Lynneth Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 [quote]Note to the USA While we find it strange that you would require 30 visas, they have been granted. Do note however, that only official dipomats should receive such a visa. All of their staff received different visas.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 [quote name="Diplomatic Memo to the GDR"] We appreciate it, yeah, that's what I meant. I apologize, I'm still kind of new at this. Government is still getting organized here. We'll be there in about 12 hours. The other 29 are our diplomatic staff. Drivers, security (unless you're volunteering to provide that), and my immediate family. I look forward to meeting your personnel when I'm on the ground. See you in about 36 hours.

Lynneth Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 [quote]Note to the USA One diplomatic visa, 29 diplo-staff visas then. An embassy will be ready for you in Vienna when you arrive.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 After the diplomats had settled in at their new residence, another memo was forwarded to the foreign ministry.

Lynneth Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 [quote]Note to Joseph Von Hertz Place would be the Administration Tower outside of Berlin. Minister Westerwelle would have time later today, at around 17:00. Otherwise, in three days at 14:30. Which would you prefer?

Maelstrom Vortex Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 [quote name="Diplomatic Memo"] Seventeen Hundred today is good. I've had more than enough time to get settled in. Tell him I'll see him then. Regards, Ambassador Hertz [/quote] At the appointed time, Ambassador Hertz arrived by motorcade at the Administration Tower where he was escorted into the lobby to meet with Minister Westerwelle.

Lynneth Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Westerwelle was already standing in the lobby, raising his hand to greet the US-American. "Mister Hertz, welcome in the Administration Tower. If you'd follow me, please?" The German foreign minister walked to a large elevator, into which 50 people could easily fit. He pressed the button for the 15th floor, where the elevator's doors opened into a large room encompassing the entire floor. It had a number of large tables, each with a holographic projector. This room was made for large-scale or important diplomatic talks. They'd sit down at a central table. The hologram activated automatically, showing the GDR in green, the USA in blue on a 3D globe. "What exactly would you like to discuss, Mr. Hertz?" Edited May 22, 2010 by Lynneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) "There are a number of things. Germany is the economic power house of Europe. And there are many threats in both the U.S. and America to our well being, more ours than yours of course.. but as a collective, especially the not-so-rational communists they're still dangerous. In the old days there was an organization called NATO, are you familiar with the history?" He tilted his head evern so slightly to the left and politely waited for a response.

Lynneth Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 "Yes, I'm quite familiar with it. Like many other blocs in the past, it eventually failed, but was strong while it existed." He typed a few commands on the computer in front of him, and the holographic map in the middle changed, with NATO countries appearing in blue, in their original borders.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 "I think it was a very good idea that still has merits in this age. What do you think about the concept? Would you like to attempt to reform NATO?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynneth Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 "While it is a noble goal, there are two things preventing us from helping you reform it. The first is, we'd like to see that you actually have ample support to reform it. The second, we don't agree to treaties higher than NAPs or ODPs without long and healthy relations or a friendly history beforehand."

Maelstrom Vortex Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 That we can understand. Would you prefer to start with a NAP or an ODP? We would prefer an ODP. We can prove we have the ability to support it. We have the ability to deliver nuclear weapons globally and we have a mobile air force able to transit the Earth to support our allies should there potentially be a treaty activation. We can move troops on cargo transports and we are in the process of building a navy.. which is going to take a little while of course as the production time of ships is not a simple or fast affair. If you're talking about political support we're already in negotiations with most of the eastern seaboard entities in North America and have already signed one MDoAP with a MAD agreement with them, negotiations are ongoing with the others and seem to be progressing well. Is there any other test or measure you would like to use? Any other merits you have in mind you would like us to achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynneth Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 "I didn't mean military force. I meant political backing. Other nations supporting you. Not only in America, but also here in Europe. Anyways. Optional defense is fine for the time being." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Very well, since you know what you're comfortable with we think it is best you draft it. I think it'd be wise to also share intelligence and early warning systems. It's up to you if you wish to include a MAD clause as we have in many of our treaties thus far, nuclear defense is the same as nuclear deterrence and we'd not like to see any of our allies hit by nukes.

Lynneth Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Later, the Premier would sign the treaty, and an authentic copy would be sent to the USA for confirmation.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) The copy would then be ratified by congress on a slim party-line vote with the democrats using their majority to push the treaty through and signed by President Caudill.
