NMK & Nova Capile Alliance (Closed)

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

Both Capileans shook hands with Kandi, and the Duke also took one of each kind of the mushrooms. "Why, these are quite a delicacy! I will have to order these for the palace," he said after eating both. Klaus politely said he wasn't hungry.

The Regent smiled and then said "I'm glad you enjoy them, now why don't you start off the talks? I'm sure we have much to discuss."

"Yes, we do indeed. First the alliance; we should formally sign and agree to that; Second, perhaps our position and plans for this new cold war that is developing?" Klaus said. The Duke wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and suddenly looked much more serious. Clearing his throat, he said: "Dear Regent, I'm sure you have the document ready; unless there is something you would like to do first?"

The Regent replied "I do indeed have the official document ready. Here it is" and the took out the document from a briefcase that was nearby. He placed it on the table and said "You should read it first before, signing."

¨Yes, of course, ¨ the Duke said, pulling out a pair of reading glasses and skimming over the document carefully. ¨Looks all in order." He pulled out a pen and signed the document in his scrawly, loopy cursive. Klaus quickly looked over it, and then signed it with a smaller, straighter signature, typical of a military officer. He then pushed it to towards the Regent; ¨Have you already signed it?¨

"I completely agree," the Duke said, shaking hands with the regent. "Is there anything else you would like to discuss with us?"

"I completely agree," the Duke said, shaking hands with the regent. "Is there anything else you would like to discuss with us?"

The Regent said "Perhaps, if you're willing to discuss them. I imagine tarriffs and such could be discussed at some point. I also have a present for you, a Yoshi. FInally, if you have any relatives about the same age as the Emperor, perhaps it would be an idea to arrange some sort of meeting."

The Duke's face lit up when he heard the second thing the regent said. "Really? Wow! Those are really amazing creatures; I should love to have one of my own. And yes, we do! I have a six year old great-grandson! Why, he would love this place! And I think the Emperor and little Karl would really hit it off. We must arrange something like that. But first, as you say, business; why don't you go first?" He popped another red mushroom into his mouth, and handed one to Klaus. Klaus nibbled a little off the side, and then set it down. The Duke frowned and whispered, "He's always been a picky eater."

The Regent said "In the interests of free trade, we should have a completely free trade area between our countries. Additionally, some level of economic cooperation might be of use, especially in a time such as this." and then ate a couple of the green mushrooms.

"Absolutely. A free trade zone would suit our interests very well. And what with the invasion of France and the United World Federation, cooperation is completely needed." He took a red mushroom and took a couple bites out of it.

The Regent said "I've already signed this one, for establishing a free trade area. Just sign it. As for cooperation, what would you rather we cooperate on" and then handed the Duke another document.

The Duke quickly skimmed and then signed the document, and then raised his eyes to the regent, finishing off his mushroom. "Perhaps a joint liberation of New Mexico? Or a concentrated effort on German territory on the Eastern Seaboard? It would seem both of our countries are concentrated in North America."

The Regent smiled and thought for a while, after which he said "That could work, but I think we should wait until the offensives actually start in the America. After what happened last time, I'd rather not engage the fascists head-on however. For now, I think we would work better if we cooperated on the financial and weaponry front. You may also want to otherwise prepare your forces for an upcoming offensive."

The Duke nodded. "Yes, we would be happy to share our technological improvements with you, and we are sure the same cooperation will be on your end. Oh, and our military is completely mobilized, apart from Volksstrum reserves. We are also looking to have three million volunteers join the army as temporary troops, and we could also draft or conscript another 5 million. We can also call up Regional Defensive Forces in the case that Nova Capile is invaded, to the sum of another million. I doubt their capability, however."

The Regent listened and smiled "I will have some of our experimental technology shared with you, as well as obtain a heavy discount on some experimental technology currently being researched and developed by some private companies. We have mostly mobilised already, but if need be we could boost the force further. Will you be wanting any money, because we have very high financial stability and security."

"We would be happy to pay any price to share our technologies; and although I'm sure they are inferior to whatever you are developing, let it be known that you can have unlimited supplies of our technology, including our power armor, hover tanks and conventional laser tanks, laser weapons, mech suits including the Eisern Guard ones, and all our other advancements. While I think our economy should be able to hold out for a long while, it may be necessary to take loans from you eventually. We plan to field almost 12 million men in our war against the Germans, and while our allies and satellites can field and pay a chunk of them, we are going to need a lot of funds. This will truly be a destructive war."

The Regent nodded and says "I will be happy to purchase some of the technologies you mentioned, they sound very interesting. While I do not personally know what the local private arms companies are researching, the government-backed research has been focused more in explosive and incinidary devices as well as protection from both. They seem complementary to each other. In terms of troops and money you seem to be set so that'e excellent. One option I am currently exploring is establishing a direct in-the-field communications link between our forces. While it is not our biggest, strongest industry we invest heavily in IT-related fields for domestic usage and to a much smaller extent, internarional usage."
An attendant stepped in to the room. He said "Sirs, I bring an urgent message from the Minister of Defense. He says that hostile forces have been recorded making landfall in Canada and also says that our forces deployed there are now manning all the fortifications and moving out to see if we can stop this invasion." and then walked back out of the room. The Regent had a shocked expression on his face which eventually subsided. He turned towards the duke and then sakd
"Well now. Things just got very, very serious. I will have to ask the Minister later who the attacker is. I would hope that it was not New Decius at this point in time."

The Duke was also astounded by the news. "It seems unlikely; they would have had to send troops from Indonesia, and we haven't detected an movement of German troops in that area. Oh, and your technological advances sound very interesting. And don't bother paying for any of our things; you can have examples of them free of charge. However, if you decide you want any for your own military, then we will require some payment, although you will receive a hefty discount. We are still producing them in limited numbers."

The Regent said "I do hope you are right. While I am confident that we would win a war with them, now is not the time or the place. As for the other things, that is excellent news. Do you have any other buisness to discuss or should we finish off these talks with some loose ends that are not strictly buisness."

"I don't believe so, Regent. It has truly been a remarkable day today in our countries history; today marks a powerful new alliance, and an eternal friendship between nations." He shook hands with the Regent. Klaus, who has frequently been exiting the room to approve bills and manage the country, announces he must leave early. Klaus' son was having trouble dealing with the Duchy by himself.

"No; I will stay here to finish the agreements." Klaus shook hands with the Regent and exited the room. Shortly afterwards the private jet took off. It would return to pick up the Duke.

The Regent smiled and nodded. He then said "Excellent then. Well, we have some loose ends to tie up. Firstly, we really should go see the Minister of Defense for an update on the current situation. We should also go over when/how you want your mushrooms & Yoshi sent/delivered. Finally, we should arrange that meeting at some point while we're here"

"Alright, that sounds good. Well, could you take me to the Minister, please?" the Duke grabbed one last mushroom for the road and began munching on it.

The Regent said "I certainly can. The Ministry's building is just a short distance from here. Do you mind sharing a car with little Napoleon? He's going back to school for the rest of the day and the Ministry happens to be on the way. Would be nice if we only needed to use the one car."

"Of course not! It will be nice to see him again!" The Duke followed the Regent to the car, finishing off his last mushroom. Really delicious, these things are. I must remember to order some for the palace. he thought.
