Duongzhou, United Republic of Tieguo | 28 Ochtyr 1595
About 10 hours after the incident, an urgent session of the National Military Council gathered in Duongzhou. Although officially not a member of the National Military Council, Qiu Yu Zhao, as both President of Tieguo and General Secretary of the Tieguonese Nationalist Party attended the meeting as usual.
General Qiang Zhen Lau was the first to speak, giving a detailed summary of the situation.
"It is our chance to crush Singan for good", Admiral Zhen Huang Chong said, as soon as Qiang ended his explanation. "We can teach them a lesson so they can accept to negotiate under our own terms".
President Qiu Yu Zhao listened patiently Admiral Zhen's words, and although he did not seem to dissaprove them, he remained silent.
"Even when an army is blessed with the winds of fortune, it is important not to precipitate toward the battle", Li Guanting Jin said, breaking the silence. As Chairman of the National Military Council, Li Guanting Jin was considered the most powerful man in Tieguo only after Qi Yu Zhao, although increasing rumours predicted that Li may retire soon.
"I agree, Chairman Li", President Qiu said. "We can keep pushing Singan toward our interests without need of such a hurry".
"But such Singanese provocation can not go unpunished", said Secretary of National Defense Dong Mu Yuen, who had often disagreed with President Qiu regarding the policy regarding war in Hôinôm.
"Certainly", President Qiu replied. "A prudent answer is needed".
"I must say, however, that is unlikely that such a move was decided in Kanjong", General Qiang Zhen Lau said.
"It could be the case", President Qiu answered. "If that would be case, it is correct to keep the plan, but just increase the intensity. We will continue to tie increasingly smaller silky bows around Singan's body, and before they realize, it will break down".
"The armed forces are ready for any task", Commander Shi Bai Zhou said.
"Excellent", President Qiu said. "Let's just increase the numbers of fighters testing the airspace, let's say by four, and increase their aggresiveness when they are approached by the enemy. And if the next time both approach our airspace, let's shoot down the Singanese from land if necessary".
"Yes, President", Commander Shi Bai Zhou.
"Meanwhile, let's increase the diplomatic pressure as well", President Qiu added. "And we will order Secretary Fang to tell our men in Tay Lahn to become...let's say, more creative and active along the Singanese border. If the situation does not improve, we'll see if we can improve pressure on the Bay of Tieguo".
"Yes, President", Admiral Zhen Huang Chong. "The navy is ready to act as soon as it is required".
"Well", Li Guanting Jin said, "now that issue seems to be settled, we can move to the next points of the session, the contribution of the armed forces for the new Plan of Stability and the last report from the Department of National Security regarding the current situation in Hôinôm.
