[Motion] November Ultimatum

Post by Jonas »

"Honourable Zhu of the Yuan

None of us can stay unmoved by the tragedy which has overcome our eastern neighbours in Coria. Their wise and good king, Nikolaj, murdered by a Florian! That the Florians would never act if not backed by a major power was clear from the very start. And look, honourable comrades!

The poor king hadn't even been placed in the catacombs of his ancestors yet, when Florian-Shirerithian aggression aimed for one more victim. A few days back, Florian and Shirerithian troops advanced upon Chuán Ké.

In times like these we need to put away our differences, both in this fine institution and between us and the Xhusovars.

Let us - in name of stability and peace - send an ultimatum to the Florians. If they decide wisely, they will leave the territories they conquered, and - if Heaven allows it - peace will prevail!"

November Ultimatum

1. The Florian Republic and its Allies shall surrender the occupied territories of Xhusovar back to its rightful Authorities.

2. The Florian Republic shall demobilise its Armed Forces and will demilitarise its borders with the Xhusovar State.

3. The Florian Republic shall cede parts of its territory to the Xhusovar State to grant it direct access to the sea. The Florian Nation shall, in agreement with the Xhusovar Authorities gain free access to the coastal region.

4. The Florian Republic will pay a sum of 900,000,000 Kala to the Xhusovar State for the damages made during the war. This sum shall be paid within a period of 35 daor.

5. Citizens of the Xhusovar Corridor shall be allowed to chose between remaining a Florian state citizen (which will entail a forced removal from Xhusovar territory) or integrate and become a Xhusovar state citizen.

6. The Florian Authorities have 24 hours to evacuate their troops from Xhusovar and notify the Jingdaoese administration to open negotiations concerning above articles.

"The Florians have accepted all articles, except one: article 3. This well-meant ultimatum to strengthen the Xhusovar State against future aggression has therefore not been accepted by the Florians."

Diwang Zhang San showed little happiness when he had to step forward and greet his colleagues in the Yuan. There they sat: politicians and military personnel, elected by a part of the population. He knew that most despised him and that his own career was simply the result of his hard labour as a scribe being recognised by the Hai Emperor. Within the Palace corridors it had been a constant struggle between his own Bureaucrat Faction - which itself was divided over issues as war and peace - and the Army and Navy. Those three factions each had their own representatives, properly hidden away behind the cosmetic apparatus that was called 'the National Diet'. If not for Princess Yuling, he would have most likely been fired - or executed for incompetence - long ago. But he knew that even while his supporters came from the Badao Party, his enemies did too.
Today was the day that he had to show to them all that he could govern the country during times of urgency. Today he had to set aside his own opinions, in favour of the glory of an empire. There was no room for failure. And that, very ironically, gave the former scribe a feeling of tranquillity, as it brought him back to the days when he was young, and failure was worse than death.


"Honourable Zhu,

The Grand Secretariat has taken notice of the refusal of our neighbour to take measures to assure peace. There is only one thing we can do, as a nation which seeks Eternal Heavenly Peace for this world:"
Declaration of War to the Florian Republic


By the grace of Heaven, the Hai Emperor, True Holder of the Heavenly Mandate, Bringer of Harmony, Descendant of Cato and Germania, Living Reincarnation of Sisera, Heavenly Light of the Holy Grand Jingdaoese Empire, Pater Familias of the Great Jing Dynasty, Caudillo of the Armed Forces of the Empire, Preserver of Aracigrad, King of the Batavians, Dutch of Kildare, Prince of Aryasht, Lord Protector of the River Warriors, seated on the throne occupied by the same dynasty from time immemorial, enjoin upon ye, Our loyal and brave subjects:

We hereby declare War on the Florian Republic and announce the cre-opening of Hostilities with the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. The men and officers of Our Army and Navy shall do their utmost in prosecuting the war. Our public servants of various departments shall perform faithfully and diligently their respective duties; the entire nation with a united will shall mobilize their total strength so that nothing will miscarry in the attainment of Our war aims.

To ensure the stability of Apollonia and to contribute to world peace is the far-sighted policy which was formulated by Our Great Illustrious Mengjiang Emperor and Our Great Imperial Sires succeeding Him, and which We lay constantly to heart.

To cultivate friendship among nations and to enjoy prosperity in common with all nations, has always been the guiding principle of Our Empire's foreign policy. It has been truly unavoidable and far from Our wishes that Our Empire has been brought to cross swords with our former Ally, the Florians, and the reckless imperialists, the Shirerithians. More than a week has passed since the occupation of their Xhusovo, failing to comprehend the true intentions of Our Empire, and recklessly courting trouble, disturbed the peace of the Apollonian Continent and compelled Our Empire to take up arms.

Eager for the realization of their inordinate ambition to dominate Apollonia, both the Florians and Shirerithians, giving support to assassins, have aggravated the disturbances in Apollonia. Moreover these two Powers, inducing other countries to follow suit, increased military preparations on all sides of Our Empire to challenge Us.

