February, 1905
February 14th
The Military Procurement Bureau (MPB) of the Kingdom of Cadia receives four Forino 4hp motors, purchased from Forino Estadi Automobili in the Holy Empire of Vigentino. These are the first motors purchased from F.E.A. in the world, and the engineers of the Cadian Royal Army begin getting to work on reverse engineering the engine, tearing it apart and working toward understanding it. The engineers responsible are assisted by locomotive engineers of All Cadia Transport. These men were not the most suited to the job,  but rather the only ones suited to the job. Engineers would need several months to come up with their own working prototype.

Mild-mannered negotiations between the Raul Ferraira and Clement Droulez of the Republic of Sessau were fanciful and dealt more with the weather and skiiing (Ferraira was a skiing enthusiast and Droulez a world renowned master of the slopes). At the end of a wintry February afternoon, the Toubrés Empire and Republic of Sessau signed a Defensive Military Alliance to last 5 years, with an opportunity to be renewed.

Article I. The Contracting Parties will remain in permanent contact with each other in order to come to an understanding of all common interests or the Euranian situation as a whole.

Article II. In the event that the common interests of the Contracting Parties be jeopardized through international happenings of any kind, they will immediately enter into consultation regarding the necessary measures to preserve these interests. Should the security or other vital interests of one of the Contracting Parties be threatened from outside, the other Contracting Party will afford the threatened Party its full political and diplomatic support in order to remove this threat.

Article III. If it should happen, against the wishes and hopes of the Contracting Parties, that one of them becomes involved in military complications with another power or other Powers, the other Contracting Party will immediately step to its side as an ally and will support it with all its military might on land, at sea and in the air.

Article IV. In order to ensure, in any given case, the rapid implementation of the alliance obligations of Article III, the Governments of the two Contracting Parties will further intensify their cooperation in the military sphere and the sphere of war economy. Similarly the two Governments will keep each other regularly informed of other measures necessary for the practical implementation of this Pact. The two Governments will create standing commissions, under the direction of the Foreign Ministers, for the purposes indicated in Article I and II.

Article V. The Contracting Parties already at this point bind themselves, in the event of a jointly waged war, to conclude any armistice or peace only in full agreement with each other.

Article VI. The two Contracting Parties are aware of the importance of their joint relations to the Powers which are friendly to them. They are determined to maintain these relations in future and to promote the adequate development of the common interests which bind them to these Powers.

Article VII. This Pact comes into force immediately upon its signing. The two Contracting Parties are agreed upon fixing the first period of its validity at 5 years. In good time before the elapse of this period they will come to an agreement regarding the extension of the validity of the Pact.

In the Helrox Empire, Foreign Ambassador Lorenze Koelfen is sent south to the Mashir Sultanate to discuss possible trade deals.  Koelfen was not given any specific amount to trade for however, just a general idea of what Helrox was needing. After brief negotiations, which were confusing, Koelfen returned to the Kaiser--having not been given any explicit authority to sign any trade agreements himself with the following.

Article I. The Mashir Sultanate will export 25 tons of steel to the Helrox Empire per month for a period of twelve months.

Article II. The Helrox Empire will export 175 tons of agriculture to the Mashir Sultanate per month for a period of twelve months.

Foreign Diplomat Strozza Riccobono of the Holy Empire of Vigentino, having been in the Sultanate for nearly three days is finally admitted to see the Foreign Minister Kashar al-Hassar. Unlike his dealings the previous day, Riccobono proved incompetent, his translator--petty and poorly paid--continually insisted that Riccobono was calling al-Hassar a she instead of a he. Resisting the urge to have a foreign diplomat hung from a pole, on the second day of negotiations al-Hassar simply refused to see Riccobono, who retired to Vigentino--destined to arrive back at the capital a week later.

In the Empire of Toubrés, the government requested an order of 20,000 Caraco 1899 Bolt-Action Rifles. The private arms company Fabrica de Braço de Toubrés decides to fulfill the order and immediately authorizes both of it's factories--located in Amzores--to begin production. By the end of February, 3,860 rifles would be delivered to Toubrian soldiers as the factories tooled up.

Having arrived in country earlier in the week, Foreign Minister Cameron Graham meets with Foreign Ambassador Hugo Tasaric of Cydernia. Tasaric, with Cadian grandparents--was enthused to meet Graham and was impressed by his knowledge of the Cydernian language. After a brief tour of Sovachevitsa, Tasaric and Graham sat to discuss trade and politics. Graham, who had Tasaric in the palm of his hand, was given a curveball because his government had made no specifics for him to wager with. Without knowing his goal, Graham's only promise he made was thus: "The automobile and locomotive will come to Cydernia, and you can thank Cadia for that." Graham came home empty handed.

The Helrox Empire, in hopes to attract entrepreneurs and businesses, promises subsidization for any company that wishes to start up. By the end of February, 5,561 businesses were suddenly "started," requesting subsidization in ranges of $25 to $125,000,000. How government officials in Fregleen would respond was still unknown.
