It was done.
It was basically done.
The two countries quickly reached an agreement on the establishment of the Earth Federation and were about to enter the preparatory stage.
With the fastest efficiency, the organization would take shape, operate, and exert its functions and influence within a year.
Why was it so fast?
Because there was no other option after this.
With the instability of the M nation's political scene, when Lanfelord stepped down and the new president came to power, he would probably have no interest in the Earth Federation.
If the voice of the hardliners rose and an extremist was elected to power, the M nation would become a threat to world peace. It would take up a lot of energy and resources of the Z nation and even lead to various conflicts … This was not good for the Z nation.
Divert attention.
Establish the Earth Federation.
Both sides would appropriately reduce the size of nuclear weapons to save costs.
Healthy competition, win-win cooperation, and invest resources into outer space exploration.
The benefits brought by this were definitely better than fighting to the death on Earth.
Such an organization, such a major matter, could only be promoted quickly by Lanfelord, who had a high reputation and high support rate. Even if the Z nation took the initiative to invite him, the successor who came to power might not be able to do so.
As the saying goes, opportunities do not come twice!
Strike while the iron is hot.
Therefore, after only two days of consideration, Lanfelord was called back by a phone call on his way to the airport.
Another four days of closed-door negotiations.
The world's media was doubtful and some rumors even appeared.
On the 28th of March.
The two countries completely reached an agreement and released a statement — "Joint Statement on the Establishment of the" Earth Federation. "
As soon as the contents of this statement were announced.
"Boom!"
The whole world was shocked and then went into a frenzy of discussion:
"The Earth Federation will establish a powerful political body that unifies all countries. It will focus on the interests of Earth and provide services for all mankind."
"It will have a specialized army and the right to issue a global currency. It can intervene in the affairs of some countries. The decrees passed by the Earth Federation Parliament have a stronger binding force on the member countries and must be implemented."
"The working language and text documents of the Federation are in Z language and English. To improve work efficiency, other languages are only used for informal purposes and will be provided by artificial intelligence."
"Among the member countries that join the Earth Federation, the permanent members need to contribute 1% of the country's GDP. Ordinary member countries need to contribute 0.5% of the country's GDP every year as a federal membership fee. Countries with a per capita GDP of less than US $3,000 are exempted from paying. Countries that delay or default in paying will be expelled from the Federation and will not be able to enjoy any rights until they pay up. "
"On important issues, the Chairman of the Federal Parliament, the Z nation and the M nation enjoy the right of veto, and there are only three vetoes?"
Immediately, three countries felt anxious and frantic!
The United Kingdom was the first to speak. "What about our veto power? What about our important role and status? Who wants to take away the power that belongs to the British Empire? "
France immediately said, "I'm sorry, we are not interested in the so-called 'Earth Federation'. The contributions we have made to this planet, our efforts and sacrifices, have been despicably and shamelessly obliterated. France will never join such an unfair organization."
The Russian media said, "Why are there only three veto rights? What about our permanent board member status? Even if we don't talk about our contributions in World War II, have you forgotten that we are the largest country? Have you forgotten that we have thousands of nuclear weapons in our hands? Give us a veto right now! "
However …
The dissatisfied voices of the three countries were met with an even more infuriating reply.
First, the Earth Federation was established in the new century and has nothing to do with the last century. It determines the future fate of mankind under the current international order.
Second, if one wants to become a "permanent member" of the Earth Federation, the population size must be more than 300 million, and the GDP must be more than 20 trillion dollars.
If one did not have enough population and strength, it would not be able to bear the fate of the entire Earth. It also did not have the qualifications and ability to lead and lead the Earth Federation to a glorious future.
Obviously, there were currently only two countries that had this qualification and ability: the Z nation and the M nation.
On the Internet, the three countries also received a lot of cynicism from netizens.
"Are you kidding me? Two disgraces of the P5 and a poor bear with only a nuclear stick in his hand want to represent all of mankind and decide the affairs of more than 8 billion people. Aren't they thinking too much?"
"These countries should have been expelled a long time ago. As the saying goes, virtue does not match position. If you don't have enough strength, don't take the position that doesn't belong to you."
"It's good that there are fewer permanent board members. It's easier to negotiate when there are fewer people, but it's difficult to get things done when there are too many people. The United Nations is an example. Other than wrangling and forming factions, it has no executive power and credibility. It is completely a rubber stamp. There is no fairness and justice, and its role is getting more and more useless. "
"The population of Britain and France is only tens of millions, and the GDP of Russia is less than 20,000. They are indeed small and poor countries with no representation. It is better to put down the pride in your heart and be an ordinary member. Even if the gap is huge, this is the reality of the world. People only recognize strength."
"What if the three countries don't accept reality and don't join the Earth Federation?" someone asked.
"What will the overall impact be without the three of them? Is their role indispensable? I don't think there will be much impact without them. "
"Hey, that's true. It will be fine as long as the other countries join. It will be fine without these few."
"I suddenly find that their position is so awkward and sad."
Not only that.
After the joint statement was announced.
The two countries moved quickly and soon made a series of dazzling moves.
The first was the dissolution of the United Nations.
He had suddenly disbanded the largest international organization.
Then, the Earth Federation was quickly established on the original site. The diplomatic representatives of the original countries could immediately apply to join the Earth Federation and immediately put themselves into new work.
"No, how can you do this?"
"A major event like dissolving the United Nations must be approved by a unanimous vote."
"We don't recognize the Earth Federation, we only recognize the United Nations. If you suddenly dissolve this organization, then we will go somewhere else to form one!"
The three countries of Britain, France, and Russia strongly opposed and even established a temporary United Nations, roping in more than a dozen countries.
Unfortunately, the arms could not twist the thighs.
No matter how much the younger brothers opposed, they could not resist the big boss and the second boss playing hooligans together.
If they did not join the Earth Federation, they would immediately face sanctions … Would the small countries be afraid?
The two superpowers held a joint military exercise of unprecedented scale, using up to 10 aircraft carriers, the scene was shocking.
And continued to stay in the temporary United Nations, an illegal organization, there were many means of suppression waiting for them.
They also promised some benefits to tempt them.
In just a few months, the number of countries and regions that joined the Earth Federation had reached 194.
In the temporary United Nations, only a few countries were left, gritting their teeth and struggling alone with a strong belief.
