Imperial Palace, Yatahago City
Emperor Saicho was tapping his fingers on his desk impatiently, waiting for his ministers to arrive for an urgent emergency meeting. He stared at the large oak-wood double doors, straight across from his desk; waiting for it to move.
The first to arrive was the old and experienced looking Jantei Saiteohago, the prime minister now serving his second term. Behind him was the always sad and serious looking Hue-ge Tasho, defence and internal affairs minister. They marched in, both in dark grey suits and archive bags with them.
“Your majesty” they both said while bowing in a ceremonial way.
Emperor Saicho nodded "Gentlemen, we have a dire situation ahead. Today I have heard the Jurei Freedom Movement attacked a military outpost, not far from Jureias. This outrage can not be tolerated and I can only think of one thing, war. he stated, pressingly.
The prime minister nodded and spoke. “Indeed your highness, parliament has almost reached to an agreement here, it seems it is indeed the only option.” He paused and nodded to Hue-ge Tasho, who motioned for him to carry on. “We have tried to contact the Jurei local parliament, but they are not answering to anything. According to some army observations, they are also building a wall near the border.”
The prime minister took out an archive from his bag and handed it over to the emperor. “Take a look at this sir, it is the entire observation on this agression and our current military force available.” he said, with a faint smile.
The emperor mumbled some words as he read the documents thoughtfully “I hope you have prepared a speech, prime minister.” the Emperor took some documents from his desk and started signing them, after which he applied the Kandorese Royal Seal. “We are at war, you are dismissed.” the emperor said, as he slowly got up from his chair and handed over the declaration of war to Jantei Saiteohago.
The two ministers nodded and bowed, before backing off and walking out of the door, towards parliament.
Tian e Heavu Furei, A few hours later
Masses of people began to swarm the Square of Heavenly Freedom, as did the press of several national and international news agencies. The square itself was decorated in an almost scary nationalistic way, flags and banners decorating the pillars surrounding the square. At the front of the square a large stage, with multiple Kandorese flags was being prepared for the Prime Minister to give his speech.
The crowd cheered and yelled praises, as the prime minister approached the small speaking booth on the stage. Slowly he adjusted the microphone, read over the papers in his hand for a brief moment and motioned for silence.
He looked into the crowd, coughed slightly to clear his throat and began his speech.
“People of Kandorith, today is an important mark in our history of national stability. As you may have heard, the Jurei proclaim to be an independent nation and have destabilized our own politics. We, the ministers of parliament and the emperor agree that this is an utter outrage.” He paused for a moment and took time to drink some water from the glass, standing on the booth.
He coughed slightly again and spoke. “This outrage, will not go unanswered. The crimes of war and terror against the state, are not unnoticed. Their terror network, who call themselves the Jurei Freedom Movement, will be brought to justice!” A loud cheering began as the people could not contain their nationalism, but were asked for silence yet again. “I, Prime Minister Jantei Saiteohago, in the name of his divine highness, the emperor; declare war against the Jantei free-state.”
The flashes of cameras was overwhelming, almost as overwhelming as the cheers coming from the people on the square. The prime minister bowed to the flags on the stage and walked off, the media still filming and photographing the emotions of the people on the square.
Soucho Province, near the Jurei free-state border, 15 minutes after the speech
“All right, first strike division get in line. prepare to move out!” Sergeant Makote shouted trough the communication, to all other tank drivers.
Slowly but surely the massive TP-90 tanks got in line, with roaring engines and their playing reflecting in the sunlight. The Sergeant raised a sword and trusted it forwards, after which the first line of tanks started moving towards the harsh, Jantei Desert"
