[Kingdom of Singapore] Message to Taiwan

[Jace]

[PRIVATE MESSAGE. ENCRYPTED.]​ This message is intended for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs​ Salutations. I am King Vincent Wei I, rightful sovereign of the Kingdom of Singapore. I am reaching out to your nation personally to establish communication, both in hopes of friendship between our lands, as well as mutual benefit. Let it be known that the Kingdom of Singapore recognizes the Republic of Taiwan as a legal, legitimate sovereign nation. Any naysayers from more irrational neighbors shall be treated as the air around their words; like nothing at all. Now I did speak about mutual benefit earlier, and I do intend to address that. That said, I would prefer to have this conversation via video call or phone, to best fit in with my schedule. I do hope to hear back from your office as soon as possible. Thank you for your time. Vincent Wei I Kingdom of Singapore @Sumit

​ [PRIVATE LINE. ENCRYPTED.]​ A secure line has been opened up to the Taiwanese President.​ Vincent kicked his feet onto the cherry-oak wood of his work desk. In his right hand was a glass of bourbon-- his usual drink of choice when handling business. Yusuf, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, glided across the floor gracefully with a military-grade Smartphone sitting on the middle of a black platter. In an eccentrically regal fashion -- a bit too much for even Vincent -- he'd lower the platter to his King, and Vincent would pick up the phone and connect to the line with a smile. "Madame President, I suspect? I am King Wei of Singapore, although you may call me Vincent for simplicity's sake. In any case, I am glad to final speak with you directly."

Upon the screen opened, Madame President Tsai would be dressed formally, she would speak. "Greetings Your Majesty how are you doing today? I do apologize for calling you Vincent. I am surprised to see your message and willing to talk about our relationships in general. I was eagerly waiting for your call. What do I owe you a pleasure? I am happy that we can share our equal perspective and goals about our future relations."

​ [PRIVATE LINE. ENCRYPTED.]​ "The pleasure is all mine, Madame President." He'd take a sip from his glass before continuing speaking. "I'm reaching out to you, Madame President, in an effort to establish strong ties with your own. As the newly-ascended King of Singapore, I decided it was of the upmost importance to seek out potential alliances-- or perhaps better put, agreements of mutual benefit and understanding." Vincent would allow a moment for his words to sink in. "It is my goal to lead my people, and my nation, to economical and technological prosperity. I don't see that happening until Singapore itself retires her role as Asia's money center, and steps up as a regional power to contend with." Of course, such a task wouldn't be easy without the right support. "In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing Taiwan in the same boat. We do, after all, have a mutual threat looming across the South Pacific." There was a chance he was being vague on purpose. Then again, the combination of the Red Southeast Asians and PRC were equally issues to eventually deal with in his book.

"I agree with you, your majesty. It's because since when I first become the President of Taiwan, my first goal was to improve our armed forces. Developing more equipment for armed forces, we have become self-sufficient. So, be a powerhouse in Asian- Pacific region is very important because we have tough neighborhood. Not only we have to think about financial situation plus there are rising threats. As far as talking about mutual benefits, what do you like to envision in our relationship?"

@Jace

 

[Jace]

"For starters, we wish to open up our substantial market freely to the people of Taiwan. I believe an agreement to establish free trade would prove extremely beneficial for both our nations. Second, I would like to increase our ties militarily as well. Our military is rapidly expanding and modernizing, but with these drastic changes came a hit at our overall readiness. Joint-training exercises between our country could prove useful, in the case of one of our neighbors becoming aggressive. Assuming we can come to an agreement, It would also be in my interest to contract Taiwan's defense industries, specifically for the expansion of our navy."

"Free Trade Agreement can be arranged. We have a signed document is ready for you. I will email them immediately. In the meantime, I would like to follow up about your navy. Recently Taiwanese Navy started to develop indigenous guided missile destroyer. The destroyer project will be beneficial for our allies and ourselves. Because the specification of Taiwan-class Guided Missile Stealth Destroyer is entirely indigenous Taiwanese Technologies and armaments. For your navy, we can provide you frigates, destroyers, corvettes, missile boats, submarines. Give us the estimate amount how much are willing to spend to build the naval package. I just emailed FTA to your majesty few minutes ago. Please Have a look: Free Trade Agreement. What kinds of military exercises are you willing to participate?"

 

[Jace]

An aide would bring Vincent his tablet, where the documents were carefully reviewed and the call went on a momentary mute. "Looks good, Madame President. I have e-signed the document a few moments ago after reviewing it with my advisers." Vincent smiled as he handed the tablet back off screen. "Ah, yes. I was rather impressed upon hearing about the Taiwanese navy and the lengths your nation has gone to produce vessels domestically. Altogether I am willing to dedicate up to three and a half billion [3,500,000,000.00 USD] towards the goal. We are extremely interested in acquiring Guided Missile Destroyers, as well as Stealth Corvettes and frigates. I will hold off on the submarines for the time being, although I will specifically request Amphibious Assault Vessels to be added to the package as well. Our goal is to have a navy capable of projecting power across the Southeast, in the short term. Naval Logistics will be important for our doctrine to be successful."

"As for military exercises, I am not in the mind to be timid when it comes to displaying the Singaporean intent to protect itself. We offer full military cooperation between Singapore and Taiwan, and will commit Land, Air and Naval units in order to increase readiness among all our armed forces."

"We have prepared a naval package for you. The package includes 6x Cheng Kung-class frigate, 8x Tuo Chiang-class Corvette, 2x Kee Lung-class Destroyer. The total cost comes in $2,800,000,000. Please transfer the funds to Taipei Defense Inc Bank account. We have Pan Shi class fast combat support ship which specifically use as Amphibious assault vessel. We are providing you domestic production rights for Tsai Ing-Wen class ASW Frigate, Taiwan-class Guided Missile Destroyer and Pan-Shi class Fast Combat Support Ship. As Tsai Ing-Wen class ASW Frigate and Taiwan-class Guided Missile Destroyer are currently under development, upon completion of these two projects, Singapore Navy can produce them under license. For licensing these indigenous ASW frigate and Destroyer plus Pan-Shi class Fast Combat Support Ship, Singapore does not need to pay to Taiwan. We definitely agree with you."

"We appreciate the generosity and will return it in kind soon, Madame President. That is upon my honor as King. I will have the funds set to wire to your account by the time our meeting had ended." Vincent would raise a freshly poured of glass of bourbon as a personal toast to the historic arrangement. "I believe I've covered all our points. Did you have anything else to bring up?"

 

[Deleted member 5]

"We have reached out to our agreement. I am thinking to set up a trade route. We would like to export Crude oil. We also want to open Taipei to Changi flying route. This will benefits a lot of passengers. What do you think?"

 

[Jace]

"I have no objections to establishing a trade route for crude export. Also, opening up a route to Taipei would be wonderful. I believe the mutual boost in tourism would help to bring our countries closer over time."
