Crocodile's Ark of Tomorrow

But more than one-third of the armor structure was damaged, and the money needed to repair it could reach half of the cost of building a complete high-speed warship.

How many high-speed warships are there in Colombia?

If this is a hostile country, the content of this meeting is not to discuss how to do it, but to discuss the issue of armaments and prepare for war.

War brings benefits!

As long as it is won, the gains from war far outweigh the losses.

However, to fight against an Adacles, a giant beast with windy legs, who can run away from Colombia at any time, and will have endless troubles as long as he can't kill him?

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

At the head of the meeting room, the gray-haired old man Volper said, "How about we listen to the opinions of His Excellency Blinken and Ms. Haynes?"

One of the two is the Minister of National Defense of Colombia, and the other is the Director of the Colombian Tobacco and Alcohol Spell Unit and the Originium Products Administration.

The two have the most say in the face of events that threaten Colombia's security.

"Your Excellency."

Before answering the question of the old man sitting on the main seat, the burly Ursus man raised his hand and looked at the Lupu woman sitting opposite him.

"Before I answer your question, I would like to ask Ms. Haynes, why did the warship receive information about an Adacles from the Sargon Rainforest instead of a giant beast before it sailed? With preparation, the soldiers I believe will never suffer such a heavy loss."

"Your Excellency Blinken, I'm sorry."

Opposite the burly Ursas man, the Lupo woman said without changing her face: "We don't have the means to detect a giant beast, until he shows extraordinary fighting power, we have no way to judge whether he is human or not. Still a god."

"This is not a reason for you to provide false information!"

"I have punished my subordinates, but I don't think his judgment based on the available information is wrong."

In the meeting room, the two of them confronted each other, seemingly forgetting what the old man really wanted to ask them.

"You two, now is not the time for accountability. The prestige of the Colombian Federation is really being challenged. If we fail to come up with a reasonable response plan, it may affect the credibility of our government."

The old man tapped the table with his fingers.

"I want to know what price we need to pay if we want to encircle and suppress that giant beast, and what is the probability of success."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the office suddenly fell silent.

I don't know how long it took before someone asked: "Your Excellency Blinken, according to your opinion, how many soldiers do you need to kill that giant beast?"

Hearing this voice, Blinken glanced at the Lupu woman opposite him, and cursed inwardly.

Damn *Colombian swear* Cousin!

"Your Excellency, for the sake of my soldiers, I have to tell you the truth."

The burly Ursus man said in a deep voice.

"With the combat power shown by that giant beast, unless he chooses to face us head-on and not run away, the possibility of us wanting to kill him is infinitely close to zero."

As soon as Blinken's words came out, the surrounding officials immediately caused an uproar.

"Mr. Blinken, please don't make others ambitious!"

Hearing the voice of the middle-aged man from the Liboli tribe who spoke first, Blinken said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty Carliss, I'm afraid you don't understand. Judging from the current information, the giant beast has no real meaning. weakness."

"His speed is very fast, his attack power is very strong, and his defense power can even withstand the bombardment of a warship's main gun without any damage."

"This means that if we want to hurt him, we must use the city defense artillery of the mobile city. Only by aiming at him can we have the possibility of killing him."

But it came back again.

"Moving cities can't catch up with him, and even high-speed warships can't catch up with his pace. If we want to catch him, we must set up an ambush, trap him in a combat environment that is beneficial to us, and limit his speed."

"So, what are we going to do?"

"Grab the people he cares about, persecute him, threaten him? How do we know that a giant beast really cares about ordinary humans like us?"

If the coercion fails, it means tearing the face.

Difficult to capture, impossible to encircle and suppress, if the opponent is angered, as far as they know, the giant beast has a long lifespan.

He can even toss with them for a century.

Who will bear such a price?

Colombia is not one of those ancient countries in the east, with a solid foundation, it is too young.

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with shaking hands and making peace."

Just when the atmosphere in the conference room fell silent, the director of the Tobacco and Alcohol Administration Bureau, a woman of the Lupo tribe, said: "From the performance of that giant beast, it seems that he doesn't want to be our enemy. Is it a good thing?"

"We in Colombia lack the precipitation of history, but what history can compare to a long-lived behemoth? If we can cooperate with him, what we lost this time will definitely be doubled."

"If you really can't save face, wouldn't it be more relieved to kick him away after we squeezed out all the value in him?"

It's not that the officials present didn't think of what Haines said, but no one wanted to say it.

Colombia, as the richest country in Terra, has to shake hands with others shyly after being slapped in the face. If this kind of thing gets out, the whole of Colombia will be reduced to a laughing stock.

