Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2039 The Bowing Down of Nigel Heavy Industries!

"Lily scent!!!"

A cry rang out, and a burly figure rushed over, pushing away Yuuka Yuto, whose face, initially filled with joy, quickly turned to one of disgust. In the end, however, he sighed helplessly and silently comforted the father who was weeping with joy at the long-awaited reunion with his beloved daughter.

The people around were already used to it and turned their attention to the other side.

He Ming is meeting with Mingyue Yong (Chiyue Liu), the head of the Nierga Heavy Guild.

The faction that was originally part of the Earth Alliance was able to join the Earth Federation and quietly live their lives in their own little corner of the world, largely thanks to the efforts of the Nierga Heavy Guild Master, Mingyue Yong (Chiyue Liu), in maneuvering within the Federation Council.

"I've long admired your name! I never imagined that Colonel Fa Zuiming was actually General He Ming, a hero from the One Year War. This deception was truly brilliant."

Mingyue Yongfa praised him from the bottom of his heart.

There was a reason for it, and we had no choice but to do it.

Since revealing her identity, He Ming has become accustomed to these compliments.

"Now, let's get down to business! Guild Master Akizuki Eiji, or should I call you Akatsuki Ryu?"

He Ming's words startled the other party for a moment, then he showed a knowing expression.

"No, you can just call me Mingyue Yong. General He."

Mingyue Yong was surprised, never expecting that He Ming would expose his plan, which he had wanted to carry out but could not be put into action due to the dramatic changes in the world and the disappearance of the Nadeshiko.

"Then, President Mingyue, please tell me about your difficulties. If possible, I will provide assistance as appropriate."

Without any probing or concealment, He Ming directly stated his purpose for coming here.

Mingyue stared at Heming in disbelief.

Besides being pointed out by He Ming about the plan that failed to be implemented, there was an even bigger surprise waiting for him.

"General He, shouldn't we sit down and talk this over as is customary?"

Mingyue smiled bitterly.

"No, that's the kind of tactic used by businessmen and politicians. As a soldier, I'm used to being straightforward and getting things done quickly. Besides, we don't have that much time to leisurely chat over tea right now."

He Ming's decisiveness made Mingyue Yong realize that a decision had to be made today.

Otherwise, Nigel Heavy Industries might be confiscated under some pretext.

This was an outcome that Mingyue Yong neither wanted to see nor accept.

“Nierga Heavy Industries is aware of the Federation’s industrial assessment and has made the necessary preparations to cooperate at any time.”

After a moment of silence, Mingyue Yong finally lowered his head.

Time waits for no one.

Having witnessed the outbreak of the black hole crisis and briefly plunged into that endless abyss of annihilation, Mingyue Yong knew that neither he nor the generals of the original Earth Alliance could prevent this moment from arriving.

“A very wise decision, President Mingyue. Now, President Mingyue, please contact Representative Gop within 72 hours and prepare for the review team.”

After He Ming finished speaking, he got up and left.

As Mingyue Yong watched He Ming leave, his expression turned somewhat ferocious, but he quickly calmed down.

His subordinates dared not step forward when they saw this, until a burly figure walked over, and Mingyue Yong slowly spoke.

"Commander Yu. I never imagined that even the moment of reuniting with your beloved daughter wouldn't make you lose your temper!"

"No. I am no longer a commander. President Mingyue. I have already made the decision to retire."

When Miyuki Yurika's father, the former commander-in-chief of the Earth Alliance, Miyuki Koichiro, spoke, he shocked Akatsuki Eiji immensely.

"I didn't expect you to be so decisive, Mr. Koichiro." "Heh! Perhaps! This era no longer belongs to us. After the Black Hole Crisis, I've been pondering a question, but after seeing Yurika return, that question has become irrelevant. So, the Earth Alliance has been scattered like the wind."

"Now, this Earth can only be protected by the Earth Federation Forces."

Mingyue Yong let out a long sigh.

"Indeed. I can no longer understand this era! The world outside the solar system may be a world I cannot reach."

What Mingyue Yong thinks is not important to Heming.

After the other party conceded defeat and was willing to hand over Nigel Heavy Industries' technology, he had already lost the opportunity to negotiate with the Earth Federation Forces.

The only difference is that he will still be the president of Nigel Heavy Industries and still have astronomical wealth, but he will no longer have the power to interfere in the military and politics as he did in the original timeline.

This will likely cause Mingyue some distress, but it will allow him to live comfortably for a while.

"Um, brother. Where are we going?"

After concluding his negotiations with Akira, He Ming met up with Hoshino Ruri, who was waiting for him in the car, and ordered the convoy to drive into a secret research institute of Nierga Heavy Industries.

As she watched the changing scenery around her, Hoshino Ruri seemed to sense something and turned her questioning gaze to He Ming.

"Yes, I'm going to pick someone up."

He Ming nodded and reached out to rub Hoshino Ruri's little head.

"Pick someone up?"

Hoshino Ruri narrowed her eyes, seemingly enjoying the intimate interaction between He Ming and her, but her little brain was still pondering this question.

"Are you a technician?"

"No! It's someone similar to you. Ruri."

He Ming shook his head and carefully chose his words to reveal the truth.

Lapis Lessuri.

Like Hoshino Ruri, she is an IFS operator created by NieRga Heavy Industries using genetic manipulation technology.

Although Hoshino Ruri and Lapis Lessuri may not be related by blood from a genetic point of view, they are, in a sense, sisters who share the same fate.

"People like me?"

Filled with doubt, Hoshino Ruri followed He Ming to a research institute where an experiment was being conducted. There, she saw a small figure sitting in the experimental cabin of a simulated battleship, operating the equipment according to the instructions of the researchers.

"General, Miss, this is our institute's latest research achievement, the IFS controller..."

The researchers who had been waiting for He Ming and Hoshino Ruri rushed forward to greet them, but He Ming stopped them by raising his hand.

"The experiment is over! From today onwards, the technical direction of this research institute will be adjusted. Until the adjustment is completed, you will all have a wonderful vacation and ample pay."

These unexpected words left everyone in the lab completely stunned.

They had originally hoped to make a good impression on General He Ming in order to obtain more research funding and resources, but they never expected such an outcome!

"this···"

"This is not a discussion, it's an order! From this moment on, cease all research and clock out!"

He Ming issued the order in a tough manner.

"And then, have a wonderful holiday!"
