The Greater Prussian Imperial News Network

Outside Kremlin Palace, Derscon

Ivan Narminov, the top field reporter of GPINN and ex-host anchor for the Dersconi National News Network (which used to be known as Imperial News Network), was taking a drink of his water when the camera was turned on, focusing on the massive Palace. Ivan set down his water, and when cued, began speaking to the camera.

"Good afternoon, I am Ivan Narminov for GPINN. Alexei Andropov, the Arch-Chancellor of Greater Prussia, called for an urgent press conference. This was seen as a surprise to many people, as Dersconi Czar's tend to avoid the press as much as possible, leading critics to believe that it affects the entire international community, not simply an internal affair.

"Ah, here he is, the Czar of Derscon."

Alexei walked up to the podium with the microphones and arranged his speech papers, which were purely for ceremonial purposes -- he already memorized it, and there were tele-promt-ers on all of the cameras. He cleared his throat and began speaking.

"Citizens of Derscon, and people of the International Community,

A few days ago, something very serious occured that affects the Greater Prussian Empire. Emperor Napoleon suffered a large head injury, and was rushed to the hospital, where he was in a critical state. A few hours later, he slipped into a coma, and has not awoken since.

After confirmation from several doctors that the Emperor was in a state of suspended animation for more than three days, it was clear that he would not be waking up any time soon.

Henceforth, by the powers rested in me as Arch-Chancellor, I am declaring that Napoleon Francois Charles Joseph de Sanglant, Emperor of Greater Prussia, no longer fit for the duties of the office of Ruler of the Greater Prussian Empire.

As Arch-Chancellor, when the Emperor is no longer fit for command, the powers of the Crown pass on to me. As of now, The title of Emperor of Greater Prussia, as well as its powers, glouries, and responsibilities, fall into my hands as de facto Emperor of Greater Prussia.

For the time being, I will not appoint a fill-in Arch-Chancellor.

I ask that everyone keep Napoleon in their prayers.

Good night, and God Bless the Greater Prussian Empire."

Fedor read over the report sent to him from die Kaiserliche Intelligenz für nationalen Sicherheitsdienst [IINSA], and he whisteled almost to himself. He had been waiting for the opportunity to enter the politics of the Greater Prussian Empire ever since Psychotic Psychos had defected from there to Imperial Armies. Indeed, from that point fowards he had found what the Shogun had explained about the Greater Prussian Empire as extremely intrguing, and the international policies of nations such as Allanea, who had unfortunately departed the regional alliance for Haven.

This most recent report, putting Emperor Napoleon IV as unfit to rule, had been most interesting to Fedor and to the IINSA combined. Indeed, it seemed as if the Czar of Derscon had used the situation to plop command of the Greater Prussian Empire on his shoulders. If one didn't understand the politics of the region it could be easily misunderstood for an attempt of Derscon to gain full control of the Greater Prussian Empire. But alas, not only did Fedor understand a bit more of the situation than just that, but it didn't really matter to him. He was in a state of War of Succession, and he had little use to begin to direct his policy belligerently towards Derscon, or towards the Greater Prussian Empire in general.

Consequently, he gaves orders to the IINSA to continue their research on the area and to continously fill him in with incoming information. He would slowly creep into Greater Prussian politics, and at some point he may even become an important figure, although he would always stay in Imperial Armies. Regardless, his goal was to increase his diplomatic influence in the region, and so therefore, he would use this particular circumstance for exactly that.

Fedor rubbed his right temple with his fingers and then dropped his right hand to pick up a pen, taking out a slip of paper with his left hand from his oak desk. He would write his telegram to the Greater Prussian Empire by hand, and this would be re-written onto a computer sequence, which would then be sent by sattelite to the Czar, now commander of the Greater Prussian Empire.


To: All Whom It May Concern

I give my condolesence to the family of Emperor Napoleon IV, who have to live with the damage done to Napoleon after his head injury. This sorrow also passes to Napoleon IV, although I did not know him at all. If it may be possible I wish to know a bit more on how this injury was concocted.

Nonetheless, I want to personally congratulate the Czar of Derscon for his accension to the commanding rank of the Greater Prussian Empire, and I want to take this chance to evolve relations between the Second Empire of the Golden Throne and the Greater Prussian Empire.

As you very well may know, Psychotic Psychos did leave the Greater Prussian Empire for an allegiance within the ranks of Imperial Armies. Consequently, there might be wounds to men, and I wish to take this time to do that.

Regardless, I leave you now, and I wait patiently for your response.

The Grand Vizzer Bron el'Po Rystal and de facto Head of State until a new Emperor was elected from the sprawlling Rystal Royal Family looked at the shake up in Derscon with only minimal concern. He typed up a small message for Derscon.

To All Concerned,

I, the de facto ruler of Khallayne at this time give my congraduations to Alexei Andropov who has become Czar of Derscon in the Greater Prussian Empire. I also extend condolances for the level of chaos that always comes with such change.

Himura Kenshin, once Shogun of the proud nation of Pschycotic Pschycos sputtered coffee up and down the front of his kimono as he read the news while sitting in one of the numerous airport cafes he had inhabited for the past year or so. He fumbled around and found a piece of dry parchment for a letter:

Dear Czar Alexi Andropov,

I would at this time like to express my sincerest sympathy for the Emperor's family. Also, I would like to express them for you because of the extra weight you have on your shoulders. I congradulate you on your new position and power, and wish you luck in dealing with the politics of the complex region that is Greater Prussia.

