Chapter 199: The Messenger of Peace (I)
In the next few days, the most eye-catching thing in the entire human society was the selection of diplomatic representatives for aliens. The selection was organized by the largest television stations, and all the candidates signed up spontaneously from the private sector, and then auditioned according to the preliminary diplomatic candidate criteria obtained from the opinion polls.
The scope of the audition has been expanded to cover the entire human society. Just because of a simple standard of public opinion, the organizers have to spend huge manpower and material resources to carry out such work. Not only do you have to reconcile the contradictions, but you also have to explain to many candidates who don't meet the standards why they were not selected, and it is not a variety of issues such as racial discrimination or discrimination against vulnerable groups.
The grand event set off a ratings frenzy. This is not only a new innovation in entertainment, but also covers the great mission of communication between two civilizations and the glory of the historical moment when humanity first came into contact with extraterrestrial intelligent life. Entertainment surnames are secondary.
Even so, tens of thousands of candidates were selected in the primaries. They were selected from hundreds of billions of people. Applicants included all types, old people, young people, children, men, women, people with disabilities, representatives of peace associations, members of Green Preservation, diplomatic assistants, linguists, mathematicians, interstellarists, political axe officials, business owners, entertainment stars, sports stars, etc., and even a few soldiers, small soldiers, insignificant kinds, everyone had a sufficient set of theories to prove that they should be chosen.
The number is so large that several TV stations have to set up countless small venues on several immigrant stars, just like electing parliamentarians, each of whom explains his reasons and shows his talents in his own branch venues, and the local people organize voting to elect local representatives and participate in the competition for representatives of each planet.
To be sure, there will be no more than ten places for the first contact with aliens. Of course, it is only within this range, and there are a few specifics, and no one has detailed information. The Coalition Parliament is still engaged in a lengthy and inefficient process of argumentation that is similar to the issuance of a policy programme, with a wide variety of arguments but not a single concrete resolution.
Many parties began to take advantage of this opportunity to hype up and add joint plans with aliens to their party platforms, hoping to gain more support from the people and eventually gain the qualifications to govern. Of course, whether it is these big and empty truths or preaching, the people will not be interested, except for the hardcore supporters of those parties, no one will care about the performance of these people.
Of course, it cannot be denied that a few cattle people have jumped out on several planets claiming that they have long predicted the alien incident, and have begun to vigorously make some inflammatory speeches among the people, trying to unite a small group of people to carry out some abnormal activities. The attitude of the political axe in this regard is that as long as it is not a cult organization that inciting people to think on the dark side, everyone can justify it and let it go. As long as it is classified as a cult, it will be ruthlessly suppressed.
Compared to the real terrorists, these guys who pretend to be gods and dance gods are nothing more than clowns after all. These terrorists are real people. Of course, there are several types of terrorists, one is the one who is in the middle of the world, one is the supremacy of religion, the other is the supremacy of humanity, and so on.
Troublemakers, take this opportunity to show their organization's position, and must draw a line with those guys in the United Council, how they treat aliens is their business, but their own regional affairs need to be decided by the organization. As a result, some unfortunate candidates in the areas controlled by these guys have been treated as chickens to make an example of the monkeys, and several have died, leaving a message on the scene that they did not have the permission of the ruler to make decisions on their own.
Religious supremacy guys are clamoring to promote their religion or cult to aliens, and if they don't choose the religious representatives they send, something as big as a small-scale terrorist incident will happen in a few days. This is a threat tactic.
As for the guys above the human race, some of them simply do not agree with the peaceful establishment of diplomatic relations between human beings and those lowly aliens who can only be slaves of human beings and do not know what it looks like. Their slogan is to bring war directly to those who are inferior, to occupy, to conquer, to dominate, to enslave.
These terrorists have already committed no less than 50 terrorist incidents, large or small, in a matter of days, and the military has already sent troops to intervene, and it is believed that they will not do much. There is nothing commendable in the peace, and jumping out at this time is nothing more than grandstanding.
On each planet, at least twenty delegates are elected, and then they compete again on Earth, PK each other until the people vote for the top few. Of course, it's not that those who are at the back of the queue don't have opportunities, and no one knows how many places they have, so find more people and be prepared.
The selection activities for so many days in a row have created a group of people who have been born, commoners have become stars, sparrows have become phoenixes, and in just a few days, many people have become well-known idols. It is impossible not to sigh that as long as there is an opportunity, there are always people who will seize it in the shortest possible time, and then quickly achieve their goals.
Inspired by some of the oldest TV shows of the early 21st century, the audition was re-curated and equipped with the latest interactive technology. Several co-organized TV stations make a lot of money, and the advertising expenses alone make these behind-the-scenes shareholders happy, not to mention the rising status in the eyes of the people and other incognito benefits through these activities.
The guy who won first place was a personable professor of linguistics, whose elegant smile and generous demeanor won everyone's support, and his major was very suitable. Every time Gao He saw him on TV, he was very maliciously guessing, this guy with such good eloquence and a mouth in front of the camera, how could he not be in politics, it is really the biggest waste in the human world!
Of course, Gao He watched these events with a playful mood. None of the members of the United Parliament, the generals of the military, or even the district governors signed up for such an event, which seemed to be a one-step climb to the sky.
Maybe the people outside are self-righteous and explain it as the reason for the unofficial event, but Gao He knows very well that those people are definitely not participating in it for such reasons.
