Doungzhou, United Republic of Tieguo | Quartyr 26, 1591
President Qiu Yu Zhao had expressed more resistence than expected for his last approach in the "Hoinomese question". The wide and contradictory coalition of alliances that had allowed him to become the leader of the United Republic of Tieguo in 1587, was highly dividing on this issue. While President Qiu was highly praised in every Tieguonese newspaper as "a leader called to shape both Tieguo and Ostara", many moderate and technocrats of the Tieguonese elite saw a more active intervention in Hôinôm as a threat to Tieguonese trade and economic growth.
Qiu had established in Doungzhou only in 1578, at the age of 44 years old. A native of the usually underepresented northwestern provinces, Qiu was only able to advance in the Tieguonese Nationalist Party step by step. Guo Min Cheng nominated and appointed him as First Secretary of the Tieguonese Nationalist Party in 1582, a position that made him de facto General Secretary of the Nationalist Party, as President Guo was no longer interested much in party affairs. He had, however, no influence on Tieguonese government policy, as that was left of the hands of either Premier Jie Jong-Jian, President Guo's right-hand, or the National Political Commitee of the Nationalist Party. Qiu, however, spent the next five years to expand and consolidate his influence in the party, gaining the favour of diverse and contradictory factions.
It had arrived the moment to choose, however, and President Qiu was not ready to risk everything on the first move. His leadership was considered strong but it was not still consolidate enough. A fatal defeat could threaten to cause a sudden downfall.
