Dear MPs of the Socialist Party of the GNF,

While Durick Veta and Socialism have never been on good terms, I congratulate your victory in parliament. Whilst I cannot in good concionous say I agree with socialist princepals, I admire the courage your party has shown by taking a step towards a more free society, at least in civil rights.

In the spirit of the end of imperialism, I would kindly ask that my government be granted more autonomy over occupied Veta. I hope to see good relations between our two nations.

Sincerly,
President Thomas Bird of the New Republic of the Quebec-Montreal Corridder

***

Dear Emperor Kristophe Xavier,

I am as disgusted with the changes in the GNF as you must be. The French socialists will ruin occupied Veta and ruin all religious institution: I would bet millions of Americos that they intend to outlaw religion period. I beg of you, to either personally take occupied Veta as part of Kasnyia or grant us independence.

Sincerly,
President Thomas Bird of the New Republic of the Quebec-Montreal Corridder

With the regime change in GNF, things began to change in Occupied Veta.

Marshal Louis Broussard who, while cagey, was not all that authoritarian, had been relieved of his post byu the Socialist government and replaced by Marshal Anton Proust, who had a personal vendetta against the Vetans and immediately enacted draconian measures not only against the occupied state, but against the independant corridor as well.

Soon, those who were against the socialist doctine now being enforced even in the occupied areas were being imprisoned in Toronto, while resources and trade were being diverted from the independant corridor to GNF for their own personal use.

Within three weeks, Veta was starving.

The Kasnyian forces in the area were oblivious, as they personally did not check upon the Vetans and instead based their assumptions on the (now doctored) reports on the treatment of Vetans. To make matters worse, the Kasnyian Intelligence Service in the Occupied territories had to divert their attention to the possible conflict about to break out in Henreald, and thsu could not pay attention to the inconsistancies of the French Occupational Army's doings.

In the independant corridor, the lack of supplies and theft of material from the French had left this moderately well-to-do area in a state of emergency. Riots were breaking out all over, and if they didn't quiet down, Bird was sure that the Occupiers would retaliate. He also figured out long ago that the French were keeping the Kasnyians in the dark.

If only he could get in contact with the Government...with the Emperor....

Dear Emperor Kristophe Xavier,

My Lord, the situation in Veta is dire. I beg of you, send a military scouting team (without warning to the French) into occupied Veta and see what horrors they reek upon us. Please, relieve the French of their duties!

Sincerly,
President Thomas Bird

Proust had known that the only remaining authority of the old Veta would immeidately try calling foul to the Kasnyians and immediately started to seize anything that came out, including two letters being sent by Bird directly to the Emperor.

Marshal Proust would make it clear that the Vetans were not going anywhere soon.

It should be made clear that we have new intention of banning religion in schools or anything in Veta. We will continue to help the Vetans reconstruct their country and promise to increase the number of troops there. Make no mistake that we will respect all religious beliefs in Veta.

Another week. No response. Than another. It was obvious that the French had intercepted Bird's letters. it was time to take matters into his own hands. He turned to one of his aides. "Get me an armed car with armed guards, please."

"Yes sir," the aide responded. "Where to?"

"The Kasynian military base." Bird retrieved one of his prized rifles from his collection. He slung it across his back and waited for the car to arrive. It did. It was going to be a long ride.

After a day and a half on the road, less than a mile from the military base, a French soldier stopped the car in its track. "Monsieur, where do you think you are going?"

"The Kasynian military base, soldier," Bird replied. "I'm President Bird."

"I can see that. Now please turn around and leave. You are not permitted to go any further or I will be forced to shoot you."

"I have diplomatic immunity, even in this occupied territory." He allowed his rifle to be visible to the soldier for a split second. "I suggest you don't create an...international incident, or I shall be forced to defend myself."

"Ah...go through then....monsieur." As the car drove away, the soldier cursed the capitalist pig to hell.

As the Vetans arrived at the Kasynian base, they pleaded their case, asking them to send out a team to observe the horrors of the French.

The Kasnyian military base in Toronto was the only area in Occupied Veta that had a sizable Kasnyian force. They were mostly their due to provisions in the treaty (unneccessary to the soldiers their) that stated that a Kasnyian military force must oversee the occupation at all times.

They were surprised ,to say the least, when President Bird's limosine radioed in for clearance.

Not thinking of any objextion why not, they accepted. Within an hour, the former commander of the enemies military was going to visit them.

--------------------

The French soldier was not stupid. He knew that nothing...Not even the President of Veta...could exit or leave without the Marshal knowing. And so, informing him, he found that he had been given a call not moments later by the Marshal himself.

The order was simple. He was to stop the car, no matter what the cost.

A French police car followed the Vetan car. F*ck though Bird. Suddenly, he heard bullets shooting through the window. One of the windows splintere.

"THE FRENCH ARE TRYING TO STOP US!" Bird said! "Radio Kasynia and start shooting! Fire! Fire!"

The Vetan's driver sped ahead as Thomas opened a window. He unslung his rifle and fired a slug at the window. It didn't do much but splinter glass.

"It's bullet proof!" he shouted as his guard fired with automatic AK-47s. He fired another shot, aiming for a tire. Civilian cars tried to avoid the fighting cars, with good success. Bird took a shot at the tire and missed.

Bird stopped exposing himself through the window. "PUNCH IT!" he shouted to the driver. The car's speed went faster. They were less than half a kilometer from the Kasnyian's base: they could make it.

Kasnyian Base Radioroom...

Kasnyian Radioman- Commander!

Kasnyian Captain- What?

Kasnyian Radioman- Just got a transmission on the emergency band from Bird. Apparantly he's being chase by the French Police.

Kasnyian Captain- WHAT!

