NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1010 The meeting ends
When it comes to the division of the ocean, the President of the United States has personally stepped in. It is impossible for human beings to accept only a coastline. A large amount of resources are obtained from the sea. If they really follow the opinions of the Atlanteans, human beings will lose the sea, their marine pasture.
Similarly, most of the shipping in the human world is on the sea. Without the sea for shipping, the economic situation of the entire human world would be difficult to imagine. The so-called economic globalization would suffer a severe blow in an instant, and the ocean shipping industry would also suffer a devastating blow.
"Ordinary trade shipping can be temporarily unrestricted, as long as the cargo ships' pollution discharge meets the standards. One year later, cargo ships will need to give up part of their profits in exchange with the Atlanteans. Similarly, the Atlanteans will also have the task of maintaining cargo ship shipping safety. This can be regarded as cooperation between the two parties, a win-win situation for both parties."
"According to your own statistics, the losses of ocean-going freighters are not small. If the Atlanteans help to deal with this part of the losses, it is reasonable for the Atlanteans to get corresponding benefits."
In fact, Om didn't care about this little bit of profit at all. The technology of the Atlanteans was much more advanced than that of humans, and the richness of the sea was incomparable to that of the land. But this was a matter of attitude, and it was also the beginning of cooperation.
Even if this benefit is of little value, if they don't speak up now, how can they speak up later? Now that the Atlanteans have shown up, communication with the land is indispensable in the future. This kind of dispute over interests is definitely not the first time.
"Okay, this request is not excessive." The president said nothing, and Amanda directly agreed to the request.
Because Amanda knew very well that this request was just the beginning, and if she disagreed, there would be no way to discuss the following topics.
"The second request is that there must be some restrictions on deep-sea fishing. It's not that you humans are not allowed to engage in deep-sea fishing, but some special sea areas and special biological groups need to be rested. You should work hard to develop marine aquaculture. Even we Atlanteans have always been shepherds of the ocean. If you only fish for the products of the ocean, there will always be a day when all the fish are exhausted."
Om's request is reasonable, and the development of marine aquaculture is also another new industry.
"Finally, this is a general division of the sea area. It is a comprehensive division based on the previous world shipping routes, ocean currents and products. The subtle details can be further negotiated."
Looking at the detailed map that Om took out, Amanda also felt a headache. Many places had nothing to do with America. Naturally, the Atlanteans would negotiate with other countries behind these places.
"Why is such a large area of the waters near the Pacific Ocean divided?" Amanda asked, pointing to the large areas of the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean under Asia.
"This is the sphere of influence of Zebel, another powerful country. Are you sure you want to compete with Mera? Don't forget that I did stop, but Zebel has not taken any action so far."
There was no threat in Om's words, he was simply stating the facts, but to Amanda they sounded like pure threats.
"Princess Mera, is this your opinion as well?"
"That's right. These waters will belong to our Zebel Nation from now on. Military forces from any country without permission are prohibited from staying nearby. Civilian use requires approval and reporting. Reasonable fishing is fine. Unreasonable military actions are prohibited."
This time Amanda did not dare to agree directly, but turned her attention to the President of the United States. Once this agreement was finalized, America's interests in the East would be completely cut off, but if it did not agree, it would most likely face a war with the Zerbel Kingdom.
No matter which result is hard to accept, but in the end the President of the United States agreed. Because there is no choice but to agree, the final agreement is straightforward.
After negotiations until the evening, a preliminary agreement was finally temporarily finalized. Of course, this is only a preliminary opinion, and the subsequent agreement still needs to be continuously polished, so there is no need for such a high-profile consultation on the details.
Of course, the United States agreed so readily this time because it was forced to do so. If it had not agreed, there might have been a new war.
The meeting ended so simply, and everyone dispersed. Shisui left immediately after presiding over the meeting and disappeared in an instant.
"Did the high-speed camera record it?" Amanda asked Rick beside her. This meeting must have been recorded. Amanda had prepared different cameras before the meeting. The scene where Shisui disappeared directly aroused Amanda's great interest.
"I recorded it, but it's useless. The high-speed camera couldn't capture how he left." Rick was helpless. Facing these freak-like strong men, Rick had already exhausted all his strength just to stand there.
"I will stop Mera later. Be careful and don't offend these people." Amanda's target this time is Mera. There is no way to talk to Om. Shisui walked very fast, and only Mera seemed to be in no hurry. Moreover, the sea area occupied by the country of Zebel where Mera is seems to be the largest this time, which makes Amanda a little confused.
"Ms. Mera, I'm sorry to bother you. It's our first meeting. I'm Amanda, just a lieutenant colonel in the military. If it's convenient, can we chat for a while?"
"Hello, Amanda, what can I do for you? If it's about the agreement, don't ask me. There will be someone special to handle this issue later. I won't worry about the details."
Mera didn't know why Amanda came to her, but fortunately Mera was not very anxious. Next, Mera planned to go straight home, well, her new home, not her home under the sea.
"It's not about the agreement. I just want to have a casual chat with Her Royal Highness the Princess to enhance the connection between land and sea. By the way, Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed very beautiful. I wonder if she has someone she likes now?"
"I already have my other half, what's the problem?" Mera showed some wariness towards Amanda's weird behavior.
"Actually, I just want to know some things about Zebel. After all, Zebel seems to be much more low-key. You are the princess of Zebel, right?"
"Yes, I am the princess of Zebel and my father manages everything in Zebel. What do you want to know?" Mera didn't know that Amanda was just here to make herself known.
