Chapter 259: Contract Signing

As the applause from the crowd died down, Michael stepped down from the platform. The success of the demonstration had clearly impressed the gathered officials and dignitaries. Michael could see a few key figures making their way towards him, ready to discuss the potential of RADS' groundbreaking missile systems.

Senator Isabel Santos was the first to approach, her expression one of genuine admiration.

"Mr. Reyes, that was truly impressive. Your technology is exactly what our military needs to modernize and strengthen our defenses."

"Thank you, Senator," Michael replied, shaking her hand. "I'm glad you could see the potential firsthand."

General Remington Jairo Jocson Lontoc, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, joined them.

"Mr. Reyes, I must say, your demonstration exceeded all my expectations. The Guardian Falcon and Triton Spear are game-changers. We need these systems integrated into our defense strategy as soon as possible."

"I appreciate your support, General. I'm ready to work with the Armed Forces to ensure these systems are deployed effectively," Michael responded.

Secretary Ramon De La Cruz from the Department of National Defense approached next. "Mr. Reyes, you have my backing. Let's discuss the logistics and procurement process. We need to expedite this to stay ahead of any potential threats."

Michael nodded. "Absolutely, Mr. Secretary. My team and I are prepared to collaborate closely with your department to streamline the process."

Director Elena Villanueva of the Philippine Defense Procurement Agency joined the group, a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Mr. Reyes, I've already received inquiries from several departments regarding procurement details. Your presentation was a resounding success."

"Thank you, Director. I'm glad to hear that. We're ready to provide all necessary documentation and support to facilitate a smooth procurement process," Michael said.

Admiral Jose Navarro, Commander of the Philippine Navy, stepped forward. "Michael, the Triton Spear's performance against those patrol vessels was remarkable. Of course, it's just a patrol ship. Can it sink a warship?"

Michael nodded confidently. "Yes, Admiral, the Triton Spear is designed to penetrate the hull of heavily armored warships. The hypersonic speed, combined with its enhanced kinetic impact and high-explosive warhead, ensures it can deliver devastating damage to even the most advanced naval vessels."

Michael quickly scanned the document. "This looks comprehensive. I'll have my team review it immediately."

Michael signaled Juliet to join them, and she stepped forward, taking the document from him to review more closely.

A minute later, Juliet gave her approval. "This is all good."

"Excellent," Michael said. "We're ready to move forward with this. Let's get the contract signing done so we can begin the deployment as soon as possible."

The President nodded and motioned for everyone to take their seats at the large conference table. Aides quickly arranged the necessary documents and brought out the official pens.

"Mr. Reyes, this agreement marks a significant step forward in our national defense capabilities," the President said, as he picked up his pen. "We appreciate your commitment to this country."

"Thank you, Mr. President. It's an honor to contribute to our national security," Michael replied, taking a seat beside the President.

With a few swift signatures, the agreement was finalized. Michael and the President both signed multiple copies of the contract, ensuring that all parties had the necessary documentation. As the last pen stroke was made, the room erupted in applause.

"Congratulations, Mr. Reyes," the President said, standing up and shaking Michael's hand firmly. "I look forward to seeing the positive impact of your systems on our military."

"Thank you, Mr. President. We won't let you down," Michael replied confidently.

The President's aide stepped forward, ready to capture the moment for posterity. "Gentlemen, if you could both stand together for a photo."

Michael and the President stood side by side, holding the signed agreement, as photographers captured the moment from various angles.

After the photos, Michael received a notification from the technological system.
