| Cooperation with the Amerikanisches Reich | |
| By: Confederacy of Turkducken Date: July 7, 2015, 4:09 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| His Excellency wishes to inform the leaders of the | |
| Amerikanisches Reich that he wishes to negotiate cooperation | |
| diplomatically with the State. As we share common boarders and | |
| His Excellency has been greatly intrigued by your State, it | |
| would only seem appropriate that we open negotiations to talk | |
| about shared goals. Furthermore His Excellency acknowledges the | |
| landlocked nature of his own State, and rivers we share should | |
| yield necessary access to the Atlantic Ocean. As it stands our | |
| merchants are restricted by our limited air infrastructure, and | |
| the result of this is a limited exports to the outside world. As | |
| it stands these conditions are bearable but not ideal. We await | |
| any response to our proposal. | |

| From: The Office of the Reichsf�hrer-General, via the Ministry | |
| of Economic Development and Trade | |
| To: His Excellency, President Lance Faraday | |
| Your Excellency: | |
| The Reichsf�hrers und Volk are most grateful for your outreach, | |
| and, being most deeply committed to the peace and mutual | |
| prosperity of the rightful inheritors of the NeoConfederate | |
| legacy, and further recognizing the economic benefits, if not | |
| necessity, of access to seaways for commercial transport, will | |
| happily oblige your request to negotiate a trade agreement. | |
| Pre-approval has been ordered of the Reichspolizei and SS | |
| Leibstandarte for yourself and/or any of your appropriate | |
| officials or representatives to meet with the Reich leadership | |
| in Elsbethburg, thereby to decide upon the details of an | |
| agreement and, provided acceptable terms are reached, enact it | |
| formally. | |
| The Reichspolizei must inform you that there are some | |
| restrictions for visitors, however: | |
| 1. Though the Rassenkundeabteilung Exclusion Act does not, | |
| strictly speaking, apply to diplomatic visitors, it would be | |
| appreciated if none of your party belonged to the ethnic groups | |
| categorically prohibited from Reich citizenship etc. thereby. We | |
| give our solemn oath that no harm would come to them, but it | |
| could lead to embarrassing situations none the less. | |
| ((Law is found in this thread: | |
| http://ncsa.createaforum.com/factbooks-and-national-information/post-your-state… | |
| http://ncsa.createaforum.com/factbooks-and-national-information/post-your-state… | |
| />.)) | |
| 2. You and/or your representatives may be accompanied by an | |
| armed honor guard of up to a dozen personnel, and their arms may | |
| be kept during the visit, except in the personal presence of the | |
| Reichsf�hrers and Reichsmarschall. However, all must be borne | |
| openly. Detection of concealed weapons would lead to suspicion | |
| and, possibly, detention and interrogation, until the purposes | |
| of their possession were determined, and further action taken by | |
| the Reichspolizei or SS Leibstandarte upon that determination. | |
| Of course, the Reich respects diplomatic immunity. | |
| We most humbly beg your pardon if these measures seem | |
| excessively stringent, but you are likely aware that, though the | |
| Party is overwhelmingly popular in the Reich, its doctrines are | |
| loathed by a certain despicable and degenerate minority, given | |
| to violent crime, and attempts have been made on the lives of | |
| the Reichsf�hrers. The situation thus dictates that we take | |
| certain precautions; we pray you do not take it as a lack of | |
| trust or good faith. | |
| 3. Please pre-register your proposed flight path to Elsbethburg | |
| International, as well as the registration numbers of any | |
| aircraft. The paths will be modified as necessary, if necessary, | |
| and approved, and your pilots will be hailed and cleared to | |
| land, barring any irregularities. | |
| With utmost respect and sincerest admiration, | |
| Reichsf�hrer-General Albrecht Dietrich zur Linde | |

| His Excellency is planning his flight trip personally and will | |
| notify your security before arrival. His Excellency, in an | |
| effort to put aside our differences in cooperation, is yielding | |
| to all laws within your State, and to dispel feelings of | |
| distrust, paranoia, and suspicion is arriving with two unarmed | |
| guards from the Elite Volunteers who will also be expected to | |
| confirm to your laws at all times. His Excellency hopes that he | |
| can further deals and diplomacy between our States. | |

