Kongeriget Danmark
Chapter 5: Destabilising
"The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling."
- Lucretius
With Lukas
After being baffled at the location that Mathias might go to, Lukas pondered more onto what he wanted to do in a certain place rather than the location itself. The idea that Mathias would go somewhere and do something important, nonetheless not in his country, has stumped Lukas well. If he would do that, then it meant something very important.
But other than pondering at his own thoughts, he needed to fix his own problems. Falling little by little into the recession, Lukas was now feeling a full force headache. He wanted this little charade of Mathias to end. Who knows who will suffer next? Most doubtedly the whole of Europe, of course. Walking to his office, he sat down and drowned himself in paperwork that he needed to do a few days ago.
In Novgorod
"Russia, my old friend, have we gone into agreement into the terms of our alliance?"
"Da, we have. Although you wanting to do this baffles me, friend. Care to tell?"
"I'd rather not tell you now Russia. I shall when the time is right."
"Alright, Denmark. Just telling you I'm here, da?"
"Sure, Russia. Tak."
"Пожалуйста."
Leaving the little conference room, both Russia and Denmark head to the study to talk about the plans they had conceived. Denmark was glad about this. And so was Russia. Denmark wanted revenge, Russia wanted friendship. Forming this alliance would benefit both of them. Denmark had been an old friend of Russia. The Nordics only prevented him to see the big giant, and thankfully, Russia understood him. He did not like the others anyway. Entering the study, they now go on, to talk about their plans and to make sure the world suffers.
Denmark's plan has now begun.
A month later
In the World Meeting
The inevitable meeting had come. Denmark, in his rotten luck, had to go as his responsibilities as a country. He was in front of the doors, wanting to compose himself before entering. Sighing for relief, he stood here for a good full minute, then entering inside.
Thankfully, the Nordics have not arrived yet, he thought. Seeing the usual members of the G8, he went to his new spot, beside Russia. Sitting there, he was sent a strange look from the others, except Russia. Shrugging it off, he grabbed his paperwork in his bag and went on to study them. Sitting beside him a few minutes later, Russia looks over at what Mathias was studying. Smiling at the sight, albeit small, he gave Denmark a soft pat on the shoulder, signaling his prescence. No doubt, Mathias acknowledges it and smiles softly at the giant.
The others, though, are horrendously shocked at the sight, except Canada. Since when did Mathias and Ivan became friends? And since when was Mathias not afraid of the giant. They knew asking him now would give no good result, so they waited for the Nordics.
Surely, 30 minutes later, the Nordics came. Suffering their own headaches, the group notices the silence in the room, and next the weird, sitting pair. Lukas himself was greatly shocked at what he saw. Now having a realization, he now knew that Mathias went to Russia and had a small meeting with the giant, the details of it, he does not know.
As everyone came in the meeting, the meeting itself went smoothly, if you would ignore the whispers of gossip pertaining to the two. Although all of those whispers were in earshot of the pair, they paid it no attention. They were playing this game, and they would make sure they would win.
Causing widespread panic amongst the nations. Check.
And as the meeting ended, Russia and Mathias slowly left the room. They both knew what to do next. If both of them wanted to give birth to a new empire, they needed to place their pawns carefully. Mathias knew Lukas had been trying to find out his plans and Russia knew he would become a serious topic during the EU meeting months later.
They both needed to divert their stalkers and play their game carefully. After all, the both of them did not want their plan to cease immediately. They wanted to make this happen, and they will do everything to do so. Even if it requires great familial sacrifices.
Mathias wanted to slowly force the Nordics down the recession, while Russia wanted to cripple the European powers slowly as well. They needed to kill them slowly, and then deliver the coup de grâce. After all, mercy should not be granted onto the merciless.
With Mathias
He was smirking inwardly. His plan is working to his design. Next, he wanted to divert Lukas' attention at the moment. So why not completely close all relations with him, he thought. He went on to his meeting with his government about his plans. Although the government disagreed strongly at his idea, he mentioned that Russia would be supporting them in their future endeavors. Although he knew that Denmark itself was prospering quickly without the other Nordics, Mathias was still baffled at the disagreement of his own government, but he paid it no mind. At least in the end, he got them to agree.
Little by little, they will suffer. Little by little will a new empire rise. Little by little will Denmark satisfy his craving. Little by little, Mathias would destroy the world.
