162: Chapter 160 Abolishing Global Nuclear Weapons: The Minds of Various Countries

"This meal will fill you up."

This promise was not only for the two Titan Beasts, but also a silent declaration to the Dragon Kingdom and even all of humanity.

The next morning, the Dragon Kingdom's Ministry of National Defense officially released a global announcement.

The wording was rigorous, yet every word revealed an unprecedented determination.

The announcement stated that to cope with the arrival of the three kings of the abyss in one year, the Dragon Kingdom would launch a "Kindling Plan"—calling on all countries around the world to donate their nuclear weapons, nuclear materials, and fuel rods from strategic nuclear facilities, and anything else related to nuclear radiation! This was to provide for the "final guardian of humanity" to complete its ultimate evolution.

The announcement emphasized that this move was not a request, but an inevitable choice for the continuation of all human civilization. The Dragon Kingdom would lead by example and exhaust all its nuclear reserves.

Once this announcement was released, global public opinion instantly boiled over.

"What?! Hand over everything related to nuclear power?"

"Has the Dragon Kingdom gone mad?!"

"Is this self-inflicted disarmament?!"

"Is the world about to enter a nuclear-free era?"

"Damn... damn, if Godzilla absorbs everything related to nuclear power from around the world, he should be able to evolve, right?"

"..."

On social media, all kinds of news surged like a tide, quickly occupying all major headlines.

People from all countries went from shock to panic, and then to intense debate. Some believed that the Dragon Kingdom's move was absolute madness, placing the fate of humanity entirely on a "monster," which was no different from drinking poison to quench thirst.

Others, especially after witnessing the combat power of Godzilla and Mothra in the Abyss World, vaguely realized that in the face of beings like the three kings of the abyss that transcended cognition, traditional nuclear deterrence might truly have lost its meaning.

Eagle Country, White House. The atmosphere in the President's office was unimaginably heavy.

On the screen was the real-time translation of the Dragon Kingdom's announcement.

"Kindling Plan... gather everything related to nuclear power..." The President chewed over these words repeatedly, his brows tightly locked.

"Everyone, what are your thoughts on this?"

The next second, the President looked around, his gaze falling on the Minister of National Defense.

The Minister of National Defense's face was livid, and he said in a hoarse voice, "This is simply a fantasy. If everything related to nuclear power is handed over, we won't be able to manufacture nuclear weapons anymore. This is impossible."

"But if the three kings of the abyss arrive, will we even have a country left to speak of?"

Dr. William pushed up his glasses, his tone calm to the point of being cold, "Although Mechagodzilla has made progress, it still requires a vast amount of time and resources to reach a level capable of contending with the Master of the Abyss. The Dragon Kingdom's move is undoubtedly pushing our only hope to the extreme in the most direct way. This is a gamble, but it is also the only card currently showing any chance of winning."

"The Doctor speaks lightly!"

A general slammed the table and stood up, "If we can't even manufacture nuclear weapons in the future, how will other countries view us? The Dragon Kingdom has Godzilla, while we have nothing. Even if the abyss threat is resolved, this will completely shatter the global strategic balance!"

The President fell into deep thought.

He knew deeply that the Dragon Kingdom's move had completely torn away the fig leaf of "nuclear deterrence," laying the survival crisis of human civilization nakedly before all countries.

He recalled the terrifying size displayed by Godzilla and Mothra during Luo Yu's "half-day" visit, as well as the roar that was enough to shake the entire city. Now, he was undoubtedly in a dilemma!!

"Don't be in a hurry to reject it yet."

The President spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of exhaustion, "The Dragon Kingdom's move is by no means an impulsive act. Since they dare to lead by example, they must have their own considerations. Contact the Northern Border Federation and the Western European Alliance immediately to convene an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. But remember, our attitude cannot be a direct refusal."

Meanwhile, in the Northern Border Federation. Inside The Kremlin, the President and the Minister of National Defense were also wearing complex expressions in the face of the Dragon Kingdom's announcement.

"The Dragon Kingdom is... burning its bridges."

The President rubbed his chin, a shrewd light flashing in his eyes, and said, "To bet all the chips on that Titan Beast, the courage is astounding."

The Minister of National Defense looked serious, "Mr. President, our nuclear reserves are the last line of defense against external aggression. Once handed over, we will face huge security risks."

"Risk? Compared to the three kings of the abyss, what is risk?"

The President sneered, "Those three monsters could destroy a small country with a single blow. How much damage can our nuclear bombs cause them? Luo Yu was right; perhaps they are just their 'after-dinner dessert'."

He stood up and walked to the huge world map, "The Dragon Kingdom's move has forced us into a desperate situation. Either we share this risk and bet on the future of humanity, or we fight alone and wait to be swallowed by the abyss."

"I believe that a wise nation will make the right choice."

Western European Alliance, headquarters. Inside the Presidium conference room, representatives from various countries argued fiercely, but no one could offer an effective rebuttal.

The Dragon Kingdom's announcement was like a bombshell, completely shattering the last shred of luck in their hearts.

"What else can we do?"

The French Representative leaned back in his chair dejectedly, "If we even hand over the nuclear materials, we won't be able to manufacture nuclear weapons in the future."

"Although the Dragon Kingdom's move is radical, logically speaking, it is not without reason."

The German Representative pushed up his glasses and analyzed calmly, "Rather than using scattered, potentially ineffective nuclear power as fodder for the Abyssal Giant Beast, it is better to concentrate it to support an entity that can truly contend with them. This is the choice that maximizes efficiency."

"But this... this is too helpless, isn't it?"

The Italian Representative gritted his teeth and said, "If global nuclear weapons are abolished, the Dragon Kingdom still has Godzilla, but we will have nothing left, not even the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons."

"Fate is no longer in our hands."

The Chairman interrupted in a deep voice, "When the phantoms of the three kings of the abyss arrived, when the wormhole collapsed, and when Luo Yu and Godzilla turned the tide, the fate of humanity was already tied to them. What we can do now is not to complain, but to try our best to strive for a glimmer of survival."

In the end, after more than a dozen hours of emergency consultation, the three major global powers—Eagle Country, the Northern Border Federation, and the Western European Alliance—reached a preliminary consensus: they would respond to the Dragon Kingdom's "Kindling Plan," but not accept it in its entirety.

In a joint statement, these three alliances stated that considering their respective countries' special security needs and the complexity of the global strategic balance, they decided to provide the Dragon Kingdom with all of their nuclear weapon reserves, but... nuclear materials and such would not be handed over.

At the same time, they would send the highest-level delegations to the Dragon Kingdom to conduct in-depth negotiations on the details of the "Kindling Plan" and subsequent global defense cooperation.

This compromise both expressed support for the Dragon Kingdom's "Kindling Plan" and retained their respective capabilities to manufacture nuclear deterrence, attempting to seek a "compromise" balance amidst the crisis. However, they did not know how Luo Yu would react to this "compromise."
