The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"What is going on, Minister Michel?" Secretary Rita asked, her tone full of confusion.

"Why are so many countries suddenly applying for assistance from the United Nations, and the reason is military exercises? This is simply too bizarre..."

"I felt like I was reading a science fiction novel. Super tornadoes, tsunamis, sea circles, super hail... How could they encounter so many rare natural disasters on the same day in the same sea area?"

"This is really beyond common sense, I can't believe it..." Rita exclaimed in amazement. She had been looking through the documents with Michelle since morning.

No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't accept the facts described in these documents. If she said it was someone's fiction, she might be willing to believe it, or even think it might be a prank.

But unfortunately, the application link proves that this is not a joke, but real!
The United States, Britain, Japan, Maple Leaf Country, India, and Smith Country submitted their applications one after another within 24 hours!
"Alas... Is this world too mysterious, or am I out of date..." Rita looked embarrassed.

"Minister, what should we do about these?" She picked up the application from the United States, which clearly stated that a loan of 30 billion US dollars was needed!
She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had seen an extra zero. You know, the annual membership fee of the United States is only 5 billion US dollars, and now it is directly applying for 30 billion US dollars in support from the United Nations!

This is simply an outrageous request. Rita even suspected that this was a conspiracy by the United States, trying to get something for nothing!

Minister Michel's expression was equally grim. It took him nearly four hours to barely finish reading the documents and he was exhausted.

He rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply. He felt the same way about Rita's complaints. He felt mixed emotions, as if a bottle of seasoning had been overturned.

Michelle and Rita looked at each other, their expressions revealing helplessness and boredom.

Half an hour later, their condition had not improved. Finally, Rita reluctantly got up and made a cup of coffee for herself and Michelle.

In the curling hot steam of coffee, the milky white latte art of a cup of cappuccino is particularly exquisite. Take a sip gently, and the sweetness slides down your throat, seeming to take away some of the boredom.

"I'm also totally confused and have no idea what to do!" said Michelle.

"It happens to be the end of the year again, and we cannot meet the US's request alone, let alone requests from other countries."

"In addition to funding, Smith Country also applied for aid from Chinese cabbage, and Maple Leaf Country applied for a batch of cattle..."

"Where can we get these things for them..." Michel was speechless. It was the first time he encountered a situation where he was asked to support cabbage and beef.

Rita took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "I can understand why Smith wants Chinese cabbage. Their people regard Chinese cabbage as being as important as their staple food."

"It's like drinking coffee without coffee companion, but this year, due to climate reasons, the cabbage production has been severely reduced."

"A few days ago, I saw a news report saying that a cabbage in Smith Country was sold for nearly thirty US dollars. Isn't that exaggerated?" Rita told Michelle the news she saw on Twitter a few days ago.

Michelle looked puzzled when she heard this: "A cabbage costs thirty dollars. This is simply robbery! The supermarket near our headquarters only sells it for two dollars a cabbage..."

"Is cabbage so delicious? It obviously has no taste at all..." Michelle complained a few times. He really didn't understand why the Smith people would scramble for cabbage worth thirty US dollars and would not even want it if it was given to them for free.

This thing has no calories, has no taste when cooked, and is not suitable for vegetable salad. Potatoes are cheap and delicious, and they are perfect with cheese!
"Haha, everyone has different tastes..." Rita explained with a smile, "Respect differences and respect culture!"

"Then why does the Maple Leaf Country suddenly need so many cows?" Michelle asked.

"The reasons are similar. Many cattle raised locally in the Maple Leaf Country died of diseases, resulting in heavy losses. The supply chains of dairy products and beef were disrupted." Rita read out what she had investigated softly.

It's really the end of the year now, and all kinds of disasters have lined up to appear, making it impossible for people to have a good new year!
"That is to say, they suffered heavy losses in this military exercise, so they applied for financial assistance from the United Nations and also put forward other demands..." Michelle said.

