To celebrate the successful conclusion of the national revolution in Saaremaa and the significance this day marked for the Fennian-Saaremaan relations, the reception arranged for Marshal Miihkel Väinö did not lack in lavishness and pomp in any way. Having been escorted to the airport by a flight of Union Air Force fighter jets, upon departure from his aircraft Marshal Väinö was greeted by Stateholder Marshal Joakim Häyhä and Foreign Minister Kauko Vannas accompanied by a horde of Information Office reporters, a military honor guard and even a retinue of flag-waving schoolchildren that had been arranged from a National Unity Front- run elite school in Kalevala. The warm summer day gave its own touch to the formalities that had been arranged to welcome Marshal Väinö to Kalevala.

The Two Marshals Conference, as the Information Office called it in propaganda sent for publication of the Union Public Radio and various Fennian newspapers, foretold great promise for the Häyhists. Not only were the Saaremaans kin to the Fennian people in the great family of Fennic nations of Europe, but they had now discarded their old plutocratic trappings in a sequence of events very similar to the 1937 coup launched by then-Chief of the Defense Staff Häyhä and his compatriots in the Fennian military and the political right. The system being erected in Saaremaa was also appearing to be similar to that which had been set up by the National Unity Front, even if the Saaremaans seemed to have moderated their system in what some Kalevala insiders had declared a "centrist autocracy".

Actually, Marshal Joakim Häyhä had taken a personal interest in Saaremaa and its internal politics given the familiarity of the events unfolding in that country. Häyhä recognized that the Saaremaans had experienced conditions similar to those of the Fennians before his 1937 takeover, and the ails of a weak liberal democracy had been cured by strong leadership. Sixteen years later, the Fennian Union remained strong, and he saw it as a duty to ensure that the same would be experienced by the Saaremaans.

With Marshal Väinö and his retinue on their way from the airport in Häyhä's motorcade to the National Palace, they were also shown a quick - and indeed quick, with the Kalevala Police blocking off intersecting traffic - car tour of the capital, with Häyhä and Foreign Minister Vannas explaining to Marshal Väinö the various histories of Kalevalan areas and buildings they passed, whilst engaging in small-talk and the applause of the development and standards of living in the Fennian capital. Eventually came the National Palace and its Kekkonen Hall, often used by Häyhä in entertaining foreign visitors. The pleasantries done, now was the time to commence the talks between the two Marshals and their subordinates.

Vaino was glad that he finally had the chance to see Kalevala again after he visited it when he was a child, more than twenty years ago. He was wearing the ceremonial uniform of the Black Army, with a black jacket, cap and trousers, a white shirt and a dark blue tie.

The tour of the city brought sweet memories back from his childhood, as his mother was Fennic and every three to five years he would go to Kalevala to visit his grandparents. It was clear that much has changed in the Fennian capital since his visits and that the city was developed so much that only parts of the old town were recognizable.

As the motorcade was approaching the National Palace, Vaino remembered that this trip was for the people of Saaremaa and their wellbeing, so leaving behind the memories from his childhood; he concentrated on the issue at hand, the meeting with the Fennian leaders.
