Chapter 260 Discussion among Human Leaders
The first seat, which was originally occupied by the dove and hawk leaders in turn, was now firmly occupied by a white-haired old man from the hawk faction. He was looking down and constantly flipping through the report on snow disaster relief at hand.
There was a projector next to it, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses was giving a presentation on the PPT.
"Currently, this global snowstorm has caused road blockages in many parts of the country, and more than 3 million passengers have been stranded in high-speed rail stations, airports and other places."
"Highways, national highways and other major transportation routes have been covered with snow or ice, causing several major chain rear-end collisions, and more than 10,000 private cars are still trapped on the roads."
"A large number of crops have died due to the frost disaster. Wheat is difficult to harvest in half of the provinces. If the snow is not removed quickly, even rice cannot be planted in the second half of the year."
"At the same time, due to the collapse of power grids caused by snow accumulation, power supply outages occurred in various provinces, seriously affecting residents' lives, factories, and even hospitals."
"About 70,000 critically ill patients who needed ventilators died due to power outages in hospitals across the country. According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance, the direct economic losses amounted to more than 150 billion yuan."
As the middle-aged man told the story, pictures of human tragedy after the snowstorm were projected onto the screen.
The huddled crowd at the high-speed railway station, the burning vehicles, the wheat fields crushed by the snow, and the crying family members in the hospital... people are wailing silently.
The room was silent, without a sound. As fellow human beings, how could they not empathize with each other when facing a natural disaster?
And rather than feeling heartbroken, they are more panicked.
Just one big fairy can cause such a horrific disaster to the human world, let alone the army of fairies that we are about to face now.
At this moment, all human leaders, whether in China or other countries, have deeply realized one thing: the empire led by Yue Heng is absolutely capable of fulfilling his promise.
The top brass of the Investigation Bureau had thought about launching a few missiles to directly kill the fairy army stationed above the nuclear power plant, but this proposal was quickly rejected.
They had seen the video shot by the Fuso reporter, so they knew that Mandola had the ability to manipulate the mirror space. Whether it was sealing the missiles or enveloping the entire army, it would be very difficult.
Moreover, according to the information brought by the fairy from the Investigation Bureau, the army brought by the king of the empire this time was not all, and a part of them was still stationed outside the passage, led by Chief Justice Min Yun.
If humans are unable to kill all the imperial fairies inside and outside the passage at the same time, the human world will immediately face a strong counterattack from the empire as soon as the opportunity is found.
In terms of individual strength, humans are no match for fairies.
"Bang!" The document was slammed hard on the table.
An old man in military uniform with a medal on his chest was trembling all over. "This is simply too much! Are we really going to compromise like this?"
"What else?" The white-haired old man used his eyes to stop the old man in military uniform, "Old Liu, you have to give in when you should. You are not as good as others in form and situation. And even if you can't win now, who can say for sure in the future?"
"Besides, it's just about clearing out the big polluting factories. Most of us use clean energy. It's the Western countries that should be worried."
"They talk about environmental protection every day, but in fact they are the companies that pollute the most." When he said this, there was obvious schadenfreude in the eyes of the white-haired old man.
Because of Yue Heng's forced intervention, all polluting enterprises have to switch to clean energy, and China is the country with the best development of clean energy in the world.
If all countries place orders with China, the proceeds will be sufficient to compensate for the losses caused by the snowstorm, and the unemployment caused by the closure of polluting enterprises can also be effectively alleviated.
What's more, the empire's demands are actually reasonable. After all, the natural environment has indeed become worse. If sustainable development is desired, the environment must be repaired.
And this kind of repair of Guanghua country alone is not enough.
It would be a good thing if external pressure could prompt the world to protect the environment together.
After figuring this out, the old man in military uniform was no longer angry, but a trace of worry appeared on his face again, "Mutian Pavilion, right? Oh my, this name is really hard for me to pronounce."
The old man in military uniform was obviously ashamed of this very childish name.
However, he still endured the pain and continued, "Everyone in this organization is a great fairy. They have only been repelled temporarily. What should we do if they come back again?"
"It seems that relying on the national investigation bureaus alone is not enough."
The white-haired old man knocked on the table and said, "Looking for the Empire Alliance."
"Looking for an alliance with the Empire?" Everyone present was surprised for a moment, but soon understood.
To be honest, the human forces alone cannot resist the attack of the Mutian Pavilion, but if the Empire is added, it will be enough, but -
"Although the goal of Mutian Pavilion is to destroy the fairyland and establish a new order in the human world, it will also pose a threat to the empire, but how can we guarantee that they will agree to form an alliance with us?"
"And most importantly, even if we form an alliance, how can we ensure the stability of the alliance relationship?" said a middle-aged lady wearing glasses, who was slightly younger than the other old men.
She is the new deputy secretary of the Treasury and a key member of the hawkish faction.
The white-haired old man who noticed her gaze immediately pulled Wen Zheng, who had been waiting beside him, forward and said, "Child, you go ahead and tell the story."
Wen Zheng nodded and took a step forward. "Leaders, I believe you all know that I have a special charm that can greatly increase the success rate of negotiations."
"I promise you that with the help of interests and charm, it will be no problem to establish an alliance with the Empire. As for how to ensure the stability of the relationship..."
Wen Zheng raised her hand and signaled Chen Jian to distribute the information in the briefcase to the leaders present.
"Our researchers have discovered that humans are capable of cultivation just like fairies, but the human world lacks the necessary materials for cultivation."
"The essential substance for cultivation, from now on we will refer to it as Qi. This kind of Qi exists in both the fairyland and the human world, but as the environment is destroyed, the Qi is becoming less and less."
"Until now, except for fairies who can barely feel it, ordinary humans can no longer feel it."
"So what you mean is that the cultivation of immortals recorded in ancient books may indeed exist?" the lady with glasses said.
"Yes, and according to research, the better the environment, the higher the gas content. Restoring the environment is also a prerequisite for everyone to cultivate immortality."
"For the East, it's cultivation; for the West, it's magic. I think no one can resist the longevity brought by the mysterious power." Wen Zheng had a smile on his face, but he had a firm grasp of the psychology of everyone present.
The higher you climb, the more afraid you are of death. If restoring the environment alone could give you a chance to live longer, even in the capitalist West, people would unite to resist polluting oligarchs.
And isn’t the goal of the empire to eliminate the harm that humans have caused to nature?
In fact, to be honest, the stability of the alliance relationship mainly depends on the human side. As long as the environment is not further destroyed, the empire will never take the initiative to initiate a war given how much it values its people.
Now that we have this investigation report, the next UN General Assembly will surely find it easy to reach a consensus.
The white-haired old man looked at Wen Zheng who was talking eloquently with satisfaction, "Good child, after the conference is over, you can go with the representatives of various countries as the director of the Investigation Bureau."
"Thank you, Chief, but there is one more thing." Wen Zheng lowered her head. "The public already knows about the fairyland. What about the Investigation Bureau..."
