The father and daughter felt only boundless anger deep within their hearts.
Even though they were once considered one of those people.
Professor Brand was so angry that he was trembling uncontrollably in his chair, coughing incessantly until he almost coughed up blood.
But that's not the main event yet; there's something even more exciting coming up.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't visit many places in the past few days, but the other branches visited far more places, practically getting to know everyone in North America society.
From the drone footage of other branches, one can see not only the hellish scenes in the desert, but also dilapidated cities, and more importantly, the living conditions of the upper class in North America.
Villas, swimming pools, barbecue parties, yachts, hunting parks...
In the footage, the game in the hunting park included not only livestock fed with corn, but also wild beasts fed by starving people!
Those arrogant "people" drove bulletproof jeeps, holding hunting rifles and laughing loudly in the hunting park.
In these people's lives, there is almost nothing that is different from before the apocalypse.
Perhaps the only difference is that they openly included humans on their hunting list.
The meeting room was completely silent.
Only Zhang Tianyuan's voice came through the Horn.
"The vote will now begin."
According to the new charter, there are currently six timelines besides the Interstellar Spacetime. Each timeline has three branches with voting rights, and the six branches also have separate voting rights.
In addition to the voting rights of the Mutual Aid Society headquarters, there are 25 representatives in the first round of voting alone.
In addition, there are currently two branches of the Interstellar Spacetime Association.
In other words, the new charter needs all 27 votes to be adopted.
As other branches of the Interstellar Spacetime are established one after another, this number will continue to rise.
Let's not worry about what happens next.
At least for now, it doesn't seem difficult to implement the new bylaws.
Less than a minute after Zhang Tianyuan finished speaking, 20 green lights lit up in a flash, and within two minutes, 6 of the remaining 7 green lights lit up again.
Only one vote in favor remains.
Professor Brand held the button in his hand.
After some internal struggle, I resolutely pressed the green button.
It passed unanimously!
Zhang Tianyuan said, "According to the rules..."
"The relevant matters in No. 7 Spacetime will now be taken over by the Response Bureau."
The meeting has adjourned.
Zhang Tianyuan returned to the headquarters of the Response Bureau, which was temporarily set up at the Interstellar Spacetime Aerospace Base.
Instructor Yin and others were already waiting here, as were Professor Brand and his daughter.
Although they were not from the Response Bureau, as representatives of the North America Branch, they were considered parties involved and therefore qualified to be present.
"What should we do next?" Wu Yisi asked first.
The Response Bureau is a new organization, and everyone involved is a novice. Although there are regulations, they can only serve as a guideline; the specific details of the operation still depend on their own efforts.
"Let's determine the response level first," Zhang Tianyuan said.
Response levels from one to three.
Level 1 only provides aid to starving people; how things develop afterward depends on their own choices.
Level 2 allows for actions against government entities other than military operations.
Level three completely removes all restrictions...
Instructor Yin raised his hand and said, "Judging from the current situation, a Level II response probably won't be effective."
"Indeed," Wu Yisi agreed, "Level 2 response mainly relies on economic sanctions, blockades, and embargoes, but given the current situation, these measures have become completely ineffective."
In this era, with international trade virtually nonexistent, engaging in these practices is naturally pointless.
The petite Mie Juan, resting her chin on her hand, asked, "So, our only option is Level 1 response?"
Everyone tacitly avoided mentioning the Level 3 response.
Everyone knew that was the last resort.
"Then let's set it to Level 1 response. Although there aren't many options, we can provide aid to the starving people openly and reasonably, and that's enough."
Zhang Tianyuan slammed the board down.
"Are we going to give food aid to those starving people?" Mie Juan asked.
Amelia looked at Zhang Tianyuan, her eyes filled with anticipation.
However, Zhang Tianyuan immediately and firmly shook his head: Xxs-②
"No, food aid is out of the question!"
Of course, considering that Brand and his daughter were also present, he added two more explanations, "It's like this, our Mutual Aid Society is also short of food supplies right now, and it's impossible for us to provide enough food for tens of millions of people."
Professor Brand patted his daughter, offering her a silent reassurance, before speaking:
"I understand your actions, Mr. Chairman."
Please continue. I believe you.
Amelia froze, finally able to lower her head and sigh inwardly.
She also understood that providing food for tens of millions of people was not something that could be done so easily.
Zhang Tianyuan coughed twice and spoke very frankly.
"We simply cannot provide enough food for tens of millions of people right now, and even if we could, we would not be able to provide it."
"Our Mutual Aid Society has always encouraged self-reliance and independence with appropriate assistance, and we neither want to become anyone's babysitter."
"Therefore, we believe that the problem of these starving people should be solved by your government. The cost should ultimately come from the people themselves, so the food for the starving people should naturally be provided by your government. The Mutual Aid Society cannot assume the obligation to help your government feed the starving people."
"You've heard the investigation report from the meeting. The food reserves in North America are enough to sustain your entire population for at least three to five years. It's not that we can't afford to feed those starving people; it's just that you don't see them as valuable, so you don't want to waste resources on them and choose not to feed them."
"You want us to feed tens of millions of starving people ourselves?" Amelia paused, "But we haven't received a single reply to the messages we sent back home..."
In recent days, the messages sent to North America have gone beyond mere greetings; they have gradually transformed into demands for solutions to the famine problem, an immediate end to the persecution of the starving, and the opening of food warehouses to the starving.
Just like before, there was no response.
How can you expect their officials to provide food for the starving people when they are completely unwilling to communicate?
Zhang Tianyuan's tone turned cold. "Then it depends on our aid. We won't conduct direct military operations under Level 1 emergency response, but we can help those starving people by letting them personally enter the granaries and take their share of food back with their own hands."
Amelia paused for a moment, then remembered that the new regulations did not specify any restrictions on aid supplies for a Level 1 response.
In theory, the Mutual Aid Society could directly provide weapons aid to those starving people?!
