Chapter 986 - First U.N Meeting In History
Landon and Micheal spoke seriously, with Astar adding his thoughts here and there.
And over the next few days, Baymard welcomed many official guests, all coming here for one thing.
The First United Nations Meeting in the History Of Hertfilia!
Time moved quickly, and before everyone knew it, The historical day had come.
Today, countless news reporters popped out of the scene, preparing their equipment and tools for streaming live.
At the same time, many who were off work or had finished their examinations, all focused on this great meeting.
This was the longest meeting in the history of meetings?
Why? Because it was 2 and a half days long.
And each day, those in the meetings would have to sit there for at least 8 hours.
They had also printed out the agenda for these meetings, so that everyone interested in watching could just watch the segment that they wanted to at home.
After all, it was impossible for civilians in their homes to just sit there for hours and hours, listening through every last segment.
Another key thing to note was that on the third day, rather than 8 long hours, they would only stay there for 4... That's why the total meeting time was 2 and a half days.
Anyway, on the last day, everything was to be kept confidential.
Meaning it would be get broadcasted, and whatever got discussed there would only remain there.
Many speculated that it would most probably be about war or certain enemies that they didn't want the public or even spies to know about.
Undoubtedly, many spies who just so happen to be here might try their best to sneak in and listen to whatever was said.
So security on that day would get tripled.
.
As for the U.N meeting, it was only 2 and a half days long, because there weren't countries involved to partake in the general debate or make conclusions on pressing matters.
In fact, Landon predicted that these 2 and a half days should be a little too much.
A typical U.N annual meeting runs through for 9 whole days uninterrupted, with people spending 11~12 hours in these meetings.
However, back on earth, many times, 7 days are sufficient enough to accommodate all speakers and representatives of various countries.
So with only 5 empires kicking things off, it shouldn't be too long.
But in future, as more empires join in, the days would increase from 2 and a half to whatever was needed to accommodate everyone.
That said, it was important to know that the U.N had 3 main types of sessions.
•Regular sessions: which ran almost throughout the year by the various representatives of different empires.
Those who got appointed as representatives, could attend the meeting for their Monarchs.
In fact, Landon and the rest had already been holding such meetings like the time they met to start planning for the ship transportation within the various empires.
•General Debate: This was the one Landon is holding now with the various Monarchs and government officials to raise issues or topics they feel are important.
•Special sessions: for nations that want urgent assistance like helping during war crises.
.
Well, those were how these things would go from here on out.
Of course, the Monarchs could attend as many meetings as they wanted or assign those to their representatives. But this one was a must.
Now, with everything set and ready to go, Landon and his gang headed towards the official United Nations Assembly Building.
And the moment they arrived, several news reporters rushed to the scene.
But of course, they were stopped by the bodyguards, who made sure that they all entered safely.
Sirius came alongside his most trusted Yodan government officials, while Henry was here with his Deifer officials too.
Micheal's other son, Raul Parcely, also tagged along with him and Astar, since the boy had been staying here in Baymard all this time and acted as one of the Teriquen ambassadors and representatives all this time.
Of course Penelope, Santa and Carmelo came with their own people... and William, alongside his mother Mona, and a few others were here as well.
The entire gang took their seats around the massive assembly, while looking as professional as ever.
After all, the cameras were in them all the time.
Landon looked at his watch and smiled.
9 A.M on the dot.
And so it began.
.
Firstly, the host welcomed everyone briefly before calling onto the stage, 3 of the most popular musicians dazzled everyone with her song of {We Are The World}.
"Please welcome, BNFA-Goodwill ambassador, devoted advocate for children's rights and renowned singers; Angelica Malvina, Jamil Gueno and Kilan Tuvo."
~Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap.
All 3 stepped forward, wearing immaculate white attire while raising their microphones close to their mouths.
"We live in a world in which many of those who need help, are never attended to."
"But, things should never be this way.
It is up to us, to help eradicate poverty, bring justice, equality and understanding amongst ourselves."
"That is why we proudly stand here, to sing this song for all to hear."
All three said, with warm smiles on their faces.
Instantly, the lights dimmed, and the instrumentals echoed out.
Additionally, there seemed to be some images projected out on the walls.
~There comes a time, when we heed a certain call... when the world must come together as one.~
...
As the song progressed, the images projected changed yet again, revealing all sorts of touching images, making many cry.
They saw children being rescued, some of whom were almost as thin as bones.
Others on the projected images, cried and thanked the Baymardians who gave them food.
Some played soccer with the Baymardians and even felt fortunate to receive something as ordinary as a blanket.
Everyone's heart shook bitterly while watching these scenes.
How can they help in making this world better?
Soon, the images cut to an old man, who could now stand up again after surgery and rehabilitation.
In short, there were so many scenes that got displayed within the duration of the song.
But the one that struck many was the little burnt girl who held out a flower, smiling warmly at the camera despite her condition.
Many watching from their Tvs crowd painfully at how strong the girl was trying to be.
William's mother, Mona, was fighting back her tears too.
She felt more pumped up to help set this world right.
The men were also deeply touched… especially Henry, who pinched his arm to force his tears back.
Everyone secretly swore to make changes to their empire and get better.
The message from the song couldn't be clearer.
We Are The World!
