Chapter 1416 Rationality in the Siren world view
At this moment, many people's eyes focused on the holographic projection in the center of the hall, focusing on the "Ophelia Norton" who was as delicate as a doll but lifeless as a doll. They looked at the "last royal family of the ancient Gondor Empire" and seemed to want to see a trace of attitude from the face of this ancient man.
Others were looking at the seats of the Tifeng Empire and the Silver Empire. They were paying attention to any subtle expression changes of Rosetta Augustus and Belsetia Morningstar, waiting for the statements of the two imperial leaders. Every representative on the scene knew that this issue involving basic order was always a matter of small countries. Only the statements of the three empires could determine the final direction of things.
For many representatives here, this is probably the most incredible and unconventional situation they have ever encountered: they discussed whether this abolished city should be regarded as an independent city-state in the sky of a capital of an ancient empire that had been destroyed for seven hundred years, and the last heir of the ancient empire is still alive and pays attention to the progress of the conference deep underground - at the same time, a powerful iron man unit gathered around the last heir...
A representative from a small southwest country couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and muttered to his deputy beside him: "I think they should send someone with less hair next time..."
The deputy also lowered his voice and said helplessly: "I really didn't expect things to develop like this... Although we didn't feel that we had the opportunity to intervene in the Deep Blue Well from the beginning, the previous speculations of the Kingdom advisers all believed that the three empires would occupy and divide this magic source... Now if the Deep Blue Well really becomes an independent city-state and becomes a "member state" of the alliance, many subsequent plans will have to be rescheduled."
"Let's see the situation first," the kingdom representative took a breath, "Proposals like this must be discussed for a long time, at least the opinions of the three empires will be repeated..."
Before the representative finished speaking, a slight buzzing sound suddenly rang in the hall. After the speech prompt, the voice of the Silver Queen Belsetia came: "The Silver Empire agreed to this proposal. As an ally of the Ancient Gondor Empire and one of the current members of the Alliance, we recognize and support the complete sovereignty and neutral status of the Deep Blue Well."
"Tifeng also agrees," almost as the Queen of Silver finished her speech, the voice prompt sounded again, and Rosetta Augustus's slightly low voice came into the ears of the delegates, "Although the ancient country of Gondor has been completely destroyed, the Deep Blue Well has been standing as an independent area and a dungeon state to this day. Now Norton's royal heirs are still there and are actually controlling the region. I believe that from the perspective of legality, historical perspective, current situation, or future alliance development, the legitimacy of Deep Blue Well as an independent city-state should be recognized and supported in a neutral position."
The representatives of various countries in the hall were a little surprised for a moment. Perhaps they did not expect that such a sensitive and worthy of discussion would be "solved" in an instant, but someone soon realized that from the very beginning, the independence and neutrality of the Deep Blue Well might not be a "proposal". The three empires obviously reached a consensus long before this meeting.
For issues like this that really involve alliance stability and basic order after the war, the three empires may have completed negotiations - they will not enter the long quarrel stage in the venue at all.
In the holographic projection in the center of the hall, "Ophelia Norton" sitting on the golden throne was still watching the development of things quietly. There was no emotion in his empty eyes, and he could not even see the slight ups and downs of his body when he was breathing, as if what happened in the venue had nothing to do with her, until Gao Wen's voice broke the silence: "The permanent members voted and then entered the voting stage of member states. If two-thirds of them objected, the proposal would be rejected and discussed again. If the proposal was finally passed, then the process of the Deep Blue Well City State joining the alliance - given the actual situation of Princess Ophelia Norton, the process was completed by Cecil..."
...
The meeting lasted a whole day—but it was just the beginning for the entire Talash meeting.
