Manchurian Future (Attn: Hayaba, Open)

[Of the Quendi]

Harbin
the main tv channel of Manchuria was broadcasting a special message to the people of Manchuria, Hayaba, La Serenissima and many other countries as well as the colonies of La Serenissima. On the screen a middle aged gentleman of manchurian origin addressed the world "After an emergency meeting in the Senate of the Most Serene Republic of the Quendi the "Future of the Manchurian dependency act" has been passed by a large majority. The vote was carried predominantly by LPP senators as the Ind-Lib senators voted in favor of colonising Manchuria while the left wing supported reunifing Manchuria with the Communist Dictatorship of Greater China. We have a journalist on the spot in the capital of La Serenissima." The screen turned to showing a young han chinese woman interviewing a senator of the Quendi "This is Soong Wu standing outside the senate of La Serenissima. With me is senator Navien Nysore of the LPP. Senator what will the Future of the Manchurian dependency act entail?" She said handing the senator a microphone.
Nysore looked into the camera for a moment before calmly replying. "Well. In short this new act will present the people of the manchurian dependency with a number of options in regards to their future. Just as the name says. Several solutions has been debated in the senate and we have narrowed it down to the solutions we believe will serve the people of Manchuria best."
"But isn't this just yet another attempt by La Serenissima to expand its colonial empire? If the vote goes against Hayaba will La Serenissima do anything to force the will of the manchurian people through?" The journalist asked excited.
The senators face turned sour "Let me be very clear. La Serenissima has never forced any nation into our empire for any other reason then the best interest of the people of such a nation. The vast majority of the colonies are supported by teh general public and those that don't back up tend to be in no postition to rule themselves. If the manchurian people vote against Hayaba as you phrase it then we will make Hayaba leave. By the way I would like to point out that Hayaba's own future has been brought into jeopardy by its imperialistic tendencies and its warmongery and terrorism. Now if you will excuse me I still have a lot of work to do before dawn."
As the senator walked back into the iluminated senate building the manchurian news anchor returned to the screen. "The election will be held next work and the population is divided on the issue. Many Han wishes for the establishment of a union with the Communist Dictatorship of Greater China whereas manchurians are divided on the issue. Both mongolians and koreans however seem to favor some sort of colonial status under La Serenissima."

[Hayaba]

President Joseph Jackson has sent orders to paratroop messages saying that Greater Chinese rule will kill us alll.

[Hayaba]

President Joseph Jackson has sent new posters saying that the Republic shall win over evil.

[Reformed Britannia]

The government of Britannia supports the idea that Manchuria should come under direct Quendi control.

[Hayaba]

We will invade Greater China if Manchuria becomes part of it.

[Imperial tokugawa]

Imperial Council of Imperial tokugawa is agree with hayaban president

[Reformed Britannia]

If that occurs, we will not hesitate to assist the Quendi in taking measures to protect the safety and well-being of every nation in the Quendisphere by placing restrictions on Hayaba.

[Of the Quendi]

We will invade Greater China if Manchuria becomes part of it.

OOC: I hope you are aware of that no such nation exist? I simply made it to provide the han with an alternative.
P.S. Hi Imperial Tokugawa, long time no see. Why are you supporting Hayaba?

[Imperial tokugawa]

To the Quendi Nation: its been a while my closest ally

The Nation of Hayaba has a point

but i will side in the majority

[Of the Quendi]

To the Quendi Nation: its been a while my closest ally

The Nation of Hayaba has a point

but i will side in the majority

While we certainly admire Hayaba's devotion to setting up and independent Manchuria republic we do believe that it is a bit to early for Manchuria to become independent. While we will of course consent to the will of the people of Manchuria we do believe that a decade under Quendi rule will lead to a Manchuria better prepared for independence.

[Robithia]

Dearest Leaders,


The Peoples Republic of Robithia urge you to allow these people to establish their own communist nation, free to make thier own choices. We would glady provide financial aid as well as advisors, showing these people how to run a successful communist nation. To allow a government which favors the bourgeoisie and the upper class would be a grave mistake and in turn ensure the downfall of this weak nation. By allowing the proletarian to strive, a productive and happy nation will emerge. We hope you consider our request.


Sincerly,
Chairman Kalashov



Meanwhile a team of four RIA agents made their way into the heart of Manchurian. Mr. Gladamin watched the road ahead behind his aviators, whistling a tune of no relevance to any song but instead just something he continued to make up as he whistled along. Pausing for a moment, he peered out the front mirror and muttered to the women in the passenger seat "How far are we from the safe house Ms. Chlakov?" Chewing on a pen camp, her index finger traced the road they were traveling on to the area of their soon to be home for several months, or until the job was done "Not far, a few miles perhaps. Depends on if you can stop driving like a woman and actually speed up a bit." A chuckle escaped from Mr. Gladamin as he shaked his head, never letting his eyes leave the road "Oh dear, you make me the happiest husband in the world." She grinned slightly and looked at her fake wedding ring, knowing this was necessary to pose as a family of four but still finding it strange.

