[quote=@Aceofreality] "What may these proposals be?" the Ambassador asked, leaning a bit forward in curiosity. _ One of the ships was rammed and another was badly damaged but made it out fine enough, though they will probably sink sooner or later. The various people on the deck of the ship try to board the VNMS Trionator while shooting at anyone they saw there. Chances are these people got shot too though they did whatever damage they could. The ship was completely a wreck in the water a few seconds later and all hands were lost. The other ships barely managed to get out of the way and they slowly redirected course. As they redirected course more muskets and flaming spiked cannon balls were shot at the VNMS Trionator. [/quote] The Ambassador of Veilletes Republic had pulled his documents containing the proposals and presidential degrees for the Federation. "The proposals of premises to the Veilletes Republic were unconscionably stated as follows: First proposal, opening ports and sea for our merchants to get through the strait, and the establishments of Veilletes Shops and Markets at your coastal cities. In return of accepting this proposal will not only granted access to our wares, but also granted permission to set afoot at the Veilletes home ports (e.g Erksterm) and thus so your people can start a business there with a minor foreign control. Second proposal, the requisition on claiming some island pieces within a strait for setting up a Veilletes trading ports by under our rules of governing. Here is the bastion demand of the Veilletes Republic as the map crossed for a future compensation: [img]https://i.imgur.com/18bhDAF.png[/img] Third and a last proposal, the insertion of Veilletes Resident General at your government body. His/her duties within your government is to become an advisory, and the representative figure of the Veilletes Republic as to reduce the time needed for communication inbetween two distant nations. He/She is also responsible for overseeing the progress of modernization to your country, but at a cost of limiting your power on foreign relations with other nations/factions if you've accepted this proposal." said the Veilletes Ambassador. --- The only thing that the Yahupi soldiers can only harmed the VNMS Trionator was their sailors roaming around the ship. Not their best moments of combat nor the Veilletes sailors at the VNMS Trionator, both were on a stiff close-ranged combat between a manned automatic cannons, sailors with rifles vs the Yahupi muskets ravaging all over the ship. Unfortunately for the Yahupi soldiers boarded at the VNMS Trionator, many of them were killed by those said weapons and even worst, they're highly disorganized when attempting to fight against a ship that can carry up between 1200-2000 crewmen onboard, and half of them are complemented with a basic self-defense weapon (e.g rifle) to ward off incoming boarders. After with some bloodshed, the VNMS Trionator had lost a few numbers of their crew, around 80 men died to a Yahupi boarding raid. But with a swift ramming by the VNMS Trionator has managed to escape from the Yahupi infested strait and now on their venture way back to the colonial state from the north.
