But this is a taboo for the five major countries.
By then, I'm afraid that the five countries of China, America, England, France, and Russia will jointly blame the island country, or even... send more troops?
The island nation already has America as its father, so why does it need four more fathers?
The corner of Fujiwara Daichi's mouth twitched and he turned to look at Fukuda Akira.
At this time, Fukuda Akira, the Vice Minister of Affairs, was not surprised at all by the total number of ghouls, and seemed to have known the relevant numbers for a long time.
He looked through the documents in his hand carefully and said:
"Director Tachibana, I noticed that the files you gave me listed the major organizations within the ghoul community. So, can I assume that your department has planted spies within the ghoul community, or that your department has the means to lock down the whereabouts of most ghouls?"
Hearing Fukuda Akira's words that almost tacitly acknowledged the premise of 'eliminating ghouls'.
Ju Wuxiang looked at Luo Shu again.
'So why do you keep looking at me?'
Luo Shu was speechless, but still took over the "dialogue right" and explained directly to Fukuda Akira:
"I cannot elaborate on the specific monitoring methods. I can only say that my department has planted spies among the ghouls, and can determine the exact whereabouts of most of them."
In fact, the whereabouts of all ghouls have been determined by Luo Shu.
After all, with this convenient tool like the Encyclopedia of Mysticism, how could Luo Shu not make use of it?
Although 2 people is a bit troublesome, as long as you don't mind the exposure of the tool called the Encyclopedia of Mysticism, and add Kisara, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, and Miss Mira, the workload that each of the five people is responsible for is only 4 people.
Apart from wasting several keyboards to input data into the computer and the consumption of manpower support, the actual time spent was only a little over three hours.
So how did Miss Mira manage to have the energy to play alchemy after searching for 3 hours straight? Is she superhuman?
Just as Luo Shu was secretly complaining in his heart, Fukuda Akira beside him breathed a sigh of relief:
"Does that mean the most troublesome work has been completed by your department?"
"He's a really trustworthy teammate."
After Fukuda Akira said this, both Nurarihyon and Takayanagi Michikan looked a little strange.
Ichijo Ma Yuan looked at Luo Shu deeply, as if he wanted to remember his face.
Iwanaga Kotoko, who considered herself to be a nobody, even murmured:
"Lock down 20,000 people in a few days. Abyss props, or abilities?"
"As expected, no one who can become the Minister of SDS is an easy person to deal with."
Although she spoke in a low voice, it was the thought of everyone present.
At this time, everyone in the venue "knew" Luo Shu and knew that this director of the secret operations department had unique skills in the intelligence station.
Although it is unclear why this person is not in charge of the intelligence department of SDS, this does not prevent them from having a high opinion of Luo Shu.
"In other words, the whereabouts of the 20,000 ghouls have been identified?" Director Ito muttered to himself after hearing this: "Then things will be much simpler."
In short, the ghouls before were like 2 pigs running into the forest. Although they were not impossible to deal with, they were extremely troublesome and the casualties were uncertain.
And now, with the intelligence support of SDS, ghouls have become 20,000 fixed targets in the forest.
Of the two, the latter is definitely easier and results in the least loss.
At this time, Gao Liu Daoxian, who was silently flipping through the documents, also said:
"Minister Luo, in the information, the weapons recommended for fighting ghouls, are they your suggestions?"
“That’s my suggestion.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu looked at Gao Liu Daoxian in surprise. He did not expect that the commander-in-chief of the warriors would care about this.
Gao Liu Daoxian also looked solemn at this time, and he directly read out the information above.
"A-rank ghouls and below have certain regenerative and defensive abilities. It is recommended to use full-power rifle bullets."
"Some ghouls from S-rank to SSS-rank have the defense of a light tank expert and the ability to regenerate in seconds. Full-power rifle bullets can penetrate their armor, but they cannot keep up with the ghouls' recovery ability and cause direct damage. They need to be restricted by Curse Bullets first."
"Is this information accurate?"
"precise."
As Luo Shu spoke, he cast a look at Shim, who understood and immediately stood up and operated the projection screen in the conference room.
While the video was playing, Luo Shu was also explaining:
"This is a video of my battle with an SSS-rank ghoul recorded by the Ministry of the Environment's Countermeasures Office."
