One-vote veto
Chapter 2901 Veto
United States, General Assembly of the Five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council.
An article was slammed onto the table by the alliance representative, who angrily questioned the Japanese sitting in a chair beside him, "You must give us an answer!"
"A satisfactory answer!"
After speaking, he turned to the representatives of other countries present, especially looking at the four representatives at the very front.
"We went to rescue them out of humanitarian considerations."
"We risked our lives to rescue the people inside!"
"But what now?"
"The people we're helping are nothing but animals, worse than animals!"
The fact that the alliance representative used profanity in this formal setting shows how angry he was.
They were already reluctant to go on this damn rescue mission, but to their surprise, none of the people they sent back came back.
This is a complete slap in the face to their alliance!
Their alliance is no longer going to get involved in this mess.
Love can kill as many people as it wants!
The Japanese representative standing to the side was sweating profusely, and the stares from those around him made him even more uneasy. In his heart, he was cursing those unreliable bastards back home!
He played the victim here, crying and pleading, and managed to get some aid from the country.
They devoted themselves to fighting for the interests of the people of the Yellow River region.
They might even use this incident to gain sympathy in order to complete the domestic delivery task.
Everything was going well, but now…
Now that this scandal has been exposed, how is he supposed to explain himself?
How can he continue his mission?
After the alliance representative finished venting, the Japanese representative quickly took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed deeply to the alliance representative.
"Your Excellency, we are deeply sorry for the misfortune that occurred in Kosaka Castle!"
"We are willing to offer our sincere compensation to the Chinese personnel who unfortunately lost their lives."
"I'm so sorry!"
He then bowed again.
The Alliance representative snorted coldly, then the Japanese representative looked at the United States representative and bowed, saying, "We will also provide satisfactory compensation to the peace-loving people of your country who have sacrificed their lives!"
The representative from the United States was a woman, but she spoke bluntly to the representative from Japan. However, remembering her superiors' instructions, she could only say indifferently, "We will handle this matter properly!"
The Japanese representative immediately showed a grateful expression, then looked at the five people in front of him again with a compassionate look.
"Dear peace-loving friends, I offer my deepest apologies for the devastation that occurred at Kosaka Castle..."
The representative from Japan bowed repeatedly to his surroundings, as if his waist were spring-loaded.
Those around him were speechless.
After a moment, he continued, "But we can also see from another angle just how terrifying the aftermath of this event will be!"
"Today, there are still more than two million people in Kosaka Castle, including some foreign friends."
"Because of this accident, we are forced to face the harsh reality and the challenge to humanity!"
"We deeply sympathize with this..."
"Whenever I think of the women who have lost their homes, the children who have lost their parents, and the elderly struggling on the brink of death, my heart aches..."
"I believe everyone here has a kind and loving heart, and can understand the feelings of being a parent and a child!"
The Japanese representative, with tears in his eyes, spoke earnestly.
Of course, the words translated by various countries lost much of their emotion, becoming dry and lifeless, leaving the attendees merely observing with indifference.
Some people even smiled, whether it was because the translator misspoke or because they didn't understand the meaning of the words.
"Therefore, we hereby propose a resolution to abolish this demonic weapon!"
"Only in this way can the world be at peace and become a better place."
The Japanese representative bowed again.
This time, all the attendees understood what the other party meant.
Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on the five people in front.
Then everyone was shocked. This little guy was small in stature, but what he said was astonishing.
Abolish nuclear power!
These words express the sentiments of everyone.
Immediately, the scene fell silent.
Their gazes darted around, and their expressions reflected their attitudes.
After a long while, the alliance representative who was chairing the meeting stood up with a gloomy expression and took the draft handed to him by his secretary.
Without even glancing at it, he tossed it onto the table, setting it aside alongside previous news reports.
He then ignored everyone else and looked at the other four people present, his expression calm.
"The draft proposal submitted by the representative from Japan complies with the application process of the General Assembly."
"Now, as the meeting chair, I accept this draft."
As the alliance representative finished speaking, everyone in the room stared wide-eyed.
Accepted?
So, can we vote now?
Some people had shifty eyes, while others looked on with amusement.
But some people know in their hearts that this is just wishful thinking on the part of the Japanese.
