Arisen From Despair- a Ace Combat Plan Quest

Just one thing really quick, i am really uncomfortale with how the plan is phrased, the mol****ng and threatening the underage girl with r**e scene just really dont sit well with me, could we change those? Perhaps put something about bravery in or how the generals endangered them like KNakamura said?
 
I have to agree @Basedburgundy4. I am sorry @eumarthan I just read through the plan . For clarification i did not read through after you made as part of our deal. I did that in good faith and now reading it.... no I can not for vote something like that so until it is changed I deleting my vote and ask people to forget my arguments for until it is changed and those questionoble stuff is removed

Like to remind you - Estovakia during the war
- sneak attack'd the capital with fighters and bombers, including destroying bridges
- used cruise missiles on said capital
- *threatened biological WMDs if they approached the capital*

So if we portray it as "The Emmerians went too far, but the Generals all but pushed them into it, abandoning our honor for the mass slaughter of civilians, and the King walked a tightrope between care for the homeland and care for his family, slowing the Emmerian advance down for more of the soldiers to escape. The Generals put us in this position.." etc, ad ifinitum "

This also, you know, doesn't make us prone to immediate sanctions. Not right now. Also doesn't probably skirt the rules.

Nothing saying we can't work on it later. Just right now we're really vulnerable.

  • [X] Lock The Report up away: By the Time Ernst Pedersen gave away the Information to the Emmerians, unfortunately the war was all but lost to estovakia, and he remains as one of the best candidates to the throne and we can not afford to deal with the Shockwaves should this come to light. ( Ernst Pedersen Becomes the King of Estovakia, Stability Remains as it is)
    [X] Blackmail Ernst Pedersen: This Report will be a useful tool to keep against the King. Threatening to reveal this secret will prevent him from ever collaborating with a foreign Government and keep him in line. We should also probe him on the Emmerian Agents he contacted and possible spies within the Country.
    [X] Help Ernst Pedersen: Although Ernst is a great Candidate we must Help him and ensure that when he gets the Throne and if the papers leaks the People will still trust him. Corroborating his testimonies with what we have, we can start building a narrative of him being forced to leak secrets or else his family will be killed. If the files gets leaked we get our Alphabet Agency to start a rumor of the Emmerians threatening his wife of being rape and their family dog being killed unless he does what they asked, add in a smaller rumor that one of the agents was eyeing his underage daughter as a "ripe fruit ready to be picked". All of this is to push the narrative of a helpless man who had no choice. We should also put an emphasis on his bravery by his obfuscation on our counter offensive, saving lives of men who would not have returned.
    [X] Blackmail Ernst Pedersen
    [X] Interrogate Ernst Pedersen: Although Ernst is a great Candidate we must test him to see if he still lies to the Estovakian Motherland. Ask him about his role as a Collaborator and see if he speaks the Truth or tell Lies. Corroborating his testimonies with what we gathered would both help us in deciding if he is still loyal and trusted to be the King or search for another Candidate, and be a test for our intellegience and counter espionage team.
    [X] Lock The Report up away
 
I hoped you could have extended it since by the time we were discussing things it was nighttime to me but I understand. But do you we have the option to do the narrative later. I feel that we could shoot ourselves in the foot if we ignore this. This option is the worse of both worlds since Ernst gets the Throne but we help him.

Canon Omake: The Director
The Director

The Head Director of the Estovakian Intelligence Bureau or the EIB Ethan Marcus is pouring wine in his office. Last night was a clusterfuck to say the least. They were planning on who to crown as King and Ernst Pedersen was on top of the list. A family man he had a large group of support and had been known as the peoples man, He was also the least Revanshonist of the candidates, so it wasnt that hard for them to choose him as the King. But proper proceadure had to be done and his background was checked, Ethan drank from his wine as he recalled how everything went to shit when it was revealed that he was a traitor, anyother circumstances would have him arrested and tried for treason but this wasnt an anyother case, the mans family was kidnapped by the Emmerians with the threat of death and he was put between a rock and a hard place, he either leaked military secrets to the Emmerians or watch his family be gunned downed courtesy of a video taped they would have sent.

But a single act of his opened a possibility of redemption and that is his act of bravery in sabatoging Emmerians plans during the Counter-Offensive, he secretly hid parts and overestimated some of the plans he leaked to save as many Estovakians as possible. From what Ethan gathered during the battle the counter offensive was a lost cause, one final Hurrah before death and Ernst saved a lot of good men on that day but i wouldn't make up for betraying the motherland. What it did however was open a possible path of redemption for him and thats when plans diverge. Almost everyone was in agreement to crown him king but how they would do it differed wildly. Most voted to burn the papers and ignore it, preferring to keep the secret quiet while others wanted to blackmail the man, with Ethan himself as the one to propose it first, however a few conversations with the Head of Education Heins Richard changed his mind and he decided to change the plans to instead help Ernst with his secret by blaming the Emmerians. Heins immediately accepted the plan without ever looking closely to it and voted for his plan. They managed to convince enough people to tie those who wanted to hide the secret, it was there when an urgent report had arrived on his desk and he had to leave early.

