Chapter 348: When the President of the United States Becomes the Biggest-Stirring Stick
In the former United Nations Building, now the Earth Federation Building.
"Gentlemen, we are gathered today. I think you all know why. "It's the president of the United States who speaks, and this president is very energetic right now. Because there are still two months to go, his term of office is coming to an end. But he was not sad at all, and was even very happy.
He was happy even when the horse farm he was going to retire had been burned down. Because Katie, the female president of the mutant nation, gave her some of the best ponies they bred in Tuvalu. It is said that it was raised by a girl in their country called Squirrel Girl. Her ability to communicate with animals is that she can raise all kinds of animals that are particularly good.
Tuvalu is currently saving endangered species around the world, with female squirrels playing a major role. She almost single-handedly saved those precious animals in the Amazon rainforest, and also rescued quite a lot of Chinese golden snub-nosed monkeys, etc.
Of course, the President of the United States is not just happy that he has a good batch of ponies that he can rebuild his pony ranch. What makes him happiest is that he may leave a strong mark in history. Because he is likely to be the last president of the United States.
This is not an exaggeration, but a fact that is very likely to happen. Seriously, Mr. President himself could not have imagined that things would go this way. And it's been like this. The state form on Earth is coming to an end, because the world is now moving towards the cosmic age. Even in a few days, a high civilization in the galaxy will come to Earth and announce to Earth that they have joined the Star Alliance.
In the age of the universe, the earth must be treated as a whole. Do you expect those interstellar civilizations that occupy dozens, or even hundreds, of planets to establish diplomatic relations with each and every country on your planet alone? This is impossible! How can people have so much time in the United States!
So the earth must be treated as a whole. When the other side wants to talk about any interstellar diplomacy, it is also talking about the entire earth, and it is impossible to talk about a single country.
In fact, the earth is also a strange thing, because when other civilizations entered the cosmic age, there was basically only one civilized country. And there are now more than 200 countries on the planet. Other civilizations are self-exterminating within a civilization, and after a large country (tribe) annexes a small country (tribe), it concentrates the power of the entire planet to go to the universe.
And the earth is obviously not, and of course the earth can't be. Because there is one more bizarre thing on earth, and that is nuclear weapons. Other cosmic civilizations developed thermonuclear weapons only after the progress of civilization entered the cosmic age. But the Earth invented thermonuclear weapons before entering the cosmic age.
Of course, this is not to say that the development of thermonuclear weapons on Earth is awesome. What is even more important here is that the emergence of thermonuclear weapons will actually hinder the unity of civilizations on the planet. The Covenant has done a survey, and all the civilizations that invented thermonuclear weapons before entering the cosmic age cannot step into the cosmic age. Because before entering the cosmic age, they will destroy themselves in a nuclear war, and they will destroy themselves completely.
If there is no external interference on the earth, most of them will follow this old path. Because in the end, this civilization always has to choose a boss when it goes out of the earth, and most of the time the way to choose the boss is to fight. In the end, everyone was anxious, so let's use thermonuclear weapons to die together.
Therefore, it is indeed rare for the earth to enter the cosmic civilization in the form of many countries now. But no matter how many countries you have, the Star Covenant recognizes it as an earth. So no matter what, everybody has to elect a representative. This is like opening a martial arts conference and must elect a martial arts alliance leader.
It is not necessary to completely integrate the entire planet into one country, but at least to elect a leader who will be in charge. Then the integration of the following countries can be taken step by step, and it will take fifty years and a hundred years to slowly and thoroughly digest it. Because when the time comes, aliens will look at earthlings the same. They don't care if you are an American, Chinese Italian, they all seem to them to be almost the same.
However, it is said that it is to form an alliance of the Earth Federation to work together as a diplomatic processing department for extraterrestrial civilizations. But how is this department going to work? Everybody knows it, because the power of this department will eventually increase. Because dealing with alien civilizations must be theirs.
And the Star Alliance will also pass on to the Earth in the future, some of the scientific and technological knowledge that they are outdated, but are very important to the Earth. This information will definitely have to be handed over by the federal government as well. If it is set to be circulated in any country, it is easy to do, but I am afraid that someone will obstruct it and conceal some technology. That would be a big head.
Although in the long run, the Earth Federation will eventually replace the traditional state system. But from the politicians' point of view, their tenure is still long. It doesn't matter if it's ten or twenty years. At least they want to keep their rights while they are still on stage, and not be overwhelmed by others.
Therefore, although the Earth Federation has been established for so long, it does not actually have a policy and department that can really be used except for a Heavenly Sword Bureau. No one wants to give up their rights.
Except, of course, the President of the United States. Because he only has two months to serve, he is now eager to push for the reform of the Earth Federation to succeed as soon as possible. If you succeed, write a more important stroke for yourself.
Probably because his term of office is approaching, the mentality of the president of the United States has also changed dramatically. A lot of things he didn't want to do before, he now likes to do. Originally, the president of the United States often needed to think about the capital group behind him, but the current president of the United States does not have so much need to think about them.
Because of the earth-shaking changes in the world now, many capital groups that funded him in the past have long been too busy to take care of themselves, and the industry is not up to the transformation of the times. A large number of traditional industries have been eliminated, and a large number of emerging industries have emerged. Therefore, in the months when the president of the United States was about to end his term, he really felt that he was in power. There's no more nasty ghosts behind you.
He doesn't want anything else now, and what he wants now is to leave a name in history. As for what other politicians think of him? Hehe! I'm the president of the United States, do I care?!
So Mr. President knocked on the table with a group of ghostwriters attending the conference: "Gentlemen, don't fall asleep! We must elect a representative today to represent our earth!"
The president of the United States smiled happily, but the representatives of other countries looked ugly. What happens when the president of the world's largest and strongest country is determined to become a-stirring stick?!
