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

Borrowing money, repaying money, etc., is not their purpose at all.

This means that their failed military operations had long been discovered by Kyushu. They deliberately set the trap and naturally stood up when the United States and other countries turned to the United Nations for help.

Doing so not only won the favor of Minister Michel at the United Nations Headquarters, but also showed other countries the image of Kyushu as a peace messenger and a loving country!

In fact, this is exactly what they want. They can naturally discuss cooperation with other countries. No money, right? Then just give them the technology!

After the dust settles on this incident, Kyushu's outstanding reputation will surely spread widely among the member states of the United Nations, attracting more member states to actively seek cooperation with it.

Baipu found it hard to accept this situation. He felt as if a string in his mind suddenly broke, and his heart was filled with inexplicable fear, anxiety, irritability, unwillingness and helplessness.

"No, this is absolutely not possible. The chip technology must not fall into the hands of Kyushu. That's too risky..." he muttered to himself.

"We will definitely find other solutions. We must look for new partners." Baip's words sounded more like he was trying to convince himself than to state them to Minister Tim.

"Who else could it be?" Minister Tim asked, not optimistically.

"Besides Kyushu, the only country that can provide this huge sum of money by the end of the year is Bear Country. But two days ago, Bear Country explicitly rejected the United Nations' proposal."

"The Bear Country has strong heavy industry, but its light industry is relatively backward. They are not interested in chip technology. Instead, they are more likely to cooperate with Kyushu Country because Kyushu Country has what they need."

"Now that I think about it, the rejection by the Xiong Nation might have been pushed by the Jiuzhou Nation. This possibility is not small."

"After the Bear Country, other countries are not a concern. I'm afraid they can't come up with more than 10 billion together. We can't expect small countries with a population of only a few hundred thousand or a few million to bear the cost, right?" Minister Tim analyzed calmly. He was well aware of these situations, and almost every path was not feasible.

In other words, the most ideal partner at present is Kyushu. There is no other choice, and no other country can help the United States overcome this crisis.

However, the rapid development of science and technology in Kyushu is astonishing. In a short period of time, they have reached the peak of science and technology, which is a goal that other countries have been unable to achieve in nearly a hundred years.

This is exactly what Baipu fears the most. Not only him, but all previous presidents of the United States are deeply worried about this. They are afraid of the speed of Kyushu's rise.

Jiuzhou is good at seizing every opportunity, taking advantage of the situation and achieving rapid development. Minister Tim's thoughts gradually leaned towards conspiracy theories. He increasingly felt that all this was a careful layout of Jiuzhou, and the rejection of Xiongguo was also arranged in advance by them.

However, he misunderstood Kyushu. Xiongguo was simply not interested in the US proposal. With its own tight finances, how could it spend tens of billions to aid the US?
The first thing the Bear Country considers is the quality of life of its own people. In addition, the United States does not have a good reputation internationally, especially in terms of borrowing, which is notorious.

They have repeatedly borrowed money but have not repaid it, and are even unable to pay back the interest. Those countries that lent money to the United States are lucky to get their principal back.

In fact, the United States has a lot of annual tax revenue, but most of the funds are invested in military operations.

The United States can be seen in almost every military operation. If it is not seen, then they must be secretly controlling it from behind. Such frequent military operations naturally require huge financial support.

This is simply a bottomless pit that can never be filled and requires continuous investment. Therefore, in recent years, the United States has been tightening its fiscal policy and is always short of money at the end of the year, frequently borrowing money from the international community.

Borrowing a lot, but paying it back slowly, over time, many countries no longer dare to lend money to the United States, and they have no money to borrow.

The Bear Country will naturally not sacrifice its own interests to help the United States. There is a geographical gap between them and the United States, and there is very little communication.

Moreover, the President of the Bear Country has a tough attitude and never suffers any loss. It is simply a fantasy to want to get money from them.

Due to historical reasons, the people of Bear Country have no good feelings towards the United States, especially President Biden. They always actively oppose President Biden on Twitter and smear the US government.

