Charles' World Tour; ATTN: TLR, Aksoem, Eyygui, Schadel, UGS

Aksoem

Her arrogance wafted around the room, not touching the man in the shadows, his expression remaining unchanged, a perfect poker face, to have read deeply into it, he was giving her his response to her arrogant statement with a non verbal statement of being unimpressed, an age passed with him unflinching, unmoving, almost as if he was in deep thought considering her response, suddenly he burst into activity, jotting down notes in an unreadable scribble, "A few more control questions please, describe yourself, your father, your mother, your career and your home nation in one word each." The pen kept scribbling as he asked this question, a black cube slipping from his pocket into his hand and being raised beside his ear.

She pondered what to say for a couple of seconds, looking straight into the strange man's eyes. They seemed almost demonic to her. "Since I can see you are a man who can not handle many words at once, I can describe my father, my mother and myself with one word" she said in the same speaking tone as before "Proud. My career is fulfilling. My nation" she paused "deserves more than one word. Eyygui is home, my nation is generoous, kind, and prosperous." She smiled, almost evily knowing that she had not given the man what he had asked. "I hope that satisfies your question."

Aksoem

The long sharp teeth on the man showed for a brief moment, it almost looked as though the bone white length never ended as it travelled up through the gums, "It certainly has." He commented, his mouth unmoving from its grim smile, the black box being placed back into his pocket, "Thank you miss Rania, some security questions now." He looked down upon a cleaner sheet of paper, as if he had already asked the questions he wanted the answers to, and now he was asking someone elses questions, "Did anyone but yourself pack your bags?" Almost without pausing he moved onto the next questions, "Are you affliated with any organisations intending to bring down or disrupt the Aksoem Goverment? Are your intentions here in a Business or Pleasure manner? Are you or have you ever had Typhoid? Do you confirm that you are free of listening or recording devices?" He put the sheet back on the table, crossing his arms, almost unsure what he was to do after she gave these answers.

She was starting to have some fun now. She had dreamed of this ongoing sublte volley of words between two people, who deep down hated each other, but could not show it on their exterior. "Yes, my maid packed my bags for me" she thought to say, but she knew that she could not say this without being led down a path of more questions. Instead she opted to say "I always have a bag packed for quick travel, only I touch it. The only organization I am affiliated with is the Eyyguian Government, setting the current state of affairs between our two nations aside, my government has no intention of bringing down or disrupting your government. I am here as a personal diplomatic escort to Charles, you may decide wether it is business or pleasure."

She paused, recalling what other question she had to answer, the typhoid one then poped in her head. "To my knowledge I have never contracted Typhoid Fever, that being the correct term for it" she smiled wittily "I have been immunized against it, as it is required in Eyygui. And finally, I am guilty of carrying a listening device and a recording device, my ears and my brain, and I do hope I may keep them with me. Aside from them I have no other listening or recording devices." Part of her wished for the questioning to be over, the other part wished for it to continue.

Aksoem

The Man shuffled his papers together, he got up to leave, the light shining on his face made him turn suddenly quiet as he walked out the room, it was another forty minutes, the sun now risen high into the cramped cell, before an escort arrived to take the Princess from her cell, and reunite her with the rest of the group, Kibwe was still there commenting on what he could do, to what he had left unclear, but everyone pretty much knew already, "She came here!" He said, "You don't walk right into the Lions den unless you expect to be killed." Kagiso felt slightly embarrased for Charles, who had to listen to this ranting, "I say let her experience Aksoem life, the ups and the downs, we could send her to Dakarai, I'm sure he'd have a use for her!"

"The Princess goes nowhere without me. I have never seen such wholehearted barbaric arrogance in my life. I come here in the name of peace, to speak with you and learn of your people and this is how your treat my guests? I can assure you that had you ever come to the Confederacy you would have been treated with dignity, not disparaged." Charles was fuming. What kind of psychopath was this man? He casually moved his hands together to give his guards a secret notice that he expected trouble may be coming.

