*a day later, Tschow Konrad held a meeting with his close circle again* Tschow Konrad : "We have few friends but many foes surrounding us, waiting to crush our Revival. [u]Raising some homies and comrades in American soil[/u] would not make much of a difference. The feudal warlords are eager to take back our lands and enslave us again. The capitalist bankers want to suck all our wealth and prosperity like the parasites they are. Triads are also all over the place, too." Deowrig : "But I think we have found not just one, but two allies for us." Sithou Ahmad : "Who are they, if I may ask?" Deowrig : "They are from different planets, if you don't mind. One is the [b][u]Aranor Confederacy[/u][/b], from Vestroya; and the other is the [b][u]Empire of Harkyiu[/u][/b], from Alastorn." Deowrig : "The Aranor Confederacy holds many ideals very alike to our own. Their nation of Aranor has been great friends with our Whampoan nation since ages ago. Whampoa and the two Aranorian countries fought alongside one another during the last war. And their recent revolution is very much alike our Revival, rising up against feudal warlords and petty democrats. They too, seek to expand and fight those Ignorants as we do." Deowrig : "The Empire of Harkyiu is a dominion of the Triads as we know, but we have no choice but to strike a deal with them. They need us for their conquest, and we need them for the chaos feeding our Revival. Harkyiu might not share our dreams, but it's a good, strong partner for they share many of our foes. And we are strong enough to resist any attempts of theirs to overthrow our Revival." Deowrig : "And best of all, both are powerful nations, powerful enough to challenge our foes but not too powerful to challenge ourselves. With their help, we will finally get rid of the warlords and banksters -- and unite all of Whampoa under the banners of Revivalism. Who knows, maybe with their help, we shall spread the winds of change and revival all over the world!" Tschow Konrad : *smiled* "Very great!" *after a brief check, Tschow Konrad grinned even happier* Tschow Konrad : "Send ambassadors to the Aranor Confederacy and the Empire of Harkyiu. Whampoa -- the new Whampoa of Revivalism -- would like to establish long-lasting friendships with these two nations." [h1]===============[/h1] [@BirdOfParadise] *a team of ambassadors and soldiers were sent to pay a visit to the Aranor Confederation* Messenger : "Greetings, Aranorians. We are ambassadors hailing from the new Whampoa, the new Whampoan Reich of Revivalism. We are here seeking to establish long-lasting relations with your nation." [h1]===============[/h1] [@Paillan] Somewhere in the occupied United States of America, the American Revival Society was founded. It was a seemingly innocuous society, but something's not quite right. Not long after that, street walls began to get defaced with weird murals and graffitis, most of them being [u]blue circles each with a yellow sun of twelve rays inside[/u]. A few peaceful rallies against "capitalism" and "globalism" arose within American soil as well.
