With the war being declared upon the Middle Eastern states by the Aldoranians, it brought about major uproar within the Vornehm government considering the aggressiveness of those people and that they were jeopardizing Vornehm business interests. The war was simply one that the Vornehm people could not ignore, finding that the size of Aldoran mattered not if they would attack another nation with such an outrageous reason of ‘We need Oil’. 

Two hours passed since the people of Vornehm convened once more to begin strategizing and debating on whether they would get involved within this war or not, the Emperor has come to give a speech worldwide. 

“These are troubling times, only one year has passed since the last Great War and the Aldoran dogs have already gone to declare war upon all of Middle East in the name of gaining more strategic resources. I say, Aldoran is large enough! They already control large sums of land such as Old China, Mongolia, and Korea. The leader of Aldoran fails to acknowledge their own aggressive expansion, he fails to understand that the world shall take notice to his actions, and he fails to realize that the world can see that his weak claim on the Middle East. He shall find that we shall not sit idly by as he goes and conquers those he does not have proper claims on.

How can we stand as people, fellow humans, if we were to allow this crude mistreatment of others? This is why I am going to state that we are cutting any and all diplomatic ties with the Aldoran nation until this war is ended. Additionally, we insist that other nations follow in what we shall do. This international matter can not simply go unacknowledged. Thank you for your time.”

Behind the scenes matters were being dealt with such as the arrangement of ten thousand rifleman to be sent abroad to aid the Middle Eastern states as well as sending supplies to the area. Ten submarines were already inbound to begin intercepting Andolan transports and sink them, preventing reinforcement for a short time. Meanwhile, the rest of the navy geared up and got their equipment checked, pending on orders from the Vornehm command chain as to what would be the proper course of action within the war. 

The Empress, herself, was making arrangements to meet with the English government in an attempt to improve diplomatic relations among other things. She knew the English were sensible people, knowing they would listen to reason. The English, as well, were the closest neighbor to the Vornehm islands and their borders needed to be secured.
