Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 405 Rome Convention
2037 3 Month 15 Day.

In the city of Rome, on the Federation Square in front of the European Federation Building.

The largest, highest-level, and most widely represented global meeting in the history of human society was held in this huge square.

10 human representatives from all over the world, the moon, Jupiter, Mars, and the asteroid belt attended the meeting.

Participants included the main officials of the three major federations, leaders of large global companies, heads of major consortiums, social team leaders, intellectuals and scholars, celebrities from all walks of life, and a large number of public representatives.

The theme of this conference is one, to jointly witness and sign the "Framework Agreement on the Ways to Realize the Peaceful Unification of Human Society and the Procedures for Establishing the Solar System Human Federation in the Future", referred to as the "Rome Convention".

The "Roman Convention" is more than 1000 pages long. It not only contains the detailed rules of the War of Dawn, but also makes a detailed plan for the unification of human society after the War of Dawn.

This document was publicized on the entire network five days ago, and this meeting is the final signing ceremony.

All 10 participants will leave their names on one page of this document, representing the commitment of all human beings to abide by the agreement.

The meeting started at 9:[-] a.m. Rome time. After more than a dozen representatives from all walks of life made impassioned speeches, it was time for the signing process.

More than 1000 staff distributed the paper documents of the Rome Convention to the participants and signed them one by one. Each page of the document will be signed by more than 100 representatives.

This paper document, together with the video of this meeting, will become the most important archive in human history, recording the most important events in the history of human development.

It is an honor for all participants to be able to leave their own autographs on this document.

While Zhong Cheng, Lu Yao and the others were waiting to sign, five Europeans walked towards them.

The leader is a middle-aged Caucasian man about 50 years old, tall and handsome, with extraordinary demeanor, and his simple clothes reveal the demeanor of a superior and the aristocratic atmosphere of Western Europe.

Zhong Cheng immediately realized that this person must be Orlando von Harris, the rumored contemporary leader of the Mutual Aid Association, Wu Yan, the chief deacon.

After more than a year of hard work by Xu Jiuwen's team, they have ascertained the organizational structure of the Mutual Aid Association and the identities of high-level personnel.

Of course, this is also because the Mutual Aid Society made a high-profile debut in Dream World and no longer deliberately concealed its identity.

For the direct confrontation between the Eastern and Western civilizations in the dream world and the final battle that will determine the future destiny of mankind, the Mutual Aid Association has decided to put all their eggs in one basket and fight with all their strength.

Because of Red Star Corporation's astonishing speed in space development, the earth-shaking changes on Mars far exceeded their expectations.

Although they have worked hard to manage Jupiter and Saturn, the industrial strength of the two sides that has been brought closer in the past few years has been pulled apart again, and the gap will become wider and wider.

With the development of Mars and the subsequent development of Venus and Mercury, the strength of the Orientals will be wiped out all the way.

Maybe ten years later, they have lost the opportunity to have an equal dialogue with the Orientals, and they will either die together or surrender.

This is the result they don't want to see, so the Battle of Dawn is their last chance.

According to survey data, Mr. Orlando von Harris was born in the oldest noble family in Europe.

Members of his family served as Holy Roman Emperor, Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, King of Spain, King of Portugal, Emperor of Mexico and Dukes of several Italian duchies.

The Harris family is the most prominent and powerful family in European history and today, possessing incomparable wealth, the actual controllers of most consortia in the Western world, and the most staunch advocates of Western culture.

Although the relationship between this family and the Mutual Aid Association is still a mystery, Xu Jiuwen told Zhong Cheng clearly that this Mr. Harris is the actual controller of the Mutual Aid Association and the most powerful person in the European and American Federation today.

Orlando von Harris walked to a position 2.1 meters in front of Zhong Cheng and stopped, which is the dividing point between the near and far range of social distance.

He put his left hand on his right chest facing Zhong Cheng, put his right hand on his side, bowed his body slightly and nodded at the same time, and said in pure French: "Dear Mr. Zhong Cheng, welcome to Europe!"

Then he greeted Lu Yao and the others.

Zhong Cheng clasped his hands together, performed a traditional Chinese salute, and replied in Chinese: "Thank you, respected Mr. Harris, very glad to see you here!"

Both parties did not find an interpreter, and Orlando is proficient in many languages, including Chinese.

In recent years, in order to study Western culture, Zhong Cheng has made up for language classes, and he can also easily understand English, French, German, Russian and other Western languages.

Orlando said politely: "Mr. Zhong, Europe has a long history and culture, and Rome is one of the birthplaces of European culture. I think you will love the city of Rome."

"If you don't mind, I would like to give you a castle outside the city as your base in Rome!"

Zhong Cheng sneered in his heart, but he replied with a smile on his face: "Mr. Harris, you are too polite, I think you are more likely to like the prosperity of Shanghai City."

"Although I don't have a castle for you in Haicheng, I guarantee that you will feel as comfortable as returning to your own home when you arrive in Haicheng!"

Orlando took a serious look at Zhong Cheng, and laughed loudly, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

"Mr. Zhong, you really deserve your reputation. From you, I see the reasons for the rise of the Orientals. You are firm, confident, and wise!"

Zhong Cheng replied politely: "Thank you, Mr. Harris, your frankness and demeanor have also refreshed my understanding of Westerners!"

Orlando didn't say anything more, and after bowing to everyone, he left.

Zhao Wei, who accompanied him, curled his lips boredly, "You two just flattered each other, what's the point, I thought this guy was going to talk cruelly!"

Zhong Cheng sighed and said, "If that's the case, I'll be happy instead!"

Lu Yao nodded, "This guy is not simple, he just came to see Zhong Cheng!"

Zhong Cheng said in a deep voice: "If a person is as rich as an enemy, but lives like an ascetic monk for decades, no matter what his purpose is, he is a respectable opponent!"

Zhao Wei was surprised and said: "There are people like this, I think this is a lunatic!"

Lu Yao suppressed his smile and said, "Competing against such an opponent, you don't have to worry about him cheating after losing. This is the only comforting thing!"

Zhong Cheng nodded and agreed that no matter how good the nobles are, they will do whatever they can to achieve their goals, but credit comes first.

Lu Yao suddenly asked: "Zhong Cheng, I'm just assuming, if we lose, will you admit defeat?"

Zhong Cheng was silent for a while. He had thought about this question many times recently.

Fighting in the virtual game world is an unfamiliar field for him, because the battle of the dawn is no longer about technology, but about controlling people's hearts.

Personal bravery can at most set off a small wave among thousands of troops.

Although a lot of preparations have been made in advance, the odds of winning are at most [-]-[-]%.

He replied: "Although I'm not some kind of nobleman, I still speak like a mountain. If I lose, my whole family will move to Mars and never return to Earth!"

Lu Yao sadly said: "Then let's go together, I don't have the face to stay on the earth."

Zhao Wei said disdainfully: "Look at the bears of you two, we will definitely not lose!"

The two laughed, so let's borrow his auspicious words!