They have obstructed by every means Our peaceful commerce and finally resorted to a direct severance of economic relations, menacing gravely the existence of Our Empire. Patiently have We waited and long have We endured, in the hope that Our government might retrieve the situation in peace.

But Our adversaries, showing not the least spirit of conciliation, have unduly delayed a settlement; and in the meantime they have intensified the economic and political pressure to compel thereby Our Empire to submission. This trend of affairs, would, if left unchecked, not only nullify Our Empire's efforts of many years for the sake of the stabilization of Apollonia, but also endanger the very existence of Our nation. The situation being such as it is, Our Empire, for its existence and self-defense has no other recourse but to appeal to arms and to crush every obstacle in its path.

The hallowed spirits of Our Imperial Ancestors guarding Us from above, We rely upon the loyalty and courage of Our subjects in Our confident expectation that the task bequeathed by Our forefathers will be carried forward and that the sources of evil will be speedily eradicated and an enduring peace immutably established in Apollonia, preserving thereby the glory of Our Empire.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and caused the Grand Seal of the Empire to be affixed at Daocheng Palace, this 15th day of the 4th month of the 312th daor since our Creation.

"Honourable comrades

The Florian scum is on the retreat and even their own allies are tired of their corrupt ways!
Once our troops have reached a breakthrough and established control over the north, we shall propose following peace terms. If not accepted, we shall continue the war and occupy the whole country:"
TREATY OF CHUAN KE


1. The former territory of Xhusovar, currently under Jingdaoese control, remains in the Jingdaoese sphere of influence. The nation shall be renamed to 'Empire of Hondon'.

2. To establish a buffer zone between Jingdao and the Florian Republic, the Florians shall cede parts of their land to Hondon.

Image

3. The Florian Republic shall refrain from influencing the Empire of Hondon in any way.

4. The Florian Republic will pay a sum of 700,000,000 Kala to the Empire of Hondon and 350,000,000 Kala to the Jingdaoese for the damages made during the war. This sum shall be paid within a period of 35 daor.

5. The Florian Republic shall refrain from joining any alliance which in any way has the goal to attack or destabilise or endanger the stability of the Jingdaoese Empire.

6. A pro-Jingdaoese party shall be established. During the current administration this party shall receive control over the Ministries of Domestic Affairs and Media.

7. The city port of Blyth shall be open to Jingdaoese merchant ships. Jingdaoese shall not have the obligation to pay tariffs for the upcoming 100 daor.

8. Anti-Jingdaoese politicians shall be stripped from office, arrested and be unable to take up office in the future.

9. Anti-Jingdaoese propaganda shall be illegal and spreading it will be made punishable by death, or banishment. Any anti-Jingdaoese organisations are banned.

10. The Florian Republic shall refrain from constructing fortifications near the Hondonese and Jingdaoese border.

11. The Florian Republic shall hand over the remnants of its fleet to the Imperial Jingdaoese Navy. In return, the Jingdaoese Navy shall guarantee the defence of its sea lanes.

12. The Florian Republic shall grant the Jingdaoese Army a victory parade through its capital.

"Honourable zhu,
Our diplomatic corps has noticed that the Florians seem to be once again incapable of governing their country properly. Even while they had earlier accepted our agreement, they now have accepted the so-called Armistice of Blyth. This would mean that communities and land would remain under Shirerithian authority. As the war is quickly escalating and will most likely expand to other theatres, we can not accept one pro-Treaty Florian to remain free and attack us in our flanks.

We should discuss our possibilities, including the total destruction of those Florian cities, the arrest and execution of the politicians responsible for it (according to the treaty signed, which includes the president)."

A senator slowly walks towards the interruption microphone.

"Zhu, it is not my wish to bother anyone with my opinion. For my opinion is a bleak light compared to the shining grace of the Heavenly Light... but may I suggest the complete annihilation of everything Florian? Are such blemishes on the face of Micras really something we should cherish?"

Honourable Zhu,

The credibility of the Florians has been - once again - been tarnished. Their agreement with the Natopians on a moment that we are on the point of liberating the south and their decision to cede their only port has once more proven the lack of decent governance. I want to point out to our own treaty with their nation: "7. The city port of Blyth shall be open to Jingdaoese merchant ships. Jingdaoese shall not have the obligation to pay tariffs for the upcoming 100 daor."
The Florians can no longer sustain the promises they made. Therefore they have once more broken an agreement made between our both administrations. This was done without a single warning, without even a meeting between our Forces and their government, without a single vote.

Besides that, their own treaty speaks of "3. FR shall encourage the USSO to cease all fighting against SANE forces.". This means that during this fight, they remain untrustworthy. One who discourages our struggle against SANE is de facto an enemy. And an enemy must be destroyed.

I wish to debate the possibilities about how we should handle this case, but I propose the following:
- Jingdao shall demand from the Florian Republic to become a protectorate. We shall appoint a governor-general with veto privileges.
- The civil administration that exists today shall remain untouched, except if the population wants to change it, of course.
- Once the war is over - and if a border remains with Natopia - We shall occupy the border between both nations, to keep the Florians safe from the vile SANE.

