Awa-ker is on the verge of a rupture. If an all-out war in which victory and defeat must be decided cannot be avoided, the directors will no longer be as harmonious as they used to be because of their respective geographical interests. In the case of protecting their respective interests, Awa-Ker is naturally divided into two camps - the UAC camp and the anti-UAC camp.
Although the UAC camp has a small number of directors, Leonardo holds the financial power of the Awa-ker, which is the economic lifeblood of the organization, and the influence of one person reaches several other directors.
The anti-UAC camp is better because of the large number of directors, and the base of awakened representatives behind it is naturally large. In a future all-out war, New Asia will not be able to break through the siege of Admiral Goering's New Asian Galactic Front, and will have little support for the other two countries, so the new European Union and the Earth Federation will inevitably become the core of the alliance.
Despite the fact that the directors of Awa-Ker have little influence on governments right now, their potential power is very strong. Once there is a convergence of interests with governments, it is easy to influence government decision-making. And at that time, even the core members of NO who found out that they had become UAC pawns will put aside their contradictions and hatred to support Awa-ker.
Don't forget, whether it's a government or a government, the people who are actually in power are the big conglomerates behind it. For businessmen, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Feng Yu counted the directors of the anti-UAC camp headed by Situ Hui, and found that except for the two UAC directors and the three absolutely neutral directors that Edward said, everyone else was basically in this camp.
Although Zhou Wu is weak in New Asia, Situ Hui will definitely pull him in. And Groningen, as a member of the Council of the Earth Federation, although he has given up this country, one of Situ Hui's demands is to protect the interests of the awakened, and if he has something in common, he will inevitably be co-opted.
Leonardo, on the other hand, was in a more passive situation. This time, in any case, it is the UAC federal government that is at fault, especially since the "Awakened Act" directly violates the interests of all awakened people. On this basis alone, it will be difficult for Leonardo to gain the support of the other councilors.
But he is a UAC and cannot sit idly by and watch the other three countries unite to destroy their own country. Judging from the current situation, although New Asia is not able to help, and the combat strength of the Earth Federation Army is weak, it is still the anti-UAC camp that is stronger.
In the New African System, the new EU forces are basically the same as Char Danton's forces, and if the Earth Federation Army falls to the side of the New European Union, the combined forces of the two countries will have an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength and quickly eliminate the UAC's power in the New African System.
With this premise, the two countries could even co-opt the remnants of the new African kingdom, such as by promising them to reclaim the Cape of Good Hope and re-establish themselves after the war. So the UAC on the New African Galaxy side is basically a must-lose.
Then in the strategic location of Taimei WH, the UAC Federation and the Earth Federation are on each side, and it is difficult for both sides to break through the other's defenses. Especially after the alliance between the new European Union and the Earth Federation, it will inevitably mobilize a local fleet from the New European galaxy to come here to support and trap the UAC Federation in the New American system.
At this time, once the war in the New African Galaxy is over, the coalition forces can go to New Asia to defeat Admiral Goering's forces and liberate the military power of the New Asian Republic. At that time, the coalition forces will have the strength to forcibly attack the Taimei wh.
So in Fengyu's opinion, the sooner the all-out war is launched, the smaller the chances of the UAC Federation winning. Conversely, the further back you go, the more successful UAC will be in world domination as the second-generation GMP people become mass-produced and the third- and fourth-generation GMP people grow up.
All Situ Hui and other directors have to do is to push for this war to start as soon as possible in the vote, and Leonardo is definitely against it, and that's the problem.
However, the contradictions between the two sides are not completely irreconcilable, such as asking the UAC to revoke the "Awakened Act" and completely stop and destroy all genetic samples and data of the GMP project. It's just that it's so hard to do that, so hard that both sides don't dare to fantasize about it from the beginning.
And this happens to be Fengyu's personal thoughts and demands.
It was because of Edward's insight into Fengyu's thoughts that he asked him not to forget his original intention and stick to his own opinions. The only person who can save Awa-Ker from the split right now is Fengyu, and his attitude will be the lubricant for both camps. When the time comes, it will depend on how much interest the two sides are willing to give up in order to cooperate with Fengyu.
After Clegg left, Dragowski and Sherlock visited one after another, both to probe for Situ Hui's alliance. When Awa-Ker's headquarters was still on Earth, Fengyu met Sherlock once, and Dragowski stayed in the New European System for a long time, and the two met for the first time. In general, these two and Fengyu are relatively unfamiliar, so it is more convenient to bargain.
