Episode 262.
The United Nations General Assembly, the main decision-making body of the United Nations, was composed of two groups.
Committee of five countries, permanent members.
All member states of the United Nations, General Assembly.
The United Nations General Assembly was an annual meeting of the permanent members of the Security Council and the General Assembly.
However, there were cases where an emergency meeting was called urgently when important issues related to international security arose.
So, now.
“This is a matter that has already been passed by security resolution! And now you say we can’t pass the resolution!”
UN Secretary-General Maverick climbed up onto the podium and shouted:
The atmosphere at the UN General Assembly grew cold due to Maverick’s ominous attitude.
At that time, everyone was looking around and avoiding eye contact.
“That’s literally it. I can’t agree with the deployment of peacekeeping forces to Myanmar.”
A soft voice broke through the silence.
The five permanent members of the United Nations.
China, UK, USA, France, Russia.
Among them was Britain’s position.
“the reason is….”
Maverick stopped talking and closed his eyes tightly.
Otherwise, I felt like I would burst out in anger and make a bad sound.
Although Maverick was the Secretary-General representing the UN, he still could not treat the permanent members of the Security Council carelessly.
You shouldn’t treat it carelessly.
“…what’s the reason.”
Maverick asked, his anger cooling down.
“There are many countries that are currently suffering from the pandemonium. But doesn’t it make sense that Myanmar alone is sending three divisions?”
Pandemonium, an all-out war against the entire world.
As the saying goes, there were many countries suffering from pandemonium.
Also, three divisions were an excessive force.
A force of approximately 100,000 elite troops.
It is also true that these forces were only deployed to Myanmar.
So Britain’s position was not entirely wrong.
“The situation in Myanmar is dire right now.”
But when you compare the circumstances, it wasn’t like that at all.
In other countries, the terrorism was almost under control.
However, the situation in Myanmar was so serious that three divisions had to be dispatched.
So that’s Britain’s position now.
“Aren’t you just being annoying?”
Maverick couldn’t take those words at face value.
“Isn’t it just unfair that Myanmar, which pays less in contributions, is receiving the benefits?”
“That’s a bit harsh.”
The British spokesman frowned, as if displeased.
But Maverick didn’t care at all.
Myanmar was a member of the UN, but its contribution was not large.
It was because they didn’t have the capacity to pay a large amount of contributions.
“Isn’t that a bit harsh? It’s just the truth. The British permanent members are just─”
“Then what should we do?”
Another voice was heard at that moment.
It was none other than the United States, one of the five permanent members of the Security Council.
“It’s not nice that Myanmar, which pays less, is getting the benefits. So what are we going to do?”
The American spokesman snapped at Maverick in a sharp voice.
And Maverick is crunch!
All he could do was clench his fist.
The UN, an international organization established to maintain world peace.
The United Nations is the largest international organization in human history and a multilateral conference organization comprised of numerous countries from around the world.
The United Nations was a multilateral conference organization in which numerous countries were ‘united’.
“Isn’t it natural that those who shoulder more responsibilities should be able to enjoy more rights?”
Maverick was left speechless by the American spokesperson’s subsequent remarks.
That wasn’t the wrong thing to say…
The United Nations was launched after World War I with 51 member states.
And after World War II, and decisively after the Demon World Invasion.
As the importance of peace grew, it became a global international organization with 193 member countries.
In fact, it could be seen that every country in the world had joined and formed a union.
And the UN’s operating funds were run by voluntary contributions from member countries.
But in reality, not all member states paid the same share.
Countries commonly referred to as developed countries.
None other than the five permanent members of the Security Council.
China, UK, USA, France, Russia.
These five countries were paying almost all of the contributions.
No, let me be frank.

“If we are to be burdened with obligations without any rights, we, the United States, have no intention of paying our dues to the UN any longer.”
It’s America.
The UN was effectively run by the United States.
Without the contributions that the United States makes to the UN, the UN could not function.
In fact, there was a time when the United States drastically reduced its contribution to the UN.
And the UN that year.
They had to pay their employees back wages.
This forced Maverick to go to the President of the United States and explain the situation.
“We are requesting the permanent members of the UN Security Council to send three divisions of peacekeeping troops to Myanmar.”
This was… the reality of the UN.
Ethics and morals.
Ideals and romance.
An organization that was launched with the grand belief of love for humanity, but ultimately became subordinated to the logic of capital and power.
“We in the United States are also having a headache because of the pandemonium.”
It could be seen as a reality not only for the UN but also for humanity.
“But doesn’t the US have the power to stop it? But Myanmar doesn’t. If we don’t send troops to Myanmar right now… .”
