The Wolf and the Eagle: Clash of the Superpowers (IC, MT-PMT

[Suryak]

Emperor Louis Bonaparte Petain is confused. The old ally wants to meet? He accepts anyway and prepares to fly.

[South Raznakova]

OOC: Although I am neutral, I am kind of leaning towards Suryak. However, this can change.

[Dyllonia]

Born from the spark of rebellion in the Medieval era, Dyllonia claims itself as one of the oldest nations on Earth. The Köztársaság of Dyllonia stands as a democratic republic with strong hate towards totalitarianism.

Created and named after Imperator Dyllonus and perfected by many other great leaders such as Imperator Ghandius, Imperatrix Barbara, Imperator Emiriat, and more recently Csaszar Rolo. Troubling times lie ahead for Dyllonia as it's first democratically elected monarch was forced to abdicate due to health issues. Rolo would pass on his title to Csaszar Albert, a man who was highly recommended by the Prime Minister Andy Rose.

[South Raznakova]

An armoured convoy awaits at the airport, waiting to take Emperor Louis Bonaparte Petain to meet with the General Secretary.

[Suryak]

OOC:Convoys are ships
The Emperor flies to South Raznakova, thinking during the flight.

[Persia-Kebabistan]

OOC;I'm fine with it
The offensive succeeds. Rio de Janero is cut off from the world., but they still have air superiority because Suryak didn't supply aircraft.
----
Suryak offers the Shahbanu access to free travel throughout Turkey free of cost.
----
The Bangladesh Free State requests to buy West Bengal from Temujinstan

"This is not ideal," the Shahbanu says, "but it's better than nothing."

She accepts Suryak's Turkish deal. Though she does not control Turkey anymore, the fact that she can still visit her homeland is nice.
---
Temujin accepts the Bengal Deal on the condition that Suryak does not interfere in Temujistan and that for a period of 10 years, 10% of trade revenue will go to Temujistan. He is open to amending this idea as long as both parties benefit in the end.
---
Ships and planes leave Bandar Abbas. Though Iran is independent, Temujistan still has bases due to vassal status. Also, Iran does not have its own military, just the Temujistani military.

[Oppermenia]

Some of the decoy Oppermenian ships are sunk, and then some people on the still standing ships send a video transmission to those who sunk the ships. He looks Brazilian, and speaks Brazilian Portuguese like he's lived there his whole life:
[in english for OOC purposes]
"Please, halt. We are not trying to do any harm, just making our way towards Brazil to make our trades. You just sunk our ships, which can be seen as an act of war. So, turn back. Let us carry out our trades in peace."

[South Raznakova]

The two men observe the meeting between Jon and Daniel from across the street. They are MFI operatives, assigned to watch Daniel, and assassinate him should he try to get into SR.

OOC: Not necessarily

[Persia-Kebabistan]

Saul has a strange feeling: as though people are watching them. He looks around but sees nothing out of the ordinary.

He resumes talking to Jon, Daniel, and Qasim, not knowing that in reality, people are watching him.

[South Raznakova]

OOC: Just so everyone knows, they are just observing, listening in. So please don't discover them.

[Suryak]

The marines reply: "You come to our enemy. We do not allow trades with our enemy. Now get out before I shoot you."
----
Suryak accepts and offers aid for militarization in exchange for economic benefits in Temujinastan.
---
The emperor arrives.

[South Raznakova]

MDS agents escort the emperor to the armoured limousine. He is driven through the streets of Vodovenko, towards the General Secretary's office.

[South Raznakova]

Military are everywhere. The convoy drives by a house, which is being raided by soldiers.

[Suryak]

The Emperor of Suryak
The Emperor looks around. Nothing looks different from Suryak except everything is in Russian. He awaits the meeting with the General Secretary.

[Oppermenia]

The marines reply: "You come to our enemy. We do not allow trades with our enemy. Now get out before I shoot you."
----
Suryak accepts and offers aid for militarization in exchange for economic benefits in Temujinastan.
---
The emperor arrives.

"We are neutral. We trade with everyone, no matter what side they stand on. Let us make our trades, or you will only start more than you're ending."

