Chapter 496: Season 2 Book 20 Shadow of War – 2-4 Suspicious Movement
January 9th, 2024 at 21:00 (14:00 Latvia time),
The meeting room of the representative board of the EU headquarters in Latvia Riga.
Chairman Maris Felsix, chairman of the representative board, announced the start of the meeting by hitting the gavel once in a tense atmosphere with representatives from EU member states seated at a round table.
Tack!
“From now on, before voting on the economic sanctions against the Republic of Korea and NATO military participation, which were raised yesterday, we will allow member country representatives to speak freely in this regard. Representatives of Member States are invited to speak; please do so freely.”
As soon as Chairman Maris Felsix finished talking, German representative Minister Johan Hoffman was the first to raise his hand.
“I’ll go first.”
“Minister Hoffman! Please speak up.”
Then Minister Johan Hoffman stood up, looked at the representatives of the Member States, and spoke,
“Thank you very much, Chairman! Representatives from member states! In fact, I do not believe that this proposal can be decided after only one day of discussion with our countries. Our prime minister, of course, stated that this proposal is so important and serious that it should be decided by the summit board. In response, Germany officially requests that the chairman forward this proposal to the normal board of directors.”
Chairman Maris Felsix nodded as if she knew this,
“Minister Hoffman! You are aware that more than one-third of the member states must agree to move the proposal to a regular board of directors, right?”
“Yes, I know that well.”
“Then, Will you make an official request?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Okay. Is there anyone else who wants to speak?”
At this moment, the Secretary of State Main Johnson, who was sitting on one side, slightly crumpled and muttered to herself.
“That Damn bastard Hoffman is messing things up.”
“I’d like to say something.”
This time, Turkish representative Minister Rushti Jenkin raised his hand.
“Please speak.”
“The Turkish president also thinks that this proposal is a serious matter that should only be addressed by the normal board of directors .As such, Turkey as well agrees with Minister Hoffman request.”
“I’d like to say something as well.”
This time, Spanish representative Minister Pablo Sanchez raised his hand.
“Minister Sanchez, please speak.”
“Thank you. Chairman! I agree that it is a serious matter, but I do not believe it is necessary to transfer it to the normal board of directors as one day is more than enough to reach an agreement with the country’s leader. As a result, I oppose the transfer to the regular board of directors and ask that the votes be held as scheduled.”
“Italy agrees with that as well. Do we have to go to the normal board? What is the CEO board for if it cannot decide on issues like this?”
The Spanish and Italian representatives openly expressed their opposition to the transfer even before the official vote on the motion. Minister John Hoffman responded by raising his voice and saying,
“No! Do you realize the significance of this proposal? It is extremely serious, and it has the potential to escalate into World War III. Is there anything more serious than this?”
“Minister Hoffman! Isn’t that an overly extreme way of thinking? It’s not like many countries will clash; only Korea will have to face off against the others.”
Minister Pablo Sanchez responded indifferently, as if nothing could happen.
“Three years ago, the Republic of Korea emerged victorious from wars with China, Japan, and the United States. It is not a country to be underestimated.”
Secretary of State Maine Johnson, who had only been listening, quietly opened her mouth at this moment,
“May I say something? Chairman!”
“Well, if it’s related to the proposal, please speak.”
“Yes, thank you.”
After bowing slightly, she turned her head and looked at Minister Johann Hoffman and said,
“A few moments ago, Minister Hoffman stated that the United States also lost the war against the Republic of Korea, which is incorrect. In advance of world peace, the United States signed a peace treaty with the Republic of Korea to prevent the war from spreading. As a result, I’d like to go over this section thoroughly. Despite the fact that our country suffered significant damage on the mainland, we only agreed to sign the peace treaty for the sake of world peace. Three years later, however, the Republic of Korea is at war with neighboring countries once more. As a result, the Republic of Korea can be regarded as a protozoic country that endangers global peace and causes war. For this reason, my dear EU member states I’m proposing the same proposal as yesterday.”
As soon as she sat down after finishing her words, Turkish representative Minister Rushti Jenkin immediately raised an objection,
“Wasn’t China the cause of the war three years ago? Furthermore, it was Japan that formed an alliance with China and attacked the Republic of Korea. The same way that Russia started this war. The same is true for New China. Isn’t that correct? Please refrain from stating misleading facts. Maine Johnson, Secretary!”
“Did you say misleading facts?”
“Yes, you shouldn’t mislead something that is too obvious.”
“Haha, Turkey appears to have gotten a lot from South Korea. Seeing how you’re defending them to the point where blood vessels appear on your face.”
“What? You should not say words that doesn’t make any sense.”
“Looking at your rage, I’m guessing you’ve got a lot?”
