[i][b]Cynghyrd of Foreign Affairs Writes to Chairman Lan At-zen; Tymhoris 10, 1910 (Tues 11 Jan, 1910)[/b][/i]

[indent]It is my pleasure, Chairman, to greet you on behalf of the Sdarid clans and people, extending our warmest greetings and kindest regards to the proud and stalwart people of the United Democratic Changxa. Our previous communications have been of an altogether friendly nature, and respect for your Government's isolationist policy has been our foremost priority in our engagement with you. We intend for that to remain the case, that mutual respect and friendship may define our relationship in perpetuity. It has, however, become increasingly apparent of late that war lies on the horizon between the continental powers and their allies. Small nations such as ours, though boasting willing and loyal peoples, cannot hope to stand alone against the coming storm. Only a united front can hope to dissuade the continential powers from picking us off one by one for the sake of their aggrandisement and the destruction of their foes.

And so to the purpose of this communique: I write, Chairman, offering friendship between our nations, trade, and alliance. Sidara offers the UDC arms and ordnance, it offers military training, financial and economic aid, it offers support in industrial development, it offers naval protection and the development of the UDC's naval power, and it offers - above all else - respect for the independence and sovereignty of the UDC and tenacity in the defence of those ideals. The people-governed nation of Sidara has chosen to take its fate into its own hands in defiance of the will of greater powers - it would be our honour and privilige to welcome the United Democratic Changxa into a pact. As a show of our goodwill and committment to the mutual security of our peoples, Her Grace has permitted me to despatch a flotilla carrying six [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_cm_K_L/40_%22Kurf%C3%BCrst%22]11.1-inch [i]Fioch[/i] Railguns[/url] along with fifty [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_QF_18-pounder#Mk_IV_Gun_on_Mk_III_&_Mk_IV_Carriage]3.3-inch [i]Straechailt[/i] Guns[/url]. Anticipate their arrival for the 25th day of this our month of Tymhoris.[/indent]
