the Citadel on Settodai, the Imperial Palace

"Are you certain this is wise, oh son of the heavens?" the Mancho Danasone, Minister of domestic affairs, asked. The young emperor smiled, a rare expression on his delicate face. "So much has happened, dear Mancho, and we have fallen so far behind. The Celestial Empire must finally breach the fogs, and see the foreigners. Not since the second great war that saw the end of Nippon and Europe have we looked out from our isles.". "And a wise isolation that was, oh blessed excellency. The foreigners are naught but blood-sucking ghosts, bull-headed warriors that know not the way of warriors, nor of peacemakers. I would protest, but.." He fell silent. The emperor looked at him quizzically, as protesting the son of the heavens was not something that had been done in over 140 years, since the age of civil strife. Then the emperor smiled again. "Your dishonourable urge is understandable, beloved retainer." He paused. "In fact, I wish to make you the first Mancho of foreign affairs - Your caution and foresight is, unless I'm mistaken," And here the emperor was almost laughing, in consideration of the serious(and likely fatal) accusation it would be anyone but him to suggest that he could be wrong - "..very much needed here. I do not remember the second "world war", but I do know it was the greatest loss of life in the history of Asia and Europe; and so we must be cautious and prudent indeed. Now let the world know of our glory, and we shall hopefully enter a new and fantastic era!".

Off the coasts of America, Dra-Pol, Sino and Roycelandia

Primitive two-engine transport planes entered the airspace of many nations around the world, bearing the Jeitanese flag with the Celestial seal on it; informing the people below that Jeitan was no longer in isolation by was of crude two-way radio transmitters, and wished to visit their leaders. Among those visited was the Choson people of Dra-Pol, where the messengers thought Wiman's line was still in charge - The Sinoese people, whom the messengers correctly guessed had grown very great and strong - the nigh-unknown land of the Americas, and finally the British Empire of Roycelandia, that had played a part in bringing down the proud Japanese people, and so they were correctly approached with humility and caution.

All nations within broad-wave rader distance of the Sea of Japan

The newly-formed "Forn Offise of Jaitahn" had its rapidly tutored clerks and translators beaming radio messages on every frequency they could find, to all nations within broadcasting range. The message was very simply that Jeitan was no longer lost, and welcomed its global neighbours with prospects of cultural relations and beneficial trade.






OOC>>

Hey peeps! New nation here - I normally play African Commonwealth and Red Scandinavia, but I thought I could do with a little variation, so here's the Celestial Empire of Jeitan! An island empire thought lost somewhere in the sea of Japan that is an amalgam of pre-WW2 to WW2-era China and Japan under one imperial aristocracy. As such, they'd like to open relations, and perhaps get in a few scuffles, once their growth is well underway again :)

Factbook and map is to come when I think it out.

Any and all feedback, suggestions on how the empire should look geographically and culturally, perhaps militarily, or if you just want to shoot the breeze, is heartily welcome through telegrams.

Toodles,
Tias

OOC: In the middle of the Sea of Japan? This could be interesting, but it kind of disrupts the whole Dra-pol RP, because the Sea of Japan is presently filled with opposing fleets ...

The island of Planith was enjoying another beautiful day, and the many garrisons that dotted the island were scanning the radio waves and the real waves for anything. It had only been a few months since Telliria had made the decision to drag itself and her states out of isolation.

"Sir I'm picking up an ancient radio signal...its hard to read."

The techy pushed the ear piece closer to his ear and began to press some buttons, trying to clear the sound up.

"Got it sir! Going on the main speaker..."

The message played over and over on the main speaker and the men listened in silence. The commander of this garrison stared at the speaker for a while until all faces turned to him.

"Get this message to Emperor James." he said quitely.

"Sir shouldn't we give it to Governor Rodrigo first?" spoke a smal man lost somewhere in the gathering crowd.

"No, bring it to Emperor James."

Only 15 minutes later and aide ran to Emperor James who was sitting in the same room his great great grandparents had used to rule their nation. Telliria had been around for very long time, and Emperor James was the 12th Emperor, excluding the Fake Emperor who threw a coup so long ago. The young Emperor looked up at the men who came to him and took the paper silently, reading it.

"Can we send them an envoy?" he said in a calm calculating voice that never really changed. It was one of the reasons he was so popular.

"Sir, he will be sent shortly. We have no knowledge of their culture so it might be a problem. But if you wish it then it will be done. God bless you my lord."

He bowed and left.

A few hours later a pre-WW2 plane flew into Jaitahn airspace.

"Why are we using this anceint piece of junk again?" asked the envoy with more than a little nervousness creeping into his voice.

"Because it will be taken better this way, and we can land on their airstrip with this plane and not with ours. Understand please Sir Kenji."

Envoy Kenji nodded and short time later the pilot talked into a similiar radio that the Jaitahn were using.

"This aircraft 7-22-119po6 carrying a diplomat from Telliria. Request permission to land."

He waited for an answer.

The Jeitanese aircraft was lucky not to be shot down on approaching Drapoel airspace, currently at an all time security high. In fact it was lucky enough to find its course joined by a Drapoel L2D4- a twin-piston-engined aircraft of Japanese origin, born before the second world war and based upon the American DC3. As a result, ground controllers at first believed the foreign aircraft to be another of their own, being generally on the look-out for 3rd and 4th generation fighter jets and large bombers flown by the enemies.

The Jeitanese would be most surprised by the changes since Wiman's day. In truth, though, nobody knew what had happened to the emperor, and it wouldn't be a great stretch to theorise that he may have fled to Jeitan itself in the 1930s or 40s and lived out his life in obscurity. Previously some had suggested he may have escaped to Japan or Taiwan, but little weight was given to either of these explanations for the fact that his body was never found after the 1931-38 revolution.

