The four ed in a video conference This was an unprecedented event They did not even gather during dire ti the Gulf War All of this took place for the first time all because of one anization
With Lockheed Martin’s lead, the four companies had propped up almost the whole of America’s defence and the war system From the skies to the ocean, these four companies had made their products to cater to different battles They were the driving force behind Ae in every field until the eanization
The Chinese man and his colobally renownedthem in the throat
“Madam Folsom, if it wasn’t for your episode at the Boao Forum, ould’ve remained blissfully unaware that there was an AE Research Centre in America Hmph, what a bunch of idiots! They helped create a superman as our enemy!” said CEO Michael Ram
“Is there only one AE capsule?” questioned CEO Forster “If it isn’t the only one created, why are we not creating ood term to coin him” CEO McCali of Raytheon Co, he is only a e of human evolution I think he’s a man that’s a few tens of years ahead of us or even what humans would be like in another hundred years”
Folsom responded, “It doesn’t matter how far ahead he is His existence threatens us It only took him a few years to surpass us in the land weaponry aspect If a as to happen in the later years, would our armies dare to attack them?”
General Dynamics’ CEO Forster uttered, “We’ve already accepted his challenge The M1A3 main battle tanks produced by us should be the world’s anization’s ZTZ100more than a joke At this rate, General Dynamics will be surpassed and Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Co Company will not be spared as well”
“Isn’t that a little too exaggerated?” CEO Michael Ram wasn’t on board with that stateerated at all I’ve oing into drone production next With the way things are progressing, he’sto create a drone that will surpass ours”
“Really?” CEO McCali wasn’t convinced
“I can’t deduce if Xia Lei was telling the truth but I can tell you that his coent lathe, which is the Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe and its second generation The equipment can provide Thunder Horse with the most precise parts required Other than that, Xia Lei had obtained Artificial Intelligence technology from the japanese With these foundations and the support froovernment, it’s not impossible for Xia Lei to create an advanced drone”
At this point, CEO Forster voiced, “I agree with Madaanization has yet to involve themselves with the air force, the weapons they’ve produced have greatly diardless of the XL2500 sniper rifle, gust assault rifle, hell-bound One Soldier Cannon or the Sweeper infantry fighting vehicle and ZTZ100 le product of his has made ours irrelevant As soon as they venture into the air battle aspect, we’ll e as well This threatens our global leadershi+p and influence!”
“Madam Folsom, just be direct What are the President’s plans?” questioned CEO McCali
“The president has his own plans but we should have plans for ourselves His presidential term is about to end and he’ll be spared from the mess But we’d still have to face threats from Thunder Horse Therefore, we must have our own plan,” insisted Folsoovernment had always been controlled by Wall Street Arms trade was an important source of income Anyone who dared to interfere with the interests of the consortia would pay a great price To be frank, even the American president was afraid of these consortia They were, in fact, the boss behind this world hegeun ownershi+p had failed despitein and out of office How could that be interpreted as a democracy?
“My plan is simple, we need to hire so to hire an assassin? If that is your plan, then I must say that it’s ridiculously naive Three tanks couldn’t even lay a finger on Xia Lei You must remember that he is advanced and evolved” CEO McCali wasn’t satisfied
Folso to hire an entire special agency Have you heard of the FA Organization? That organization has experience dealing with Xia Lei They can get the job done”
“What do we have to offer?” questioned CEO McCali
“Money, weapons and so with intel and political support,” answered Folsom
“Political support?” General Dynamics’ CEO Forster paused “Mada to?”
Folso to a representative fro up their requireal status and to be taken off the government’s hit list If it’s just weapons and al status and its naone from the hit list, it would require collaboration from the four of us”
“No proble on it”
“I’m on board”
“Count reement without hesitation
Folsoht, that’s settled I’ll contact you again after I confirht”