Under such circumstances, Baipu would never lower himself to negotiate with the Bear Country, because that would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

……

President Baip remained silent and fell into deep thought.

Minister Tim's analysis made sense, and everyone understood the truth, but they still felt unwilling. In the final analysis, they just didn't want Kyushu to take advantage!

This idea is deeply rooted in the minds of every American president and government official.

"President Baip, please make a decision as soon as possible no matter what. If you cannot accept it, my secretary and I will fly back to the United States immediately." After calming down for a while, Minister Tim handed the decision to Baip.

Anyway, he is now in Kyushu and cannot fly back to the United States to attend the meeting, let alone make decisions on his own. It is better to wait for Baip's instructions and act accordingly.

"There's no need to rush about this matter. I'll give you a clear answer before the meeting this afternoon. That's it, bye!" After saying this, Baipu quickly hung up the phone without any extra explanation.

In the United States, it was midnight. It was pitch black outside the window and the moon was hiding behind the dark clouds, without a single ray of light. It seemed particularly depressing.

There is a time difference of nearly twelve hours between Kyushu and the United States. When it is noon in Kyushu, it is late at night in the United States.

It should have been a time for sleep, but the first conference room of the U.S. government was brightly lit and filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Under the urgent call of President Baip, ministers from various departments had to rush to the conference room overnight to discuss major issues.

They yawned and nodded frequently, and no one was willing to get out of the warm bed late at night.

Even the strongest coffee could not dispel their fatigue and sleepiness, and sleepiness came like a tide.

The meeting room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone sat in their seats in a daze with confused eyes, wondering why President Baip was holding a meeting so late at night.

No one dared to speak or ask questions. Baipu sat in the chief position like a majestic Buddha statue, his face terribly gloomy.

Even if the ministers had many doubts, they were unwilling to take the risk of asking Baip, as that would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

Within half an hour, the heads of various departments arrived one after another, and the round table in the conference room was filled with people.

Seeing that everyone was present, President Baip finally spoke. He made a brief opening statement, then went straight to the point and laid out the whole matter.

……

"What do you think?" Baip asked.

This news exploded in the conference room like a bomb, and everyone woke up instantly.

Some people knew nothing about this and were hearing about it for the first time; others seemed thoughtful, obviously having heard about it before and were not surprised.

The Minister of Security was the first to stand up and firmly objected: "President Baipu, the chip technology cannot be handed over to Kyushu in any case. This is absolutely unacceptable! How can we sell technology just because we are short of money?"

"The strength of Kyushu should not be underestimated. If they can master chip technology, they will be even more powerful and will pose a huge threat to the United States!" he said excitedly.

"Lord Baip, I strongly oppose it!" The Minister of Security was even more excited than Baip. He was the first to stand up and fiercely oppose it. His tone was rapid and loud, and his face was red with excitement, as if he had used up all his strength to say this.

In this regard, other ministers had different opinions. Some agreed, some opposed, and some had an unclear attitude and no one knew what they were thinking.

Baipu can clearly see everyone's reactions and little emotions.

In addition to the Minister of Security, several other department ministers also expressed their support for his views.

"Yes, President Baip, Minister Rice is right. Chip technology must not be handed over!"

"It's not impossible to get more than 10 billion US dollars. We can always find a way to solve it."

"That's right. We are firmly opposed to selling chip technology. This is all a conspiracy by Kyushu. We must not be fooled!"

"Kyushu is too dangerous. Negotiating with them will not have any good results. Let Minister Tim come back quickly!"

Several ministers followed the security minister, each more resolute than the other, and refused to agree to sell chip technology at all costs.

However, some ministers remained silent. They had not figured out Baip's thoughts yet and chose to wait and see.

Therefore, only a few ministers clearly opposed it, while the majority remained silent, neither agreeing nor opposing, simply not expressing their views.