Normally an imperial nation such as this would have been considered a likely enemy, but Kurosite Dra-pol was in no need of new foes... the Jeitanese would be welcomed quite walmly in Dra-pol, and invited to Paegam, the former imperial capital, and a tiny city never visited by anyone but those chosen by the...Choson. Diplomats would try to break gently news of the Suloist and later Kurosite revolutions.

NATCOMM HQ (1547 Hours):

Amongst the clamour of communications and alarm:

Junior Officer from some coastal radar facility: "Sir, there word from one of our ground radars that a small unidetified aircraft is heading towards Sinoese airspace."

Sr. Col. Chan: "Acknowledged, soldier. Good spotting. You and your compatriots deserve a pat in the back."

ARSAF Brig. Gen. Fan: "Dispatch, dispatch! I want five FC-1s fighters to trail this thing and initiate radio contact. Be warned, it could carry a garage-made NBC weapon!"

Secretary: "General, Sir, one of our radars has picked up a radio message broadcasted by the small craft."

For the pilots called to do their duty, border intrusions were far too common.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/china/images/fc-1_1.jpg


OOC 1: You just wait here, I'll get some of my buddies to respond.

OOC 2: Is that one or a whole fleet of small aircraft, because there's the refuelling factor to consider?

4 Xiannese J-10's in coperation with SIno has now a 2mile range of the aircraft signals have been sent out. A messgae has been repeated to the 2 approaching aircraft.

Sea of Japan, near the Xiannese Coast.
"Land immediatly or we will down your craft!" yelled the pilot, another than gave the nearest landing strip, Dalian.

2 more J-10's have now intercepted the planes.
"Turn around now!" yelled the pilot. The planes seems to not understand.

Reports came over the wire from Sino and Xiaguo that strange aircraft had appeared approaching both their nations. Xiaguo's Ambassador gave the Chuang-Han government a note clarifying the situation when it became clear that one was headed towards Chuang Air Space as well. The faint radio single picked up, but mostly dismissed.

"Interesting..." Said the General of the Air Forces. "I suppose we'll see what Sino and Xiaguo do first, then respond. Besides, with all this talk of the Quad-Treaty, I suppose we should show some cooperation with those two nations... If it is really an enemy, we'll intercept and shoot it down over the straits of Hainan."

"This is Lt. Col. Hong from the ARSCF 23rd Fighter Wing. You are approaching Chinese airspace. Please state the nature of your potential intrusion or be forced to land and face justice in the courts of the Sinoese Military Junta. Do you copy?"

Lt. Col. tried to radio the potential threat, assuming that it carries no active EW/ECM systems.


"Dammit, sir. Some Xiannese in our radar." Lt. Sai called to the Colonel.

"Be nice, son. HQ told me that they've been sent over for the same reason."

"Did you hear that, that Xiannese pilot warned them to be shot down if no compliance!"

"Goddammit! Those northern rednecks always want it to be like this. They should just go back to rice farming!"

"Attention Xiannese pilots, do not threaten the target. Approach with extreme caution, we have the latest intel stating that they are from some isolationist 'nation', the message ain't so clear. They seem to want recognition and diplomacy." Capt. Pan, their 2IC explained to the Xiannese.

OOC: Now we'll just have to wait for Jeitan's reply.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of SAM sites spread across the Chinese coast sprang to life at the news of this approaching threat.

Port Royal, Roycelandia

"I don't beleive it... Is that a Vickers Vimy???"

The Coastal Watch observers adjusted their binoculars, trying to see better.

"I thought they went out of service in 1923?"

"Obviously someone's still flying them."

"Give them landing permission and see what they want..."

His Imperial Majesty Emperor Royce I didn't like being disturbed from his morning Paper, but the aide assured him that this time it was actually important, and not merely the Lusakan Ambassador claiming the plumbing in the Lusakan Embassy had mysteriously stopped working again.

His Majesty strode to the Royal Wardrobe and faced a difficult decision... which one of his Royal Loud Shirts should he wear?

After summoning his Secretary, his Butler, the Minister for Foreign Affairs ("Tell me, Jeff, how Do I go about having an Affair with a Foreigner?" His Majesty always joked whenever he saw Jeff Lebowski, the Foreign Affairs Minister), and some random passersby from the street outside, he finally decided on a tasteful Loud Shirt in Electric Blue, with "Koala Beer" motifs, all involving Koalas in various stages of intoxication, holding cans of Beer with the amusing pun on the label.

Finally seated on the Imperial Throne, with his Pith Helmet/Crown on, His Majesty bade the Jeitan delegation enter.

"So, what can I do for you?" he asked, accepting a Black Russian from his Aide. "Something to drink?" he asked of the Delegates, indicating His Majesty's very large and very well stocked Liquor Cabinet.

All undisclosed aircraft entering Xiannese water are to be interogated or shot down. They are nearing Bohai.

"Damn niggers, why don't they go back and farm their rice." muttered the pilot.
"Well, they got their point"said the captain, now just twitching buttons around.
"Why the heck would aomeone fly such an old thing out into forbidden waters?"
"Well, beats me, but have you heard about a story of a secret island somewehre in the Pacific of the Japanese Sea, forgot where,"
"People believe there may be a hidden island dating from the World wars."
"Ha, what a weird story.."

Hataropoils, Hataria.

Barbarossa, The New Emperor of The Empire of Hataria so heard the news of what The Jeitanese Empire was doing. Soon Barbarossa had a new Plan, one that would show the world That Hataria was going to be The most Powerful Empire on Earth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, The Empire of Hataria (May it last forever!) has Declared War on The Jeitanese Empire.

The Hatarian Empire feals that The Jeitanese are a threat to The Empire and could attack our Territories in The Far East.

-Emperor Barbarossa I, Emperor of Hataria, Grand Chief of The Asakura Nation, Lord of The Black Islands.

