King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 1952 - 4: The Grand Finale (Part 4)
But there isn't a clear political entity to manage things there now, so we feel it's suitable for the UN Trusteeship Office to manage various lunar affairs!
In the future, anyone conducting scientific research and development on the Moon will need to pay fees to the Moon Development Authority...
Part of these fees will be used to assist impoverished people in developing countries...
Another part will be used to sponsor these scientific research institutions, ensuring they have enough funding to conduct research, making it easier to integrate the Moon's resources into the existing Earth industrial chain..."
Xiao Ma was astonished and said, "How come I didn't know about this?"
Joe Ga smiled and said, "For establishing this department, we still need your approval, after all, the UN is still the UN of the five permanent members..."
Saying this, Joe Ga reached out to shake hands with the confused Xiao Ma and said with a smile, "As good friends, I believe you'd be happy to nominate me as the Chairman of the Moon Development Authority..."
Xiao Ma sighed upon hearing this and said, "You've long known the contents of the memorandum, haven't you?"
Joe Ga nodded and said, "You've held so many closed-door meetings, it's no secret...
From the Moon belonging to no one, to the Moon belonging to all humanity...
From whoever occupies benefits, to whoever develops must bear responsibility...
From resource development, to industrial chain coordination...
From investment to monetization...
Buddy, if this memorandum had appeared before me ten years ago, I'd have seen it as a provocation and stuffed it down your throat.
But now, I admit that the things you've thought of do make sense, because establishing rules can effectively prevent chaos.
But you've thought and talked too much, and done too little...
Thanks to my successful moon landing, the French aerospace industry absorbed a massive amount of capital; you're now part of this industrial chain too and will succeed in the lunar landing sooner or later.
Now is not the time for internal strife, full force spending for development is the real business!
Buddy, the Moon is just a forward base, and until nuclear fusion technology fully matures, using resources there to feed back to Earth doesn't hold much significance...
Building it into a base for human exploration outwardly can maximize the Moon's value!"
Saying this, Joe Ga looked into Xiao Ma's eyes and smiled, "How about it, are we making a deal?
All for one, and one for all!
We need to maintain this spirit, otherwise, besides internal strife, we have no other way."
After listening, Xiao Ma sighed and said, "You always persuade me so easily...
But our situation is pretty bad right now, do you have a solution?"
Joe Ga shook his head and said, "I don't have one, because the French want too much...
I suggest you cooperate with China on the West African issue; otherwise, once these West African countries are incited by Russia and break away from your control, you'll lose a cheap resource supply area and industrial product dumping grounds...
As for the cooperation issue, Germany has moved much faster than you all!
But if we can't kick off NATO to achieve strategic autonomy, all of the things mentioned above are just jokes..."
Xiao Ma nodded in frustration and said, "I know that, but what can I do?"
Joe Ga listened and said sneakily, "In the field of international politics, there's a strange phenomenon, the louder one shouts, the less likely things are done...
You've called for European autonomy time and again, never once receiving a positive response.
Why don't you try a different approach?"
Xiao Ma paused and said, "You mean to draw NATO to support Ukraine..."
Joe Ga nodded with a smile and said, "The Americans won't get involved no matter what; if I were you, I'd clamor for war with Russia and demand all allies to send troops together...
Then people will realize, NATO's unity doesn't exist, and under such circumstances, European strategic autonomy has room to occur.
Moreover, if you really send troops, you can openly balance England's influence in Ukraine; lastly, if there is hope in Russia-Ukraine negotiations, you will become the key political force influencing the situation."
After listening, Xiao Ma pinched his nose and said, "I need to inquire my consultant's opinion..."
Joe Ga stretched his hand with a 'you're free' gesture, and then laughed and said, "You can take your time to think about it!
I'm going on stage..."
Xiao Ma paused, grabbed Joe Ga's arm, and said, "There's still stuff about the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt; lots of media have come today, they'll make things difficult for you on this issue..."
Joe Ga shrugged nonchalantly and laughed, "The Eagle Brigade is Igor's army, what does it have to do with me?
Everyone knows my son is a fool, you big shots can't possibly really have trouble with an eight-year-old fool, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ma said with amusement, "He's your son; you can't dodge this..."
Hearing this, Joe Ga casually picked up Isabel who was running around on the ground. Looking at the bandage on his daughter's forehead, he kissed her tenderly and said annoyed, "What am I dodging?
Give me face, it means Igor did what any fool would do...
If you don't give me face, that means Hu Lang and his son maintain the humanitarian baseline together..."
Saying this, Joe Ga kissed the smiling Isabel's cheek and said, "Your brother is a little rascal, you mustn't learn from him..." ππ£π²ππ¨π²ππ»πΌπ―π²π.π°ππ¦
Isabel vigorously rubbed the kissed cheek, held her father's face with both hands, and said, "Daddy, Igor is buying guns everywhere, he says he wants to go to war, can you let him take me along, okay?"
