Chapter 29: The Situation of All Parties

  The global disaster brought by this meteorite has passed for ten days, and the world is still under the aftermath of the meteorite.

  First, there were hundreds of high-tech artificial satellites in space, most of which were unfortunately destroyed and turned into a pile of space junk at the first time when the meteor shower hit the Earth. Now, only less than ten satellites that luckily survived are left in the entire orbit of the Earth.

  Due to the massive destruction of satellites, most global communications were paralyzed, which also dealt a severe blow to countries around the world entering the information age.

  The country where Mucun Star is located is very lucky, and three satellites survived the meteorite attack this time. Two of them are communication satellites and one is a navigation satellite. This is also why the disaster area in Lushan City can conduct live broadcasts via satellite.

  As for the surviving satellites of other countries, the United States, which once had the most satellites, now has only one weather satellite left in space after the meteor shower. On the European side, only one communication satellite from France survived, while on the Russian side, there is a reconnaissance satellite and a scientific research satellite.

  All of these add up to the total number of satellites that humans now possess. It's as if people have retreated back to an era before the invention of satellites overnight.

  Following the world's extreme climate, various extreme weather conditions have appeared all over the world, resulting in heavy rain or heavy snow everywhere.

  But this is still not the most serious disaster. The most serious thing now is being discussed by governments of all countries at the United Nations.

  ······························

  The United Nations held an emergency special meeting to discuss ways to address the disaster, and for a time the entire UN General Assembly hall was in chaos like a vegetable market. Most members started arguing with each other.

  The focus of debate among representatives from various countries here has surprisingly become extremely rare, with each country vying to be the first to dispatch a UN security team.

  Due to this incident, massive casualties have appeared all over the place. What's even worse is that with the continuous emergence of strange creatures in the meteorite disaster area, the number of casualties has increased dramatically. Many areas are now out of control and chaotic, with the number of monsters increasing day by day, and the number of casualties in those areas is also rising steadily.

  Now, at this critical juncture, various countries have suddenly remembered that there is still the United Nations, a large organization that can dispatch UN peacekeeping forces to provide assistance. Therefore, representatives of these countries convened an emergency meeting in the UN General Assembly Hall to discuss the immediate deployment of UN peacekeeping forces to disaster-stricken areas.

  However, there were serious differences of opinion on whether a UN peacekeeping force should be dispatched to the region first.

  This time, the European countries were the most enthusiastic about forming a peacekeeping force. Their representatives were jumping up and down in the United Nations, constantly requesting that the UN send people over immediately. Now, their place is one of the worst-hit areas with the most monsters appearing.

  However, other continents immediately disagreed. Now everyone is a disaster area. Why should one European country send peacekeeping troops to Europe first?

  In the past, Europe was the region with the most developed countries in the world. At that time, other countries had no choice but to follow the arrangements of these Western countries, otherwise various arbitrations would have emerged one after another.

  However, this time Europe was the most severely damaged area by the meteorite. The economic and military strength of those developed countries have been greatly weakened. All other countries will not give them face at this time.

  Most of these countries that refused to give in to Europe were small nations or representatives of countries with more severe disasters.

  As for the world's three major powers, they unexpectedly did not easily express any opinions or views.

  The United States, the world's policeman who usually likes to send troops everywhere, chose not to speak lightly this time. Although the US mainland was also hit by some meteorites and some monsters appeared, they were quickly extinguished by government forces.

  And the US government has also begun to withdraw its large number of elite troops overseas back home, and now they are also preparing to maintain stability in their old nest at the first time.

  On the Russian side, this giant polar bear suffered some losses in this meteorite attack. However, relying on its unique environment of vast land and sparse population, they also successfully solved all the monsters, making the entire country's order still stable.

  China was even luckier, as the number of meteorites that fell in East Asia was originally the smallest, and the appearance of monsters was also the least. Most of those monsters were easily wiped out by the military.

  The three major powers in the world are very clear that if they really want to form a UN peacekeeping force, they will definitely send troops. However, none of them want to intervene in other countries' affairs now. Because this matter is too special, the three countries have chosen to wait and see without prior consultation.

  ·····························

  After several days of discussion, the world finally began to appear in the following different situations.

