5679: Shar-Mearvi Conference (Xsampa - Tel Bira)

[Elena1012]

Richen Shar, Commissar of Foreign Affairs, Democratic Republic of Xsampa

Yes, we're.. aware of our predicament and the ask we're making. It's a big ask. I do apologize for calling you Comrade, it is simply a force of habit from my homeland. I'm more than aware that Haifbourg will be more of a liability to the Democratic Republic, especially with it being well within the sphere of the Jelbosphere. Unlike the former state of Beitenyu however, there is no ill will with the Jelbosphere. Which means we're fully open to negotiating there to ensure cordial, cooperative relations.  We're prepared for whatever concessions that may mean. With the Jelbosphere, however.

Our mutual alignments, are in stability and peace. We both certainly don't want chaos in the Red Bass Ocean. That harms both of us. A stable, calm Red Bass Ocean benefits us both. We get peace and stability at home, you get stability and profits.

You want to get rid of the last vestiges of Beitenyu, what better way than closing old wounds, and opening the door for a... Profitable future. One without grudges to disrupt trade. And what nation would be better for removing the last memories of Beitenyu than us?

I do understand that this means entanglement. I understand that absolutely. I'm more than happy to play ball with the Triad Republic and the Jelbosphere. They're in positions to negotiate. And we'll happily negotiate in good faith. 

So, let us compromise once more, in the name of... Capital, and peace. We will join the Migrants Accords. A peaceful Migrants Pass is within our interests. We will gladly work with the Jelbosphere, and the Triad Republic on keeping the Pass safe for all trade. We will not join Vamaj. However, Haifbourg will remain as we originally proposed. 15 year integration. We will accept your request to position a fleet at Rishon Le Hofesh. We will also guarantee special privileges, and rights, for all Yeudis in Haifbourg upon integration, and Haifbourg will have... Special economic privileges. Enough to not disrupt trade within the region. You'll get your networks completely unopposed in Haifbourg. As for the rest of Xsampa, basic economic ties can be established. Finally, the fleet in Rishon Le Hofesh, we will make sure that they're coordinated with you, and the rest of the 3PF.

That's my offer.

From where I see it, we can both walk away with a good deal. Yeudis are protected, not persecuted like they would be in say, Valruzia. Trade is kept stable, safe and secure, and Haifbourg would get new opportunities for development and trade. Which means more profit for you. We end an old grudge from 80 years ago, and ensure future profits aren't threatened. And, we both walk away telling the world we did the impossible and achieved peace. Permanently.

Alternatively, we can walk away. You can leave the conference. I can leave the conference. We go home empty handed, and then what? The Red Bass Ocean will be another proverbial grenade waiting to happen. What's to happen to trade and profits then? Or what if another Malivia Crisis ever emerges? Wouldn't it be better to have an extra hand to help secure it even quicker? We both have a big choice to make. The world is watching, aren't they? Let's make a good choice and make history for better.

I have no interest in going back on my word and slamming the door if we achieve a deal. It would be easy, but I'd rather not. Nor do I have any interests in flying home empty handed. We can make history, or we can show the world that we haven't learned a thing since 5599.
