Chapter 133 Supranational Organizations

The two quickly arrived at the United Nations building. This United Nations building was almost exactly the same as the one Luo Qing remembered. If there was any change, it would only be the national flags of various countries in front of the United Nations building square.

The number of national flags was more than half less than Luo Qing remembered.

"Why are so many countries missing?" Luo Qing stopped and looked at the national flags, puzzled.

Did so many countries perish during our fifty years of isolation?
Such a big thing, why didn't humans wake him up?

Is human civilization so resilient and so principled?
Could they have secretly fought World War III behind my back?

Luo Qing looked closely for a while and quickly noticed something. Although the number of national flags had decreased, most of them belonged to third-world countries.

But the question is, do Third World countries deserve to disappear?
Luo Qing was greatly alarmed.

"During the fifty years I've been in seclusion, has the world political situation undergone any major changes?"

"What kind of major change are you referring to?" The president tilted his head slightly, looking at Luo Qing.

"Similar to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe."

“Yes, there are quite a few.” The US president nodded. “You should have noticed that two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and the seven permanent members of the Planetary Defense Council seem to be missing, but they are actually still here.”

The president pointed her slender finger to the distant blue flag with a star and ring: "Thirty years ago, the European Union was formalized, becoming the world's first supranational organization. Its economy, military, and foreign policy have been unified. The core of the EU is France and Germany. Britain briefly returned to the EU, but was quickly expelled for the second time."

Although within the EU, countries like France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Poland still have their own heads of state with a certain degree of political influence, external exchanges are primarily conducted by EU officials, with the EU President being the highest leader. Compared to the Soviet Union, the EU's integration was not as tight, but over time, the advantages of European integration have gradually become apparent, and the EU has inherited the political status of France and Germany, becoming the third-largest economy in terms of overall strength.

Luo Qing nodded, indicating that he understood; this was within his expectations.

The US president then pointed to a flag that closely resembled the Japanese flag. The flag's main feature was a gradient red sun, with three intersecting blue wavy lines below it, symbolizing the ocean.

"In the era of the great development of the solar system, small developed countries gradually realized that although small but powerful countries have a great deal of influence in Earth's politics, they are unable to build even the most basic planetary warship. Under such circumstances, with the EU as a precedent, Japan and South Korea, who had cooperated in building the 'Ku-Island' planetary warship, put aside their historical grievances and formed a supranational organization in Asia. The establishment of the Japan-South Korea alliance quickly attracted the participation of Australia and New Zealand, and later even absorbed some Southeast Asian countries. Since these countries are all Pacific Rim countries, the Japan-South Korea alliance was renamed the 'Pacific Alliance', also known as the 'Pacific Front,' becoming the second supranational organization after the European Union."

After the US president explained the two examples, Luo Qing finally felt relieved.

"That's good. I thought you guys had fought World War III behind my back and lost a bunch of countries."

The US president chuckled at the wall-facing man's lame joke.

The flags of the new five permanent members of the United Nations – the United States, China, Russia, Europe, and the Pacific – stand in the very center of the UN building. In addition, Luo Qing also noticed the flags of two other supranational organizations standing in the second row, alongside the flags of India and the United Kingdom.

As if sensing the Wallfacer's confusion, the US president nestled beside him and patiently explained.

Wait, why did she snuggle up to him?
"Don't move, there are reporters filming us. I'll use you to create a scandal: The Wallfacer and the Beautiful Girl President, hehehe. I want to see how that hateful dark-skinned woman competes with me in the midterm elections. All the votes are mine, mine!"

Luo Qing: “…”

The president, nestled beside Luo Qing, wore a satisfied expression. She explained to Luo Qing one by one: "That dark green flag with a blue sky belongs to the African Union, but this organization has limited significance; it's the least prominent of all supranational organizations. The other flag, red with yellow vertical lines and three layers of flames in the middle, is the flag of South America, called the Latin American Union."

That's right, it's the Latin American socialist alliance that the Wallfacer Rediaz has always dreamed of.

Luo Qing exclaimed in surprise, "This name, this flag... South America is your backyard, and you actually let them turn red?"

Upon hearing this, President White curled his lip: "The United States itself is almost turning red. The proportion of state-owned enterprises and planned economy in our country is even far greater than in the Roosevelt era. Isn't the next stage after the stage of state capitalism socialism? In this era, there is no longer any distinction of color."

After a long pause, Luo Qing finally managed to say, "The Soviet Union died unjustly."

Premature babies are prone to birth defects, and the survival rate of babies with birth defects is low.

"Your analogy is very insightful."

"Let's go, let's go, there are more and more reporters, she's shy." After saying that, the US president affectionately took Luo Qing's arm and walked into the United Nations venue amidst countless flashes of light.

...

Hearing for the Wallfacer Project.

As Luo Qing entered the venue, he felt the intense gazes of the crowd. He quickly realized why: someone was pressed against his arm.

The president's pretty face was flushed, and he lowered his head, but still puffed out his thin chest and looked down at the crowd with pride.

Luo Qing took a deep breath, his spiritual power surged, and he blasted the American president away.

The president looked dejected.

Luo Qing: “…”

As this marks the first time in the last fifty years that a Wallfacer has emerged from seclusion, the UN conference was attended by an unusually large number of high-ranking politicians, with the average age of the attendees around fifty.

—They had almost all grown up listening to Luo Qing's stories, and with a kind of star-struck longing, they all took the opportunity to come to New York to witness this scene.

If the ETO were capable of dropping a high-yield aerial bomb here, half the countries in the world would have to fly their flags at half-mast. (If the ETO hadn't been destroyed.)

In fact, if Luo Qing hadn't left behind enough video footage fifty years ago, almost no one would truly believe in the existence of this cultivator.

Fifty years is a long time for ordinary people, almost two generations.

But now, when they saw the Wallfacer walking in with the US president in his arms, no one uttered a sound.

Only the dark-skinned young woman, then leader of the Democratic Party, felt as if the sky had fallen when she saw this scene, while she was in the audience.

Fortunately, some people had met Luo Qing. The then-PDC rotating chairman, now in his seventies, was a Frenchman who had met Luo Qing when he was young, although at that time he was just an ordinary member of the French delegation.

He composed himself for a moment, then asked somewhat nervously, "Mr. Wallfacer, is this also part of the plan?"

The rotating chairman pointed to the US president who had entered with him.

"No," Luo Qing said expressionlessly.

"Phew..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, mixed with a regretful sigh.

After clarifying this small misunderstanding, Luo Qing stood on that familiar work report platform.

Looking at the unfamiliar crowd on the stage, whose gazes were filled with caution and curiosity, Luo Qing suddenly felt a sense of loss and change in the face of these strangers.

He still prefers the old UN hall, where everyone was fighting fiercely and getting along famously – it was so lively!

"I hereby declare the Wallfacer Project hearings officially open."

The rotating chairman tapped the table with a small wooden hammer passed down from Garnin and announced.

"Before the wall-facers give their reports, please have the representatives of each country report to the wall-facers first."

Luo Qing listened quietly to the reports from various countries.

Thus, a reverse hearing began.
