"Well, thank you then."
After handling the matter at Qianjian's office, Li Xiang entered the conference room again.
Mephissla completely disregarded Li Xiang. When Li Xiang entered, he glanced at Po Shui, treating Li Xiang as if he were Po Shui's secretary or something similar.
Mephissla, however, was more curious about Sakami's ability to see through her disguise, so she deliberately acted more "gentlemanly" towards Sakami.
He started his own conversation without thinking.
"Then I'll continue... Strike while the iron is hot, that's a phrase I really like."
With a snap of his fingers, Mefilas created a holographic projection that appeared out of thin air in the conference room.
The other officials, as if they had never seen anything like it before, curiously looked it over.
"I think our goal is the same: to create a peaceful and prosperous world that spans the multiverse."
On the holographic screen, a PowerPoint presentation appeared, titled "Outline of the Self-Defense Plan for Human Giantification to Counter Aliens" (Draft).
“I don’t like violence, but I think that the use of force in self-defense, like that of Zalab, is a necessity.”
“I will soon provide you with a large number of Beta Boxes. In exchange, I hope you will treat me as a superior being and allow me to exist—of course, the current laws will remain unchanged so as not to cause any inconvenience to your lives.”
Then, Mefilas explained in detail the use and capabilities of the Beta Box.
The officials present, upon hearing of the immense power of the Beta Box, all began to waver.
Only Li Xiang and Po Shui remained unmoved.
Because both of them knew about Mefilas's plan.
Is the Beta Box used to force countries around the world into military preparedness, with the intention of triggering a world war?
"So, what is the decision of the Kurt team? Captain Sakakizumi, what are your thoughts?"
In the end, Mefilas handed over the final decision to Captain Sakami.
Or rather, it was handed over to the Kurt team.
Because Mefilas knew that if Captain Posui were smart, he would definitely reject the proposal, since Mefilas was playing a calculated move, preparing to provoke conflict and military preparations.
But faced with the Beta Box, even though humans know it's not a good thing, they can only be forced to get involved.
Moreover, it cannot make decisions for other countries.
Because while the Cottage is a global organization, its members have nationalities.
The world has tacitly approved the establishment of the Ivory Coast Guard, just like the establishment of peacekeeping forces. This does not mean that they will not intervene, because the Ivory Coast Guard is their way of intervening.
The Cottage itself represents global interests, but this position also makes it impossible for him to wield absolute power.
Therefore, Captain Sakami could only try to delay as much as possible.
“A very good proposal, the Beta Box... I think other countries would consider this proposal, but you know, such big things take time.”
The surface meaning of the water pressure suggests that the deal might be possible.
But it implies that it will take time.
But Mefilas was not in a hurry; he simply smiled and nodded.
"I understand. Business can be discussed slowly."
Chapter 94 Mefilas's Conspiracy, the Kurt Team's Plan.
The meeting with Mefilas ended, and the members of the Kurt team returned to their base.
The members of the Fate team were all forcibly pulled into the Science Team by Li Xiang. He then told them that they were now members of the Science Team, with five social insurances and one housing fund, as well as year-end bonuses. He told them to work hard and then they left.
The Kurt team was left completely bewildered.
And the annoyed Japanese officials, after all, Li Xiang was openly poaching people right under their noses.
They wanted to protest, but Li Xiang was too lazy to care about them anymore.
Because now Mefilas has appeared, and he's already unleashed a bombshell.
The Beta Box is something that will definitely plunge the world into chaos, so the Science Patrol is already quite busy in order to maintain world peace.
The Kurt team held a meeting, which was attended by several members of the Kurt team, including Kaminari, who arrived at some unknown time.
These were the experts who had the earliest contact with monsters and aliens, so Li Xiang specially invited them to attend the meeting, since they would be on his side from now on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the United Nations is already putting pressure on the Côte d'Ivoire."
Let's get straight to the point.
"Because of the Beta Box, the countries that support the Science Patrol have begun to prepare to reduce the Science Patrol's budget, and there are even proposals to disband the Science Patrol... Of course, these things won't happen in the short term, since it's still just a proposal. But what I mean is that the whole world already knows about the Beta Box, and military preparations have already begun."
At this point, physicist Akihisa Taki spoke.
"So, Captain Sakami, you shouldn't have agreed to Mefilas's proposal in the first place..."
But immediately, Captain Tamura, who was standing next to him, forced a pistol on Taki.
"Hey, Captain, what are you doing?"
"Taki, sitting here are the Science Patrol captain, the Science Patrol special advisor, and me, the old captain. I've just forced a gun on you. Does that mean you're suspected of trying to assassinate us?"