What’s even more outrageous is yet to come. Michelle and Rita were shocked when they took out the documents from Japan!
They discovered that the materials requested by Japan actually included: 10 billion US dollars, various vegetables and fruits, meat products... and even daily necessities!
"Is Neon Country short of everything? How come they even need daily necessities..." Rita said angrily, "Minister, isn't this too much? They are not even asking for help, they are simply a group of bandits!"

"Over the years since the United Nations was founded, it has helped many countries overcome difficulties at critical moments. Even countries that are often in turmoil have never asked for so many things!"

Rita was so angry that she was shaking. She was infuriated by Japan's shameless demands.

At present, the United States wants 30 billion US dollars, the United States wants 20 billion US dollars, Japan wants 10 billion US dollars, Maple Leaf Country, India, and Smith Country each want 5 billion US dollars...

This is just the funding aspect, which has exceeded the United Nations' annual financial revenue...

It is no wonder that Rita was so angry, especially since the countries that applied are all developed countries with strong international strength and status.

But because of this, they cannot easily reject applications from these countries.

Just when Michelle and Rita were worried, a phone call came in.

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling"

After Michelle answered the phone, her expression suddenly changed. The person on the other end lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Minister Michelle, I am President Baip of the United States. I am sorry to bother you."

"I believe you have seen the application submitted by the United States last night. The situation is as follows..."

"…Because of the heavy losses in this military exercise, the United States will not be able to recover in the next five years and urgently needs assistance from the United Nations!"

"I hope that Minister Michel will save the United States from the dire situation because the United States has paid its dues on time for more than a decade and supported all international rescue efforts!"

Baipu's tone was sad and full of emotion, with a hint of crying in his hoarse voice. It seemed that when he talked about the difficulties of the United States, his emotions suddenly surged up and he lost control...

We couldn't see each other's expressions on the phone, so we didn't know if Baipu was really crying. But Michelle's expression was quite complicated, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

The arrogant President Baip would actually be like this... Is he still the same President Baip who interrupted other members' speeches at will, deliberately left early after expressing his opinions in important meetings, and didn't care about other people's faces at all?
Michel thought it was too ironic, and he raised his doubts: "Please allow me to ask, President Baip, is the information you submitted true?"

"Why are there suddenly six-nation joint exercises, and in a very dangerous and unfamiliar sea area?"

"Is there any hidden secret in this? I have to doubt it!"

His words were powerful, and his questions were reasonable and logical. In response, Baipu explained calmly and brought out the statement he had prepared in advance.

"The thing is, the United States has shared the latest super battleship and fighter jet technology with the United States and other countries. We plan to jointly develop the latest equipment."

"We discovered that sea area by accident, and because of the confidentiality agreement, we planned to conduct exercises there."

"We didn't expect to encounter an epic disaster that happens only once in a century, which led to irreversible consequences."

"In fact, we are just contributing to the technological civilization of all mankind. If the new equipment is successfully developed, we plan to share it with member states of the United Nations."

"Now, everything is ruined..."

Baipu's tone fluctuated, sometimes excited, sometimes regretful, revealing his complex inner emotions thoroughly.

The tension on Michelle's face eased a little, and she was no longer as suspicious as before.

"It is truly regrettable and on behalf of the entire United Nations community, I would like to express our deepest condolences to you."

"This is purely an accident. There is nothing we can do about it..."

Michelle continued what Baip said, as if she accepted his explanation completely.

Baip looked happy, everything was under control.

The warm words have been spoken, and the next step is to get down to business, using a combination of soft and hard tactics.

"Minister Michel, you have always been a peace-loving and compassionate person. You will definitely not stand by and wait for help."

"The United States is currently facing a crisis and urgently needs the help of the United Nations."

"If the United States still cannot get help now, what is the point of its efforts in the United Nations over the years?" "The United States cannot get help in its difficult times, so it naturally cannot help other countries today!"

"Then perhaps we can only consider withdrawing from the United Nations. We may not even be able to afford the membership fees..."

Baip said this half-jokingly and half-threateningly, while also revealing the real purpose of the call.

In short, ask for funding!

