Chapter 25 - Volume 2 Chapter 1

What makes an civilization grows? Discovery, Invention and Innovation within the civilization, driven by curiousity, to reduce what the peoples fear of the unknown, and the will to adapt in order to survives their own advancement

But, what if the advancement speed, cannot keep up with the wisdom to controls it?

In 1961, United States Of America, and Soviet Union are experiencing an growing tension between their rivalry

From the Checkpoint Charlie standoff, construction of Berlin Wall, and United State's backed "Bay of Pigs Invasion" failed in Cuba, and Fidel Castro declared Cuba an Marxist-Lenist State

This tensions are very high, and continue to grows, that will continue to rise

In 25th September, 1961

President Kennedy delivered his famous address to the United Nations General Assembly on September 25, 1961, where he warned that humanity must end war or face destruction

The speech addressed the existential threat of nuclear weapons, urging a "peace race" and outlining proposals for disarmament, including a nuclear test ban and keeping weapons out of space

In that speech too, he said a line that was remembered as an warning to Humanity...

"Mankind must put an end to wars—or wars will put an end to mankind"

An warning, and a message to the whole world

The humanity, can be annhinilated due to its own conflict

And, the reason?

"Technology without the wise mind to handle it, are a disaster to all"

.....

19 August, 2849, Northen Part of the Pangia's Continent, Beastrion Empire

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, deep in the cold of the northern part of the world despite the summer season, something massive was planned, and moving to its towards its goals...

Under the current heat of the summer season, under the clear vast, and the blue sky...

An sounds of an engines starting was filling the depth of the northen woods, surrounded by talls hills covered by tall taiga forests that spans several millions of kilometers wide

The stations was filled with thousands if not tens of thousands of animal races soldiers neatly in line of their regiments, but Lions, Leopards and Tigers like individuals, The Beast Race, and Bears like, The Medvedesian are dominating third of five of the whole forces

Followed by wolf-like Individuals, The Okami Races, The Dwarf Race, The Artherian Race and, and eagle-like individuals, the Adlerian Race

And, the suprisingly, very small fraction of Human Race

Most of them wear a tricolor green, blue sea, and black flag, with two-headed dark golden eagle in the middle of the flag, the flag of Beastrion Empire

And, in total, there is 7 differents emblem wore by the soldiers seen in the base, symbolizing 7 nations of The Coalition:

The Beastrion Empire, The Federation Of Artheria, The Democratic Republic Of Medvesian, The Republic Of Okami, Nogrod Democratic Directorate, Republic Of Adlerossu, and The Holy West Empire

All the 7 nations, forming the largest military and economic alliance in the whole world in history...

Besides the massive stations full of trains, theres, an massive military base, spans over tens of kilometers long and hundreds of kilometers wide, guarded heavily by military, both land and air

The ground was guarded by layered defense line and checkpoints, that spans nearly 35 kilometers long outside of the base itself and consist about nearly as much as 30.000 Soldiers guarding it

The air was guarded by 40 units of mobile Air Defense Systems, connected to dozens of Magi-Amplified Radar Systems for surveilance and detection mechanism that spans dozens of kilometers long

Around the base, there is massive barracks for the soldiers, dozens of a massive motorpools consisting thousands of tanks and armored vehicles in each motorpools

Then, inside the base of the base that connects to inside of one of the hills, are shown dozens of mechas are slowly being removed from the underground storage by heavy trucks and slowly being brought to an massive airfields, where as multiple transport planes are already stationed there

And, besides the airfields, there is an massive air base connected, consisting hundreds of air assets such as helicopters, jets, and bombers

Then, there is building complexes that acts as the Beastrion's Main Intellegence Agency Center, that are secretly monitoring the movement around the world

Then, there is the Military HQ, that are currently bustling with hundreds to thousands of the combined Coalition's soldiers and staffs hurriedly passing along the hallway of the HQ

But, among the staffs, there is one staffs that are carrying an folder on their hands, while also had 2 Imperial Soldiers guarding them

