30th Royal AeroSpace Exhibit
-
Then Simon Bridges whispers to one of the guards to call Jean Claude-Juncker. The guard then arrived with Mr. Juncker. Then, he asks Mr. Juncker quickly and quietly:
"Should I accept it?"
"What?"replied Juncker.
"But, I think we can use it against them" replies Simon.
"Against who? I don't know even what you are talking about Simon" replies Juncker curiously.
"The UNSR is calling and they want to have an arms deal with us" says Simon.
"And you have negotiated the deal?" asks Juncker.
"Well, I haven't agreed yet. My problem is that the Condemnation act is going to stopp us from doing this advantage mission." says Simon.
"You know my opinion about them Simon. And also it's illegal" replies Juncker.
"Ok, thanks a lot for the help" replies Simon.
"No problem. I hope you take the best decision, and the one that's legal" says Juncker.
Then Simon turns to Mikaela and says.
"I will not accept it, but we have to talk after the party Ms. Archbishop"
Then Simon went to the phone and replied to Jirluchuz.
"I may not accept it for now, but we have to talk later."
-
"Okay boo! That's okay talk soon."
-
Juncker seemed surprised when he left the room. When Reitzmag was making progress, kaboom. They negotiate with Communists. He went to the gardens to have a walk, he had a big headache: "How can a nation give me that amount of headaches per week?" He thought. He admired the gardens and drank some water.
-
Mikaela quickly realised what was going on and who was on the other side of the phone. She looked to Prime Minister Bridges.
"Oh! This is about arms, right? Aircraft, maybe? Maybe on a much later date. I'm here purely for pleasure, not for business! I'm about to head out, so please don't let me interrupt this very important call you have."
-
The call ended. Joe Biden stormed the room and made an announcement.
"Your Majesties, Your Exellencies, and Your Holiness, the helicopter is ready to go to RAF Brewnest."
Then George stands up and hands the treaty document to Joe, then he sighs.
"Well, time to go to the palace grounds now so we can watch now the air show at RAF Brewnest."
Then he leads the others out of the palace. Outside the palace were red coat guards lined up in formation to give a path for the leaders to go.
Then the leaders review the guards just like any other person on a state visit. After the troop review, the leaders ride a helicopter for each going to RAF Brewnest.
In a few moments, the helicopters arrive at the air base.
Then as they go to their seats, a voice then was heard announcing the arrival of the guests.
Then another voice was heard saying the following:
"The Air Show will be happening in a few moments."
-
Lorens Henningson was prepared for a rather eventful day, he was a former naval submarine officer so he was not partial to aircraft, but Archkonsul Nylund felt it prudent to test the waters with how Reitzmag was continuing its reintegration with more sane European nations.
Henningson was of course here in his duties as effectively the defense minister for Vayinaod meant he should support various public relations moments. The 1st Fleet was known for its extravagant fleet week, which Henningson personally enjoyed, while the Air Corps was known for its love of pushing the Black Ravens as a diplomatic tool for other nations.
Henningson's only love for the Black Ravens was being crucial in the F/A-19s failed bid as a multi-role fighter for the Air Corps, his company at the time instead successfully convincing the Air Corps to approve an avionics upgrade for the F-12s instead.
Regardless, the flight-line looked pristine with all the niceties you expect. Henningson just hoped to smile, shake some hands, cover his ears, and get out as soon as possible.
-
As everybody gets to their seats, the air show begins. 8 planes appear from the right releasing colored smoke. It was the Vardic Black Ravens Aerobatics Team.
The aerobatics did some wonderful stunts in which King George very much applauded and went to Mr. Henningson and said:
"Look at how lovely the Vardic Air Demonstration Teams are! I hope you are enjoying this air show."
AS George talked to Henningson, the planes continued to the left.
Then, some 20 aircraft appeared from the right in a formation. It was the No. 35 Squadron RAF a.k.a. 1st Fighter Squadron with 20 Griffin FA.21 fighter jets.
After some few moments, the griffins continue to the left and landed in a hidden runway. Then another group of 20 aircraft appeared to the right. It was the No. 30 Squadron RAF with Flanker-E FA.16 fighter jets bought from Icholasen before the communist uprising.
As the Flanker-Es continue to the left, another group of 10 aircraft appear. It was the half of the No. 31 Squadron RAF with Fulcrum-F FA.17 fighter jets also bought from Icholasen before the conflict.
