Although the final negotiation result was not a happy one for everyone, it was a relief for most people. After all, the cessation of shipping has killed many countries. For example, the rich people in the Middle East could not sell their oil, which led to a sharp drop in fiscal revenue. This kind of plunge is not a short-term one, but in the foreseeable future, their financial situation will not be very good, because even if the state of war is lifted, it is not so easy to restore the shipping industry to the level before the disaster.
However, this is better than before, and there is still a huge difference between making some money and completely going bankrupt.
The final negotiation results will be announced to the world in writing in three days.
But just like that, it also set off an uproar in the whole world!
First of all, environmentalism in various countries began to rise strongly. Before this, environmentalism had a voice in various countries, which cannot be said to be completely absent. But it was also dispensable. If you need it, you can use it. If you don’t need it... just throw it aside.

But now, environmental protection has suddenly become the most popular topic in the world.
The most direct impact brought about is that everything related to environmental protection has soared! For example, new energy. The stock of Stark Group has grown so much that several factions that originally obstructed Stark Group's new energy business have been defeated. Stark Group's energy group has expanded rapidly, especially in coastal states, where performance has grown so fast.
The second is to bring a new round of political turmoil.
It is very interesting that many governments have survived the initial chaos, but as peace talks are reached, many ruling parties have been liquidated. Because the opposition party will blame the ruling party for polluting the environment. Countries began to follow this favorable trend and began a political reshuffle!
The United States has also seen such signs.
In the United States, the two parties are supported by completely different interest groups. The Republican Party is backed by the three major traditional industries of the United States, arms, oil and manufacturing, while the Democratic Party is backed by emerging industries and high-tech industries. There is no difference between the two in essence, but the direction of interests is different.
This time, the peace talks brought great turmoil to American politics. First of all, the support rate of the Republican Party has collapsed!
This term of President Benjamin was originally a Democrat, and his political inclination is very left. This makes the Democratic Party slightly overwhelm the Republican Party in the political arena, but it doesn't matter. For this kind of east wind overwhelms the west wind, those party leaders are already very accustomed to it. Benjamin's approval rating is high now, and they have no choice, so even if they nominate candidates, they will not take it too seriously, just run with them. What they really value is the midterm elections!
But now the midterm elections are very likely to be one-sided, and the whole United States will be blue, which is rare in history! (On the election map, the Republican Party is red and the Democratic Party is blue)
There is no way, the Republican Party has always been inclined to traditional oil energy and does not trust new energy at all. For example, the southern states are basically red. Those are states rich in oil resources, and there is basically no market for new energy in these states.
Even Stark Group's business promotion in the southern states is very difficult.
But as the peace talks were reached, environmental awareness in the United States suddenly exploded... This left the Republican Party no time to change its campaign strategy.
Perhaps the happiest person is President Benjamin, after all, he may be one of the few presidents in history who can make the whole United States unanimous. This will undoubtedly greatly increase his voice in both houses of Congress. Although it is impossible for a party to fully support the president, this is definitely much better than when there were two parties!
This undoubtedly greatly strengthens the president's power!
President Benjamin was originally depressed that SHIELD had become stronger again, but in the blink of an eye, such a big gift was delivered to him, so he naturally had to accept it with a smile.
...
"Why did you come to New York?" Kai looked at the woman in front of him and was very surprised.
After Kai came back from the bottom of the sea, he returned to New York in a low-key manner. Few people even knew that Kai played a role in this incident. Of course, Kai only thought that he played a role. Of course, this does not mean that Kai is completely fine. On the contrary, he has been very busy recently.
First of all, the discovery of the inner world is an extremely important thing for the great guardian, and Kai must communicate with Gu Yi. The fact that Kai could enter the center of the earth so nonsensically was enough to show that there must be something wrong with the seal of the center of the earth. He needed Gu Yi to give a professional assessment, and he knew nothing about it.
Gu Yi also attached great importance to this, and she wanted to teleport to the center of the earth as soon as possible.
As a result, the teleportation failed, no matter what method was used.
For this reason, Gu Yi has begun to prepare to enter the center of the earth from the whirlpool of the Trench Clan.
