In the conference room.
Zhang Tianyuan sat at the table, with a series of documents in front of him. On his left and right sat the presidents of the seven Mutual Aid Society that had been established or were about to be established.
There is also Ke Jinjun, the commander-in-chief stationed in No. 0 Spacetime.
This is a meeting across time and space.
The meeting's topic was "How should the Mutual Aid Society respond when faced with exceptionally severe disasters, and when official agencies in various timelines fail to act or act maliciously?"
After North America in the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime displayed an extremely uncooperative attitude, this issue began to arise within the Mutual Aid Society.
About three months ago, after the North America tragedy that will surely be recorded in the history of the Mutual Aid Society and in the general history of various times and places, the topic reached its peak of popularity and has not declined since.
At least 100 million people froze to death in that superstorm that swept across North America.
Even though the Mutual Aid Society's rescue teams and the North America National Guard rescued some people later, the figure of one hundred million was only reduced by a negligible amount.
The casualty figures were absurd enough, but what's even more absurd is that North America received an advance warning from the Mutual Aid Society, Carl, the vice president of the North America Branch No. 1 Spacetime, simply stayed in Washington, yet he couldn't get Becker to take even the slightest action...
Even though Becker and his boss later died mysteriously in the storm, a hundred million lives were gone forever.
Now, discussions about this tragedy are no longer limited to the Mutual Aid Society society.
In more stable timelines, such as 2012, Legend, and Pacific Rim, this issue has already caused a huge uproar.
Even those in the Wandering Spacetime who were used to sacrifices, where a single death used to wipe out half the underground city, were generally shocked by this tragedy.
Few people could understand Becker's thought process at the time.
Some even believe that Mutual Aid Society, whose purpose is to save lives, failed to play their proper role in the process, and that even war should have been used to prevent the tragedy from happening.
All fingers were pointed at them.
This claim is unfounded, and both the Mutual Aid Society headquarters and its various branches, especially Carl himself, must protest its innocence.
In the time-limited the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime
Given the circumstances, it's already quite an achievement that they were able to do a good job of disaster prevention in so many regions and countries outside of North America.
However, in this process, the Mutual Aid Society also has to prepare for a super war that could very well escalate into a nuclear war?
So, will we still carry out disaster prevention work?
When the storm comes, let the entire Northern Hemisphere be hit by Typhoon carrying radioactive material.
In short, all those who experienced it firsthand know that the situation in the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime timeline had reached the limit of the Mutual Aid Society's capabilities.
Becker and his group weren't cooperating, and there was nothing anyone could do.
That's the logic.
But there's nothing we can do.
Respect for the deceased is paramount.
In the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime, over 100 million people died in the storm in North America. Even though this number has been greatly reduced with the help of Mutual Aid Society, it is still too high.
It's like someone insisting on setting off firecrackers in a latrine, causing excrement to fly everywhere. No matter how well the firefighters who come to put out the fire do, they'll still smell a bit.
Especially now that Interstellar Spacetime seems to have become even more absurd...
They actively drove away or even slaughtered their own starving people.
This is something no normal person could do.
The Mutual Aid Society had to develop several new articles of association specifically to address these situations and adapt to the increasingly perverse conditions in North America.
I don't expect this to never happen again, I only hope that it can be prevented in time in the future. xS12
Of course, within the Mutual Aid Society, this kind of thing is actually quite sensitive, and to some extent it goes against Zhang Tianyuan's previous promise that he would never interfere in the internal affairs of different timelines.
Especially now, the strength of different timelines varies greatly.
This example has caused concern in many branches that other timelines might use this clause to their advantage and take action against them.
For example, the Legend Spacetime has always been very sensitive to the Wandering Spacetime. No matter how Sun Deyi tries to repair the relationship, the two timelines always maintain a lukewarm and formulaic interaction.
Those Radical Migration Faction were yelling and handing out flyers everywhere in the dungeon were really terrifying.
In particular, with the establishment of a spacetime communication channel, Legend Spacetime has gained a deeper understanding and assessment of the changing ideologies within the Wandering Spacetime.
If we let those people who keep yelling in come in, they'll definitely be considered troublemakers.
But the cost of more than 100 million lives
It is heavy.
Even individual branches must carefully consider and make corresponding changes to try their best to salvage the current situation.
Therefore, each branch submitted its proposals to the branch. After being screened, these proposals reached Zhang Tianyuan, and then this time-space conference came about.
Zhang Tianyuan first glanced through the various proposals in his hand, but did not find the name of the North America Branch of the Pacific Rim Spacetime Association among them.
It seems that Taylor ultimately couldn't even get past Ning Jihua.
In the drafting of this new charter, this guy was the most radical. He couldn't wait to recreate the glory of the beginning of the century, put on a few labels and run to other time and space, and beat others half to death with a couple of punches.
Ning Jihua would naturally not release such a plan.
If this is done, the very foundation of the Mutual Aid Society will be destroyed.
However, even after the most radical proposals were ruled out, the process of negotiating the new charter was still extremely difficult.
Each time and space has its own considerations and stances.
Both the Wandering Spacetime and the Pacific Rim Spacetime believe that if a similar situation of the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime were to occur again, the intervention force could be stronger.
Other timelines felt that being too powerful was not a good thing.
Especially Yuan Heguang, a party involved in the Interstellar Spacetime continuum.
He knew that once this new charter was established, it would first be used in his own timeline, so naturally he didn't want a major hidden danger to be buried in his timeline.
The two sides were locked in a tug-of-war, going back and forth. Over the next three days, all the submitted proposals were discussed, and none were unanimously approved, either deemed too lenient or too rigid.
Even Zhang Tianyuan was getting a little tired of driving.
The scene became even more intense, especially in the last two days when diplomatic personnel from various branches joined in.
Of course, the scene was intense, but no real conflict arose.
Each branch office was fully aware of the situation.
Despite the arguments now, when it's time to cooperate, we'll still cooperate.
After all, even the Legend Spacetime approved a few farms for the Wandering Spacetime before, didn't it?
The meeting continued until the fifth day.
The participants listed the advantages of the various proposals presented, and by stepping outside these frameworks, they created a new proposal, which finally calmed the debate.
This is because it's a plan with huge limitations, but also with a lot of room for maneuver...
