I suppose by now you have heard what has happened, suffice to say things will be getting rather ugly in the NCR in the next few weeks. There is going to be a lot of house cleaning and a lot of changes - by that point, I have to ask a favor from you President Harris," spoke Shu, as the conductor called that they would be arriving in Shady Sands in the next ten minutes. “Yes it was just announced, and I’m aware of the situation your forces are in, Harris replied. "Namely - before he died President Kimball deployed several units along your border. Now with the declaration from Mr. House and Vegas - we are unable to get them out of there, without leaving several tons of equipment for looters and other bandits to get," spoke Shu, his voice sounding rather tired. It reminded Harris of his own weariness. "I am asking, if it is possible - for the Texas Confederation to temporarily occupy our base-camp and provide our soldiers the opportunity to spend their mandatory leave there?" asked General Shu. Harris had been expecting something like this might happen when the reports had come in the night before of the situation in New Mexico. “Yes I think we can accommodate them.” "I know this might be asking a lot - but at this moment, I fear that the New California Republic is at its lowest in recorded history-" Shu said, soon several protesters could be heard. All of them shouting 'down with NCR'. Dark times indeed. Harris felt uneasy for citizens to be protesting such radical action "-not to mention, it looks like people are a few days away from rioting against the Government." "I know, this is might seem much. But your the only other nation I'd trust with military equipment...or at least the only other democratic state in the entire American wasteland that has the right of protest and open discussions," he finished. "So do we have a deal?" “Of course, General Shu. Your men can proceed to Fort Bliss, where I guarantee they will be given good accomodations. These are dark times for democratic states. Many men here at this convention arrogantly spit on our ideals, but we must endure for our people. I wish you good luck with your government. Speak to our embassy, or call me again if you need any more assistance from Texas.”