Their hands covers most of the file, but, one part of the folder has an barely visible print of codes just above their fingers:

"0D-03-50"

Then, in the end of the hallway, there is a door leads to The Main Room of the HQ, an massive room wheres militaries decision, planning and strategies are being made and decided

It was dark, only the lights from the massive amount of tens of to a hundred screens attached to the front walls, showing maps of the northen part of the world, wheres theres an huge box where it has maps of Nihin's Archipelago marked

The room was filled with multiple of rows of desk complexes, where staffs and soldiers are working on desk with their monitors showing countless datas because of how many are the datas shown and processed by the staffs

Meanwhile, in the front side of the room, and long, rounded table are filled with Beastrion's general and sended delegates from the Coalition's countries

The Beastrion highest general, are leading the meeting between The Coalition meeting

*Beastrion Armed Forces Marshall, and Beastrion's Grand Marshall, Alexander Krova*

Alexander's hands are gripping an folder in his hands into the air, before carefully put it into the table slowly, avoiding damaging the information inside it

"From our intellegence last reports in Nihin before we lost connections with them, consisting an information about the revolution started in Nihin 2 weeks ago" Says Alexander as he speaks to the Coalition's leaders in a heavy tone before continuing

Hes reporting how the Revolution started, how it was spreading at an unbelievable speed, how the group behind it able to systematically paralyze the entire Puppet State Of Nihingo's Imperial Army

He says that from the intellegence's last reports, reporting that two figures leading the Revolution

An figure in Nihin named "Tanaka Kouhei", or known as "The Meiji" and "The Promised Leader"

That has defeated one of the strongest and smartest known Chess Player in the world: Oruvi, in a match that lasted only about 6 minutes of extremely intense match

And, the Last Heiress Of Nihinese Imperial Family, and also The Crown Princes, Nishimura Yui, who had been lost from the world for 7 Years since the defeat of Nihinese Empire in Devided World War

This shocks some of the combined allies leaders, they knew how skilled is Oruvi in world of chess for a century, known as "The Longest Reign World Champions in History", the only among the Spirits Of World to ever formally registered as World Champion

But, what makes them shocked the most is that the fact of Nishimura Yui, the daugther and Crown Princess of Emperor Nishimura Farus and Empress Nishimura Nako is still alives

Among of thwm, the Holy West Empire's Prime Minister then speaks, his eyes is in disbelief and the one shocked the most

The Holy West Empire, is the only Human country, besides Nihinese Empire and Jusanaru Dynasty in history, to ever siding with the Animalian decendant races species in order to survives in West Pangia

Where the regions is dominated by Animalian decendant races, and Holy West Empire are siding for survival matters

And, after Devided World War 7 years ago, Holy West Empire's Emperor and the Pope of the Halejian Cathedral of the Haleju

Decided that, they should sides with Beastrion and its allies under a decree ratified by both Emperor and Pope, and formally annouced by the Prime Minister

Stated that, Holy West Empire from now will starts to reconciles with the Animalian decendant races, in order to maintain peace in the regions

But, by doing so, they also betrayed Nihin and Jusanaru, by joining the very enemies that occupies Nihin and Jusanaru, monopolizing nearly 60 percent of the world's economy for 3 centuries

Discriminating other races besides themselfs, and obiviously the one that caused the Devided World War, that plunges third of four of the world into fragmanted wars against each other

This event, sparking many condemnation from the rest of the world, from Nihin, Jusanaru, Elven, Dwarfian, Atlantian, Protonus, Androus-Machinurus, and more 64 countries around the world

And, most importantly, the biggest betrayal to Humanity...

With the fact that Nishimura Yui still alives, Karl Francois, Holy West Empire's Prime Minister, afraid that this will be Nihin's chance to take revenge for what Holy West Empire have done to them

*Holy West Empire's Prime Minister, Karl Francois*

His voice is almost like the world has lied to him the whole time, mixed with hint of guilt

"The Nishimuras are still alives?! How is that possible? She was declared dead by Hofurz himself when he annouced Nihin's surrender 7 years ago!"

