Chapter 57 NATO Article V
After reading the American proposal, the representatives from various countries present felt disgusted. A malicious alien civilization had arrived on Earth, yet the Americans were still thinking of plundering their allies, seizing their industries and bringing them home.

However, from the perspective of the Americans, it is understandable why they do this. They do not have an island chain to defend against threats in the Pacific, and only have the lonely Hawaiian Island standing in the front.

From a strategic point of view, it is a "salient". Without other islands to serve as a fulcrum, it faces the threat of alien civilization alone, and all supplies rely on sea transportation. Once the sea transportation is cut off, it will become a dead end.

The Americans are now paying a heavy price for their self-destructive behavior over the years. Local industries have become hollowed out, the industry has become obsolete, and the industrial workers are even more generational. These skilled workers are not laborers who sell their labor, but talents that require long-term training.

Without skilled workers, can we expect those abstract things like drug addicts, LGBT+, white left saints, etc. in North America to work in factories?
Where do the talents and industries come from? Since they can’t be cultivated locally, they can only go abroad to rob them. Now they can justifiably take them, especially Europe, which is the strategic rear area, and has been stuffed into the menu of the old Americans.

On the Asian side, it’s time to kill the few dogs raised by the United States. Once the Pacific Ocean is cut off, they will be useless!

"Regarding the constructive suggestions from the US side, I would like to ask the US representative to explain what "Establishing a Joint Human Fleet" means?" The representative of the University of Tokyo lowered his brow slightly and leaned forward. A strong sense of oppression made the US representative not know where to put his hands for a moment.

"This 'Establishment of a Joint Human Fleet' is naturally to deal with alien threats. We must unite as one." The American representative said in a deep voice, but his tone lacked confidence.

If the University of Tokyo was still giving the Americans some face, the Russian representative would show no mercy: "Then, who will be the commander of this combined fleet? I think we Russians can do it. Don't worry! We will never betray our comrades!"

"Of course it's us. We have the most powerful navy in the world, and the battlefield is the Pacific Ocean."

"I think we can do it too," the French representative said. "During our first contact with aliens, our French warriors fought bravely and, together with our Eastern friends, shot down three enemy planes. This has gone down in history!"

"Our British Royal Navy has a history of hundreds of years, much longer than that of the US Navy, and has experienced several major wars!" The British representative said unwillingly.

No one is stupid. Once the command is handed over, will the other party treat everyone equally? At least they in the West don't believe in the so-called fairness!

If you judge others by yourself, you will definitely send your competitor's fleet to be cannon fodder, and then divert resources to your own country, or even take this opportunity to suck their blood.

The President of the Security Council looked at the increasingly chaotic meeting room and could only knock the gavel helplessly.

"Vote on the proposal to 'Establish a Human United Fleet.'"

"agree!"

"agree!"

"veto!"

"veto!"

“Abstain.”

In fact, all the permanent members of the Security Council know that the proposal to "form a joint human fleet" is absolutely impossible to pass. As long as one country rejects it, the proposal will be a waste of paper. However, there are other reasons for proposing it.

"Now, I declare that the proposal to 'form a joint human fleet' did not pass the vote of the Security Council. The next motion is the proposal from the University of Tokyo on 'sharing alien intelligence'." Everyone present picked up the document and looked at it. It briefly introduced the performance of the alien aircraft, and there were close-up photos of the aircraft, which could be said to be close-up shots, as well as photos of various wreckage.

"We are willing to provide alien spacecraft fragments to other friendly nations and share intelligence to a certain extent," the representative from the University of Tokyo said, speaking in a very Eastern way, turning on the microphone. "We hope that through the wreckage, we can understand how they came to Earth."

The other countries present all looked at the representatives of Tokyo University, especially the American representatives, with some surprise on their faces. They had originally wanted to ask Tokyo University for the wreckage of the alien spacecraft. Since France had followed Tokyo University before and had not done any work but had contributed, it was normal for it to obtain some debris, but they, the United States, had no share!
The United States was so envious of the lunar soil brought back by the University of Tokyo that it even shamelessly asked for it openly in the name of human scientific research. It just happened to be using "justice" to call for war against the University of Tokyo, but now that they have taken the initiative to give it out, it feels like a punch on cotton.

However, how should we define "friendly" and "to a certain extent"? The decision rests with the University of Tokyo, but there's really nothing wrong with what they said.

“Thank you to the Todai representative for considering the overall situation.”

“I’m so glad that technology is in the hands of civilization.”

Seeing that the University of Tokyo was "considering the overall situation", representatives from other countries began to flatter it.

"Now let's vote on 'Sharing Extraterrestrial Intelligence'."

"agree!"

"agree!"

The proposal of the Tokyo University representative was passed unanimously. Unlike the United States, which only makes empty promises, the Tokyo University at least came up with something real.

The representative from the University of Tokyo looked around helplessly at the representatives from the other 14 countries in the conference hall. If it was really for the sake of humanity, the University of Tokyo could hand over some of the command power. Although the experience gained from the joint fleet exercise was: don't conduct joint exercises. But unity comes at a price.

At this moment, the US representative spoke again: "According to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier battle group was attacked by an extraterrestrial civilization, and NATO countries should implement this article."

The words of the American representative instantly made the conference hall quiet again, especially the representatives of those countries that joined NATO, whose faces became even uglier.

The United States directly put this proposal before the Security Council, which is equivalent to putting other NATO member states (except France) on the spot. Normally, they only need to pay some military expenses, but now that the boss has spoken, it’s time for you to contribute!

If they don't send troops, they're not abiding by the treaty. The US is justifying its plunder of their industry and talent under the pretext of fighting aliens. If they send troops, they only have so much wealth. If they send it out and expect to get it back, they'll just become cannon fodder!
Now the stubborn one has become blocked at both ends!

After waiting for more than ten seconds, no one in the meeting room spoke, because this was not the responsibility of the Security Council, but an internal matter of NATO. Even if there was a vote, NATO and Russia would abstain, France would also abstain, and the United States and the United Kingdom would agree.

Without the abstention votes, the voting for the remaining 10 seats is still decided by the Americans!
Looking at the irreversible voting result, the representative from the University of Tokyo glanced at the American representative sitting across from them. "I believe the US is well aware of the appearance of the 'sinkhole' and the aggressive nature of the alien civilization's aircraft. Here, we reiterate our position that we must be cautious in dealing with alien civilizations! We hope you will do your best!"

The meeting ended and the results were quickly notified to other UN member states.