In the past, Turkey could not even talk with the United States, but it is now a proud member of the EU, and it has recently grown significantly economically and militarily with the help of various subsidies from the Republic of Korea.
“Well, it is not good to be arrogant. Secretary of State!”
“Arrogant? What exactly do you mean? On the contrary, Turkey appears to have become arrogant?”
Tack! Tack! Tack!
“Stop! Stop! Stop, please.”
Chairman Maris Felsix knocked on the gavel and stopped the conversation when the words between them became too harsh.
“Two of you! Calm down. We’re in the middle of the meeting. Do you understand?”
“Chairperson! Before the meeting’s atmosphere deteriorates, I would like to request that the motion on the proposed transfer be voted on first.”
Chairman Maris Felsix secretly directed her gaze to Secretary of State Maine Johnson and shook her head as if there was nothing she could do in response to Minister Johan Hoffman’s words.
As a result, Minister Maine Johnson’s expression darkened.
“Now! First of all, we will vote on the motion to transfer the proposed case to the normal board of directors. Raise your hand if you agree with this.”
As soon as Chairman Maris Felsix finished speaking, the ministers started raising their hands here and there. Watching this, Secretary of State Maine Johnson shook her head.
There were ten representatives raised their hands out of the thirty representatives, so the motion was passed in less than three minute.
“I announce the results of the motion. There is a total of 10 people voted in favor of the transfer of the proposed agenda into the normal board of directors, so I declare that the motion has been passed.”
Tack! Tack! Tack!
As soon as Chairman Maris Felsix hit the gavel three times, Secretary of State Maine Johnson kicked her seat and left the room.
“Now that the proposal has been transferred to the normal board of directors, representatives of member states please deliver the results.”
According to EU regulations, a normal board of directors was supposed to be convened within a month if the proposal was transferred to the normal board.
“After checking the schedules of the leaders of each country, the normal board of directors will announce the date of the event tomorrow afternoon. If you don’t have anything else, I’ll wrap up the CEO’s board’s second meeting.”
Tack! Tack! Tack!

January 9th, 2024 at 22:00 (15:00 Latvia time),
Latvia Riga EU headquarters VIP reception room.
Secretary of State Maine Johnson, who left the conference room in anger, was on the phone with someone.
“I’m sorry. I did my best, but Germany interfered with it….”
“Yes, I see.”
“Then, I’ll hang up now.”
Secretary of State Maine Johnson, who was on the phone with her head bowed as if speaking with a superior, threw her smartphone to the table and buried herself on the sofa when the call ended.
“I can’t believe my nose run in the finished rice.”
The more she thought about it, the more angry she get. In fact, at today’s second meeting of the CEO’s board of directors, it would have been passed by more than half of the votes.
With the exception of Germany, France, and Turkey, she had already worked on all of the other countries. They were naturally appeased after receiving an irresistible bribe.
After the meeting, Chairman Maris Felsix entered the VIP reception room.
“What happened?”
Secretary of State Maine Johnson became enraged as soon as she saw the chairman, Maris Felsix, who sat on the sofa and responded,
“I’m sorry. I never thought that the German representative would take that measure.”
“As chairman, you should have expected that much.”
“So far, the CEO’s board has never submitted an agreement to transfer the proposal to the normal board.”
In fact, it was. No matter how serious the proposals were, the CEO’s board has made all decisions so far. Because transferring the proposed case to the normal board of directors could be interpreted as renunciation of the authority and rights granted to the position of representative. Who among politicians would give up the powers and rights that have been bestowed upon them?
For that reason, all EU policies and decisions have been made by the CEO’s board unless they are proposed by the normal board from the beginning.
“Chairman! When will you hold the summit meeting?”
“Nothing has yet been decided. According to the rules, it can only be held within one month. We will decide and announce the date tomorrow afternoon after checking the schedules of the leaders of each country by tomorrow morning.”
“Please hold it as soon as possible.”
“when you want it?”
“The sooner, the better. I hope it will be held within a week.”
“A week? Secretary of State Johnson! There are 30 countries that are members. And because the heads of the 30 countries have busy schedules, it is difficult to hold the event in a week.”
“No. You must hold the normal board meeting within a week and pass the proposal.”
“Oh, my.”
“Chairman, shouldn’t you do your best when you’re given something?”
“What? Hmm.”
Chairman Maris Felsix, who coughed several times after Secretary of State Maine Johnson’s threatening remarks, took out her smartphone and called somewhere.
– Yes, chairman!
“Check the schedules of the leaders of the member countries and adjust the schedule so that the summit can be held within a week.”
– What? A week? With the sudden summit meeting, even if I kill myself, it will be held within 20 days…..”
“Who doesn’t know that? Isn’t it because it’s urgent? Administrative Secretary! Coordinate it somehow!”
– Oh, okay..