Then, Democratic Republic Of Medvesian's General Secretary, an big, humanoid black bear, with an one lost eye on the right side with visible scars on his face, with visible anger on his expression

*General Secretary of Medves First Of Democratic Republic Of Medvesian, Alexis Roy*

"Did you just say, YOU are not even sure of The Crown Princess's death 7 years ago?" Says Alexis with pressed angered tone as he leans towards Alexander

"Beastrion have lied, you and your government have lied to all of us!" Says Alexis as he points an finger at Alexander

"My country, have contributes a lot to this alliances, remember, without my initiation with Chancellor Furishi 7 years ago to bail out your country's war debt to Androus-Machinurus Union's SynCore International Fund"

"Your country wouldnt even be a country with the strongest military and economy in the world right now if we havent save you from those slick machines races!" Says Alexis finally hits the table with his paws

Causing the tables to jumps slightly to his directions

Alexander remained calm and profesional, he tidy up his military camo uniform before answering, his voice is remains calm

"I know it was an unexpected news for all of us, even i'm myself was shocked too"

Then, he tells Karl and Alexis that the reports doesnt says how Yui is able to survived the Purge

"As for how, it was still left unanswered, since we found no information or hint of how Crown Princess Yui survived the Purge"

"But, as for my presumption, it might be connected to the family's secret fail safe plan, that are priotizing the heiress's survival and safety" Says Alexander as he explained his preassumption

Then, an Adlerossu's delegate, wearing an militaristic uniform dress, with two hole on their back to fit their golden brown wing, and the only female in the table, speaks to Alexander with a calm, but terrifying tone

*Republic Of Adlerossu's Commander in Chief, Elise Eisenwald*

"Alexander, this is an very big proves of Beastrion's Intellegence, and Military failures" Says her as she folds her hand in her lap

Elise then spreads its wings and leans into her seat more, before speaking again, this time noting Beastrion's mistakes and failures

"Beastrion's military could be hurt even more, as it turns out, one of Beastrion's Deputy Director appointed Nihin's puppet state government Vice Emperor, Ivanov Kuhre"

"Was turns out, to be the forgotten Vampire General, Darius, who went undercover, and also have been controlling Beastrion for nearly a decades long" Says Elise in stern tone, before she inhale and exhale, before continue her list

"But, that could be understood, due to the insane level we are with Darius"

"But, Beastrion biggest mistakes, its, first, failed to locates Nihin's secret military base during your the occupation of Nihin" Says her as she raise her thumb as one

Then, she raise her index finger as two as she continues

"Second, you've failed to crushed Nihin's resistance from the Revolutionary Group, and let the back bone of Nihinese Revolutionary grows until the right time comes"

"And, caused we and even yourself, to lost Nihin on the process"

Then, she finally lifts her middle finger, finally noting Beastrion's biggest mistakes

"And third, you're not able, to locates the Crown Princess of Nihinese Imperial Family, Nishimura Yui"

"Which, indirectly, leaves an very huge power vacumm within the Nihinese people, despite the puppet government being the official government of Nihin"

"And, the fact that you does not make an concrete enough explanation of how Crown Princess Yui died on the Attack Of Takuyura"

"And, never clarified this matter, not even to the rest of us"

"This is, one of the worst, decision, Beastrion Empire had ever made" Says Elise as she points her index finger, directly towards Alexander

Then, Okami Republic's, Artheria Federation's, and Nogrod Democratic Directorate's Foreign Affairs, The Coalition's biggest economy power besides Beastrion Empire, also raised their hand

*Republic Of Okami and Artheria Federation's Ministry Of Foreign Affairs, Kaskyr Ospanov and Wilhelm Von Garven*

The one to first speaks is Kaskyr Ospanov, an tall humanoid grey wolf shaped, with its unique grey-browned furs due to desert origins in Central Pangia, Kaskyr's eyes pupil narrowed

"The loss of Nihin, has caused an global panics on Furesion affected materials companies like Ironfunium, Lurifusion and Coffurer"

