STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION IN THE SICR
Addressed to the Second Imperial Chinese Republic
9/5/2020
President Ebston Feish
Good evening to my fellow Derusmians and Dragonaii.
As you have probably already heard in the news, Emperor Admiral Jinduming von Nanjing of the Second Imperial Chinese Republic passed away this morning. The exact details of his death are still unclear, but all we know is that there is no evidence of foul play, and that he peacefully died in his sleep.
Jinduming was a good colleague of mine, and a great friend too. He lead his nation with integrity, passion, and humility. During his reign, the SICR was risen from ruins and was transformed into a regional power by his dynamic leadership, and the impact that he has left on the nations of South Ardia is everlasting. It was he who had invited King Lapu and I to the SICR to found the South Ardian New Electorate, which now has 3 ongoing projects, and has strengthened the bonds between our nations.
For the remainder of this day and for all of tomorrow, the national flag will be lowered to half mast, in memory of Emperor Admiral Jinduming von Nanjing, effective immediately. To the Dragonaii all over the world, we mourn the death of your beloved ruler alongside you. May he Rest In Peace.
To Crown Prince Jinxingguo, New Derusmia is at your service for any issues regarding foreign affairs, democratisation, etcetera, if you may need it. As for the current issue of a possible internal conflict, the Nordheit 3rd Mechanised Infantry Division is now mobilising in the event that aid is requested.
