Maelstrom Vortex Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) "The Dragon Empire is willing to let this whole situation be settled if Tahoe and Pravus Ingruo pledge to uphold the North American claims that it can police itself by removing the belligerents in Mexico that were formerly the CFNA who have made racist and bigoted remarks against Asians around the world regardless of allegiance and support the new young Texas state in its bid to remain an independent force representing the people. We have yet to fire a shot in this war save in the defense of our own air forces.. and we do not have to. Our goal is simply the freedom of that state to handle its own international and sovereign affairs as well as to rebuke the patterns of behavior demonstrated by Mexico that have disgusted much of the world. There should be no place for that kind of evil anywhere." Tidus noted. "We have only tried to support Texas, because few others have shown the will to do so."

Otto Verteidiger Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 "Support Texas? When you first commented on the affair you favored us, then you betrayed our hopes. It's funny to see The Dragon Empire seek peace when it knows it's in a corner yet still talks as if it has the upper hand. While we do not wish for this war to continue, we reaffirm our alliance with the Confederacy, and hope Tahoe and Pravus Ingruo give out the terms, instead of the opposite way around."

Maelstrom Vortex Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 "We appreciated your government in the old days. It gave us a moments pause. After we gave it further consideration though, realizing that you would be overthrowing a democratically elected state after years of lack of guidance, we determined that supporting the free state was the right thing to do. We're sorry, but we can't support your rule over a people who have found their own voice." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael McBride Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 We will not declare peace with the Dragon Empire as it is not ours to declare. We entered this war in defense of our treaty partner, the Republic of Tahoe, and we will not leave until they choose to do so. Whatever terms Tahoe offers to the Dragon Empire, we will honor. However, until you reach peace with them, we are still at war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargun II Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 "We note that Dragon Empire will only declare peace if Tahoe declares war on another state. Essentially, the are attempting to bargain their life for the life of a younger, weaker state. This is a shameful and disgusting insight into the workings of the Dragon Empire."

Sargun II Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 "This war started because the Dragon Empire refused to listen to Tahoan warnings to turn back - Dragon Empire bombers were then fired upon when they attempted to go over Tahoan and thus Reich airspace after ignoring a legitimate warning. The Dragon Empire then declared war on Tahoe. If you had such good intentions, why did you not simply take the route through the Imperium of Man which would add very much time to the trip? Twenty bombers flying over hostile territory does not paint a pretty picture." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maelstrom Vortex Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 "They had the opportunity to talk for 30-60 more minutes before breaching the airspace. They chose not to. We could have changed our route, but at the time the Reich wasn't even formed yet and all we wanted was simple Transit. We were no threat to Tahoe, and never had been. Then they fired on our aircraft. The territory wasn't even owned by any particular sovereign yet, though protected by Tahoe.. and our aircraft were not threatening that space. The simple answer is it takes less fuel to go that route, and we were hoping Tahoe would be reasonable." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manetheren Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 The attempt to bully Tahoe into effectively carrying out the Dragon Empire's own plans is telling, and as such your peace offer is summarily rejected. It may just be time for a regime change in the Dragon Empire. Come back with rational terms if you desire peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Wilding Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 So, North America seems to have not recovered from the Republic of Biff, we see. If we knew of this earlier, then we would have come to the Empire's assistance. And with that Hae Da Fung officially delcares war on all enemies of the Dragon Empire.

Manetheren Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 They refused an order to turn around after making it perfectly clear they intended to violate our airspace. It is usually a good idea in warfare to destroy threats before they can cause major damage, and that is what was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
