The first Ventuan V-Wings to enter service in Kadiya were initially used as fighters, after all!
Plus, I had to tie Kadiya into the canon somehow ;)
Sakura helped me a lot with the NC dispatch, and it'd be a shame to throw it all away. I doubt Poland-Lithuania will ever reach the military and economic power Kadiya once held, but I'd at least like some of my old armaments back
Edit: Also Ventus, watch your triple post~
TROUBLE BREWING IN THE EAST | PT.1
PALAZZO SAN MARCO | Kymi, Tierra del Fuego Province | Cymiopolis
After a long day in the Communi, Prime Minister Spyros Metaxa decided to unwind in his office. Gazing threw the window that overlooked the Old Port District, he could see the beautiful last rays of colourful light dancing among the clouds as the sun set in the West. He grabbed a the brandy from his liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass and lit up an Achipelan cigar. For a moment, he was able to close his eyes and be alone in his happy place. The glimpse of paradise was short lived however as banging emanated from the door. It was the Intelligence Minister, Alexandros Ypsilantis, with sly grin on his face and a glass of vodka in hand.
"Γαμώτο Alex! What is it this time and why the f*** are you drinking vodka? I thought you hated that stuff" Spyro roared from his.
"You'll never believe it φίλε! Armies are building up along the Polish-Ruthenian border. The Germans, the Trirenians, the Romanians, and maybe even the Russians will get involved.”, the Intelligence Minister announced with glee.
The Prime Minister stared at Mr Ypsilantis with disdain.
“Are you kidding me? I’ve already had 2 wars since I took this job and, granted they were successful, the nation isn’t looking to get into another”, Spyro said after skulking his drink.
“Don’t get your panties in a twist ol’ boy. I’m just saying there is money to be made on both sides. I say phone Pharos Aerospace and CCE Armaments, and get them to supply both sides. I’ll take care of sending mercenaries from our paramilitary shell companies courtesy of Mr. Beltran-Fuentes,” the minister said after taking a swig from the bottle.
“Rafael? That sleezy bastard? Fine I guess. Nobody said staying neutral meant we can’t make any money. Get the machine rolling Alex,” the Prime Minister relented.
The Intelligence Minister made his exit. Spyro proceed to shatter his glass against the closed door, finished his cigar calmed down, grabbed his coat and made his way home.
The following day, contract bids for fighter jets were sent to Poland-Lithuania by Pharos while the CCE sent tank offers to Ruthenians. Rafael Beltran-Fuentes took care of organizing mercenary companies to volunteer on both sides in the event a war broke out.

Her hands a bit shaky, as she retracted her arm she reached for her tie and loosened it up. Goda seemed to have not been noticing, preoccupied with scanning the ceiling, she felt as though she was being watched by somebody and looked towards Amanda and Kurea, though it seemed no one had been looking directly at her.
Kurea: "Hmmm, I don't think I have anything at the back of my head, things seem stable in Europe and Asia as well, Africa has been a dead silent land, and the Americas has been very peaceful it seems. Though mind I ask if Pretannia has any relations with the Sun Wu Dynasty, the family who claims the Mandate of Heaven amongst the populace that live in China, or does your government have connections with Austranisia or the OSSR (Oopsidroppedmyrightsburg)." she said, to why she was asking the diplomatic relations between the Government of Pretannia and these governments is unknown. Though they all do seem rather close to Japan.
Official Message from the Federal Ministry of Defense
COMANDO MILITARE DELLA REPUBBLICA ITALIANA ~ MINISTERO DELLA DIFESA
||2155
It is with great concern that the nation of Italy looks at the situation in eastern europe. The increasing mobilitation of armies and soldiers is awakening again the ghost of war that this continent is plauged with.
We would like to ask Polska-litwa and Galician green ukraine to try to work out their dispute through peaceful diplomatic means and restrain from using war. The Italian Republic offers itself as a neutral ground to open a channel for diplomacy and negotiation between the two nations.
We would also like to remind Ventus Prime and Triren our loyalty to the alliance, if any confrontation escalates further more, Italy is ready to deploy its forces and pacify the region. We ask for peace but war doesn't scare us.

Kurea sat on a chair facing her desk waiting for the phone to ring. Sitting on the couches in the Prime Minister's office was the newly made Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Nii Sai, as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs Imari Ao.
Sai: "So when are you expected to hear from them?"
Kurea: "Soon, they told me soon." she said as she kept tapping her foot onto the floor impatiently. A few minutes passed in silence and Ao got up and sighed.
Ao: "Look Prime Minister, we are wasting our time on just a country, we have other optio--" the phone suddenly rang and she quickly picked it up.
Kurea: "This is Prime Minister Ikari Kurea of Japan, who is this I am speaking to. Oh, President, I was hoping to get your call soon, has a decision been reached?. . . Hmm. I see. . . Yes. . . Okay. . . Yeah, alright. . . We got a deal then. . . It is a pleasure meeting you President, we shall talk soon." she says as she hangs up. Sai got up from the couch and twiddled with her fingers.
Sai: "So? Did we get it or not?"
Kurea: "Heh, we got it alright, this calls for a celebration, does it not?"
Sai: "Right on! We rocking the bar this night."
Kurea: "No, it is a nice day, early in the morning, perhaps we can go get some action in a golf course,"
Ao: "Well I can go, I anyways need to work on my golf skills."
Sai: "Ehhh, sure. . . I can go play some golf." she says, not very enthusiastic about golf.

