El Tercer Imperio Mexicano

Mexican Bureau of Foreign Affairs

On behalf of the Mexican Nation, I, Isabella Ramirez, announce that our nation and the United South Asian Empire shall be attending the peace conferences in Germany. We currently have a diplomat on his way to the conference as we speak, and he will arrive shortly. From that point the decision shall be reached on the future of the war. I have met as well with the South Asian diplomat and negotiated their terms and synthesized our two ideals together. By the grace of God, we will end this conflict and restore the basic ideal of human rights to the Caliphate of Istanbul.

----- Isabella Ramirez, Head of the Mexican Bureau of Foreign Affairs. Gloria a Don Salazar y La Eglesia Christiana

Isabella looked back with happiness at the idea of true peace talks. She knew that Don Salazar would not approve of such actions, but he was not in the country right now, and if they could save the lives of not only their own soldiers but of their allies and even their enemies. Isabella was not much of a warmonger, a stark contrast to her mentor and predecessor. She wondered how he was doing, if he had arrived in Ethiopia right now. But that was nothing but idle thought, and she shouldn't worry about such things; her life was going as perfectly as possible, and she should think happily. Perhaps some television will clear her mind. She turned it on, as usual it was already tuned to a local news channel, but what Isabella saw horrified her deeply.

The reporters were in The United States of Africa, showing the shredded wreckage that was hauled onto the shoreline. It was easily recognizable as the pieces of Don Salazar's personal jet. As she listened the story began to unfold as to what had happened. It was reported that at 16:00, Don Salazar's plane began to go off course, and suddenly was plunged into the Atlantic Ocean about 60 Miles from the coast of the USA. Upon investigation it was found that the Don's plane was not being piloted by his usual pilot, but by a stand in pilot. The man was named Muhammad Xuluc, a member of the predominantly muslim Tzotzil Maya, an indigenous ethnic group found almost exclusively in the country's Guatemala Province, itself a plurality Orthodox region. Xuluc was found in his background checks to have no official connection to the Caliphate of Istanbul, but was very much attracted to their ideology and felt that he must support them. The Tzotzil Maya community has begun a fierce condemnation of his actions, and seems to be completely with the country in this event. The Tzotzils have also condemned the Caliphate for radicalizing this man with their, in their own words, "cancerous distortions of Islam".

That was all that had to be said by the news before Isabella simply shut off the television set. She could not deal with this right now. She had to return home to not only grieve in her own right, but to console her no doubt devestated husband.

Strait of Gilbraltar, Atlantic Ocean

"Greeks ahead, sir!" one of the naval soliders proclaimed as the greek fleet was spotted just before the strait. The Admiral smiled as they slowed down and stopped once the Greek fleet had approached them and demanded their stop. "This is it, men. From this point on we just wait and relax."

The admiral made an announcement to the Greeks,
"For what reason have you stopped us?"

Strait of Malacca, PRFA

All appeared to be going to plan. The ride had been smooth and no one had bothered to interfere with the advance of the Mexican and UTA fleet. That feeling, however, was to be short lived.

"Sir! The Chinese have alerted us to the presence of a Soviet Fleet headed in our direction!"

The Admiral cursed as he heard the news, "Well what do they want!"

"I don't know but I feel we will find out soon. At the rate they are approaching we will not be able to outspeed them before we reach Sri Lanka to refuel."

The Admiral thought and thought and finally came to a decision. "Get the True Asians on the phone, tell them to deter those Soviets however they can. But do not attack, for the love of God, Do not Attack them, but just keep them away from us"

"Understood, sir, I will deliver the message right away" the soldier said as her relayed the same message to the Chinese.

College of Cardinals, Vatican City
Alfonso Huerta, Cardinal of Mexico, stood before the College to make a humble request. "Dear brothers in Christ, I stand before you on this most tragic of days to offer my services to fulfill the duties of our beloved Holy Father while he recovers from the horrific attack on his life." Huerta was an older man, one who lived though the expansion of the Mexican Empire, and though he would never be allowed to say it, in many ways detested the militaristic ways that Simon Salazar had brought to his country. Once he was free to speak in the GEC he was much more open about that among his colleagues. Now he was compelled to step in on behalf of the college and take up the papal responsibilities until the Pope, god willing, was healthy again.

He could only hope they would comply.

I'll be attending as well on behalf of Mexico and South Asia since Raja is not able to attend the peace conferences due to RL issues so I'll be acting on his behalf. (We know each other in Real Life, so he told me this face to face)

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>

Well, the Caliphate seems like a Theocracy, the leader dies then the other religious leaders elect a new caliph. That is kind of a democracy, but not really.

