Chapter 1697 What a crime

"Disappeared?!"

Jiro Nishida frowned as he looked at the monster that suddenly disappeared in the city.

After saying this, he glanced back and forth below through the string window, trying to find out where the monster had gone.

"It seems so. The monster radar has no reaction at all."

Jiro Sakata glanced at the display screen of the onboard radar and spoke.

"Captain, what's the radar situation at headquarters?"

Upon hearing this, Jiro Nishida immediately contacted Kazuki Oyama at the headquarters.

"The monster's reaction has indeed disappeared, but just in case, Nishida and the others will remain on guard for another hour. If there are no abnormalities after an hour, return to headquarters."

Kazuki Ohyama glanced at the radar display at the headquarters, then exchanged a glance with Emi Shirono and spoke into the microphone.

"clear."

The team members immediately responded in unison.

"Oh, one more thing. Advisor, Prime Minister Manabe wants to see you. Do you plan to return to headquarters and contact the Prime Minister by phone, or report directly to the Prime Minister's office?"

At last, Dashan Yishu suddenly said to Gu Chen again.

"Eh?!"

Gu Chen was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Could it be that Prime Minister Manabe... watched their UGM live broadcast?

Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'd better go back to the headquarters and not go to the Prime Minister's residence to disturb the Prime Minister."

After saying that, the aerial vehicle driven by Gu Chen turned a graceful arc in the air and returned to the headquarters.

Not long after, Gu Chen walked out of the hangar. Instead of going to the war room, he went straight back to his office, picked up the phone and called the Prime Minister's Office.

……

At the same time, in an unknown space.

"The Asia-Pacific Earth Defense Force is truly worthy of being the largest Earth Defense Force. They discovered Salamander's weakness in such a short time and developed a tactic to attack it."

The leader of the Gorgon aliens looked at Salamanda who was killed by UGM in front of him. There was no look of heartache or anger on his face. Instead, he praised UGM with interest.

"Not only that, the combat proficiency of the defenders here is much higher than that of defenders in other regions, especially the highest-ranking officer here. He was the fighter pilot who devised the tactics that ultimately defeated Salamander."

"It's hard to imagine that the highest commander of a region's Earth Defense Force would risk his life like this, and possess such superb driving skills."

The other Gorgons also spoke one after another.

"Well, so this Earth Defense Force's highest commander named Gu Chen must not be allowed to stay."

"If we can kill him, we'll be able to cause enough chaos in the Asia-Pacific region. Then we just need to hide in the dark and fan the flames, and the world will fall into chaos without any attack."

A dangerous look flashed in the eyes of the Gergon leader. He looked at the video footage of Gu Chen collected by his men and sneered.

"How's the operation going in Europe?"

Finally, he became concerned about another plan that was in progress.

"According to our investigation, the situation in Europe is different from that in North America. It's difficult to target the highest commander, so we can only target the captain of the defense force. It may not be possible to cause the same commotion as in North America."

The Gorgon leader's subordinates immediately reported to him.

"Okay, got it. Let's continue as planned."

Hearing this, the leader of the Gorgon people was not surprised at all. He already had a basic understanding of the complexity of different countries and regions on Earth.

The more this happens, the more the Gorgons covet Earth.

……

"Commander Gu Chen, I want to ask you, how old are you this year?"

"If I remember correctly, he's already 34 years old."

"At your age, why do you still like to mess around so much?!"

"Do you know that your current position does not allow you to take such risks?"

"Do you know how much of an impact it would have on the entire Earth Defense Force if something happened to you?"

"Do you know how much of an impact this will have on the work we are doing right now?"

"I know you like to be active on the front lines of battle, and this style can really boost the morale of the team members. However, being active is one thing, but it doesn't mean you have to replace the team members and do what they should do."

"You are a leader, a commander. The situation on the scene is not so dire that you, the highest commander, need to fly a fighter plane to fight the enemy!"

"What will your teammates think of you if you do this? Do you think you are protecting your teammates?!"

"I thought you would become more mature and stable after having a child, but unfortunately, judging by the current situation, you are still the same, and even a little worse than before."

"Xiao Gu, that's all I have to say today. From today on, I hope you can give your teammates full trust. Don't let me see you taking risks again. Do you understand?"

In Gu Chen's office, Gu Chen held the microphone in one hand, listening to the rapid-fire voice of Prime Minister Manabe across from him, and obediently accepted the lesson.

"I understand, Prime Minister."

After hearing the last question, Gu Chen responded quickly to avoid Prime Minister Manabe thinking that he was not listening to the phone the whole time.

"I hope you will do what you say."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Manabe hung up the phone.

He was very busy with his work, and it was not easy for him to spare some time to come and teach Gu Chen a lesson.

Then, Gu Chen put the microphone back to its place and rubbed his ears.

"Oh, what a sin."

Gu Chen sighed as he leaned back and collapsed on the office chair.

After a while, someone suddenly knocked on the office door from outside.

Gu Chen quickly straightened up and said, "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hoshino Yong immediately walked in from outside with a panicked look on his face.

Before Gu Chen could ask, Xingye Yong shouted anxiously, "Advisor, something serious has happened. The captain of the Earth Defense Force's European headquarters has been assassinated. Although the highest commander there is not dead, he is also seriously injured and is currently receiving emergency treatment in the hospital."

"I see."

Hearing this, Gu Chen's brows immediately furrowed, and then he stood up and walked outside.

After a while, he arrived at the war room.

Seeing Gu Chen coming, Shirono Huimei immediately said: "Advisor, the European headquarters sent a communication and wants to contact you."

"Put it through."

Gu Chen nodded and walked straight to the center of the war room.

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Shirono Emi immediately operated a few times on the communication console.

Immediately, the figures of the European Headquarters defense team appeared on the big screen.
