Presidential Manor
Kaliningrad, Rusnya


Christian Becker knocked on the main presidential conference room at the Presidential Manor before entering. Inside, President Amsel sat with his staff. It was the first official meeting Amsel had held since his discharge from the hospital, and ironically was of the utmost importance. Amsel was aware of the cooperative mission with the Legantians to send Becker to report back on the meeting of the so-called "Brothers", Valkany, Gilead, Legantus, and Verskana. However, he was unaware of the exact details of what the meeting entailed; that was about to change.

"Ah, Christian, come in," said Amsel, as Becker took a seat at the conference table. "Now, I assume you have some sensitive information to share with us, yes?"

"Most certainly, Mr. President," said Becker, pulling out a thumbdrive that contained digitized copies of the notes he and Silvanus took at the Brothers in Arms meeting. He plugged the thumb drive in to the console, where it was projected onto the large screen in the conference room. Amsel and his staff read the notes taken by Becker.

"Imperialism....Valkanian insistence of continued Victorium imperialism....false flag operations....it got messy fast, lots of bickering between the four from what I saw," said Becker, displaying his notes.

Amsel sat, staring and the screen, his lips pursed and shaking his head in disappointment. "So, the Gileadeans and the Valkanians see us as a simple pawn...they expect us to simply bow down to them because of their 'superpower' status..."

Silence absorbed the room for a few moments, before Amsel let out a heavy sigh, "There was a time when I truly believed that an alliance with the Valkanians and the Gileadeans would help bolster our world position...sadly I was wrong."

Chief Advisor Leonov spoke up, "We shouldn't expect anything different from imperialists, Heinrich. They only seek to further their own agenda. It almost seems like a desperate attempt to save their fading influence. It's clear that imperialism has hurt the world for far too long."

"Agreed, Mr. President," said Becker. "In my honest opinion, further aligning ourselves with imperialists will simply maintain the status quo rather than increase the influence of democracy in the world. At this stage, breaking away from Gilead and Valkany would be the most beneficial for us in the long run."

Amsel looked off to the side, pondering the idea. Valkany and Gilead were the first nations to step in and protect Rusnya from the possibility of the Victorium war, but Becker and Leonov were right. The two nations were only out to further their own interests, and the spread of democracy would likely be at the bottom of their agenda. Finally, Amsel spoke, "We'll initiate the split. It's time we align ourselves with like-minded nations. Andrei," said Amsel, speaking to the Deputy Secretary of Foreign Affairs, "have the Foreign Affairs Department draft up a letter to the Valkanians. We'll deal with the Gileadeans later."

The President rose from his seat, "Christian, follow me." The two men exited the room together.

"We're getting in touch with the Legantians, I want to arrange for a meeting between myself and President Silvanus."

"Yes, Mr. President," responded Becker.

"I also want you to accompany me there," said Amsel, smiling. "You performed a great service for your country, and I'm sure Silvanus agrees, given the sheet of paper he sent back with you." Amsel put his hand on Becker's shoulder, "Now, let's get to work, Mr. Ambassador."

To Emperor Demetrius
The Empire of Valkany


Emperor Demetrius,

Long and hard deliberation has been taken by the government of the Federation of Rusnya, and we regret to inform you that we will be cancelling the Valkanian-Rusnyan Mutual Defense Pact, effective immediately.

We wish not to align ourselves with a nation who has imperialistic ambitions. It is our belief that we have a moral obligation to refuse to further the interests of believers in a principle as dated as imperialism. Diplomacy can and will be continued, but we should reiterate that we shall no longer abide by the defensive pact between our two countries.

Sincerely,

Andrei Harkov

To President Silvanus
The Republic of Legantus


President Silvanus,

Upon further review of Mr. Christian Becker's findings at the Brothers in Arms Meet, we would like to inform you of our cancellation of our pact with the Empire of Valkany. The ideological differences between Valkany and Rusnya are too great, and would prove to be detrimental to us in the long run.

That brings me to my main point. Interaction between Legantus and Rusnya has been sparse up until the past few weeks, but the goals we share are significant. The Republic of Legantus and the Federation of Rusnya are two nations at the forefront of the fight for the promotion of democracy on Noverra. That being said, I would like to arrange an official summit between the leadership of our two countries, at a location of your choosing. We look forward to your response, and may democracy prevail.

Most sincerely,

Heinrich Amsel
President of the Federation of Rusnya

To the attention of the government of the Federation of Rusnya,

We are deeply saddened by this move. We would like however to remind you that clauses of the Mutual Defence Agreement dictate that should one party decide to cancel the agreement the other should be notified six (VI / 6) months in advance. Thus our pact is still effective for 6 more months. Furthermore such a move might cause us to rescind permission from your aerospace industries to produce Valkanian products, such as the Harrier VTOL aircraft and any similar technologies. We would like to meet with your leadership to if possible restore our good relations, for such a sudden and clearly unfreindly move might cause a breakdown in our longtime diplomacy. We have always seen you as our closest ally, even closer than Gilead and we were your first ally and trade partner after the fall of the Vartsayev Regime. A rupture in our relations would benefit neither party and damage both.

