Chapter 14 - The 1st Year

Current Year (2019)

It has been a year since the Reveal of the Continent. The Empire has already spread it's influence throughout the world through the use of it's location and it's superior military technology.

During the 1st Month The Empire allowed various airline companies to travel to the Empire's airport's and allow tourists to Visit and explore the Empire.

And then for a week The Imperial Department of Transportation and supply had worked with the airline companies giving them air routes and the location's of various airport's in the Empire.

They also explained to them the places where the airspace was restricted to public use. And throughout that week after going everything the announcement of flight's to the New Continent was announced to the World in the second week of the first month.

The news of these flight's became the top story all over the world making the airline companies grow richer since to buy a ticket to the New Continent the price was more than 1k and that varied depending on how far you are from the Continent.

Private planes owned by the Rich of the world were also apart of the agreement with the airlines giving them the ability to fly there on their own without the need to use a public airline.

And by the last week of the first Month all flight's to the New Continent was booked.

It wasn't until the 2nd week of the 2nd month that the flight's actually started to begin.

The First flight's to land were at the Arcadia International Airport located in the Capital City of Arcadia.

Throughout the flight the tourists had seen the landscape of the Imperial cities and they were all taken by surprise since the cities looked futuristic.

Once they landed the tourists were handed temporary wrist devices called the G-7 which they would use to travel the Empire and not get lost.

And if they wanted to spend money they could deposit it into a nearby ATM where their money will be converted into the Empire's currency with a conversion rate of 1 to 1.

Meaning that no matter the currency if you deposited 1 dollar it will be 1 dollar, 20 dollars will be 20 in Imperial currency, and so on and so forth.

Of course this would affect the economies of the world but Jarvis didn't care since somebody should not have to spend 10x more money in another country just because they had money from their country that wasn't worth as much.

An example of this would be trying to use Japanese Currency in the US which will not give you a lot of money.

But anyways the tourists deposited a lot of money into their temporary account while some just kept their cash.

After depositing money most tourists didn't leave the airport as it just looked to amazing and it had many places where they could eat or rest after their long flight.

Only a small amount of them left the airport and had used their G-7 to call a Taxi to travel around the city.

The G-7 had many abilities one of which was an assistant that would help the person wearing it to find whatever they wanted and to help them during their stay in the Imperial city.

By the end of the second month planes ticket's to go to the New Continent was 1 of the most Wanted things by people of the world.

Entering the Third month is when the Smaller countries of the world contacted the Empire and made trade deals and other agreement's with them.

During this time the Empire was invited to join NATO which was a Massive Alliance created against the Russian Federation which was a communist State.

The Russian Federation constantly tried to expand their border's in the years before during the Cold War which resulted in a confrontation with the U.S. who wanted to stop the expansion of influence of the Russian Federation.

And now in the world today they are often blocked from expanding by NATO who always intervenes when the Russian Federation attempt's to expand.

Which is why they contacted the Empire to try and form a close relationship so that they can at least get a powerful ally in the world.

But back to the Empire. Many small countries had established Embassy's inside of the Empire to maintain a close relationship.

In the fourth Month the Empire which had only shown it's Navy to the world had finally released footage of the other branches of it's military as response to a rise in Pirate attacks near the shore's of the Empire.

Many Imperial Cargo ship's have already been attacked by pirate's and as a response Every Imperial Cargo ship would now send out a distress signal once attacked, and in 10 minutes or less depending on the location an Imperial Pelican would show up carrying Imperial soldier's.

Despite this pirate's still tried their best to attack the Imperial cargo ship's but no attack was ever successful.

The release of the video which showed the Imperial Military capabilities shocked the world since it showed that not only was the Imperial Military similar to that of the World power's it also showed that in term's of capability and technology it was superior.

The Major power's were surprised since they thought that the Empire was just another country like India where their military was modernized but it was not on par with the rest of the World power's. But now they were proved wrong.

Agent's from various countries were sent in to get some information on this technology. But their every move was being watched and as soon as they are caught looking at or gathering classified data the Shadow Agent's of the Empire will act and arrest the Agent's from the other countries.

For the rest of the 8 Months the Empire was able to get close to a lot of nation's and even started offering military support to some small nation's such as Austria.

Austria in this world was constantly being threatened by the Influence of other nation's, such as Italy who wanted gain access to the Balkans through Austria.

The Reason Italy chose Austria was because historically it was part of the Roman Empire which is something that Italy want's to restore.

The Empire had sent troop's and officer's, along with military equipment to Austria in order to honor their agreement and to boost the Austrian military.

Italy of course didn't like this and had sent a diplomatic protest but Jarvis just brushed it off and continued on expanding his influence.

-----

For the rest of the 8 months the Empire continued to gain popularity in the world and also influence since they were recognized as a major power and also they had a nuclear deterrent that would stop any nation from just declaring war on them.

Now entering the 2nd year it was on the 15th of January that Jarvis was contacted by one of the Chinese subjects Manchukuo.

Jarvis already knew the reason why, and that was that the Chinese people are tired of being subjects to the Japanese Empire and they want to form their own country.

Manchukuo was is the heir to the Qing Dynasty and which was the last time that China was united as one.

The Royal family and heir to the Chinese Throne is Zhao Shui who is 25 years old and is being held captive by the Japanese for attempting to start a coup and restore the Chinese Empire.

Now Manchukuo was being persecuted for going along with his plan's and Japanese troops have been more active inside of the subject state.

The Manchukuo government didn't want to be subject to the Japanese anymore but it due to decades of neglect the army of Manchukuo was not up to the task of starting a war with the Japanese Empire.

And all of the other countries didn't want to even help them so they could only ask The Empire since they seemed to be more helpful.

The Manchukuo Prime Minister was currently headed to the Capital of the Empire in order to talk with Jarvis but the Japanese Empire were already informed of this and they would not allow the meeting to transpire between the two so they contacted their embassy an issued an order to stop them at all costs.
