Gravitas was the word, it had an immeasurable sense of gravitas that seemed to permeate deeply into the mind of anyone who gazed upon it. This was the heart of the Feng nation, the soul, and at the moment the trouble brain. For while the exterior remained spotless, immaculate even; trouble was brewing in the confines of the building. The sort of trouble that toppled kings and shattered nations, the sort of trouble that years of careful policy crafting and international politic-ing had sought to avoid...
"YOU DID WHAT"? The emperor screamed at the Feng ambassador to the IFC.
The dark-haired and decidedly young Feng Emperor was normally considered handsome by his contemporaries, his face bearing a sort of boyish charm that made him both appealing and comforting in a natural way that seemed to set people at ease. But, if said contemporaries could gaze upon his face now, contorted in rage and disgust at what he was hearing, their ruling would have been decidedly different...
"I-I was drunk and didn't mean to sire! I'm sorry!" The ambassador bumbled. "How was I supposed to know that the L&A Delegate would ban us anyway? Also, I'm sorry for drinking before going to the meeti-"
"ENOUGH! YOU HAVE FUCKING RUINED EVERYTHING FOR US! YOU'RE FUCKING FIRED!" Yan shouted, scaring the young man. He then turned off the screen, slumped back into his chair, and facepalmed himself.
Now what? That fucking idiot ruined everything. He though to himself. I can't believe he acted so stupid. How could he have acted so idiotically?
He sighed, and clenched his left fist, then punched his computer, then yelped when it twisted his wrist while punching it, hurting him a little.
Cradling his left hand, he began thinking of what would happen next.
Sure the The United Remnants of America(URA) and Roski will take advantage of this. They despise Feng with a passion.
Remembering those two nations brought a "thump" in his head. Another headache, caused by those two nations. He sighed, and swallowed some Tylenol washed down with water.
They will no doubt use "Feng aggression" and "Feng Imperialism" as an excuse to gather allies to declare war on Feng.
So if that's so...I need to gather Feng's allies.
He frowned when he thought that. Many of Feng's allies were in the IFC, or had ties with Roski or URA. The only reliable allies nearby was Topkekkia, Togeria, Mangjukoia and New Tuva SSR. The first one was a historical Feng ally, the second and third were in Feng's Quadruple alliance(Which also had Aravea as a member but Aravea had looser ties in the alliance), while the last despite being Communist, had traded with Feng in the past and was considered a honorary ally despite their Communist nature. Also, they were key in blocking Roskian military moves east so they were a crucial ally, despite being a government type which Feng officially disliked and disapproved of.
Togeria and Topkekkia had key locations in the Pacific as well, making them key in protecting Feng.
As well, Feng had The Royally United Provinces as a key ally in western Europe, not to mention North Timeria holding Brazil. These allies would likely be the first to respond to Feng's request for help.
The empire of Organized States would likely help the URA, making for a very dangerous potential base against Feng that could be used to attack Feng from the Ryukyu Islands.
When he reached the Ryukyu Island issue, he bit his lip.
He had two options: Launch a surprise preemptive strike to capture the Ryukyus, or let it be a potential base for an invasion by the anti-Feng coalition.
Right when debating that issue, his uncle, the Prime Minister/President of the Feng Royal Republic, Lulong Yin, walked into the room, looking disturbed. He glanced at Yan, and Yan instantly knew why.
"So, you heard." He mumbled.
"Of course I heard. I'm a President, not a damn homeless person." Lulong snapped. "To think your ambassador would do something so stupid-"
"Don't worry Uncle, he's been fired already." Yan interrupted.
"It doesn't matter, the damage has already been done. The URA and Roskians will doubtless not hesitate to use this opportunity while Feng has less diplomatic allies than usual. What do you expect to do about this?" He asked.
That's when Yan surprisingly grinned at his uncle. His uncle was started and felt his heart quicken a bit by the sudden change of mood in his nephew.
"This may look like a bad situation-And I won't lie, it likely is. But this is also an opportunity to finally rid us of our enemies. As such, I'll try to take the opportunistic style of looking at things." He told his Uncle.
"But our people don't want a war-I mean, they would gladly fight for our great country and die, but they don't want to die just to prove our superiority." His uncle lectured him.
"Of course they don't. But this isn't about Feng's cultural superiority-It's about preserving Feng's pride as a nation and proving other nations can't push us around. The people would hate it if we were pushed around like some lightweight. They would demand we defend our nation.
His uncle nodded. "That is true. However, we must first attempt diplomacy. If we jump to war, we will sound like the aggressors. Also, do you plan for conquering territory for Feng in this war?"
Yan waved his hand while laughing. "Oh heavens no, that'd make us seem like Imperialists. The age of the empire is over, since we became a democratic confederation. Feng is no longer an "East Asian superpower": It is a multi-ethnic democratic union with Feng being it's heart, but not the only important part of it."
Lulong nodded. "Just as I expect from you. I suppose you'd agree to white peace or minor land gains or money payments for nations who surrender?"
Yan nodded back. "Of course. Though I may replace their governments with democracies if they are dictatorships, or executive constitutional monarchies, depending on how much they like or hate constitutional monarchies. However, the main gains for Feng here will be diplomatic, not territorial or monetary gain."
Lulong nodded, and sat back in his chair.
"So you intend to call in the Quadruple Alliance?"
"Yes."
"Understood. I'll get to work to contacting the other nations as soon as possible."
Afterwards, the two leaders stood up, nodded at each other, and walked out of the room.

BREAKING NEWS!
The Feng Royal Confederation has been kicked from the IFC after the ambassador drunkenly announced Feng's withdraw from the IFC and when he was sober and tried to get Feng back into the IFC, Feng was denied. The URA officially announced that they would be preparing for a possible war with the Feng Empire, whilst the Feng government condems these actions and have placed sanctions on the URA and their allies and vassals. They have also began drilling troops and the Emperor has been on record as saying "Feng is not afraid of war, but warns URA of the possible escalation it may have and calls for URA to attempt a diplomatic solution instead of causing the deaths of millions of lives for the sake of destroying the Feng."
The Feng government also staged a military parade in Yujing today, where roughly 100,000 troops took place, in an effort to show the world the power and pride of Feng. There are also reports that nationalism in Feng is at an all-time high and many people are volunteering to fight for their nation against any other possible nation.
As tensions begin escalating, and the Feng government is beginning to openly rally it's allies to it's side for a possible war despite calling for a diplomatic solution instead of such a war, the question is raised: Will this erupt into a war between the URA and the Feng?
