To: USA President From: Chinese Emperor

[lonewolf]

Mr. President, you read the subject correctly.

China has undergone a popular revolution and re-installed an Imperial form of government. With the last of the local warlords being rounded up, a unified china would like to express it's gratitude for the service of your Volunteer group, the "flying tigers" and other materiels received over the years. We officially request in this time of heightened Stress and warfare that these brave airmen continue on to train and fight by our side while we repel invasions from external sources, but we also wish that any substantial land or naval assets remain clear of sovereign Chinese territory unless asked for. This is to reduce confusion in the massive re-structuring and buildup of our own military, in accordance with Emperor Shu's wishes to be able to stand on our own.

We thank you for your time, and eagerly await a response.

Office of the Emperor (formerly office of the Republic communications)

Sir,

The American Volunteer group is a civillian force, they may continue to serve with the Chinese Military until further notice, also the United States Navy will stay clear of Chinese Territorial waters as much as possible. Good luck and we will provide assistance if possible.

Mr. President:

We are most grateful for your continued patience and assistance in this matter. As you are doubtlessly aware, our struggle with Japan goes on. As it looms, the need for raw materials and refined products increases. We are probably in no position to demand, or really even ask for anything from your great nation, but with what resources we can muster, we will rent or buy whatever you are producing that will help us reclaim our territorial sovereignty. We know your tenuous stance on this burgeoning conflict, and how you would likely regard the sale or import of arms as a means for the recipient to further escalate the conflict and bloodshed... However, I'm sure you can understand that we only want our own land back, and the means to sufficiently assure it is not threatened again. We already are leaning greatly on the kindness of friends, and wish to repay all debts when we are a unified country once more. May whatever God you pray to at night give you good luck and farsight in the weeks to come, as we struggle on.

Imperial High Office for Strategies and procurement,
By order of the Emperor himself.