However, for a country.

The so-called face and prestige, if not supported by sufficient strength, is just a loft in the air.

"And, as far as I know, that monster seems to be enjoying the game of working in a pharmaceutical company. It just so happens that the pharmaceutical company has recently discovered a new drug for the treatment of ore disease. We can properly support this company. Pharmaceutical companies, this is a good show."

Haynes' words made some officials frown.

"Isn't our attitude too low when we do this?"

After all, Colombia just didn't want to go to war with that behemoth, not that it didn't have the strength to go to war. If a war really wanted to start, even if the mere behemoth couldn't be killed, it could only leave their Colombian territory in despair.

"But what if I say that there is more than one monster standing behind the pharmaceutical company Rhein-Vital?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just a week ago, when we sent someone to intercept the team of Rhine Life Defense Director Seliya, a second giant beast appeared on the scene. It easily defeated the two armored teams, and half a day later, it appeared in the Thousands of kilometers away, we snatched a serum sample from Rhine Life for the treatment of ore disease."

Haynes, director of the Alcohol and Tobacco Administration, took out a document.

"If we want to fight against the giant beast that destroyed the warship, it means we have to face two giant beasts at the same time. I don't think our current strength has the confidence to go to war with two giant beasts."

When he said this, Haines also glanced at the Ursus man, which made the Ursas man let out a dissatisfied hum, but did not refute.

After all, Colombia is just an emerging country, and the lack of ancient heritage prevents them from mass-producing those powerful elite units.

If you want to deal with the strong, you can't use cannon fodder, you must have an existence with similar strength to restrain them.

Therefore, some new research experiments are imperative.

"Hey, do you have any objections? If there is no other proposal, we will adopt the proposal proposed by Ms. Haynes for the time being."

When the old man opened his mouth, even the middle-aged man of the Liboli tribe who strongly demanded to encircle Garde at the beginning shut his mouth.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"..."

The voices in the meeting room sounded one after another, and a farce came to an end.

However, not everyone knows everything that happened in the meeting room, and it will take some time before the news in the meeting room ferments.

During this time, in the eyes of some people, Crocodile Man was still the wanted criminal wanted by Colombia's secret police.

......

"What? Give up Gard!?"

In Tremont City, in Rhine Life's general management office, Muirseth's anxious voice sounded inside.

"If it wasn't for Gard, how could we have the support of the Tremont city government now? If he hadn't sacrificed himself in the hot land to obtain the potion for us, how could Rhine Life continue to be maintained..."

"Even without him, the development of Rhine's life will not stagnate."

Interrupting Muirseth, the governor of Rhine Life, a blonde beauty, Christen looked at the elf girl at her desk and said with a blank expression.

"We can exchange for the support of the military and cooperate with other companies. There are many ways to overcome difficulties, and medicine is just one of them."

"Then how do we explain to Director Seriya?"

Muirseth knew very well that as long as Christen made a decision, it would not be changed easily.

Although he often bickered when he was free, and the crocodile man always liked to bully her, but no matter what, Muirseth did not want him to be captured and imprisoned by the Colombian government.

"Mulseth, you should be very clear that with Rhine Life's current strength, we can't keep Saria and Gard at the same time."

Because of the news of the hot land ruins, the people from the Tobacco and Alcoholic Administration have already planned to silence all the insiders. Christen didn't know what happened in the hot land, but she knew that someone wanted to harm Serena.

Therefore, she tried her best to save Seriya from the people of the Tobacco and Alcohol Administration, although for a long time to come, Seriya may have to face a life of house arrest.

But this is the limit of what she can do.

As for Gard?

Who is that?

Perhaps because she felt that she was a little unreasonable, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of Christen's mouth. She looked at Muirsesth and comforted her: "Director Muirsesth, Mr. Gard does not necessarily have an accident. As long as he stays away from Colombia, even the Colombian agents may not be able to find him."

But what if he didn't know that agents of the Authority were looking for him and chose to return to Colombia?

Muleseth felt that his head was in a mess.

She felt as if she had returned to the time when she was wandering alone in the past, and she could only watch those who cared about her and those she cared about pass away one by one, but she was powerless.

What is she supposed to do?

Rhine Life is her sanctuary, if she opposes Christen, it is equivalent to abandoning her current sanctuary.

If there is no Rhine Life, where can she go?

"Mulseth, what can you do?"

Christen's voice sounded, she had already given Muirseth enough time, if Muirseth was not an excellent researcher, she would not waste so much time playing temper with Muirseth .

"I......"

Muirseth was about to speak, she thought, at least find a way to get the word out, tell Gard that there was no room for him in Columbia.