Telliria>>

Off the coast of Settodai, largest and capital isle of Jeitan

There was some trouble interpreting the familiar, but still advanced(in comparison to the radio stations gear) signal; but as it was done a voice said in guttural english: "Welcome to Jeitan, honorred foreijner. Please to land at air-shtrip schfifty-five twoo metric kilometers from here."

Dra-pol>>

Paegam

The envoys were overjoyed to enter the mythical capital of the Dra-pol empire, and did state this in an archaic dra-pol dialect to their hosts. The Jeitanese know a little of communism in the form of soviet marxism, and did indeed need some time to brood on the current state of Dra-pols political situation. Regardless of what apparently looked like collective madness ruled this land, the Jeitanese are pleased to see that it still stands, and wishes to extend trade and aid to the Choson people.

The Chinese nations(Han, Xiagua and Sino)>>

Mainland China

The -three- planes(one for each of the Chinese nations located) took some time in responded, but let the ground forces know in passable Chinese(repeating in both cantonese and mandarin) that they meant no harm and came to extend the Jeitanese emperors wishes of friendship and mutual benefit.

The planes are unarmed save for 14.7mm MGs that are too rusty to shoot ducks, let alone actual military targets.

Roycelandia>>

Port Royal

Once the plane, described as a "Mara", seemingly a more sturdy clone of the Japanese Mitsubishi Ki-57 transport plane; had been parked, the envoys got out of their dirty flight suits and into something more comfortable.

Out of courtesy, the Jeitanese envoys accepted to take Sake and drink with his majesty. Decked out in light armour, both were members of the Hakken, the aristocracy in charge of the day-to-day government of Jeitan. Rather confused with his Majesty's pick in clothing, they dispensed with the most basic of formalities, and stated their business in passable english. "Greetings, your imperial majesty. We come in peace from the Celestial Empire of Jeitan, and bring regards from his most blessed excellency, Emperor Huantaro Biau Chosokabe the first. We wish to attain an embassy here, and perhaps to learn from and trade with you."

Hataria>>

The Jeitanese are not currently aware of those who scheme against them, but have a standing military at the ready, at the behest of their emperor, well aware of the many who do scheme to attack anyone that, at first, seems weaker.




ooc

So... A few pick-me-ups are in order. First off, I'm in Denmark(CET+1 hours) and no longer have my own internet connection, so I will only post when I have spare change for an internet café - be patient, it doesn't mean that my pilots don't answer, or that I am somehow getting ready to dissipate into thin air.

Roycelandia>> I am casting you as either Australia or Great Britain, I hope that works for you. It is simply because Jeitan would only know most nations they do because of WW2 and regard them in a WW2 context. Thus, they are pretty damn nervous of Roycelandia, not that they'd ever admit it!

Hataria>> Bring it on if you like, I'm only slightly-post-WW2 tech at the moment, but a nation full of pre-WW2 sino-japanese bushido wack jobs led by a warrior aristocracy aren't the best of enemies.. ;)

OOC: Hey dude, remember me? I'll make a more interesting post later. Fairly strapped for time atm.

The Xiannese Pilots replied to the pilot of the Jietanese plane.

"Ok, you're cleared. Please land in Dairen. Our Emperor extends his welcome to you. Airstrips 12, 15, and 23 are opened at Dailian, please lower down the speed, pull tanks..uhh, just do what you do with your plane. "

OOC:

HS>> Sure do ;) What up?

IC:

Xiaguo>>

The envoys landed expertly(that is to say, not without some difficulty on the part of the pilots with their cloned Japanese transport on the modern runway.), and sought audience with the emperor, eventually presenting him with the same greeting as their colleagues had with Emperor Royce I.

The pilot would be interviewed as to where he ahd came from.

OOC: ok, then I just use my war Mammoths, Tanks (WWII Style), Horsemen and Bi-Planes, With my Navy and Footsoldiers.

Port Royal, Roycelandia

His Majesty regarded the two envoys with interest. Even the Imperial Guard had given up wearing armour years ago, after some bright spark invented Kevlar and they could make their famous Red Combat Jackets out of the bullet-resistant material.

"Of course. Let me be the first to welcome you to the Empire of Roycelandia, and extend the hand of Friendship to you."

His Majesty listened to the envoys, and nodded.

"Of course, we would be delighted to allow you to establish an Embassy with us." His Majesty waved his right hand to indicate that one of Minions should start making some phone calls and get this sorted out, preferably before the Jeitan envoys left.

"We are always open to trade. What would you be interested in trading in?"

His Majesty had an idea. "As a gift of friendship between our peoples, the people of Roycelandia would like to give you a brand new Sunderland Flying Boat."

Jeff Lebowski (The Foreign Affairs Minister) nodded approvingly.

"What sort of goods and resources have the Jetian people to trade?" he enquired politely.

The Pilot nodded his head as he turned off the com unit. The plan jolted a bit more than usual, although nothing dangerous. Still the envoy clung to the saftey straps. Of course he hadn't experience the landing yet.

The craft saw the airstrip that it was supposed to land on and headed down after circling once. When the wheels first hit the ground there was an enormous jolt that sent the diplomat into fits of fear. Even though it was bouncing like nobodies buissness inside, the craft landed and the co-pilot even remarked about such a "good" landing.

Still the envoy composed himself and walked to the door, breifcase in hand. Two other men dressed completely in red with automatic weapons in hand stood up and followed him, only their silent eyes showed.

The Envoy stepped out of the plane, waiting to see what awaited him.

The Fleat is to attack all Jeitanese Ships, Civilian and Naval.

OOC: Hataria, I think you're wrecking the spirit of this RP. So a small Nation no-one's heard of before suddenly surfaces, and it's a major threat to you? I for one wouldn't have thought that sending over half a million troops to invade them was such a wise idea.

Depending on how this pans out, you could find yourself dealing with the Roycelandian Armed Forces, along with anyone else who decides they want to help out Jetian...

