BREAKING NEWS 12/14/2019 Carrie Lam Surrenders Hong Kong to Prince Frederik Press Conference Ended This Morning With Foreign Denunciations of the Prince over Fake News To the raucous crowds in Hong Kong today, former Chief Executive and now Interim Duchess of Hong Kong Carrie Lam formally surrendered the city to Crown Prince Frederik, after negotiations with Chinese Foreign Minister broke down early this morning. Blaming foreign interference and a "utterly narcissistic refusal to negotiate terms" on the ministers part, Prince Frederik was unjustly detained and kicked out the negotiating hall by PRC forces. When returned to the hands of the American diplomatic retinue, Prince Frederik staunchly returned to the city with Carrie Lam and protest leader Joshua Wong. Princess Andrea had been in her own secret negotiations with the autonomous government of Hong Kong (formerly backed by the PRC) in the time preceding and during their visit to the city. As the local elections had put Wong's party in a landslide victory, Lam did "whatever it took to preserve the city and her own fortune" and opened negotiations. Lam is expected to head the government temporarily until this crisis is resolved, and then turn over power to Joshua Wong as Duke. The Lam family will remain ennobled as Barons, and Carrie herself has been granted several estates in East Asia and in the Mainland ARS. Prince Frederik and Princess Andrea stood proudly with the two as this announcement was made, and a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people cheered for a freedom in the name of democracy and liberation. Frederik is personally being hailed as a hero and martyr, is being titled by some Hong Kongers as "Xiàozōng", a temple name meaning "filial ancestor" for his steadfast fulfillment of his father's will in the face of slander, adversity, war and even death. Yet even with this laudable achievement, word has begun to spread of a conspiracy theory gaining popularity in foreign media. The Prince is accused by some of having thrown an American diplomat from a window to his death. This theory has made the rounds on social media like Reddit, Twitter, and in fringe news outlets like the (illegal) Breitbart news. Trumpist remnants perpetuate the theory as a means of discrediting the government's moves, but this theory has been disproven by several reputable news outlets like our own, Reuters and MSNBC. There has been no word from the crown as of yet whether libel and slander laws will be used to prosecute anyone in the ARS perpetuating this theory. Comments (15673) POPULAR cbowsy Victory for ARS! Victory in Victoria Harbor! This is truly a great day to be an American. Five Demands? Nope. Five representatives in the peoples' house and freedom for all! Hell yeah! As for that conspiracy theory. Come on. That's just sad. Do you really think the Prince would be dumb enough to do that? Trumpists really are desperate incels. Smh. WongJoshOfficial King Alexander IV, Our Liberator! Long may he live! Long may he reign! Prince Xiaozong! May He Succeed His Father and Long May He Reign as Well! CONTROVERSIAL MAGA2024 He murdered a dude, people! There is goddamn video of it!

Hong Kong

A fleet of Svadyetskan military transport planes lands at Hong Kong airport, disgorging several battalions of olive-uniformed figures wearing white armbands emblazoned with a red cross as well as a hundred or so vehicles. The medical personnel move to areas identified as the worst hit in the recent waves of civil unrest and set up ad hoc field hospitals to treat minor injuries.


South China Sea, exact location unknown

SNV Nikodim prowls through the depths. Hull bristling with sonar antennae and other devices, the submarine is to observe the situation in the local area. Reassigned from duty in the Northern Fleet, the boat's last port of call was its usual operations base in order to remove the nuclear warheads from the vessel's armory. Despite being defanged, Nikodim still retains combat capability, carrying its usual complement of torpedoes as well as retaining its non-nuclear missile arsenal.

In response to the recent communiques issued by the Stoklomolvi Foreign Affairs Commissariat, Soviet Navy Command has advised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to advise the relevant parties that an Okhotnik class attack submarine has been deployed into the South China Sea as an intelligence asset. Soviet Navy Command would like to stress that the Okhotnik class is nuclear launch-capable but that the submarine in question, SNV NIKODIM, has been disarmed of nuclear capabilities.

The United Soviet States heeds the advice given to refrain from the deployment of military assets. Should military assistance from the United Soviet States be sought, we will deploy elements of the Soviet Navy as well as the Svadyetskan Ground Forces once a formal request has been made. Once again, the United Soviet States would like to stress that SNV NIKODIM has been assigned to intelligence duties and has been ordered to avoid conflict with forces hostile to the People's Republic of China.

Viktor Yegorev
Minister of Foreign Affairs

In response to recent developments, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also releases another statement.

To: The governments of the world
From: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Soviet States, Ministry of State Media of the United Soviet States

Following the denial in the state media arm of the Royal States of America of the crimes perpetrated by the so-called Prince of Columbia, the United Soviet States of Svadyetsk concludes that the actions of the so-called Prince of Columbia are endorsed by the government of the Royal States of America. Therefore, it must be concluded that the attempted annexation of Hong Kong is being perpetrated by a regime that ignores the criminal acts committed by its own corrupt elite and chooses instead to demonise the government of a foreign power. The United Soviet States sees the blatant land grab being carried out by the Royal States of America as yet another manifestation of the hatred commonly shown towards socialist nations.