Sincerely,

Dear Kenshin,

Thank you for your letter, it has been awhile. How has your rouroni life been treating you? Remember, you're always welcome in Derscon. I know at least you, unlike PP's current shogun, is friendly towards Derscon and Greater Prussia.

God Bless,

Alexei

King John of Cherry Ridge and Burgundy saw the report, and shook his head. He glanced at his papers, and then told an aide,
"Press conference in the gardens at once."

An OSS satelite was about to broadcast the government report all over CR and Burgundy.

King John stepped to the podium and began,
"Ladies and Gentlemen of Greater Prussia, Burgundy, Cherry Ridge. I come to you tonight with bad news. As you have doubtless heard, Emperor Napoleon Francois Charles Joseph de Sanglant has slipped into a coma. I am praying for all close to him, as well as for Czar Andropov, who is taking on a great task. Though his approval ratings weren't always high, he was, doubtless, a great man, and still is. I am calling on all of you to pray for Emperor Napoleon. Thank You."
Cardinal De Vito tood up and began,
"Though not a Catholic, it is our dity to pray for all. Let us begin in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen." He said the Our Father, blest everyone, and stepped down.

Television was set back to normal, and everyone waited for the next occurence.

Dear Kenshin,

Thank you for your letter, it has been awhile. How has your rouroni life been treating you? Remember, you're always welcome in Derscon. I know at least you, unlike PP's current shogun, is friendly towards Derscon and Greater Prussia.

God Bless,

Alexi,

The rouroni life has suited me just fine, especially with the new extra leg room in planes. Don't mistake Heero. He lived in my shadow for 20 years. Think about it, he'd have to find some way to make quite a name of himself. He's done it all right, just not in the right way. I'll be dropping him a line tellnig him to cool down a little, and set things straight. I think now that he's achieved making a "name" for himself, he should be a lot more reasonable. Maybe you should meet with him. You can get just about anyone to shut up and listen.

Blessings,
Kenshin

To: Fedor I of The Macabees
From: Czar Alexei

Thank you for your condolences for Napoleon. I ask you to keep Napoleon and his family in your prayers.

Even I am not entirely sure how he contracted this injury, although I am asking around.

And thank you for your congradulations. I also wish to establish If not Greater Prussian -- Imperial Armies diplomacy, then at least Dersconi-Macabees relations.

Also, the Dersconi government does not recognize the current shogun as the legal ruler of Pschycotic Pschycos, hence all actions he takes are illegal. PP's withdraw from Greater Prussia was the action of a rouge shogun, and should not be taken as the will of the nation as a whole.

God Bless,

Czar Alexei Alexandrovich Andropov XIV
Monarch of the Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon
Sultan of the Eternal Empire
Guardian of the Covanent of God
Emperor of Greater Prussia

OOC:

Macabees,

Just some OOC clearups.

The Greater Prussian empire consists of three entities: The region of Greater Prussia, the Region of Burgundy, and the Free Cities Alliance. The Emperor is in charge of all of these, but more directly rules the region itself. Don't think that the GPE is just one region.

Cardinal De Vito of CR and Prince John of Derscon willb e holding a prayer service for Napoleon.

==================================

Sitting on the immense throne atop the White Tower if Ithilanor, the High King gazed out across the sea, as the sun set and cast golden shadows over the White City.
He wondered why the throne had not passed to one of the Emperor Napoleon's family to act as Regent. Obviously, they do things differently in Greater Prussia, he thought.

CSPAN, Allanea

Today, the Confederate States Senate has affirmed, and the President signed, a National Declaration of Condolences to the Emperor of Greater Prussia and his immediate family. The Supreme Court of the Confederate States will open its day with a minute of prayer for the Emperor. So will high and primary schools in New-Missipy, Nova-Texas, Egeruo, Hash and Mgweni.

Prince Nathaniel shook his head, Napoleon was a good friend of his late fathers, and an invaluable advisor to himself. He immediately had flowers sent to the family with his condolences and was already planning a trip to visit Napoleon, comatose or not. "I hate the spin the press puts on this...'Unfit for command', why not incapacitated, he's never unfit..." he growled as he sipped on his coffee.

As he continued letting the thoughts brew in his head, his mind came to the thought of what the empire would become without Reichskamphen being a crown seat. "Derscon has the power now...a definitely troublesome burden for one country to take on it's own." he immediately began thinking of what role his recently quiet country could play in making sure that Greater Prussia stayed successful and thriving.

The news was rough, but it fell softly on Imitora. The Empire had never really been a major part of Imitoran life, and rarely did anyone of any importance in the Empire visit Imitora. However, the prayers of the Imitoran people went out to the Emperor, and Queen Fratelli had made plans to visit the prayer sesion. However, life continued as usual for Imitora, and it would continue.

Mike Kowalski was walking around the Hospital that his wife and newborn children were in. His aide came in and handed him the transcript of Alexi's speech, Mike just put the paper down. He was on the end of his rope, and was glad his term had come to an end. He would not seek reelection after this, and with only a month until he was out, not much could be done by him. He still needed to respond. So he took a notepad out and started writing.

Czar Alexei Alexandrovich Andropov XIV

I hope this note reaches you well. I wish for you to know that we are saddened by the accident that has befallen Emperor Napoleon and hope that it was truly that. With one conventional war, a Civil War, terrorist attacks, economic recessions, and attacks on our basic rights like self-defense, I wish and hope that this will not happen during your rule. I also hope and wish that our alliance with Derscon and the rest of Greater Prussia will stay steady and fast.

Your Humble Servant,
Mike Kowalski,
President of Crazed Marines


Now that the political BS was over, Mike went to check on his family while his oldest son, Kaylan, came in as well to see his new siblings.