OOC: Indeed. If you nation has any serious political or military brains in it at all, advisors will be telling your government that everyone it sends to attack Jeitan is going to die and that it's going to lead to them losing power come the next election/a coup. They will presumably be aware that Dra-pol has nowhere to turn its over-sized military once Korea is unified, and that some rogue state running around attacking potential Drapoel trade interests just on its doorstep and without provocation is just asking to be obliterated there.

Mainland China

The -three- planes(one for each of the Chinese nations located) took some time in responded, but let the ground forces know in passable Chinese(repeating in both cantonese and mandarin) that they meant no harm and came to extend the Jeitanese emperors wishes of friendship and mutual benefit.

"You have been cleared to land at the following co-ordinates. Do not set outside of your craft until being told."

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

In an isolated airbase in Suzhou:

An typical uneventful runway soon came to life, a full battalion of MP had been called up, armed visibly with ARs and SMGs. This is no welcoming party as 'proceed with caution' was the sentence of the day. A company of firefighters and chemical warfare troops are wondering at present if their training was going to be used today.

As the five Ships of the Line came out of the fog, the flag of Slavers Point flying high. The creak of the wooden hulls and the shouts of the crew ecaoed through the air.

"Land Ho!!!'yelled the man in the crows nest"


"Its about time" muttered the diplomat."Get on the short wave and contact that island"

"Aye Aye sir." said the crewman"


(sound of radio crackling)" This is the Madam Swift calling anyone Madam Swift to shore"
(occ)large, square-rigged warship, carrying from 70 to 140 guns on two or more completely armed gun decks. In the great naval wars of the 17th, 18th, and early 19th cent., ships of the line were the largest naval units employed. They passed from use with the advent of the ironclad and the battleship

The FC-1s soared overhead at subsonic but noisy speeds. A small speak of a tiny WWII-era plane was appearing sluggishly in the horizon. Soldier aren't suppose to question but many wondered, what the hell is that? A command was given for all to point their weapons at the incoming plane. Even the IFVs had to tilt their cannons up. Two APCs with propaganda loudspeakers had been deployed.

Hataria hasn't Begun The war yet, but I might stop this war, PEACEFULY.

The Hatarian Fleat is in Hatarian Indonesia to stay, till ordered out.

Xiagua

The pilot did not understand the Xiaguo questioning, but the two diplomats he carried did, and enthusiastically gave the location of the Jeitanese empire((somewhere in Sea of Japan, south of Hokkaido-Nippon itself, I've yet to work out actual coordinates)), and explained that they came in peace and friendship, wishing for an audience with the Xiaguan chairman or similar head of government - Not having been in China since the fifties they assumed that Xiagua had embraced Maoism of some sort.

Suzhou, Sino

The JAI-44 Mara transport landed roughly on the airstrip, and inside the two diplomats looked quizzically out on the heavily-armed reception.

Coast of Settodai

The Slavers Point ship was received rather quickly. "Please to receive you, Swift-chan.", the radio message said, the voice a little puzzled to hear a man say that his captain was a women(according to Jeitanese custom, women were rarely in positions of leadership). The ship was welcomed to enter the nearby trade port of Rotan, one of the two ports open to the outside world.

Airstrip 55, western Settodai

The envoys were welcomed by a Hakken(a nobleman, of sorts) in full ceremonial armour, a light colourful wooden splint mail. He welcomed them to the Celestial Empire of Jeitan with great enthusiasm, and bade them follow him to the imperial capital where the newly-formed foreign office would welcome them properly.

Port Royal, Roycelandia

While the Hakken were still learning english, they did manage to explain that Jeitan had limited oil export, but produced various chemicals and engine parts in great numbers, and also had a thriving agricultural export from the lowlands in form of rice, sugar beets, vegetables, fruit, pork, poultry and fish among other things.


OOC>>

Hataria> I don't think that would work out well for you. My military level is, at worst, around Japans at WW2, and as other participants have stated, there could be interference from world powers against you. Perhaps we should just let it lie? If not, let's make an independent thread for it and give me some time to work out a welcome for you.

We are sending a Envoy to your Nation, We have declare The war a Cold War.

Considering that the Jeitanese did not even know of the existence of Hataria, their envoy was met with some curiousity, and respectful distance. "On what business does he come?" would the Hakken know.

The Envoy, Yama Tuksnio was on a Hatarian C-12, escorted by 6 MiG-28's headed for Jeitan. With him was a treay of Alliance and Trade Between The Empires.

OOC: I hope this Cold war ends soon.

Hudecian radar operators noticed the Jitanese flight off the coast of America and invited it to land in Vancouver instead.

However, precautions in the form of 2 Hudecian Arrow IIs were taken to ensure that this wasn't some form of suicidal attack by a Drapol supporter.

Suzhou, Sino

The JAI-44 Mara transport landed roughly on the airstrip, and inside the two diplomats looked quizzically out on the heavily-armed reception.

"Switch off the engine of your aircraft and step outside of it, standing with your feet apart and hands high in the air." A gigantic loudspeaker boomed out the words in Mandarin, followed by another one but in English. This seems like the Olympic compettition announcements only that the airfield was the stadium and the sport was called 'stand off'.

Watching as the two men stepped out, dressed in WWII-era pilot uniforms, the soldiers could only imagine such in a war movie. Three teams of five soldiers were ordered to search the men and their plane for weapons, explosives and NBC agents.

"Place your weapons on the floor! We know about your sidearm." The voice boomed as the teams moved in cautiously, the safeties off and the hindsights always at eye level. An ARSAF 2nd Lt. in summer service uniform watched, not too far from the teams approaching cautiously. He had wore a peak cap purposefully to indicate his authority as the nearest officer to the strangers.

His ARSAF cap badge gleamed in the afternoon sun.