Then some 3 aircraft appeared to be similar from the griffins. It was the Alpha Squad of the Commonwealth Air Forces from Leagio with their FA.21 fighter jets bought from Reitzmag.
Then some helicopters followed. It was the No. 1 Squadron AAC with 20 of the 100 Rooivalk AH.32 in the fleet bought from Europolis.
And finally, the most waited. As the helicopters disappear from the view of the audience, some red planes appear. It was the No. 40 Squadron RAF which was commonly known as the red arrows. It appears that they are flying with a British Airways aircraft.
The group performed some beuatiful signature stunts after the passenger plane leaves. The group released their color smoke as they perform their stunts. And they disappear from the audience's view.
King George heavily enjoyed the air show. But then there was more. He was about to stand up and leave but a voice was heard announcing not to leave yet.
"What? Well, ok" exclaimed George. Then he went back to his seat.
A large screen was put up showing a rocket. It was the Falcon 9 rocket which was in a modern style. And then, a timer showed up. George thought it was just a joke but then.
"T minus 15"
"T minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....Ignition....0"
"Lift off!"
And then a loud noise that seemed to be coming from a rocket was heard.
((OOC): click the image)A rocket appeared from behind the trees. It was real, everyone did not expect what happened. Then a voice was heard again saying to not leave yet.
After a few minutes, some part of a rocket was seen descending. It was the booster that was going to perform a vertical landing. Its landing legs retracted and the landing boosters ignited. A sonic boom was heard and the booster safely landed as shown on the screen.
Cheers and applauses were heard from all over the area and inside the KRSA control center. Then in the screen showed the rocket's payload being released to space. It was a group of 60 small sattelites called spacenet in which would aim to establish a proper internet connection around the globe.
More cheers were heard as this was seen. Prince Edward wowed at what he saw and said to his dad:
"Dad, I want to go to space".
"We will go there son, we will" replied George.
Then George asked the others:
"Guys, how do you feel?"
But then, George hears some truck-like sound. He forgot that there was also a military parade. So, he stood properly and looked at the marching personnel and the equipment passing by.
Then the guards shouted:
"Long live the King! God Save the King! Hail to Europe!"
"Hurrah!!!"
"Hail to Inquista!"
"Hurrah!!!"
"Hail to Vayinaod!"
"Hurrah!!!"
"Hail to Mennrmiak!"
"Hurrah!!!"
"Hail to Icholasen!"
"Hurrah!!!"
"Hail to the nation!"
"Hurrah!!!"
Then cannon salutes were heard from the distance as God Save the King is played, then followed by Land of Hope and Glory. Cavalry guards ran as the anthem is played.
After the anthem, George went back to the other leaders.
"So, did you enjoy?"
-
"Yeah, it has been a great show. Congratulations for this organization, his Majesty." Juncker said. He really had to go back to Europolis, but he would stay a bit more. If the party started to look ugly, then he would leave. But, who really cares?
-
The air show was a decent enough spectacle by Henningson's standards. The Black Ravens did their job, and did it as excellent as they've done dozens of other times he has seen them.
Henningson thought the surprise launch was a bit much, some European countries namely a communist dictatorship or a trigger happy superpower might get overzealous over a sudden launch with no forewarning. Regardless an interesting enough feat by the Reitzmics.
Henningson after responding to the King's question, and stating absolute praise over the entire engagement departed the immediate gaggle around the Monarch and noticed Prime Minister Simon Bridges motioning for him.
-
As Henningson approached Simon, he introduced a man just beside him.
"Mr. Henningson, I'd like you to meet Mr. Elon Musk. He's the program director of the SpaceX program under the KRSA."
Then Elon shook hands with Henningson and started to talk.
" Mr. Henningson, I admire Vayinaod's great dream for space travel and I admire your recent space launch. Of course, Reitzmag as one of the nations with the most active space programs is very keen when it comes to space travel. And, that being said, I'd like to offer a partnership between our nations regarding space travel. We would introduce our latest space technology to Vayinaod's Space Program as a partnership between ours. So, what do you say Mr. Henningson?"
-
"Unfortunately Mr. Musk, the civilian application of space does not fall under the purview of the First Konsulate, my colleague Ninth Konsul Rakel Sorensdotter would be the person of contact in regards to those areas of interest. The VRA is in a major partnership with the FLR, the national space agency for Fremet, specifically in regards to our joint manned space program with the VRA's Thor Crewed Vehicle, and the Chariot Transport System specifically designed by Fremet for the Thor CV.