Kasnyian Radioman- Yeah...I dunno what to make of-

Kasnyian Captain- Forward trasmission to the CO.

Kasnyian Radioman- Yes sir!

-------------------------------------

More French cruisers had joined the chase, and were now hot on the heels of the limo. They had also started to barricade the roads in and out of Toronto. Bird and his limo would have to go around the long way. Not good.

Meanwhile, in the French Administration Office, Marshal Proust was intent on stopping the Vetan President.

He ordered the APCs to enter the city. He wanted the limo down and out as soon as he could.

French police were catching up to the limosuine (the car was not built for speed) as they approached the base entrance. At the entrance itself, Kasnyian guards were dismayed. They didn't know who to shoot...and so they merely stayed with their weapons at ready, keeping a bead on everyone..

Meanwhile, Bird was quickly trying to shoot out the tires of the French cruisers tailing them, sometimes hitting, sometimes missing, the car being so wobbly from it's various fender benders. At the same time, he was dictating to hgis secretary to write down all the things that were going on in Occupied Veta.

It wasn't going to be a straight path, as over one hundred french police vehicles were blockading the entrance to the base in multiple lines. Proust had made it clear that they wre not to let Bird inside dead or alive.

Bird saw this and headed for the nearby freeway, hoping that the cruisers in the blockade would chase him so that he could double back and make another approach. He would only have one chance to do this as his car was taking multiple beatings.

Bird turned to the driver. "Ram the barricade. Ram it as fast as you can. For Veta!" The car zoomed into the French car barricade. Two French police cars were rammed to the side. The armored nature of Bird's car allowed it to survive more or less unscathed, but it stalled out for a split second. This was enough for a Frenchmen to take out the tires.

"Give me covering fire!" Bird shouted, forcing open the door. One of his guards, toting an AK-47, began firing randomnly at the French police as Bird made a run to the base. Three Frenchmen were killed in the fire. The others took cover, trying to get a shot off on the guard.

One of the Kasnyian soldiers ran out, his rifle pulled up! "The French are trying to kill us!" shouted Bird. The Kasnyian had always been suspicious of the French, and did not point his rifle at Bird. One of the base commanders ran out, carrying an automatic weapon.

"Get in here!" he yelled to Bird. Suddenly, the constant sound of AK-47 fire stopped. One of the Frenchmen had gotten a shot off at the guard. He was dead. The Frenchmen was military: he was holding a rifle. He quickly took a look at Bird running to the base entrance and fired.

The bullet hit Bird in the back throwing him to the floor. Thomas coughed up blood as the French soldier took aim for the head. Before he could fire, the Kasynian commander fired three bullets in the air. "Get the Hell away from him!" he shouted. "Or I'll shot you where you stand!"

The Frenchman backed off, lowering his rifle, glaring at the commander. The commander turned to Bird as he pushed his last words out. "Those Frenchies...they've been starving and slaughtering my people-they socialists were harrassing the capitalists, and then *cough* when the Emperor came back to power, they've been harrassing the non-Catholics. They shot some Jews shouting "Christ Killers!" I saw it with my own eyes! Send- *cough* send out an observation team now! Please! Don't *cough* let me...death...be...in....vain." With that, President Bird of Veta breathed his last.

The Kasynian commander sent out an observation team as soon as possible and had the French soldier arrested. As soon as the results came back, the French soldier made a bolt for it. The Kasynian was happy to fill him with lead.

It was madness. Total madness. The giant force of French police and military police were now congregated outside of the entrance of the Kasnyian military base. And after what the dead man whispered into the Kasnyian soldier's ear, the word spread like wildfire throut the base.

Suddenly the French were scared. And had every right to be.

At once Danz was informed of the incident AND given a transcript word for word of what President Bird had said. Immediately he brought up a line with Viceroy Harzmann.

Field Marshal Danz- Viceroy, there has been an incident.

After several minutes of reiterating what happened.

Viceroy Harzmann- How could we have let things get out of hand...

Field Marshal Danz- Agreed, sir.

Viceroy Harzmann- WHY didn't your men shoot Bird's car out of the sky?

With that Danz paused and mulled over what he just said. Then it became obvious. It had been the Viceroy after all who had put the harsh terms on the Vetans for surrender due to his own attitudes formed and hardened by the war.

With that he apologized for disturbing him and cut the line. He then dialed another number....

-------------------

Haddenfeldt Palace, Guranburg

The Emperor had been reading his daily news reports regarding foreign relations throughout the world when Field Marshal Poole suddenly burst in the door.

Emperor Kristophe Xavier I- What's going on? What are you doing here?

Poole quickly bowed.

Field Marshal Poole- Your Majesty, I just recieved a most alarming communique from Danz. Bird has been murdered.

Emperor Kristophe Xavier I- I take it the circumstances of it were extraordinary?

Field Marshal Poole- He was gunned down at the entrance gates of the military base in Toronto. What's more interesting is that Bird had been trying to get an audience with Danz...so that he could meet you. Apparantly he wished to tell us about French oppression in the occupied areas.

Emperor Kristophe Xavier I- What?!

Field Marshal Poole- Indeed. Apparantly Bird's secretary had an entire file case full of papers regarding these apparant crimes.

Emperor Kristophe Xavier I- I don't believe this...what about Harzmann?

Field Marshal Poole- Danz went to him first. Apparantly Harzmann didn't care too much.

Emperor Kristophe Xavier I- Not surprising. The war has clouded his judgement when it comes to Vetans....so then he sent it to you?

Field Marshal Poole- Yes, your Majesty.

Emperor Kristophe Xavier I- I will not tolerate this. I will not allow some foreigner ruin Kasnyia's pristine reputation for treating enemies well. Get me Hein.