Settodai

Only too happy to gain a commercial and defensive partner in the new world, Jeitanese air forces welcome the plane and escorts into Settodai airport, and Jeitanese diplomats state their eagerness to sign the treaty.

Vancouver

Frankly, the pilots weren't very tight on extra-asian geographics, and thus didn't know that Vancouver wasn't in America. The plane landed in Hudecia, and the Jeitanese diplomats aboard(once informed about their location) stated their wish to visit the Hudecian leader.

Suzhou

The diplomats and pilots had no more armaments than a primitive 9mm semiautomatic pistol in a locked cabinet by the seats, and the two katana-like swords in the cargo cabinet, that are the heraldric badge of the Jeitanese Hakken aristocracy. The pilots accept this treatment on account of their leaders' reassurances, but the diplomats look a little sour by now to be treated like this. One steps forward and informs the 2nd liutenant that he and his peer come in peace to visit with the Sino head of state.

The full post WWII History,
1949-2004, China:Xiaguo History, the full history of Xiaguo, this encyclopedia book was included with, China:Sino, China:Taiwan, China:Chuang-Han, China:XInjiang, Tibet, China:Foreign Policy, China:World History Post 1950's 1 - 3.

The books were in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and a few other Pacific Asian Languages. As the pilot arrived inside the magnificient Forbidden City, it wasn't the 1800's palace anymore, with full security systems automatic gates, electricity, sewage systems, even voice activated and much high etch advances added to the palace. Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, High ranking officials, Regents, and Maids, Butlers and general, ministers of foreign nations all stand inside greeting the pilot. The emperor, perched like a hawk upon the throne along with the Empress and The prime Minister and Lady, Yeh, the emperor spoke in the delicate CHinese language, a very polite CHinese speaker he was.

"Young pilot, your magnificent journey and news of Jietan cures our want of curiosity. You will now represent Jietan in the CHinese royal palace. We, the Ming Empire of China, the COnstitutional Republic, the Restorers of CHina's glory welcome you.."
*Applause and cheers*

Xiaguo has never really confirmed such a secret island which has been spoken of since WWII when Chinese sailors and pilots had accidently found the island by mistake. Curiosity now has fueled Xiannese to learn of this island.

*Vancouver*

Foreign Minister O'Hara, who had been caught in Vancouver when the Drapol crisis had arose, made his way to the airport to greet the Jeitanese envoys. The President was currently hiding out in his bunker outside Ottawa because of a security threat, but until he was available, O'Hara had full authority to speak on behalf of the government.

Once the crisis has abated, Hudecia would be more than willing to fund the Jeitanese envoy's trip to Hudecia's capital city of Ottawa.

OOC: To Sino: are you the same as The People's Republic of Sino Asians?

OOC: To Sino: are you the same as The People's Republic of Sino Asians?

OOC: What?! Somebody copied my nation's name? OMFG!

Suzhou

The diplomats and pilots had no more armaments than a primitive 9mm semiautomatic pistol in a locked cabinet by the seats, and the two katana-like swords in the cargo cabinet, that are the heraldric badge of the Jeitanese Hakken aristocracy. The pilots accept this treatment on account of their leaders' reassurances, but the diplomats look a little sour by now to be treated like this. One steps forward and informs the 2nd liutenant that he and his peer come in peace to visit with the Sino head of state.

"All clear, sir. Two Samurai shaving blades and a 9mm confiscated. Nothing else." A Sinoese corporal reported to 2nd Lt. Liang.

"This is Plastic Fork, all clear. Limited cache confiscated. Over." After returning the salute, Liang reached for the radio holster and muttered a few short words. It took only two seconds to pass before all guns were pointed elsewhere, other than at the plane or the strangers.

He spoke slowly in Mandarin, for the sake of understanding to the visitors.

"I'm 2nd Lieutenant Liang Hai Tao of the Armed Republic of Sino Air Force Military Police, Hongyu Air Force Base Garrison. Strangers from a distant land, welcome to the Armed Republic of Sino, which is also known as South China."

Xiagua

Overwhelmed by the grand reception, the pilot prompty accepted this charge until a properly educated member of the Hakken could take his place. After the welcome, he requests audience with the Imperial foreign ministry to talk of an embassy.

Vancouver

The Hakken envoys were overjoyed to find a friendly western nation in the east(or west, depending on ones point of view), and they set upon their assignment - Being formal and polite to the point of exaggeration(or so it would seem, this is actually Jeitanese custom) they requested of O'Hara an exchange of embassies, along with what mutually beneficial commercial, cultural or research arrangements could be made with Hudecia.

Suzhou

"Armed republic indeed" one of the aristocrats answered crisply, and was promptly given a stare that could kill him dead by his colleague, followed by a stern remark barked in Jeitanese. The Hakken then stood back, and the reprimanding Jeitanese man spoke to the 2nd Lieutenant. "Please to.. Excuse my partner. He is not used to such high security arrangements. We are from the Celestial Empire of Jeitan, and come in peace to visit with your head of state or a member of your foreign ministry."

Port Royal, Roycelandia

One of the Emperor's Aides returned to say that they had located a suitable premises for the Jeitanese Embassy, on the banks of the Avon River and overlooking Royal Park.

"We have found a suitable place for your Embassy, if you are interested." His Majesty figured it was probably the former embassy for some country that didn't exist any more or something, and in this he was right.

"How long were you planning on staying in our Glorious Empire? If we'd known you were coming, we could have printed up some new Treaties and the like. We'll have to get some printed, so if you were planning on staying for a few days, we can sort something out for you..."

"We are staying for as long as it takes for our own and his imperial majestys government to write and ratify the treaties".

The premises were examined and found to be both serene in nature and sturdy of construction, which was about as high expectations as the Jeitanese envoys had.

OOC: I hope is thing doesn't turn into a war.

It will take about two days to get the Treaties Drafted up and signed, pending something a bit more formal later.