The four agents arrived at their house at last which was just outside the capital city of Manchurian. The old station wagon came to a halt just outside the home, boxes packed in the back with a few objects strapped to the top. Mr. Gladamin fixed his collar on his shirt and sighed, finding civilian clothes a bit uncomfortable for him. The two young agents, a boy and a girl around the ages of 18 and 16 groaned as they got out of the car and began to carry the boxes in the house. They were about a year from completing their training but this was a new method the agency was testing out. Only time would tell if this mission would be successful.

OOC:What's their aim,i presume they will kill Chang Li.

[Robithia]

OOC: All depends on what events unfold.

i will side on Quendi's devotion

ooc:you see why i fail to see Hayaba as a nation?(check sig under conflicts)

oh and Quendi? I was thinking I could govern a part of manchuria?

[Reformed Britannia]

Whitehall, Reformed Britannia
Comissioner Fitzpatrick of MI6 reclined in his office chair as he began to read the reports that were coming in from Manchuria. The region had become extremely volatile due to the Hayaban government's inexplicable choice to grant it autonomy; in the ensuing chaos, a Manchurian railroad magnate had been killed-and the Hayabans were placing the blame on the Robithian Intelligence Agency.

The idea might have had some credibility to it-the Robithians were known to support a communist Manchuria. But why would they target a simple businessman? It made no sense...

What would make sense, however, was the notion that President Chang Li of Manchuria had ordered the railroad tycoon to be murdered so he could place the blame on the RIA and Robithia, stirring up anti-communist sentiment within Manchuria and consolidating his own power base. If the people were focused on keeping their nation from falling to the 'evils' of communism, President Li would effectively ensure the survival of his Manchuria-and possibly use the people's fear of communism to further his own ends.

Fitzpatrick had seen one too many tinpot dictators rise out of situations like this; whether it was by spreading propaganda about opposing ideologies or murdering persons of interest and plastering the blame on foreigners. Manchuria wouldn't become a dictatorship-not if he could help it, anyway.

He raised his glass of Scotch to his mouth, and finished off the last bit of it. He savoured the taste for only a moment before he began composing a message to be sent to friendly intelligence agencies.

It would appear as if Mr. Li, the president of Manchuria, is attempting to lay the blame for a recent murder of a businessman on the RIA. This is-presumably-false information, as it would simply make no sense for RIA agents to gun down a random businessman, and even if they did, I sincerely doubt that the trained agents of the RIA would do it poorly enough to allow their agency to be identified.

It is clear that Mr. Li is attempting to consolidate his power base by stirring up anti-communist sentiment in Manchuria. If the people are distracted by anti-communist fervour, they will not notice as Mr. Li takes steps to 'ensure the safety of the nation' and slowly transforms Manchuria into a psychotic dictatorship.

Chang Li must be stopped in his tracks. As Commissioner of MI6, I wish to inform you that my agency stands ready to assist in any secret operations against President Li.

Sincerely,
Commissioner Fitzpatrick

Re: Views of the future of the State of Manchuria

Every nation has the right to be whatever it wants to be and free from any outside interventions. The Leaders of Hayaba has no right to administer Manchuria much as well as to rule their own nation through sheer ignorance. It is much plausible if Hayaba would become a Quendi Colony and let the Manchurians rule themselves rather that the other way around.

Heels clicked against the marble floor, rapidly increasing until they were in a slight sprin. Moments later a loud pounding filled the Director of RIA, Fedor Gorbachev's room. Frowning slightly he pulled off his glasses and set the file he had been reading down, leaning back in his chair as he let out a long sigh. "Come in damn it, this better be important". A young agent fixed his tie as he peeped his head in before finally taking a few steps to the head of the Directors desk. "I am very sorry Director but we have just recieved this message." Grabbing the file the Director put back his glasses and muttered the words to himself, being sure not to miss a single one. After a while he slammed down the file and pointed his index finger at the young agent "You tell Mr. Gladamin he has full authority to do whatever he needs to in order for this issue to be resolved. Also inform him that he has a blank check. That is all Mr. Vladako, now if you'll excuse me I need to do some work." The young agent gave a slight nod and quickly left the room, shutting the door behind him.
Fixing his glasses he began to respond to the message.

The Robithian Intelligence Agency believes Mr. Li has taken advatage of his new power and is the beginning stages of establishing a dictatorship. With this new anti-communist plot it is clear that he will be able to persuade the majority of the population from supporting the Communist Dictatorship of Greater China to instead support his own regime. We can not allow this to happen for the saftey of the Manchurian people as well as our own nations. Currently we have deployed a number of agents in hopes of removing the threat and allowing a fair and just leader to take control and lead the people until they are able govern themselves. We will keep you updated on our agents status and missions.

