Chapter 268 Lin Yeming's Ideas, Summoning the Branch
Kijima paused slightly, immediately recalling the scene of all the branches gathering together before.
At the meeting, she angrily denounced the various branches for turning back the clock and re-equipping themselves with weapons.
The representatives at the time were the Asian branch, the European branch, the African branch, the American branch, and the Oceania branch, as well as the head of the Victory team at her headquarters.
Asia is the region that most supports him.
However, being from the Asian branch, he suffers from a severe fear of insufficient firepower.
So their support for her as the captain of the Victory Team was only because of Lin Yeming's influence.
Megumi's thoughts drifted back to that tense meeting, the scene of the representatives from various branches arguing fiercely still vivid in her mind.
That meeting, which was supposed to be a routine briefing, turned into a heated debate over the issue of escalating military buildup.
“Weapons will only bring more weapons!” She stood firmly at the conference table, her voice resolute and passionate. “The TPC was founded to protect the Earth, not to turn it into a battlefield!”
Conrad, the representative of the European branch, coldly retorted: "Captain Kei, idealism is useless in the face of real threats."
"Every time the monster attacks, the GUTS team is unable to stop it."
Wilson from the Americas division also shook his head: "Without enough firepower, we can only watch helplessly as the city is destroyed."
The only person who explicitly supported her position was Wang Jianjun from the Asian branch, but even Wang Jianjun was aware of the nuances involved, and his support was largely due to Lin Yeming.
Since Lin Yeming was transferred from the China branch to headquarters, the relationship between the Asia branch and headquarters has improved significantly, but it has also brought about a subtle dependence. Wang Jianjun sees Lin Yeming as his future successor, which makes the Asia branch more tolerant of headquarters' policies, as long as Lin Yeming is involved in the decision-making process.
“The Asian branch suffers from a severe fear of insufficient firepower…” Megumi recalled, and this statement was not entirely without merit.
The trauma of war in the last century has left the entire Asian region with a mixture of desire and fear for armed forces, a ambivalent sentiment that is particularly evident in the decision-making of TPC Asia.
Back in reality, Megumi gazed at Lin Yeming, a complex emotion passing through her mind.
This young scientist has quietly become the link between the various divisions, and now he proposes to bring them together again to deal with the threat to the Machine Island.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Megumi asked cautiously. "The tensions after the last meeting haven't completely eased yet."
Lin Yeming nodded calmly: "This time is different, Captain. This isn't a political debate about whether or not to arm ourselves, but a real threat to the safety of all humanity. The energy patterns of the Mechanical Island indicate that it may operate in multiple regions simultaneously. We need to integrate global resources to deal with it."
"Of course, the most important thing is to let the people in each branch experience the difficulty of dealing with monsters, instead of just complaining."
"Lucia and Zara are doing their best to save people."
"Even with satellite warnings, the sudden appearance of the monster will cause enormous damage."
As he spoke, he opened his computer and brought up a series of data charts: "Look here, the energy fluctuation pattern shows that it has the ability to decompose and recombine, and theoretically it can appear in multiple locations on Earth at the same time."
"Even with Tiga's help, our Victory Team alone cannot cope with the multi-point breakthroughs around the world."
Megumi was persuaded, and she agreed to invite Director Sawai over to discuss combat cooperation among the various divisions.
