Cascadia-New Babylon

[Zoot Zoot]

"Mr Saunders I don't understand the question. Are you asking to house your own military formation in the Imperial base with Babylonian soldiers? If that is the case I must reject that notion. It would be a breach of fundamental national security. It also places the Imperial base at risk of being assaulted by any threat to Cascadia who is trying to eliminate Cascadias military forces. Such actions could cripple the base and make any defence of Cascadia futile."

[Dillon1102]

"How does it effect your countries national security? If anything it effects ours greatly! A foreign military presence within our borders going unchecked. That gives no sense of security to my government."

[Zoot Zoot]

"Sharing ONE military installation between two nations is a breach of national security. It provides you with a way into our secure networks and likewise for you. We have an optional defence agreement, is that not trust enough?".

[Dillon1102]

"I'm not understanding how it is a breach of security. Nations have shared bases before. For example, Germany and the United States, The Republic of Korea and the United States, and a few others. The optional defense treaty is nice but some of our generals are worried about an attack from the inside."

[Zoot Zoot]

"New Babylon has no interest in attack North American states, it works better in our favour to maintain their security for the purpose of trade until such a point we are not needed anymore like you pointed out earlier.

 

I cannot sign an agreement which places two forces on one base, the threat is too high for both forces to be obliterated in one strike. If you cannot agree to this, the deployment of boots on the ground can be cancelled in favour of the naval-air station."

[Dillon1102]

"We will just see how the citizens respond to the soldiers these next six months. If there are little to no problems, they stay. If there are problems, we can reduce the amount or remove them. Also I'm required to notify you of Victoria island and our plans to annex it."

[Zoot Zoot]

"Victoria island in Canada or Nigeria?"

[Dillon1102]

"Victoria island, British Columbia, Canada."

[Zoot Zoot]

"Ok, I can agree to the compromise. If, after six months the population is unhappy with the conduct of Imperial Forces, the ground force will be removed, leaving only the airbase and naval station. Does that sound fair?"

[Dillon1102]

"It seems I have made a very large mistake! I meant Vancouver island! Not Victoria island. Anyways are we ready to sign?"

[Dillon1102]

Jacks phone went off. He quickly answered and talked on it for no more than thirty seconds. "It seems New Horizon has just threatened to invade in a few months!"

[Zoot Zoot]

Startled, the Babylonian snapped.

 

"Enough messing around Mr Saunders, are we signing this agreement or not? We have finalized all the details, are we signing?"

 

Leaning down, Darius would sign the document.

[Dillon1102]

Jack signed the document, and shrunk. "If New Horizon invades, will New Babylon give support?"

[Zoot Zoot]

"If Cascadia activates the treaty, Babylon will respond".

[Dillon1102]

"After they are defeated what do you suppose happens with the territory? Would Cascadia and Babylon joint administer?"

[Zoot Zoot]

'The territory would be administered by Cascadia, Babylon has no territorial interests in North America."

[Dillon1102]

"Ok that makes sense. How long do you think the war would last? Also how many men do you think it will take?

[Zoot Zoot]

'Depends on a variety of things really. The competence of your military, the competence of their military, who has the bigger guns and the better Generals is what it comes down to. As for casualties, it depends how large any initial attack would be and what it took to steady the line before a counter attack. Dont worry about it at the moment. Concentrate on preparing your defences and preparing your people for a war Saunders. I will have Imperial Forces deployed here within the month."
