The UN's Planetary Defense Council is a special department, and the people who knew about its existence are now gone. In all the sources, there is no record of this department. Only after the Prism incident in the United States, in a WikiLeaks document, there were rumors that the Ministry of Intelligence of the United States was monitoring "a certain outer space department of the United Nations".

Li Shaoyang and the Swede Hank got to know each other for a while, and then sat down at the table. Wang Fengyue coughed, the attendants nearby quietly retreated, and several men in suits guarded the door and window, these people were not ordinary security personnel, but cultivators carefully selected by Wang Fengyue from the family, each with cultivation.

From Wang Fengyue's arrangement, it can also be seen that he attaches great importance to this meeting.

Li Shaoyang picked up a cup of tea and took a sip before asking, "Mr. Hank, can you introduce this Planetary Defense Council?" ”

Hank also calmed down at this time, and first praised it: "Mr. Li's French is really good, more fluent than me, I used to be a teaching assistant at the University of Paris German, but the accent is still not as pure as yours." ”

What he said seemed to be idle talk, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to think about how to explain his department to this stranger in China, and the origin of this planetary defense council dates back to 1945, when the United Nations was founded.

So Hank spoke directly from the Yalta Conference in February 1945.

The Yalta Conference was a key meeting between the heads of Roosevelt of the United States, Churchill of Britain and Stalin of the Soviet Union after World War II. The meeting touched on the issue of the handling of Germany and the distribution of interests in the Far East. Then, in his spare time, Roosevelt proposed the creation of an international cooperative organization.

This organization is the United Nations in the future.

At that time, the heads of state of the three countries were most concerned about how to deal with Germany and the issue of land distribution in the Far East. However, Stalin was very interested in this proposal of the United Nations, and he took time out to talk secretly with Roosevelt for half an hour, and what the two sides were talking about is now impossible to verify, but it can be said that after this secret talk, the establishment of the United Nations was put on the agenda.

When the three giants were discussing the functions and important departments of the United Nations, President Roosevelt suddenly interjected: "I think we can establish a department to defend against alien civilizations, a department that can unite the forces of various countries to fight together when alien civilizations invade the earth." ”

At such an important meeting to divide the spoils, such a strange idea was suddenly brought up, and the others really did not understand what Roosevelt meant. But Stalin and Churchill were no ordinary people, and they immediately agreed. And all three decided to establish this department in secret.

……

Li Shaoyang interrupted Hank's words when he heard this: "Do you have evidence?" It sounds like a third-rate tabloid serialized story. ”

Hank smiled bitterly: "I also saw this in the department's declassified documents, when the three of them were talking about this matter in a secret environment, neither recorded nor recorded, and after the 90s, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, none of them admitted it." ”

Li Shaoyang nodded slightly: "But your department does exist in the United Nations, which is a bit interesting." ”

As everyone knows, the United Nations has a well-known department called the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. Today, 117 countries, including China, have participated in the committee, which has formulated a peace agreement on the development of outer space by mankind, including important documents such as the global conquest of outer space territories.

Compared to this committee, Hank's Planetary Defense Council is a bit weaker, and he is the only one in the entire department, serving as a clerk and secretary general, and he is not invited to every internal meeting of the United Nations. The Department is also the least funded by the United Nations.

But there is one thing worth noting, even if this department is so weak, the United Nations has never cut it, and every year it gives funds and leaves a staff, so Hank can now come to China to find Li Shaoyang in the capacity of the secretary general of a certain United Nations department.

Thinking of this, Li Shaoyang couldn't help but realize something: "Mr. Hank, your department used to be garbage, but now it's different, all countries have seen the invasion of aliens, the legendary doomsday crisis has become a reality, and you are now a hot character." ”

Hank is not shy about this: "After the meteor incident, an unexpected gain of the United Nations Environment Department was to intercept the meteor data map, and then the USB flash drive with the data fell into the hands of your country, three days ago, at the closed-door meeting of the United Nations summit, your country shared the data with other countries, and I also participated in the meeting at that time." ”

Recalling that meeting, Hank is still full of emotion: "Never before have human nations been so united and swift, and several leaders have decided to restart the planetary defense program......"

Li Shaoyang shook his head: "The term planetary defense is no longer appropriate, aliens have entered the interior of the earth, what else to defend." ”

Hank wiped his sweat: "You're right, the world still looks quiet now, but aliens have lurked into our crowd, so it's important for us to quickly establish an effective organization."

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "To this end, countries will establish a global combat department based on their new rapid reaction force, and this department will be managed by the Planetary Defense Council......"

