overwhelming the original body was shown, along with a comparison of Gomora being subdued and then released, which also became stronger.

"In addition, another alien has appeared and has also set his sights on the monsters and their corpses. Although he does not have the ability to fuse, he does have the ability to control and enhance monsters. You can clearly see the difference in the behavior of the Destruction Serpents, especially the one that just destroyed Zetton, which possessed advanced intelligence. I guess he may also be friendly."

"The guess makes sense, but we can't let the other side get away with it like that."

Yoshioka stepped forward to express his opinion.

"If he is an aggressor with the intention of conquering the earth, and his friendliness is just a facade, waiting to accumulate enough power before invading the earth, then our indifference will be a sword that will be used against us."

Ye Cheng: "..."

Ye Cheng subconsciously looked at a certain mature woman with long, straight black hair.

Now that they've formed a three-person team, he naturally knows some of the details.

From Carmilla, Ye Cheng learned about her past as a dark giant, the rumors about Hitram, Dagon, and parts of the Eternal Core, as well as Carmilla's dream of becoming queen.

At first, Ye Cheng did not accept it.

But Ye Cheng asked Carmilla what she planned to do after becoming the leader of Earth.

Her answer was to allow people on Earth to work a maximum of eight hours a day, prohibit forced overtime, work a maximum of five days a week, provide benefits on holidays, and allow husbands to stay home with their children during maternity leave...

In short, after hearing this, Ye Cheng was eager to make Carmilla take over.

But strictly speaking,

Carmilla is not from Earth, after all. At most, her species is the same as his. It wouldn't be wrong to say that she is an alien who invaded and occupied Earth.

When Ye Cheng looked at Carmilla, she happened to be looking at him as well.

Their eyes met, and Carmila gave a sweet smile, but the contrast with her mature and sophisticated aura created a strong sense of incongruity, making her look somewhat silly.

It's true that she was quite naive; didn't she realize that these people were on guard against her?

"I agree too!"

All the senior executives, including Sawai, expressed their support for this judgment.

According to Sawai, humans can accept alien friends, and even alien friends who are slightly stronger than themselves, but they absolutely cannot accept friends who are far ahead of them.

That would easily turn Earth into the other side's vassal or puppet.

Orochi's current state is already outrageous enough. Adding Zetton would be somewhat acceptable, but if more are added later...

Then the Earth would truly be at the mercy of others.

Fortunately, the appearance of the zero-gravity bullet provided a new solution to the problem of fighting monsters like Zetton.

Yoshioka silently calculated in his mind that the production of zero-gravity bombs must be increased immediately, and multiple versions with different yields must be manufactured.

But there's no need to say these things to everyone in the room.

Some matters should be heard by the Victory Team and other branch directors, but decisions concerning the survival of the Earth only need to be reported to the soon-to-be-appointed new director.

Yoshioka understood the importance of meticulousness and confidentiality better than anyone else.

"I think... perhaps we can try to show them goodwill first, such as recruiting them to join the official team to fight for the protection of the Earth, giving them appropriate rewards, and cooperating more closely."

What Sawai didn't say was,

This is also a test. If someone actually comes, it means that the other party is likely inclined to cooperate with humans, or at least has the confidence not to be harmed by humans.

But no matter how you consider it,

It's always better to experience it firsthand than to know nothing at all.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Hiiragi Hiroyuki, who immediately objected, fell into deep thought.

Even though Sawai didn't say it, everyone could naturally see the hidden benefits.

And is it really okay to not allow the other party to appear on the human side?

Even He Zhi, who was thinking of eliminating the enemy first.

When faced with the choice between letting the other person run wild and letting them stay under one's nose, one would still choose the latter.

He Zhi's extremism stemmed from the death of his teammate.

He was nowhere near as bad as Hiiragi Hiroyuki, who was almost overwhelmed by guilt to the point of going mad.

and……

Is there a chance that the new TPC director will be a hawkish candidate?

One reality we must face is...

From the opponent's perspective, He Zhi did not believe that the doves would not maximize the value of Tsuchibashi Yu's card.

If the public were to learn that Yuichiro Tsuchibashi was dragging all of humanity into this mess, they would definitely be disappointed with the hawks.

Objectively speaking,

Even though the hawks are powerful, they are only powerful; they are far from having absolute power. Otherwise, Yoshioka, the police chief, would have accompanied Sawai to North Africa long ago.

Under these circumstances, the hawks are no longer able to secure the director's position.

However, if power is excessively given to Yoshioka...

Yoshioka is absolutely capable of keeping all parties in a state of restraint and stability.

Once things stabilize, public sentiment and the general trend will shift towards the doves.

This is the crisis that He Zhi must consider right now, and one that he cannot accept. He still has many things he wants to do and must do.

Compared to Yoshioka,

After hearing Zejing's words, He Zhi suddenly had a better option in mind.

That's right, it's Sawai who proposed accepting aliens at this very moment.

