African Expansion Begins

The return of the Manchukuo Emperor had boosted the spirit's of the Manchukuo people which only further increased the war effort for the Manchukuo Empire.

The Korean Border was defended by 150k Arcadian soldier's and 200k Manchukuo Imperial soldier's. The Eastern Border against the Mengjiang United Autonomous Government, and the Republic of China was defended by 100k Arcadian soldier's and 50k Manchukuo Imperial soldier's.

The Republic of China had an active Military of 750k men and was equipped with Modern Weapon's. But because of the Japanese Empire's oppressing them over the past 80 years the country has not been able to develop a stable economy nor does it have that many factories.

The country relies on import's to sustain it's self which is all controlled by the Japanese Empire. This made it hard for the Republic of China to separate from the Japanese Empire due to their size.

But ever since they were told join the war against the Manchukuo Empire merchant ship's have been warned by the Arcadian Empire to not come to the Republic of China port's.

Some Merchant ship's didn't take this seriously and still tried to come to the port's only to be blocked and seized by the Arcadian Navy which has dominance on the Seas around China.

Ever since the start of the war the Japanese Navy has been taking a beaten from the Arcadian Navy preventing them from maintaining their sea dominance around China. This forced their fleet's to focus on defending their coasts in order to prevent a surprise Naval invasion from happening on their shores.

But the seizing of Merchant ship's caused some responses from the other Major power's who received a lot of good import's from the Republic of China.

One by one the Embassies located inside of both the Manchukuo Empire and the Arcadian Empire have been wanting to meet with the Emperor to demand that they stop this at once.

But as Jarvis was not on the country they had to see Chancellor Kingsley instead. Kingsley as Chancellor was given the Authority to make decision's on matter's such as these as long as it aligned with the Emperor's interest.

And right now they were focused on expanding their influence so naturally Kingsley just told these ambassador's that the Arcadian Empire will do what they want.

"I'm sorry Ambassador's but the Arcadian Empire will keep this blockade until the war is over" Said Kingsley

"And plus this it 100% reasonable since we know your countries have been supplying both the Japanese Empire and the Republic of China with military equipment. And once this war is over we will address those who aided the enemy in the war" Threatened Kingsley.

The Ambassador's looked at Kingsley in wide eyes since he just threatened them which is something that could get the major power's more involved in the war.

The United State's Ambassador was the one to speak up against Kingsley "The United State's have always had the free movement of fleet's throughout the world, the same can be said for neutral Merchant ship's that enter an active country during a war" Explained the Ambassador.

"So preventing us from trading with the Republic of China and the Japanese Empire will provoke a response from the United State's Government" Said the Ambassador

A few of the other Ambassador's shook their heads agreeing with the US Ambassador. The other Major power's will not stand for this even with their good relation's with the Arcadian Empire.

But not everybody agreed since some of the Major Power's such as the Republic of France that had received valuable resources from the Arcadian Empire depended on them and they were not about to risk disrupting that trade with them.

Besides Vibranium, the Arcadian Empire had access to lot's of other metals and other strategic resources. In fact it could sustain itself forever without the need for outside import's.

The reason for this was because Jarvis didn't want to rely on the other nation's of the world for resources and other thing's, so by dedicating a balance of resources between industrial, and agricultural Jarvis is able to maintain his Empire.

But the need's of an Empire is so much as the demand for spices from other countries is just so much. That was one thing that his Empire doesn't have and that's spices.

In fact it is the number 1 thing that is imported into his Empire.

Anyway Kingsley didn't talk too long with the Ambassador's since he has already decided to push forward his Majesty's plan of expanding the Empire's Influence across the World.

The Ambassador's left the Palace not even achieving anything, and now they have to go and report that to their nation's leaders.

-----

Meanwhile Jarvis was still in Africa as he had been visiting many countries in order to seek cooperation from them to build the African Continent up and solve the danger that plagued the Continent which was Constant War.

Jarvis wanted to see a United Africa under his Empire's Influence. Of course his trip to Africa was starting spread throughout the world.

It hit Major New channels and almost every African nation knew about it in a matter of hours.

So everytime he visit's a African nation the people are their shouting his name and calling out for him to take their children back to the Arcadian Empire.

Of course Jarvis couldn't do this but what he could do was get into talks with the African countries and set up Arcadian owned facilities inside of the Nation.

And to make sure that they say yes he offered to help develop their nation's and improve their military.

The African nation's faced with this offer couldn't help but agree to his plan and allow him to build facilities inside of the African Nation's

Among these agreement's were also the free movement of Arcadian military forces through their territories as a peacekeeping force.

This allowed Jarvis to freely move around his military and expand his influence and also protect the allied African Nation's from either each other or Rebels.