"What...what's going on?"
Taki looked at Captain Tamura with a puzzled expression.
"You forced this on me, what does it have to do with me?"
Taki carefully returned the gun to Captain Tamura.
Meanwhile, Li Xiang, who was standing to the side, knew what Captain Tamura was planning to do, so he smiled and began to explain.
"Because humans are just like you now. The Beta Box was forcibly handed over by the Mefilas aliens. What use is it if Captain Sakami agrees or not? Politics is complicated... So, since that's the case, it's better to agree verbally and buy some time."
“Well said.” Sakami Reihira finished explaining and then added his own explanation.
"Actually, there's another reason why I agree: the Beta Device came to us of its own accord, so why shouldn't we take it? I believe humanity won't fall into civil war over something like this."
Captain Po Shui looked at everyone, especially Li Xiang and Shen Yong.
Kaminari didn't say anything, because he was Ultraman and couldn't interfere with human decisions.
Secondly, what Li Xiang and Po Shui said makes a lot of sense. Humans have no other choice now. Besides, why should they refuse the Beta Box that has been delivered to their door?
He believed in Li Xiang and Captain Po Shui's decision. Originally, he was prepared to prevent humanity from agreeing to Mefilas's proposal, but now things were different.
Because it's quite obvious that neither Li Xiang, Po Shui, nor anyone else fully trusts Mefilas; instead, they continue to play the game and try their best to fight against Mefilas.
The very existence of the Kurt Team is proof that while there are fools around the world, there are also people who understand the current situation and continue to support the Kurt Team.
The Kurt Team is indeed another way for them to intervene in the world, but it also needs to have the idea of promoting world peace to be successfully established, right?
Intervening in the world is not inherently wrong; what is wrong is the purpose and process of intervention.
"Then, let's leave the current plan to Li Xiang."
The right to speak at the Poshui meeting was then passed to Li Xiang.
Because Sakami knows that Ryouki, being from another world, is the one who understands aliens the most.
This is a true expert.
Li Xiang then began to explain his plan.
First, we need to accelerate research on the Magus power system.
This is why Li Xiang wanted to poach the FOT team; he had been eyeing Taki Akihisa, this genius physicist, for a long time.
They were sent to study the Magus power system.
Now, the Magus power system may be the trump card to balance the Beta Box.
Because the Beta Box is, after all, alien technology, and humans may not be able to understand it in the short term, but the Magus power system is different.
Li Xiang once said that the Magneto propulsion system is a technology that will lead humanity into the universe.
It is a technology that can be truly mastered by humankind.
Therefore, the unknown high technology and the well-known technology can, to a certain extent, balance the contradictions.
Secondly, the Magus Bomb is quite effective in actual combat. Compared to transforming into a giant to defeat monsters, the Magus Cannon is a better choice.
Because of historical reasons, ethical issues have always existed regarding biological weapons.
Secondly, there's Shen Yong. Li Xiang needs Shen Yong to find time to talk to Mefilas, preferably to find out what his purpose is.
After all, he wouldn't gain anything from letting humans kill each other.
As for letting the gods go forever, it's because anyone could see from the negotiations just now that Mefilas didn't consider humans as human beings at all.
He appears polite and gentlemanly, but is actually arrogant and conceited.
Rude aliens.
Therefore, only Kaminari can talk to him on equal terms, because Kaminari is Ultraman, a well-known alien.
Li Xiang's plan was that if Shen Yongnai directly questioned Mefilas about his conspiracy and obtained evidence, then Li Xiang could go and kill Mefilas.
Upon hearing this, everyone except Po Shui cast questioning glances at Li Xiang.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Li Xiang shrugged.
"If we can achieve Mefilas's goal, and it is to harm humanity and destroy the earth, then it is reasonable, legal and compliant for us to take action and eliminate him. At least we have a legitimate reason to do so."
Asami looked as if he'd seen a ghost: "Rather than your idea of just killing him, I'm actually more curious about what technology the Science Patrol has that can take down that alien?"
"Well, that's a secret. Stay tuned!"
Then Li Xiang looked at Shen Yong.
"Kaminaga, what are your thoughts?"
Kaminari simply nodded.
"My thoughts are the same as yours, except I plan to eliminate him myself... However, there's something I haven't told you. I have the laws of our planet to abide by, which means I can't interfere with your decisions. You've already agreed to the deal with Mefilas, so I might not be able to act arbitrarily..."
"Of course, if possible, I will still help, because we are friends."
