Chapter 03

## Diplomatic Relations

This is the third chapter of Nihonkoku Shoukan Manga.

## Summary

During the meeting with the two Qua-Toyne Principality diplomats, the Japanese emissary receives a call on his cell phone causing him to excuse himself from the discussion. The Principality diplomats then talk amongst themselves finding it interesting that Japan seeks agricultural products as from their point of view Japan seems to be a land blessed by the gods. Though the same can be said of the Principality as it has the blessing of the goddess so neither insects or blight can cause harm to their grain fields. While they are disappointed that technology cannot be imported from Japan, the diplomats are interested in seeking military aid to counter the aggression of the Louria Kingdom. However that will be difficult as well due to Japan's constitution. Despite being unable to acquire a Iron Dragon, the diplomats hope to negotiate form transportation like rail transport.

Meanwhile, Japan's officials confirm from the images from the P-3C Orion that the Principality contains vast fields of grain that are suitable for their needs. Next on the list to discuss is the Quila Kingdom which contain oil deposits, but strangely that there seems to be evidence that oil wells have been set up. This information is of interest to the officials as it indicate that there is a country in the New World that has reached modern day era.

At Tokyo, in the state guest house, the Japanese officials and the Principality diplomats meet. The emissary informs the diplomats of Japan's need for food shipments which has become a issue since teleporting to the New World. Likewise the list of items request by Japan can be fulfilled by the Principality though a few like coffee beans are unheard of, but bottom line is that the latter is willing and able to supply Japan's demand. This shocks the Japanese official, though the Principality informs the Japanese that his nation lacks the necessary infrastructure to transport the goods to Japan. The Japanese find it to be no issue as they are willing to provide overseas development to expand the harbors and even facilitate a railroad system for the Principality. After that Japan and the Qua-Toyne Principality formally enter into a diplomatic relationship.

Thanks to its new neighbors, Japan was able to acquire agricultural products from the Qua-Toyne Principality and oil from the Quila Kingdom. After some time the relationship be nations deepen allowing exchanges of culture. However another issue soon arrives and the Principality approaches Japan for assistance as their nation will soon be at war with the Louria Kingdom. Already the Principality has lost some cities to the enemy and even exports that were meant for Japan. Their representative begs the Japanese ambassador, Tanaka, to send troops. Tanaka has mixed feelings over the idea and apologizes to Yagou that he cannot as it will defy their Constitution. But still Japan must make a choice of whether to starve or defy their policy.