During the discussion the Head of Justice Hans Burgun looked closely to the Directors plans and pointed out a part of the plan that was overlooked, Heinz was quick in flipping over the page and was horrified to find what was in the pages, detailed plans to fabricate rumors of Ernst family being threatened with Rape and sexual assault if Ernst hadn't been a collaborator. Heinz was numbed and shocked in a moment before immediately trying to contact Ethan but before he could get in touch with the Director the Prime Minister called in the vote and in close tie between blackmail or burning the files Heinz not knowing what to do decided to vote for burning the files and Ernst was crowned king without him ever knowing what they knew of him. A sudden loud smashing sound is heard as the bottled wine was thrown to the wall by him in anger. Damn the Prime Minister, Damn the Hans Burgun, and Damn those who sided with him, and Damn those fools who voted to ignore the files (he would have damned Heinz also for betraying him were it not for Heinz to immediately give his reasons after the meeting, expressing the fact that he couldn't in good conscience support spreading rumors of rape since he was raised to uphold his morals). Those fools had inadvertently set a ticking time bomb on Estovakia Herself and when those files leak whether that be by the hands of a rouge Emmerian Director or a Foreign Agent, Estovakia will collapse into another Civil war and those fools will be ignorant of the consequences until the moment they face the wrong side of a firing squad for putting a Traitor to the throne, but not before he gets shot for being part of the Cabinet, the Director thought grimmly.

Fixing up his tie he sits down on his desk and calls Heinz Richard. He hopes he could get a minute with the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, and press the issue that now that Ernst is King they need to begin planning on how to deal the fallout when the files inevitably leak, starting with writing up possible rumors and stories he hopes that he could push the narrative that Ernst was a victim and is not a traitor without angering any of the key groups holding this country together and to do that he needs the help of Heinz to back him up in the upcoming meeting.

(I made our tense discussion into an in universe thing if you want to be included in the next Story then be sure to specify what position you hold and if your part of the Cabinet)

Turn 4: The Coronation
Gamlekil.

The Atmosphere in the city was jubilant for the first time in many years, it only seemed a few months ago that Estovakia wouldn't have a monarch for a while but that was quickly disapproved. in a minutes the coronation would begin.
"So how long do we have until the coronation starts?". Asked Tord Holt. a cough came from Hermann Solberg. " Should Start in uh 4 minutes or so". a silence came from Tord before he quickly broke it. " Do you think we made the right decison about Pedersen?". Solberg responded quickly. " We did what had to be done. oh i think the coronation is going to start now, settle down."
Silence engulfed the Room. Ernst Pedersen soon entered the room with 2 Piiskops by his side. Pedersen was wearing a crimson surcoat and a a crimson robe of state. he soon took a seat at the throne at the center of the room. The Peapiiskop who was near the soon to be King. spoke and begun the coronation
"Sirs, I here present unto you Ernst Pedersen, your undoubted King. Wherefore all you who are come this day to do your homage and service, are you willing to do the same?"​. at each side all soon Acclaimed the sovereign. The Peapiiskop Turned to Ernst Pedersen and paused for a second and Began to Talk.
"Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the Kingdom of Estovakia and of your Possessions, according to their respective laws and customs?". Said The Peapiiskop
"I will". Said Ernst Pedersen. The Peapiiskop began to talk again.
"Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the Kingdom the Protestantlik Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolable the settlement of the Church of Estovakia, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in Estovakia? And will you preserve unto the Piiskops and Vaimulikud of Estovakia, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?". Asked Peapiiskop.
"All this I promise to do. The things which I have here before promised, I will perform, and keep. So help me God". Said Ernst Pedersen.
The Peapiiskop Soon Lifted The Crown And Placed It upon Ernst Pedersen. And Spoke. "God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness, that having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of him whose kingdom endureth for ever". The Guests Soon Bowed their Heads and Said "Amen"
The City and Nation celebrated the Coronation of his Imperial Majesty Ernst Pedersen.

This plan is practically hyperfocused on roads and the train network i wont lie. But on the other hand we wont have an economy without either. Also get started on resources for easy money.

On the political side, having a efficient bureaucracy is never bad + more international support, i really dont think we should get involved in wars in our state.