Then the alliance representative spoke up, "Then, everyone, let's vote."
Everyone was stunned again. This is how it begins?
Is the discussion over?
At the very least, I should express my opinion.
Perhaps we should let the representatives from Japan make another contribution.
But now, the process is a little different.
Just as everyone pricked up their ears and widened their eyes, the Alliance representative looked directly at the British representative beside him and said, "Please make a choice."
The British representative was a bald, middle-aged man who had remained silent in his seat since attending the meeting.
There's nothing they can do; this time, they're in deep trouble, like mud falling into their pants.
Even if I try to explain it to others, I can't get it right.
It was originally intended for China, but it was intercepted by Japan, and then this happened.
So who exactly are you trying to 'murder'?
But the thing is, they knew absolutely nothing about this.
The only thing we know is that the people of the United States made arrangements and gave us the Japanese islands.
That's why the people of the United States also went silent.
The two brothers were really in the wrong.
The worse off Kosaka Castle was, the less confident they became in their speech.
All eyes were on the British representative, and then the middle-aged man slowly spoke, "On behalf of Britain, I choose to abstain."
Wow~~
In an instant, there was an uproar at the scene.
It's important to understand that if even one of these five people vetoes the draft, it will be scrapped.
But who would have thought that the British would abstain?
Abstaining means not opposing.
What are these Britons up to?
The alliance and the French representative standing to the side both looked at each other with suspicion.
Upon seeing this, the British representative gave a wry smile, then leaned back in his chair, thinking, "Whatever."
"So, next one."
The alliance representative continued to chair the meeting, but in his heart he looked down on the British, thinking that each generation was worse than the last, no wonder they were going downhill.
"Cough cough!"
The female representative from the United States coughed lightly, seemingly wanting to express her opinion, but the representative from the Alliance of Moderators spoke up directly, "Please state your position."
The female representative glanced at the Union representative, then took a deep breath. "On behalf of the United States, I abstain."
Wow~~~
Another shout rang out.
Then all eyes turned to the third one, the French representative.
Before the alliance representative could speak, the French representative, who was always eager for drama, raised his hand and said, "On behalf of France, I abstain."
Instantly, the hall fell silent.
Then everyone turned their attention to the fourth person.
Representative of China.
The Chinese representative, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, stood up calmly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before settling on the Japanese representative. After a moment of staring, the Japanese representative suddenly broke into an awkward smile.
Before he could wipe the smile off his face, he heard a familiar voice.
"be opposed to!"
He then slowly sat down, his expression natural.
The room remained silent.
The Japanese representative couldn't utter the words stuck in his throat, especially given the cold expression on the other party's face and the resolute attitude in their speech.
He knew that after today, the people speaking here had changed.
All eyes were on that slightly thin figure.
In the past, people in that position never had their own opinions.
They would only follow the United States; if the other side disagreed, they dared not agree, and they wouldn't even dare to abstain.
The United States only needs a glance to make them do as the other party wishes.
He was nothing more than a puppet.
But now.
As everyone looked at the simply dressed middle-aged man, they heard a different voice for the first time here.
Perhaps, this person could also choose to abstain, choose to comply, and choose to act as a peacemaker from the perspective of so-called 'humanistic concern'.
Because in the end, the alliance representative would cover for them, so the outcome was inevitable.
But this person still stood up and voiced their opinion.
He made a different voice from everyone else.
pop
Papapa
Suddenly, someone started clapping.
Then, more people applauded.
Their applause was not for the rejected draft.
Because many people are hoping for the draft to be passed.
After all, if you don't have that thing yourself, you certainly don't want others to have it too.
But everyone knew in their hearts that it was impossible.
It can only be described as wishful thinking on the part of the Japanese islands.
Therefore, the applause was mostly for the voice that stood up and said 'oppose'.
This signifies that a new world order is beginning.
Four Nine Cities.
When the snow covers the land of Kosaka, it has already become a world of silver and white.
While the Kosaka Castle incident was making headlines, there was not a sound from here.
Even if there are reports, the people here will only sneer when they see them.
Some people even set off firecrackers at the door, which surprised the people around them.
It's not a holiday, why set off firecrackers?
Nine parts.