| From: The Office of the Reichsf�hrer-General | |
| To: His Excellency, President Lance Faraday | |
| Your Excellency: | |
| I deeply appreciate your cooperation and am most honored by your | |
| agreement to take part in these negotiations, but must insist | |
| you need not go so far in appeasing us, if you aren't | |
| comfortable doing so. To be frank, Reichsf�hrer-SS Habich is | |
| slightly obsessive when it comes to matters of security, but, | |
| given that she was raised from the Leibstandarte herself, I | |
| suppose that shouldn't be surprising. | |
| None the less, from time to time, I must yield to her judgments. | |
| I quite fully understand they may sound threatening or paranoid, | |
| but hope you may understand it is only from concern for the | |
| safety of the leaders of the Reich, which is, after all, part of | |
| her duty. | |
| At any rate I expect our meeting to be nothing less than | |
| amicable, peaceful, and productive, and urge you to be at ease. | |
| My colleagues and I eagerly await your arrival, and again I | |
| insist nothing untoward will happen barring quite exceptional | |
| circumstances. You will receive a grand welcome as friends of | |
| the Reich, and no expense will be spared for your | |
| accommodations. | |
| Most sincerely, | |
| Reichsf�hrer-General Albrecht Dietrich zur Linde | |

| His Excellency will depart on signal from your ground control. | |
| He will be arriving with his unarmed guards in a propeller based | |
| collapsible wing aircraft, as this is the best we can afford for | |
| His Excellency at the moment. His Excellency deeply regrets not | |
| being able to stay in the American Reich longer than a day, but | |
| such are the needs of his people and the stability of his State | |
| very much relies on His Excellency at the moment. However he | |
| will be bringing a gift to the heads of states but will not | |
| quite divulge what said items are. | |

| Albrecht Dietrich zur Linde woke at 8:00 AM with no need for an | |
| alarm, as always, though he would never be a morning person. | |
| Even as he groaned, rolled over, and threw the blanket off his | |
| study's couch roughly, his personal secretary entered his room | |
| and laid a cup of coffee on his endtable. | |
| "Guten morgen, mein F�hrer!" The secretary, in buttoned grey | |
| coat and skirt, with a folded cap, gave a brief Roman salute, | |
| not quite to military standard without lacking enthusiasm, but, | |
| under the circumstances, and given their relationship, he | |
| certainly didn't demand any more. | |
| "Guten morgen, Charlotte; danke." The f�hrer yawned as he | |
| gratefully chugged the first coffee, and Charlotte gracefully | |
| took the cup and saucer as she handed over a folder. | |
| "The morning's briefings, sir." | |
| Zur Linde rubbed his eyes as he stood and opened the documents. | |
| His form had surely suffered a bit since his days in the | |
| Waffen-SS, but not so much that he was hesitant to let a pretty | |
| young girl see it. As acutely aware as he was of his thirty-six | |
| years, and as attentively as he secretly marked the days to his | |
| fortieth on the calendar, he maintained some pride that he was | |
| no fattened or emaciated elderly politician in the republican | |
| vein. | |
| As he politely but absentmindedly requested another coffee, he | |
| perused the previous night's reports. They covered everything | |
| from the development of Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS assets to the | |
| dossiers on dissenters by the Reichspolizei. As he skimmed them | |
| all, he searched for one in particular, and found the response | |
| of Turkducken's president to his entreaty. | |
| When Charlotte returned with another cup, and he had finished | |
| reading, he asked her to lay out his uniform and summon the | |
| obergruppenf�hrer of the Leibstandarte to his office. | |
| She gave a better salute, this time, and he found he was not too | |
| old to return her smile warmly, to his satisfaction, and, to his | |
| greater satisfaction, he thought she may have blushed slightly. | |
| "Jawohl, mein F�hrer! Es ist mein Vergn�gen." | |
| *** | |
| In his richly appointed office, with walnut panels hung with | |
| red, white, blue and black flags and adorned with hunting | |
| trophies, lit by tall, lead-paneled windows opening to the wide | |
| central boulevards of Elsbethburg, the Reichs�hrer-General, now | |
| in immaculately-pressed uniform and cap, received another | |
| salute, considerably more professional -- perfect, even. | |
| "Sieg; heil!" SS-Obergruppenf�hrer Hans Richter was the image of | |
| the perfect Aryan soldier: Tall, blonde, blue-eyed, | |
| broad-shouldered, and stern in countenance. Zur Linde knew from | |
| his record that he had lived up to his image, and was no empty | |
| uniform. He returned the gesture with as much precision, | |
| clapping his boots together. | |
| "Ehre sowohl, Obergruppenf�hrer." Zur Linde tilted his head | |
| carefully, attempting to read the man's expression, but it was | |
| as much like staring at a marble sculpture as ever. "I have a | |
| special task for you, which I think may test your oath to the | |
| fullest: The Turkducken envoys will be arriving soon, and I want | |
| everyone from yourself to the air-traffic controllers to make | |
| sure it goes smoothly. | |
| The trouble is this: Their reply was cryptic and noncommittal | |
| enough that Reinhilde would never have it. So, as your supreme | |
| commander, I have to ask -- no, order -- you not to report to | |
| her directly on this matter until she speaks with me. Ist das | |
| klar?" | |
| For once, and with a bit of perverse gratification on the | |
| Reichsf�hrer's part, Richter's graven expression broke as he | |
| frowned and lowered his brow in doubt. Zur Linde stood, clapped | |
| both hands on his desk, and fixed the man with a stern gaze. | |
| "Meine Ehre hei�t Treue? Is that not it?" | |
| "Jawohl, Reichs�hrer." Richter lowered his eyes. "It will be as | |
| you command." | |
| "Gut. I want you to understand that this negotiation is vital to | |
| the Reich's economy, and, so, to the health and strength of der | |
| Volk, and the SS and Wehrmacht, including Reichs�hrer Habich's. | |
| It is no disloyalty to her to heed me in this. So, please be | |
| about it." | |

