Verbal threats were the weakest weapon. The higher the level of negotiation, the more the statement pertained.
When Ye Yunfei intentionally or unintentionally used a threatening tone to point out the forthcoming United Nations summit on the rational development of outer space, it was nothing more than stating an implied point—"If you don't cooperate, we won't cooperate in the summit when issues of the space elevator are brought up."
However, would Jiang Chen be afraid of this?
Even if the United Nations ordered him to hand over the space elevator and co-manage it with the international community, he possessed the ability to refuse. More specifically, the United Nations wouldn't make such a shameless demand. If there was no legal basis, it wouldn't be possible to set a precedent for daylight robbery.
