The Great Eastern War Begins

'Lenin distinguished between two kinds of wars—predatory, and therefore, unjust wars, and wars of liberation—just wars. In Fighting Just Wars, one must demand the highest honor of no surrender' -Vasily 1941, November 5th, National Unity day

Papaldia Empire, Esthirant, 1st foreign affairs department, November 18th

3rd department head Kyeos had been called over to the 1st department. While the departments did sometimes exchange personnel since they were publicly part of the same governmental organ, it was normally out of the question for a department head to be summoned to another department. However, because the 1sts department carried an order from the emperor this time, Kyeos was obligated to show up.

The meeting would take place in the department head's office. Kyeos was currently standing in front of the door. No matter how many times he saw that gaudily-ornamented, heavy door, he always hated it. This should have been my room... as he stood there, those kinds of thoughts crossed his mind.

Clack.

An employee of the 1st department opened the door and led him in. Inside the room, he saw 1st Department Head Elto, Deputy Head Hans, Chief of Sub-Superpower Countries Shiran, and there was also a beautiful woman in her late-twenties sitting by herself.

Kyeos bowed to each person in turn. "By His Grace the Emperor Ludius's command, I am here at the 1st department to respond to your summons... How may I be of service?"

''Kyeos? Nice to meet you, I'm Remille, from the Foreign Affairs Auditing Office." The Woman spoke in a Neutral Tone.

The Foreign Affairs Auditing Office was established to deal with internal iniquities and cases of deteriorating relations with other countries. When departments were audited in the past, sometimes it resulted in the person leading the department being removed and sometimes some diplomatic duties were taken over by another department. To avoid questions of status, since the foreign affairs departments were comprised of elites, the auditing office was staffed by members of the imperial family. In other words, the woman before him was royalty. Kyeos lowered his head before Remille.

''Oh? If I'm so bold to ask why are you here?'' Kyeos asked even-temperedly.

''Well you see, I've read your...Meeting with this Russian Union, While you dd nothing wrong, It seems that you have not be informed'' Remille said as she took out a Letter ''You see the Emperor has issued a order to Invade Lauria, Which is under Russian Influence, Meaning a state of war will soon exist with us, As such, You will no longer be in charge of Russia''

Kyeos felt sweat beading on his brow. Remille continued speaking.

"I will temporarily leave the Foreign Affairs Auditing Office and join the 1st Foreign Affairs Department, and take over as the diplomat in charge of all issues concerning the country of Russia. We will submit our demands for Lauria to them, Should they refuse, then our land will grow with Russia as a Colony.Kyeos...You will Be placed as Either head of their Surrender or Not, Ludius has not told me of the arrangement, We will make them bend to us'' she said with vigor

''How? Words don't work all the time Miss Remille'' Kyeos said as he handed the letter to his aide.

''True, True,  But we have something great that happen to us, For a Ship carrying 3000 Russians was found by our War Fleet, it is in Port some hundreds of Km From here, if they refuse, we will kill about 1000 of them, that we make them bend to us'' Remille said

Kyeos was silent but understood the wording, Russia would be placed in a tight spot.

"Yes... I will comply with your decision." Kyeos said