But then, she found that it seemed unnecessary.
Because Kai had obtained the "Chalk Shield" from Camelot before, which was the artifact shield made of the round table of the Knights of the Round Table. After Kai came back, he carefully studied this artifact. Kai could unfold this artifact and return to the already distant ideal city-Camelot.
The reason why they did not go immediately was because they had to solve another problem, that is, how to get out after entering...
Kai did not have a good solution for this.
He could only rely on the Neptune Trident of Sea King Arthur!
As for the restriction that the Trident of Neptune can only be used by the king of Atlantis... it doesn't apply to Kai, after all, Kai is a true friend of Poseidon.
Good brothers are loyal.
The Neptune Trident does not exclude Kai from using it.
Arthur didn't care about it originally. He was very generous and expressed his willingness to lend the Neptune Trident to Kai on the spot.
But he was stopped by Atlanna and Vico.
It's not that they are stingy, especially Atlanna. Their affair is put aside. Just talking about Kai's identity, she can't refuse.
The real reason why they can't lend the Neptune Trident is to take into account the feelings of the people of Atlantis.
The fact that this thing can be held by Arthur is the limit that all Atlanteans can accept. Anyway, Arthur also has half of the Atlantean royal blood. But Kai... no matter how you look at it, he is a human being.
Don't say that he is a figure from the mythological era. It's strange that others will believe such nonsense!
So before the underwater tour exhibition, it's better not to have any accidents with the Neptune Trident.
That's right, Arthur has been busy touring various places under the sea recently... just like what Captain America did during World War II. In order to eliminate the barriers between the seabed and the land, Arthur, the goodwill ambassador, must tour with the Neptune Trident.
With the Neptune Trident, people will believe Arthur's words!
Otherwise, who knows who he is.
So, everyone is waiting for Arthur's underwater tour to end.
They can go in first, and then wait for Arthur to finish everything and go back to save them.
However, entering the center of the earth from the vortex is still dangerous. And who knows what will happen after entering, and it will be bad if you can't retreat at that time.
So it's better to be safe. It just so happens that the Ancient One also needs time to deal with the chaos that has not been resolved yet, and sort out some of the information left by the Supreme Sorcerer before, so as to better explore and maintain the center of the earth.
But Kai never thought that it would be Meira who sent the Neptune Trident in the end.
"What? Arthur is not available to come?"
Meira was wearing a Bohemian outfit, looking pure and charming. This woman knows how to dress very well.
She presented the Neptune Trident to Kai.
"He is accompanying his parents."
Speaking of this, Kai was a little embarrassed.
Thomas waited for decades and finally saw the moon, but he and Atlanna were destined not to be together. Even after the sacrifice, Atlanna returned to the throne, but neither the people nor the nobles could accept a human prince.
At the same time, in order to ease the confrontation between the underwater world and the land world, Atlanna had to make concessions.
She could no longer set foot on land!
But she could only go ashore and meet Thomas during these three days every year.
It was also the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the Marvel world.
This made Kai feel that he was a bit of a bully and a rapist, but Atlanna was very open about it. She was not ashamed of the little thing between her and Kai, nor did she reduce her love for Thomas.
On the contrary, she seemed very natural, and nothing happened between her and Kai, as if it was a dream.
Kai was not too disappointed about this. Cao thieves and the like, occasionally in the dead of night, it was quite exciting to think about it, but it was really a test of one's psychological quality.
"Well, it's good to accompany my parents."
Kai did not comment too much on this matter.
Meila did not say anything, but her smile seemed to have a lot of meaning, but it seemed to be useless. Kai was not easy to ask.
Kai grabbed the trident and put it directly into the king's treasure.
"Then why did you come to me?" Kai asked directly.
Kai didn't think Meila would be so free to send him a divine weapon. Although Atlanna and Arthur both trusted Meila, Kai and Vico were wary of this woman, especially Vico was very wary of this woman.
Kai and Vico had similar ideas. They didn't believe that the heir of a country could be so naive to go against his country for his own "beliefs"!