Li Shaoyang trembled with excitement when he heard his voice, and he also understood the excitement of being a cold bench for many years and suddenly becoming the center of power overnight. But "management" and "leadership" are two different concepts. The reason why countries have pushed out the Planetary Council is nothing more than that, they want to use the Planetary Council as a puppet, as a nominal leadership organization.

This is because the distribution of power in various countries is very uneven, in international affairs, the United States is dominant, occupying 70% of the world's right to speak, and Europe is the clown who follows behind the United States, waving the flag and shouting there. Due to the decline in Russia's comprehensive national strength, its international influence is now only about 15 percent, and 10 percent of its voice is still in China, the hegemon in Asia. In the end, the remaining five percent of the right to speak is controlled by ****.

In this environment, once a global armed organization is established, countries will naturally have to conduct rounds of negotiations, but reality does not allow them to weigh the distribution of interests, so the department of the Planetary Defense Council has been pushed out.

First of all, this department is a subordinate department of the United Nations and has a clear international banner, and secondly, this department is very weak, and countries have ample time and energy here to carry out follow-up interest negotiations.

After Li Shaoyang sorted these things out, his mind immediately became active, no matter whether this department was a puppet or not, after all, it was a nominal global organization, he looked at Hanke: "Then you came to me this time, what do you need, if your department needs sponsorship, I can come up with 100 million US dollars, ask for people, ask for money." ”

Hank was stunned for a moment, but said in a deep voice: "You misunderstood, I didn't come this time to sponsor." I'd like to ask you to come forward and run for the position of President of the Planetary Defense Council. ”

What the! Li Shaoyang suspected that he had misheard: "You want to ask me to compete for the leader of this department?" ”

Hank nodded very seriously and repeated again: "It's the president of the council, that is, the executive chairman, unlike other departments, this is an appointment with no time limit. ”

……

After arranging for Hank to rest temporarily in the hotel, Li Shaoyang and Wang Fengyue stood in front of the window, both wordlessly looking at the busy street below.

Wang Fengyue smiled slightly: "Hank, this person, is the kind of personality that is very simple and persistent, he really started from the interests of all mankind and abandoned the game of state and politics, so he worked hard to find it." ”

Li Shaoyang doubted: "Why did he look for me, and how did he know my ability?" ”

Wang Fengyue glanced at him: "At the closed-door meeting of the United Nations summit level, it was our Wang family who 'leaked' some of your information. ”

His tone deepened: "Now is not the time to sit in the back and keep a low profile, the Planetary Defense Council must be taken." ”

Wang Fengyue quickly explained: "Now our country's comprehensive strength is not enough to wrestle with the United States, if according to the previous process, in the end, this global armed organization will still be controlled by Europe and the United States, but if it is put to the United Nations to deal with, then we have an advantage, after all, our China has a wide network in the United Nations, a strong relationship, and a good reputation, this is our opportunity." ”

Li Shaoyang didn't speak.

Wang Fengyue said slowly: "Hank knew that you really fought against aliens, and you won a big victory, so he decided to elect you as a candidate." ”

Li Shaoyang immediately asked, "How many other candidates are there?" ”

"South Africa's most famous fighter for democracy, former director of the Russian Space Agency, and a veteran of the three dynasties of the National Space Agency of the United States...... Princess Aikako of the Toei Imperial Family......"

Li Shaoyang heaved: "What are you talking about, princess of the Dongying royal family?" She's also a candidate? ”

Wang Fengyue smiled: "Yes, everyone sounds very surprised, I didn't expect this royal princess to become a candidate at all, but ah, in the ranking of candidates, people are still ahead of you, and you are the last alternate." ”

It turned out to be an alternate candidate......

Li Shaoyang was speechless for a while: "Feelings are a spare tire, so what are you playing." ”

Wang Fengyue could only scratch her head: "We still have diplomatic means, and all the five permanent members of the United Nations must agree before this candidate can take the position." ”

Li Shaoyang looked at him: "Okay, you give me the candidate's information, and then tell the above, how about I handle this matter?" ”

"Done!" Wang Fengyue patted him on the shoulder: "I'm just waiting for the good news that you will become the chairman, big brother." ”

This is the difference between Wang Fengyue and Wang Shan, if it is Wang Shan, it is inevitable to hesitate and report to the above, but Wang Fengyue's first reaction is excitement, and she can't wait to go to the United Nations with Li Shaoyang to make a big fuss.

Li Shaoyang smiled secretly in his heart: "This is simply a God-given opportunity, this chairman, I have made it." ”