"From last research, nearly 20% countries in the world right now depends on Sea of Karhitan's Nishi Islands Mining sites due to its maturity in infrastructure and staffs qualities"

"And, from what i heard last time, our F&M Corp and Artheria's Prime Axis Company, has lost their evidence of ownership of those mining sites due to The Revolution"

"And, right now? The world was already shifting to Southern Confederation Of Dwarfian and Chilean Federation, for those materials"

"This could led to an global recession including to all of us, and, gives Nihin an path to rebuilding" Says Kaskyr with a hint of urgency for solutions as he adressed the instability of critical materials markets shifting

*Nogrod Democratic Directorate's Foreign Affairs Minister, Gozorb Tehru*

Gozorb, while the shortest among anyone in the table, he was almost as feared as Kasykr, despite being only half of Kaskyr as he speaks, after was given permission by Wilhelm to speaks first

"Alexander, what Kaskyr says its the reality right now, my other Dwarf races led nations rivals, such as Chilean Federation and Southern Confederation Of Dwarfian, has became very increasingly tight"

"And now? Elven Dynasty, with its new discovered raw crystalized furesion, maturing infrastructures and new method and technology of Furesion extraction"

"Could, threathen my country's dominance in Pangia and Afrius furesions markets, which was world's critical economic sectors"

"Plus with their recent new alliances with Southern Confederation Of Dwarfian in economy and military, and their recognition of Nihin Federation"

"Its already indicating, Elvenians are preparing to try challange our influence, and forcing the world into an multipolar world" Says Gozorb as he slides a files of his own to Alexander across the table

Alexander then pick up the file and opens it, and showing Nogrod's Intellegence analysis results from the growing tigther Elven and Dwarfian relationship

As Alexander analyzing, he sees more signs and indication of potential Elven Dynasty and Southern Confederation Of Dwarfian

In one of the pages, he sees an news about Elven's new foreign laws, where it stated, that who ever that affiliates with Beastrion's colonization over Komissariat of East Naru and Nihin

Will be restricted from crossing their teritory in Sea of Medutroyian, Sea of Rifts, and Medu-Rif Canal, which can be resulting on less demands of Okamis and Nogrods goods

And, another page showing the latest declaration of recognition over the country of Nihin Federation by Queen Slyvivy Myrolava and King Herfulis Myrolava

Which, will pressing their position in the global stagr even more, as more big powers starting rising

Then, finally, Artheria's Foreign Affairs Ministry, an human mixed elves shaped race, forged extreme survival trait due being in Animalia races dominated planet's region, finally speaks

It voice carries sense of authority heavier than any other spoken delegates in the room, on par with Alexander's authority aura

*Artheria's Ministry Of Foreign Affairs, Wilhelm Von Garven*

"Now, what i'm about to talks about, will be a shocking news i'm about to deliver into this table, understood?" Says Wilhelm as he pulls out an text from his suit, its green eyes stared directly to everyone in the room

Alexander then nods, signaling for Wilhelm to deliver the news from Chancellor Furishi

Wilhelm then nods before reading the letter from Chancellor Furishi Varisky, his voice is packed with profesionalism

"Following the recent Nihinese Revolution and Dissolution of Puppet State Of Nihingo Government"

"I, Furishi Varisky, have decided, to take an action in order to save Artheria's domestic stability and economy"

"With the current approval fro myself, my Vice Chancellor Erika Fischer, and the current votings and pending from the Artheria Federal Parliament members and Federal President"

"Republic Federation of Artheria, have considering of downgrading our membership"

"Down from Full Membership, to Allied Partnership status, in order to prevent civil unrest, economic recession, and political backlash due to increasing tension in current geopolitics"

The letter from Furishi shocked the whole table, Artheria was world's second largest economy, with Artheria considering to degrade its membership status inside the Coalition...