Kai is a person who simply doesn't believe in playing politics, while Vico knows very well that Meila has received a complete imperial education. How can such a person have such a saintly heart?
If that were the case, the Kingdom of Zebel would have abolished this princess long ago.
Meila was not surprised that Kai would doubt herself. In fact, people with a keen mind can figure out many things as long as they observe. Only Arthur was stupid enough not to feel that Atlanna might know something, but she didn't show it for many reasons. After all, Meila may have many plans, but none of them have been implemented. There is no reason to resent others for something they haven't done, right? Besides, no matter what, Meila did save Arthur and did help Arthur find the Neptune Trident!
In short, others have done all kinds of favors to Arthur. If you alienate or even blame her just because of a guess, it is not justifiable. Not only is it not justifiable morally, it will also cause dissatisfaction in the Kingdom of Zebel, which is creating disunity.
Meila threw her red hair behind her and sat in a chair relaxedly, not feeling nervous at all.
"Don't doubt me, Mr. Wayne. At least I am sincere about maintaining peace with the land people." Meila really didn't think she was wrong. Isn't it just calculation between countries? Is it really true to be true to each other? That country is really pitiful.
Daiying and Yingjiang are still of the same lineage. After World War II, Yingjiang didn't make Daiying vomit three liters of blood. In fact, it was not only after World War II, but in fact, during World War II, Yingjiang cheated Daiying. Do you think Roosevelt really gave Daiying arms because of humanitarianism? What was he thinking?
You have to know that Roosevelt did lend money to Daiying, but the price was all of Daiying's overseas military bases!
After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, Yingjiang did not show any mercy to Daiying. It can be said that the rise of Yingjiang is the nutrition absorbed from the ruins of Daiying.
Kai did not object to Meila's words. Although he was wary of Meila, he was not as extreme as Vico. After all, even if Meila did anything to the Kingdom of Atlantis, it had nothing to do with him, Kai.
Would you be angry because the United States, Britain and Australia joined forces to cheat France?
Of course not, Kai would just move a bench and sit and watch the show!
"So why are you looking for me..."
"We in the Kingdom of Zebel just want to establish a communication channel with you."
"???" Kai tilted his head and looked at Meila, he didn't quite understand.
Meila didn't explain clearly: "It's just to be prepared. We in Zebel believe that you have the strength that we respect. In the future world, our Kingdom of Zebel will deal with humans more and more, and we need to maintain good relations with some people with great reputation among humans."
Meila and Nereus are both very good politicians. Unlike other Atlanteans, they believe that since they have reached a peace agreement with the land people, then life will naturally return to the past, and everyone will not interfere with each other.
They can see clearly that this sea-land conflict has completely exposed the existence of Atlantis. The time when Atlantis wanted to return to its own life in the future is gone forever.
Since the new situation has been formed, why don't they take the initiative to adapt?
Kai still didn't quite understand: "If you really want to maintain a good relationship with the human world, you can go to the authorities, right?"
"We don't trust them. I've participated in the negotiations, and I can see greed, disgust, fear and rejection in the eyes of those politicians. In fact, I noticed that we don't have a good reputation among humans."
Of course not, who would have a good impression of a group of invaders who attacked their coastline at the slightest disagreement?
So in general, many people are not very friendly to the Atlanteans in public opinion, and there are even many people who are not afraid of talking without any pain. They are dissatisfied with the joint negotiations of various countries and think it is too weak. They clamor to fight Atlantis to the death.
Most of those who say these things will not go to the battlefield. Their clamor is just empty talk. If they are really asked to charge with guns, they will definitely shrink faster than anyone else!
"If we rashly contact those politicians, perhaps the results we get will disappoint us all. Instead of that, we might as well establish contact with you superheroes to open up the situation."
The Kingdom of Zebel does not need to have any economic and trade exchanges with land countries, at least not at this stage.
In this case, they don't care much about those official organizations, so as not to leave a wrong impression on them. And after this period of time of understanding the human world on land, they found that superheroes have a very high reputation in this world.
In any case, the cost of maintaining a relationship with a superhero is much lower than the cost of maintaining a relationship with a country!
