Bernie Sanders landed in Hampton to meet the Reitzmic delegation there. Sanders had helped negotiate the peace deal in Reitzmag as one of his firsts acts as Nicoleizian Foreign Minister and was excited to land in the country to meet the delegation awaiting him. He was pleased to present them with the money they needed to replace the ship that was unfortunately lost to a rogue Nicoleizian fighter pilot. He brought a large cheque for the sum of however much the boat cost.
Minister Philip Coventry of the Foreign Affairs Ministry met Min. Sanders and shook hands with him.
Min. Coventry: "Good day Mr. Sanders! Why don't we proceed now to meet the Prime Minister in 10 Downing Street."
Min. Coventry opens the car door for Mr. Sanders.
"Okay!" Mr Sanders said and got into the car. Sanders thought about how safe and secure he felt in a country grateful for the USNR's support.
Min. Coventry pulls out a tranquilizer from his pocket and secretly injects it to Min. Sanders making him loose conscience. He closes the door and enters on the other. He made sure that no one saw what he did except for his fellow SIS members.
The car drove immediately out of the airport going to a helipad where a helicopter is waiting to take Sanders at Brewnest City.
After some time, the helicopter lands immediately at the military base and Sanders was taken out to a small underground room beneath the HQ of the GRAF.
Sanders woke up in a few moments only to see him detained with a group of SIS Members including PM Johnson and Min. Coventry.
Min. Coventry: "Hello there Mr. Sanders, did you get a nice sleep?"
Bernie came to, worried and scared. He had no idea that the Reitzmic government was so annoyed with him, he thought the compensation for the boat was good enough to make them not be angry at the USNR. "When the Politburo finds out about this, they're gonna be mad! What's your plan? Are you billionaihs from Inquistah?" Bernie said, realising that maybe these were Inquistans trying to buy out the country of Reitzmag and get access to him. Had he made a grave error in the peace talks? "What are you going to do with me? I'll never give up the secrets of the USNR willingly."
PM Johnson: "We're not billionaires from Inquista Mr. Sandahs (speaks jokingly and laughs), we're just gonna take care of you and we're not asking for your stupid secrets that can be seen from our spy planes."
Min. Coventry: "No one knows yet where you are, the Politbullshit will just be guessing where the fuck you are. And they still don't know (evil laughs)."
Sanders was offended at PM Johnson's imitation of his accent. That hurt. "Are you going to use me as some kind of bargaining chip? I can ask them for whatever you want if you let me go free." Sanders said. Sanders had been trained for this during the 1960s in Czech Slavia. he was grateful today for his training in handling hostage situations.
Min. Coventry: "Shut up Barney, I mean Bernie. You know what we want, right? And you know that we were trained just as you were and know what you're planning. We're just keeping you here until we need you again."
"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."
Minister Philip Coventry of the Foreign Affairs Ministry met Min. Sanders and shook hands with him.
Min. Coventry: "Good day Mr. Sanders! Why don't we proceed now to meet the Prime Minister in 10 Downing Street."
Min. Coventry opens the car door for Mr. Sanders.