The United Soviet States acknowledges the actions of the People's Republic of China may lead to the denial of civil rights. However, the People's Republic of China is justified in the application of force in the cause of national unity and the defense of sovereignty. In contrast, the Royal States of America grants the members of its self-styled royal family care blanche to commit whatever horrific deeds that they wish to perpetrate and uses the claims of other peoples to further its own imperial ambitions. The democracy and legitimacy of the Royal States of America are clearly overshadowed by its government's expansionist and hostile agenda, which seeks to dominate as much territory as the leaders of the Royal States of America feel that they can get away with. This government willingly spends the blood of others to further its own material gain and, even if it is not responsible for the recent uprisings in Hong Kong, profits from the misery and suffering of others.

The United Soviet States of Svadyetsk accuses the government of the Royal States of America of the following charges:

Violation of Chinese sovereignty
Incitement of unrest against the lawful government of the People's Republic of China
Deliberate misinterpretation of the wishes of the people of Hong Kong
Complicity in the act of murder
Deliberate misinformation of the public of the Royal States of America

The government of the United Soviet States calls upon the international community to condemn the illegal acts perpetrated by the government of the Royal States of America.

Communique of France

To Obstinate Fools of All Countries Abroad,

We are quite bewildered at the treachery and calumny shown by the supposed "friends" America gained in this crisis. Regardless of the legitimacy of the story of the Defenestration of Hong Kong, who cares? Do you fools not see that this is a distraction made by peasants, for peasants, to try and keep a people in oppression. It seems you fools have completely forgotten why this annexation happened in the first place. France is not so idiotic. We continue to aid America.

Unless, of course, you people are the hypocrites we know you all to be. We did not pretend to care about Hong Kong. We acted to advance French interests, a weakened China. One can say the same of all those pretending to care about the people of Hong Kong. We may be a vulture, but those who self-efface their vultureness are less than scum. Plus, if this was an American citizen, they were the property of the American kingdom to begin with. None of our business.

From,
His Most Christian Majesty, Louis XXI, by the Grace of God, King of France and of Navarre

[Munkcestrian Republic]

In a video released on all major social media platforms, George Fenwick calls Louis XXI "the most obstinate fool" and challenges him to a rap battle. He also informs him that 'obstinate' is incorrect, because everyone has just changed their minds and that goes against the definition of the word.

MON OF MAKI KOJIRO, SHOGUN OF THE EMPIRE OF GREATER NIFON

To the honorable minister of foreign affairs of France et Navarre ;,

I am writing with mutual declaration of Kojiro-sama and opinion expressed by Her Augustness herself. On behalf of the Shogunate I wish to officially communicate that the Empire of Greater Nifon considers the recent insult hurled at Kojiro-sama and her Augustness, calling them "fools" is an intolerable breach of diplomatic protocol and will be noted as such.

On behalf of the Empire of Greater Nifon I wish to remind your excellencies that the Empire of Greater Nifon had joined support for the annexation to advance it's own national interests, mainly in containing the spread of the communist threat. It is of no doubt to Kojiro-sama that a military reclamation of Hong Kong is highly improbable without starting a major international conflict. As such, the Empire of Greater Nifon is restricting itself so far to diplomatic support, hoping that word of the Empire of Greater Nifon will matter in international negotiations. Diplomacy, however, governs itself with its' laws.

The recent actions of Fredrick-denka are, however, of massive importance when you consider how international relations work. By assaulting a diplomat, Fredrick-denka had thrown a wrench in functioning of the global diplomatic system, and as such proven that Nifonese diplomats that would be dispatched for eventual talks are not secure. If rules of international courtesy continue to be broken like that - a claim which is addressed at childish insults directed at Kojiro-sama as well - it will render all heritage of generations of diplomacy fruitless, propagating global chaos.

Furthermore, Fredrick-denka's acctions have only legitimized claims made by the communists, and portrayed states that wish for greater containment as aggressive barbarians who know nothing of civilized behaviour.

I wish to openly announce that the Empire of Greater Nifon is on it's own working to weaken the communist threat. It is with full wish for the Empire of Greater Nifon to see China weakened, however, that weakening can not happen at loss of international prestidge for the Shogunate. Continued association with breakers of the diplomatic law will, in Nifonese view, bring such loss, and thus Kojiro-sama had judged supporting RSA unprofitable until at least minimal steps to migate the damage have been taken.

On behalf of the Shogunate, I would like to request an official apology directed at Kojiro-sama. Failure to do so will result in deterioration with the Empire of Greater Nifon. Should such apology be accepted, the Empire of Greater Nifon will eagerly consider the French state to be a valid partner in solving this issue and containing the communist threat, and for possible trade negotiations in the future as possible replacement for Chinese companies. It's important to note that the French monarchy does not pose a direct threat to Nifonese interests at this moment, and as such, it is Kojiro-sama's view that positive relations between our two states ought to be maintained, especially in face of rabid communist expansionism and dominance of liberal politics. Such relations can only exist should all parties be treated with dignity they deserve.