The Coalition have an very big chance of facing declines in popularity and influence over the global economy and geopolitics

The rise of Elven-Southern Dwarfian alliance and recognition of Elven Dynasty over Nihin Federation, will fasten the decline

The current global orders have always looks up to the North, which are often called "The Northen World Order", now might starts to diverts into multipolar world

This is a threat to their 3 Centuries of hegemony, as the centre of the world and role model for countries

Elven Dynasty are world's third largest economy, and world's largest producing and exporters of Furesions variant and Oil

Controlling over 1 third of of both global Furesion and Oil, and starting dominating the Furesion affected materials after Nihinese Empire's fall and Puppet State Of Nohingo's dissolutions

With their current recognition to Nihin Federation, this is are potentially opening an oppurtunity of both countries to finally reconcile, bringing two of the most largest holder of Furesion and affected material reserves into the same faction

On the other hand, Southern Confederation of Dwarfian are the country with the fastest economic growth, rising rapidly in manufacturing sectors due to its minimal damaged infrastructure after Devided World War...

The massive population of Dwarf race, which known for one of the best for metalurgy and raw materials downstreaming...

And the current rapid modernization of their industry, now Southern Confederation of Dwarfian rapidly transforming into the raw materials downstreaming industry hub, now challanging Nogrod

And, thats not even accounting the rise of other southern countries such as Chilean Federation, Atlantian Kingdom, Republic of Nusan, United States Of Elvanian, and more countries rising after finishing their post-war internal conflict

And starting their own modernization and reformation after 45 years of world conflict during the Devided World War

Then, Alexander, after a brief thinking, he finally takes a deep breath, calming himself down as he finally adressing the Coalition's delegators

"Ahem, may i have your attention here?" Says Alexander with a calm, but firm tone

All the delegators finally diverts their attention back to Alexander after a chaos of realizing their global influence is slowly fading out

Alexander then starts explaining, that the Imperial Family of Beastrion, alongside with him and Beastrion Military, have actually thought about this scenario, and have prepared a plan

He explains, ever since the Devided World War slowly coming to an end in 2842, the southern big powers have fastens the peace making process in their regions

Which, made the Devided World War in southern world ended in 2841, a year earlier than Beastrion does with Nihin and Jasunaru, and a year ahead of start for rebuilding

That leads to conclusion in the government, that the southern big powers such as Elven Dynasty and Southern Confederation Of Dwarfian

That has huge influence over countries in Afrius, South Amerius, Southeast and East Pangia after the Devided World War due to increasing fear over the Coalition

The case with Southeast and East Pangia is an specific, neutral countries such as Atlantian Kingdom, Republic Of Velanian and Union Of Indchi are fearing the Coalition's intervention on their regions

After Nihinese Empire and Jasunaru Dynasty fell to Beastrion's occupation, the neutral countries technically have their home infront of Beastrion's military door step

And, knowing this fear over the Coalition, Elven Dynasty and Southern Confederation Of Dwarfian decided, that the world must stop only looks to The Coalition, and starts their own faction to battles Coalition's hegemony and influence

Hearing this analysis, almost all the delegators except for Wilhelm is in absolute shock due to how deep is Beastrion's military analysis

Karl Francois is the first one to recover, and immediatly asks Alexander about how come Beastrion can planned this deep, yet are not able to anticipated Nihinese Revolution

Alexander then explains, that the puppet government in Nihin, was already extremely opressive and brutal against Nihin itself

At first, its to force the peoples of Nihin into succumbing eventually, and begged to just be annexed by Beastrion, even though it was preasured by the Emperor themself to annexs Nihin, in order to secure the furesion-affected materials sites

But, just a few months into the occupation, the former Nihin Imperial Army and volunteers, have formed an resistance group, and have put an fierce fights against Beastrion Occupation Army

He realized, that at this rate, just 5 years into the occupation, the cost of occupying Nihin will be already equalivient to quarter of Beastrion's annual national budget

Which, will bankrupt Beastrion's finance, and caused an mass protest and civilian unrest, plus an distrust to the government

And, after a secret meeting with the Emperor, Alexander and The Emperor have able to made an decision to preventing the bankruptcy, and the collapse of Beastrion's influence

