Reincarnated with a Country Creation System

Date: June 18, 1938

Location: Legislative Assembly Building, Valoria.

Two hours after Alexander made his decision, the Legislative Assembly building was filled with activity. The emergency session had been called, and Assembly members gathered quickly.

At the front of the room, President of the Legislative Assembly, Thomas Richardson, stood ready to start the session. The atmosphere was tense as the members took their seats, ready to address the issue.

The doors opened, and Alexander walked in. His presence drew immediate attention. He moved confidently down the aisle, meeting the eyes of several members as he passed. He took his seat next to Richardson, and the room grew quiet.

Richardson cleared his throat and began, "This emergency session is now in order. We have been called here by His Excellency, Alexander Herald von Triesenberg, to discuss the situation in the Kingdom of Zambesi and the possibility of military intervention by Valoria. Before we proceed to a vote, we will discuss the matter."

He paused briefly before continuing, "His Excellency will now present his case."

Alexander stood and spoke clearly, "Honorable members, the situation in Zambesi is serious. The Matalebe tribes, supported by the Empire of Triesenberg, are close to taking over the capital. Our ally has formally requested our help."

He paused for a moment, then added, "However, I understand the risks. A military intervention could lead to a conflict with Triesenberg, and the consequences could be far-reaching. I ask you to consider both the immediate need to support Zambesi and the long-term impact on Valoria."

Alexander sat down, and the room filled with quiet murmurs as the members thought about what he had said. Richardson then opened the floor for discussion.

"The floor is now open for discussion," Richardson announced. "Please speak in turn."

One member stood first. "Your Excellency, President Richardson, fellow members. I understand the importance of Zambesi, but we must be cautious. We could be entering a conflict that might grow beyond our control. Triesenberg is not a nation to be underestimated."

Another member voiced his opinion. "With all due respect, we cannot show weakness. If we don't act now, we will be seen as unreliable. Valoria must stand by its allies and show that we are strong."

A third member spoke next. "I agree that we need to help Zambesi, but we must think about the economic consequences. A long conflict could hurt our trade and economy. We need to ensure that any military action is quick and effective."

The discussion went on, with members offering different views—some urging immediate action, others suggesting caution. The debate was serious, with each member understanding the importance of the decision.

After about an hour, Richardson called for order. "We have heard the arguments. It is time to vote."

The room fell silent as Richardson spoke, "All those in favor of authorizing military intervention in Zambesi, as proposed by His Excellency, Alexander, please raise your hand."

A majority of hands went up, showing support for Alexander's proposal.

"Those opposed?" Richardson asked.

A smaller number of hands were raised, showing that there was some opposition.

Richardson nodded and said, "The motion is passed. Valoria will proceed with military intervention in Zambesi. May our actions be in the best interests of our nation and our allies."

Alexander stood again and said, "Thank you, honorable members. We will act with the full strength of Valoria. I will ensure that our forces are prepared. This Assembly has made its decision, and I will carry out my duties with care."

With the vote concluded, the Assembly was adjourned, and the members began to leave the room. He stayed for a moment, speaking briefly with Richardson when Juliet had to chime in.

"Your Excellency, the decision made in the Assembly has reached the Minister of Defense. He is waiting for you, along with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for further instructions."

Alexander nodded but held up his hand slightly. "Not now, Julieanne. I need to address the nation first. The citizens of Valoria must understand the gravity of this decision and why we are taking these actions. Arrange for a live broadcast from the Volkshalle. I want to speak to the people as soon as possible."

Julieanne understood immediately. "I will make the arrangements, Your Excellency. The Volkshalle will be ready for your address within the hour."

Alexander turned back to Richardson, who gave him a firm nod of approval. "It's a wise decision, Your Excellency. The people need to hear this from you directly. They need to know why Valoria is taking this step."

"Indeed," Alexander replied.

With that, Alexander left the Assembly chamber, making his way back to the grand halls of the Volkshalle. The corridors were quieter now, the earlier hustle and bustle replaced by a tense calm. As he walked, he mentally prepared himself for the speech he was about to give.

He knew that this announcement would mark a turning point for Valoria, not just in terms of foreign policy but also in how the nation would be perceived on the world stage.

By the time he reached his office, the preparations for the broadcast were already underway. Technicians were setting up cameras, and a podium had been placed in front of the large windows that overlooked the city.

Julieanne approached him once more, her usual efficiency evident. "Everything is ready, Your Excellency. We'll go live in fifteen minutes. The networks have been notified, and the broadcast will reach all major cities and towns."

"Thank you, Julieanne," Alexander said, taking a deep breath. "I'll need a moment alone to gather my thoughts before we begin."

Julieanne nodded and quietly exited the room, leaving Alexander standing alone by the window. He looked out over the city, the capital of a nation about to take a significant step into the global arena. He knew the risks, the potential for conflict with Triesenberg, and the uncertain path ahead. But he also knew that this was necessary—for Valoria, for its future, and for its place in the world.

As the final minutes ticked down, Alexander moved to the podium, his expression resolute. The technicians signaled that they were about to go live, and the room fell into complete silence. The red light on the camera blinked on, and the broadcast began.
