At most, the matter can be mentioned, and whether to provide assistance, how much assistance and in what form assistance should be provided must be decided by the member states willing to provide assistance.

This is the most difficult point. Michelle also emphasized on the phone that he can only play the role of matchmaking at best.

However, the final result is completely uncertain and the possibility of rejection is extremely high.

After all, no member state will unconditionally take out materials from its treasury to support other countries!

Michel carefully calculated what the United States and other countries needed, and the quantity was so large that he couldn't even begin to speak.

Finally, after discussing with Rita, Michelle urgently convened a meeting of all departments.

Piles of information were made into PPT and played quickly. Ministers from various UN departments gathered together and stared at the screen intently.

As expected, everyone had different expressions, including surprise, disbelief, suspicion, helplessness, anger...

"This is the current situation. What do you think?"

Michelle asked in a hoarse voice. He had talked too much before and had not recovered yet. Even taking throat lozenges did not help.

After the more than one-hour long content was played, all kinds of sounds in the conference room intertwined together, as noisy as a busy city!
The heads of various departments communicated quickly with each other, gesticulating and using various gestures.

Some agree, some disagree, some don't believe it, and some remain neutral...

"Minister, I seriously doubt the authenticity of this information. It is completely beyond scientific norms. I think this is more like a scam. It's really exorbitant to ask for so much!"

"I think we should provide aid to the United States and other countries. The authenticity of this information is very high, and the data on the loss list is not false. I support it..."

"I'm not sure. This is beyond my understanding. I can't express my opinion for now. Please feel free to do as you please!"

"I object……"

"I agree……"

Nearly 30% of people support aiding the United States and other countries, while nearly 30% are opposed to it. Everyone has their reasons, and they are all fully reasonable.

In addition, nearly 40% of the people expressed neutrality. They were unable to give an answer for the time being and simply chose to abstain.

The meeting lasted nearly three hours, during which all departments conducted an in-depth analysis of the matter and ultimately reached an agreement with Michelle.

The final decision was to seek help from major countries such as Kyushu and Bear Country, and to let the United States and other countries contact Kyushu and others to discuss specific matters together.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Kyushu, Kuma and others agree to this aid.

Therefore, the United Nations headquarters urgently prepared relevant written documents and sent them to several countries including Xiong Country and Kyushu Country late at night.

The next morning, the UN headquarters received a response from the Bear Country. The letter read: "Dear Minister, we have received your message. We deeply regret the difficulties faced by the United States and other member states, and are willing to provide assistance within our capacity. However, due to the shortage of supplies at the end of the year, the Bear Country is currently unable to provide assistance to other countries, for which we are deeply sorry."

In short, the Bear Nation rejected the request for assistance from UN Headquarters.

Their reasons are sufficient and reasonable. The Bear Country itself is also facing a shortage of supplies, so it is unable to lend a helping hand to the United States and other countries. They expressed regret for this. Although they are eager to provide help, they are helpless because of their limited strength. They can only silently pray that the United States and other countries can survive this crisis.

Michelle did not say much about this. No matter how much truth or falsehood there was in Xiong Guo's statement, he had no right to blame Xiong Guo for its inaction at this time.

In addition to the Bear Country, Michelle has also sent out requests for assistance to more than a dozen other countries, and has received a number of rejection replies. The reasons for these replies are similar, all expressing regret, but all saying that they are powerless and can only provide spiritual support and encouragement.

Among those countries that did not respond, Kyushu was among them.

In the first meeting room of Jiuzhou, after receiving the request from the United Nations, Mr. Xu immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity. He quickly convened an emergency meeting, and Wang Bo, Tao Ping, Wang Ke, Zhang Guo, Yang Ping, Huang Jie and others gathered together again.

He immediately showed the document sent by the United Nations to everyone and said, "Isn't this the opportunity we have been waiting for? Mr. Xu, this is great! This is a great opportunity for Kyushu to show its strength!"

"It seems that Lin Nan had the foresight to ask us to be prepared. Fortunately, we have made sufficient preparations in advance."

"As expected, Baipu and his team asked the United Nations for help. Everything is within our expectations..."

"But their needs are really big. They asked to borrow so many things right away!"

Although everyone had anticipated the current situation and made corresponding preparations, they were still quite shocked when several countries led by the United States put forward specific demands.

The United States has a big appetite. It asked for 300 billion US dollars right away, which is not a small amount.

"Having said that, the United States is already heavily in debt. If I remember correctly, they seem to owe our Kyushu more than 10 billion!" someone reminded.

"Including the interest, it's probably around 15 billion, and it's due at the end of the year. Under the current circumstances, it may be difficult for them to repay the loan..." another person said worriedly.

"It has come to this point, should we still lend them the money? What if they can't pay it back?" Zhang Guo raised his concerns, which is also the question in many people's minds.

However, there is a solution. Since there is no money, we can use technology to exchange! The United States is in a leading position in many fields, and their technology confidentiality is also done perfectly. Kyushu has long coveted this, and this may be a rare opportunity.

Everyone thought of this tacitly. Although no one said it directly, they could see a tacit understanding from each other's eyes.

"Let's not talk about money for now. The situation in the United States is more complicated. We'll discuss it later. What's more important now is the needs of other countries." Someone changed the subject.

"Have you finished reading the documents? Simi Country wants more than ten tons of cabbage, Maple Leaf Country only wants some cattle, and as for Neon Country, they seem to want everything."

"Vegetables, fruits, building materials..." As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help laughing, with all kinds of expressions on their faces.

"If I remember correctly, last year the spokesperson of Neon Foreign Ministry said at a public meeting that their country is rich in resources and self-sufficient and does not need to import at all!" someone joked.

