Democratic Republic of Kadikistan
Two days ago, a world war almost began when a Kadikistani vessel came within range of the Carintho-Harkaner quarantine zone and nearly necessitated a military action that would have ended in an undesired fashion. This incident came very close to igniting a war that would have without doubt fundamentally altered the global stage and spelt doom for the Democratic Republic of Kadikistan or the Empire of Carinthia-Harkány, or both.
Let us now examine the current situation. The most recent intelligence reports that upwards of 200,000 Kadiki soldiers are along the border of Carinthia-Harkány and our own nation has placed 250,000 in response. These forces represent an initial deployment and both nations have the full capability of increasing those numbers at a rapid pace. That amounts to 450,000 soldiers currently and the potential for that number to increase to a million in the event of hostilities is a near guarantee.
What is also clear is that the international community is not siding with the Democratic Republic of Kadikistan. In the event of war, the best that Kadikistan can hope for is neutrality from foreign nations and the far more likely option is a declaration of war. The Propotine Empire is just one of such nations that have pledged support. The Varanasi Empire is one that is itching to expand its influence and if the Carinto-Harkaner and Kadiki nations are engulfed in a war, it is the perfect opportunity for a bloodthirsty empire to make its move.
This will result in millions of death, hundreds of billions if not trillions in damages, and an uncertain future for both of our countries. All of this will result from a nation whose fate is inconsequential to the survival of Carinthia-Harkány, save for international embarrassment. Still, our nations are forced to bolster themselves to the public to display our relative strengths.
This is why our Empire is requesting that diplomats from Kadikistan meet with diplomats from Carinthia-Harkány in a discreet location, away from the press, to begin negotiations of decreasing the tensions on the Gothic Sea. Amongst the topics discussed will be the policies regarding the quarantine in Milesia and decreasing the current troop deployments along the border.
This is not about weakness; it is about strength. If hostilities occur, that all perceptions of strength either country has will be replaced by the realities. Naturally, our countries will become weaker and all will suffer. A victor will arise, as in any military conflict, but the cost will be so great that a victory can hardly be declared. The time for posturing, show boating, and appealing to a base is over; it is time for both our leaders to move in the best interest of our people. We await the reply of the Kadikistani and hope that they see the merit in this proposal.