| The plane buzzed loudly in the President's ear, he could not | |
| sleep, though in light of the relative distance between the | |
| Reich and his home he did not think it entirely necessary. | |
| Holding his head in his hands looking downwards at the aluminum | |
| plating of the rough passenger hold of the plane, he began to | |
| doubt himself, "This plane is the best the Minister of | |
| Infrastracture could offer me, I suppose I shouldn't blame her, | |
| but what does this say about the state of my home?" He looked at | |
| his guards, two grown men both in their late 40s, "They seem to | |
| have comforted themselves enough, I'm not sure how they could | |
| sleep at a time like this." Turbulence hit the craft, and the | |
| pilot murmured, or rather yelled through the noise, an apology. | |
| Turning back to his own thoughts the President began to wonder | |
| of the people of the Reich, "The paperwork we exchanged was very | |
| formal, clearly a developed state with a sophisticated | |
| government." He thought back to the peculiar language he read in | |
| the correspondence, "German." He realized, "I used to know some | |
| German, my father spoke it." He thought back to those days of | |
| carefree wonder and tried to remember if he knew it still, the | |
| silence was his answer. The pilot yelled across the plane again | |
| "We've entered their airspace sir, contacting ground control | |
| now." The President grew nervous, he mentally imagined himself | |
| as a reminder of what is expected, dark hair, stubble, dark | |
| eyes, late 20s. "They would see me as I see me, young and | |
| inexperienced, I need to prove myself. Not only to the Reich but | |
| to this Confederacy, this is my first time abroad I need to be | |
| prepared." As they flew through the Reich's sky he mentally | |
| reminded himself of his goals, one final time. | |

| Soon as President Faraday's transport entered Reich airspace, | |
| two Horten Ho 529 fighters thundered past from the opposite | |
| heading, shaking the slower plane further, banked, and, finding | |
| they couldn't slow enough to match it without breaking their | |
| stall speed, proceeded to overtake it gradually, their pilots | |
| saluting and dipping their wings as they did so, and radioing in | |
| clear, if accented and mixed, English: | |
| "Sieg heil Herr President! Identification is unnecessary; the | |
| Reichs�hrer-General has personally approved your path, and | |
| airspace has been cleared. Air traffic control will instruct you | |
| on the proper landing approach. It is our honor to escort you | |
| the remainder of the distance." | |
| After they had ranged well beyond the president's transport, | |
| they banked and passed again, less closely this time, and | |
| repeated the maneuver until the monumental structures of | |
| Elsbethburg, ostentatiously adorned with the Amerikanisches | |
| Reich banner, became visible, at which point they broke off | |
| after a final salute. | |

| The small plane touched down on the runway in Elsbethburg. The | |
| passengers, relatively, undisturbed. | |
