Chapter 923 2 years
(Originally, there were still some contents that could be watered down, but after thinking about it, I decided not to water it down)
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
Gu Chen did not expect that "Ultraman Taro", which was released only one week after "Ultraman Ace" before he traveled through time, would now be released after a full two years.
A lot of things happened during these two years, such as Xiaoxue and Yamato's wedding which became a success because of Gu Chen's attendance, and the weddings of Ichiro Yamanaka and Maya, Hokuto Seiji and Minami Yuko, and Noriko Mikawa's pursuit of love, taking the initiative to pursue Ryugoro, who was ten years older than her. Finally, with Noriko Mikawa's persistent pursuit, Ryugoro's dream blossomed, and they officially established a relationship and got married not long ago.
In addition to these, the TAC team was disbanded and the ZAT team was established.
The ZAT team, whose full name is the Space Science Guard Team, is an elite team that succeeds the TAC team as the front-line combat team of the Earth Defense Force Far East Headquarters.
Regarding the selection of members, Shi Xinyu argued with representatives from all over the world based on the TAC team's usual performance and finally regained the right to select personnel.
However, representatives from all over the world still refused to agree on the recall of former defense team members, so Gu Chen had to give up the idea for the time being.
Therefore, under the leadership of Shi Xinyu, the personnel selection of the ZAT team was carried out in full swing, and after a series of selections and trials, the final candidates were finally determined.
However, when Gu Chen looked at the list of characters that was exactly the same as the original plot, the expression on his face was somewhat interesting.
He didn't expect that the plot would have such a great power of modification in this regard. Even with him as a variable, some things still remained unchanged.
When Shi Xinyu saw Gu Chen's expression, she thought that Gu Chen felt that the quality of the people on the list was not high enough, so she took the initiative to explain to Gu Chen the reasons why she selected the members of the ZAT team.
The first point is that Shi Xinyu observed that the atmosphere within the TAC team was not harmonious enough, so when selecting personnel for the ZAT team, he preferred candidates with easy-going personalities while ensuring their overall level.
Secondly, in the selection of the captain of the ZAT team, Gu Chen's tendency to meddle in other people's affairs was taken into consideration. Therefore, there was no need for a captain who was proficient in everything. It was just necessary to ensure that the captain could bring the team together. As long as the team had cohesion and the team members' overall personal levels were up to standard, coupled with the weapons that were unbanned and developed during the TAC team period, the team's combat effectiveness would not be too weak.
The last point is that in consideration of the problems that may arise when the team goes out to fight, a deputy captain position is specially set up to command operations.
In response to this, after listening to Shi Xinyu's explanation, Gu Chen didn't say much. He nodded and the matter was completely confirmed.
After the ZAT team members were confirmed, the handover ceremony with the TAC team followed. Then there were equipment updates and new fighters making their debuts.
Naturally, Gu Chen also got a new uniform. Although it looked a bit too flashy, it didn't matter. Good-looking people look good in anything. Gu Chen believed that with his ordinary looks, which were only slightly worse than those of the readers, he could still carry off this uniform.
After talking about the internal affairs of the Earth Defense Force, what remains are some international affairs.
I will not go into details here. You only need to know that Gu Chen once again became the center of attention in the international community because of the establishment of the Giant Turtle Monster Nature Reserve. After the press conference specially prepared for him by Chief of Staff Manabe, various international interviews and political invitations came to Gu Chen one after another.
In this regard, Gu Chen could not turn down all of them. He could only select some international interviews and political invitations with tears in his eyes, travel around the world without stopping, and successfully received a lot of flashes.
All of a sudden, Gu Chen became a big star in the world political arena like a rising star. Even Chief of Staff Manabe benefited a lot from him, and the operations in Sakura became smoother.
Apart from that, there are things like the little-known Dragon Country's "Moon Palace Project", which we will not discuss here for the time being.
……
A lot has happened on Earth in the past two years, and a lot has also happened in the universe.
First of all, with the joint efforts of the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness, the unrest in various parts of the universe has been quelled. Although an exact loss figure has not yet been calculated, through the statements of the surviving civilizations on the interstellar network, everyone knows that this cosmic unrest has brought huge damage to the universe.
Secondly, after the turmoil in the universe subsided, the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness quickly broke up, or in other words, the Kingdom of Darkness unilaterally tore up its cooperation with the Kingdom of Light and began to massively expand its sphere of influence. However, because the galaxies it annexed were all destroyed in the turmoil, the expansion of the Kingdom of Darkness did not cause an extreme reaction from other interstellar civilizations. It only caused strong uneasiness among the interstellar civilizations about the massive expansion of the Kingdom of Darkness.
For this reason, the Kingdom of Light also sent inquiries to the Kingdom of Darkness, wanting to find out what the Kingdom of Darkness was planning, but the result was obvious: the Kingdom of Light was also turned down, as if the feelings accumulated from the previous joint actions were forcibly cleared out at this moment.
However, given that the Dark Kingdom has not taken any more extraordinary actions at the moment, the Light Kingdom can only take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being.
Finally, let’s talk about what happened inside the Kingdom of Light.
After Juliano followed Elisa back to the Kingdom of Light and saw Seven who had gone mad due to excessive energy elements in his body, something happened that made Ultra Father and Ultra Mother very concerned.
At that time, the Silver Crusaders were trying a new treatment plan for Seven to see if it could solve the problems Seven was currently facing.
However, during this process, Seven seemed to have recovered his physical condition after the previous treatments, which caused the source of pollution in his body to breed a large amount of twisted dark power, causing Seven himself to go out of control.
At the critical moment, Alyssa rushed forward and tried to stop Seven, but to little avail.
However, Juliano's words made Seven suddenly quiet down.
It seemed that because he heard Yulianu's voice, Seven's sanity finally broke through the influence of the polluting power in his body and he recovered briefly, but soon fell into a coma due to the deterioration of his physical condition.
Through this incident, Ultra Father and Ultra Mother suddenly became interested in Julianne, and after a conversation with him, they came up with the idea of letting Taro go to Earth for training.
Anyway, now that the unrest in the universe has subsided, all that remains is reconstruction work and maintaining basic security. There is no need to send people to surround the Dark Kingdom and set up outposts, so manpower has become more than sufficient.
