10th of Arisian. 33rd NLC. House of the Eves, Vixenville. Greater Amazonian Republic. 08:00 of morning.
Here in the House of the Eves, which is actually the Official Residence of the Presidents, Vice-Presidents and etc. of the Greater Amazonian Republic. A meeting was in progress. Said meeting was about the fate of a "Special Project" with Lolilandia
?: So.... how's the Project Going on?
?: So far so good, Madam President. In 3 months or so it'll be ready. But I still wonder why they name it like that.
?: Because its a large stick that explodes literally?
?: Okay. Guess can't argue with that.
?: Makes me wonder why Lolilandia is rushing to built that. I mean they have more than enough amount of power.
?: Well. Here's a thing, General Shin. Remember Arghansus?
?: Ah!!!!!
?: Yeah exactly. It wasn't officially recorded but it says the participating Joint Troops lost 20 of them.
?: That much, Foreign Minister Joo?
?: Yes, I'm afraid.
The room was filled with murmurs.
?: Okay. This meeting is concluded.
Everyone bows down and went back to their respective offices. Meanwhile.....
Scarlet Hills. Northern GAR. 09:00 of morning.
It was another day of work for ECCAP Official of the country - Park Nabi-Hye.
Nabi: Another day another work. Another stress. Sheesh. *sips*
?: Uh, Miss Park. Here's your breakfast.
Nabi: Ah. Thank you. Leave it here.
?: Good day, Miss Park.
And while Nabi was having her breakfast, a phone ring.
Nabi: Who's calling this time? Uh yes?
?: Yo. Sis. It's me.
Nabi: Nabang? Dafuq you call me for?
Nabang: Are you in the Capital?
Nabi: No. I'm here at my Office.
Nabang: Thank goodness then.
Nabi: Did I miss something here?
Nabang: Ah eh.... N-no you didn't. You didn't hahaha.

Nabi: If you don't need anything then stop calling me okay.
Nabang: Okay. Here's the sauce. Vice-Premier Charlene Higgins from Lolilandia will be visiting The House of the Eves next week?
Nabi: Ah. But what "thank goodness" even mean hmmm?
Nabang: I. I was gonna ask you if you have free time on that day.
Nabi: Ehhhh? So you wanna see me or hang out or what?
Nabang: Well.... My birthday is soon so....
Nabi: You want me to hang with you for your Birthday?
Nabang: Yes.
Nabi: I'll see what I can do. I'm off. I have work to do.
Nabang: O-okay.
Nabi then opens her Digitab and saw the News. It was Vice-Premier Charlene Higgins indeed, planning to visit the House of the Eves for what was called "State Visit" and from what she heard. It was mostly new projects. But Park knew better. Amazonia would probably asking to Lolilandia about additional procurement of Military, Medical and etc. After having breakfast, she went to deal with the paperworks. Reports of Economically-related happenings around the country and with International trade. Contrary to the public knowledge, the Forex ratio between Amazonian Gold and Lolilandic Goldny, as of this year, were low. The public thought it was still as high as with previous years. Specifically in 25 NLC, which recorded at 40 Amazonian Gold per 1 Lolilandic Goldny. Now. It was just 25 Amazonian Gold per Lolilandic Goldny. Factors like enhanced Trading agreements, and the recent trend of Entertainment Arts Industrialization Act were the reason. At first. Park finds confusing about the act, but after learning and investigating, she saw potential of this newly signed Act approved by the entire Alliance. She would be willing to accept anything that will make the Greater Amazonian Republic Economically strong. As strong as with both Lolilandia, and now Orentsia. Without of course, risking the well-being of the Population. In additional to these paperworks, she also receive several Telegrams from her fellow ECCAP Officials from other countries. Mostly asking how Park is, asking to hang out and other non-work related things.
Nabi: Sheesh girls. I was expecting you to ask some advice but I guess I'm the one who needs it huh. Anyway. Back to work.
Amazonian Western Military District. Same time.
And here's the situation at the Amazonian Western Military District. Its Troops were to demonstrate their newly acquired Main Battle Tank, which in reality, is actually Lolilandic-designed but under Licensed Production. Everyone was pleased were contended. After all, The Armed Forces of the Greater Amazonian Republic, like the rest of Eastern Anmiusian Countries, heavily relies to Lolilandia's Military Technology. This Main Battle Tank had a strange apperance. It has a Diamond-shaped Turret, it was covered in lots of Armor Layers that resembled like scale of a Isopod, and two Autocannons at the side of the Turret. It was the Amazonian Produced D-18. But what they like the tank at most is the fact it needs only one person to operate it. It has a sphere-shaped capsule compartment and can be controlled via VROS (Virtual Reality Operating Systems) among other features they already knew before with their scrapped, replaced Service Tanks, like Smokescreen, Lever-Action Loading system, Nightvision and Thermal Vision.
?: Is this the D-18? Cool.
?: It is cool. How lucky we can finally have them.
The Tank crews were impressed just as the Soldiers were. All except one who viewed with justified concern. A Colonel named Kwon Eun-ji.
Eun-ji: Its nice and all, but how this Tank is gonna deal with some Enemy similar to those Dragons and Giant Hostile Creatures from the Western World, or the likes of Arghansus, or worst. Those damn Extraterrestrial invaders? Surely its powerful enough but how exactly durable is this? Ugh!!!! I'm worrying too much.
And her concerns are indeed justified. Even though D-18 was a perfect in its design as it is, like anything else in the world, it also has flaws too. Ones were Colonel Kwon, other than EMP effect, hoping never to come. She finds the EMP effect the least of her worries, since the tank has its own Emergency power system in case such event occurs. By the time the demonstration is over it was lunch time. Then back to their usually typical work which is manning their posts.
The House of the Eves, Vixenville. 07:00 of evening.
Back here in the House of the Eves, and the whole of Vixenville, was a brightful sight. The city was filled with lights and people ending their stressful grind day with a chill. But alas, the work of Key Government Officials never ends. Not even for the President of the Greater Amazonian Republic - Lee Bo-Reum.
Bo-Reum: Man. What a calm thing to see at night. It feels like I don't wanna end this refreshing view. *sips tea*
Then the phone ring.
Charlene: Uh. President Lee?
Bo-Reum: Yes, Vice-Premier Higgins?
Charlene: Yeah. This just came but I will have the Defense-Minister to join in my scheduled State Visit next week.
Bo-Reum: I see. Well perfect timing then. General Joo wants to talk with your Marshal Zhukova.
Charlene: Ah. Its about that project right?
Bo-Reum: Yes. But why you instead of your sister I wonder.
Charlene: Well. She is resting because of Flu.
Bo-Reum: Ah. That sucks. Hoping for her speedrun recovery though. I missed her already.
Charlene: *chuckles* Okay I get it now. You and my sister would have a lot to discuss if it wasn't for that flu. I'm right am not?
Bo-Reum: Yeah. But that's a different story.
Charlene: I see. Sorry for disturbing your time though. Good Night. *phone hangs*
Bo-Reum: No need to, Vice-Premier. Good Night as well *puts down the phone*
And so another day passed for the Greater Amazonian Republic.
To be continued.