  Latin America also saw a surge in monster appearances, although not as severe as Europe. The US government, which had always considered Latin America its backyard, immediately responded to the request for assistance and dispatched troops to help the countries of Latin America carry out eradication activities.

  As for the former European allies, the entire Europe has become a mess that no one wants to deal with, where all kinds of monsters are rampant. Although NATO forces in Northern Europe have the right to eliminate these monsters, they only seem to multiply after being eliminated.

  NATO forces, on the other hand, suffered heavy losses after several encounters with the monsters. The US government is not stupid and will not send its precious troops to Europe to die.

  In the past, Europe may have been rescued by the US due to economic and strategic reasons. However, now Europe has been ravaged by massive meteorites, with most cities turned into ruins. Just restoring the economy in those areas would be a costly endeavor, with no profit to be made. Moreover, it's not like Russia is invading the Western world, posing little threat to it.

  All the meteorites are now carrying a large amount of high radiation, and this matter has been widely known to the public. The US government is even more unlikely to easily send its troops to Europe, which is full of radiation, to die, otherwise the current government will be overthrown by the American people immediately.

  Seeing that their former iron-clad ally, the United States, had made it clear that they would not provide assistance, the European countries could only turn to their former adversary, Russia, for help. Although Russia's long-held desire was to extend its influence into the heart of Europe, they too began to feign ignorance as they saw that the entire European region, except for the Nordic countries and themselves, had become a high-radiation danger zone.

  As for the last permanent member of the Security Council with strong military power, China, it's not a joke that it is not an ally of Europe, but it is so far away. So this matter also came to nothing.

  In the end, with no other choice, the heavily damaged French government resorted to threatening to use nuclear weapons against the monsters in a scorched earth policy, deciding to blow up all of Europe's monsters.

  The Russians in the European region had to come out and take charge of forming an international rescue team, after all, their main cities and capitals are all in the European region. If the French really go crazy and start throwing nuclear weapons around, that's not a good omen at all.

  The United States saw the desperate situation of the French government and had no choice but to start agreeing to send a portion of its troops to Europe for rescue.

  As for the Chinese government, it's a pity that governments of various Asian countries unanimously demanded that if China wants to send troops for rescue operations, it should first do so in densely populated areas close to the continent. Faced with the tough attitude of Asian countries who are not afraid of death, European countries led by France had no choice but to abandon their request for China to dispatch troops to join the UN peacekeeping forces heading to Europe.

  In the African region, possibly due to the abundance of wild animals, it can be said that the variety of monsters is the richest. Now, various African countries are forming a UN peacekeeping force led by South Africa, starting large-scale clearing operations against those numerous monsters.

  In the Asian region, in Western Asia, due to the terrain being mostly desert areas, except for some cities that were hit by meteorites and had a small number of monsters appear, there was basically no major damage. The Gulf countries even relied on their previously purchased weapons from developed Western countries to smoothly eliminate most of the monsters.

  In Central Asia, with the help of Russian troops, although there were some local disturbances, they were quickly suppressed and the situation was brought under control.

  South Asia and Southeast Asia are the regions in Asia most severely affected by disasters.

  India, despite its large population and massive military, had most of its forces deployed along the borders with China and Pakistan, ever vigilant against its main adversaries. As a result, most of the meteorites landed in central India, followed by the emergence of monsters and mutants.

  All forces of the Indian government have been mobilized to eradicate this monstrous wave that is spreading rapidly in central region.

  Southeast Asia has a large number of tropical rainforests and many islands, so the types of monsters that appear here are second only to Africa. It is very difficult to carry out clearance operations, so these countries are also the most strongly opposed to France's proposal at the United Nations General Assembly to send a large number of Chinese troops to Europe for rescue operations. In their view, if China really wants to send troops for peacekeeping operations, it should first help neighboring countries in Asia before going to Europe for peacekeeping operations.

  In East Asia, the countries were extremely fortunate to have been hit by the fewest meteorites in this sudden disaster, so the losses were also the lightest, and social order was also the most stable.

  ······························

  About a month later, after the joint efforts of various countries, a large number of monsters were eliminated all over the world. According to statistics from various countries, it is estimated that the death toll caused by meteorites and monsters this time will exceed 120 million people, with 75% of deaths concentrated in Europe, and the highly developed Western world can be said to have been destroyed overnight.

  And the world situation has also turned over a new leaf.
