"One year, eight months, and two weeks. That is how long it has been since the Empire of Daitō signed the Cross-Straits Treaty." Prime Minister Heishi said as he stood up yet again. "For all that time, I, like many of my peers, had hoped that this arrangement would prove beneficial to our people, and yet, it has become clear that such is not the case. I need not remind you now what the consequences of this summit are, that Daitō would withdraw should negotiations fail, but I will instead leave you with this." He stated, his voice calm, his eyes on the remaining individuals at the table. "The Empire of Daitō entered this alliance under the belief that it would service our own interests as much as it would yours. However, it has become apparent in the last two years that this is not so, that the Cross-Straits Treaty Organization is as a corpse, and we will not be shackled to a corpse. As such, although the referendum will continue, likely to succeed as our people have grown disillusioned with the alliance, I offer you now our notice of withdrawal from the Cross-Straits Community, set for August the first of two-thousand twenty-two." He spoke before turning away. "I wish you the best, and while I would be pleased to work alongside you once more, this where we must part ways." He said before walking away, his delegation joining him, leaving them behind.
