Ultraman, is this defense team up with you?

Upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, Tsuchihashi Yu's expression darkened further.

"Yoshioka!?"

"Is this the kind of person our TPC director would retaliate against frontline warriors who protect the Earth without any evidence, simply because of personal grudges?"

Tsuchihashi Yu came here with the intention of acting first and informing later.

At this moment, they naturally understood that the opportunity had been lost, and it was no longer possible to do whatever they wanted.

"Carmilla is removed from her position as vice-captain of the Victory Team and transferred to the North Africa branch to serve as captain of the Special Investigation Team. In addition, Victory Team captain Hebikura Shota and Victory Team member Ye Cheng are also transferred to the North Africa branch as members for disrespecting their superiors."

With a livid face, Tsuchihashi Yu announced the true arrangement that he had been preparing for all along.

His eyes met those of Hebikura, and a mischievous glint appeared on Tsuchibashi Yu's face.

You like protecting your subordinates? Then I'll make you the subordinate of the instigator, and I bet you'll have complaints.

Yuu Tsuchibashi observes Shota Hebikura's reaction with a meaningful gaze.

Unfortunately, Shota Hebikura seemed completely unconcerned about the matter.

Feeling displeased, Tsuchibashi Yu had no choice but to look away and glance at the people who had come over. "How is it? Are you all satisfied with this arrangement?"

I thought it was just that old geezer Yoshioka leading a bunch of doves to annoy me.

But what made Tsuchibashi Yu's pupils shrink was that he saw the hawks appearing in the crowd.

He was especially furious when he saw that, apart from the branch director Hiroshi Hirai and He Zhi, who were not originally from his faction, there were even some of his own faction's young comrades who had formed a chief of staff to betray him.

"Form a union? Are you planning a rebellion?!"

When asked the question, Makoto Yuuki scratched her head and glanced somewhat guiltily at the big shots in front of her.

"Director, no, I just happened to be with a few other branch directors."

"Then tell me, what brings you here at this time?"

While suppressing his anger, Tsuchihashi Yu was finally somewhat relieved, at least his core support base was intact.

"I saw that Chief of Staff Gondo submitted a plan for artificial mechanical Ultra Warriors, and I feel that it is necessary to implement it immediately. I also want to participate in leading it, so I came to report to you."

Helotia: "?"

You want to take the lead? What are you?

Great, now we don't have to worry about taking sides.

"approve!"

With Tsuchihashi Yu agreeing, Helotia immediately raised her hand, "If you're going to fire the captain and the others, take me with you!"

Helotia declared that she wouldn't take this lying down.

This scene truly surprised Ye Cheng and the others, as well as Tsuchihashi Yu and the others.

"can."

Without hesitation, Tsuchihashi Yu looked at the other GUTS members with a threatening gaze, "And you guys?"

Kirisaki thought for a moment. Belial's whereabouts were unknown, and he still had to be tied to Ye Cheng, so... "If the captain and the others are transferred, I'd rather be transferred too."

Ishibori, however, had a completely different opinion. What kind of loyalty were these people talking about at a time like this? Had they gone mad?

He's still up to something here and doesn't want to leave.

However, it's a good thing that Kirisaki was exiled, as he no longer needs to carry out assassinations.

Although the old man is annoying, he's actually a good teammate when it comes to ruining the world, to the point that he doesn't even hate him anymore.

"I……"

"You don't have to say it!"

Yu Tsuchihashi immediately cut off Ishibori's words.

"Fine! So you Victory Team are going to rebel? Well then, I'll grant your wish!"

"Effective immediately, Ishibori is to be transferred to the South American branch, Kirisaki to the North American branch, and Helotia to the Northern European branch. The order is to be executed immediately."

You like loyalty? Then I'll break it down for you!

Kirizaki: "..."

Zaki: "..."

What the hell did he do to deserve this?

“I object!” Yoshioka stepped forward.

"If we make all the substitutions, what will happen to the Victory Team?"

"I will immediately form a better new Victory Team, and I already have the candidates. Come out and let the officers recognize them."

As soon as Tsuchihashi Yu finished speaking, several people in the crowd immediately took off their helmets and stood next to him.

Chapter 44 Yuta Tsuchihashi is too weak!

"Tashiro!"

His true identity is that of a metal alien named Kaldor with the ability to mimic, who is also the master of the bio-weapon Neo-Ponton and the demonic beast Gamos. He comes from another universe and was transported here by an unknown wormhole. He infiltrated TPC because he was wary of and had his eye on the Specium Ray technology.

"Iwamoto!"

It is a clone of the Zettonian aliens, who wield the bio-weapon Zetton. It also comes from another universe and was transported here by an unknown wormhole. It infiltrated TPC to learn about the situation in this universe.

"Pedan!"

His true identity is that of a Pedan alien whose life form is similar to that of Earthlings. He possesses the biological weapon King Joe. He is a native alien whose planet was discovered by the first generation of the detection system released at He Zhi's behest. He believed that Earth was a huge threat and came to destroy Earth. However, after discovering that Earth was habitable, he decided to infiltrate and provide intelligence for the invasion of Earth.

"Yamase Asuna..."

"Nakajima Yoko..."

Aside from the three people in front of them who were quick and assertive, Asuna and Yoko were still somewhat embarrassed and guilty at this moment.

They had only heard that there was a chance to become a winning team member, but they didn't know how to do it.

They all looked apologetically at Jugglus and Ye Cheng.

Although she felt that if even Shota Hebikura and Makoto Ye couldn't become members of the winning team, she would rather not be a member herself and wanted to quit.

