Mordusia requests talks about bases from Anatonese Empire

Government unhappy and unsure about Mordusian-Lodamese Alliance

August 5585

Rechtenberg – It came as a shock to all to hear that the Lodamese nation, an always fierce independent nation joined the Anantonese Empire. The Empire has for the last decade expanded its power and territory rapidly through shrewd and peacefull diplomacy, a true testament to its cultural influence and unifying force in the North of Seleya. However this does present a problem for the Commonwealth of Nations as the Commonwealth of Mordusia is part of the Luthorian World but is also an ally of Lodamun. To this end the Foreign Minister Harrold Edwinson with the approval of Sir Alfred Hawk, the Prime-Minister and Prince Louis, the Governor-General, invited representatives of Lodamun and Kalistan to hold talks with him and a representative of the Empire (Luthori).
 
Long have the Mordusians been allies of the Lodamese, in accordance with the strategy of binding itself to Seleyan nations who orbit the Luthorian world or have an interest in the region. Lodamun seemed eager to jump on this and act as a good military ally to fill the gab where our government had to make painfull cuts in the military to save the economy and the budget during the difficult times 30 years ago. However now the economy has significantly grown and investments in the military have begun to grow. The projection was that our forces would have to rely less on the Lodamese, that was until Lourenne began to focus less on the region and more on its empire. The Lodamese once more proved vital allies, building extensive military bases for their navy and airforce. With much enthusiasm of the Commonwealth Government, who saw this as a way to safeguard Mordusia on its eastern borders whilst it worked on rebuilding its airforce and army.
 
But then came the surprise. Lodamun joined the Anantonese Empire. An Empire which had a hostile past with Luthori, Likatonia and Mordusia. Through embargo’s and spheres of influence clashes the Holy Luthorian Empire and the Anantonese Empire. Agreements were made and peace was returned. The two Empires, both ancient in their own ways, have expressed interests in normalising relationships and respecting each other’s goals. However with Lodamun joining this Anantonese Empire it becomes a problem, giving their armies a foothold in a territory marked for the Commonwealth of Nations and Luthori. Also the worsening relations between Lodamun and Luthori have always sit unwell with the Commonwealth Government.
 
To this end the Foreign Minister and the Defence Minister have both stated their wish for their wish for an amicable resolution to this problem. The Defence Minister was more open about his wishes, he is well known for not being able to keep things quite. Minister Jeffrey Heart stated that ‘’It is our wish for them to leave our country. We respect them and want to work with them, Luthori is not in east, yet, however we do not feel comfortable with the Anantonese Empire holding bases in our nation, nor did we agree to this. We also find it unreasonable that Lodamun did this without considering the feelings of its partner, how would our alliance work?’’ after that the Foreign Minister Harrold Edwinson cut him off and said ‘’we have much to talk about, we cant forget the good past we have with them but we also need to see the reality of the matter. We made a deal with Lodamun, not the Anatonese Empire, that changes a lot and in our eyes the treaty has ended. The deal with Luthori and Kalistan also stands and Mordusia is keen on it being enforced’’. The Governor-General refused to comment saying ‘’this is a job for the cabinet to resolve, I have been briefed and have briefed Her Imperial & Royal Majesty the Empress & Queen’’.