Otherwise, it will consider withdrawing from the United Nations, and countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan, and the Maple Leaf Country may also follow suit!
Michelle was shocked when he heard this. He completely understood the hidden meaning behind Baip's words.

This is undoubtedly a naked threat. If the United States fails to achieve its goal, they will join other countries in withdrawing from the United Nations!

This is Baipu’s real intention, a strategy that has been planned since the beginning of the preparations for the joint meeting!

"Minister Michel, I believe the United Nations will not stand idly by, right?"

Baipu's voice came through the microphone, without the previous sense of sadness.

Michel was silent for a moment and then responded: "I cannot decide this matter alone. I need the consent of other member states."

“Perhaps some countries can provide assistance.”

He said this helplessly without making any clear promise.

But Baip on the other end of the phone took Michelle's words as tacit approval.

"That's great. I believe you will help the United States!"

Then, after a brief goodbye, Baip simply hung up the phone.

Beep-beep-beep

Michelle put down the microphone, and cold sweat broke out on her back and her whole body went cold.

Not only that, it felt like a cold wind was blowing through my heart, chilling me to the bone!

Before Rita could ask about the phone call, another call came in.

Only a few tens of seconds passed, as if there was an appointment, leaving Michelle no chance to breathe.

"Hello, Minister Michel, I am William, the president of the United Kingdom. This is what happened..."

"..."

"so……"

What William said was similar to what Baip said, but his tone was calmer and less turbulent, just as steady and solemn as ever.

Michelle has become numb to this.

He said a few perfunctory words, which were exactly the same as his previous remarks.

"We will try our best to contact other member states to help resolve this matter..."

After hanging up the phone, Michelle was about to go out for a smoke.

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling"

The phone rang again, this time it was the Maple Leaf Country.

So, a similar scene was played out again. Although the content of the call was slightly different, it was generally quite similar.

Afterwards, calls from India, Japan, and Simi came in one after another.

After everything was over, Michelle slumped down exhaustedly on the leather sofa, her mouth dry and unable to speak.

Rita kindly handed over a glass of warm water.

After taking a few sips of warm water to moisten her throat, Michelle felt a little better.

But my mind was still beating like a drum, and my thoughts were in a mess.

"Minister, please take a rest first. Your current condition is really too bad."

"This matter cannot be resolved in a short time. It's time for lunch break. I will bring you food later. Please take a rest here first."

"I'm going out first..."

Rita quietly left the office and closed the door for Michelle.

She did not ask about the content of the call, but she had vaguely heard some news. Combined with Michelle's words, she roughly guessed the situation.

Although it is not 100% accurate, it is almost there and basically restores the content of the call.

United Nations Headquarters, Office of Minister Michel.

After Rita left, Michelle said she needed to rest, but she couldn't fall asleep at all.

His thoughts kept churning and colliding with each other, but no good ideas came out of them, and instead they became even more chaotic.

Michelle's nerves ached, and she tried to close her eyes, but to no avail.

After receiving these six calls, he was in a very bad state, as if half of his vitality had been drained away and he was rapidly declining.

Whether it is expression, body or spirit, they are all inevitably affected and difficult to recover for a while.

"What should we do now? We will certainly help, but we simply cannot afford such a huge amount of money financially."

"Let alone hundreds of billions, even 10 billion is a stretch..."

"As for food, beef and other supplies, there is none at all. The United Nations headquarters does not have the planting and breeding technology, let alone the intention to develop such a development!"

"Now we can only ask other member states for help, but these demands are difficult to meet even if we gather the strength of multiple countries..."

Michelle looked gloomy, he was helpless now.

The actions of the United States and other countries are really despicable. They are trying to shift the losses to the United Nations headquarters!

At present, the only countries he can think of and seek help from are Xiong Country and Kyushu Country.

For now, only these two major countries have the ability to help the United States and other countries overcome difficulties.

However, Michel also felt that it was difficult for him to speak up. He had no right to ask the member states of the United Nations to forcibly assist the United States and other countries. (End of this chapter)