Have no worries. President Li is in no position to increase his power. While Manchuria is still a very unstable region the forces of the Quendisphere is the only power of significance in the region. Besides there is no reason to assume that Li is a bad guy. The true enemy is most likely the hayaban president. Joseph Jackson is a known anti-communist, not that I blame him, and will not like the current support for communists. If the Republic of Manchuria looses its leader then I fear that chaos will be the result. While to little is known of Li the II have currently not found any reason to believe that he isn't fit to rule his nation. It is however another question if Joseph Jackson is fit to rule Hayaba. A question that is currently being debated at the highest level of government. It goes without saying that this letter is of course strictly confidential, especially the parts about Jackson, and should not be reported to anyone but the most trusted ministers of Reformed Britannia.

Re: Views of the future of the dependency of Manchuria

You appear to have been misinformed minister. I can assure you that Hayaba excerts no influence over the Republic of Manchuria. Manchuria is currently held together by the Quendi lead forces in the region. I furthermore would like to redirect your attention to the referendum. As you can see there is no option allowing Hayaba to rule Manchuria. I would furthermore like to point out that many ethnic minorities disapprove of the establishment of an independent manchurian state and prefers other options.

The secret door to the basement slid open and Mr. Gladamin stepped inside, slowly closing the door behind him. Flicking on a switch the light bulb flickered sligtly before shining brightly in the middle of the room, confining the darkness to mere corners. The end of his cigarette glowed red as he inhaled deeply and then let a thick stream of smoke pour from his nose. His fingers opened his laptop and his thumb was place on the scanner. After checking his fingerprint; voice recognition and finally his temperature, the RIA logo appeared with the words "Welcome back Mr. Gladamin, would you like to be briefed on your new mission." Mr. Gladamin simply typed "Da".

The computer brought up the image of Mr. Li waving to a crowd. Mr. Gladamin studied his every feature but focusing on the eyes most of all. Suddenly, a womans voice began to speak "The current President of Manchurian is Mr. Li, the suspected employer of the assassins who recently murdered the businessman and tried to pin it on the agecny. It is believed he is a strong, anti-communist speaker who has the intent of leading the citizens down a path of chaos and social injustice, one that communism could clearly prevent. The agency believes it would be best if Mr. Li were to be removed. Mr. Gladamin, you and your team have been given the task of removing this man and ensuring the people are pushed more towards the path of communism. The motherland is depending on your success comrade. Good luck. The message ended abruptly with the words "Message Terminated" bold and capitalized in the middle of the screen.

Mr. Gladamin reviewed the mans eyes in his mind over and over, retracing the facial structure as well as his posture. All that was needed now was the decision of how the mission was going to be carried out. Obviously this could be be related back to the agency and an assassination might cause panic. If possible, it would need to appear as an accident. Another thick cloud of smoke drifted upwards, forming a haze around the light. Mr. Gladamin sat his cigarette down on the table, pushing it along as he mimicked a car noise. As he suddenly slammed it against the wall, sounds of a car crash escaped his now distorted lips which were in the shape of a deformed "O". A smile spread from ear to ear as he tossed the deformed cigarette aside and made his way back upstairs.

[Fabanti]

FROM THE DESK OF THE CONSUL

To all nations currently involved in the "Manchuria Crisis":

Given the history of volatile politics and violence in the Hayaban Republic and nearby regions, the Republic of Fabanti supports any outcome that removes Hayaban control from Manchurian politics and government. In the eyes of the Republic, it would be preferable that Manchuria was granted political independence and national sovereignty, with the ability to have free and open elections so that the people may decide their own fate. We believe that the Manchurian people should be allowed to select what political party and economic ideology they wish to follow on their own terms free from foreign interference. However, the Republic also recognizes that foreign involvement is already a part of the equation, with the unsubstantiated claims of RIA activity and Hayaban military meddling in the region. As this is the case, the Republic of Fabanti forwards the motion to make Manchuria a "Limited Protectorate" of the Quendisphere, with the province being granted full autonomy and sovereignty after the establishment of a constitution and a capable armed forces to defend the region.

The Republic of Fabanti affirms our support for the Most Serene Republic of the Quendi, while at the same time issuing a condemnation of the heavy-handed and often bungled tactics the Hayaban Republic has employed in their administration of Manchruia. Fabanti also issues a standing offer of support and aid to the Most Serene Republic should they desire assistance in the construction of defensive emplacements in Manchuria, or additional manpower to secure and safeguard the region.

Sincerely,

Consul Roland Thrace

Signed and affirmed by the Senate of the Republic of Fabanti
