The Joint Fleet's docking in California caused a sensation throughout the entire Rampage Spacetime.
This is quite different from yesterday's stealthy appearance off the coast of New York. This time, the entire process of the fleet's arrival in California, under Connor's command, was an organized and planned propaganda campaign targeting all of North America and the world.
Moreover, it also has live television and internet broadcasts, and even live radio broadcasts.
If they're lucky, the refugees in the Australia wasteland might even be able to receive radio signals.
It can be said that, under Connor's management, this became a global event.
This matter was also beyond Zhang Tianyuan's expectations.
He never expected that he would encounter someone who was hitching a ride on an aircraft carrier in this time and space...
And didn't they come with a deterrent purpose in the first place?
How did Connor manage to turn this into a happy occasion?
Of course, the results achieved by this approach are also remarkable.
The Mutual Aid Society quickly established its image.
Connor's carefree, beaming smile on the deck of the Joint Fleet aircraft carrier is the best example of this.
If they can make someone like Connor so happy, how could the Mutual Aid Society be a bad group?
At this time, people all over the world were extremely interested in Connor's experience on the aircraft carrier.
Countries around the world were equally eager for the Joint Fleet's visit, and they were just as curious as anyone else about why Connor was smiling so happily.
Therefore, the arrangements for the Joint Fleet's visit were subsequently initiated at an extremely rapid pace.
From discussing the location of the visit to the timing of the visit and various reception arrangements, the entire process was completed smoothly and efficiently without any delays.
Less than three hours after President Zhang arrived in California, the Joint Fleet had already traveled through Spacetime Tunnel to visit various countries in Eurasia.
This is true speed!
Following Connor's example in California, these visiting fleets received exceptionally high treatment and protocol.
The harbor was packed with people, and cheers and flowers were just the basics.
The fleets that had just received gifts from Connor were suddenly stuffed with a large number of gifts and supplies, especially some oil-producing countries, which wished they could drain all the oil that Connor Jinjun' fuel tanks and then add their own oil in.
While enjoying the cheers in California, Connor, upon hearing about the treatment of these fleets, immediately ordered that gifts and supplies be distributed again to the Joint Fleet remaining in North America!
Send two copies!
We absolutely cannot let our good friends who stayed in North America receive less than others!
Under this mindset, a supply race quickly broke out between countries, with each country competing to see who could provide more and better supplies.
This left President Zhang and the Joint Fleet somewhat speechless.
In the end, it was only after the four timelines that formed the Joint Fleet issued a clear order to stop accepting any gifts or supplies that this unhealthy trend was finally put to rest.
However, by this time, the fleets had nowhere else to receive gifts or supplies.
The warehouses are completely full!
They were even piled up in the corridors inside the warship, severely impacting daily operations.
In the end, the Joint Fleet collected all the surplus supplies and donated them to certain time periods and regions that were relatively resource-scarce, thus avoiding a great deal of waste.
Judging from the attitudes of countries around the world, one can imagine how smoothly the Joint Fleet's work has been going during this period.
Connor at least hesitated and struggled for a moment.
These newly visited countries, however, showed no signs of inner struggle; they almost unconditionally supported all the ideas put forward by the Mutual Aid Society.
Mutual help?
good!
With united will, we can overcome any obstacle.
That's wonderful!
Love the people?
It's my duty!
Are they responsible and capable?
That's exactly who we are!
This incredibly cooperative attitude left even the Mutual Aid Society members on the Joint Fleet completely bewildered...
I've been doing publicity for so long, and I've never encountered such cooperation in any time or place.
Is this the power of the Joint Fleet?
Some people are already thinking about whether they should suggest that President Zhang take this Joint Fleet out for a spin whenever he arrives in the new timeline to carry out his work.
Of course, these people may say one thing, but if you actually believe them, you've fallen into their trap.
Each member was informed about the current state of the Mutual Aid Society, the obligations and responsibilities they might have after joining, and the corresponding rights.
Whether countries can join the Mutual Aid Society is not something they can decide.
Even Zhang Tianyuan found it difficult to make a decision on this matter.
Simply put, the situation in this spacetime is very complex.
This also sparked extensive discussions within the Mutual Aid Society.
