Normalisation of Relations
-
"Okay - well I'm not exactly going anywhere. Are you going to tell my government where I am? My absence will be surely noticed." Bernie said.
In Icholasen
"Chairman" the Nicoleizian Minister of defence said. "We have reason to believe Comrade Bernie Sanders has been kidnapped. We haven't been able to make contact with him for hours now."
"Call the Reitzmag PM." Chairman Jirluchuz said.
In Reitzmag
Mark Johnson's phone began to ring....
-
PM Johnson gets out of the room to answer the phone.
PM Johnson: "I'll be right back in a moment. Guards, lock the room and get Min. Coventry out of it."
answers the call
PM Johnson:"Hello, who is this?"
-
"Hello it's Chairman Jirluchuz of Icholasen. Hope all is well. Do you know where my Foreign Minister is? He hasn't checked in with us for several hours and we know that he landed in Reitzmag. Please, he's just an old man." The Chairman begged.
-
PM Johnson: "Greetings Chairman, I have not seen your Foreign Minister yet. I have been expecting to see him for a long time. We're doing our best to find him since he has been gone for a long time and I hope he's safe and sound wherever he could be."
-
"Mr. Johnson, with all due respect, the pilot says he saw him getting into a car with your Foreign Minister, Mr. Coventry. He's with your people. If you don't give us answers we will be forced to intervene in your country but if you just tell us where he is we will not have to get involved."
-
PM Johnson: "I'm sorry chairman, I have no contact with my Foreign Affairs Minister right now. We want peace and will cooperate in finding him as soon as possible."
-
"Okay Mr. Johnson. If he doesn't respond in 1 hour we will start taking action from our air force stationed in Czech Slavia and our Navy in the Black Sea. You have been warned." Jirluchuz said.
-
PM Johnson hands gives the chairman's number to Min. Coventry and calls it.
Min. Coventry: "Greetings Chairman Jirluchuz! (speaks in a low disguised voice)"
-
"Greetings. Where is my foreign secretary?" Said the Chairman.
-
Min. Coventry: "Chairman, it looks like you've lost your Foreign Minister. And I know where he is. I will tell you where he is if you will do what I say. One mistake and you could lose him....forever!"
-
"Tell me what is required." The Chairman said to the Prime Minister. "I will do my best to oblige. But, if you harm Bernie the wrath of Icholasen will scar your nation forever."
Secretly, the Chairman ordered the launch 30 divisions of Su-57 fighters (or 750 planes), 15 Divisions of Fighter-Bombers (or 450 planes), 10 divisions of Bombers (240 planes), and 20 divisions of Strategic Bombers or 600 planes to take off from Czech Slavia where they had been waiting on high alert since the end of hostilities. They would arrive over Reitzmag in around 2 to 3 hours. In addition to this, Icholasen's roaming fleet of submarines was put on alert with around 30 conventional missiles ready to strike strategic locations in Reitzmag. It would take Reitzmag some time to notice the arrival of the sky-armada, but they would be able to tell it was arriving soon.
-
Min. Coventry: "Okay, here's the deal. We'll release Sandals, I mean Sanders, to you. But you should give us 5 squadrons of your SU-57 planes immediately. Then, you shall surrender the power over Icholasen to the legitimate monarchy."
-
"We will not agree to that. If you don't give up Bernie right now we will fire upon your nation." The Chairman said.
-
Min. Coventry: "Okay, we'll give you Bernie as long as you give us 5 squadrons of SU-57s for free."
-
"We will not give up any air-force units. All we want is Bernie and for us to return to the pre-crisis relations between our countries." The Chairman stated.
-
Min. Coventry: "Well, then say goodbye to your friend if you will not give us our demands. I'm giving you one last chance or we'll make you meet Bernie at the cemetery."
All GRAF personnel get ready for an impending attack at the signal of Min. Coventry. The planes were ready and all other equipment.
-
"If you so much as lay a hand on Bernie - yet alone kill him - we will bomb your capital and no Reich will be spared in our bombing campaign. We just want Bernie to be released alive and no harm will come to any Reitzmen. But, if you refuse, we will launch the most aggressive bombing campaign since New Moreland." The Chairman said, solemnly. He did not want to have to bomb Reitzmag.
-
Min. Coventry: "Excuse me Chairman, but the government has nothing to do with this. Just give us the planes for free with HQ and we'll release Bernie with no harm."
-
"Look," said the Chairman. "Just let Bernie go and we will turn our planes around. Is that alright?"
-
Min. Coventry: "Ok, fine. We'll release him tomorrow. We just want the aircraft. We're planning to do something with it. We'll release him without harm. Just help us on what we want."
