Their cities were on fire over the death of their prime minister. But, in all honestly, Xue didn't have a strong opinion of the Canadian government. So, a simple statement calling for peace and order throughout the lands was written up. And that was that. Or so the State Council believed. A well-dressed soldier approached Xue and whispered something that caught him off-guard. "Hawthorne Army Depot has been destroyed by a revolutionary terror group based in the Americas. Their demands have been published shortly after the attack." Chairman Xue examined the piece of paper handed to him as the State Councilors stared in silence. And then, he turned to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and ordered him. "Xieren, get in contact with Premier Kosygin and request a personal meeting on my behalf. But before that, issue a statement condemning the attack and terror group. We need to be ready for the likelihood of being accused." Tao Xieren nodded and left the room to get started. Then, the Chairman turned to the Minister of National Defense. "Have the military be on high alert and begin conducting emergency-response drills. Ensure that we are in consent communication with our allies and offer supplies and reinforcements. And ensure that the East Sea Fleet is prepared for conflict." "What about Taiwan? Should we increase the pressure against the resistance movement on the region?" Cai Hu asked. "Not until they give us a reason." Chairman Xue responded and then stood up. "And if that is all, I have to leave early to get ready for our guest of honor. May there be prosperity at the end of these dark days."[/color][/indent][/indent] [hr][/indent] [indent][indent][indent][color=FFF089][b]Foreign Ministry Tao Xieren's Remarks on Recent Events in North America[/b] [indent][i]"China clearly condemns both the bombing of Hawthorne Army Depot and the murder of Canadian Prime Minister Pelletier. We hope that those responsible are bought to justice for their crimes through the legal system. Chairman Xue expresses sympathy to the victims and plans on calling the American President within the week. While we've criticized the American takeover of Canada in the past, China had hoped that independence would've been secured through peace and non-violence. And while we hope that peace returns with assistance from OTAN forces, China is worried that the countries in the alliance, specifically France, will use the opportunity to showcase their military might. Chairman Xue is hopeful that OTAN forces will leave Canadian soil once peace has returned. But, he is rightfully concerned that Canada will be forced to be a pawn for an eroding military alliance."[/i][/indent][/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [hr]
