News that Protoa wishes to enter peace talks with the U.S. has been greeted with a cautious optimism in the White House. Speaking earlier President Bush said that although he still had his suspicions he would welcome the Kaiser to the U.S. and have formal discussions with him.

President Bush and his motorcade have just arrived here at Andrews Air Force base. In the distance we can see the jet carrying the delegates from the so called 'Central Powers Alliance'.
It is believed that the main aim for this meeting is for the U.S. to build better relations with Protoa, and also to see how the 'special relationship' with Porcu is to be affected by their change in government.
--------------------------------
The jet is now alongside the President and his cabinet and it appears the door is opening......

As his guards stepped out of the plane, Lucian followed them. He then walked down the stairs and approached President Bush. He outstretched his hand, and then said,
"Hello, Mr. President. We meet again. Hopefully now we can have better relations between us, yes? Protoa is extremely excited to talk with the United States of Robengrad."

"As we are with you Mr. Lucian. We fondly hope that together we can further the peaceful state of Hyrule of recent times.
"Please your limo is waiting, I will speak again at the White House, I wish to get these peace talks underway as soon as possible."
OOC - Please go into detail in your next post, Im not entirely sure what you are after here, is peace dependent on central power status?

Duce Messe, or now officially "Consul" Messe, exited the jet well after Kaiser Lucian. It had been years since he had last been in Robengrad and Messe felt a little out of place exiting a jet after some other leader, even more so after one he had just met. However, Messe just sucked up his pride and calmly walked down the stairs to join Lucian and President Bush, both of whom had already entered the limo that was waiting for them.
Messe got in and not wanting an awkward silence to descend decided to introduce himself to the only man he didn't already know.
"Mr. Bush...", Messe said with a heavy Latin accent. "You may already know who I am, but I still wish to introduce myself. I am Giovanni Messe and I wanted to thank you for inviting me to Robengrad..."

Lucian rode in the limo, taking in the sights of the city. The washington monument was perhaps the largest pillar that Lucian has ever seen, the stark beauty that projected so much emotion to the soul.
When he finally reached the White House, he was swiftly escorted throught the a secret side passage that lead to directly to the Oval Office.
When Lucian entered, he saw that President Bush was already seated. Lucian made himself comfortable and then said,
" We, Mr. President. It seems we have a lot to talk about so I will get right to it. I have just recently talked with Giovanni Messe of The Empire of Porcu. I was glad that he was so open to talks with me, considering the past that Protoa has had. Protoa, as you know, was a former communist state with a Soviet Alliance. But that did not help our economy. So, in response to the citizens support, we dissolved our obsolete government in favor of a Absolute Monarchy. We have now prided ourselves with our new found nationality, and are striving for peace within Hyrule.
As you know, Robengrad and Protoa have bumped heads a few times in Protoa's existence. I find that continued conflict is ridiculous. I would like to offer a peace treaty between us and the establishment of a trade agreement. I would also petition that we become allies. I don't know how you feel about the Central Powers Alliance or your interest to join, but I must assure you that the Central Powers will be your ally, even if you decline to join. We are achieving great steps in response to Porcu's signing on."
Lucian stopped to take a sip of water and then continued.
"The Empire of Porcu made it known that if any conflict arised between the Central Powers and Robengrad that they would swiftly leave the alliance. I assured Porcu that we want to have a long lasting peace with the United States. I am not sure that Giovanni Messe will attend this meeting, but I am sure that he would give his blessing that our talks are successful."

"I see Mr. Lucian. You want the U.S. to join your alliance? I must ask what benefits this would have for my nation that I could not negotiate with others outside of such an arrangement. The way I see it, I can hold my own without joining this agreement. Or even without signing any agreement for Peace with you. "What you must understand Mr. Lucian is that the United States does not need to join you, and I think the fact that you have come to me asking me to join you is testament to that. I can forsee the U.S. losing some of its power if I join you, as you seem to have named yourself de-facto leader of this alliance. "Furthermore following the response to my proposal of a multi-national organisation being set up to push for peace and change in Hyrule I find it sad and ironic that mere weeks later I am being courted by such an organisation. "Simply put Mr. Lucian it will take more than that for me to be convinced that joining you will be beneficial. And following your previous Communist stance I find myself worried that a coup or popular uprising could occur at any time in your country, especially given its recent turbulent political history. "I am sure you can understand my concerns here. Much as people questioned the need for a HTO, I must question the need for a C.P.A." Bush turned to the new 'Consul' of Porcu, "'Consul Messe, I know you to be a wise man, I must ask you, why did you join this alliance? How does it benefit our nations? I hope that our special relationship will continue, but after you have joined this alliance I find myself questioning what you want...... OOC - RPing an American is easier than I thought.....  But seriously, I need a good reason to join, especially after you all turned your noses up at the HTO idea.... |

OOC: Remember that I was never present at that conference and so didn't ever "turn my nose up at" the HTO idea.
IC:
Apparently, Mr. Bush didn't know Messe's background of being a soldier first and diplomat second. Messe was very inexperienced in terms of politics and it certainly showed here. Political pressure back home was immense and the former Field Marshall began to feel just how hard it must have been for Benito Mussolini. A new and profound respect for the former Duce came over Messe.
"I do not really know what I want myself...", Messe said after sometime. "You must understand that I am a military man first and foremost. I only accepted this leadership position because I was called to do it. It was simply part of my duty to Porcu, my homeland, and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused."
Suddenly, Messe was taking it quite hard with himself and for the first time in his career, military and now political, he began to doubt his abilities. Pressure from the noble families was increasing day by day and now it was Tiberius Maxentius, the other Consul of the SPQR, that was beginning to grab more and more power from Messe.
"I would honored to speak with you individually Mr. Bush. I hope that this can be arranged sometime and I hope it isn't an inconvenience..."

ooc: sorry i didnt post earlier but a situation erupted with some family issues so i couldnt post as soon as i wanted...
ic:
Lucian looked slightly disappointed at President Bush's response. "I feel that the HTO, the ESTO, and the Axis alliances have reached their peak and have failed. They failed because of the leaders and hardliners have either died, or they were overthrown. The rules that governed them were so strict that when the government of their nation changed, they no longer fit into their alliance.
I feel that will not happen in the Central Powers Alliance. We believe that any form of government is acceptable. The only rule we have is that we defend our allies, whether or not we think that it is right. Many people have done bad things for good reasons, as people have done good things for bad reasons. Defense, Trade, and the development of Technology is the goal of the Central Powers. As I have said before, regardless if you join the alliance, the Central Powers want to have a lasting peace with the United States of Robengrad."

"I have made my decision Mr. Lucian. I will not be joining the CPA. I feel it would be more restrictive to my long term goals than beneficial. However I will sign a peace treaty with you, it will be a treaty of friendship only. Because of the past emnity between our nations I do not want to move too fast.
"However I will make this clear now, should a Central Power move against us we will be willing to attack pre-emptivley against that power and that power alone. If the CPA gets involved with any United States actions we will see that as an act of war and respond accordingly. I hope you can understand my countries need to take this stance."
OOC - This is exactly like U.S. foreign policy so Im keeping it in my rationale on here.