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE FLORIAN STATE


Image


To assure the safety of the Florian population during wartime, the Jingdaoese Armed Forces have decided to temporarily disband the defunct Florian Republic and replace it with the General Government of the Florian State.

1. In accordance with the Treaty of Chuan Ké, all parties and political organisations with anti-Jingdaoese opinions shall be disbanded. Their leaders shall arrested and possibly tried on charge of treason if they do not revoke their anti-Jingdaoese stance.

2. The reconstruction of the railways and road network shall be focused on the area from Hondon and airports towards the frontline. Cheap forced labour by use of prisoners may be authorised to increase the construction speed.

3. A Food Relief Program under the authority of the Ministry of Spiritual Affairs shall be started to aid the thousands of hungry families in their time of need.

4. The Florian Army is hereby disbanded. The soldiers, conscripts and volunteers shall - if possible - be integrated in a Florian-Jingdaoese Defence Army.

5. Any former Florian currency has been made invalid and replaced by the Jingdaoese Military Kala (JMK). The conversion rate will be 1 JMK for each 100 Florian Pound.

6. The Ministry of Spiritual Affairs is established with the main goals of directing food relief and the establishment of a spiritual policy for the impoverished people of the Florian State.

7. Tianchaodao shall be formally endorsed throughout the Government General in the hope that it will raise the spirits of the people.

8. Free and democratic elections will be held for the Florian House of Commons. Elections will be held in the districts deemed safe and secure by the Military Administration.

9. The National Spiritual Mobilization Movement is established as patriotic party under the leadership of the current Minister of Domestic Affairs, Hai Yong.

10. Field Marshal Tzao Yao is appointed Military Governor in charge of military and foreign affairs in the Government General. Authority over civil administration remains in hands of the president and House of Commons.

"Honourable zhu,

The Grand Secretariat wants to let the Yuan know that the last few weeks have seen extreme violence and destruction on the Florian frontline.

To summarise:

1. A massive tank battle between the Jingdaoese and SANE troops found place between Dragonmoor and Old Haven (Battle of Middle Haven). The end result was indecisive. The destruction brought to the land, however, was enormous.

2. As a direct result of further offensives, the cities of Old Haven and Dragonmoor saw street-to-street battles. The towns have been reduced to rubble and the habitants who couldn't flee are suffering from illnesses as a result of lack of food and healthy water. Doctors fear an outbreak of the Alexandrian Flu and advise leaving the region before the illness spreads to our military.

3. The Sieges of Dragonmoor and Old Haven, together with the Tank Battle of Middle Haven, resulted in a tactical retreat of the SANE troops further southwards. Our engineering corps let us know that fighting our way southwards, depending on the lack of any decent supply lines, would end in a disaster.

4. The City of Fosavlos saw heavy combat in its outskirts, after which the 32th Heavenly Corps started its retreat oversea (à la Dunkirk). All 278 Dolstier tanks and 15 Lucinspire Class Heavy Tank were destroyed before the enemy could get their hand upon it (no certainty if it's unrepairable in some cases). Around 12,000 soldiers and 154,000 civilians were rescued by small vessels brought to Xiacheng.

In my next speech, I will outline the decisions of the Grand Secretariat concerning the proposed treaty and what measures will be taken as a consequence of recent events on the front line."

"The following measures are taken concerning the current situation:

1. The Imperial Armed Forces retreats back to the Hondonese Empire.

2. A full-scale evacuation of the Jingdaoese and Hondonese who are willing to flee the country will commence and receives absolute priority.

3. Refugees will be relocated in Hondon and receive aid from the Hondonese government and Imperial Armed Forces.

4. To allow easy re-engagement with the enemy in the south and to allow for people to settle within the borders of Hondon, a trade is made with Gerenia: the Samarne region will be sold in return for the Misnir region.

Image Image

5. Any heavy industry left in the north of Floria will be relocated to Hondon. Military arsenals will be emptied and important documents - if necessary - be destroyed.

6. Monuments which were not destroyed by the war and which favour independence or other radical movements shall be blown up where the local garrison evacuates the region.

7. Any food relief will be stopped immediately and full prices and tariffs will be charged when trading. Any profits will go to fund the Jing & Hon Relief Funds.

8. Prisoners of war and Florians who committed crimes, like resisting the occupation government, which had not been transported westwards will immediately be sent to labour camps in Jingdao. An agreement with the Florian administration will be reached on a later date to discuss their return. Total numbers of POW are around 900,000 Florians.

9. Existing mines, funded directly or indirectly by Jingdaoese investments whatsoever, will be destroyed. The remaining resources will be relocated to Jingdao and Hondon.

10. When the Military confirms above measures have been enacted upon, our representatives will sign the peace treaty with Floria."


11. Any stadium within occupied territory will be turned into a graveyard for the thousands of fallen Florians.


"Perhaps these actions sound severe, perhaps even cruel, but we can not allow that the Florians ever become a threat at our borders again. Let them suffer and work, as they are the reason the world is plunged into war!"
