Chapter 1577

The discussion on the construction plan and Penglai project is not only in the coffee shop of Jinling University, but also in every corner of the world. When Pan Asia News released the news, it immediately triggered a huge response in the international arena.

Even the distant colonies of Mars can hear the words "Penglai City" or "Jianmu" from people's voices.

New London.

In a trendy and cyberpunk bar, a man with a metallic arm folded the holographic screen in his hand, grabbed the glass with his right hand, took a sip of the ominous green cocktail, burped and murmured.

"Pan Asian cooperation plans to build cities in the Pacific Ocean? What are the Asians thinking? "

Sitting next to him, a man dressed in the same way looks not very serious, slowly inserted a sentence.

"What do you think? Isn't it obvious? They plan to build the space elevator on the Pacific Ocean, and by the way build a city under the space elevator to turn the Pacific Ocean into their back garden

"Without this Penglai City, isn't it? Now the whole Earth Moon system is their back garden, more than the Pacific Ocean? "

"That's right..."

"Anyway, it's a violation of international conventions!" At this time, a deafening roar came from nearby. A drunk man with a red nose said rudely, "the territorial sea of the Pacific Ocean belongs to all mankind. How dare they do this!"

At this time, the bartender standing at the back of the bar slapped the shaken cocktail on the bar, and then gently pushed it in front of a guest.

Looking at the red faced guests, he said casually.

"Let them go. Anyway, the Pacific Ocean is 180 thousand miles away from London, and tens of millions of kilometers away from New London. Even if they drain the Pacific Ocean, it has nothing to do with us."

This is the most real idea in his heart, and also the idea of the vast majority of people in this bar.

Anyway, it's too far away from the earth.

What's more, even if they don't like it?

The first Pan Asian fleet is known as the star ship battle group established with the alien civilization as the imaginary enemy. Up to now, even the star ships of other regional alliance can not compare with the total tonnage and combat effectiveness of this "invincible fleet".

As a rising star in the era of space navigation, the North Sea alliance, let alone. We have to rely on the strategy of turning a blind eye to the air thieves and smuggling trade to divide the space trade share of Pan Asian cooperation hands. They even have no ability to compare on the same heavyweight. Even their own space port, the Atlantis space station, was built by East Asia heavy industry.

How can they resist such hegemony?

Whether they are really for the common destiny of mankind or for their own selfish desires, this matter is not something they can control by their own will

It's not just the idle people in a small bar between the new London streets, far away from the North American League Headquarters on earth, who are also worried about "the problem that they can't do anything about".

While Pan Asian cooperation took the initiative in public opinion to build momentum for the space elevator program, its senior management also sent invitations for diplomatic meetings to other regional alliances and regimes on the earth through diplomatic channels.

As for the content of the meeting -

naturally, it is related to the space elevator and the city in the Pacific Ocean.

To be honest, President Doran kamir's face was full of surprises when he heard that Pan Asian cooperation had made such a decision. He has been president of the North American Alliance for about six years, and he is familiar with the cooperation with Pan Asia.

Generally speaking, those pan Asians are quite moderate in their diplomatic positions, and they will communicate with other regional alliances in a consultative manner no matter what.

But this time, it's not the same as usual.

It wasn't until the director announced plans to build a space elevator at the celebration of ignition day that they realized that the Asians were going to put a pipe in the atmosphere, and the name of the pipe was "Jianmu".

Looking back on the events of his tenure, President Doran Camille fell into deep thought.

When did it all start?

And

What does that Jianmu mean?

"Wood building plan" Put down the invitation letter about diplomatic meeting in his hand, President Camille looked at his chief of staff, frowned and asked, "what is that building wood?"

The chief of staff hesitated and said.

"It is said to be a ladder connecting heaven and earth in ancient Chinese mythology."

"Similar to Babel Tower?"

"Almost But it is not a tower, but a sacred tree worshipped by the ancestors"It doesn't matter to study this kind of thing at all," said the secretary general standing next to him, coughing heavily, interrupting the irrelevant conversation between the two, looking at the chairman sitting at the back of his desk, in a serious tone. "Mr. chairman, what we need to discuss now is how to deal with the invitation of this diplomatic meeting."

According to the current international law, the Pan Asian cooperation plan to build a large-scale project in the Pacific Ocean is untenable in legal theory. In principle, they do not need to accept such diplomatic meetings at all, to negotiate for something they cannot accept at all.

On the contrary, if they accept such an invitation, it is equivalent to sending a signal.

That is, there is room for negotiation.

"How to deal with it? My attitude, of course, is against it. The Pacific Ocean is the high seas. No matter whether it is a country or a regional alliance, if they are allowed to build a lot there today, they will dare to include that area in the exclusive economic zone tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will dare to declare their sovereignty there But the question is, is there a better option? "

The index finger tapped on the desk, looking at the secretary general, who was in silence. Director Camille sighed and continued.

"In fact, from the very beginning, we had no choice."

The Secretary General looked at him with a dignified look and continued.

"Not necessarily, if we can diplomatically unite the South American Union, the North Sea Union, and the Ibero French Union --"

"and then our starships add up to only a fraction of the first Pan Asian fleet," interrupted the secretary general, who continued with a wry smile, "do you really think that if we put up a clear refusal Will they give up the plan? "

There was silence in the office.

Director Camille sighed a little, drew the invitation letter of the diplomatic meeting on the holographic screen into the memo, then leaned back on the office chair with a light touch on the closed button.

To be honest, compared with the Pan Asian cooperation in the Pacific, he is not worried about the impact of space elevator on the international pattern, strategic balance, or ecological environment.

After all, the hegemony of Pan Asian cooperation has been established as early as the 1950s, and it has been running steadily for more than half a century. One more space elevator will not fundamentally change anything.

What really worried him was another thing.

Although the possibility of military conflict in the 22nd century is very small, it is all based on the current diplomatic norms of "pacifism and non-interference" in Pan Asian cooperation. Even with the largest starship battle group, it has never been considered to invest in the invasion of other regional alliances.

However, since Lee Kuan yah took office as president of the board of directors, some of the feared things seem to be quietly released.

Camille couldn't clearly describe what it was, but he knew one thing.

Once those people choose to cross the border, the whole world will tremble for it.

There is no doubt that