@MetalLover

Its more of an Oligarchic Theocracy than any kind of democracy

El Tercer Imperio Mexicano

Cathedral of Guatemala City, Guatemala Province

The sound of bells filled the air as a grand procession of people made their way into the Cathedral. Today was a happy day, one marking the grand event that was transpiring on this day. Inside the beautiful Cathedral was none other than Don Salazar himself, dressed in his finest clothing, standing with an array of others before the altar. But today was not about him. It was far from that, because just now, was coming the woman of the day.

Today was the day of Isabella Ramirez's, the Bureau Head of Foreign Affairs, wedding. To none other than Don Salazar's son, Fernando. The couple would be wed in a very beautiful, and very catholic wedding. Once Miss Ramirez was standing before the altar with her future husband, the priest made his opening prayer.

Father,
when you created mankind
you willed that man and wife should be one.
Bind Fernando and Isabella
in the loving union of marriage;
and make their love fruitful
so that they may be living witnesses
to your divine love in the world.

We ask you this
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

The wedding would commence as normal, with the usual singing and variety of prayers. All the while the people of Mexico were, in this one moment, no longer worrying about the troubles lying ahead of them, for in this moment all that mattered was the beautiful ceremony and the happy couple before them. The rings were exchanged, and the couple recited their vows, and the ending of the wedding came much to soon for everyone involved. And yet, in this moment they all felt a little bit better.

After the Wedding

"It just seems like yesterday that you were still that disgruntled teenager studying political science" Don Salazar said, laughing while exchanging memories with his long time associate. Isabella laughed back in turn.

"I was, what, 19 at the time, it was back in 2031, the war had just broken out and I was just so pissed with the Feds. I think I was just meant to fall in with the People's Alliance." she replied, smiling as she took a sip from her cup.

"Haha, I even remember when the Party meetings were still being done in my house and there were you, this little thing furiously debating with grown men over fascism and the best course of action." Don Salazar pointed to his son and chuckled as well, "And I remember after Fernando over there saw you for the first time and went up to talk to you. You must have still been heated up because I swear I've never seen the boy that flustered after talking to any girl."

Don Salazar then seemed to get quiet very fast, and then in a serious voice, he spoke once more to Isabella. "You see, Isabella, from the moment you joined our little party I knew you were destined for great things. And now, as I have seen your behavior in the face of the Caliphate War, I feel that I am making the right decision with this." Salazar then took one last sip of his drink before speaking again. "Isabella, I am giving an address to the public tomorrow before I leave for Ethiopia to attend Zakariah Abraham Zaile's funeral. And in that meeting, I am going to announce my successor. I am an old man, and I may not have much time left in this world before God decides I must die. And so, I want you to know that I am appointing you as my Successor."

Isabella was totally speechless

"That is, if you will accept it" Don Salazar proposed

"Of...Of Course Don Salazar"

The Emperor smiled at his new Daughter in Law, for long she had been like the Daughter he never had and now, though the Grace of God she had wed into his family. "May you and Fernando guide Mexico rightly when my time has come. And let God be forever with you both. Gloria al Nuevo Don Salazar y Donna Ramirez"

La Aurora International Airport
"People of the Glorious Nation of Mexico," Don Salazar was standing before a crowd of people, reporters, and just those who had wandered into the airport at the right time. "Today I leave for Ethiopia to mourn the death of a true servant of God, a man who I can only hope to spend an entire lifetime to become even a fraction as pious, Zakariah Abraham Zaile. I once again give my condolences to the Zaile Family, and may Zakariah be at peace with the Lord. The untimely death of Mr. Zaile had got me thinking about my own life, and who will follow after me once I am dead. Before I leave for Africa, I would like to make an announcement. I, Don Simon Salazar, am going to announce my successor. It was a long and difficult decision, but I am officially naming Mrs. Isabella Ramirez as my successor should my life come to an end."

As Don Salazar boarded the plane to Addis Ababa, he felt content, for the first time in a long while. He was very confident that Isabella and Fernando would be successful as leaders of the country. And who knows, perhaps they could even be better than him.

To The Ethiopian Empire

I have departed for Addis Ababa today, and hope to meet with you and the other guests soon. I would specifically like to talk to you, I as Defender of the Catholic Faith and you as Leader of the Orthodox Church, about the necessity of our nations even dividing ourselves into sects. You are completely correct that our people need not be rivals. We are Christians, and we should be united against our enemies, not against each other. Perhaps even, we could end the Schism that has divided us, and unite the Church as one, as it should be, and as God and Jesus Christ would want it

I would also like to thank you for allowing us to dock in Somalia. Our fleets will benefit significantly and significantly improve our chances of liberating the Holy Land and crushing the Caliphate. I would personally like to invite you, blessed servant of God Fasilides, to re sanctify The Church of the Holy Sepulchre once we take back Jerusalem.

Until we meet, and may God always be with you,
Don Simon Salazar

Fair enough. I guess no need for a navy when you're landlocked.
