Alec Norton, the representative of the White Eagle Kingdom, finished his speech.
The atmosphere in the venue dropped to freezing point.
No one had expected that the White Eagle Kingdom would come with a clear purpose.
"I request to temporarily suspend the meeting.”
The meeting was temporarily suspended.
The representative of the Dragon Country, Luo Yong, and the others returned to the lounge.
He had already expected that the White Eagle Empire would be aggressive in this meeting.
However, such a hooligan was unexpected.
Luo Yong absolutely believed that if he rejected the White Eagle Country's request on the spot, the Dragon Country would provide no less than 2 billion USD in research and development funds.
The White Eagle Kingdom would definitely apply for arbitration to kick the Dragon Kingdom out.
Luo Yong was mentally prepared to come. But before confirming, he still needed to report the situation.
Hence, a satellite phone call was made to China.
He quickly received a response.
The attitude given by the higher-ups was a rejection!
No matter what the conditions were, he would reject them all!
Xu Anshan, the Minister of Energy of the Dragon Country, who was also in charge of this meeting, said,"Now?"
"No hurry, let those bastards wait a little longer." Wang Yong scolded.”
Xu Anshan recalled how difficult it had been for the Dragon Country to develop its energy resources over the years and sighed."Now, all our hopes are on that child.”
Logically speaking, he didn't want to quit iter.
He had paid such a huge price to join them back then. If he really withdrew now, not only would it mean that all his efforts had been in vain.
It also meant that the cooperation between many domestic research institutions and iter member countries would be terminated.
It was delayed for an hour.
Luo Yong and Xu Anshan arrived at the meeting room.
The two of them sat down and the meeting continued.
Alec Norton struck first."We have given you enough time. If you continue to refuse to fulfill this obligation, we will apply to the board of directors for an arbitration vote on the withdrawal of the Dragon Country's personnel from iter..."
As soon as Alec Norton finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the conference room.
Although most people had already guessed this scene before this.
However, none of the participants had expected that the White Eagle Kingdom's representative would make his threat so obvious.
If you don't accept it, then I'll vote to kick you out.
This did not leave any room for negotiation for the representatives of the Dragon Country.
Everyone present knew how great the losses would be if the Dragon Country withdrew.
If the Dragon Country withdrew from the iter plan, it meant that the previous investment and subsequent investment would be in vain.
The domestic research institutes that were responsible for the iter project would also have their exchanges with foreign research institutes interrupted.
In addition to the research losses, there were also many companies responsible for these projects.
Those orders worth billions would eventually be replaced by companies from other member states.
From a scientific point of view, this was a heavy blow.
He ignored the commotion around him.
Luo Yong supported himself on the table with both hands and slowly stood up. His voice was low but contained absolute determination."We refuse."
It was an unexpected answer, but Alec Norton was not surprised.
This was because he had expected that the representative of the Dragon Country might refute this question.
He would also fight back, but no matter how much they argued, the final result would not change.
Who knew that just as Alec Norton was about to vote…
Luo Yong, who had yet to sit down, continued to speak, blocking the words that were already at the tip of his tongue.
"Under the conditions of equality and mutual trust, we have always fulfilled our obligations and responsibilities in the organization.”
"On the contrary, your side has been vague and full of nonsense.”
"In that case, there's no need to waste any more time.”
Speaking up to this point, Luo Yong straightened his collar and exchanged glances with the other Dragon Country representatives.
In the end, he faced the venue and said unhurriedly.
"I announce this on behalf of the Foreign Teacher Department."
"From now on, the Dragon Country officially withdraws from iter!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Instantly, the entire venue fell silent, terrifyingly quiet.
Luo Yong's gaze landed on Alec Norton, and he said in a teasing tone that he did not hide at all,""You can keep this meeting for yourselves.”
Looking at the representatives of the Dragon Country who stood up and left, the chairman of iter was dumbfounded.
She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
Alec Norton was the same. He was stunned.
According to the original procedure, they should have voted to invite the representative of the Dragon Country out of the meeting.
However, she did not expect that before the voting segment even started, she would leave on her own.
The commotion spread throughout the meeting room.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Looking at the empty seats, for some reason, the representatives of the White Eagle Kingdom felt a little nervous.
They had already achieved their goal, and they had achieved it so easily.
This should be something that made them happy.
Could it be…
The Dragon Country has already completed the key technology of controllable fusion?
The super prodigy and the ark reactor were real?
No, this was impossible…
Not only the delegation of the White Eagle Kingdom,
Even the representatives from other countries were puzzled.
In order to enter iter, the Dragon Country had spent so much money back then, and they had invested so much money over the years.
Why did he retreat now?
Even if the conditions proposed by the White Eagle Kingdom were a little overboard, they even threatened them.
But if you want to refute, you should talk about it.
Without saying a word, he directly refused to leave.
When did the Dragon Country become so domineering in terms of technology negotiations?
The Dragon Country's delegation left.
However, the meeting still had to continue.
The director of iter announced the next topic.
Except, everyone's thoughts drifted along with Luo Yong and the rest's departure.
(The author has to ask, are there any brothers watching?) Give me some power.)
