1375. Meeting to Divide the Spoils
After the new president took office, the United States also issued a formal apology to the United Nations. It was mainly because when the Ring virus ravaged Japan, the United States ignored the lives of civilians and attacked the Guardian Group's robots instead of attacking Yamamura Sadako.
After several days of discussion, the United Nations finally reached a consensus. They believed that when the United States was facing the invasion of the Dimensional Universe, they focused on internal strife and used their country's power to oppress a very promising enterprise. This had a very bad impact on the international society and the market environment. However, when the Hydra army invaded, the Seventh Fleet fought back bravely and used their lives to build a line of defense, winning everyone's respect. Also, when they attacked the Golden City's floating city, the reorganized Seventh Fleet also made up for their mistakes and fully cooperated with them, so they could offset some of their mistakes.
However, as a punishment, the "Japan-US Security Treaty", which was signed in 1951 and had a history of 53 years, was officially abolished as a punishment for the United States. The United States would withdraw its troops from Japan in the next five years, and the Guardian Group would station troops in Japan to assist in Japan's defense. In this resolution, the United States only abstained, which was why they knew that the result would not change.
In fact, Tang Yu did not want to participate in the matter of stationing troops in Japan, but on one hand, the Prime Minister of Japan strongly requested it, and on the other hand, the other four permanent members of the United Nations. No matter who took on this role, it would have a very serious impact on international politics. Therefore, Tang Yu finally agreed to station troops in Japan for 50 years. After 50 years, the next decision would be made according to the specific situation.
However, the military base of the United States in Guam was still there, and the military base at Port D in the Philippines, which was previously used to protect or monitor Aurora Island, was still there. It could be considered as a security measure, and they did not completely withdraw from the western Pacific stage.
However, as the most important chess piece of the United States in the western Pacific, the loss of Japan caused a major hole in the Pacific strategy of the United States. It was impossible to restrict China with just Port D and Guam. Moreover, because China's leader was also of Chinese descent, he was closer to the Guardian Group. When the United States vigorously attacked the Guardian Group, China did not force them to do anything. Instead, they turned a blind eye.
Under such circumstances, China's development was smoother than the original historical trajectory. According to Tang Yu's information, China had already placed the issue of TW and the islands in the South China Sea on the agenda.
Of course, the US wasn't satisfied, so they increased their control over South Korea. The South Korean government was furious, but they didn't dare to say anything. These political chain reactions were all in the future. Moreover, according to his promise, Tang Yu would never really get involved in these matters.
Forcibly removing Japan from the US's Pacific strategy was the only explanation that Tang Yu could give to his Chinese heritage. After all, he was now in the System Space, and the Guardian Empire had already been established in other worlds, so he needed to have his own standpoint. However, this was also a very crucial step. At the very least, China's future development would not be hindered.
After that, the United Nations recognized Aurora Island and Sky Island as the official territories of the Guardian Group in a resolution addressed to all countries. The resolution was passed by 192 votes in favor and one against. Without a doubt, the one who opposed was poor Indonesia, because whether it was Aurora Island or Sky Island, they were originally their territory. However, they didn't even have the courage to protest to Tang Yu. On the contrary, they went to the Guardian Group and wanted to join in the development of Sky Island.
Opposition was just a formality. Anyway, the result couldn't be changed, so it was better to get some benefits from other aspects. This was the current thinking of Indonesia.
Next, it was time to divide the loot. During the invasion of the Dimensional Universe, the invaders had left behind a large number of relics, and these things were completely different from the current human technological system! If they could be studied carefully, it would definitely be a technological explosion!
These relics included the wreckage of the Hydra Legion's three Helicarriers, a large number of Androids' corpses, a large number of Sadako Yamamura's corpse, the Ring virus pathogen, the Nemesis' T-virus pathogen, the weapons left by the Tianzi's Gate cultivators, and the flying ship.
And most importantly, the Golden City's Floating City, a large number of Stone Golems, Rakshasa, and Naga Banshees' corpses!! And the wreckage of the Burning Legion's Planet Destroyer brought by the Dark Blade Council!! There were even a large number of demon corpses!!
In addition, the corpses and relics of the experimenters were also very precious. Including the wreckage of Steel Lock, the wreckage of Sky Whistle, the captured Sadako Yamamura, the demon sword left by Ah Ching, and so on.
Tang Yu was very clear that the Guardian Group would never be able to digest such a huge amount of things. It would be the stupidest behavior to take all these things for themselves. There was once a fair-skinned and handsome ancient king who once said, 'Fools build walls, while the wise build bridges.' Mutual communication was the greatest aid to the development of science and technology. The Qing Dynasty was a good example of the consequences of keeping things to themselves.
He tried his best to make the Guardian Group not interfere with the structure of the world as much as possible for this purpose. Tang Yu would share these spoils and results with all countries so that everyone could make progress together. It could even be said that Tang Yu knew that the United States would retaliate against the Guardian Group sooner or later, and he did not hesitate to share with them.
Tang Yu and the others were backed by the System Space. With such convenience, if they still lost to the United States in the race of technology and armaments, then he might as well not be in the Platinum Group. On the contrary, the technological explosion caused by such a competition was very beneficial to Tang Yu.
Of these spoils, Tang Yu kept some of the things that the Guardian Group could use, mainly the relics of the experimenters, including the corpses of Sky Whistle and the others, the captured Sadako Yamamura, Ah Ching's demon sword, and so on. These things were very powerful, and there was a bottom line for sharing them.
But for other things, Tang Yu did not have so many concerns. Under the proposal of the Guardian Group, the United Nations set up a foundation called the Earth Foundation.
After that, the salvage and auction of the spoils of war began. Several artificial floating islands of hundreds of thousands of square meters were even built on the Bismarck Sea where the floating city sank to assist in the salvage work. All the salvaged relics of the invaders from the Dimensional Universe were put up for auction. The main body of the auction was based on countries, and every country could participate. The highest bidder won, and the Guardian Group would not enjoy any privileges in this.
The funds from the auction went to the Earth Foundation, which would first be used to compensate the families and soldiers who died in the war of the invasion of the Dimensional Universe. Then it would be used to maintain the Universal Court. Then it would be used to offset the losses of the countries involved in the war, including the loss of ammunition, equipment, robots, and so on. After that, the funds would be used for post-war reconstruction. Finally, the cost of salvaging the spoils of war would also be paid by this foundation.