The VRA's commitments with the FLR maintain our needs for heavy launch vehicles our own capabilities don't possess. That said, the VRA and FLR have publicly stated they are willing to invite nations to allow single astronauts to ride with the Fremetian and Vardic crews on operational missions, the first of which is next month with Spanish and Inquistan astronauts assisting in the first docking attempt.
I imagine Ninth Konsul Sorensdotter won't have honestly much more to add than that. Any discussions would in earnest require our Fremetian partners in them too. That said it is not an impossibility."
-
Elon just nodded.
"I understand that Mr. Henningson, but our offer will remain there if Vayinaod had decided to accept it. The KRSA as of now is developing a manned crew module called Dragon to mount in our Falcon 9 rockets. And as of now, it is under the testing phase already. When it is finished, Reitzmag will finally be able to launch its astronauts again to our Cansey Space Station."
"Reitzmag would also be delighted if the VRA and FLR has decided to form a unified space station between our nations. I'd just want to request if you can tell this to Mr. Sorensdotter when you return to Nyetthem. And we will be hoping for a positive response."
-
Pomp and circumstance was not the Fremetian way, and Angela always found it most amusing how continental nations seemed to concern themselves so much with such wasteful bouts of immaterial posturing. As she viewed the fantastical spectacles before her, she couldn't help but think back to the recent (and rather significant) defeats of this nation. Nevertheless, we all deserve a second chance, and the Fremetian government was adamant that Reitzmag not go completely unnoticed. Angela, having done her national service requirement in the Air Force, enjoyed the sound of jet engines booming through the countryside, and regardless of her inhibitions to "fanfare", she was impressed by the spectacle.
Merkel watched closely as Mr Musk and the Vardic delegation spoke, and elbowed the Luftwaffenchef, General Gordon Hølmebakk, rather sharply in the side to signal to him what was going on (he had become rather interested in what the inside of his eyelids looked like in the latter half of the demonstrations). The three members of the Fremetian delegation stood and followed Angela to the Reitzmic Prime Minister.
Lady Merkel approached Simon and spoke, "What a marvelous turnout you have here young man, you must be quite pleased with yourself." She winked at him and gestured for the other two parts of the Fremetian contingent to join her. "Allow me to introduce General Gordon Hølmebakk, Chief of the Fremetian Air Force and Ambassador Henri Schuller, representative of Fremet here in Reitzmag."
-
Simon was surprised to have Angela Merkel approach him.
"Greetings Ms. Merkel, and also to you Gen. Hølmebakk. Its a great honor to meet you. I'd like to introduce to you Mr. Elon Musk. He is the current prgram director of the SpaceX program under the KRSA. The program is the one that mandates the use of these rockets with such capabilities."
Then Elon spoke and shook hands with the Fremetian Delegation.
"Well hello Ms. Merkel. We were just talking here about some partnership between our space programs that I'd like to offer. You see, the capabilities of our latest rockets give less expense to the KRSA for every rocket launch. And as I said to Mr. Henningson, we have been developing our own manned crew module to give transportation to Reitzmag's astronauts going to Cansey Space Station."
"I have requested already to Mr. Henningson to deliver our message to the VRA about this offer we have. And of course, we would also like the FLR to participate as much as possible. So, I hope our offer gets to your respective Space Program too."
Then King George approached them and interfered with the conversation.
"So I think its time to go to Copala City. We have a party to celebrate, and lots to drink too."
Then he looks at Angela Merkel and smiles.
"Everyone can drink there since almost every single type of liquor is there. And you would heavily enjoy there Ms. Merkel."
An aide approached them and said.
"Sire, the helicopters are ready for the flight to Copala City."
"We'll be there" said King George.
Then everyone went to the designated helicopters and went to Copala City.
In a few moments, the helicopters landed at the designated area. It was almost night time which was good for an open air party. The weather was clear and no signs of rain was seen.
-
Juncker was in the party checking the news when he got a message. His wife. She said at first she was staying at home or going on vacations to Spain to see her family, but now she was asking when he was coming back. "The party has not ended yet darling" he answered on WhatsApp. She then answered: "But comeback and come to see my parents". Juncker answered one more time: "We saw them last week". Then, the chat became silent.
He was actually enjoying the party. As far as his number 1 enemy didn't appear, all was fine. Maybe Winston was doing Balconing or was depressed after losing. Who actually knows what's going on in his crazy brain? No one. He got to the drinks table and drunk a cup of wine. It wasn't so good, but at least it was wine.