"Before I at least gave your people the benefit of the doubt, but if the rest of your nation acts the same as you, there is no hope for this cesspool called Aksoem. There will be no discussion, we are leaving. I am also personally notifying you that if you ever attempt to enter the Confederacy you will deported or have your plane shot down. The leaders of Aksoem are not welcome in the Confederacy." With that, Charles turned to return to the SUV's.

Aksoem

Kagiso felt that now there was nothing that could be said to offend him further, shouting behind the King "Next time you visit a country don't bring their enemies royal family with you." Kagiso didn't much like Charles anyway, the man was obviously lonely, otherwise he'd have chosen a bride closer to his home, and he obviously hadn't given Aksoem the benefit of the doubt, if he did he wouldn't have taunted them into verbal attack in the first place, "Eyygui will obviously be using TBA as a whipping bitch now, Eyygui may have just turned this into an old fashioned four on one."

The insults melted off of Charles, he did not show the slightest bit of recognition towards the words. Him and Rania got into one of the SUV's and were off to the airport. After a very long flight, the two disembarked the jet and descended onto the tarmac in Schaedel. Once again they hopped inside an SUV and were taken to their meeting.

The SUV carrying Charles and Rania were accompanied by a small police escort as it made its way through the capital, Gross Schaedel, checkpoints made along the way to show off the modernity of the architecture in the most important city in the Demokratischreich. Emphasized was the fact that though Schaedel may be tiny, its wealth was not to be ignored. Finally, the SUV stopped at the building housing the meeting place. As Charles and Rania were escorted towards the elevators, they might have noticed what seemed to be beefed-up security. After a short ride in the elevator, they exited on the 7th floor. Here, they were greeted by Kaiser Tomas Schaedel III, who instead of looking regal, had a business-man look about him, once again emphasizing wealth.

"Wilkommen zum des Demokratischreich Schaedel(Welcome to the Imperial Democracy of Schaedel). It is an honor to have a leader such as yourself within our borders."

Tomas struck out his arm, giving a firm handshake. He lead them through elegantly-crafted double-doors to the meeting room, which included a spectacular view of other parts of the capital, and in the backdrop, the cragged peaks that held the deposits of just one source of Schaedel's wealth.

"The guy with the real power, Kanzler Kosciusz, should be here soon. Sorry for the hold up and any possible further interruptions, but we have a situation in the West. That crazy tinpot dictator chose a great time to go insane. But until then, do you have any questions about this grand nation?"

Charles visibly frowned, these psychotic leaders were popping up everywhere. "I am aware of the civil war in New Slaybackia. Has it somehow involved you? Last I heard most of the people in the country for that supposed debate have disappeared. Apparently the atheist decided he couldn't defend himself anymore and had to kill his detractors. At least there is one sane man with courage in that country."

After a brief pause for a drink of water he began again, "Could you explain how this 'Imperial Democracy' works? In the Confederacy we have steadily increased the powers of the elected legislature but myself and the Grand Council still hold much of the real power. How do you feel about your position in this government?"

"The dictator over there requested a peace conference between our nation, Baricia in the North, and themselves. Apparently, from what our diplomat told us while having to dodge gunfire, the fool went insane at the appearance of our diplomat, a Low Schaedelian(Polish)-Jew, and had him and the Barician representative, their second-in-command, held hostage. They somehow escaped in the confusion of the opening salvos of their civil war, but we haven't heard much since. The bastard showed himself a true barbarian. Holding a non-hostile diplomatic representative hostage..."

Tomas paused to let himself cool down. The previous events, the unexpected barbarianism of the Slaybackian Dictator, still needed time to wear off. Tomas sipped a glass of cool water, before answering Charles' question on the workings of the Demokratischreich.

