The most prominent of which was the fact that it was very reminiscent of the non-aggression pact signed by Soviet Britain and Nazi Germany in 1939, 2 years after which the Germans broke it and invaded. Reznov suspected deep down that it was a trick, and that Antarctica was certainly going to invade. He had heard the stories, that Dieter Eckhart was a secret descendent of Adolf Hitler, the man infamous for murdering millions and starting World War II. He was also the man bested by Soviet Britain and her former leader, Josef Stalin. Eckhart no doubt wanted to avenge his ancestor for World War II, by finishing what he had started.
Reznov immediately ordered the military to enter a state of readiness. Military operations and drills started to be conducted on the Soviet Britainnian borders and in the Baltic, Mediterranean, and Arctic Seas. Soviet Britain had great strength, and was capable of beating back most enemies, however, Reznov wasn’t even sure there was an enemy. Perhaps he was overreacting and Eckhart really did want to keep Soviet Britannian and Antarctican interests separate. However, that non-aggression pact was just so disturbing. Reznov didn’t even know whether or not to take it. Some Generals were shouting to forget it and invade Antarctica before it was too late, others supported the idea saying there was nothing to worry about. Reznov had a different idea.
He would keep the troops active on the border, and simultaneously take the non-aggression pact. Once it was in effect, he would assemble some allies for a conference. Leaders from Germany, Israel, the United States, Canada, and France would meet to discuss the necessary measures needed to deal with the potential problem. In a public statement, the Soviet Foreign Relations Secretary spoke on the matter,
“We do not want to appear as if we are moving to engage any specific nation or party. However as the international community will understand, it is necessary to prepare for potential actions taken by an unknown enemy of which we have much to learn about. The possibilities of an instable Antarctican state, or a military threat posed by such a regime have been taken into account. Regardless, the military advisers have notified the President that any threat could be dealt with easily. We remind any of our worried citizens that is 2018, not 1941. Soviet Britain has progressed somewhat since those days, and this government will not let anything happen. As such, the President is accepting the non-aggression pact and we will hope for peaceful cooperation with Antarctica, or at very least a policy of staying away from each other.”
OOC: I control Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Scotland and England. And I am already allied with Antarteca so...yeah.