Honor guide you,

- TOKUGAWA ASUKA, MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS OF THE EMPIRE OF GREATER NIFON

Albert Shapter gave a small dancing masters bow to the King as he lazy sat looking at a thing from China. The BBC China unit had it as front page news , also Reuters (Subject to OP Approval) The proclamation of ruthlessness by throwing one of his own diplomats out the window did not sit too well with the Nifonese. The Consul in Hong Kong had tried to help encourage dialogue between the protestors and the government. The Chinese had said that there was American agent’s provocateur involved. And the Mcnernians had an interest in HK as the place was a key point in Asia. The concern of the Mcnernians was that this would escalate. They had enjoyed relations with the Americas, the House of Hamilton had been welcomed to the Monarchical stage though the Macnarin dynasty was more ancient, wealthier and more dangerous.

Emilion IV was the latest in a long line, a man prone to bouts of childish ego and anxiety he nonetheless had faith in God. Brother of a ravished Queen he had taken the throne unwillingly but had come into the duty bringing a sense of unease. He had married for love and had taken two mistresses, one with his wife’s sanction and the other without when he had thought his wife dead he had taken the other. All unions had borne fruit. Some more than others. The King sat on the couch wearing a simple outfit smiling at the news. The Chinese had been concerned and the situation could blossom into Nuclear War.

“The man is a bastard to be sure, the people of Hong Kong must surely be in a state of, well, wondering what exactly they got themselves into.”

“Of course.”

What was concerning was Taiwan and the Republic. Mcnernia had recognized the ROC early on, Sun Yat Sen had been granted an audience with the King at the time and the man had said that Mcnernia could be considered something of an ally. If only to subvert the great powers pressing in around China with the intent of carving it up. Mcnernia had offered to pay for things. A far sight different so far from home than what Mcnernia had done with all the colonization.

“What do you plan to do Prime Minister?’

“I plant to draft a statement to the international community that we will not recognize the American claim over Hong Kong in the face of this idiotic act.”

“Arrogant is more like it, I'm surprised the Americans aren’t thrown out of the Philipines.”

“Hmmm. Most interesting.”

Concerns about Hawaii had been lodged a long time ago as the Kingdom had been a friend to mcnernian sailors and merchants plying the south pacific. The King nodded his assent and the PM left. The dispatches were long and quite enjoyable.

Greetings

Due to the dangerous and unacceptable actions of the Prince of Columbia HM Government will SUSPEND the recognition of the City of Hong Kong as a State of the American Royal States. HM Government has enjoyed amicable relations with both countries and now we officially lodge EXTREME CONCERN with the International Community. HM Government urges the utmost measures be taken for peace. We shall abide by the decision of the Empire of Greater Nifon and support them in withdraw from negotiations.

However HM Government has signed a treaty with the Republic of China on Taiwan which obliges us to ensure their independence. HM Government will not deploy forces unless Taiwan is directly threatened by the People's Republic.

Sincerely
S.Calgran, Foreign Minister

The Mcnernian submarine stole through the depths, the nuclear powered vessel could deliver cruise missiles or torpedoes or tube launched anti ship missiles against targets. At the current moment she was running at periscope depth towards the islands held by the American empire in the South Pacific. The order was to make a slow approach and use what gear they had to establish an initial probe. The Philippines would be monitored by other submarines if not the Chinese Navy. But as of the current moment the orders for the submarine were to maintain radio silence and monitor the approaches to the islands. Orders had gone out from Dai Kuong and the naval base there. The patrol was interrupted by this station order.

Mcnernian Embassy

“Defenestration of a diplomat, one of your own…what point was he trying to send….” The Ambassador looked at the passing street below. In the distance was the Forbidden City and the Mao portrait that loomed over the visitors. The Mcnernians had gained the Embassy as a sign that the Chinese held them in relatively high regard. For a western bloc power though they were a SACTO signatory the issue was the precedent. Mcnernia was by and large a parliamentary democracy and the Chinese had been accused of supporting the Reds the relationship between these two opponents of the Americans. One for being pretentious upstarts, the other because they were disgusting reactionaries. Now the Chinese were preparing to defend their home. The Kaisongs had chosen independence from Wenchuan (A nation close to Nihon) And their position had ensured continued Mcnernian interest. And now Hong Kong had also ensured the interest of the Mcnernians.
“I don’t know sir.”

“Right, Inform the government that we need to talk about Taiwan.”

The orders had come down from Cathcride that there be some discussion over Taiwan as a part of China as the Mcnernians had no interest in seeing any sort of nuclear hellfire erupt.

A message would be sent to the Chinese Government. And their allies

Greetings
HM Government is concerned about the American aggression towards your country. And HM Government desires to assist in dealing with the problem post haste. The American Empire in the South Pacific is one of the biggest threats to International trade as the Royal American Navy could cut off the trade of many nations and Mcnernia is one of them. We both have problems with the RSA and we hope to discuss how some joint plan of action could be brought about.

Then again as some manner of riot situation was gripping the SAR according to the Consular Office there there was a handover of the city as well as socialist troops in the streets and not Chinese. The French insult was ignored, as the Bourbons were not of concern.
