Lina whispered, "How could things have come to this? That's sophistry!"
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!"
Those in power know that the economic contraction in various countries and the suffering of the people are entirely due to economic conspiracies. They use money exploited from the people to fill the gaps in scientific and technological research and development, but national defense and people's livelihood are never the same thing.
These days, they're just having a meal and then trying to trick others into paying the bill.
"In the past, countless invitations were sent to Lanjing, China, and countless people traveled thousands of miles to seek an audience, sincerely inviting Jiang Cheng, a leading Chinese scientific researcher, to serve other countries. For this, you offered exorbitant sums, even falsely claiming that science has no borders and would benefit all mankind. How hypocritical! Now that you think about it, Jiang Cheng was born in China, hah." You Lixuan sneered twice, his words dripping with sarcasm.
Lina looked at him.
All the representatives looked at him.
Neither of them spoke, but the same thought arose in everyone's mind: "Sir, times have changed."
This unreasonable request was naturally something that the Chinese side could not possibly agree to.
When the contents of the document are translated.
In dozens of cities across China, those who were closely following the meeting's proceedings clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and turned ashen-faced.
They were deeply worried for the delegates at the global conference.
He kept repeating to himself: I absolutely must not agree.
In the flower shop, Zhao Xuerou, who had been gentle for a long time, was now very angry and cursing: "It's so unfair! What is this garbage? They keep slandering Jiangcheng, it makes me so angry! This treaty is even more unbearable to look at, it's disgusting!"
"Don't be angry... although I can't stand it either."
While comforting her, Ke Bing rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache just like her.
Right now.
Across the country, the outcry was deafening.
The people's anger soared to the heavens!
In this era, we are so powerful that we have become emperors in just a few years, attracting the attention of countless great powers and forcing them to take us seriously.
The humiliation is long gone, but no one has ever forgotten the scars on their body.
Now, reopening those wounds will inevitably lead to a bloodbath.
At this very moment, at the Pacific Global Conference.
You Lixuan's voice resounded throughout the bright hall, his resolute attitude inspiring cheers from all corners of China! His words clearly reached the ears of every patriotic son.
"On behalf of China, I strongly oppose and condemn all the representatives who signed this petition—yes, every single one of you. Controlled nuclear fusion and other technologies are epoch-making treasures, closely related to the future of our great nation and inseparable from the continued development of our people. Anyone who tries to seize them is an enemy… and we will fight them to the death, without ever giving up!"
"..."
"!!!!"
"presumptuous!"
"Representative of China! What are you saying?!"
Be careful what you say and do!
These words were spoken.
The thousands of delegates in the reception room went crazy; no one could believe what they were hearing.
That's incredibly arrogant!
How dare the representative of China say such a thing! We condemn all the representatives who signed this petition! We consider anyone who interferes an enemy!
Declare war?!
Is this a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble, or utterly insane?
For decades, people have been accustomed to being hypocritical and deceitful, and have never spoken so openly or with such a strong attitude.
"Representative of China! Please watch your words!"
“I know exactly what I’m saying. Do I need to repeat myself? I reject all the conditions of this joint document.”
"Do you want to be the ones who block humanity's progress for the entire century?"
"No, the guidelines set by scientific leaders two years ago are agreed upon worldwide. We are simply adhering to these guidelines at all costs."
"But the research leader you mentioned has vanished without a trace! Are you still blindly following the crowd?"
The entire reception room was filled with noise, with people shouting and whispering everywhere.
The last point in the joint document is even more shocking.
"Now, we request that the GMRDC organization revoke its independence and be controlled by various countries. Pilot No. 001, Luo Li, shall renounce her Chinese citizenship and voluntarily become a peace guardian in order to protect the safety of people of all countries."
Luo Li's gaze fell on this one.
She looked up again, her face full of complex emotions.
If, of course, some price must be paid.
So……
"Quiet! Quiet!"
His Excellency Hillary's loud voice silenced all other voices in the discussion.
As the person in charge of the alliance of major powers, his authority did have some effect.
"Please speak on the treaty, Luo Li. The main purpose of our meeting is to discuss and resolve the issue. If the conditions are not satisfactory, we can compromise until a balance is achieved."
"I……"
Luo Li parted her lips slightly.
"If the independence of the GMDRC is not revoked, I am willing..."
"I object!!"
A loud shout interrupted her speech.
This voice, as if coming from a very, very distant place, has undergone countless changes, reincarnated at the end of this century, and finally reached the other shore, clearly entering everyone's ears. It is incongruous, it is clear, it carries countless weights, it is the voice of the times that must appear.
It is what I long for day and night.
It is an immutable law of history.
Whenever a day of great upheaval arrives, the sky loses its former color, dark clouds gather and obscure the heavens, and voices of opposition arise, ending an old era and beginning a new one.