Yang Xiaotao was following behind Old Chen, and a group of people were accompanying the guests who had come from afar to check on the progress of the satellite in the workshop.
"Your Highness, this is the satellite provided to your country."
Yang Xiaotao pointed to the satellite in the distance.
Faisal, who was following behind the prince, quickly began to translate.
After listening to the other person's translation, Yang Xiaotao nodded silently.
Since starting trade with desert camels, Yang Xiaotao has begun learning Arabic, though only in his spare time. After this period of time, he is only half-fluent.
It's about the same level as learning German.
I can still understand the general meaning of what the other person is saying.
His Highness, wearing a white cloth over his head, looked at the large sphere in front of him with excitement on his face, and then said to Old Chen, "Is this what was prepared for us?"
Old Chen nodded, "Yes, it was prepared for your side."
Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao, meaning it was his turn to go on stage.
Yang Xiaotao smiled, then walked up to the satellite, nodded to Faisal first, and then began to introduce it, "This is a satellite that integrates satellite communication, remote sensing, scientific exploration, and related technology experiments."
"We used the latest research in solar energy technology and battery technology on this satellite."
Behind the crowd, Professor Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences led Chen Fang and others in whispering among themselves.
"Didn't you say it wasn't finished yet?"
Why are we being forced into this now?
Chen Fang asked in a low voice, and Wang Can, who was in charge of satellite research in the Ninth Department, said with a wry smile, "There's nothing we can do, they're pressuring us too much!"
"The initial plan was to seize it in May or June, but it's been delayed until now. I guess they couldn't wait any longer."
"I heard they even came to us ahead of time this time, and apparently they brought money with them."
After Wang Can finished speaking, he looked at the satellite in front of him with some concern.
The final adjustments weren't finished yet, and he was terrified that Yang Xiaotao might be greedy and agree to launch immediately, which would be disastrous.
Old Song grimaced upon hearing this, feeling bitter inside. This guy was sending money to the Ninth Department.
The key is that they deliver so frequently.
Why doesn't anyone send money to the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
"Hey, what about your own?"
"I heard you've finished making them too? And you're just waiting to launch?"
Hu Xuping asked questions from the side, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Upon seeing this, Wang Can blushed and then nodded.
"Ours are all done, and they passed the preliminary test. We should be able to complete the final test in another month or so."
"Really? Where is it? Let me go take a look."
Wang Can scratched his head after hearing this, "Well, they were coming, so we hid."
After he said this, Song Lao, Chen Fang and other people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences became puzzled. Could it be that this satellite is different from the one in front of them?
Faced with everyone's doubts, Wang Can whispered, "Ours is smaller."
Everyone was confused, and Chen Fang even asked, "Xiao? What's wrong? Is there a problem with Xiao?"
Wang Can nodded and then said, "Our communications satellite weighs only about 900 kilograms, which is already quite heavy. If the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry wants to launch it, they will need a specially designed rocket to send it up."
They were aware of this, which is why they built a new launch base in Xizhou.
"So, how heavy was the weight you made for them?"
Wang Can smiled, then made a "one" gesture, and then a "five" gesture.
Chen Fang was puzzled, so Hu Xuping tentatively asked, "1,500 kilograms?"
Wang Can nodded.
At this moment, Old Song remembered something and hurriedly asked, "I remember your price was charged by the kilogram, right?"
Wang Can nodded again.
"How many?"
Hu Xuping asked anxiously.
Before Wang Can could answer, Chen Fang, who knew about this, took a deep breath and said, "One hundred thousand, US dollars."
In an instant, Hu Xuping's fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he exclaimed in surprise, "One and a half hundred million?"
Now Wang Can doesn't need to nod.
Old Song patted Wang Can on the shoulder and said, "You guys are really something."
Wang Can gave a wry smile, "There's nothing we can do. They have too many demands, so we have no choice but to comply."
Upon hearing this, the group fell silent instantly.
Yang Xiaotao's voice came from afar, "Therefore, our calculated application time is three years."
Old Song suddenly raised his head, "Are you going to provide another one in three years?"
Wang Can looked ahead blankly, then said with a hint of uncertainty, "This...maybe, is it?"
"Depend on!"
"I"
There was another commotion at the back of the group.