The Imperial Government would like to know when and where the Jeitanese would like their Sunderland Flying Boat delivered...

What are the treaties to contain, exactly? We have stated our export, but treaties concerning mutual research might also be of interest to the Jeitanese empire.

Provided we can lend a skilled pilot or somesuch, the emissaries could fly it home the next time they the Emperor needs them?

OOC: I will be writeing one soon.

The Treaties will be the usual Treaty of Friendship, Non-Agression Treaty, Trade Treaty, and the all-important Research and Development Treaty.

Since Roycelandia is actually more advanced that Jetian, but in a compatible way (I can see the Spitfires and SLLEs appealing to Jeitan, for some reason), the Roycelandian Government is only too happy to help Jeitan research and develop their own stuff, lest someone sell them a Nuke or persuade them to buy MiG-21s and AK-47s...

Paegam, The Choson People's Republic of Dra-pol

Mist seemed to hang deliberately around the lower reaches of the hills upon which the Forbidden City rested in ignorance of the passing of time. Much as the vapours below shifted and heaved without direction in the trees so hung clouds on the hilltops, the stone city, over-grown in greenery, standing betwix as some neverworld.

Such descriptions may seem a little dramatic, but justified in that one could count on his hands the foreign eyes allowed ever to gaze upon such giant faces and imposing monsters as were hewn into the rock.

Here and there went a few Drapoel men and women all clad in similar fashion to Hotan's traditional favour, and more martially-dressed soldiers could be seen in silhouette at least, perched here and there around ancient battlements. These warriors directed through the milky firmament their 7.7mm Type D-92 machineguns, weapons machined after the Japanese Tashio 92nd Year machineguns of the Second World War and the time of Korea's division. As the Jeitanese were received within the grounds of the old fortress-palace itself there rattled over-head what appeared to be -though it was obscured by cloud- a Mitsubishi Zero, and was in fact a two-seat S-1 elemental flight trainer operating out of the Republic's northeastern proving grounds.

"...I am Director Choi." Said a woman who had appeared before the foreigners, saluted, and welcomed them to Paegam, addressing them as comrades.

"Please." She said, gesturing for the Jeitanese to follow her into the weather-beaten stone palace. Choi, Regional Director for Paegam District, would soon be seated with her guests at a table made also of old stone in a room with elaborate freezes upon its walls and without glass to its tall, narrow window. There would be Drapoel tea flavoured -one might say rather polluted- by god only knows what roots and other goods, along with soju and Drapoel sake. Guards lurking, too. These were armed with shortswords akin to wakizashi with which they were supposed to defend the little corridors and twisted ruins about.

Choi was keen to discuss trade and to talk history, politics, and culture if it pleased the Jeitanese.

-Vancouver-

O'Hara responded with typical Hudecian politeness and in line with custom, invited them to a dinner in their honour.

Although they were not sure of the eating habits or foods of Jeitan they set before them a mix of western and asian foods. After the dinner, as was customary, O'Hara discussed what exchanges could be arranged. Everything from exchange student programs to military exchanges was on the table.

Port Imperial

The first-mentioned treaties were found quite satisfactory, and after a short telegram to and from Jeitan, the son of the heavens signed the treaties in absentia via the envoys.

Technology exchange, particularly in the field of military aviation, was met with eagerness by the envoys, he confided that the british had given them enfield designs on which they had designed the Mabu(essentially, a .303 bolt action enfield) and the newer self-loading carbine(disturbingly much like the SLLE..), but that the spitfires had a certain advantage on the aging fighters used by the Silver Host, or imperial air force.

Paegam

The envoys would happily supply the communist regime with machine parts, vital chemicals as well as the many agricultural products that came out of the lowlands. In the long run, some sort of whole machine tool and defense hardware exchange could likely be arranged as well.

Keen as they also were to talk history, the envoys were most interested in the current asian political climate, what regimes and forms of government were prevalent and which regimes could be counted as friendly, both to the CPRD and to the Empire of Jeitan.

Vancouver

The envoys enjoyed the food with gusto, sampling most of the platter(but passing on the rye bread and liquorice.. That was indeed a bit too much). While exchange students could be interesting(think of the culture shock!), first and foremost the Jeitanese would like to see concrete and vital diplomatical applications, preferably in the form of commerce and research agreements rather than cultural exchanges(though the emperors government was very keen to do this as well, in the future).

OOC:People post too fast.

IC:

The envoy carefully walks out, shaking the hand of the man who came to meet him and followed him to the capital. He continued to study what he could from the culture, gaining bits and pieces of what not and what to do although he was still a little low.

"So how far is it to the capital good sir?"

-Vancouver-

O'Hara agreed to open up trade with the isolated island nation and to give of the wealth that Hudecia has to offer, from vast mineral deposits, lumber, wheat, to even oil.

Technologically, the Hudecian government is willing to sponsor the exchange of industrial technicians and engineers between the two nations.

"Our government is anxious to make new ties with your nation so you'll perhaps have to apologize our excessive enthusiasm," O'Hara said apologetically.

Suzhou

"Armed republic indeed" one of the aristocrats answered crisply, and was promptly given a stare that could kill him dead by his colleague, followed by a stern remark barked in Jeitanese. The Hakken then stood back, and the reprimanding Jeitanese man spoke to the 2nd Lieutenant. "Please to.. Excuse my partner. He is not used to such high security arrangements. We are from the Celestial Empire of Jeitan, and come in peace to visit with your head of state or a member of your foreign ministry."

An IFV drove by and Liang's superior came by. The major stepped off the vehicle and arranged a few word with Liang, before taking over the situation.

"I'm Major Bai Jun Guo. I will direct you gentlemen shortly to your requests. What language do you prefer to communicate with?"