The Siren successfully became a new member of the alliance, and the Deep Blue Well successfully joined the alliance in the form of a permanent neutral city-state, and was regarded as the "successor of the ancient Gondor Kingdom" in the official definition - and after that, there were countless things to be dealt with: Ophelia Norton announced the export plan for the energy and arcane crystal of the Deep Blue Well while joining the alliance; Tifeng proposed a joint development and reconstruction plan for the entire Gondor wasteland; the Silver Empire proposed a plan to establish a certain transnational development entity, and a large number of proposals for post-war economic reconstruction, food aid, and medical assistance proposed by representatives from various countries including Aogure and the Kaoling Kingdom. Finally, on this first day, the proposals proposed by the Alliance countries piled up into mountains.
Every content in this "mountain" is an urgent task. If every problem is not handled well, it will be a shocking thunder, and this will become a challenge that everyone will face in the next meeting.
This victory itself became the first major challenge faced since the establishment of the alliance - and will also verify like a trial whether the alliance order created by Gowan Cecil can really work as he described in the 112 conference.
"The problems that need to be dealt with are piled up, but as long as these problems are dealt with, the whole world will usher in a period of rapid and stable development," said Gao Wen, standing on the edge of the deck at the edge of the deck, and said to Amber standing beside him. "Fortunately, the situation seems to be good at the moment: both Tifeng and the Silver Empire agree to the tone of 'joint development'. Proposals on medical assistance, food aid and economic boosting should not encounter too many problems. Then every country in the alliance can recover from the trauma of war as soon as possible and find new development opportunities in the Gondor wasteland. As long as domestic pressures can be safely released, the alliance will not be in chaos as a whole."
"Yes, but for the time being," Amber put his hand behind his head, leaning against the railing on the edge of the deck, looking up at the beams released by the purification device in the distant night sky. "Joint development is a beautiful thing, but even the three empires can work together to maintain fair order, and all participating countries can obey the rules honestly. This "development" will sooner or later usher in unfairness. When there is an imbalance, there will always be countries that will feel that others have eaten more, and you have said that it is not that easy to divide the cake."
"It's indeed 'temporary', but it's OK," Gao Wen laughed, and reached out to press Amber's head. "I said that the alliance is a group of porcupines that are gathering together to keep warm. We did not embrace the same ideal selflessly and impartially like saints, but we have to choose unity in order to survive the cold winter. You can't expect any cause to never have problems - find a new way out before the problem gets out of control, and then wait for new problems on a new way out. Our civilization is slowly exploring."
"…That's right," Amber pulled Gao Wen's hand aside from his head. "If the alliance can really last forever, then we may not need this 'alliance' from the beginning."
Under the night, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away. Gao Wen and Amber stopped talking and looked in the direction where the sound came - they saw Tyre, who was in human form, appear on the deck, and followed six shadow clones behind like a corpse-driver...
"Good evening!" Tyr, who had six clones, came to Gao Wen smoothly. She looked quite happy, and she was still awake at this time, blowing the cool night wind. The "Ambassador of the Deep Sea Kingdom" took a deep breath, "The air is so good - it is said that the air quality in this place used to be very poor, and you can get a tuberculosis by taking a breath..."
"It seems like you have lungs," Gao Wenda's face became a little strange when he saw Tyre. At this time, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the group of dull-faced clones behind the other party. "You are still carrying this group... What's that in the end, you actually split the entire mission for yourself? What's your point?"
"Don't this look powerful!" Tyr said with a look of course, "We sirens are a powerful country after all. We can't have only one representative to show up alone when we first appeared in the league meeting, right? When we saw the representatives who didn't know the inside, they thought that the deep sea kingdom was in a down-and-out situation, they couldn't send people..."
Gao Wen's lips trembled, thinking that she wouldn't be able to send someone out - the Siren Queen was really awesome. She dared to let Tyre be the plenipotentiary ambassador. With this guy's wonderful style of doing things, her entire life in the alliance was enough for the Siren's propaganda and diplomatic department to fulfill her for half a year... By the way, does Siren have external propaganda and diplomatic departments?
Thinking of this, Gao Wen asked by the way: "Do you Siren have external propaganda and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
Til immediately put his hips on his hips and answered with confidence: "No."
Gao Wen: “…?”
