Odmar is not stupid, he is not Odebiao.
On the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise he would not be sitting in this position.
His performance in the office just now was just his usual philosophy of doing things.
To put it bluntly, the World Health Organization is just an organization, not a village. What this organization can do is actually quite limited. At least that's what Odmar thought when he took office.
The organization needs money to run, and this money comes from donations from various villages.
Therefore, under this premise, it is difficult for an organization to do its job, as it is lenient towards others.
But Odmar is an ambitious man who is willing to sacrifice his personal dignity for his career. He believes that no matter how controlled the organization is, it can still do its job.
For example, in this virus outbreak, Odmar’s appeal is to use the organization to treat more people. It would be even better if a solution to the virus could be developed.
"But...it seems that this is the only way to get more supplies from the University of Tokyo..." Odmar decided to compromise.
The next day, the Global Village Conference.
An announcement was made before this meeting, and the Secretary-General of the conference sent letters to all villages, requiring all representatives to attend and informing them of the topic to discuss how to solve the virus problem.
So the conference room is a large conference room, and it was packed with people.
It stands to reason that holding such intensive gatherings under such circumstances is problematic in itself, but no one cares, considering their position, right?
Representatives entered the venue one after another. They were different from before. In the past, they all wore neat suits and entered the venue accompanied by assistants. But today was different. Very few people brought assistants, and suits were not standard.
Some of them wore masks, and some even wore isolation suits, which was quite exaggerated.
The time was almost up. The Secretary-General looked at the seats of Eagle Sauce and Big Bear, but they were not there. He then looked at the seat of the University of Tokyo, but they were still not there.
Not only these three families did not come, but many others did not come. In total, there were at least a dozen or twenty villages that were absent.
At the last moment, Pelleti and Ryan walked into the venue together, seemingly announcing their alliance for the day.
When they walked into the venue, they first looked at the seat of Tokyo University, and then they were stunned. Why wasn't he there?
"Mr. Secretary General, may I ask why Mr. Sun, the representative from the University of East China, is not here?" Pelleti asked.
After Mr. Li retired, someone younger than him took over. The current representative is named Sun and is in his forties.
Representative Sun has no other characteristics except that he is tough. When Yingjiang and Daxiong were meeting privately, he also held a meeting with Zeng Wangcai's younger brothers, and that was how today's meeting ended.
"The time has not come yet. They are used to coming later now. Let's wait a little longer!" The Secretary-General's answer was helpless and he was also tired.
"It's good that Representative Sun didn't inform you that you wouldn't come." Pelleti breathed a sigh of relief.
The stage is set up, why don’t the actors come?
Pelleti and Ryan did not go to their seats. Seeing that the time was almost up, they waited at the Secretary-General's place. If they did not sit down, it would be difficult for Odmar, who was temporarily invited to perform, to go as well.
All the representatives were looking at the three of them. Now, regardless of whether they had noticed anything unusual or not, everyone knew that something was wrong today.
The time was almost up and still no one had come. Pelleti was about to ask again when the Secretary-General's cell phone rang.
"What time is it? Why are you still answering the phone? Hang up!" Pelleti, who was furious, saw the Secretary-General was about to answer the phone and rushed over to shout.
"Are you going to hang up Representative Sun's call?" The Secretary-General hung up the phone speechlessly.
"Why call if the person isn't coming..." Pelleti had already realized that today was not going to go well, and he motioned to the Secretary-General to answer the phone.
When the call was connected, the Secretary-General kept humming in a low voice, without conveying the content of the call to Pelleti.
He is the secretary general and he has to maintain his reputation. How could he feel good when being scolded by Pelleti?
After hanging up the phone, the Secretary-General notified the technicians to operate the big screen in the conference room. After a while, the signal was connected to the big screen. Immediately, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties appeared on the big screen in the conference room. He could be seen from all directions in the circular conference room.
Soon the screen flashed, and Zeng Wangcai appeared on the split screen created by Representative Sun with an electronic screen in the background.
"Representative Sun!"
"Is this Zeng Wangcai?"
"It's him, it's really him!"
"Why is he at the meeting..."
Almost no one in the conference room didn't know Zeng Wangcai. Among the common people, many people might not know him, but he was definitely the most dazzling presence among the top leaders.
"What do you mean?" Seeing Zeng Wangcai, Pelleti's face darkened and he glared at the Secretary-General.
"Mr. Pelleti, you'd better take your seat!" the Secretary-General said calmly. "Representative Sun believes that it is irrational to hold a face-to-face meeting at this tense moment. Now that we all have Internet access, we can hold an online meeting, which is much safer."
“That makes sense!”
"I was still worried about the virus when I went out, but now there are many people infected outside."
"I wouldn't have come if I had known..."
Listening to the representatives' buzzing, Pelleti felt like he had been slapped in the face and he forgot about it.
He failed to accomplish his mission and almost died.
Okay, let’s see who has the last laugh today!
Pelleti returned to his seat, put on his headphones, and after thinking for a while, he put on another mask.
He is afraid too!
"Okay, this impromptu meeting has only one agenda item, which is to fight the virus together. Before the meeting, I proposed that if there are any more meetings in the future, we should hold them online. If you have no objection, we will document it later." The Secretary-General's voice appeared in everyone's headphones.
Obviously, no one would object to his proposal, not even Pelleti.
After his opening remarks, the Secretary-General went on to say: “The sudden outbreak of the virus is very scary and it spreads very quickly. There are few areas in the world that are not infected. The virus has become the common enemy of mankind. So I call on us to put aside our past grudges, put aside all our conflicts, and fight the virus together…”
The proposal after the opening remarks again requires a statement of opinion.
Pelleti was the first to vote in favor, and then said into the microphone: "We need unity. I agree to fight the virus together. I would like to state here that all our research results on the virus will be shared with the world."
This statement received almost unanimous applause, and the vast majority of representatives expressed their support for the United States' righteousness.
Afterwards, Representative Sun and Zeng Wangcai, who was far away on Wangye Island, watched coldly.
In their view, the Eagle Sauce is just trying to get something for nothing. What research results have they achieved?
Has the virus been discovered?
They don’t even have enough ventilator production capacity for themselves, so will they give it to others?
And there are medicines!
If the Americans really develop useful drugs, it is true that they will share them, but it will definitely not be for free.
"Representative Sun, you have been silent. Are you against fighting the virus together?" After gaining support, Pelleti pointed his finger directly at the target.