[South Raznakova]

The convoy arrives at the office of the General Secretary. The Emperor is escorted up the stairs to the office.

"Hello Emperor, it is a pleasure to see you again.", says the General Secretary.

[Suryak]

"You don't fool us Neo-Vikings. Brazil shall not fall to Nordic Peoples. One day, Iceland shall fall."
Rio de Janerio falls as tanks burst open the city walls. The civil war is over and a puppet military dictatorship is installed.

[Suryak]

"Hello, old friend. Why have you asked me to meet you?"

[South Raznakova]

"You and Oppermenia have engaged in a cold war. At the moment, I am neutral. However, this could change very easily. As you know the Daniel, son of Markos, is alive and well in Oppermenia. He is the one who attacked my country and is an enemy of the state. However, the only reason he is alive is because convinced me to let him live. My people are not happy about this. They know that I could have him killed at any moment and I choose not to. This "deal", I made with Jon is not beneficial to me. We believe in two different ideologies, however, in this day and age, I cannot let ideologies determine whose side I am on. Should I choose to side with you, which, if I am being completely honest, will probably happen, you would have full support of my military in any "conflicts", that should arise. You could also keep troops in SR. I would also provide you with supplies and we could have open borders. In return of course I would want to be able to house troops in you country and be able to trade SR goods in Suryak controlled territories without restrictions. You could do the same in SR. What do you say?"

[Suryak]

The Emperor twirls his mustache. He thinks. After 10 minutes, his old mouth moves.
"Very well. However, please do not liberate the concentration camps for the North Empire POW. Also, I am beginning to make plans for Operation Unthinkable-should it ever happen. You know, if we have to invade Oppermenia. You know, add missile defense systems, etc etc etc."

[South Raznakova]

"Of course."

[South Raznakova]

The General secretary pushes a button on his desk. 10 men in suits walk in.

"These men will escort you back to the airport."

[Suryak]

"Very well. Before I leave, I want to speak of a project. It will be to construct an aircraft carrier 4 times the infamous Gerald F Ford one. A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it will have the best guns and missile systems. Mabye even a WMD. It will be a group project, although the costs and matienence will be heavy. Farewell."

[South Raznakova]

"The project sounds interesting. It could be built in Siberia. No one will think to look there."

[Persia-Kebabistan]

OOC: Just so everyone knows, they are just observing, listening in. So please don't discover them.

OOC: Okay, thanks for the heads-up.

OOC: Will we still have fusion reactors, or are we not doing them. Personally, I think we should not use fusion reactors.

IC: The ships and planes launched earlier attack Saudi Arabia. Ships and airplanes launched from Iran conquer the East Coast, while some planes fly across the peninsula to attack the West Coast and ships sail from India to the Red Sea to attack the West Coast.

However, Temujin knows that he can not control the Hejaz, one of Arabia's regions. The Hejaz is home to Islam's holiest sites and people will be opposed to Temujin controlling it since Temujin worships Tengri.

He then thinks of a solution: Temujin will control the rest of Saudia, but the Hejaz will be in a personal union with Iran.

A personal union is when two polities are legally and functionally separate entities, but both have the same head of state. This is what will happen with Hejaz. Hejaz will be separate from Iran but its monarch will be the Shah. Because it is a different entity from Iran, Hejaz will not be a vassal of Temujin. Thus, the Shah will be a vassal of Temujistan as Shah of Iran, but she will be a completely sovereign monarch as Khalifah of Dar al-Islam.

However, the Caliphate will only control Hejaz. Though teh Caliphate will be de jure independent from Temujistan, it is de facto Temujin's vassal, for the Shah is a vassal as Shah of Iran and if she betrays Temujin, Temujin can take over Hejaz.

Thus, Temujin is giving the illusion that the Caliphate is independent even though it is simply Temujin's vassal. This means he can get influence among Muslims without them realizing it.

However, when the Shah becomes the Khalifah, she is made to decree that Muslims in different countries do not fall under control of the Khalifah. For example, Turks in Suryak and Indian Muslims in Temjistan do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Caliphate.
