Ancient friendship rekindled: Yingdala invests in Wrnuke 5 October 5476 New recruits of the Taghereklemkai Krpz, the military constabulary, kneeling for the of the Son of Heaven, His Imperial Majesty Wu Fangxun.For three days the King of Wrnuke was the host to the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of Yingdala Wu Fanxgun. The two monarchs informally call each other 'cousin', an ancient tradition between the Kings of Wrnuke and the Sons of Heaven. For centuries the dynasties of both monarchies would marry into each other, a tradition only stopped by the fear of causing genetic defects. Nonetheless the dynasties recognise an ancestral blood-bond between them and as such have accepted that the sovereigns of both nations, if they are of the proper dynasty, will refer to each other as cousin as an informal gratitude towards the ancient connection between the two nations. The Son of Heaven arrived on the 2nd of October and was greeted at the Wiel International Airport by King Wrntukai XI, while our great nation's monarch often delegates his duties to the Prefect it is said that for this occasion he personally insisted on meeting his 'cousin'. As it was the Son of Heaven's first visit to Wrnuke the King took his good friend on a tour throughout the capital, visiting several monumental sights before retreating to the New Palace on Wiel's largest hill.
There the two monarchs were joined by several ministers, diplomats, and other bureaucrats. Pleasantries were set aside to make way for talks of trade, commerce, investments, mutual defence, and future ambitions. The true words spoken at this meeting will never be known to the public but after a royal dinner the Son of Heaven, during a special ceremony, announced that Yingdala would invest greatly in the Kingdom of Wrnuke. The Emperor spoke to the guests with wise words: "Eons ago our two nations stood side by side, two of the most powerful monarchies across the globe. When Yingdala required help, the Jelbics would answer. When the great men of Wrnuke requested aid, the Son of Heaven would send their best. Now we see that the greatest of the Jelbic states needs a firm hand to pull them back to where they belong. Fear not, my cousins of the true blood, Yingdala stands by you. We will invest, we will train, we will be there right with you. Támnr!" After this the often quiet King of Wrnuke took his turn to thank the Son of Heaven for His generosity. Then the two monarchs signed a mutual document stating the intention of Yingdala to invest in the further recovery of Wrnuke.
On the days after the King took the Son of Heaven upon a tour of Wrnuke. The two visited a military exercise in the North of Wrnuke, where dozens of proud warriors were being sworn into the
Taghereklemkai Krp. Their day was made extra special with the Son of Heaven giving them His personal blessing. After this the pledge was made to have soldiers of Yingdala and Wrnuke exercise together before the end of the year. Besides that the Emperor of Yingdala was shown the special exposition on the Yeudish culture, a special moment occurred when all museum staff gathered to bow before the Son of Heaven to thank him for his personal donation. The last day was mostly spent with the two royal families rekindling their ancient ties, with certain rumours suggesting that after several generations of a 'marriage ban' the two dynasties will once again introduce the younger scions to each other.
The special agreement signed between Yingdala and Wrnuke will see billions invested into Wrnuke's economy. The decades of the isolationist dictatorship have not been kind for Wrnuke, even though the already established trade agreements significantly grew the previously lagging economy. Just autarky however will not turn Wrnuke into Jez Wrnuke, the hope between the two ancient allies is that the new investment will make that possible. Further financing has been allocated to education, to revive Wrnuke's long-standing academic history, as well as the defence industry. Prefect Anzlék-Zahr stated he wishes to move away from the defensive doctrine of Wrnuke's navy which currently focuses on a large submarine force to counter aircraft carriers - instead the Prefect wishes to once again deploy Wrnuke's own aircraft carrier. For now Yingdala's investments will prove a well-needed boost to the economy and defence industry, but a lot more will be needed to fully recover for the Kingdom of Wrnuke.