December 12th, 2155
All of a sudden a man and a woman busted into the Prime Ministers' office panting. The man was Minister of Defense Nagai Rei and the woman was Minister of Security Mitsugu Mizuki.
Rei: "P-Prime Minister! I-I have urgent news!" he says panting.
Kurea: "Eh? What is it?"
Mizuki: " Huffs, it is Europe, there are tensions rising between the New European Member States as well as Poland-Lithuania against Russia and Ruthenia."
Rei: "Ma'am, this is bad."
Kurea: "Yeah no sh#t Sherlock, give me details on what will happen."
Rei: "Well to put it in simple terms, trade is going to slow down for a brief moment as the major powers start to fight and pick their side. We could expect little to no trade within those years of war due to governments shifting from civilian economies to war economies and changing their economic policy to limit exports and focus on the war."
Kurea: ". . ."
Rei: "With that in mind our main trading partners being Ruthenia and Germany who will be sucked into this war on opposite sides may try to coerce us to join a side, we would probably side with Germany but this will negatively affect relations with Ruthenia and we could expect them to put tariffs on goods coming from Japan into their lands."
Kurea: ". . ."
Rei: "Good thing is we have Pretannia to take our cover however they may also be dragged into the war and due to certain events they may not trade that much with us, either way, we will be in a loss,"
Kurea: ". . ."
Rei: "Oh yeah, and the Japanese Yen is linked to the German Marks, with them going to war, our currency may just go a bit tipsy due to the war. Which isn't good at all."
With all these negatives being stacked on each other like bricks or cement pouring onto her. Kurea struggled to contain herself. Her fist clenched as she dug her nails deep into the palm of her hands. She then goes into a rage and roars as she swiped everything off her desk violently onto the ground. Breathing heavily and looking angrily at the mess she caused, she then takes a 180 turn and raises her fist as she runs to the wall and punches it. She repeatedly punched it over and over again. Her colleagues looked at her in shock.
Mizuki: "O-oi! Boss!" Mizuki says as she hastily dashes towards the Prime Minister and grabs her arm, momentarily stopping her from punching the wall further. Kurea's knuckles already bleeding. Kurea looks at Mizuki as Mizuki held her arm firmly, she pants from putting a lot of force onto the wall.
Mizuki: "L-l-look ma'am, Italy is trying to settle things in Eastern Europe peacefully, be hopeful that things will work out eventually and it won't escalate to the point where it is a full-on conventional warfare."
Kurea: "Hmph!" she says as she shook Mizuki's arm off of hers, Mizuki letting go of it, "I will take those words of yours however I won't take them for granted. Worse to come I will go to Europe and see those European leaders 6 feet under." she says, as she then straightens her jackets and walks out of the room to the nearest bathroom.
Seeing the Poles and Germans become even more aggressive and now the Italians and its allies getting involved the Grand Prince has agreed to look over Cymiopolis tank offers.[i]
Castle outside Kiev, Ukraine
[i]While there is a war brewing in the western lands the Grand Prince has seen fit to meet the first major minister from a foreign land. Wearing traditional mail armor, helmet, and boots and a heavy fur coat along with a very fancy sword and sheath. He takes his favorite horse, Jack, and rides in his armor through the city out to the castle. When he reaches the castle the guards are startled but nonetheless let him through.
Grand Prince: I hope the Japanese get here in time, I made sure to slip the limo driver an extra 20. with this obvious joke his subordinates laugh heartily. Very nice decorations you have here Anatoliy (Minister) Im sure the Japs will feel right at home. As he says this he shouts to some of the workers lifting a huge painting of Emperor Hirohito. He points to another wall. Lets put a few more pictures of him over there!
All Quiet on the Eastern Front
By the following morning, German troops were stationed along the Polish-Ruthenian border and there they stayed, staring out towards the east.
It was quiet.
There was no telling if an attack would come. Their only orders were to stand by. If any Ruthenian soldiers came, they would have to hold their fire.
It was quiet. Maybe too quiet.

