ok...i'm confused.

gill said that it's hopeless. but then shinra made him tell a true story, that literally everyone already knew, and it succeeded?
how?

@Mogima

So far, Gill was only trying to buy votes by making the countries see the profit of their actions. Even when the countries sent troops to Junga, they weren't interested in seeing the plight of the villagers, but only wanted to look at the Platinum site. They were too caught up in that to see the actual situation in the village.

By showing them the humanitarian side of the gesture of accepting the Peace Resolution, Gill made them realise that the act of helping a dying nation would be bigger and better than any materialistic profit they could obtain. Like he said before, the UN only voted unanimously when the situation was completely dire, and Gill's speech made them realise that.

After reading these 2 chapter my only respond was... HOLY SHIT!
What a powerful arc and that speech truly gave great.

Damn it, not every day that I cried when reading manga ????

This was a good chapter. I can only wonder if something like this would happen in real life since the good of humans is not something that is always true

@mogima aside from the humanities aspect, there is also good timing and atmosphere. Gill gave the speech when they were on the verge of giving the votes where at that point, everyone already laid out their negotiation ammo. Gill's speech is a new and unexpected ammo that came in when all countries have ran out of ammo.

There's also good atmosphere where every representatives gave standing applause to the speech. I can't tell if gill's speech is good or not but the author surely want to make us think that his speech is so good by showing the standing applause. Atmosphere can give a strong influence to where the negotiation is going. When the majority of people's feeling in one room is united, then the negotiation process will come smoothly and vice versa.

negotiation is a very dynamic process and so many factors can change the results. The process that went outside of the negotiation room is as important as the actual negotiation/voting part. And each of the process require different tactics too

This chapter definately reminds me of the song Holiday by Green Day