A hastily-organised demonstration of Roycelandia's Military Forces was thrown together... the Imperial Guard, Emperor Heavy Tanks, and, of course, the Spitfire Fighter. An additional bonus was that other advent of Modern Technology, the Helicopter.

Roycelandian Iroquois and some ADV-33 Attack Choppers staged a mock attack on the Dreadnought IRNS Roycelandia, moored in Torpedo Bay, whilst the Dreadnought demonstrated it's powerful armament by firing a salvo from all of it's guns out to sea.

The choppers were playing "Ride of the Valkyries" and "The 1812 Overture" as they roared over everyone's heads, firing smoke rockets and blanks to impress the Jeitanese delegation.

The message was clear: Roycelandia was a great and poweful Nation who wished a peaceful relationship with the Jeitanese, but were quite capable of crushing anyone who tried to cross them. More importantly, the nice man from Imperial Armaments explained that Roycelandia exported a lot of these wonderful machines and weapons, and they had a variety of easy payment options...

"Young pilot, an Embassy has already been opened in Tianjin, we need your representatives but, when you are ready. Guards, let us show Jieten our Millitary might."said Prime Minister Yeh.
A big drumline was sounded and the pilot walked out, there marching was a sea of soldiers, amrching in Unison.
"Those in the red and blue are the Royal Imperial gurds, when they finish marching, um, about maybe 10mins lter, the next grouop will arive."
Giant capsule, missiles, and Mobile SAMS and tanks, cars, trucks, were driving down the parade route, today was the celebration of the 5th Anniversary of the Xiannese Revolution.

The parade is recorded down on film which can be easily displayed in Jietien using their projectors.

Dragon's Lair (NATCOMM HQ):

General Liu (Sino's leader) was interrupted from a meeting. His secretary had passed him a thin dossier. He almost bursted into laughter when his skimmed through the pages.

"You know that it is not April Fools day, today." Gen. Liu showed a hint of concern.

"Yes sir. But this is serious and they're in some little base in Suzhou."

"Very well, I'm off to see them. Organize the Sinoese Honor Guards for a reception."

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

A group of Sinoese Honor Guards were training in Shanghai when their march through heavy rain was disrupted by a few calls of the loudspeaker. They were given one hour to get into fresh uniforms, looking their utter best, ready to depart for an 'emergency reception'.

"I hope Chiang Kai-shek didn't just walk out off his grave." A guardsman muttered in the locker rooms, lightening up the psychological stress.

Settodai, en route to Ido, the Imperial capital

To the Tellirian visitor, it would seem that most of the culture is an archaic form of the asian Imperial age, showing great personal politeness to strangers, a sound work ethic, respect for ancestors and spirits of nature and a profound deference to the Imperial powers as well as the Hakken, the remarkably Samurai-like caste of warrior aristocrats, who handled day-to-day government under the all-pervading auspices of Imperial clerks.

"Not too long, honoured stranger. We must first pass the regional governour, the honoured Genzaemon, for the traditional welcome ceremony and his leave to visit the forbidden citadel."

Vancouver

Commerical openings were of vital interest, and the envoys were happy to receive shares of Hudecia's wealth. Of particular interest was minerals, and on the technological side, non-military applications of plutonium and uranium. To some extent, the Hakken knew of civilian nuclear power, but had yet to see it function; and would like to visit with Hudecian atomic scientists.

Jeitanese engineers likely had little to offer Hudecia save perhaps a vast range of knowledge on archaic engineering, such as beautiful asian rural and urban landscaping and architecture, smithing of medieval weapons and armour, construction techniques not involving heavy machinery and the like.

"We are eager as well, honourable O'Hara" the young Hakken known just as Ra answered O'Hara. "We have been lost to the mists for very long, and we need all the ties we can get to keep up."

Port Imperial

Visibly impressed, the envoys pressed for an exchange of military engineers; that Jeitan could develop its own main battle tanks superior to the aging Chinese and Japanese light tanks the armed forces were currently stuck with.

Also of great interest were the rotary aircraft, and the envoys enthusiastically requested a list of various utility and transport helicopters that they could purchase from Roycelandia in anticipation of some day building their own.

In the long run, the Silver Host(as is, the envoy explained, the formal name for the Imperial Armed Forces)s foreign imports office, an office that had, coincidentally, just opened this in Settodai, would probably be very interested in buying Roycelandian hardware.

Xiagua

The pilot Seng, also a member of the armed forces, could hardly believe his own eyes. Upon contacting his country, he learned that similar experiences were being made all over the world. He then politely requested a defense research pact with Xiagua, gaining familiarity with this impressive army in return for cheap Jeitanese export goods.

-Vancouver-

Hudecia was more than willing to become a trading partner with Jeitan, and was willing to teach Jeitan civilian uses for uranium. However, as the Hudecian government was still cautious about this new nation, the actual implementation of the nuclear power was still many many years away.

The nice man from Imperial Armaments indicated that an exchange of Military Engineers would be most satisfactory to the Roycelandian Empire.

The Helicopters available to the Jeitanese consist of:

Imperial Aerospace IA-1J Iroquois

Imperial Aerospace Chinook

and the Colonial Aircraft Factory "Jetranger" civillian transport chopper.

OOC: Jeitan, you know where the list of Roycelandia's Armed Forces equipment is if there's anything of particular interest... prices are negotiable. ;)

Choi continued to behave coridally towards the Jeitanese, expressing interest on the Republic's behalf in making Jeitan a significant exporter of foodstuff to Dra-pol, saying that, "...in light of the theft of so much territory" it was difficult to support the nation's millions. "The associated isolation also makes it difficult to acquire such natural resources as oil that do not occur widely on the peninsula" she added, not really expecting the Jeitanese to have much better stocks themselves.

Choi did not want the affair to seem one sided, and would speak on Dra-pol's extensive use of nuclear and hydro electric plants for power generation, its renown in tunnel-building, and the great extent of its armament-building industry as well.

