Legantium, The Republic of Legantus

Silvanus sat in his desk, a map on the table. Small pins littered Victorum. The sides of his desk were littered with intelligence reports and news articles. In his hand was a notice from Gilead, no doubt to discuss the very situation he was looking at.

And frankly, he didn't see any reason to follow them in.

Sure, the Fascists had become a big problem, very quickly, but the Communists were still around and kicking. Intel reported that Verksana hadn't yet committed their full might, and it was apparent that neither Austiana or Dawinia were fielding their full forces either. On top of that, Melzae (Or Meluha or whatever they were calling themselves now) hadn't made any moves yet.

Besides, they could just kill each other. Save everyone else the trouble.

Still, Gilead was an important ally. Silvanus reasoned it would be worth it to hear what he had to say. He keyed up his computer, and responded.

In Response to HM Gregorious
 
I would be honored to accept. These are definitely dangerous times, and in times such as these it pays to keep your allies close. I will bring my Defense minister with me in this meeting. I hope we can come to an agreement on how to respond to these matters.

Respectfully,

Lucius Silvanus
President of the Republic of Legantus

Heavengate, Gilead
The following Saturday


The 747 came down on the tarmac at Heavensgate. The red and white aircraft came to a rest, and the stairwell was brought up. As usual, there was a crowd of reporters between the aircraft and the motorcade. Silvanus sighed. He never liked reporters, but at least the ones in Legantus had some common curtesy.... Most of the time. The ones here acted as if anyone allied with their nation was somehow subservient, nothing more than an extention of Gilead's will. Silvanus forced a smile and waved, walking past the reporters and tuning out their shouted questions before getting in the car. The Presidential aircraft's escort, two F22As, flew low over the crowd as the car begain moving.

Gregorius himself had come out of the Palace, which he hadn't done in months except in special cases, to welcome his friend, President Silvanus.

As the place taxied into the private terminal for foreign diplomats, the Elitist Guards drove him over to meet the incoming President. The crowd's attention quickly turned from Silvanus and his party to bow in respect to the King.

"Welcome to your home away from home, Silvanus!" Gregorius shouted, before embracing him and beginning to escort him over to their car.

"It is good to be back, my friend." He followed the King to the car, which would transport them to the Palace. "I'm not exactly pleased at the circumstances, but I expect we can resolve those."

The doors of the car closed, and began driving off. Silvanus relaxed a little, glad to finally be away from the crowd. He smiled a bit at Gregorius. “I expect you get tired of hearing me say this, but I really hate reporters. Some of them are all right, but as of late I’ve been bombarded with questions from them every time I leave the Capitol Building. More than usual, I mean. All they keep asking about is the war in Victorum. I’m beginning to understand why the Verksanans, Dawinians, and Austianans outlawed all press not under their direct control. Too many damn questions.” He smiled a bit. “Not that either of us would do that, but I understand the temptation.”

"You too?" the King responded while laughing, "Why, I used to be able to ignore a lot of things, but when almost an entire nation wants war, it's a bit hard to deny the people a glimpse into your decision making process." He paused for a moment as they both mused at the thought, "You know, I'm surprised you didn't fly into my private port over in HeavenYard like you so often do. No matter though."

As they drove through HeavenGate to HeavenYard, the Estate on which the Palace of Majesty resides, news vans continued to attempt to get near the vehicle, but the motorcade was not about to give in. "Pesky rascals" is what Gregorius called them while looking over intel on his tablet device.

They arrived at the palace within a half hour and walked up to the entrance before going to the King's personal library, his favorite meeting place. Silvanus didn't even need to be led.

"Blame it on the Damn State department. Advised me to make a 'Visible' entrance. Something about affirming our diplomatic relationship. As if anyone doesn't understand it already."

He entered the library just behind the King, and followed him up the stairs to the third floor before sitting down in front of the table where they usually conducted these meetings.

"Now," He said, leaning forward a bit, "What are we going to do with the world?"

"Well," Gregorius responded, "the other allies will be here tomorrow, but I thought that we could discuss events in the Reval, "he placed his hand over glass a table and a map was projected upon it.

