, countries frantically developed all kinds of space technology and rushed to establish a base on Mars.
In the end, all 195 countries established the Earth Alliance and jointly developed Mars.” Xu Jingming nodded.
“Establishing the Earth Alliance to develop Mars was the biggest thing in the past few decades.
I wonder what it will be this time.”

“There are many discussions on the Internet, but no information has been leaked.
It’s in a state of complete secrecy.” Li Miaomiao also paid attention to the news.

The level of confidentiality is very high. Xu Jingming looked forward to it.
“Let’s watch the live broadcast in three days.”

******

The entire world was stirred by this press conference.
Most of the talk on the Internet was about the upcoming press conference since such a major development only happened once in the past century—the establishment of the Earth Alliance.

What would it be this time?

Time passed day by day until it was July 21st.
At 8:55 p.m., Beijing, China.

“The live broadcast is going to begin soon.”

“I wonder what’s so important.”

In Xu Jingming’s new house, Grandpa Xu, Xu Jingming’s parents, Li Miaomiao’s parents, Xu Jingming, and Li Miaomiao were gathered in the living room.
The projection was already on the global live-stream page.

…

Beijing, at Liu Hai’s residence.

“Dad, do you know what this global live broadcast is about?” A large number of family members had gathered at Liu Hai’s residence.
They were also waiting for the global live broadcast to air.

“I’m not sure either.
The level of confidentiality is very high,” Liu Hai sat there and said, “Don’t worry.
It will be officially announced in a few minutes.
We’ll know once it’s announced.”

Although Liu Hai didn’t know, he had heard it from the top: “The National Patronage List is related to the global live-stream conference on July 21.”

…

“What’s going on with the global live broadcast?”

The Cheng family was also gathered.
They consisted of the family head—Cheng Liwei—his wife, the family of Cheng Zitao, their eldest son, and their second son, Cheng Zihao.

“Dad, you don’t know what this press conference is about even with your network?” Cheng Zihao ate a banana on the sofa with his legs crossed.

His father, Cheng Liwei, helmed the Tiger Shark Group, a megacorporation with a market capitalization of five trillion yuan.
His influence could very well be greater than the heads of some small countries.
It was obvious that a secret that even he didn’t know had extremely high confidentiality.

“I don’t know,” Cheng Liwei said seriously.
“I’ve asked around.
It’s said that all 195 countries will do a joint release, but in fact, most heads of state don’t know what it is about.
Only the 32 members of the Alliance know the secret.”

The Earth Alliance’s Five Council Members decided on most matters.
Even if it was a major matter that decided the fate of the world, just 32 member countries could make the decision.
As for the smaller countries? They only had representation in the alliance with no say in any matters.
They only had the right to follow the alliance’s decisions.

“If it affects the fate of humans worldwide, it will also affect the fate of our Tiger Shark Group,” Cheng Liwei said.
“Pay attention to the press conference.”

Cheng Zitong and Cheng Zihao also watched attentively.

The Tiger Sharp Group benefited from the increased exchanges between countries back when the Earth Alliance was established.
It allowed them to establish branch offices all across the globe.

A powerful corporation needed to keep its finger on the pulse of the world and follow it.

…

At this moment, in China, EU, the United States of America, India, Japan, and many other countries around the world—be it day or night, wealthy or poor, more than half the world’s population was tuned into this live broadcast.

All entertainment on the Internet had been halted.
All the live-streaming platforms, video platforms, and all the official media outlets only had one program no matter how one switched channels: this global live-streamed press conference!

Even the big screens and billboards on the streets were broadcasting this press conference.
It was very difficult for people living on this planet not to know about this live broadcast.

“It’s about to begin!”

Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, and the rest of the family sat in the living room and watched the live-stream.

The live broadcast showed all 195 national representatives seated.
Sitting at the head of the table was Angus, the current secretary general of the Earth Alliance.

“I’m very honored today to be able to host this press conference because it will be one that will enter the annals of human history,” Secretary General Angus said with a smile.
He spoke in English, but every media in China broadcasted in Mandarin.

For Japan, it was Japanese…

Every country heard their lingua franca.
