year 1639, March 22nd, morning
2 months ago, Maharlika was suddenly transported into another world without warning, they didnt even knew they were transported, it was just one night until a split second flash of light happened in the sky. They were completely unprepared and since they dont have there allies to trade with and also not being that self efficient. There economy plummeted. Jobs loss, Food prices skyrocketed, Oil gotten pricier, and famine was near, etc. After that riots and looting broke out but the national guards was able to suppress them. Gladly, Emperor duterte ordered all Maharlikan people, soldiers and military equipment to return back to their homeland, there was some resistance and suspicion on why the emperor all of a sudden want everyone back but most did come back to their homeland, some were too resistant but the emperor allowed them to stay, the emperor then also ordered that they can stay if they wish to but it is a must to return. But that also raised some questions. Why did the emperor want all his people and military back to there mainland like he was expecting this?.
Soon, they noticed that there is land on the south where indonesia was supposed to be, there is also land on the north when before it was only sea, and also land the farther west on where indonesia was.
So they planned to do a "diplomatic blitzkrieg" where they would send envoys through all the nearest civilizations and have diplomatic ties and then engage trading with them, they need to do it fast since they only have 7 months of oil and food supplies before they run out and starve.
They first got to make ties in the northeast with Kua Toine first and it was successful, they were able to transport 200 million tons of food and with the help also some upgrading in infrastructure from Maharlika, Quira, even being a barren wasteland was a treasure trove to Maharlika by the amount of oil, metal, and other minerals it has and in return, Maharlika would in return, give both of them better infrastructure. Soon, Kua Toine and Quira changed drastically because of the given infrastructure by Philippines. Quality of life increased in both countries, they also requested some military improvements but they were declined due to core technologies being locked but they were given WW1 guns like bolt action rifles and revolvers and some jeeps, they will also give some training on how to properly use them. Then theres Louria were they just got kicked out while also getting called "barbarians", seeing the hostility of the country, Maharlika stationed a full scale invasion troops on Gim if they were to attack them.
Second is Fenn were the diplomat was almost challenged to a Duel. Diplomats are trained to do hand-to-hand and sword fighting combat and they also had a pistol if things really went south, but the person he was fighting is a very trained swordsman, which will be a very rocky fight, its just wasnt continued beacuse the swordsman said that he was already worthy and allowed them to get in. Soon, they would know that there wasnt much to trade from, but they did give them improved infrastructure and improved blacksmithing, and teaching there wind dragons on vertical takeoff in exchange of studying the Wind dragons since they noticed that the dragon was sending electromagnetic waves that closely resembled radio waves, which they came to the conclusion that the major civilization may have already mass produced radars, the Maharlika would soon increase its fundings on stealth and jamming technology which was temporarily lowered due to the "Transfer of Maharlika".

Last was Altaras, they were able to get some diplomatic rights and be able to mine, they also had what they called "Magic Crystals" which will be studied. But, they will also know the threat of the Parpaldia Empire and there ways of subjugation. Maharlika would also stationed some of its Naval ships on Altaras and Fenn.
After that everything went well. The economy went back up, jobs were back, food, oil, and other mineral prices lowered.
Emperor Duterte ordered to bring back the Battleship Bayan, Manila, Tondo and modernize it and instill Gunboat diplomacy, he also increased funding on magic since he is interested in it.
As things were all going well. Until....
Central Calendar year 1639, April 11th, morning, near the border of Rowlia and Kua Toine
As General Pondour and his men were marching to attack Gim, he also ordered his men to loot and spread fear by leaving a few. Making hes men smile and cheer of the things they can do on Gim. But as just as morale was high, they hear what seems to air being chopped repeatedly, and then they saw a flying green thing coming towards them. Pandour ordered hes men to prepare of whatever that thing was going to do, after the thing got near them, the thing started talking.
"PANSIN, NAGBABAGO KAYO NG KUA TOINE HANGGANAN. ISANGKIN ANG IYONG KATUNGAN O BUMALIK, KUNG HINDI KAYO SUSUNOD, GAGAMIT KAMI PUWERSA AT DEKLERASYON NG GIYERA"
Someone shot an arrow on it and it bounced off, which implies that its metal, which startled everyone. How could metal be able to fly without falling from its weight?
And then, it started to ascend and make marching noise
