V5 was, of course, very anxious.
Who would have thought that the Kajen Nation would make such an earth-shattering declaration when he was in contact with all the people in charge of the Dark Continent?
It was a reckless and irresponsible declaration that had stirred up an unprecedented earthquake among the people.
In a dimly lit meeting room on the fifth floor of the Ferry Bureau, there was the sound of someone banging on the table.
"No restrictions? Anyone can go to the Dark Continent? Kajin is too arrogant! "
There was a U-shaped table in the meeting room, and 15 people were sitting there.
There was a large projection screen in front of the table, on which a "real" world map was projected.
A bespectacled, cultured young man stood beside the screen. There was a podium in front of him, on which there were many pages of detailed reports.
The one who banged on the table was a middle-aged man in a suit with a brandy nose. His eyes were wide open, emitting undisguised anger.
Everyone else, including the young man on the podium, looked at him calmly.
The people sitting here were all people with high positions in their countries. They were all capable people from different countries.
The reason why they were able to gather here in such a short period of time was because they all held important positions in the Ferry Bureau, and each had their own duties.
Among the 15 people sitting here, some of them represented the Prime Ministers of the five major countries. In other words, this small meeting was not simple.
His immediate request to Kajin was nothing more than a test.
"We are sitting here to find a solution, not to make meaningless comments," someone looked at the brandy nose man and said calmly.
The brandy nose man glanced at that person and calmed down immediately. He said, "I didn't mean to interrupt the meeting. Please continue."
No one said anything.
The cultured young man in front of the podium made use of this opportunity to continue.
His tone was calm and forceful, and his words were clear.
But what he said was already known to everyone in the meeting room.
However, everyone was patiently waiting for the young man to finish his narration.
After that, a white-haired man with wrinkles on his forehead said, "What we want to hear is not something that can only reduce the number of volunteers, but an effective way to stop Kajin's stubbornness through official channels."
The young man nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Please take a look at the threats between countries in the basic treaty of the United Nations Charter. Items 7 to 9 clearly state that it is strictly prohibited to take a positive attitude towards dangerous creatures or even unknown threats."
"If the level of danger may threaten national security, the United Nations Charter allows other countries to intervene or stop it through coercive means, including military force."
A man with a crew cut tapped on the table with a pen and said, "We know what you just said, including what you said before."
Someone beside him said calmly, "Kajin's country is the same. Moreover, the matter has been blown out of proportion. Negotiation is no longer enough to make Kajin country to retreat."
The refined young man paused and said calmly, "My speech is indeed too roundabout. For this, I apologize to everyone present. In fact, I want to confirm whether everyone has realized that the conventional means that can be used now are extremely limited."
"The only means we have are obviously inclined to military force."
A dark-skinned middle-aged woman said, "So, tell us what you think."
The cultured young man looked at the middle-aged woman. He knew that the solution they wanted was not violent means such as military intervention. To put it simply, they wanted to solve the problem with the least cost.
That was what the country always wanted.
However, he had a well-thought-out plan for the right answer.
The fact that he could stand here at the age of 30 proved that he was a real talent.
The young man glanced around and said calmly, "If we want to solve the current dilemma peacefully, we have to include Kajin in the V5."
Hearing this, the look in everyone's eyes changed a little, but it was covered by the dim light in the room.
No one asked any questions. They all waited for the young man to continue.
"We have to re-establish an international organization called V6 and ask the other five countries to support Kajin's ferry operation behind the scenes. We can't show that we have no choice but to accept him."
"Instead, we have to show Kajin that we're waiting for the representatives of the six continents to be ready for the voyage."
"In this way, the name of King Kajin will be recorded in history as the pioneer of the new continent. But in return, Kajin must sign a written agreement with the other five countries to share the profits equally."
"As for how to distribute the profits, we have to negotiate with them before the V6 is officially established."
Everyone fell silent, and the young man didn't say anything else. The whole room fell into silence.
A short moment later, the red-nosed man, who had only shown an extreme reaction, didn't express his opinion. Instead, he asked another question that had yet to be resolved. "We all know that the survival rate of exploring the Darkness Continent is only 0.04%. Therefore, if ordinary citizens participate in the Darkness Continent's exploration, they'll just be sending themselves to their deaths."
"If we do as you said, the V5 will have to bear the consequences of countless people dying on the exploration route."
The young man looked at the red-nosed man and spoke of the follow-up plan unhurriedly. "There are many uninhabited islands that can accommodate a large number of immigrants in the non-interference sea near the border coastline. When the time comes, we just have to define it as the Dark Continent and let the ferry volunteers land on the island."
"As for the actual crossing, as long as Kajin is willing to accept the condition that the ferry volunteers must participate in a strict selection process, we can let them handle it themselves."
"After all, we've all been rejected on the Dark Continent, and we have a consensus that we won't risk our lives again. We can't back down on this point."
"I see..."
The red-nosed man nodded slightly.
According to the young man's plan, the Dark Sea was not involved in the exploration of the Dark Continent. They could basically solve the problem of Kajin's gold rush by throwing the ignorant people there.
However...
He looked at the young man again, but someone else asked before he could, "Do you think Kajin will agree to this condition on the basis of joining the V5?"
"As long as they are given enough freedom, they have no reason to refuse," the young man said.
"Then there's another problem. If they are given enough freedom, they must keep an eye on them, right?"
The young man looked at the speaker and replied, "So far, we have sent a request to the Association to capture Bujand. Once we succeed, we will ask the Association to persuade Bujand. If the Association can persuade Bujand to agree to this condition, the problem will be solved."
"What if the Hunters' Association fails?"
"If the Hunters' Association is not up to the task, and the negotiation with King Kajin fails as well, then we can only send the troops of the Licensing Office to participate in the crossing and monitor it."
After listening to the young man's speech, everyone in the room fell into deep thought.
After sorting out the pros and cons, the next step is... the V6?
.....
In the corridor of the Association, Kita Yoshida stopped Law.
"Law, why did you refuse?"
Kita Yoshida looked at Law's back and frowned slightly.
Of course, the reason she said this was not because the confession failed, but because Law refused to participate in the operation to capture Bujand at the end of the meeting, and Nitro acquiesced to it.
In Kita Yoshida's opinion, Luo Hejin and Law were the most important talents in this kind of operation. With their help, the risk of going to the Dark Continent would be reduced by at least half.
However, not only did Law refuse, but even King also refused to join the 12 Earthly Branches. She knew the reason, but she did not know the reason why Law refused.
Luo Hui looked at Kita Yoshida and said seriously, "I have no reason to answer your question. In fact, if the old man didn't make such a decision, I would like to go with you."
After that, he left without hesitation.
In fact, he felt regretful.
One of the original intentions of joining the 12 Earthly Branches was to pull the strongest members of the Earthly Branches into the team.
There was Bordeaux, who was the main fighting force, Ge 'er, who could provide the antidote in real time, Pijoen, who could translate ancient texts, Qi Duo, who knew medicine, and Sachu, who could relieve the pressure on his teammates.
These were all rare talents, but it was a pity that they would only join Nitro's ship.
Kita Yoshida stared blankly at Law, unable to say another word.
She could not understand, especially the trace of regret left by Luo Hui when he turned away.
She did not understand.
Just what were Luo and the President thinking?