All quiet on the Western Front
The many different Ukrainian Divisions (80,000) grouped into Corps (80,000) and then Armies (300,000) on the western side are not all on the border as that would be insane having the men all inches from the border but are placed in a defense in depth tactics with reserves and defenses covering each other with the air force on medium alert status. Snipers and Scouts watch the border while deep underground radiomen and diggers listen and watch for any movement across the border from the Germans. The defenses include many different positions from AT tank positions to MG posts, to barbed wire, tank ditches, mine fields, lights, radio, AA guns, rocket launchers, mobile and stationary artillery, Mobile Tank and infantry battalion reserves to respond to breaches, towns and cities are barricaded and people moved away from the border and more and more.
Well then, Wrighton thought as he wrote a press statement about the events occuring in Central Europe, simeltaneously laughing and facepalming internally.
This is extremely ironic.
Statement from the President's Office
As a nation on good terms with the German Federation, The Republic of California, concerned by the rapidly unfolding events in Central Europe. urges for both sides to withdraw their forces before conflict becomes a certainity, and to come to the table in a diplomatic settlement to negotiate the future of the territories disputed by Poland and Ruthenia. A war in Europe is detrimental for either side in this conflict, and will be globally if this spirals out of control.
An official statement on... whatever the heck is going on over by Polska-litwa and Galician green ukraine
We agree with the stance that Italy has taken on this situation. Having this escalate further into outright war would be very unfortunate, and would cause unnecessary harm and loss to all those involved, and as the folks over in California mentioned, even to those outside of Europe. While we cannot say if conflict is unavoidable, we encourage both sides to try and come to a solution that won't involve any shedding of blood.
Much like the Italians, we are also willing to serve as neutral ground, and as a negotiator.
Now that tensions have risen so severely, it may prove difficult, but avoiding an armed confrontation would be the ideal outcome.

Kurea comes to the office nowadays with a bandage wrapped around her knuckles and the palm of her hands. Still being able to lift things up however it would feel uncomfortable for her. The last four days have been hell watching the events unfold. Some European powers calling for some peace, and it seems that California and Norway are now opposing the build-up. Though to no avail, the border still seemed to build up or stay mobilized.
She gritted her teeth in rage, she took the phone and dialed up a number, and held it to her ear.
Kurea: "Secretary, get me the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I need to send a word to these European warlords." she says, smashing the phone onto the table.
Later in the day, Kurea came on television, she hid her hands behind or under the podium.
Kurea: "To the people of Europe and her governments. I as Prime Minister of Japan, representative of the Japanese people and her government, who have expressed dissatisfaction towards the current buildup on the Polish-Ukrainian border, will ask that things be handled diplomatically either in Japan or in another neutral nation. It is my strong advice that this is handled diplomatically. If tensions remain high on the border and there are little to no efforts on demobilizing the border between Poland and Ukraine. Then I shall personally take a visit towards each nation that is involved in this event and take strong measures to ensure that war doesn't break out on the Polish-Ukrainian border. I wish Europe and her people carry the same resentment to these recent tensions as the Japanese government and her people do so with the same burning passion to bot have this conflict break out. I wish everyone farewell and Good night to Japan and her people."

Upon being asked the purpose of this army movements which the Prime Minister is supervising, this seemingly new army out of nowhere, he had this to say...
Due to threats along the border, The first Belarusian front will be mobilized.
"Через загрози уздовж кордону, Перший Білоруський Фронт буде мобілізований."
PM: "We are not aiming to be aggressive, we want nothing but peace with the Germans and Poles, but we will not sit idely by as they tramp around the borderlands flipping us off!"

The Grand Prince stared idely at the screen rewinding and watching the tape over and over again.
GP: "These effeminate unmanly dogs started this, all I want is peace, but I shall not back down." he muttered to himself almost silently
Message from the Office of the Chancellor
In response to the nations of California, Italy, Japan, and Bucksden, it should be noted that German troops present at the Polish border are there for defense purposes only. The German Federaion would also like to lend a hand in negotiations between Polska-litwa and Galician green ukraine. However, until the latter assures that there will be no aggression against Poland, the troops will remain at their stations.
Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine
The President is overseeing an opening of a new massive tank factory. standing on the railings high above the factory floor and hot furnaces and lines of production a servant rushes towards him carrying a note.
Servant: "Mr President an urgent communication, the PM and King are busy with other matters!"
Pres: "Yes yes thank you Sergei" taking out his reading glasses he opens the letter and begins to read "my my these krauts never know when to give up do they, and they have the audacity to accuse us of aggression?" After thinking for a while he orders his scribe to write a letter back to the Jerry frontlines.
We Ukrainians, sons of Cossacks and the Kievan Rus are a peace loving race but should danger ever threaten we will let the world know we will all answer the call to arms. Germany's aggressive actions on our border cannot be tolerated must longer and we demand the immediate withdrawal of all German forces from and around the Polish Ukranian border.
Message from the Office of the Chancellor
Germany will follow through and withdraw if Ukraine gives assurance that they will not attack or invade Poland’s territory.
Message to Jerry
"We had no plans to invade Poland"
Announcement from the Amphiteatre
Though it urges the honorable governors of Polska-litwa and Galician green ukraine to resolve their differences peacefully, The Fezzian League warns both that the newly reformed Fezzian military is ready and able to deploy in opposition to either aggressor, should Europe fall to chaos.
Ventus Prime and Italia unita
Any way one would look at this, this would almost be an embarrassment to the German people. Elias sighed as he read the response from the Ukrainians. Perhaps the Poles had misinterpreted Ukraine’s actions. But either way, this was going to be a slap in the face of not just Germany but Europe as a whole.
After careful consideration, we realize that we may have jumped the gun on the situation. Therefore, German troops will vacate the Polish border, though some will remain in Poland to help train the new Polish Army.