"These old foxes!" Baip was very dissatisfied with this. He pointed to one of them - Defense Minister Kyle, and asked him to express his opinion.

"Kyle, what do you think about this?"

When he heard his name being called, he stood up calmly and said slowly: "I'm sorry, President Baip, I haven't formed a clear opinion yet."

"There are many unclear points in this matter, and it is difficult to make a conclusion. Perhaps, Lord Baip could share your views first?"

Kyle cleverly threw the question back. He wanted to hear Baip's thoughts rather than express his own position first.

He was not the only one who had this mentality. Many people present also had their own thoughts, but because of their personal interests, they were not in a position to make a clear statement at the moment. They all nodded, and Kyle was in sync with them.

Baipu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at everyone present one by one, especially Kyle, where he stayed for a long time.

Suddenly, he laughed out loud: "Okay, very good, you are all very smart. Then let me tell you what I think!"

Baipu knew that these old foxes would not easily reveal their true feelings, so he decided to speak first: "I support Rice's point of view. Chip technology is extremely important and must not be sold to Kyushu easily!"

His voice is firm, powerful, passionate and inspiring.

Hearing that Baip was on the same front with them, the people headed by the Minister of Security were delighted and very satisfied. They knew that only by unity can the prosperity of the United States be ensured.

However, Carey felt that the matter was far from simple. He believed that Baip's remarks were just a prelude to the following topic.

He sneered at the reactions of Rice and others, and was full of contempt in his heart.

"What a bunch of idiots, you think the problem is too simple. If the matter is really so easy to decide, why hold this meeting?"

"Baipu must have something more important to say, or these things are related to our vital interests, so we have to hold this emergency meeting."

Kairi had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his intuition told him that nothing good would happen next.

Sure enough, Baipu changed the subject and raised an even more unacceptable question: "But if the negotiations fail, Kyushu requires us to pay off the debt within a deadline. The previous president borrowed about 10 billion US dollars, and now there are less than two weeks left."

"The principal and interest are about 15 billion. Where this money comes from is still unknown!"

"Not only that, we also need to raise funds to support the next military operations. It's already the end of the year and the financial situation is very serious..."

“So, can some departments take the initiative to step forward and save money to pay off debts and invest in the military?”

Baipu no longer tried to hide the truth and laid bare all the problems at once.

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room exploded with discussions one after another.

"What does this mean? Are we required to pay for it?"

"This is simply a fantasy! Our department is short of funds, this is absolutely necessary, and we can't spare the money at all!"

"Impossible! How can we possibly come up with such a large sum of money? We have to settle accounts at the end of the year. Not only do we have no money now, but are we going to let our people work for nothing?"

"This plan is simply not feasible! The United States attaches great importance to human rights. This is in conflict with the law and is illegal!"

"President Baip, how can you say such a ridiculous thing? This is absolutely impossible!"

Almost everyone expressed their refusal. If they were still struggling over chip technology before, now that their own interests are involved, no one is willing to remain silent.

They expressed their opposition firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Of course, chip technology cannot be easily handed over to Kyushu.

However, it is absolutely impossible to let them bear the consequences!

To be honest, the reason why the United States is in its current predicament is also because of blind military activities. If we hadn't rashly gone to that base, none of these things would have happened!
Many people here have this consideration in their minds. They know that the problem is not caused by themselves, so they are unwilling to bear the consequences.

Absolutely impossible!
Even Rice and others who had expressed their positive opinions before now strongly opposed Baip's proposal.

"Then what should we do? Do we really have to sell the technology to Kyushu?"

Baip yelled in frustration.

He had long known that these people were unreliable and would run away faster than anyone else once their own interests were involved.

"Les, tell me! Weren't you firmly opposed to selling chip technology before? What should we do now? Shouldn't you set an example?"

Baip suddenly named Rice, who was the first person to publicly oppose the sale of chip technology to Kyushu.

However, Rice's previous resolute attitude now became hesitant. (End of this chapter)
