Ji, I am interested in this as well. I'll start working on a character :)
My appologies for my sudden dissaperance. Stuff happened in real life that took my ability to access the internet away for nearly two weeks. Anyway, I'll officially drop out as stuff is far from resolved.
Aye sir :D
<Snipped quote by Flooby Badoop>
We must change that...
I agree. I am pretty sure Nehalenia and the Sawl Confederation can become great partners in Serrantia :)
<Snipped quote by Theodorable>
Well, I can at least feel good that I only have 1 PM thread (unless the "20+ different PM's is actually each individual message and not the PM threads).
Edit: By my calculations, Nehalenia has committed almost 100,000 men to its colonial holdings. That means that they have less than 80,000 troops guarding the homeland. And that is assuming that their 175,000 are all in service and do not count conscripts and that there are no other men guarding their colonial possessions besides those 100,000 men. Just a thought.
Edit2: Wow. I totally misread the Sirithi response. For some strange reason, I thought they said yes to Nehaleia. If I had acted upon those thoughts, things would have turned out badly.
What I find strange is that a nation who frequently raids its neighbors to kidnaps and enslave their people is not disliked at all :)
P.S.
My men aren't guarding my colonial posessions, they are going to expand it with your land. Muhahahaha :D
That is classified information I cannot share ;)
Port Valhal – New Nehalenia
The Nehalenian expeditionary force returned from their trip to recover the RNN Victory that had been illigaly captured by the Amazonians. The trip ended up to be non-satisfactory as the Royal Navy proved to be unable to reach a diplomatic solution and was not able to locate the ship in order to recapture it with force. The coastal raid, capture of some Amazonian women and the captured Braiyusal vesse; where only a small bandage for the wounded Nehalenian pride. When news of the lost ship and failed expedition reached the king all actors where immediately summoned to the capital for a meeting with the government in order to explain this failure.
Ostara – Capital of Nehalenia
All government officials had taken their seats in the grand meeting hall and stared at the same two men who stood lower then the rest. Today the Nehalenian government was going to question Admiral Gorthan and WSC board member Argibald Duvail about the loss of the RNN Victory.
Justin Valor, minister of the navy was enraged. “How in the lords name did the WSC manage to lose a first rate ship to a bunch of undeveloped savages. That is simply unacceptable! That For this utter failure alone some heads should roll! Who was the appointed captain mister Duvail?”
Mr duvail awnserd calmly “Percy Duvail, my son. He was a graduate from the naval academy without prior real-life experience. I used my influence as a board member to place him on a high spot. As a father I overestimated my sons abilities as a captain. A great misjudgment with a desasterous outcome. I accept the punishment the government sees fit.”
All the government officials where silent as Duvail admitted his own failure and actions. Everybody expected it to be a long talk. It was king George Therus III himself who broke the silence. “ Argibald Duvail is hereby expelled from the board of the Western Sides Company. Furthermore he will stand trial in the Nehalenian court for corruption and abuse of his powers. Now we move on to why the expedition failed to retrieve the ship. Care to explain why you could not come to a diplomatic conclusion Admiral Gorthan?”
The Admiral stepped forward with his back straight. Ready to deliver his plea on the situation. “The expedition was hastily assembled. Some of the ships where still undergoing repairs in Port Valhal when the order was given to set sail. Once the order was given there was not much room for preparation. In my opinion the expedition was poorly prepared. Also the Amazonians proved to be hard to impress, They refused any form of a diplomatic solution. They even took the diplomatic party hostage and tried to use their lives as a bargain to keep the ship. At that moment it was clear that they would not give in to our demands. This might be because Braiyusal is supplying them with firearms and cannons.”
The king wasn't surprised that Braiyusal was trying to disrupt Nehalenian plans for the new world. They where still disgruntled over their loss of the war. However the Nehalenian influence in the old world is being challenged by many severely limiting the options in foreign policy. “Admiral Gorthan, what kind of force do you think is nessecary to subdue the Amazonians?”
The Admiral was a bit surprised by this question. “The Amazonian navy is closely to non-existent. However their land forces appear to be numerous. Some say they command an army of 75.000av warriors, other say they have hundreds of thousands of fighting men at their exposal. I believe we will need at least 65.000 men in order to achieve a total victory over the Queendom of Amazonia.”
The king nodded. “I allow you a change to redeem yourself Gorthan. You will assist in drawing up the invasion plans and execute the naval operations against. On the topic of Braiyusal, just trade is not enough of a casus belli to justify war. We'll send their government a strong message to stay out of our business.”
Foreign minister Herald Omen took the word. “The greatest challenges we face in the old world is that we increasingly stand alone while other powers increasingly seek coorperation on many levels. We can no longer afford to sail an independent course as the combined might of our neighbors rival our own. We should make haste of increasing our relations with our neighbors and beyond.”
The whole government agreed on that point. For most of the 18th century Nehalenia was the leading power due to its aggressive colonial expansion and the wealth that brought. Neighboring nations however had developed rapidly and closed the gaps in influence.
Mordred Daltry, chairman of the Serranthian trading Company asked for everyone's attention. “My king and ministers, we've recently received this alarming message from a far away tribe in Serrantia.” The STC chairman read the message in front of the entire government.
From the Mikassian tribes:
Burning tree, this message comes as you are at our doorstep. We would speak with you, refuse and blood shall be shed. Chatan, War chief, Mikassian Tribes.
For a moment the chairman paused before he continued to speak. “We believe this Mikassian tribe is located at the other side of the Bay of Cavalle. We do not know much about this civilization but we consider this a serious treat to the Nehalenian interest in the region. The STC urges the government to re-enforce the military presence in the region with a significant naval detachment and a strong fighting force.”
With this message the prospect of war loomed on two fronts far away from home. A situation that is not very favorable but hard to avoid.
The Nehalenian Armada sets sail
Over the past weeks the Nehalenian high command has been planning a full scale invasion of the Queendom of Amazonia. Hundreds of transport and merchant ships have been gathered to ferry a massive invasion force of 65.000 men, equipment and supplies across the sea to the distant land of the new world. This massive transport fleet is escorted by 10 3th rates, 8 second rates and 3 first rate ship of the lines.
As the first light shines upon the ports of Nehalenia the womenfolk wave their men goodbye. The red flag with the golden tree shines high above the ships as they unfold their white sails. It was a spectacular sight to see so many ships leave the ports and form an orderly fleet. The spirits where high all across Nehalenia and everybody was expecting a quick victory over these savages in the Western Sides.
At the same time a second fleet was assembled in the Western Sides colonies of Nehalenia. This fleet consists of all the ships involved in the previous expedition but was now re-enforced with additional transport capacity. The second fleet is carrying an additional 10.000 soldiers from the Nehalenian colonies into the direction of the Queendom of Amazonia.
Serrantia Trading Corporation announcement.
In the light of the recent contact with the Mikassian Tribes we will re-enforce our military presence in Serrantia with 24.000 soldiers, 5 third rates, 3 second rates and a first rate ship of the line.
