403: Chapter 383: Era 403: Chapter 383: Era Wanjing, the capital of Eastern Country, is a supercity with a population of over 30 million people.
In the entire Eastern Continent and even the entire world, it is one of the top ten supercities.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the political and economic hub of the whole Eastern Continent, and at the sa ti, one of the world’s most crucial “fortresses”.
However, due to its fa, it has been destroyed ti and ti again in various movies and TV shows, along with the capital of the island nation to the east and a particular special zone across the ocean.
At this mont, an important eting is underway in a certain area of Wanjing.
Song Siyuan, an ordinary na, but with an extraordinary identity.
At the age of 62, he is a pri minister and also the standing chairman of the various State’s Congress.
He is the pri minister of Eastern Country, which does not have a presidential system.
He is not only the nominal head of the governnt, but also the most powerful existence in the Eastern Continent in practice.
But at present, he is also focused intently, communicating repeatedly with the opponents on the screen in front of him, trying to find the optimal solution that everyone can accept.
“…It’s already been seven hours…”
“This is the third day…
Hopefully, the talks don’t collapse again…”
In one corner of the room, his security personnel were also whispering, not optimistic about the outco of these negotiations.
“…
I think, with the strength of our nation, we should occupy more shares in the next phase of the plan…”
There were not many people in the whole world who dared to speak like this in front of Premier Song, and now, several of them were on the remote screens.
On the screen wall were the leaders and deputy leaders of various countries.
The six biggest screens in the front row were the heads of the seven most powerful countries on this planet..
along with the Eastern Country, they ford the seven standing mber states of the United Negotiation Organization (UTO).
This was not the first ti they had debated, and now the aggressive president of the Huaqi Federation insisted that their country should occupy more interests and shares based on their strength.
“…So it’s the Huaqi’s turn to stir things up?” Premier Song took a sip of tea, feeling indifferent as he saw the inevitable collapse of the talks.
Several other major countries also had their own ideas, supporting or opposing.
But for such a plan and decision that involves the whole world, it is difficult to reach an agreent, and it only takes one or two big countries to refuse cooperation and everything falls apart.
This highest level of eting on the planet wasted ti in endless debates and finally ended without any results after two antagonistic leaders openly praised (and criticized) each other.
This failure ans that the “Joint Conference” has failed once more.
The next ti such a high-level eting can be organized will be at least another half a year.
During that period, several countries must complete their elections and transitions, and the newly appointed leaders may not understand the importance of the “plan” in a short period of ti, which will again waste even more ti.
Even with the most optimistic estimates, the start of the “plan” will be delayed for at least another year and a half.
But can the world really afford to waste ti like this indefinitely?
In fact, this plan had already reached its preset conditions for execution five years ago, and all countries had even completed their morandum of the plan more than a decade ago, just waiting for the right ti to implent it.
However, when the mont arrived, several countries changed leaders, and when it was ti for the plan to be executed, a new round of wrangling ensued.
In Premier Song’s eyes, it was due to the lack of courage and determination to press the “nuclear button” by the new leaders.
After the screens went dark one by one, Premier Song did not leave imdiately to deal with his almost infinite official work.
He drank his tea, waited patiently, and even had dinner at his desk in the anti.
Finally, at around seven or eight o’clock, the screens lit up again.
However, this ti, not all the screens were lit.
Unlike the previous seventy or more large and dium-sized screens (representing about 300 countries globally), this ti, a total of only eleven screens were lit.
The six main screens in the middle of the room only had one lit screen, representing their neighbor to the north of Eastern Country.
“…Leduc Peninsula, Red Star Republic, Archipelago Alliance, Sakura Kingdom, and Northern Alliance…”
These dozen or so countries have different relationships with Eastern Country, so are very close, others have so competition, and even longstanding grudges.
The only common ground is probably their relatively close geographical location, all living around the Eastern Continent.
When everyone arrived, Premier Song, who had been diating during the main conference, finally beca serious.
He nodded, and as the leader of the eting, began to speak.
“…Everyone saw it.
