The company had a stake in the survival of China, there was a natural wariness towards a monarchy considering corporate history but short term consideration required a stopgap to prevent further spread of supernatural unhindered. A counterbalance would be incredibly helpful to allow an extended build up to get the rest of the world engaged in a permanent solution or allow the company to act upon the endless expansion to benefit from the chaos. 

The flotilla in Singapore would head north and probe the South China Sea to a satisfactory standpoint that a both an encrypted message stating the time for a meeting and diplomatic aircraft could be sent through the region to meet with representative of the Chinese government. 

The expectation would be set the conversation was for economic and other forms of cooperation to ensure a secure Asian continent.

As far as the flotilla could tell, it seemed the new Chinese government didn't attempt the same claims as the CCP did in the South China Sea, however the man-made islands could still be controlled by the warlord government and the flotilla should take heed. The encrypted message that was sent to the Bao government reached Lady Baos ears, and it made her happy. recognition of their existence was great enough. A response was attempted back to the sending frequency stating any non-CCP painted aircraft - IFF or visual designs - would be able to fly through the Bao Dynasty airspace, but it was urged to be careful. The Communist Warlord government was still at war with the Bao Dynasty and other entities, and its supporters were up in arms as the region was still rife with infighting and trouble. Lady Bao requested to know from what location the aircraft would come in so they could find it and escort it, just in case.

 Drones would ping the Islands to locate any possible threats, unfortunately illegal syndicates tended to use ideal materials to avoid such detection. Instead bouys would get dropped near the islands to notice any irregularities, paranoia was a default in a chaotic world. Pirates and other forces of entertainment would be reached out to politely, the company had no qualms with bandits, and in china they served a very historic purpose. Chinese piracy was the most successful in human history, ensuring the corporation had free roam would be the best case scenario, the worst would be burning whatever possible while retreating.

The route would be sent upon the same channel, the fleets electronic warfare going along with the diplomatic craft as long as possible. The aircraft would use an IFF and a hail signal on public channels.

"This is MoG[Corp] diplomatic aircraft 005, any threats to this aircraft will be taken as a declaration of war and responded to in kind."

The 200 miles or so into China proper would be unescorted, but the company had prepared for a counterstroke to attempt to retrieve their diplomats.

As soon as information was given towards the location the 'MoG[Corp]' aircraft would be entering from, two fighter jets not of Communist Chinese design would be launched toward the incoming aircraft. Both the jets and and the airbase HQ would radio to the aircraft announcing they were enroute but not hostile. Bao Dynasty wanted to ensure safety to any diplomats coming into the country while they were still dealing with hostilities within their own nation and unknown forces surrounding the entire country.

"This is Kunming Military Airbase to MoG[Corp] diplomatic aircraft, we are advising you to accept our escort not as detainment but as protection. Should you need fuel at any time, request and we will alert our bases to your arrival. We request you make your way to Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, as our leader will be meeting you in Anyang. Transport will be provided, thank you."

The company jet flew above Mach 1.5 until the last ten minutes where it dropped to traditional speeds. It was an easy entrance from their protective layer to get to where they needed. The Foreign Affairs Officer Mandy Alfernick was excited for her first experience outside corporate territories. She recalled the chaos before the organization enforced a peaceful continent, and it looked like Asia was going to be similarly chaotic if there wasn't something done to bring about a more civil environment. A small entourage of 4 diplomats with two security personnel were all that traveled with her. While an important conversation it was better to keep things simple and faster in a changing environment.

The escort fighters caught up with the diplomatic plane, proceeding to direct them to the airport where they were to land. On the way, there was few and far between anti-air fire, but it was taken care of either by the escorting aircraft doing strafing runs, or nearby military facilities firing artillery or sending out their own close air support craft. At one point one of the fighters even flew in a position to shield the diplomatic aircraft from machine gun fire below. Once arriving, they were greeting by a full military entourage. This was a civilian airport, but it seemed the Bao Dynasty was under full martial law for the time being. A few dark colored SUV's pulled up and made the military personnel spread out or be dismissed, with three suits walking out. One of the men stepped forward, giving a slight bow and then extending his hand, "greetings, I am Li Yang. You may call me Mister Li, or if it makes it easier, please call me Mister Yanci, or Yanci is just fine. I am one of a few advisors to the Empress Lady Bao, please... let me welcome you to China." Li would pause, waiting to hear the response from the leader of this diplomatic group before finishing, "you may either speak to me or request an audience with Lady Bao herself, either way she will not take offense, the only issue is that you will be required to relinquish your weapons when you enter the Administrative Office of Lady Bao. There is a strictly no weapons of any kind permitted in the building, even by her own guard. But, I assure you, the choice is yours," he smiles.

The bow would be returned, just slightly lower enough to satisfy protocol and the handshake returned. "Thank you for seeing our diplomatic envoy! We would be satisfied with a meeting with yourself, a further audience with our CEO is an option for your queen but we wouldn't wish to speak upon their schedule. Personal Defense Weapons would be surrendered once we reach your facility, but why harm to diplomatic staff from that point forward would become a national responsibility." The jet would retain its own security operative, but the entourage would go along with the plan to meet at the diplomatic office. The jet would splurge on fuel to ensure it was ready at any given time, it would make the risk of a potential attack being more of a concern for welfare of the mission but it was a matter of ensuring the jet would be able to leave the airspace to a point of recovery rather than maximum range so it would be a pattern of fuel spendage requiring every few hours a top off which would take up to 20 minutes. Cost and benefit would always be a concern that they preferred benefits over cost.

