In the International Legation Quarter, civilians, natives, and foreigners alike were sweeping up the road off of shattered glass and debris. The explosion that recently exploded caused minor damage to some minor infrastructures. The military under different states was working together to fortify the International Legation Quarter to prepare themselves for a siege that the Boxers were going to bring upon them.

After the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, the Minuteman struck the bridge on the Jurna Bridge, the Boxers, who witnessed such a destructive power before them, were stunned and agape. The bridge that they can use to cross the river and lessen their time to get to the International Legation Quarters was now destroyed. Among the groups, some were beginning to feel apprehensive to approach the International Legation Quarter out of fear of the unknown. As some of the groups were about to part ways and…

Somewhere in the Ruthenia Empire, 250 meters deep underground, two officers were chatting with one another, sharing stories about their days in the military school where they spent blood, sweat, and tears just to get to where they are now and as well their personal stories. "That's ridiculous! So she rejected you because of your face?" the Ruthenian officer cackled after saying that. "Oh my…my stomach, shit," The man who just told him the story simply rolled his eyes in irritation. He thought that his…

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for receiving my call, I'm honored," Mikhail said reverently after hearing the familiar voice at the end of the line. "Tell me what's going on there, Mikhail. You said that this is an emergency so spill it out and I'll see what I can do," Alexander said with an assuring voice. "Very well, Your Majesty. So I just met the informant we had been in contact with in the Kuomintang. He warned us that there will be an attack at the International Legation Quarter at approximately…

As the Ruthenian Empire's internal affairs were about to raise their ugly head, things were tenser on the other side of the world, specifically at the Hanese Dynasty's capital, Beijing. As an all-out civil war between four factions raged on across the country, vying for supreme control over the nation whose motivation is fueled by the ideology that was the foundation of their party, which now results in more than a thousand deaths, foreign nationals living inside the Beijing International Legation are…

"Director of the Foreign Intelligence Services," Alexander mouthed the position of the man standing in front of him right now with a scrutinizing gaze. "It took you five years to compile what you have tucked away in those files, Director. Well, better late than never they say, proceed," "Right away Your Majesty," Bobrinsky cleared his throat and handed a copy of a file he had on his hands to the Emperor and his National Security Advisor. Alexander opened the file and took a quick glance at it. It…

Two hours flew by since the dismissal of the Imperial Council. Alexander walked at a relaxed pace as the front facade of the Winter Palace loomed over him. He cut off his trip from Moskva to resolve the issues that transpired on the Manchu-Hanese border, and the immigration issues Manchuria is facing. It was settled, but for now, the Imperial Council has to draft new policies about immigration as it can be a pain in the ass, especially when your neighbor is tearing itself apart, a war between four…

The two Members of the Imperial Council started debating, it was a long one but can be summarized in one or two paragraphs. But before that, one must know what they are fighting here. The immigrants coming into Manchuria are mostly not undocumented and were able to get through easily as the Manchu-Hanese border is not yet as fortified as the regions that have been part of the Ruthenian Empire for the last ten years. And since Manchuria was in the process of industrialization and urbanization, the…

Tiffania yawned as she trudged sleepily across the hallway along with Alexander and Christina. "Since when did Christina come to Moskva? And why are we leaving all of a sudden brother?" Tiffania raised a question. So far, nothing makes sense to her right now. She was in the middle of her sleep and at four a.m. she was vigorously woken up by a person she didn't expect to see in Grand Kremlin Palace, Christina. Of course, her first obvious question would be why she is here, but Christina didn't answer her…