They’ve stirred up the executive eting again, but our people got the news that their secret moves never stopped…”
“…We can’t hesitate anymore…
Well, actually, everyone hasn’t been hesitating, but doing their thing behind the scenes.
But now, we need to consolidate and push the plan to the next stage…”
“…The first range is these areas.
If there are no objections, let’s get started…”
“Fifty years ago, our predecessors made a decision for the entire world, forcibly upgrading it.
As their successors, we can’t judge the right or wrong of their actions, but now it’s our turn to make a choice.
For the sake of our descendants, let’s take responsibility, even if it brings infamy or turns us into historical criminals…
Go ahead and vote.”
This ti, the previous four votes in favor, two abstentions, and one objection, which led to the “veto of one vote,” were replaced by a single common vote among the Eastern Continent’s twelve countries present.
These twelve countries, along with their federations, alliances, and local autonomous regions, actually amount to more than thirty countries with at least two billion people.
If they reach consensus, it’s equivalent to at least one-fifth of the planet’s power agreeing.
“…Very well, unanimously approved.
So, I declare that our Eastern Continent Pan-Alliance’s ‘Nirvana Plan’ enters the second stage…”
The leaders present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To reach this point, they had not only privately negotiated for more than three years but also gambled their political and even personal lives.
Most of them won’t see the mont when the plan succeeds.
On the contrary, many of them will beco “losers of the era” for various reasons due to the drastic changes brought about by the plan.
On this office desk, a series of docunts spread out, each marked with “Top Secret,” “Extre Secret,” and “Not Allowed to Leave the eting Room.”
After all, the contents are too important and utterly incredible.
For example, one page reads…
“…Grant permanent residency rights to foreigners, and invite powerful foreign gods to reside in our territories voluntarily…”
“…Review and clean up the existing registered Proper Gods, and hunt down and strangle those who do not et the requirents from all aspects…”
“…Increase new civilian channels, review and communicate with the existing ‘Evil Gods,’ select those with strong combat power, and invite them to beco Proper Gods…”
“…Undo the seal on certain hazardous taboo practices, such as Corpse Controlling Practitioners, Insect-Manipulating Masters, and chanic Spiritualists, for official developnt under control, but make sure to strictly control the number and scale of chanic Spiritualists…”
So parts have already beco part of the “reform,” unknowingly pushed to the front of the tis’ wave.
“…Publicly disclose supernatural secrets on a large scale, lower the manufacturing cost of Awakening Elixirs through governnt subsidies and technology improvents, and promote them among civilians…”
“…Increase the number of newborn professionals.
Within three years, raise the total number of professional Secret Keepers (certificate holders) to more than 120% of the current level…”
“…Promote the harmlessness and equal intellect of foreign creatures and races, prepare for large-scale encounters of the third kind, control the propaganda machinery, and arrest and execute those who advocate racial supremacy and humanity-first ideologies…”
These seemingly earth-shattering changes are actually the prelude to this “Nirvana Plan.”
As the main part of the plan begins, one of its aspects will soon impact countless people, especially the younger generation of professionals…
“…Utilize the existing Secret Keeper qualification examination chanism to review and open the ‘Explorer’ qualification to the public, and open the first batch of exploration areas to them…”
Simple words, yet they signify the changing of tis, the entanglent of countless lives within it.
“The Nirvana Plan, huh…” When the lengthy eting finally ended, Premier Song also breathed a sigh of relief.
In his open notebook, an equal sign was drawn next to the core “Nirvana Plan,” at the other end of which was an existence well-known in high-level circles.
“Nirvana Plan = Plan of The Thirteenth Pillar Construction, huh?
Is our choice correct?”
No one in this era, let alone Premier Song, could predict the answer.
But since the tide of the tis has started to roll, everyone will inevitably be affected.
Due to his license fiasco, Lu Ping’an, who would be among the first to be involved, had no idea what awaited him.
All he knew now was the joyful feeling of a “fair deal.”
“Got it for 210 points.
Heh, that’s a win.”
