The Red Bear Is in Nihonkoku Shoukan

The World awaits the Red Bear

'Russia, A Nation, who with nothing forged a National identity that makes Men of Petty delusions of world conquest shake their boots, can they be any Doubts, That Russia Is and will always be a World Power? If one Judges by the historic life of Russia, One can See that the Narrative of Russia is simple: To be The Grey Knight of the world, To Fight against the Black Knight and to Align ourselves with the White Knight if needed ''-Vasily, 1950, Proclamation of the Moscow Pact

Moscow Grand Hotel, Russian Union, March 19th 1640

The Russian Ministry of Foreign affairs was hosting the delegation from the Holy Mirishial Empire, holding a kind of cultural exchange session prior to starting diplomatic negotiations. Currently, they were being shown a DVD giving an overview of Russia.

The video covered a wide range of topics including nature, Russian culture and other Ethnic groups Cultures, construction technology and many other topics. Basically, they were being inundated with innocuous information. Anything about the military was put off for later in order to minimize the risk of leaking defense technology or information.However, a Movie about the Battle of Stalingrad was allowed as it showed only weapons they saw as too old to change the balance of power.

No matter which country was asked, the answer to the question "who's the strongest in the world?" was always "the Holy Mirishial Empire," so Russia was quite happy to receive Mirishial's envoys. After the war with the Papaldia Empire was over, internal research concluded that they had to show the world they were not to be messed with, and it worked well for them. Therefore, they decided to make this video to subtly hint at Russia's technological advancement and national power; they wanted to avoid giving off an impression of weakness, at least.

And it worked, for the HME delegates already viewed Russia as a force of nature, but this just send them home.The entire delegation was enthralled by the video. Finally, once it was over, the staff from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched into an introductory speech.They all spoke with moderate Accents, After all, Japanese was very hard to learn for them at such an age.

"Greetings to the envoys from the Holy Mirishial Empire. Thank you for making the long journey to visit our Great Motherland of Russia. My name is Konstantine and I am with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As we explained in advance, today and tomorrow are set aside for cultural exchange; we would be happy if everyone here could learn just a little bit more about the Motherland. Today, we will be sightseeing Moscow. But first, we would like to celebrate the newly-formed relationship between our two countries with a meal. We have set aside two hours for this meal, after which we will make our way around the city in the Limousine and maybe go see the Ballet, so please, take time to relax and enjoy yourselves." Konstantine spoke with a heavy accent

Once the speech was over, an assortment of food was served to each table. After trying out some of the food, Information Officer Rydorka turned and struck up a conversation with the diplomat Phiam, sitting beside him.

"Ooh, this is delicious, Especially this soup!... Mister Phiam, what did you think of the recording from earlier? I could barely contain my excitement after seeing such outrageous technology! If everything they showed us was true, for example their 'bullet train' that runs on iron roads, then, if we compare to our own bullet train... they can travel much faster than what we have planned for our future high-speed transportation vehicle. They say their train runs commercially throughout the entire country and they've improved it to the point that they've claim that it had less than 6 accidents for the last 50 years, a amazing safety record. It would be astonishing if true." Rydorka said as he drank his soup

"Yes...... Yes, it would be. Russia seems to have done quite well for itself. I am honestly moved that a culture devoted entirely to science could advance this far. However, considering that they completely excluded any information about their level of magic, it's going to be very difficult to estimate how much national power they have."