"My primary concern lies with the new Dawinian Emperor's redirection of focus to the Gileadan continents. I hear whispers that he will acquire Auvernia as a vassal state, which I don't doubt. What's more is that he has threatened President Freeland with direct warfare in attempt to transform them into a vassal state as well."

"Secondly, in the region of the Ramadan Gulf Coasts, the Anax is expanding his dominion as we speak, and nearby nations are beginning to pull out of isolationism as a response. I fear we may see an escalation of the hostile sort."

He sighed, leaning back in his seat, taking a sip of wine, then looking at the President.

"I agree that Dawinia's re-focus does not bode well for the future. I've heard the same information about Aurvernia, though they're small enough that it isn't a terribly huge concern. I admit the possibility of Dawinia going to war with Medai is troubling, but I don't think we need to get involved too heavily. For all their annoying overblown sense of power, they do have enough of a military that Dawinia will have difficulty beating them." Silvanus smiled a bit. "Besides, we can benefit from this. Think: Both sides will need munitions, as neither has the capability to manufacture all they need domestically. A lot of countries won't sell to them because they're worried about expansion or simply because Dawinia's still 'unstable'. Our arms industries can make massive profits."

Silvanus shrugged. "As for Anax, he's a relatively small player on the world stage, and he knows it. Current thinking over at State is that he's just scrambling to solidify his position before someone tries to add his nation to their empire. We shouldn't have to worry about him for a while."

Gregorius leaned forward a bit, thinking over what Silvanus had said. "I agree, the Medaians are a stubborn people, but I won't have them fight the fight for freedom alone. As for the Anax, I don't worry that he's much of a threat to us, but if his neighbors find him so, then they may react, dragging in other powers in their favor. I myself have an alliance with Ramadanhir, so I'll keep my eyes and ears very active there."

"I doubt the Medaians would be alone. They've been trying to build alliances with the smaller nations: I think at least a few of them would pitch in. It's not something we should worry about, in any case. It'll be their own damn fault for poking the proverbial bear with that ultimatum. As for Anax, I'll leave that area to you. I've been focusing more on Melzae, myself." Silvanus shook his head. "I'm worried it might become a shipping hazard. Their alliance with Austiana and Dawinia went down the tubes with the regime change, and they cut themselves off from pretty much everyone else."

"It seems that their "allies" withdraw support. An alliance of neutral states, pah. Might as well make a "do nothing" alliance. And Melzae. Hmmm. I need to hem to return to good standing with Gileadan business...Legantians as well. We're losing too much money, and the genocide can't go unanswered."

"We'll see about their allies. Most are relatively small. They probably would jump at the boost to their own international prestige that winning a war with Dawinia would bring. Especially since Medai's focused the ire on them. Dawina doesn't have the recourses to attack all of them at once without leaving themselves wide open... not something they would want to do right now. As for Melzae," Silvanus said, "I agree that we'd need to do something. I think it would be a good idea to wait a bit before taking them on. We'd need to focus only on them, if just because of their numbers."

Gregorius glanced over the map before them, deciding to leave the discussion about Medai's allies for another time. He thought on Silvanus' words concerning Melzae. He always considered Silvanus an unofficial military adviser of sorts, so his words had sway in the King's mind. Finally, he replied, "Yes, there numbers are initially impressive; however, the people there are restless. You can imagine how hundreds of millions of people can really benefit from the mob mentality if they want to oust their dictator. I mean, he's ended family lines, interrupted many freedoms their people once enjoyed, and with virtually all foreign investment being pulled out, especially those from Gilead, Melzae is now in shambles. And they want war with Silva for territorial expansion? Ha. I say, we hit their people with heavy propaganda, rallying their support, then we can target the dictator directly. Everyone knows that a regime falls when you cut the head off. What do you think?"

Silvanus sat there, thinking. "If you can figure out how to start a rebellion, I can arm and support it. The hard part will be igniting the rebellion... without causing the wrong groups to gain power. Last I heard, one of the original Vasconian rebels was causing trouble there. We need to keep his group out of the public consciousness, small and relatively powerless."
