Zellonian Empire, March 1920
Zellonia’s Homefront
The people on the coast of Zellonia were hit hard by the storm. Much of the fishing ships in the area were wrecked and a new demand for good came from the main city. As such Mass production of consumer goods were produced to supply the demand for food and other needs. With all that was being sold prices rose and the government financially started making back what it lost.
Meanwhile back in Vernhelm, Gervonsire’s Naval Docks opened in mid march by Ethan Gervonsire. An industrialist who was very rich and held land in the colonies before they were forcibly taken away by the victors. He much like many citizens in Zellonia disliked the treaty that was forcibly signed. He also helped restore any fishing ships that had been destroyed by storm. The company even had multiple contracts from the government who hoped it would supply jobs to soldiers who previously fought in the Terrible war. The Company was going to be vital in restoring the Grand Zellonian Navy by producing new ships and updating current designs.
Zellonia’s Diplomats Abroad
Hugo Bernjurd’s adventure’s in Kafu
Hugo had been sent to Kafu to begin talks with their foreign Minister on a trade deal. He stayed in the lovely Jugo Hotel and would remain there for awhile until a proper embassy had been set up. While Hugo was there he got to know Yelsof Juring the Foreign Minister of Kafu, they spoke highly of each other and had Hugo would soon bring up the details of this Trade Deal which would have been Zellonia’s way of supplying Survaek’s neighbors with arms in case their old masters wanted the land. In return they would supply raw resources to Zellonia that would be used in said weapons amongst other things. Hugo had also been trying to convince the Zellonian king and Parliament to form a Non-Aggression pact and supply Kafu in case of war. However he hadn’t received news from his homeland in quite awhile so he had to continue postponing.
Brian Kerchek and the Treaty in Diyarbakir
Brian Kerchek during the great was a captain of the Dreadnought, Kelovington he had made quite the name for himself and destroyed multiple Soroyan vessels. However after the war he had wanted to get into politics. However as he didn’t come from a rich family but he had earned recognition in the war was granted an Ambassador position in the newly released nation of Diyarbakir. Much like Hugo Bernjurd’s job in Kafu. Brian had to open negotiations with Diyarbakit so Zellonia had some country that would need weapons especially to defend themselves from the Imperialist empire of Survaek. He would have to use fear tactics while not being to aggressive with their foreign minister, after all Zellonia had fought with Imperialist Survaek.
Ralf Vungton’s advances in the Osladin Empire
Former Colonel Ralf, was an elderly man who was more of a strategist and one of the key leaders who helped overrun the Ostruznica during the terrible war. A soft spoken man who was well respected. He was sent to Osladin to speak to the Foreign Minister about their plans especially after their empire was dismantled. If they had planned something Zellonia wanted to be informed and help them in any way they could.
Carver Wellington Honor’s Honneria
Carver, the son of a prominent parliament member was chosen to speak to Honneria mainly as a favor for his father. While Carver didn’t have the experience he had the money and the background as he was sent to his Grandmother to study abroad as well as look over the familiy business their. When he was their he had met prominent leaders of the country today and as such he was supposed to speak with Honnerian minister’s on trade deals, but also to soften relations after they had been on different sides during the terrible war.
Zellonian Empire, April 1920
Zellonia Rebuilds after the Great Defeat
After the defeat of Zellonia in 1919 and then the signing of the treaty of Parma in 1920 which caused most of the military to be disbanded along with the navy. However the empire knew it needed to rebuild its navy if it was to become a great power again. So it began to nationalize the dockyards and having companies design new ships for future expansion. Similarly, the factories within the main island were also nationalized and order to begin producing new goods for those within the cities as well as provide aide to citizens of Zellonia.
After the war and the need for soldiers diminished 15,000 soldiers from the standing army were moved into the reserves and headed back for civilian life and work in the factories when not training.
Zellonia’s future in the World
After the war and the loss of its colonies abroad it needed to find some nations who he could call friends and perhaps rely on. Naturally there were those who were on the Imperial Restoration Such as Osladian Empire, but there were also other strong naval powers such as Honneria, even though they part of the Primas Societas, they were still a force to be reckoned with especially at sea.
Zellonia also knew that with it’s massive industry that they could easily sell weapons to other countries especially those that had just came to be. As such Diplomats were sent to Kafu and Diyarbakir to discuss trade arrangements as well as a future power as their location near Survaek and as an island in between Centran and Faresia would be a vital trade line in the future.
(To be clear sending Diplomats to Kafu,Diyarbakir,Honneria and the Osladian Empire)
This seems like an interesting concept I suppose I'll throw in an interest.
This seems interesting. SO we'd each be one of those characters and try to gain power or am I missing something?
Zellonian Empire 1917
In the capital of Zellonia where the war had remained outside its borders, however the king has been pressured, not only by ambassadors but also his own advisors. Some say to join Survaek and take what is yours from soroya and how easy of a target the The Commonwealth of Ostružnica. Yet others say join Soroya and turn the tide of the war no longer could any nation question Zellonia’s might. It already had a sizable industry and her navy which comprised of 6 Dreadnoughts, 2 Battlecruisers, 10 Heavy Cruisers, 22 Light Cruisers, 39 Destroyers and 16 Submarines. The king ordered them all away and headed to his estate in the country with his family. There he spoke to them as equals “I believe it is a time for us to make a choice and join this war. Other nations already see us as weak when we join the winning side they could no longer say that. Us joining would be the turning point or the final blow depending on who we help. But before I do this, I want us all in agreement on who to support.” After several hours they had finally come to a decision. He ordered his admirals and Generals to begin writing invasion plans. He informed his advisors to begin drafting the declarations of war. Two weeks later he returned to the capital and they had begun the war.
On March 16th in 1917 the empire of Zellonia was at war with the Grand Union and sided with the Internationalists. The Grand fleet set out to The Commonwealth of Ostružnica where the invasion would begin.
Zellonia will choose Landgrab since I can't take Veteran Army.
Guys, don't forget we also have a chatzy. us21.chatzy.com/66780961327137
The great empire of Zellonia shall choose Great Navy.
@Theodorable As losing a trait seems really bad even if neutral's get a little bonus, I'll be taking Forced into War. Also as always The Empire of Zellonia is the name of mine.