As for the international community she would have relatively few kind words. "Korea" she would say, "remains divided simply because foreign powers deem that it should be so. Japan, the USA, Kilean, Quinntonia, Hudecia, many more nations have all fought the Korean people and spilled their blood in the name of profit or politics.

"There are some strong countries of good national character and morally aware leadership." She said, finally. "In South East Asia Marimaia has continued to experience growth and progress and its Neo Suunist philosophy can perhaps be trusted better than the reactionary whims of other, less stable states.

"Not so very far away, on the Lyong peninsula, nations such as Spyr and North Yaman may be worthy of diplomatic approach. The former is apparently quite stable and its leadership reasonable, and the latter strives hard for progress in the proper causes and exhibts strength of conviction in face of arrogant foreign disapproval."

Conversation had then to wait as the clatter of rotors filled the stone structure with the passing overhead of an Mi-2 helicopter.

The envoy nodded.

"Do I need to know anything before I meet this governor? I would hate to make to make a mistake that is an insult to your people, Telliria by no means wants to insult you."

He was obviously nervous, but more settled then when he was in the plane.

During this time, Xiaguo has introduced Jeitan with Computers and many of the newest electronics.

A milliatray research Pact will limit to the J-10 aircraft, radar technology, and many more new technology prior than 1960.

As a sign of commitment to our new neighbor and ally, we have sent a "Portable School, which contains teachers, staff, equiptment, and such to educate the populous of the world outside. 9 Type 98 Xiannese COnfigured Tank has also been given to Jeitan to show our friendship.

General Liu arrive some two hours later by an unmarked Boeing 767, with a battalion of the ARSCF (Armed Republic of Sino Combiend Forces) Honor Guard.

His dress was nothing fancy, just a summer service shirt with a tie, service trousers and a peak cap. He greeted the strangers. At first he did not disclose his identity.

"Gentlemen from distant shores, I'm General Liu, leader of South China." Liu's voice was patient and showed no threat.

As he conversed, the Honor Guards assembled for marching.

http://english.pladaily.com.cn/special/guards/content/image/10.jpg

Having met the Emperor, Pilot was therefore honoured at a special banquet which will mark the end of the Jeitanese-Xiannese Friendly Exchange. Pilot Seng was also awarded the Medal of Peace.

Vancouver

Happy with what they could get, a nuclear fission research and cooperation treaty would gladly be signed by Ra and his colleague.

Dra-pol

Oddly enough, the envoy seemed more impressed with the Mi-2 passing overhead than Chois view of Dra-pols impressive post-WWII achievements. Furthermore, Jeitan would be delighted to open up a treaty in which Dra-polian military hardware could be bought and perhaps researched in return for Jeitans foodstuffs currently filling up the granaries after a bountiful harvest season.

Ido, Settodai

"Ah, nothing to worry about, senior. The governor is a down to earth man. There is thing you should know about the emperor, though. Be your polite best and do not suggest that the son of the heavens is wrong about anything. In time, his advisors will record what you know to be wrong and give it to him for consideration."

Xiaguo

Seng was honoured and expressed the emperors great gratitude for this gift of knowledge and defensive hardware - Also, the son of the gods had foreseen a great future for Jeitan and Xiaguo as allies.

Sino

"It is an honour, exalted general Liu. We come from the lost isles of Jeitan, and wish to extend the emperors greetings and wishes of mutual cooperation to you. With time, perhaps we could work out an exchange?".

Sino

"It is an honour, exalted general Liu. We come from the lost isles of Jeitan, and wish to extend the emperors greetings and wishes of mutual cooperation to you. With time, perhaps we could work out an exchange?".

"Lost isles indeed." The General joked. "So you folks never heard of a republic, eh? What are your names."

As they chatted, the Honor Guards began marching up to them on the runway. The stomping feet of over 100 men soothed the spirits of the paranoid Sinoese troops that had expected a terrorist attack.

http://english.pladaily.com.cn/special/guards/content/image/23.jpg

The envoys names were Chozon and Fei, and while Fei was still a bit tense on account on their reception, they were pleased to see such a modern and powerful nation in east Asia, guarenteeing that no western superpowers, if they indeed still existed, would come and make a fuss.

"Well, there's our finest Honor Guards. Say gentlemen, shall we conduct the inspections." Gen. Liu was pleased that everyday, his men drill to perfection as if National Day is just around the corner.

The Empire of the Japanese People would like to offer an olive branch to the Jeitanese Empire by offering an alliance with them.

This alliance includes -

1.) Trade ships are freely allowed to enter each others docks
2.) Assistance in war may be asked
3.) If needed, each one of us may ask each other to help each other out economically.

Our Empire is looking forward for the answer to this Proposal.

-Japanese delegate
Mutso Meiji



OCC - Did the Jeitanese adopt Japan's flag so they can have a national flag or did you just put Japan's flag as your national flag?

OOC: Not a reply by the key player in days?

OOC> Listen, I've already stated that I'm in Denmark, and that I only reply when I can spare the cash(from a student budget and I'm living on my own.).

The Japanese flag is just there till I can make a unique one for Jeitan, it does not signify allegiance to Nippon itself.

IC>

From the Imperial Foreign Office

We heartily accept this olive branch and the son of the heavens will sign it himself once he can be so convenienced. We do not intend to wage war unless our very national stability and/or sovereignty is threatened, so this part is not one we pay much heed. We do understand the violent present, however, and respect that the Japanese peoples would lend us their very lifeblood to aid us in the event of war.

Regards,
the Celestial Empire of Jeitan.

OOC> Listen, I've already stated that I'm in Denmark, and that I only reply when I can spare the cash(from a student budget and I'm living on my own.).

OOC: My sincerest apologies!

OOC: No worries, you're right in that things are very slow. Online time is very expensive at cafés and I can't exactly reply all the time :(