“If you look at it that way, isn’t Myanmar the same? It’s a country where the 13 heroes, Lord Dau Shin Sayama, are still alive.”
“Currently, Dow Shin Sayama-sama is…!”
“First of all, the UN is a neutral organization that doesn’t take sides with any country. But taking sides with one side─”
“The UN is not a ‘neutral’ international organization, but a ‘fair’ international organization!”
Maverick finally burst out in rage and shouted.
I had no choice but to explode with unbearable anger.
It was clear that the United Nations was an organization that worked to maintain peace.
That’s why people often think of it as a neutral organization, but it’s not like that at all.
Neutrality means not taking anyone’s side.
Whether we fight or not, whether we argue or not.
Neutrality simply means to stand by and watch.
But as I said, the UN is a world peace-keeping organization.
When two countries fight and dispute, the United Nations takes the lead in mediating.
So, the UN is there to determine who is right or wrong and help the victims.
We must define the evils that threaten peace.
Good and evil.
A clear yardstick had to be drawn for that vague concept.
In doing so, we must stand on the side of good.
That is why the UN cannot help but be subject to much criticism.
But that is why the United Nations was founded and its ultimate purpose.
Let’s say that we are afraid of that criticism and do not touch either good or evil.
Let’s assume that we maintain a neutral stance of bystandership.
Then there was no reason to form a peacekeeping force under the name of the United Nations.
There was no reason for a world peace treaty to be concluded in the name of the United Nations.
But… . But… .
“Then we can divide up the peacekeeping forces fairly and deploy them.”
The permanent members of the UN Security Council are sitting there spouting out such nonsense.
Maverick just couldn’t stand it.
But crunch!
All he could see was a clenched fist.
“Of course, I have no intention of deciding on the agenda on my own like everyone else. Let’s hold a vote and gather the opinions of the member states.”
Maverick’s fists shook.
It was called a vote, but it wasn’t really a vote.
That is understandable, since all agenda items presented at the UN are subject to votes by the permanent members.
If even one of the five permanent members of the Security Council opposed the motion, it could not be passed.
What is a global international organization?
What on earth is a world peacekeeping organization?
Only Maverick’s fists were shaking.
The vote took place in a flash.
“I will announce the resolution to vote on the dispatch of peacekeeping forces to Myanmar.”
And so the result came out.
“General assembly vote, 162 in favor, 31 against.”
The votes of the 193 general assembly members were far beyond the majority.
I was voting in favor of sending troops to Myanmar.
“The permanent members voted 3 against and 2 in favor.”
However, 3 permanent members voted against it.
“I hereby declare that the resolution to dispatch troops to Myanmar has been rejected.”
Bang bang bang!
The gavel’s sound, signaling the resolution’s rejection, echoed throughout the UN General Assembly.
* * *
A single room at SH Hospital.
It wasn’t comparable to the special ward where Seo-ah was hospitalized, but it was a relatively comfortable ward.
In the single room, there was a single bed, as befitting a single room.
And on that bed, a girl with a simple yet cute appearance was sleeping soundly.
She looked to be around the same age as Seo-ah.
So, she was closer to a high school girl than a girl.
I was just quietly watching that high school girl.
“Do you need more orichalcon?”
I really wondered if she was Kwon Pil-sang’s daughter.
No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t resemble that vicious Kwon Pil-sang at all.
Did he inherit all of Kwon Pil-sang’s genes from his wife?
She was a cute high school girl who naturally made me think that way.
“Yes, but….”
“It hasn’t been that long since I gave you the orichalcon, and already?”
Kwon Pil-sang tilted his head at Si-woo’s words.
He didn’t seem to frown or get angry.
But maybe it’s because of that Goguryeo bandit-like impression.
It was Kwon Pil-sang who gave off the feeling that he was angry for some reason.
“Is it difficult to obtain?”
“It’s not that difficult.”
Kwon Pil-sang shook his head subtly.
It’s not hard to get orichalcon.
I was a little impressed by those words.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to you right now.”
Kwon Pil-sang spoke with an embarrassed expression.
Siwoo nodded slightly.
None other than the cute high school girl sleeping soundly on that bed.
Because I knew that it was because I couldn’t leave Kwon Pil-sang’s daughter’s side.
“Then, could you please tell me where the orichalcon is buried?”
So Siwoo asked cautiously.
If it was a nearby place, Siwoo could just go and come back.
However, it was not easy to tell the location.
A place where at least several hundred orichalcons are buried.
Its value was indescribable.