In contrast, when Situ Hui moved to the New African Galaxy at the Awa-Ker headquarters, he had a long time with Fengyu and had a relatively harmonious relationship, but there were some things that were not convenient to say.
If Situ Hui came to exchange opinions with Fengyu in a pleasant manner at that time, then these two came to put pressure.
Among them, Dragowsky, who has never met Feng Yu, spoke the most toughly, "The Council now has four seats on the Board of Directors of the Earth Federation and three seats on the New EU Council, and we have more than half of them together." With the addition of Mr. Zuabi, a new African, we already have a two-thirds majority in this vote. In comparison, there are only two seats in the UAC and only two seats in New Asia, so why don't you follow this general trend and simply come to our side. As long as you join our alliance, we will definitely ensure the interests of New Asia! If you don't care about the survival of New Asia, then I have nothing to say. β
Feng Yu understood that this was a negotiation technique, but he didn't like the other party to talk to him with this attitude, "Hasn't Zhou Wu become your ally?" You've got 9 votes in hand, so you're not missing me, are you? I'm stateless now, and I really can't control the country of New Asia. β
In the face of the same tough wind, Dragowski was also helpless and had to soften his tone, "You don't care about New Asia? So what is your attitude? Are you going to turn a blind eye and let the UAC and their GMP people wreak havoc on the entire human world? β
Since the other party had already asked the point, Feng Yu just took this opportunity to convey his general attitude to Situ Hui, "To avoid a world war, no matter which side provokes it first." The Awakened Act must be repealed, and the Awakened are new humans, but not guinea pigs. The GMP project must be halted and the data destroyed, and the UAC government must be monitored. β
The three demands mentioned by Fengyu can be said to be his final clear goal after communicating with the directors in the past two days, and they are also his bottom line. As for how to accomplish these demands, it will depend on what kind of concessions the other directors can make and how much help awa-ker can provide.
As for the outside world, it is basically useless. This is the focus of the existing conflict within Awa-Ker, and the directors of Situ Hui's faction want to make the news public, so that all countries can jointly send troops against the UAC Federation. Leonardo, on the other hand, was adamantly opposed and hoped to use other means to stop the situation from deteriorating.
And Fengyu's appeal is undoubtedly acceptable to both parties, and it can even be said to be the most idealistic result. The only thing that is not ideal is how to achieve it.
After listening to Fengyu's words, Dragowski stared at him for a few seconds before speaking, "You are really similar to Mr. Edward, but he is not as naΓ―ve as you. But I finally understand why he trained you as the successor of the chairman. From the point of view of the organization in favor of the Awa-ker, you and he are both people who have eliminated the sense of territory, and only people like you can lead an organization across borders fairly. I'm glad that Awa-Ker has a young director like you, and I hope the organization can get through this difficult time. I understand what you mean, and I'll go back and tell them. β
Although Dragowski was tough at first, this was not a strategy arranged for him by Situ Hui, who was essentially an upright person like the other directors.
In fact, anyone who can enter the Awa-ker headquarters must be assessed by the professional awakened, and those with bad intentions or cunning treacherous people have no chance to pass at all. Even if you are not pure enough, you will be recorded by the examiner, and you will basically have no hope of becoming a director for the rest of your life.
It is also sad to say that a group of honest directors have been forced to stand on opposite sides because of different demands, causing one of the worst crises since the establishment of Awa-Ker, and it may be split in two.
Chairman Edward's goal is to eliminate this risk, and he pins his hopes on Fengyu. Because Edward himself was already absolutely neutral, and the other directors knew that it was impossible to let him take sides, so in addition to him, the three people who had the greatest influence on the board were Leonardo, Situ Hui and Fengyu.
When Leonardo and Situ Hui are on opposite sides, Fengyu's attitude becomes a decisive factor related to Awa-ker's future. Representing the military power of the Awa-Ker, if he fell to either side, it would be a fatal blow to the other, and when he stood from a neutral point of view, the two sides had a chance to de-escalate.
Situ Hui's side has already made efforts and has made Fengyu's attitude clear, so now it's up to Leonardo's side.
So just after Dragowski left, in addition to Captain Morgan, who didn't need to communicate with Fengyu anymore, and the new African director Zuabi, who had a low sense of presence in this matter, the last director he had never met - Leonardo made a grand appearance.
