Chapter 1009: War of words at the negotiation table

But Om had no intention of listening to the president's nonsense, so he interrupted him directly, "Just tell me your specific methods. How long will it take you to improve the factory's sewage discharge and deal with the garbage? Give me a clear time. Don't try to evade me with any vague general numbers. I want a specific time, one month or two months? What level of pollution treatment will you achieve? How are you going to deal with the fixed garbage in the sea?"

"We need to transform all the factories that are involved in marine pollution. This kind of thing cannot be handled in one or two months, or even one or two years. Besides, factories are the lifeblood of ordinary people. We can't deal with these factories or assembly lines so easily..."

"You mean you don't agree to the first agreement? If that's the case, then let's not talk about it. Let's meet on the battlefield!" Om pretended to stand up.

Om was very dissatisfied with the attitude of humans. To put it bluntly, humans were no match for the Atlanteans. If it weren't for Su Xiuyu's suppression, how could it be the turn of these humans to haggle with him?

To put it bluntly, being able to sit down was to give face to others rather than to the President of the United States, but these humans were actually pretending to be nice to him and there was no formal problem at all.

"Ohm, don't worry. Mr. President, we must deal with the pollution problem, and we need to work out a minimum plan now. It must be specific and detailed, such as a complete ban on sewage discharge within two months.

Two months is enough time for factories across the country to install sewage treatment equipment. This is the simplest and easiest to verify problem. By then, the Atlanteans can directly patrol the coast and the seabed. Any company that directly discharges sewage will have its sewage pipes destroyed. "

Uchiha Shisui signaled Om to be patient. Since America had no intention of directly expressing its attitude, Uchiha Shisui directly instructed America to complete all sewage renovations within two months.

"Impossible! It is impossible to complete such a complex sewage renovation project in two months. This is not a joke. Our workers are simply not capable of such efficiency!"

Now the President of the United States is really anxious. There are so many factories in the United States, and there is simply not enough time to make sewage disposal modifications for each one. This is not a question of whether it can be done or not, it is a question that it cannot be achieved at all.

But Uchiha Shisui would not continue to treat this guy well. "I understand what you mean. The infrastructure can't keep up, right? I'll introduce you to the Eastern infrastructure team. The ninja personnel and engineering efficiency can meet the requirements of the transformation time, but it will cost more money. I think Mr. President should not mind spending more money, right?"

Now it was the president's turn to be speechless. He didn't expect that someone in the superpower camp like Shisui also knew the strength of the Eastern infrastructure team. If the infrastructure team of the Eastern superpower was allowed to handle these projects, there would be hope that all the renovations would be completed within two months.

"But if that happens, the burden on our companies will be too heavy. Many small businesses cannot afford the high pollution control costs, and it will affect the lives of many people." Amanda did not back down at the critical moment and spoke of the difficulties on the human side.

It is true that sewage treatment itself is a good thing, but it is difficult for small businesses to bear the initial costs of sewage treatment. The simple transformation costs alone can directly drag down small businesses, and many people will lose their jobs.

"You have a point. If small businesses can't survive, what should your government do? If the government doesn't do anything now, will all small businesses die in the future? Since small businesses are in trouble, either provide financial support or reduce taxes. Will your tax bureau die if you collect less tax for one or two years?"

When Uchiha Shisui set this tone, he had no intention of discussing too much, because the more he discussed, the less likely they would reach an agreement in the end, so it would be better to use his big fists to suppress the opinions of the American side.

"There is also the issue of marine garbage disposal. Because the sea area is so large and the ocean currents are complex, the disposal of marine garbage is mainly left to the Atlanteans. However, according to the proportion of garbage disposed, humans need to give the Atlanteans corresponding compensation.

Or, humans can organize their own personnel to deal with the garbage at sea, so that you will not be asked to compensate the Atlanteans. The garbage was originally created by humans, and it is normal for humans to pay some price now. This is a long-term activity, so the Atlanteans can perform their supervisory duties. "

After Uchiha Shisui took the lead, Om also knew how to deal with these guys, so some of the subsequent suggestions were directly aimed at America's pain points.

Of course, Om would not push the other party too hard, as it would be useless to do so - Om really didn't want to go through this damn meeting again.

The last issue involved is the management of the sea. Before the appearance of the Atlanteans, the right to rule the ocean was determined by the strength of each country on the one hand, and of course more by the coastline.

But now it is different. The right to rule the ocean is actually in the hands of the Atlanteans, which involves the issue of the division of ocean ownership.

"The Atlanteans dominate the ocean. I don't think I need to say much about this, because whether it's actual military power or familiarity with the ocean, human civilization cannot compare with us. This is an objective reality. The future division can be preliminarily determined. The coastline is generally still your territory, but you need to pay attention to the oceans and submarines under the sea--"

"I object! If you Atlanteans are right, the sea is your territory. This doesn't make sense! If humans only have coastlines, it's the same as having no coastline at all!"

When it comes to the division of the ocean, the President of the United States has personally stepped in. It is impossible for human beings to accept only a coastline. A large amount of resources are obtained from the sea. If they really follow the opinions of the Atlanteans, human beings will lose the sea, their marine pasture.

Similarly, most of the shipping in the human world is on the sea. Without the sea for shipping, the economic situation of the entire human world would be difficult to imagine. The so-called economic globalization would suffer a severe blow in an instant, and the ocean shipping industry would also suffer a devastating blow.

"Ordinary trade shipping can be temporarily unrestricted, as long as the cargo ships' pollution discharge meets the standards. One year later, cargo ships will need to give up part of their profits in exchange with the Atlanteans. Similarly, the Atlanteans will also have the task of maintaining cargo ship shipping safety. This can be regarded as cooperation between the two parties, a win-win situation for both parties."
