Negotiations

[lkfht]

The Paraguayan government is willing to now start closed door negotiations with Tianxia and Dai-Tōhoku. We cannot speak for Republica however they are obviously invited in these discussions.

 

We ask Tianxia and Dai-Tōhoku to please (again) state what they want from South America, and Paraguay and Republica may do the same. Once all parties see clearly what each side wants then hopefully we may start to negotiate. This will hopefully keep things more organized and clear for all involved.

 

We also ask that military force not be used to threaten anyone during these discussions.

 

[OOC- Im pretty much confused at what everyone wants to Im hoping this may make things clearer]

"Dai-Tōhoku does still not intent to have any third-party mediation in the negotiations with the Republica and thus declines to meet with Paraguay."

We were invited by Tianxia! Paraguay is in South America, we have concerns too.

Paraguayan Claims:

 

1. Not to be invaded by Tianxia and/or Dai-Tōhoku

2. Not to be threatened by their presence in South America

3. To respect fundamental human rights (just reiterating it)

"We are neither invading nor issuing threats to Paraguay and we respect human rights. We see not why there was a need for this strange round of short negotiations, but if Paraguay feels now more at ease, then it was most likely worth it. Case Closed."

[lkfht]

"If Tianxia agrees to our claims then yes case closed and all Paraguayan Armed forces will be ordered back to their installations."

[Evangeline Anovilis]

"What goddamn claims?"

[Triyun]

Tianxia will not negotiate away a policy option before a negotiation begins.  Further as made crystal clear (and explained OOC on IRC) we will treat Republica and Paraguayan negotiations as separate as they have made explicitly separate and not joint claims.  Tianxia finds this insulting that Paraguay continues to ignore it.

 

Tianxia therefore finds itself after repeating itself on these issues time after time with the same thing, that it appears Paraguay has zero intention to negotiate.  Unless Paraguay immediately comes to the table without conditions recognizing the legitimacy of Tianxia and Dai Tohoku's purpose and the clear articulation, that Tianxia and Dai Tohoku will be in the right, having sought and not gotten a pacific outcome, to materially create the conditions for an acceptable political outcome through all elements of national power..

"We would like to inform all involved parties that Paraguayan Armed Forces have been ordered back to their barracks and installations in an effort to ease tensions. The Paraguayan government also issues a formal apology to Tianxia and Bolivia for making this situation worse than it already was."

Military Dispatch from the Holy American Empire:

 

Due to the extreme instability of the territory of Paraguay.  Military forces have been ordered from Bolivia to cross the border and seize critical infrastructure points, ports, air ports, and other critical facilities including the weapons manufacturing sectors.  These forces executed this mission after observing a series of extremely erratic behaviors by Paraguay vacilating between threatening the Empire, withdrawing the threat followed by an apology, and threatening again. This was followed by negotiations in which Paraguay introduced what can only be called babbling non-sense into discussions.

 

The latest of these incidents occurred on full display before the security council.  The objective of the Military forces in this instance will be to ensure a stable political settlement can be achieved.  

 

Negotiations may continue at some future point when there is a discussion that is ready to be substantive and have points of contrast.  We're tired of stalling.

 

With that airborne troops had begun their drops on the air port facilities, key land bridges, and industrial base sites from their bases in Bolivia into Paraguay as F-6 squadrons roamed the skies keeping others who may choose to intervene out.

Defense Intelligence Headquarters would provide the Tianxia Commonwealth allies with the accumulated data on airfields and topography, asking whether Renpōgun assistance was asked for or not in this action.

 

Meanwhile, the brigades at the Southern border would be made ready to cross the border on a moments notice.

"We, the Paraguayan people, wish to know what are the terms from the Tianxian government in order for us to no longer be under military occupation."

[Triyun]

TERMS OF PEACE:

 

1. Abdication of the current government and dissolving of the constitution.
2. Recognition of Imperial Authority as Head of State and Head of the Armed Forces with the power to veto treaties, constitutional changes, and dissolve governments.  The Emperor can appoint a Governor General should he so choose to act in his stead.  Alongside this recognition and acceptance of all claims by the Emperor in the Americas.
3. Adoption of a Parliamentary System of Government
4. Adoption of a Supreme Constitutional Court, with judges are appointed by Parliament but approved by the Emperor.  Supreme Constitutional Court shall review day to day laws.
5. Adoption of a new constitution in consultation with the Office of the Emperor which enshrines a demilitarization and guards against extreme political parties.
6. Replacement of Current Armed Forces with self defense forces lacking long range strike capabilities and capped at 50% force levels.
7. Restrictions on further military exports to approval of the Emperor.

 

We offer these terms avoiding specific inputs on policy, but allowing there to be a broad framework for your country to work within.  However, it will be up to you to police yourself under this framework, or your governments will be disbanded.  Should you behave yourself your autonomy will be left largely in tact at any given moment.

As President Celestina Scavo reviewed the terms of peace, she simply couldn't help herself but laugh. This piece of documentation finally brought to light, in her opinion, what has been the true motive behind all of the South American conflict. Tianxia wants to use their military power to take over the world with little compassion for those who differ with their political opinions and stand in their way of world domination.

[OOC- I am rerolling. Paraguay is up for grabs by Athens or Tianxia if they so wish.]

[Triyun]

With the abdication of the Paraguayan Government, Tianxia will place the district of Paraguay under our trusteeship for South America.

From: Office of the High Commissioner of Minami-Kechua

 

As the Paraguayan state seemingly has fallen under Imperial jurisdiction and responsibility, the Renpōgun would like to offer its services in the coordination of logistical efforts in the area, given the comparably secure hold of the Commonwealth on Bolivia and its proximity to Paraguay. as we assume that Imperial forces are sufficient to form an occupation force, I can hardly offer any support through military assets, as the Renpōgun is preparing defenses against possible Republica invasion.

 

Still, with the sudden collapse of the Paraguayan regime, we would like to send military intelligence officers to search and secure documents that may be of value in the future and which of course will also be compiled and provided to our commonwealth allies.

 

With regards,