After hearing what the Ministry of Environment's Countermeasures Office had recorded in the video, Fujiwara Daichi and Fukuda Akira looked a little strange.
Given the personalities of those people in the Ministry of Environment, it would be more like candid photography than recording.
However, SDS is really powerful as it can even get the videos secretly filmed by the Ministry of the Environment.
"In this battle, I used intermediate-power bullets, armor-piercing bullets, and cursed bullets. All three are 9mm bullets. The damage they caused is detailed on the projection screen."
Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Daichi looked at the screen seriously. After looking at it carefully for a while, he whispered to Fukuda Akira:
“What’s the message in the video?”
The corner of Futian Akira's mouth twitched, and then he said speechlessly:
"Intermediate-power bullets are ineffective against SSS-level ghouls, which means that police equipment is normally ineffective against ghouls. Their recovery and defense are more than enough to handle such attacks."
"The 9mm armor-piercing bullet can penetrate the defense, but the damage is already a bit excessive, and the special armor-piercing bullet is expensive. It is better to replace it with a full-power rifle bullet."
"Besides that, the regeneration ability of SSS-class ghouls is too strong. Although full-power rifle bullets can cause damage, they cannot keep up with the opponent's recovery ability. Cursed spirit bullets seem to be more targeted against ghouls."
"However, due to the cost, the Curse Spirit Bullet is most likely targeted at S-class powerful ghouls."
At this point, Fukuda Akira lowered his voice and gritted his teeth to remind:
"Minister, I really suggest that you should learn more about the mysterious side. Please don't show your ignorance in front of outsiders."
"That's too difficult. Every time I read those thick books, I fall asleep. It's like hypnosis."
Fujiwara Daichi smiled awkwardly, but when he saw Fukuda Akira's dark face, he dared not say anything.
"The ghoul's soul resistance ability seems to be a bit weird, huh?" Nurarihyon touched his chin, vaguely moved.
What is the difference between the fear of an insolvent ghoul and that of a human?
Gao Liu Daoxian frowned when he saw this, and said hesitantly: "Although there are many warriors who are good at using spirit to attack the soul, they are still a minority. In other words, can we only send out the gun team?"
Although he is a warrior who advocates individual strength, Takayanagi Michigen is not someone who rejects technology.
He even had a high level of attainment in 'American Iai', or the art of drawing a gun.
Thinking of this, Gao Liu Daoxian turned his head and said calmly:
"Using the master warriors of the warriors as the spearhead, equipped with cursed bullets, and three ordinary soldiers using full-power rifle bullets, directly beheading those above S-rank, this operation is very feasible."
"As for ghouls below S-rank, if Minister Luo's information is correct, then a three-man squad with full-power rifle fire and grenades will be enough to deal with them. Of course, just in case, we should add a disciple-level warrior to the three-man squad to carry cursed spirit bullets as a safety measure."
Director Ito raised his eyebrows when he heard this. As a practitioner of Aikido, he could be considered a warrior. Although he had not reached the human level, he was still a good fighter among the masters.
Therefore, he believed in the judgment of the senior master Gao Liu Daoxian. After all, he understood what the disciple-level warriors and master-level warriors could do:
"Can you target and decapitate 20,000 S-rank ghouls?"
"Are there enough members of the Warriors for all the teams?"
"Targeted beheading requires detailed intelligence support and the cooperation of other departments and even other races."
"According to my understanding, we have a sufficient number of manpower."
Takayanagi Michigen did not become arrogant. Although he was very unhappy with Nurarihyon, as an opponent, he knew the monster's strength very well.
Although the small monsters are a little weaker, apart from the small monsters, the medium monsters and even the big monsters all have their own special skills.
With their abilities, along with three soldiers and plenty of bullets, they can definitely kill an S-rank ghoul with minimal injuries, or even no injuries at all.
Moreover, for 2 ghouls, according to the configuration of 3 soldiers + 1 warrior, this configuration is definitely enough to eliminate 2 ghouls, but there are enough soldiers, but definitely not enough warriors.
But with the addition of the monsters, the Onmyoji Bureau, and the vampires, it's almost enough.
At least 3+1,3 soldiers and 1 mysterious personnel can be squeezed out.