Compared to doves like Yoshioka and Gondo, Sawai is the most dove of all.

Let's see what he did.

At this moment, V99 is retaliating against Earth, alien invasions are occurring one after another, and dark giants are attacking humanity.

Sawai actually wants to cooperate with aliens?

They even want to recruit aliens to join TPC?

He Zhi could only wish him good luck.

Letting Sawai go up there has obvious advantages, but it also carries a huge risk of alien rebellion.

It's estimated that it won't be long before a similar tragedy occurs, like the one involving Yuu Tsuchihashi recruiting Zettonians.

This is not to say that He Zhi is happy to see this kind of thing happen.

It's not that there's nothing we can do!

Regardless of whether Sawai will do it or not, as long as the aliens have ulterior motives, they will inevitably cause trouble.

He was merely going with the flow.

Also, prepare countermeasures in advance for those who take the bait.

When the people have witnessed the weakness and mistakes of the doves, and seen his lightning-fast suppression, they will naturally hand power back to the hawks.

Moreover, although both are doves, Sawai has her own principles and bottom line.

Otherwise, the person who proposed the TPC idea should have had a bright future, so how could he have ended up being exiled to the North African branch, and even the position of branch director was only obtained through Yoshioka's intercession?

As for their relationship,

It's useless.

Public matters are public, and private matters are private; He Zhi could clearly distinguish between these, as could Yoshioka and Sawai.

Even if we put Sawai in the position, the other side won't become a puppet of the doves.

Moreover, the faction of doves became the director, which the doves could nominally accept, but at the same time, Sawai had no faction of his own to rely on, and was practically a lone commander.

From any perspective, sending Sawai to the front lines is the best option for the hawks.

“Compared to that, I think the most urgent task right now is to select a new director of TPC headquarters.” He Zhi simply brought up this important matter himself.

coming!

Everyone present tensed up and became alert.

Even Carmilla perked up, glancing intently at He Zhi, then at Ye Cheng, before reaching out to tug at Ye Cheng's arm.

Ye Cheng: "..."

Don't look at me like that. It's no use looking at me. It's too early for you to think about climbing the social ladder.

Seemingly sensing Ye Cheng's determination,

Carmilla immediately turned to look at Jugglus Juggler.

However, Jugglus had already wisely turned his head away while Carmilla was pestering Ye Cheng.

Carmilla looked at Jugglus Juggler, who had his back to her and never turned around, and how could she not understand that he was doing it on purpose?

For example, the pink milk dragon wanted to seize power, but was arrested by the light guards. When it tried to find teammates to help, it found that one of them just watched and the other had simply disappeared.

He instantly transformed into a pink-haired dragon, gritting his teeth and puffing out his cheeks with resentment.

Staring at Ye Cheng with resentment,

Why not just give it a try? Why not try recommending the great Carmilla?!

The situation here was naturally not noticed by the other higher-ups.

"What does Director He Zhi mean?" Yoshioka threw the question back to He Zhi.

The advantage lies in the pigeon; he's not in a hurry. Whoever gets anxious first will be at a disadvantage.

"Given the mistakes made by Yu Tsuchihashi's radicalism, I believe we should recommend a more prudent choice who has made sufficient contributions but is not too radical."

Yoshioka's lips curled up slightly. "So?"

Gondo and Sawai were both ready to clap and celebrate Yoshioka's successful rise to power.

"Therefore, I recommend Director Sawai to serve as the new head of the GUTS headquarters."

Gondo and Sawai instinctively clapped, shook hands with Yoshioka, and congratulated him.

But soon, they realized something was wrong.

Sawai: "Who? Me!?"

Sawai was just there to make a brief appearance, and she never expected He Zhineng to say something like that.

"Is Director He Zhi joking with me, this old man?"

"No, I'm not kidding. Director Sawai proposed the establishment of TPC, and as the founder of this great organization, he is the most suitable person to take on this position."

He Zhi spoke from the bottom of his heart.

As an opponent, he didn't want Sawai to go up, but that didn't mean he thought Sawai was unworthy of the position.

He used to not allow Sawai to go up, but now he has no choice, right?

Sawai: "? This... I don't think I'm up to the task."

Sawai said this not because she was discouraged by her previous experiences, nor because she felt unworthy.

Sawai was very clear that he had little foundation.

Once they get up there, they won't even have any of their own people. If they give orders, no one will carry them out, and in the end, they'll just be sidelined.

This would harm all of humanity, something Sawai absolutely cannot accept.

"Are you worried that the hawks won't carry out your orders once you're in there? I can assure you, I will definitely carry out your orders."

"Rest assured, the police department will fully support your operation."

Although Yoshioka was somewhat frustrated, he still expressed his opinion and patted his old friend on the shoulder.

"You deserve this position."

While feeling frustrated, Yoshioka did not believe that He Zhi's scheme would succeed.
