Giving the Bear a Hug

The following message would be sent to the Russian foreign ministry:

 

 

Comrades in Russia,

 

It is the opinion of us in the Afro-Russo Communist Front that increased friendly relations with our Russian friends is necessary. It was you who stood with us against the Legion's illegal and unprovoked invasion, a kind act that will not soon be forgotten.

 

Therefore, we request a meeting in Moscow at the soonest possible time. Foreign Minister Richard Hartfield will be dispatched once confirmation of the meeting has been sent.

 

- President Maximilian Ionaster

Upon his arrival in Moscow, the Sierra Leonean foreign minister would be greeted by Russian Foreign Minister Matvei A. Denisov. After exchanging initial greetings, the visiting delegation would be escorted to a prepared conference room at the Kremlin for the meeting.
 
Once the translators indicated their readiness, the Russian Foreign Minister spoke:
 
[i]“On behalf of the Russian monarchy and on behalf of Prime Minister Antonin Boskovic, permit me to officially welcome you to Moscow and to express the hope that the ties between Russia and Sierra Leone may continue to be marked by warm and sincere friendship.
 
We understand that you wished to meet with us as soon as possible to discus a matter of some importance?”[/i] –Denisov

"Again, we thank you and the city of Moscow for hosting us. As we stated in the initial outreach, your assistance to the people of Sierra Leone and your campaign for us in the UN Security Council is not easily forgotten."

 

Hartfield would reach into his suitcase and pull out a prepared treaty, and slid it over to Foreign Minister Denisov.

 

"I would hope this meets with your government's approval. If you have any modifications, do not hesitate to make them."

After carefully examining the document, the Foreign Minister would add his signature to the document and forward it to the monarchy and the relevant legislative body for final approval. Given the Foreign Minister's decision to keep the government informed of the developments as they occurred, the approval was all but guaranteed.

"Yes, currently the Sierra Leonean military is exploring new branches of specialized troops, specifically paratroopers. While Athenian trainers and assistance is more than welcomed, our generals have requested Russian trainers to assist in the creation of paratrooper regiments in the Sierra Leonean Army. We can provide housing and increased pay for any members you send over, should you wish to do so."

[i]“Certainly. We would be willing to provide 100 Russian military trainers to aid in that initiative. May I propose the following agreement to outline the specifics of the deployment of military trainers and, should the Sierra Leonean government wish, it may form the template of similar future initiatives between our countries. Would this draft text be acceptable?”[/i]-Denisov

 

 

[b][u]Russo-Sierra Leonean Military Advisor/Trainer Agreement[/b][/u]

 
The government of the Greater Russian Empire shall provide 100 military trainers to facilitate specialized training of the Sierra Leonean Armed Forces.
 
The government of Sierra Leone shall be responsible for the housing and safety of the aforementioned military trainers for the duration of their stay in Sierra Leone.
 
The salaries of the aforementioned military trainers shall be paid jointly by Russia and Sierra Leone (in an 80/20 percentage structure) for the duration of their training mission.
 
Should any issues arise involving the deployment of the military trainers which require arbitration, said arbitration shall be conducted jointly by the Greater Russian Empire and Sierra Leone utilizing a mutually acceptable system of arbitration.
 
This agreement takes effect upon the arrival of the first military trainers to Sierra Leone and shall end upon the completion of the training mission (or in case of an emergency upon the withdrawal of the personnel from Sierra Leone).