-
"Decent man I guess, a bit odd he still works with his companies so much. Regardless pretty smart, would be good for ESA director, " Henningson thought. He exchanged some pleasantries with the Fremetian delegation. General Gordon Hølmebakk and Henningson were well acquainted, aside from being the head of the Vardic konsulate for defense, Henningson and Hølmebakk had met prior for various different contracts from his company to the Fremetian Air Force.
Merkel and Henningson were on less friendly terms, but regardless as a Vard and as a Fremetian they were natural allies at a party. Yin and yang some would claim even.
Henningson enjoy some vodka while making slight small talk with the various members of the party.
-
Simon was pretty much enjoying in the party. There were no minors in the party and it was very private. Every type of liquor was there and was in fact fresh from the wine cellars of the king. He loved the mood of the party.
Then George approached him and looked if there was anyone else around them. And he said:
"Simon, are the surprises ready?" asked the king
"Yes your majesty" replied Simon.
"Very Well, I think we have to show it to them now" excitedly said the king
"That would be great your majesty!" replied Simon.
Then George gets some documents and went in front to show the surprises. But then someone arrived, it was the king's cousin William. William waved at the people in the party and spoke.
"Hello everyone" greets William.
Then William notices the Archbishop Kligenberg and Queen Anastasia and greets them. George introduces William to the others.
"Oh cousin, what a surprise bro. And I'd like to introduce to everyone my cousin. He is William. William, they are Ms. Kligenberg, Queen Anastasia, Prince Tommy, Mr. Henningson, Mr. Juncker, Ms. Merkel, Gen. Hølmebakk, Mr. Bridges, Mr. Niinistö, and Mr. Musk. They are the guests for the party here that I hosted for RASE." said George.
William sat beside Mikaela, Anastasia, and Tommy, and began to chatter with them. Meanwhile George shows the surprises to everyone.
"Ok, well what a surprise William brought to us. Anyways, so I have here some documents. And these are for my surprise gifts to everyone else here." said George then he hands something to Mr. Juncker.
"Mr. Juncker as I have been notified that the ESA has insufficient funds for its own space launch facility and I want to help on its development. We have surveyed an area near Copala City at the coast and have decided to build a space center there for free as a gift to the European Commission and/or the ESA. The space center will be called Hufton Space Center in honor of Coun. Ben Hufton who was the prinicpal author of the European Space Exploration Act." says George then he smiles at him.
"Now for Copala City and everyone else, since we are here. I'd like to introduce our plans for the development of the area. Reitzmag's contribution to this development would be the following:" introduces George then he points to the screen showing a list of the plans the government prepared for the development of Copala City.
The List showed the following:
- Stadium
- Indoor Arena
- Railway Network to connect with the National Rail
- Exhibit areas
- etc.
But there was one secret George is planing to build with the government. A building with a height of over a kilometer to be built on a desert as a centerpiece of a tech city. He let the others go with the party and gave something to everyone.
"And since I'd like everyone to remember this day, I'd like to give everyone a bottle of your choice from my collection of liquors. I hope you will choose wisely!" said George then he let everyone else continue partying.
-
PM Saulli was enjoying the party, but he was somehow alone, the kings decided to leave Reitzmag after the air show they took the Royal Plane but there was no problem for Saulli to travel on a passenger plane he likes to be with other people, and then he decided to talk with Simon but he was busy, So Saulli decided to wait and drink some wiskey and talk to others.
-
When Simon finished talking with the others, he approached Saulli. He greeted him and asked if he would like to talk with him at the side in private while looking at the nightsky. Guards were around the area which proved everything was safe.
-
Juncker, after that announcement, had the EU laws book he had to study in 2 months in his mind. What George said was illegal. It seemed like the planes crisis, who most were sold to Iberia and the others were just navigating around Europe.
"I'm afraid that's not legal William. Do you remember the 40 planes crisis? This is exactly the same. Firstly,the ESA has to give an official report prior to any launch site deals, which means that it needs to make it clear whether an official ESA launch site is regionally feasible. Secondly, the ESA budget wont account for related costs of maintaining the gifted site, which is like the planes I mentioned before. And last but not least, countries can't donate things to the EU over conflicts of interests except where otherwise allotted by EU law. Sorry for those bad news, but if you donate this you could also get in trouble and be carried to the ECoJ."