Most sincerely,
Gaius Egnatius Decimus, Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs

Kaliningrad, Rusnya
One week later


The letter from the Valkanians sat in front of Amsel at his desk. One of the members of the Joint Chiefs, General Meyers, sat with Amsel in his office.

"Well, it didn't take long to piss the Valkanians off," said Meyers.

Amsel shrugged, "It's not as if they should've expected to have us be under their influence anyway. Plus, their Emperor is completely wrong about the pact," said Amsel, pulling out a copy of the Valkanian-Rusnyan Mutual Defense Pact. "Let's see....ah here it is, 'Article V: The signatories may cancel this treaty at any time, given one week's notice before doing so.' I have no idea where he's getting six months from, but as of now the pact is officially voided."

"And threatening to rescind our production of the AV-8B," laughed Meyers, "It's an obsolete aircraft anyway, we've been in the process of replacing it with the F-35 for months. If that's the biggest threat they can throw at us then I highly doubt we'll have anything to worry about."

Nodding, Amsel responded, "Agreed, we can hurt them a lot more than they hurt us. Namely, oil to power their navy, perhaps...." Amsel thought for a moment, then said, "But not now, we'll see how far the Valkanians are willing to push before we enact such a harsh decision."

Amsel stood up and stared out the window, giving a perfect view of downtown Kaliningrad, with Meyers joining him. "It disappoints me that our relations broke down in this manner," sighed Amsel, "But perhaps Valkany, as well as Gilead, will learn to see Rusnya as something more than their Eastern Victorium whore that they only call when they need her."

Imperial Foreign Office
The Empire of Valkany


To the government of the Empire of Valkany,

We must point out a grave error in your assessment of the former pact our two nations shared. Had you read closely, you would notice that the pact is cancelled one week upon notification from the cancelling party. As a week has officially passed since our decision to enact the cancellation clause in our pact, it is now officially null and void.

On another note, your threat to rescind permission of the AV-8B Harrier II holds no weight. The AV-8B is a product of Meinhard-Drugov Industries and Meinhard-Drugov Industries alone. Yes, the design was derived from the original Valkanian Harrier, but the Harrier II is a completely different aircraft from the original Harrier. As such, we possess our own licensing rights to the Harrier II. Further, we are currently in the process of a full-scale replacement of the Harrier II with the Legantian F-35, as the Harrier is fast becoming obsolete for the needs of the Rusnyan military.

Should you attempt to pursue action against the Federation of Rusnya's right to produce its own military aircraft, we will consider much harsher actions against the Empire of Valkany, of which may include an embargo on exporting Rusnyan oil.

Choose your path carefully,

Heinrich Amsel
President of the Federation of Rusnya

To the attention of the government of the Federation of Rusnya,

The VTOL technology is Valkanian no matter how much you try to claim it as yours. If you continue production without our permission I'm afraid we will be the ones copying your own technologies.

Still you also made an error on the pact as our pact is still effective for one more week. Since it seems you are not interesetd in a dialogue we will summon your ambassador in Saint Demetrium to ensure one happens anyway.

Your oil embargo would not only not hurt us, as we already use solely Valkanian oil from the Valkanian colonies and rigs in the North Ocean, but a similar action from us, considering our place in he world economy and much larger production of goods and resources than you, would efectively cripple you.

All of this can be avoided. Alas if you really want to drop the Mutual Defence Pact we could continue our relations normally in all other sectors, though your credibility has been severly damaged in our eyes.

Most sincerely,
Gaius Egnatius Decimus, Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs

"...And I believe it is safe to say that production in that mine will be temporarily below our projections, it shouldn't effect long-term shipments."

Silvanus nodded and wondered why the hell he needed to be notified if it wasn't going to effect anything and no one died. He also wondered why his cabinet meetings were full of information like this. It wasn't good that these meetings got so cluttered.

"Anything else? I've got a meeting in the Capitol to get to."

One of the Undersecretaries SecState brought with him spoke up.

"Actually, sir, we just got a message from the Rusnyan president. He would like to meet with you."

Silvanus glared at the Undersecretary, and then swept his gaze across the table.

"OK, From now on, we're going to order these meetings. I'm sick of having my time wasted with meaningless reports. From now on, it's War, Diplomacy, important domestic issues, and then issues that in no way require our intervention!" He turned back to the Undersecretary. "I'll send a reply after I find out what the Senators are all up in arms about. Be ready to send it." He marched out of the room. A moment afterwords, the Defense Secretary leaned over to his counterpart at State.

"I told you we should have lead with that."

An Official Message from the Legantian State Department





To President Amsel of Runsya,

I was extremely glad to receive your message. Our two nations are lone bastions of democracy in a world overrun with kingdoms and dictatorships. Stronger relations between our nations would be beneficial to both our our peoples, and with luck will help show the rest of the world that this grand experiment we call Democracy can succeed. I look forward to meeting you in Legantium soon.



