The Imperial Council of the Ruthenia Empire was supposed to have a session about immigration issues happening in the Manchuria region. It was the main agenda and was scheduled for a session in the second week of January. However, an atrocious incident sparked at the border of Manchuria where a revolutionary militia known as the Boxers indiscriminately and deliberately fired upon Hanese citizens trying to cross the border. This prompted an emergency session where the Emperor of the Ruthenia Empire, Alexander Romanoff, cut off his trip and went back to St. Petersburg to attend the session.
The Ruthenian Government responded with a fire of its own to protect the Ruthenian citizens behind the gate of the border, as well as to stop the massacre happening before it. It killed all the militias armed with armored vehicles and technicals.