By giving the puppet government's Autonomy Rights, Beastrion will able to prevent an total backlash of this inevitable events

And, by letting Kouhmah to govern the puppet goverment, he have made an net to catch all the brutal and controversial figures of the Beastrion government and military

And, let them to dig their own grave inside of Nihin, succesfully to indirectly, "cleaning" the Beastrion government and military

And, can began an restructuring inside the Beastrion government and military

And also, successfully reduce the damages on Beastrion main military and government's reputation and prestige even with the surprise factors as Darius

Frames it as most of it are result of the puppet government's incompetence, corruption and mistakes

And again, the delegators was shocked again by this analysis, this is an very deep anticipation and careful planning made by Beastrion government and military...

But, Alexander still admits that he never knows about Tanaka Kouhei or Nishimura Yui's survival, and Kuhre that turns out possessed by an ancient Vampire General of Darius

He then says that he knows Nihinese Revolution is always been inevitable, he knows how unstable is Beastrion's control over Nihin actually are

Even though theyre able to erase the Nihinese Imperial Family from their throne, and exile The Imperial Court Of Axinus Family to Northen Nihin

But, the former Nihinese Imperial Army and many of its youth are rebellling against the Puppet Government, and throughout the occupation

The fighting increasing, especially in medium town and rural area, hiding among the mountains that stretch from Axinus Islands, Mura Island, and the Nishi islands

That will eventually, caused an national revolution, and dissolutes the puppet government

But, with the rise of Kouhei and reveals of Nishimura Yui's survivals, Nihinese people finally have something to finally lead them to freedom

Which caused his prediction of Nihinese Revolution is off by a few years, even with the puppet state's demoralizing tactics

Then, Alexander also reminding, that Nihin, even under their occupation, is among one of the most heavily armed country in the world

If only counting islands nations, Nihin is the most heavily armed island nation in the world, due to the empire's old legacy and now possesesing the puppet state's military hardware

"Under that conditions, retaliates militarily, isnt an primary option, due to how armed is the nation currently, and their current rise of nationalism"

"And, invading at time like this, means we Beastrion also risking Komissariat State Of East Naru to follows Nihin's blueprint for resistance and revolution planning and risk of more international preasures" Says Alexander, as he noting firmly that retaliates militarily is not an primary option

Then, Alexis speaks, his voice is firm, demanding an answer, not an excuse

"Then, what is you and Beastrion government have planned for this scenario? The next Confederation Of Nations international meeting is in 2 month"

Then, Karl Francois speaks too, his voice now is more stable and controlled

"Alexander, the next meeting is crucial, because if Nihin Federation will able to get a stage after the Elven Dynasty's recognition and the permission to attend from the Comissioners"

Then, just in time, an officer with an file on their hand, escorted by several soldiers enters the room, and goes straight to Alexander

The officer hands Alexander the file, saluting him before finally leaves the room escorted again

Alexander nods as the officer and the soldiers escorting them leaving again

Elise tilts their head, and then speaks again with a hint of curiousity

"Intresting, perhaps the plan is in the file in your hands?"

Alexander then looks at Elise, and nods, confirming her suspicion

"Well, ladies an gentlemen, this is, the answer you've been waiting for..." Says Alexander slides the file into the tables infront of him

.....

Meanwhile, very far above, further even to the highest coulds on the planet, even near the outer space...

Oruvi, by riding her sytche, was observing the Coalition's movements below her

"Eh~? So, theyre starting to make a move, huh?" Says her with an sinister tone as she leans more to the sytche

"This will be very intresting, Kouhei has strictened me from engages whatever i want, and allows only to observes their movement for now..." Says her as her fingers brushes her chin in an amused mixed with sinister tone

"So now, he will be mostly at his own this time"

"Im curious, what will he do this time? Well, lets see if he was true to his words..." Says Oruvi as she opens Portal back to Spirit Dimension, and slowly enters the portal

"I want to know how this is will turns out at the end~..."

Before finally vanishes into inside of the Spirit Dimension...