But the safety of the Earth must be protected, just as Yoko wanted to become a member of the winning team not because of that identity, but because of this responsibility.

Yoko gritted her teeth, her heart filled with a mixture of guilt and responsibility.

Perhaps the captain misjudged her, but she still chose to persevere and tugged at Asuna's encouraging gaze.

After choosing responsibility, when Yoko met Ye Cheng and Hebikura's eyes again, her gaze was unwavering and unyielding.

Hebikura and Ye Cheng, who already knew who the other party was, naturally gave their approval with satisfaction.

Regarding Carmilla's situation, her being transferred to another post is certain. As long as she is safe, they can accept it, and the plan to bring down Tsuchibashi Yuichi's faction will continue.

With Yoko and Asuna around during this time, he could actually feel a little more at ease, knowing that the defense force wouldn't be thrown into chaos.

Their eyes met, and Yoko, feeling affirmed, became even more confident.

"Any more questions, everyone?"

Tsuchihashi Yu's gaze was fixed on Hiiragi Hiroyuki and He Zhi.

"Director Tsuchibashi, you're too weak!"

The person who spoke was Hirai Hiroyuki, the newly appointed director of the Australian branch at the time.

Is Tsuchibashi Yu weak?

Ye Cheng was completely dumbfounded. There was another expert?

"I think simply arming the Victory Team is too weak. You should immediately deploy the same high-tech equipment as the Victory Team around the world, allowing local defense forces to eliminate the monsters immediately! Instead of waiting until the monsters wreak havoc on cities and cause slaughter before slowly sending the Victory Team to the scene, do you know how many innocent civilians and defense force members will die in that process? Not to mention the suspected cooperation with the monsters. Once a monster, always a monster. This kind of species should all be exterminated!!!"

"Do you think I don't want to? Don't you understand that production capacity is limited?"

"Even with limited production capacity, we should at least distribute equipment to each branch and build a team similar to the Victory Team to solve the supernatural disasters in this state. At the same time, we should attack monsters and show our human attitude. I think you are just too selfish and want to keep power in your own hands! You are even willing to raise enemies to enhance your own power."

"Young man, what do you know? What do you understand?"

"Old man, what do you know?! Have you ever considered the personnel losses in our units? Have you ever witnessed the pain and screams of those soldiers before they died? You haven't!"

Hiroyuki Hiiragi glared at Yuu Tsuchihashi with pain and anger.

“You hide behind these people, acting like a fool who doesn’t know what’s good for them, but I’ve seen it! I’ve even seen their families heartbroken yet helplessly supporting their husbands and fathers in protecting the earth.”

"Enough! You're all too weak!"

Director He Zhi, the current North American branch director, directly refuted the two men's radicalism and interrupted their argument and anger.

"In my opinion, it's pointless to waste resources on creating all sorts of fancy equipment. Casualties on the front lines are also hard to avoid. So why not just cancel the Victory Team altogether and instead manufacture weapons capable of destroying planets and upgrade the observation system? We can strike first and, once a threatening enemy is detected, we can directly annihilate the potential enemy's home planet!"

Pedan: "!!!"

As expected, the Earthlings' decision to exterminate them was indeed the right one!

Yoshioka couldn't sit still any longer.

"You're too radical, He Zhi!"

The first two points were at least strategic defenses, and Yoshioka found them somewhat reasonable.

But He Zhi is a bit too extraordinary.

"A threatening enemy? A potential enemy? How do you define it? What are the standards in everyone's mind? If you were really allowed to do this, then the subsequent plan would absolutely spiral out of control! Dragging the Earth into the grave of war."

At this moment, let alone Ye Cheng,

Even Jugglus Juggler and Carmilla, who had some understanding of the ways of the higher-ups, were completely dumbfounded. What kind of anthropomorphic creatures were these?!

Thankfully, they didn't just violently kill Tsuchihashi Yu. If Hiiragi Hiroyuki had been the director, their fusion beasts would have been destroyed too.

As for He Zhi, let alone him, even Ultraman probably wouldn't be able to stay.

Compared to this, the two suddenly felt that Tsuchihashi Yu was actually not bad?

Of course, this idea only appeared in their minds for a moment before they quickly banished this unorthodox and terrifying thought from their minds.

In comparison, Yoshioka seems more like a normal person.

……

With that, the matter of Carmilla's treatment is temporarily concluded.

Like Tang Sanzang and his disciples who had obtained the true scriptures, the members of the Victory Team went their separate ways.

Of course, the plan to bring down Tsuchihashi Yu and even the hawks was still underway, but Ye Cheng and his two companions immediately boarded a flight to North Africa that same day.

"Captain, please take care of me from now on."

Hebikura even had the mood to tease Carmilla, who was qualified to be the captain, while also laughing at Tsuchihashi Yu's naivety. Did he really think that he would feel unbalanced as Carmilla, who was once his subordinate, became his subordinate?

"North Africa is likely to be hot for a while now."

The three arrived at the North Africa branch and had just disembarked from the plane when...

They were greeted by a kind old man in a thin director's uniform, holding a hand fan in one hand and a towel in the other, his forehead covered in sweat, leading a group of people waiting to welcome them under a sunshade.

Director Sawai?

Having seen so many anthropomorphic creatures, Ye Cheng suddenly felt a lump in his throat when he saw this kind old man.

But after seeing Director He Zhi, who looked exactly like a member of the Xincheng team, his perception was refreshed, and he was really unsure whether this person was actually him.

"Hello, Director Sawai, why did you come in person?"

Hebikura recognized the old man at a glance, confirmed his identity, and then introduced Sawai to the two of them.
