*Main Executive Branch*
Jiang Zhiqing with Taneka Shu

Taneka Shu: Mr. President, a case has reached Supreme Court. Perhaps you want to attend this case?

Jiang Zhiqng: Its the first case that the Supreme Court has undertaken is it not? I understand it would be good for the public to see that I care about such things. My election is coming up next year afterall.

Taneka: I agree. The case is on child labour.

Jiang: What's the arguement?

Taneka: It appears to be on the working age of children coupled with the many hazards of the workplace.

Jiang: Fools, children account for almost ten percent of the nation's workforce. To ban child larbour would be to destroy our economy. It appears I'll have to call Yun to help me on this.

Taneka: Right away, sir.

*Judical Sector, Supreme Court*
Yun Ming before the Supreme Twelve

Yun Ming: Now our opponents have brought to your attention the hazardous environment in youths workplaces and have suggested to you that we ban youth labour. There are some major flaws to this arguement that I wish to point out. Youth labour acounts for ten percent of the nations workforce. If we were to say, ban youth labour, we would lose about two million Yuans in national income. That means inflation and higher prices for goods everywhere in China. Say you wanted to buy a loaf of bread, what was before three Yuan, would become ten Yuan. Now, the only problem youth labour currently has is the quality of safety in the workplaces. For a meager amount of one million Yuan, we could fix it all and hire officials to inspect factories. Our national will not lose two million Yuan yearly and may even gain more as less youths are lost to hazardous conditions. Now I present to you two solutions, one that my opponents so kindly mentioned, which will destroy our economy, or mine, which will make our economy properous.

The law was passed unanimously, factories would now be inspected for hazardous conditions and then shut down until those conditions were fixed.

*Gen Zin Wa with Taneka Shu*

Gen: So Mr. Shu, I'm interested to know, how are the Dragonflys functioning?

Taneka: Ah, Mr. Wa, It is acutally doing quite well. Test flights have  produced results that have exceeded our first calculations. They are quite efficent in scouting our borders of influence as well as beyond it. I would not be surprised if these planes grew even more useful. The field shows much potential.

Gen: I'm glad to hear that. Listen, some of my lower officers are interested in developing a plane to be used on our ships. They believe that with an adequent plane, we can essentially airlift objects into cargo ships without ever docking into a port. Although we have boats for the same purpose, they believe planes will allow us to be even further away.

Taneka: Alas, our planes do not have that ability yet. To do so would require airfields next to ports, that we don't have as well have a stronger, more able plane. Our Dragonflys are currently capable of carrying little more than the pilot. But, as you have brought this up, I will make a note to mention it to my aerodynamic engineers. Surely they will find the idea entertaining.

Gen: I see. Well, I must be going now. I have matters to discuss with my officers.

Taneka: Good bye.

*Miliant Sector*
Gen Zin Wa with Yun Ming

Gen: So you are proposing that I build a tanker? What for?

Yun: It would be to aide transportation of waste materials between Macau and Hong Kong. You remember I'm in charge of the cleanup of Hong Kong.

Gen: Didn't you already decide to dump the waste in Tai Tam? Why would you need a Macau-Hong Kong tanker?

Yun: Well, its a long trek to Tai Tam, its really only efficently for those cleaning up along the south eastern edge of Hong Kong. For those in the north, a Macau-Hong Kong route remains the faster and cleanest. Therefore, I'm requesting the tanker.

Gen: Sure, I'll get back to you when my architects are done with a design.

*on the docks of Macau*

Yun sat comfortabely, waiting for any fish to bite. It had been a long time since his last vacation. He suddenly heard a familar voice behind him.

"Hong Kong's been bombed again!"

Yun got up with a start. "What?" The voice behind him giggled. "Aw, crap. Yan, is that you?"
Yan paused until Yun turned around to her, "April's Fools." Now, more seriously, the President is calling for you."
"I might have prefered the bombing to this" Yun mused.
Yan frowned, "Is being director of projects that bad?"
Yun sighed in response, "Its gotten to the point where I'm a director of foreign affairs, or transportation, or what ever he needs me to do. It very often interrupts my vacations."
Yan smiled weakly, "Well it takes time out of our dates too you know."
Yun hugged Yan, "I know. Well I should be going now, see you tonight."

"See you"


*Later at Main Executive branch*
Yun: You called me sir?
Jiang: Yes, well you know Reformist China has barely any relationships with other countries. I want you to be a diplomat and visit some countries to establish profitable relationships.
Yun: Well, which nations?
Jiang: For one thing, France. Its important that we establish some kind of contact with the superpower as soon as possible. I want you to go to France.
Yun: France?! Isn't that a little far off?
Jiang: What would you propose then?
Yun: I suggest we start closer, like in Indochina.
Jiang: Good idea, now go.
Yun: One more thing. Can't you find anyone else? I have a date tonight.
Jiang: *raises one eyebrow* Are you saying a date is more important than the nation's well-being?
Yun: Well, I been going out with her for a while and um... she really-
Jiang: Enough! Just go along with her then. Jeez.

Jiang stood up after Yun left. He thought he had taught Yun better than that. 'But, if he manages to get an agreement with the French', Jiang though smiling to himself, 'I might be wrong about him afterall.'

*Yes, the girl will be important later on*

*Indochina*

Yun Ming, being the sneaky fellow that he is, sent his aide, Huang Hun in his place.

[maddox]

Hmm, Logi, did you send the diplomats by TimePortal?

*Indochina*

- After returning to 1914, after their brief trip in the year 2008, Huang Hun finally gets to Indochina -

Walking of the ship carrying his name, Huang Hun prepared to meet the French diplomats.


- Being greeted by Monsieur Galpeché in a grand style, he prompted sent Yun and the others to Paris. It would be sometime before they are heard from again.

[maddox]

Actualy, due the troubles in Indochina, diplomat Huang Hun and entourage is cooling their heels in a riant, decadent aircondioned palace in Touranne.  All is done to keep the RRC entourage happy.

It is deemed unsafe and unwise to have such esteemed group of RRC honorables to travel trough the country towards Fortress Napoleon the Great and the port of Saigon.

Huang Hun had the opportunity to return home, but the responsibility placed in his hands made him stay in Touranne, keeping contact with Hong Kong  by a relay of  telegraph and wireless stations.

Early February 1915; Monsieur Galpeche, acting  gouverner of South Indochina gets Huang Hun in contact with the Italian envoy to French Indochina ,Magistrate Arrigo Severus Claudius.