Compared to natural and man-made disasters in other timelines, natural disasters in this timeline are not obvious; resources are depleted, but not completely depleted.
More often than not, it's a man-made disaster.
The root cause of both major riots actually stemmed from human greed and the unspoken rule of the survival of the fittest in human society.
This has led to the fact that most countries that are currently able to live peaceful lives have absolutely no clean past.
This is especially true of certain countries that actively allow mushrooms to leak out, indirectly or even directly promoting mushroom cultivation competitions.
This caused massive nuclear contamination.
Life was already difficult enough, but in some places, water sources and soil were targeted by the enemy, causing even more serious nuclear contamination.
For example, a continent that has become a wasteland in a movie has not seen the nuclear pollution dissipate in the past two decades; in fact, it has increased, causing the former oases to disappear.
Behind this are tens of millions of lives lost along with it.
This must be a criminal act.
Therefore, some people believe that countries like this should not join Mutual Aid Society.
However, some argue that this situation does not fall under the jurisdiction of Mutual Aid Society, since war and plunder are already commonplace in human society.
This behavior is indeed unjust.
Whether these countries played a righteous role in this matter is actually irrelevant to the Mutual Aid Society organization, which is detached from time and space.
Since its inception, the Mutual Aid Society has maintained a very clear stance: to prevent and mitigate disasters and to save people from calamities.
Therefore, the Mutual Aid Society doesn't need to get involved in these man-made wars and riots; let the people of their own timeline handle them themselves.
The Mutual Aid Society handled things the same way before. Most of the survivors in North America in the Finch Spacetime had committed sins, but the Mutual Aid Society never personally tried any of them; they were all left to Jack to redeem.
Because this is not within the jurisdiction of the Mutual Aid Society.
The people in Grant's the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime were refused entry into the Mutual Aid Society because of their special circumstances and passive approach to disaster relief.
This obviously didn't happen in the Rampage Spacetime; in fact, the situation was much better than in North America in the Interstellar Spacetime.
At least it wasn't so inhumane as to force tens of millions of people to the desert to fend for themselves, was it?
Based on this viewpoint, some argue that the nations of the Rampage Spacetime are qualified to become members of the Mutual Aid Society.
However, some people immediately argued that this viewpoint was legal and reasonable, but not emotional.
Most of the turmoil in the Rampage Spacetime is caused by forces that recklessly cultivate mushrooms in resource-rich areas; the severity of this conflict is rare in all timelines.
Now, to include these perpetrators in the association is contrary to the very essence of the Mutual Aid Society's mission...
This is a debate.
The debate wasn't just taking place at headquarters; it was also happening between various branches and even lower-level chapters.
Thanks to the increasingly developed spacetime network, the Mutual Aid Society Association is now even more lively than it was after the 100 million people incident in the Day the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime.
Aside from certain timelines that were still unsettled and facing resource crises, the Mutual Aid Society Association was engaged in extensive discussions about this matter in the relatively stable timelines.
After a meal, people often want to express their opinions.
Zhang Tianyuan had no objection to this.
He can't possibly have any objections to what people are saying.
Moreover, this kind of debate is healthy, which is fundamentally different from the friendly exchanges that usually take things out of context and label people after both sides state their views on the internet, or start using vulgar language like "yyg", "cnm", "cnnn", "rnxrbb", and "wcnmlgb".
Connor was unaware that they had already caused a great upheaval within the Mutual Aid Society.
If he knew about this, he probably wouldn't have disembarked with a smile.
Yes, after spending five days on the aircraft carrier, the Joint Fleet's command ship also spent four days in California.
Seeing that President Zhang's gaze was becoming increasingly annoyed, Connor chose a good opportunity and, just before the line was drawn, took the initiative to suggest that he was going to disembark.
So, half an hour after Connor proposed the idea, they were all escorted off the ship along with their luggage.
Although I was a little surprised.
But Connor still smiled and waved to the people who were welcoming him on the shore. Beside him, the old gentleman Lewis had already applied hair gel and his hands were habitually posed in a disco rhythm.
After Connor disembarked, the command ship quickly left the port, re-entered the Spacetime Tunnel, and headed towards other visiting areas.
Having spent so much time in North America, it's only natural to visit other places as a matter of etiquette; otherwise, it would seem like I'm neglecting other areas.
