Minoriten Platz, Innere Stadt, Vienna,

The Austrian foreign affairs department hosted the HME delegation, alongside, several entourages from Germany, Turkey and Bulgaria, initially they planned to host them in Berlin or Constantinople, but was rescinded in favor of Vienna, currently they showed several films, all the way of the history of the four nations, fall of Constantinople, Crusades, the Teutons, Bulgarian war of independence, Prussia, Austria Franco-Prussian war, Austro-Hungarian compromise of 1867 , WW1 and others, via movies and booklets, to educate the Mirishial delegation on their old history.

with mostly seeing German-Austrian oriented films, explaining topography, geography, and showing key battles, the Holy Roman empire, even the brothers war, it shocked the Milishial delegation, that the central powers are actually comprised of old enemies turned friends, WW1 shocked them, as despite this bloody, both sides hadn't achieved much, Exceptions for France, they regained Alsace-Lorraine, in exchange of some colonial possessions, though, not all of it, some parts like Saarland, remained with Germany, who unfortunately sent Lenin to Russia mere months prior who already overthrew the Imperial Romanovs, whose youngest son and daughters, sneaking into Arkhangelsk , before being evacuated by an British cruiser, though their parents died, and British and Germans both got what they wanted, and signed an non aggression pact, among others.

Since the HME was undoubtedly the 'strongest power' in the new world, the diplomats of the central powers were quite happy to meet them,  after eradicating Parlpadia, Germany and Austria decided showing any sort of weakness to the HME, might lead them to take advantage of them, not understanding their crisis, repeating the Nishinomiyako tragedy, all over again, The Ottomans and Bulgarians took an more active role of diplomacy, the Ottomans emerged after an religious crisis, as every region except Palestine (Israel) had transported to the new world, though Mu suggested that, due to hectic nature of transportation, some regions might be 'left behind' , and took an lot of effort to calm the Arabs, the Bulgarians had an constitutional crisis, though an shortlived one and emerged out of it pretty quick, and both decided not to isolate or be 'neutral' in the politics of the new world'.

The entire delegation from the HME, was quite enthralled, then, the German representative's aide rose up and began to talk.,

"Greetings to the Mirishial delegation, for making the arduous journey to Vienna I am Johann, the Austrian diplomat , I am with the Imperial foreign affairs, they are the representatives of the other members of the central powers, as already briefed, today and tomorrow shall be set aside for cultural exchange, first, we'll take you to our capital, Vienna to sightseeing, but , before that, we would like to celebrate the newly formed relationship between our 5 nations, with an hearty meal, please, take time to relax and enjoy yourselves" said Johann

Once Johann briefed them, the delegation was taken to an dining hall, with various assortment of cuisines, back from earth, Rydorka, began to strike upon an conversation with Phiam, who sat beside him,

"Hmmm.. this 'Turkish Kebab' and 'Viennese cutlet' is quite tasty, Phiam, ain't it? what do you think of the film we saw earlier, I mean, I struggle to contain my excitement after seeing it, they might have truly mastered the art of war, don't even get me started on this 'World War 1'" said Rydorka

"Yes, this shows the central powers really done well for themselves, I am honestly surprised on how much  technology they had, as they are only exclusively based on science, even Mu can't come this far, though, they are not disclosing their information on magical powers, they make quite hard for estimating their national power" said Phiam

"Indeed, if they don't use magic, we can't be certain on their level of magic, what are your thoughts, Arpana?"

"Indeed, if such an nation had powerful enemies, on the same technological level, unlike this world, their world has an uniform level of technology, quite astonishing, though their military seems to be on par with Mu, they can't pose an major threat( are you blind dumbass? didn't you see their jets you dumb fuck!) " said Arpana,  as they continued to talk, the Bulgarian envoy, Vladimir, walked up to them