“It’s not difficult to tell.”
But Kwon Pil-sang didn’t seem to think so.
He had no hesitation in assuming that what he said to Siwoo was not empty words.
“But I think it would be difficult to explain the exact location.”
Siwoo also nodded.
Kwon Pil-sang traveled the world in search of a way to cure his daughter.
An area inaccessible to humans.
There was no place I hadn’t been, exploring rugged wilderness areas.
The area where the orichalcon was buried seemed to be one of those places.
Well, if it was a place where people often went, it would have been discovered a long time ago.
In any case, it was never easy to describe such an area in words.
“It seems like it’s not Korea in many ways.”
Looking at it, it didn’t seem to be Korea.
Then knowing the location wouldn’t mean much.
I couldn’t leave Korea because I didn’t know when Seo-ah would wake up.
As expected, Kwon Pil-sang nodded slightly and said.
“The orichalcon deposit is in Myanmar.”
“Myanmar?”
“That’s where I was last. I discovered a hidden ruin there, and inside that ruin I found the Orichalcon.”
“You say it’s a relic….”
“It was a relic that even the locals didn’t know about. I can only guess that it was a relic that was revealed after the great invasion of the Demon World.”
The great invasion of the Demon World that pushed humanity to the brink of destruction.
Because of this, numerous cultural assets and historic sites were destroyed.
However, there were also cases where relics that had not been discovered and were hidden were discovered.
“So I don’t know what kind of relic it is either. I tried to find out, but I rushed to Korea after hearing that a major incident had occurred in Seoul.”
It has been nearly two months since the disaster in Seoul ended.
At the same time, Kwon Pil-sang heard the news of the disaster in Seoul.
This means that.
That meant it would take at least two months to reach the ruins.
Of course, it takes two months to explore here and there.
It really wouldn’t take two months.
However, it was clear that it was an area that was not easily accessible.
“I’m not very good at talking, so it’s hard for me to explain the exact location.”
It wasn’t a question of eloquence.
Since even the locals didn’t know, I couldn’t find it even though I was only told the general location.
It would have been the same even if I had been able to go with Kwon Pil-sang.
‘I can’t leave Korea before Seo-ah wakes up.’
Because Siwoo couldn’t leave Korea right away.
Because of this, wasn’t it inevitable that he would decline Dow Shin Sayama’s request?
“First of all, even if you search carefully, you won’t be able to obtain the orichalcon.”
Kwon Pil-sang’s words were heard again.
Siwoo tilted his head for a moment.
“It is true that it is a relic that even the locals did not know about, and that I was the first to discover it. But that does not mean that it is mine. It belongs to Myanmar.”
“ah.”
Siwoo was able to nod his head at Kwon Pil-sang’s subsequent words.
Orichalcon buried at an unknown archaeological site in Myanmar.
That was, as the saying goes, Myanmar’s.
If you took it without permission because you found it first, it would be nothing more than grave robbery and plunder.
“I was able to bring back the orichalcon because the local people gave it to me. It was in return for my help.”
Siwoo was also able to nod his head.
So, I was able to roughly understand the relevant circumstances.
That would be so, after hearing the story of Dow Shin Sayama.
The current situation in Myanmar is not very good.
It seemed that Kwon Pil-sang had provided considerable help to Myanmar.
They looked like Goguryeo bandits and seemed like they would do anything they could to plunder.
As expected, it seems you shouldn’t judge people by their appearance.
“okay….”
Siwoo eventually had no choice but to give up the additional Orichalcon.
To be exact, there was nothing I could do right now.
Just then, as I was about to leave the single room with such regretful feelings.
“Is this really necessary right now?”
Kwon Pil-sang asked again.
“No, it’s not that urgent.”
Siwoo gave a small wave of his hand.
That would be the case, because it wasn’t urgent.
Orihalcon was just needed to create new equipment.
That’s why I just feel sorry right now.
It was never enough to be a problem.
“hmm….”
But Kwon Pil-sang didn’t seem to think so.
“If you need orichalcon, I can go and get it now. To be exact, I’ll have to ask for it.”
“Is it possible?”
Siwoo asked cautiously.
As the saying goes, the Orichalcon wasn’t urgent, but it was still good to have right away.
A new piece of equipment made using Gleipnir.
Because my body was itching to make it as soon as possible.
“Yes, but this time there is one condition.”
Kwon Pil-sang nodded and continued speaking.
Are you trying to ask for money?
The moment I had that thought.
“Take responsibility for our Inhye.”
A moment of blankness.
“……yes?”
I thought, what kind of rash is this?
fantasy,