Li Yang shook his head, "no, no, I apologize, perhaps I do not speak as well! You only need to remove your weapons in the presence of the Empress, you are free to carry your weapons with you should you just converse with me." He nodded, moving to the side and extending his arm to the second SUV behind the first, "you and your people may use the second SUV for your privacy, myself and my people will ride in the forward SUV. They are bullet proof, and we will be escorted to the office building, I promise your security is just as important as ours!" While the plane would not be offered free fuel, the price of fuel wouldn't be overpriced, and the aircraft would be permitted to take as much as needed for refueling. Local ground crew could also assist with any necessary supplies needed by the aircraft crew or the aircraft itself, such as maintenance. The airport was guarded at all times, similar to any military airport or fort, but the defenses were makeshift, showing the airport wasn't a military airport.

"I do apologise for any miscommunication!" Said with another bow, "During times of conflict it would be understanding to oblige only a certain level of interaction, we look forward to ensuring a stable relationship in Asia."

Observation of the pirates upon the coast would become the main objective, drones and the bouys would let the corporation decide how to bribe the illegal fleets into letting their ships go unhindered. Buying other ships would be what Singapore would be used for strategically under various illicit means.

There was no civilian flights allowed into the citystate, a blackout for any gps or similar systems enforced to keep the rest of the planet out of 150 miles or so, MoG[Air] would be the only airline available to reach Singapore and now The Cape now.

Casablanca would be still free to all airlines but all vessels within 150 miles would be met with an escort. The company's isolation would continue further now. The planet was falling to chaos and there was no reason beyond tourism to allow for foreign currency. 

What would be preferred would be free transit for corporate vessels and sales of weapons to those willing to fly black flags. It wouldn't be the ideal weapons but enough they would be able to defend themselves from opponents to keep the South China Sea free from government.

Li Yang took no offense, assuring the diplomatic persons that all was fine, in fact Li Yang wanted to make sure they hadn't taken offense. Even though the Bao Dynasty had airports and a coast, they still felt quite landlocked, so they prioritized internal stability. After entering the vehicles, the diplomats of Mog[Corp] were treated well, with a stable as possible vehicle ride, and offered drinks. Just because they were in a civil war didn't mean they couldn't have a nice selection to greet diplomats with! Eventually the long stretch of road in the city came to a local administrative building where the vehicles were parked. As the diplomats exited they could see once more the makeshift military defenses to harden the security of the building, with military patrols all around while gunshots can be heard in the distance. Li Yang came over to the diplomats vehicles and directed them to the building, "I am sure you have questions for us, I hope it is alright that we have questions, too. Oh, please forgive me, may I have your name?" He asked as he walked side by side with the forward diplomat attempting to show equality as they entered. The idle chit chat would continue until they came to an office, being greeted by the local employees all the way. Their weapons were not touch or spoken of the entire way, permitting their security. Li Yang entered the office after offering the first entrance by the diplomats before sitting down on a couch; there were two, facing each other at one end of the office room. The other end having what can only be presumed as Li Yangs office desk, "please, have a seat, speak freely."

Weapons that were similar to a P90 would be left where required, their triggers not allowing anyone else to fire them. The guards would simply exist in the room, barely a fly on the wall as CFAO Mandy Alfernick took over the room. "You have a wonderful country, it is eventful still but that can be dealt with so long as you are able to use a strong hand." Eventually deciding on the couch that was able to look out the windows if any in the room, if not the exit. "Short term we are interested in keeping the balance in Asia, long term we need to see the alternative colonization removed, and eventually our own departure. Your neighbors to the north are the main concern. Rokkenjima we have dealt with before and we are preparing for a similar conflict. Britannia is our only opponent in this conflict, but your nation is critical to ensure that Asia survives to the extent resources could be afforded to eliminate hunger and scarcity." Pulling out her phone a small holographic map of the planet appeared. "We have three primary concerns in every version of this map. Transportation is our business and we can ensure a cost below anything else on this planet. Unfortunately this also means that to ensure this security we need to have strategic abilities beyond a normal nation. South America, Africa and Asia upon the equator. These three or more positions allow our species with modern resources to eliminate scarcity for anything."

The map expanded to show the solar system."There are greater threats out here beyond missile spam or rods from god. Unlimited resources are out there but We are only able to reach them with global consent. This means the active nations must desire our same end goal. While not as short term as ensuring your civil war is a success, we have no issues affording that bill to ensure your support for our objective. The Asian link is your only concern, we will determine the Americas ourselves, and Africa has already begun the stairway to heaven."

Well, this was certainly something else. But as far as political discussions went, this seemed relatively tame in comparison. He watched the political individual walk around and take sights of his home country. He smiled as he appreciated the CFAOs admiration and opened his ears and mind to her proposal. "Ah, well, you speak of grand campaigns far beyond China at this moment. There will be a lot of rebuilding, and that is only after the civil war has been announced as being closed. However, and please correct me if I am not understanding this correctly - are you requesting.... Military Access, Trade Agreements, and Permission from China for Space Administration and Expeditions? We can provide all of this without issue, though we would request assistance in advancement of space-related technology; such as shuttles and space stations. Only so that we can also defend ourselves if such an enemy ...foreign or ...beyond comes. As well this... stairway to heaven, perhaps a metaphor of some kind? Well, should the resources and materials and proper combination be found, we could provide a workforce to construct such a... space elevator, if that is what you are thinking!"