Him.
After the command ship left California, it roamed between continents for a week before the Joint Fleet's visit to the Rampage Spacetime officially ended.
But for the Mutual Aid Society, the work in the Rampage Spacetime has only just begun.
After leaving the Joint Fleet, Zhang Tianyuan went to the Mutual Aid Society's office in the Rampage Spacetime, which was provided by Meng Anping.
Meanwhile, various forces that intended to join the Mutual Aid Society and integrate into its Mutual Aid Society and trade system had already received the news.
According to the list submitted by the staff, apart from Oceania, the highest-level delegations from most countries rushed here day and night.
Zhang Tianyuan did not meet with any visiting delegations.
The main reason is that the internal debate within the Mutual Aid Society has reached a fever pitch. After all, President Zhang is a public and core figure within the Mutual Aid Society, and his every move may cause a chain reaction in the headquarters and various branches.
It will most likely be interpreted as some kind of statement.
Of course, his refusal to meet could also be interpreted as a statement...
This kind of thing is troublesome, but unavoidable; it will inevitably happen to every large organization.
Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan only did one thing during this period.
That is, to work with headquarters staff to conduct spot checks on the disaster relief and assistance work being carried out in various branches and sub-branches.
He investigates the branch that shouts the loudest.
Although Zhang Tianyuan does not interfere with the internal affairs of different timelines or branches, he still has the right to supervise the disaster relief work within the Mutual Aid Society.
Even for matters they have no authority to oversee, as long as they don't cross the line, the various branches usually have no choice but to give him face.
What else can we do?
Do we still need Spacetime Tunnel?
Therefore, President Zhang was very happy to investigate each branch.
What's the point of being good at verbal battles?
We need to get real work done!
Of course, if they can engage in verbal battles while simultaneously getting things done, President Zhang has no objection.
The Mutual Aid Society's system has become increasingly mature. Each branch and sub-association is assigned certain assistance and reconstruction tasks according to their capabilities, such as helping with geological surveys in the Finch Spacetime and conducting feasibility studies for underground bases.
Of course, these tasks are assigned according to one's capabilities.
Member states that receive aid missions are generally able to recoup the cost of the aid through trade and economic activities.
Rather than aid, this is more like a balancing measure to address the economic and trade disparities across time and space.
The inspection continued until the delegation from the Rampage Spacetime had assembled.
At this point, the major debate within the Mutual Aid Society also yielded a view that was barely acceptable to both sides.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan also felt it was relatively reasonable, so he simply hosted the various visiting groups in the name of the Mutual Aid Society.
At the reception, President Zhang only made a brief appearance; the rest of the reception was handled by Instructor Yin, who also gave the introduction to the Mutual Aid Society while wearing a wig.
Similarly, Meng Anping, Connor, and a man named Ski also made only one appearance before disappearing from the reception.
The four missing people reunited in a small conference room.
Apart from Zhang Tianyuan and a few staff members from the Mutual Aid Society headquarters, the other three came alone.
Even the translation was done through the real-time translation headset from the Wandering Spacetime service.
Connor and Ski were the two most uneasy of the three.
While waiting, the two would occasionally exchange glances, first feeling a sense of shared misfortune, then glaring at each other angrily.
They are both enemies and friends.
The reasons for the enemy are self-evident.
They are considered friends because they both want to join the Mutual Aid Society.
They had previously made a secret promise to give up their overseas interests in the future.
The purpose, of course, is to Mutual Aid Society.
However, things don't seem to be going very smoothly...
They've all made their statements for so long, but President Zhang still hasn't made a move.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Meng Anping again.
Dude, are your connections any good?
They initially agreed to give up their overseas interests only because they were misled by Meng Anping.
Why hasn't the Mutual Aid Society accepted them yet?
Meng Anping remained calm and composed, seemingly oblivious to the questioning look in their eyes.
He was aware of the internal debate within the Mutual Aid Society, but he hadn't told the two of them.
Whether those two guys can join the Mutual Aid Society or not is none of his business. Given the past and present situation, don't expect him to have a good relationship with Connor and Ski.
It would be even better for him if neither side could join the Mutual Aid Society.
Because he has successfully joined the Mutual Aid Society!
