Kevin Kingswell Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Unsure of where to send any diplomatic teams in Asia and with the possible threat of immediate military action hovering just off the horizon The Imperium sent a Osprey transport helicopter to Natal itself. The Osprey was sent without any form of escort as protection was entrusted to the forces of the Horde. After a short flight the osprey began its approach to the capital of Natal upon whioch the pilot would upon a communications channel with the Horde forces stationed there. "This is Osprey 2-1-1 to Tianxian Horde headquarters we are approaching Natal's capital with our ambassador we request landing cordinates".

Triyun Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Admiral Minamoto would be the official representative from the Horde to discuss the situation with the Imperium. A large make shift command center had been setup outside of the city. Now with the marines onshore and much of the area having been moved under the control of the Horde, the transportation systems within the capital region were running reasonable well. The diplomats would be escorted into a room to meet with the Admiral who sat waiting silently for them to speak up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurius Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Fleet Commander Juergen Amiel would formally represent Athenian interests at the meeting, from the temporary command post aboard the HNS Poseidon he would fly by helicopter to the Tianxian base.

Kevin Kingswell Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Senior ambassador John Reid had been chosen for this mission for two reasons. Firstly he was of generally high rank within the Imperial Diplomatic Service and as such he was sent to the Horde as a mark of respect and yet secondly he was still replaceable if he was killed. Entering the room with the Admiral and Fleet Commander he stopped before him with his staff behind him and then they all bowed to the two representatives before John began his speech. "Gentlemen welcome to land of Africa, The Imperium offers you it's greetings. Now onto the matter of business. We at The Imperium have been trying to keep an eye on all of Africa always watching for threats both internal and external and yet we managed to miss the terrible situation here in Natal, now we would have preferred it if you had informed us of the dire state of Natal rather than invading this nation". "However, this clearly did not happen but we won't let that get between us. Instead The Imperium would instead like to make the following offer. We would be perfectly willing to allow the Horde to maintain Natal as a base, colony or whatever else you wish without opposition if you allow us to establish a small embassy here in Natal's capital city. No Imperium forces would be deployed as security instead that would be left to your own forces and we would of course share any and all important information with yourselves". "What is your decision?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurius Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Juergen looked up quite surprised by the request, he had personally been expecting a lot more. "I see no reason why this shouldn't be possible, Ambassador Reid. If my colleague from Tianxia agrees the Athenian Federation would gladly let you have such an embassy."

Triyun Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Admiral Minamoto rubbed his chin before letting out a brief sigh, "We would propose actually something you may not expect. We propose the Imperium take sovereignty over all but several key ports on the coast. In exchange, we be granted a lease to administer Natal from the Imperium. The Imperium be granted both an embassy, and an [i]advisory[/i] role in the administration of Natal. Further it allows one responsible African country at least to save face and keep nominal sovereignty in African Hands. Would this work favorably for you?"

Kevin Kingswell Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 This time it was John's turn to be surprised though he only allowed it to show for a second or two before he hid it behind a carefully placed neutral expression. "That is quite an honour you are giving us Admiral, as the representative of The Imperium I have full power to accept such an offer and as long as your Athenian comrade has no problem with the offer I humbly and gratiousally accept" he replied.

Kevin Kingswell Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 "Very well then. As of this time we accept the Horde's offer and will work with your forces and government to make this proposal work. I do suggest that an official statement be released from the Horde and Athens detailing what we intend and we shall then release one in support. Hopefully that should quiet the more vocal nations in Africa". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangeline Anovilis Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 [b]Unknown to the public[/b] Dalian, while running from the revolutionaries, passed a newspaper store. Immediately she stopped, grabbed (the owner had already joined the Nationalist militia) a newspaper and looked at the title story, showing the Announcement. Maybe from the running, or was it something else, however, Dalian coughed, before she continued her run.

Lord Zephyr Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 We are happy to see the Imperium take over the governance of Natal, though why Tianxia and Athen's want such a presence in Africa is beyond us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
