Nihonkoku Shoukan: Tales of Belka

Chapter 3: "Prelude to war"

Principality of Kua Toine. 0900hrs. 7 March, 1639

Two months have passed since the country of Belka has been transferred into another world. Belka almost immediately got in contact with the Principality of Kua Toine, and creating friendly relations between the two nations. The two countries have established a peaceful relationship, this relationship resulted into free trade between the two nations.

Belka submitted their requests for the export of a tremendous amount of food from Kua Toine to Belka, this was no problem for Kua Toine, due to the producing more food than what Belka have requested. The only issue that was present was the transportation of these goods from the farmlands to the ports.

Belka who will be receiving an import of goods, will also return a favor by providing infrastructure to Kua Toine, such as flat seamless roads to connect cities with one another more effectively, and large-scale railroads to provide the Kua Toinians a better and more efficient distribution system.

The Kua Toinian representatives requested for all sorts of different kinds of technology, however Belka has passed a new law to prevent the leak of core technologies, the representatives also tried requesting the export of Belkan weapons, the export of very old weapons are still in the process of hearing back in Belka up to this day, so Belka just offered the services of their military whenever the need for it arises.

Belka did export technologies that would mostly benefit the day to day lives of the people of Kua Toine, such as a better water pumping technology, which ensures that everyone gets a clean supply of water that is also safe for consumption, small power stations are also erected around Kua Toine, this provided electricity for many homes in Kua Toine, the convenience of lighting up the night's darkness with new lighting systems gave a better living situation for a lot of people, there is also the export of basic gas burners which not only produce fire on demand, but also the capability to have heated water.

Prime Minister Kanata looked from outside his window and smiled, it has only been two months, yet the Belkans already elevated the lives of so many people within their nation. He was giddy seeing Belkan technologies gave the nation preposterous national improvements in such a short time.

“Products of such high quality from the country called Belka are so wonderful! There is no doubt that Belka clearly tops not just the Third and Second Civilization areas, Belka's technology surpasses even those from the First civilization area!”

Kanata couldn't help but chuckle at the words of his secretary as he kept a level head on how much Belka has already done for them in just two months.

“I feel so relieved, to find out they are more or less pacifists. Despite having denied the request for export of arms, they did compensate this by providing a sizable military force to help in protecting the borders of our nation.”

“It does indeed put my heart at ease, knowing that we have a powerful ally to help us counter the threats coming from Louria”

Kingdom of Louria, Royal Capital Jin Hark. 1936hrs. 7 March, 1639

It was a quiet and cool evening, the moon shining down beautifully, illuminating the night landscape. Torches lit a dark room where the future of the nation was being discussed before the king.

“Milord, all of the preparations are now complete”

A man clad in silver armor knelt before the king and gave out his report. He was a black-bearded man in his thirties and he was well built to the point his muscles were noticeable even through his armor. This was General Patajin.
