DC: New Krypton (Omniverse)

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: United Nations Decision



The United Nations convened an emergency meeting at lightning speed.

However, at the beginning of the meeting, the focus was not on how to handle the extraterrestrials but rather on the condemnation of the 21 countries in the Pacific Rim Coalition.

Many countries believed that the root cause of the issue lay in the greed of some authoritarian leaders within these 21 countries, who disregarded the ongoing threat of extraterrestrial monster invasions on Earth. They insisted on harming the Space Extraterrestrials, which led to the extraterrestrials taking actions against Earth.

The Pacific Rim Coalition of 21 countries had to bear primary responsibility for this encounter with the Space Extraterrestrials.

Some countries swiftly initiated a vote at the United Nations meeting, arguing that the 21 countries of the Pacific Rim Coalition should prioritize the safety of the entire Earth, accept responsibility for their actions, open up their technology, promote global technological progress, and collectively face the extraterrestrials. If necessary, they should apologize to the extraterrestrials and admit their mistakes.

The vote passed with a significant majority, 115 to 78, supporting this proposal.

Representatives of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, with veto power, had grim expressions. They rejected the proposal by a vote of 3 to 2, with one veto.

Among the five permanent members of the Security Council, three were countries from the Pacific Rim Coalition.

The representative of the proposing country was furious, slamming both hands on the table. They believed they had to bear the primary responsibility, and the public outside was condemning them because they could not engage in friendly communication due to the greed of some leaders who disregarded the Earth's rights.

They had to provide an explanation to all of humanity.

The 21 countries of the Pacific Rim Coalition soon took action. Most presidents and leaders publicly apologized, announced that they would not hold positions related to public decisions, and committed the rest of their lives to charitable activities to make amends for their past mistakes.

The public had a lot to say and attempted to publish their comments on various countries' official websites, but each comment was controlled and deleted. Finally, they turned to the video of the Space Extraterrestrials and found that the comments section had been updated and organized with various topics. Sensitive language was not being deleted, and they began to openly criticize.

"????"

"Even if they don't hold positions, they're still living comfortably compared to 99% of the people, right?"

"Everyone, let's be honest. If the extraterrestrials decide to wage war on Earth because of their decisions, the ones who will suffer and die are ordinary civilians, while those who apologized and gave up their political roles will be completely unaffected. Moreover, the ordinary civilians will have to pick up weapons to protect these leaders."

"Most decisions are made by those who won't be affected by them."

"I believe there will soon be slogans calling for the defense of Earth, urging everyone to fight bravely and protect the planet."

"Don't lose faith in humanity, everyone. This is human nature, human nature!"

"I will remain an ordinary person defending Earth and protecting humanity even if war breaks out."

"Everyone, you're overthinking this. According to the latest video observations, Professor Kenra from Cambridge University has calculated that the extraterrestrial's body strength is at an extremely absurd level. If we assume the Earth's strongest material has a strength rating of 10, then the extraterrestrial's body would rate around 30 to withstand a Rattlesnake missile without a scratch."

"At the same time, based on the video, the speed at which the tanks fired and the extraterrestrial caught the artillery shells, moving from inside Anchorage Base to the square, is approximately 40 Mach."

"While the fastest nuclear bombs on Earth are only about 28 Mach."

"When our most potent weapons pose no threat to the extraterrestrial."

"This war can't be fought."

"I'd call it a massacre!"

"As long as they're willing, we humans will be like livestock to be slaughtered."

"So, the extraterrestrials have actually been quite gentle. They haven't initiated a world massacre immediately."

"What do the extraterrestrials want?"

"Everyone, I have a suggestion. Let's immediately support the Space Extraterrestrials in dominating Earth. It's like getting a lifeline from a lord (As followers, the Space Extraterrestrials will certainly need us, and we won't die in this war)."

"You're too late; the Space Extraterrestrial Support Club has already reached over a billion members..."

"Darn it, I'm joining now."

"Don't lose hope, everyone. Please choose our civilian organization, Earth Defense Force, to contribute your strength and skills. Even if you're far from headquarters, your every bit will be used to protect Earth. Earth Defense Force Swiss account: 613546****3434***"

In the comments section, people from all over the world, as long as they could access the internet and had a smartphone, joined the discussion, choosing various topics.

Especially the Space Extraterrestrial Support Club, with slogans like: "We are the most staunch supporters of the Space Extraterrestrials. When they conquer Earth, it will be our moment of honor (As followers, the Space Extraterrestrials will certainly need us, and we won't die in this war)."

Suddenly, the Space Extraterrestrial Support Club hit upon the public's fear, ensuring their personal safety. They felt reassured after joining.

Many entire families even joined.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, they joined first to make a good impression on the extraterrestrials.

Especially the experts analyzing the videos, one by one, concluded that there was no hope in a direct confrontation with the extraterrestrials, causing further panic among the public.

But now, they had joined the Space Extraterrestrial Support Club, instantly feeling comforted.

At least they were supporters of the extraterrestrials, and surely the extraterrestrials wouldn't harm them?

Various discussions and opinions emerged, ranging from the Earth Defense Force, a self-defense organization, to extremists seeking to control global nuclear weapons and negotiate with the extraterrestrials, using the Earth itself as a bargaining chip—destroying it if necessary to ensure a mutually assured destruction.

Numerous suggestions were presented to the United Nations.

The primary concern was that human weapons could not catch up with the extraterrestrials.

Furthermore, the idea of researching a weapon capable of defeating the extraterrestrials raised concerns.

When would a nuclear bomb be most powerful?

Everyone in the United Nations knew that just from the video, the extraterrestrial's formidable steel body cast a shadow over their hearts.

Soon, many countries in the United Nations reached a decision. They chose to temporarily appease the extraterrestrials with goodwill. If the extraterrestrials needed a territory as their domain, they would let the extraterrestrials decide which land they desired. The countries would then negotiate among themselves and allocate a piece of land for the extraterrestrials.

In summary, they decided to lead with goodwill and delay things. Perhaps in the process of delaying, they would discover the extraterrestrials' weaknesses or develop weapons capable of killing them?

The strategic policy was set, and the United Nations quickly dispatched personnel to Anchorage Base to express their apologies to the extraterrestrials and extend their goodwill.
