"Today, I promise you, today I promise your children, today I promise your children's children, and today I promise myself. We shall revitalize our economy; get our troops out of that decadent and immoral hole of Hong Kong, and restructure our morals. We have left the true faith, the faith that our state is our only allegiance, we have left it for convenience and superstition. Well I promise you, convenience is my last worry, strength is my first.
When you go home today, remember this day for the years to follow as the day we won back our pride, won back our pride, won back our jobs, when we won back our life!"
The crowd, cheering, bawled- screamed- cried out, "Unity Through Strength!"
Why this speech was inspirational, no one knows. Some critics said Popeye the Sailor could have gone up there, spouted something, and won the election. The people just needed to hear something different. Others, more positive, said only the regent Blackwood IV could have pulled something like that off. Others just said it was because of the Blackjack tables and Hookers that gleamed charmingly liberally around for the after-speech ceremony.
Regardless, the following election the Republic of Turkey switched its ideologue from one of serving Europe, to one of trying to be part of Europe. The decaying cultural identity revitalized, why? No one knows that either, no legislation was passed, but Blackwood and his Imperialistic Independents were elected and for the first time in a long time, Turkey could look itself in the eye.
"Unity Through Strength" became the battle cry. Its meaning and angles were countless. Mainly it was first conceived to explain why a monarchy was needed, and its bonuses. The diverse religions needed to know that the state came first, and their petty problems last. It was also supposed to reflect Turkey's idea of how it would become. A reflection of Europe, but altered to suits its needs. "Strength Through Unity", Belgium's national motto, was the first pick to alter, and it slowly became the universal battle cry.
The diverse religions spread throughout Bulgarian and Turkey happily bowed before Blackwood. He was a man that could play the sides against the middle, and through his wit, and dry humor he cajoled the Moslem and Eastern Orthodox to get along. While not everything was candy and roses, it was for the moment peaceful, and a new aura of coexisting entered the churches. A victory, that was much debated in importance, if Blackwood's personal skills were the key, and in the separate leaders of the churches.
The only people to get the short straw were the Kurds. Sadly, they were not the state in Blackwood’s point of view, and he knew a scapegoat and focal point for all the violence had to be found. Therefore, the Kurds it became, he shifted a blind eye when Moslem militias ran amok in the border villages, and ordered troop deployments and retaliation strikes when the Kurds retaliated. The overwhelming might of the churches and mainstream government were to much for even the best guerrilla fighters, and by the late year of 06 they had been regulated to only scattered remains along the border and only sparse attacks to Turkey proper.