As for SDS, it plays a more intelligence and brainpower role.
Although the various forces present had mixed feelings about SDS, it had to be admitted that their capabilities as a logistical support were extremely convincing.
"So, the cooperation of all the major forces present is needed, including the Metropolitan Police Department, monsters, vampires, Onmyoji, the Self-Defense Forces, and even the SDS. Only when multiple forces join forces can we solve the big problem of ghouls?"
"Then I understand."
After understanding the situation, Director Ito stopped talking and turned his gaze to Fukuda Akira, the Deputy Minister of Affairs.
Sensing Director Ito's gaze, Fukuda Akira immediately realized that the Metropolitan Police Department could not bear the pressure from the ghouls, so they threw the pressure over to him.
24 murders every year are enough for all the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department to commit disembowelment in order to apologize to the public.
Of course, so does the Prime Minister.
The pressure is there, and once they have proposed a plan, the matter is now in the hands of the person who makes the final decision.
The people who can make the final decision are the two SDS ministers and him, the Deputy Minister of Affairs.
Of course, if the two above took a strong stance, he, the Deputy Minister of Affairs, would have to cooperate, but the problem now was the pressure from the Prime Minister's cabinet.
Of course, although the Prime Minister is under pressure, the previous plan, which was to let SDS be responsible for part of the funds or even all of the funds, is obviously impossible to implement.
Ghouls are too dangerous. The current situation is not that they are threatening SDS, but that SDS is controlling them.
While Fukuda Akira was thinking about countermeasures, Fujiwara Daichi suddenly interrupted and said:
"According to Mr. Takayanagi, if we gather everyone's strength, we can wipe out the ghouls in a short period of time. I believe in everyone's ability on this point."
"But what about funding?"
Fujiwara Daichi bluntly stated the key point:
"Whether it's the transfer of soldiers, compensation for casualties, the consumption of weapons and equipment, or even the expenses of blocking information, all of these cost money."
"So who will pay for this and how will it be paid?"
Fujiwara Daichi spoke bluntly while looking at Tachibana Kirika and Luo Shu.
Because in his eyes, the only three people present who could decide this were them.
At that time, Fukuda Akira was stunned when he found out that Fujiwara Daichi was the first to "attack".
He suddenly remembered that there was a long-standing saying in the cabinet.
That is, the people of the Fujiwara family will always trick you at the critical moment, making you cry without tears, but they can always make a big deal out of a small matter at the critical moment, making you love and hate them.
Now, he could only count on the "characteristics" of the Fujiwara family to make things less serious.
Otherwise, if the two SDS ministers were forced to leave, the battle against ghouls would most likely skyrocket from easy difficulty to hellish difficulty.
If that were to happen, the minister would need to resign and he would most likely have to look for a new job.
I'm already sixty years old, do I need to find a job again?
Just when Fukuda Akira was a little upset, Luo Shu and Tachibana Kirika looked at each other, and then the two sides reached a tacit understanding.
Chapter 73 Luo Shu's Fantastic Operation
"Regarding the funding issue, we do have some suggestions."
It was Luo Shu who spoke. Although he highly suspected that Ju Wuxiang gave up the right to speak in order to establish his prestige in front of these senior executives, Luo Shu naturally would not refuse such a thing that had no harm.
"According to my understanding, for the operation of annihilating dangerous races, the United Nations will provide a certain amount of financial compensation. Generally speaking, how much will this part of the financial compensation be?"
When Luo Shu said this, his eyes were always looking at Fujiwara Daichi.
Fujiwara Daichi didn't understand this, so he scratched his head and looked at Fukuda Akira.
Fukuda Akira resisted the urge to roll his eyes, turned his eyes, and gave an answer:
"Nominally, 50% will be reimbursed, but according to convention, it is most likely only 30%-35%."
Luo Shu asked after hearing this: "So the actual funding gap is 70%?"
"It's 70% of the unknowns." Fukuda Akira emphasized, "Because we don't know how much this war of annihilation will cost, we can only make a post-event estimate after the meeting and after we've had our fill of the cost."
"Then there should be no problem for SDS to calculate the intelligence costs based on the intelligence currently on hand and include them in the total expenditure, right?"
