Kingdom of Fenn, May 30th 1639

"So, that is Russia's warships... It almost look like castles." Sword King Shihan uttered to himself, unintentionally voicing his inner thoughts. "How ludicrous, even considering the information we received before from Gahara, for a metal ship this big to float..."

Knight-Captain Magreb agreed, "I've been to the Papaldia Empire numerous times and I've never seen any ships as large as that one."

Floating before them were the RS Liver from the Red Fleet's newly made Baltic-central flotilla.

"My king, Russia's ship should begin attacking our decommissioned ships any minute now."

At the Sword King's personal request, Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs had begged, "We want to show our strength to them." This was the Red Fleet's answer. In addition to the Lider, Fenn's four decommissioned ships were also there, set adrift to be targets. They were about 8 km away from the Russians. Sword King Shihan was watching the exercise through a telescope. The attack would be executed by a kind of boat called a "guided missile destroyer," it seemed.

He saw smoke rise from the Russian ship, then he heard the booms a moment later. BOOM... BOOM... BOOM... BOOM... Four shots. Immediately afterwards, the target ships were rocked by fierce explosions, and spray and debris shot up into the air. All four targets had been blown up and sunk.

"...... This... I'm speechless... How puissant...The...Distance"

The Sword King's staff who formed the backbone of the Kingdom of Fenn could only stare in amazement at the power that completely upended their previously-held concepts of war. One ship easily sank four other ships. Furthermore, it fired that many shots in a row, with no lag. Even in the superpower Papaldia, it was likely that no one could determine how this was possible.

"As soon as possible, resume negotiations regarding diplomatic relations with Russia. A non-aggression treaty goes without saying, but, if possible, a security treaty as well," declared the Sword King, smiling.

As he said that, The Russian Diplomat, Nicholas walked to him, With him was a Huge Grin.

''How did you enjoy the Show of force?'' He asked while giving his respects.

''It was Speculator,tell me, How may we get this as well?'' Asked Sword King Shihan

''Simple, Join the Socterm and adopt your own form of democratic socialism'' Nicholas said ''We won't force you to choose, but i suggest you try Japanese Socialism, It keeps you, The King with Much Power while still having the Parliament follow Socialism''

Sword King Shihan Laugh at this, he was happy that this would provide the Kingdom with such powerful weaponry, Despite the reality of being weapons from the 1950's it would still be above most of the world.

Communication room of the Lider

The guided missile destroyer Lider noticed something on its radar: numerous flying objects coming from the west. Their speed was about 350 km/h, and there were 20 of them in close formation. They informed command.

"There's a country west of here, right? The Papaldia Empire?"

"Yes, sir."

"Were they invited to Fenn's Military Festival?"

"I think they were, but... let me check, just in case."

The flying objects arrived in the air above the Kingdom of Fenn, but the Lider had still not received a reply.

''I Don't like this, Prepare for Anti air combat just in case, You May never know'' The Captain said

As the Destroyer prepared to Enact Anti-Air, The whole Ship looked busy as bees.