Sincerely,

Lucius Paternius Silvanus

The Emperor and the Foreign Minister stood at the Hall of Glass of the Central Imperial Palace, discussing what to do concerning the recent fallout with Rusnya.
"Your Majesty, should we summon their ambassador?" asked the Minister;
"Nay." awnsered the Emperor; "That would breed life into the rumors about our diplomatic incident with Rusnya. Plus we should try a friendly approach. No matter what happens the Rusnyans are our friends and allies. Even if not officially. I wouldn't allow anyone to harm or insult them, especially my own Ministers. Send an invite to the Rusnyan Ambassador in Saint Demetrium. Make it as kind as possible. Should that fail we shall summon them but in secrecy."

Lukin looked out the window of his office at the Rusnyan embassy in St. Demetrium. Protests against the current government were constant. For now, they were peaceful, but the Ambassador kept his guard up regardless.

Lukin was preparing to exit the embassy for the Imperial Central Palace, having gotten the communique from the Valkanians the day before. Gathering up a portfolio detailing the current state of relations between Valkany and Rusnya, Lukin exited the embassy to its garage, entering his personal vehicle. Pulling out of the garage, Lukin could still see several large groups of protesters being held back by police. He shook his head and began his drive to the Imperial Palace.

The Riot Police, supported by the Territorial Auxiliar Ground Forces and the Imperial Dalmatian Constabulary held the protesters back opening a route for the Ambassador's Car to move to. While there were no protests with two blocks of the Palace, since riot police had made sure to keep the area clear and close off the nearby Metro Stations, Security was tight in case backup was needed to reinforce the police barricades near the palace. At the palace the Granadier Honour Guard was waiting for the Ambassador whom they received with a band and full honours, however the slogans of the protesters and the sound of horse steps, probably from the Mounted Riot Police, occasionally disrupted by the sound of tear gas and flashbang grandes being fired could be heard from the Palace.
Near the Imperial Palace's Gardens, Two Helicopters were ready on the Helicopter Pad in case the meeting needed to be moved to the Imperial Summer Palace, outside the urban area and very well secured, for security reasons.

The Imperial Grenadier Guard's Military Band started playing upon the Ambassador's arrival while the Imperial Grenadier Guards stood in attention. The Ambassador was received at the entrance of the palace by the Emperor himslef.

Ambassador Lukin exited his car, nodding at the band playing, to be greeted by the Valkanian Emperor at the entrance of the Imperial Palace. Lukin shook the Emperor's hand, "Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you once again. Quite the commotion in St. Demetrium lately, eh?"

"What would you like to eat Your Excellency? We have a variety of plates warm and ready you can find a list in front of you. Would you like something to drink?" asked the Emperor after sitting down; Having grown up in comfort he was a kind man, offently forgeting mroe pushing matter and giving more importance to formalities.

A waiter waited next to the men ready to take the orders.

Lukin was flattered by the Emperor's hospitality. "For a diplomatic meeting, he sure is putting a lot of thought into it," thought Lukin as he perused the menu. "Hmm, I'll have the lobster with a glass of the Istrian red wine," he said, handing the menu to the waiter.

"You Valkanians sure do seem to love your seafood," smiled Lukin, "In Rusnya it's all beef and potatoes, the seafood is a nice change of pace for once."

"Haha, we do. It's all we ever eat actually. When my delegates where in Rusnya a couple of months ago I'm sure they felt relieved to finally be eating proper beef without going into so fast food chain." replied Demetrius;

He turned o the waiter;

"I'll have a Lobster with Lexian White Wine, the 12% one."

The waiter bowed before picking up the menus and heading to the kitchen.

"That should buy us a couple of minutes alone Mr. Ambassador. Now, how do I say this, it would seem that most recently your nation decided to cancel our Mutual Defence Pact. While I know not the reason, though it does intrigue me to find out, I have full faith that you did what is best for your country and your people. It did cause a little incident with my sadly warm headed Foreign Minister, for which I'm teribly sorry, but all that is not why I invited you here."

The waiter arrived delivering two bottles of wine, two glasses and two plates of lobster.
"Thank you, Invictus."
He bowed once more and then exited the room.

The Emperor took a sip of wine and then continued.

"You see Mr. Ambassador I'm here to ensure that our relations in other sectors, say in the economic one where we have a trade agreement, do not detiriorate further. That would be in our best interest would it not? Though the ways things are going I might not be the one you'll be speaking to very soon." he said while looking out the window;

Lukin took a couple of bites of his food before speaking. "I can assure you that as of now our trade agreements will be honored, Your Majesty. Seeing as Valkany is one of our primary trade partners, it would be foolish to completely cut off trade. That being said, the embargo on oil is certainly a possibility with the threats the Imperial Foreign Office made regarding our production of the AV-8B. While it may be detrimental to both of us, I can assure you that President Amsel is intent on following through with that if it needs to be done."

Lukin took a sip of wine, staring out the window at the protesters, "As far as our pact goes, which we do consider cancelled, it was simply a matter of what we saw as best for us in the long run. Long and hard deliberation was made before we enacted the cancellation clause in the pact, but it has come down to the fact that aligning ourselves with imperialists would not serve us well. Trust me, I do believe the President could have gone about it more...gently, so to speak, but I agree with him 100%. President Amsel is seeking to align with like-minded nations, and unfortunately he doesn't see Valkany as fitting that criteria."