"To answer that, I must go back to the end of Goetterdammerung. When my ancestor, the first Kaiser, Tomas Schaedel I was able to unify the various clans and groups within our current borders, largely in part due to his non-involvement in the centuries long strife, he realised that we could only rebuild under a strong, central government. The Kaisers of his age, from the early 1900s to 1990, were able to rule with an iron fist if needed. The Imperial Parliament was around, but was not representative of the people. It was more of a rubber-stamp of the then-Kaiser's rulings. This proved beneficial during the long years of the Reconstruction. The oil finds in Nordgard and Kosciuzkoza, and also the massive metal deposits in those grand moutains we can see now helped speed up the Reconstruction. However, beginning the 1980s, my father, Dietrich Schaedel, knew that the Reconstruction was nearly over. He was a good man, and believed that when the Reconstruction ended, the absolute power of the Kaiser would no longer be needed. Thus, in 1990, he opened the Imperial Parliament to a free universal vote for the people, and invested in it most of his powers. A good portion of the parliament is still made up of men and women who were members of it during the time of Reconstruction, though as time passes, the people shall find more leaders who will handle the situations needed to govern this land well. The way the representation is distributed is to give the elected member a small group of people to represent, so as to better advocate their needs. The position of Kaiser could have ended their, but a grateful people and Parliament decided to keep this position, although it is largely a figure-head status. But that does not mean the Kaiser has no influence in politics.

Tomas paused to ponder the question Charles put forth on his own feelings on his position.

"I view that it is a way to serve my country and people. The only unified government of this land before 1990 has been that of the Kaiser's, and thus we, and I, play a special role, a link to the past. The Imperial Parliament is always open to the ideas of a Kaiser on various issues. I am allowed to offer and recieve insight on various issues. But perhaps, this is only because of the recent change to a more democratic government. No one could possibly know how my descendants will handle the role and whether this title will survive the sands of time."

"I understand and admire your country. Your people have persevered through much hardship over the centuries and it is because of strong leaders like yourself that your nation has risen to such heights and is able to stay so united even when you surrender the most of your powers. I don't think I would mind the same situation, the question is whether or not the old timers in the Great Council would be willing to give up much more of their power." said Charles. He took a sip of water and then went into another topic.

"What are the chances that yourself and Baricia will be declaring war on Macklein? I would be willing to give airsupport to any offensives you may launch. This man must be taken down."

Tomas was prepared to answer when the door slowly opened, and Kanzler Kosciusz hurried in. Tomas excused himself for a few moments as he and the Kanzler went through a few salvos of quick whispers, of formulating plans. With the grin of a cat who had just caught the mouse, Tomas turned back towards Charles.

"I am sorry for that short interruption. As for war...", Tomas chuckled softly before continuing, "wars can be easily started and finished when you simply cut the head off the snake. I'll let Stanislaw(the Kanzler) elaborate."

Kosciusz cleared his throat before starting. "Our intel, and Barician intel, have been working hard on trying to find out where the hell Macklein has been through all of this, after the peace conference melted down. But we did it, we think we have found where the coward has been hiding. It appears he has been hiding at sea on a rather sneaky and sophisticated naval ship. Due to the amount of communication traffic we have been picking up coming to and from it, and from sattelite imagery, we think its the one he has been on all this time. Eyewitness accounts from our man in Slaybackia near confirmed it, but we can't always be right. It's currently south of the Barician coast, just a bit West of Slaybackia's coast. We've been keeping the communication lines clear to Baricia, and our nations have come up with a plan to end this here and now. The Barician Imperial Air Force is about to smash that ship into a billion pieces. They're not taking any chances, and neither are we. Our First Air Wing is currently transporting to Baricia by an over-sea northern route to avoid detection by Slaybackia. We would have preferred taking him alive, but if we can't do that, we'll kill him to end it now. Tomas informs me that you have offered air support. Can it arrive quickly, so this does not continue much longer?"

"I can offer several high altitude bombers equipped with various smart bombs to go over New Slaybacksburgh and obliterate the government and economic sectors. It's risky but could make a good diversion. I could send some fighters with the bombers and then send a wing of F-22's up to Baricia to assist in the attack against Macklein. Whatever you deem appropriate I will authorize it be sent."

"We're not willing to hit economic centers yet, as that might hamper reconstruction when the rebels get their victory or Macklein is dead. Reports are still a bit sketchy on the ground, and either side could be lieing about what ground they hold. In the attack on Macklein himself, we fully accept your offer. We can send the Baricians this information. Do you need to contact your government? We can provide you a secure line."
