Chapter 266

The foreign ministry's statements from the Olive Branch Republic caused a massive stir in the contemporary world. As the world's most universal and authoritative international organization, the United Nations has always been committed to maintaining world peace and security. The Olive Branch Republic's nuclear weapons development program might be seen as a potential threat to global security, and the United Nations could therefore express concern through bodies like the Security Council and take corresponding actions—such as convening emergency sessions and passing resolutions—to urge the Olive Branch Republic to abandon its nuclear weapons development program and resolve disputes through peaceful negotiations. The International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations would also pay close attention, as its mandate is to ensure the peaceful use of nuclear energy and prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons. They sent emails demanding an investigation and monitoring of the Olive Branch Republic's nuclear activities to determine whether they complied with international non-proliferation guidelines. Facing all these ripples, Yang Xi remained completely calm. "Issue a statement to them," he said. "Tell them that the Olive Branch will halt its nuclear tests only when Country M stops its prior nuclear blackmail and makes a public commitment to never be the first to use nuclear weapons against the Olive Branch Republic!"