Even the Amber next to him was shocked: "Wait a minute, do you have no diplomatic department at all?! Then your queen slapped her head and arranged for you as a plenipotentiary ambassador and asked you to join the alliance on behalf of the Deep Sea Kingdom? Don't you think there is anything wrong with this?"
"Of course we don't," unexpectedly Tyre was even more reasonable than before. "We didn't know what happened tens of thousands of years ago when we dealt with land civilization last time. Why did we build a diplomatic department when we were idle? Chat with fish in the sea? But after that, we can set up one, after all, we are joining the alliance now..."
"...Don't you still deal with local water elements?" Gao Wen looked at the "the only diplomat in the Deep Sea Kingdom for tens of thousands of years" in front of him as if he was a ghost. "You are still fighting, and you still discuss peace after the war. At least there must be diplomats on both sides..."
"The water element opposite is not a diplomat. Who has ever heard of the Element World and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
Tyr continued to cross his waist as he spoke: "When we deal with them, we usually start from elemental rifts, break through to the vast sea, and then we will understand each other as we fight. Then Gurulu will come to our queen with the elemental lord who is provoking trouble, and we will accept it. Of course, sometimes there will be Siren accidentally crossing the border of peace, or accidentally sucking the peace agreement when sucking water elements. At that time, the queen will take people over to admit her mistake..."
Speaking of this, she thought about it and looked a little confused: "But for some reason, every time the Elemental Lord saw the Queen taking her sisters to admit her mistakes, she ran away while shouting, "Don't come over."
Gao Wen: "…"
"You elemental creatures are really... messy," even Amber's thoughts have always been weird and couldn't help but cover her forehead. "But it seems that there is no problem with your explanation... If you want to say this, the Siren is really the first elemental creature group in history to engage in diplomatic activities with the 'ordinary race'. Has the alliance successfully entered the elemental world?"
"It's your 'has been'," Tyre laughed. "In our history, Siren has had a lot of dealing with land races, although that was a long time ago."
"Those land civilizations that have established diplomatic relations with you..." Gao Wen spoke subconsciously, but soon he shook his head, "Forget it, we'd better not discuss this issue."
"Yes, we'd better not discuss this - but if we have the chance in the future, we Siren would welcome you to visit Anta Vien and invite you to visit the ancient relics we have collected in the secret library of the Abyss," Tyr said to Gowen with a smile. "You are a very... special human being. In my opinion, your understanding of the world is not even like a human, but like some kind of... an "existent being" similar to us or a dragon. You may be able to understand some of the things we have experienced."
"Then I will be looking forward to it," Gao Wen said with a smile immediately, and then he looked behind Tyre again, and couldn't help but feel curious. "At that time, I rarely see you maintaining human form for a long time. Is it more convenient to maintain human form during the meeting and communicate with representatives from various countries?"
"No," Tyre said as he pointed at the six shadow clones behind him, "Didn't I cut my tail and made six of these things..."
Gao Wen: "…can this be like this?!"
"Actually, just cutting the tail is not enough. I also made some water from the nearby clouds," Tyr explained seriously. "The reason why the body's water is needed is to facilitate the control of these split bodies, and the body's water is not enough, so we need to draw water from the surrounding environment - we Siren have always been a very reasonable race..."
Gao Wen: "…"
He suddenly felt that he could not look directly at the word "reasonable".
Fortunately, the increasingly strange topic did not continue. When Tyre was about to continue to explain to Gao Wen and Amber what "reasonable in the worldview of Siren" meant, a pleasant buzz suddenly came into their ears, and a "interactive device" placed on the edge of the deck flashed with rhythmic light.
Gao Wen looked at the silver-white metal cylinder. He saw the projection crystal at the top of the cylinder rise from the groove, and the voice of the master's mind came into his ears: "I received a communication request from the underground fortress of the Deep Blue Well - Ophelia Norton hopes to talk to you."
Gao Wen subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows - it seemed like a busy day today.
But no matter what, it should be easier to chat with that Gondor princess than to discuss "reasonableness in the worldview" with a sirens?
