Chapter 97: Secret Meetings No. 96 and 97 Begin (Double Update for Monthly Votes)_2
Bai Ying sat at the head, scanning the audience, and said, “The last three issues are the most important ones we need to discuss this time.”
“The first is about environmental protection and ocean pollution.”
When this issue was mentioned, everyone’s expressions became slightly unnatural. Because everyone present owned nuclear power technology, and some were even testing nuclear weapons, they had all made significant contributions to “protecting” the global environment.
However, being old hands at this, even if someone publicly cursed them, spat at them, or slapped them, they could still greet them with a smile and ask if the other person’s hand hurt.
So, they started discussing this issue seriously.
France was the first to speak: “I think Japan should pay more attention to this issue, as ocean pollution is getting worse, and you should invest more funds in protecting the environment! Environmental organizations are protesting every day, causing us a lot of trouble!”
Japan, having developed a thick skin, directly denied, saying, “We have always been at the forefront of environmental protection!”
Hans disagreed, saying, “Not just Japan, Bai Ying as the big brother, should also play a leading role.”
“We have always been working hard towards this!” Bai Ying said, his face unblushing and heart steady.
Seeing this, Canada stated directly, “Our economy is developed, it doesn’t affect much, but the East, as the largest global manufacturer, is creating the most serious pollution.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Upon hearing this, Japan quickly shifted the blame and hurriedly agreed, “We are also affected! Just a few days ago, I was condemning them!”
“The ocean is humanity’s common property!” UK chimed in, “They should indeed take responsibility!”
These words were practically pointless, as they had each spoken similar sentiments before, but the East countered with, “Your pollution is worse than ours, don’t you realize that?”
Seeing the direction of the discussion, Bai Ying thought it a waste of time.
So he said, “If that’s the case, I plan to donate some money to establish a marine protection research institute.”
This research institute was actually intended for studying mutant species.
After speaking, he glanced at Japan, who quickly responded, “For environmental protection, we will also donate money!”
Canada naturally followed suit, expressing their willingness to donate as well.
The others quickly expressed their willingness to donate. Regarding this issue, they understood the severity.
Donating money was popular opinion, and it would appease the protesting environmental organizations.
“Good, the first issue has been resolved,” Bai Ying said, satisfied that everyone was cooperative, “let’s move on to the second issue for discussion.”
“Everyone must be aware of the East’s actions over the past year. They have been consuming foreign exchange reserves extensively, stockpiling food, ore, oil, coal, and industrial components globally.”
“We have intelligence that indicates they are planning a secret project. We don’t yet know what it is, but this last year, because of this project, the East’s technology has made unprecedented progress.”
“Like He Xingzhou and his team, every time they announce news, it involves new technological breakthroughs!”
“Yes, we are all watching!” Everyone nodded with serious expressions, recognizing this as a major issue.
If He Xingzhou knew his name was being mentioned in their discussion, he would probably laugh out loud. These folks were not concerned about the ocean, but still had time to worry about him; in a few years, it would be uncertain whether they could still sit here and hold meetings.
“We think they are trying to emulate the Soviet Union!” Hans was very cautious about this, stating, “Initially, they devoted nationwide efforts to develop technology, creating remarkable results!”
“Now our intelligence shows that the East is doing just the same!”
“Yes, we need to be more vigilant!” Japan was the first to agree.
Bai Ying asked, “Don’t you have any intelligence sharing?”
Everyone shook their heads: “That’s all we know.”
Bai Ying was very dissatisfied, he always wanted to figure out what those people were really up to. But from these “partners,” he also failed to obtain useful information.
He then said, “For the sake of us all, we cannot let them continue like this. Therefore, I propose that as partners, we should share intelligence about this matter in a timely manner and communicate. Does anyone object?”
“No!” Everyone expressed agreement.
“This is as good as saying nothing.” Bai Ying thought to himself, having already realized that some among the partners were not very willing to cooperate, otherwise they would surely have offered some valuable intelligence.
“Then let us proceed to discuss the final issue!” Bai Ying finally brought up the issue that everyone was concerned about.
“The problem of how to deal with the rapid rise of technological power in the East!”
Once this was mentioned, everyone immediately perked up. In fact, this was the issue they most wanted to discuss when they came here this year.
Japan spoke first with a heavy heart, “Our losses have been the heaviest. Last year alone, at least ten thousand related businesses were affected, and our market share in related industries has significantly fallen! Since they started producing domestically, our industrial products have stagnated!”
Hans hurriedly said, “We are the most affected! Everyone knows that industry is almost everything for us, but since they mastered ultra-precise manufacturing technology, our industry has been devastated!”
Canada also quickly spoke up, “Our economy has already started to decline! Because of this!”
Upon hearing this, UK thought to himself, let it escalate, the more intense the better, and he also spoke, “We are all victims, so Bai Ying brother, we came here today to discuss with you how to handle this issue.”
France and Rome agreed throughout.
Seeing this, Bai Ying thought to himself, at last, consensus could be reached.
He was well-prepared, his meeting assistant distributed a document to each person, Bai Ying said: “This contains some related technologies, science and technology, all of which are our strengths and which the East has yet to break through.”
“It involves multiple industries!”
“If we can come together and fully control these industries, this show can continue!”
Everyone was secretly surprised upon seeing the content. The document nearly covered all their own cutting-edge technological areas.
And the control was unprecedented.
These technologies, they had also tightly controlled before. But this time was different, this time Bai Ying meant to use a strategy of hurting themselves heavily to inflict greater damage on the enemy!
Hans hesitated a bit and said, “This will also bring great damage to our own industries, especially now in this era of globalization.”
Japan also hesitated, “Once we implement this task, many of our companies will go bankrupt.”
France looked on and found it even more unacceptable, saying, “It’s one thing to increase the previous intensity slightly, but why is it so much this time?”
UK even questioned, “Why, according to the document, do we have to bear more losses, shouldn’t Bai Ying, as the boss, shoulder more?”
Canada didn’t speak, he was also opposed in his heart, but didn’t dare to say it outright.
Bai Ying said, “All of you are still hoping for the best!”
“This year’s changes, everyone has seen, if we continue this trend, all of you know what the world will be like!”
“I’m not being alarmist, by the time all your high-end technologies are overtaken, the problems you face will be even greater than now!”
“And this plan doesn’t require us to lose too much, although there will be dissatisfaction in the short term, in the long run. This will deliver a huge blow to the entire related industries of the East, and our industries will seize the opportunity to occupy the market!”
“The ultimate outcome will surely satisfy everyone! This is a comprehensive competition agreement, initiating full-scale competition, ultimately there will be only one outcome!”
Bai Ying clenched his fist: “That is to let the leadership in technology return to our hands!”

With subscriptions and monthly tickets, I can write 20,000 words a day; without subscriptions, even 2,000 words a day is hard to squeeze out. I need a reason for additional updates!)