"Why do they want everything now? It's so funny! I think we should stop calling it Japan and just call it the 'Nation of Beggars'!" Everyone was very dissatisfied with Japan's actions.

The president of Japan, Hirata Jiro, is a complete "follower" who follows the lead of the US President Biden in all matters, big or small. Whatever Biden says is what he agrees with and implements unconditionally. This behavior is really unbearable.

Seeing this, Mr. Xu coughed a few times, signaling everyone to be more restrained. "Some things are better left unsaid. Silence is golden!" He did not mean to blame everyone, but just to remind them.

"By the way, doesn't the Simi Kingdom want cabbage? We in Jiuzhou Kingdom don't have much else, but we have plenty of cabbage." Someone mentioned the needs of the Simi Kingdom.

"I heard that the price of cabbage in their country has reached nearly 30 US dollars per head, which is ridiculous! Why don't we sell the extra cabbage to them? Even if it's 10 US dollars per head, we can make a lot of money." Wang Ke excitedly suggested. "Isn't this a bit exaggerated? In our country of Kyushu, cabbage is very cheap." Someone expressed doubts.

"It's not an exaggeration. $10 per cabbage is better than $30 per cabbage, right? I think the price is reasonable. If they really want cabbage, they will buy it," Zhang Guo explained.

After a discussion, everyone agreed that Maple Leaf Country, Asan Country, and Simi Country needed to borrow 50 billion US dollars. However, everyone had different opinions and endless arguments about the requirements of the United States and Neon Country.

As for the United States, most people think that they can lend to them, even if they have no money to pay it back, because they can use technology to repay the debt! Kyushu has long coveted the high-tech core technology of the United States.

Finally, everyone reached a consensus on the issue of the United States. As for Japan...

"They want the most, but they don't have anything good to give us," someone said bluntly.

"Let's not lend it to them. Not only is it of little value, it may also cause trouble." Another person echoed.

"I suspect they can't afford it and might even resort to rogue tactics!" Wang Bo said bluntly. He really didn't have a good impression of Japan.

In the end, everyone was against supporting Japan. Everyone agreed: Don't lend Japan anything in response to their request!
After helping the United States and other countries, Kyushu has done its best and has no extra energy to help Japan.

"Then let's make this decision for now. Tell Minister Michel that Kyushu can discuss support with them. But Japan is an exception." Yang Ping concluded. Everyone agreed, and Mr. Xu nodded.

The meeting, which lasted more than six hours, finally came to an end. Wang Bo contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyushu and then sent a formal reply to Minister Michel.

In his office at the UN headquarters, Michel's expression was not very good. He had sent more than a dozen emails, but all he received were rejections. Those high demands discouraged many countries.

Just when Michel was about to give up, he received a reply from Kyushu. "Minister, that's great! Kyushu said it can help!" Rita excitedly rushed into Michel's office and even forgot to knock on the door.

Michelle hurriedly stood up from her seat, took the document from Rita's hand and checked it again and again. That's right! The document was indeed stamped with the seal of Kyushu.

He was so excited that his hands were shaking and his voice was choked. "That's great! That's great! I didn't expect that after being rejected dozens of times in a row, I finally saw hope!"

"That's good now. I can explain to President Baip, President William and others. And we don't have to be caught in the middle anymore." Michelle said with relief.

However, Rita showed a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What happened? Is there something wrong?" Minister Michel asked in confusion. He just glanced at the document without reading it carefully, mainly confirming the signature and seal part.

"Well... how should I put it? Kyushu hopes to discuss with the United States and other countries before finalizing the specific details, but..."

"Neighborhood is not on the list. How should I respond?"

"I'm afraid..." Rita spoke with difficulty. She didn't know how to explain to Japan.

Once the United States and other countries are notified, Japan will definitely learn about this, and they will never give up.

It might even be possible to blame the United Ministry for this, which is tricky to think about...

"Ah——!!!" Michelle was stunned...

He had indeed made an oversight just now, so he carefully checked the documents again and checked the countries on the list.

"The United States, Maple Leaf Country, Simi Country, Asan Country, and the Corruption Country..."

There is really no Japan on the list!

After confirming it several times, Michelle had to accept this fact.

The current situation is that only Kyushu is willing to lend a helping hand, but Japan is not on the list.

So the question is, who can help Japan?

No one!
Michelle then realized that she might have been too happy too early and the problem was far from being solved.

"..."

"..."

He and Rita looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

"By the way, why is Japan not on the list?" Rita was a little puzzled. Since Kyushu had the strength, why didn't it provide comprehensive assistance, but instead left Japan behind?

Michelle knew her doubts, but did not say them out loud.

"Maybe Neon Country is asking for too much. If I were the person in charge of Kyushu, I might not be willing to help such a greedy country!" Rita speculated herself, and Michelle did not comment.

The reason is actually not important, the key lies in the result. The current problem is how to solve Japan’s problems.

"Oh, by the way, I remember we sent out 13 emails in total, and we've received 12 replies. What's the situation with the remaining one?"

Michelle suddenly felt that there was still hope. Maybe the last country was willing to...

"Well, I forgot to mention that the last email was also a rejection, and the reason was similar to the previous one."

Rita was so excited that she forgot about it.

Alas, hope is dashed!
Michelle's idea was ruthlessly rejected.

"Rita, what should we do? Japan may find it difficult to accept this fact, but..."

Rita's face was full of worry and her brows were furrowed. She was extremely depressed.

Michelle also had no idea. After thinking hard for a while, she finally decided to give up struggling.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. Let Neon Country negotiate with Kyushu Country on its own!"

"We are stuck in the middle, so let them raise their demands themselves. The United Nations has no obligation to do this for Japan!" (End of this chapter)
