The Unusual Winter

The Unusual Winter: 

Over at one of the many windows of The White Palace, Lyping looks on with horror in his eyes. Never once has he seen such strange weather. Instead of great amounts of water raining down it was…some white powder quickly piling up until the ground isn’t viewable anymore. Lyping wonders in his heart whether or not his government is prepared for unheard of natural disasters such as this. A Knock at the door.

Lyping: Come on in!

Zhao: Mr President! Have you seen the recent storms? It has been happening everywhere this year… even here, a tropical monsoon temperate country isn’t safe from it. I fear the people won’t be able to have electricity and food for a while.

Lyping: I know, I know! Every bloody bastard knows this. Here is a topic of discussion: HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS?!

Zhao: I…

Then the Minister of National Defense and Espionage, Yormafiat Dumawes burst through the door.

Yormafiat: Sir! The fuel reserves in our tanks froze… we must declare a state of emergency! Our armed forces are not in any state to fight against our enemies!

Unknown: Neither are our enemies.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bing Bing Bingo Bongo appears behind Yormafiat.

Bing: The storm is happening everywhere right now. You can expect at least 1 month of global peace. Rejoice you hippies! You got what you asked for. Hurrah Global Peace *Roll eyes*. They are practically begging us for foreign aid… like this Darth Vader fellow, he literally refuses to feed his starving 140 or so people on his little island just because they’re not profitable enough to be fed.

2 knocks are heard from the door.

Lyping: Come on in!

The Minister of Health, John Paul and The Minister of Infrastructure and Trade, Javier Bong Achacha walk to their seats.

Lyping: What great news are you here to share? Go ahead!

John: *Nervous Chuckle* Of course not Mr President, half of the entire country’s population is down with a cold. Hell it’s even a miracle that we government officials are still in good health. By the way Mr President, I have an idea to temporarily solve this crisis.

Javier: No John, we’re not taking the development funds, you know how important that is to the president.

John: Boooo you’re no fun. But in hindsight I believe this is a necessary step to relieve some of our problems that come with this disaster.

Lyping: The development fund has been my government’s plan for over 2 years and is meant to be my greatest achievement in my second term. I can’t swallow my pride to see it be destroyed by some snowflakes, which isn’t even supposed to happen here. Is it possible to ask for foreign loans or aid?

Bing: Sorry but that’s not possible Mr President. At a time like this, there are prone to be some money hungry people who will destroy our country’s future.

Lyping:… Fine, I myself shall ask Parliament and the Assembly to withdraw some of the funds to feed our people and provide them with services like ample electricity, water supply.

Javier: It would be kind of nice if you include road maintenance. People need to get to their workplace even if it’s in a storm.

John: That’s not advisable..

Javier: The economy needs to move *Smug*.

Lyping:… Zhao? What do you think about this?

Zhao: I recommend we cut taxes and send out some of our oil reserves to every building so as they’ll be some heating during these hard times. Oh and the army should train in their barracks and indoor training camps since it would have heating so there wouldn’t be any more of those problems.

Lyping: Hm, good word, now this is the mindset of our future president. I will not regret doing this with the future being this bright. Alright gentleman, I shall see myself out, I hope you all have a fine day ahead of you.
