China:
Korea, I'm Puyi.
Vietnam:
He wasn’t alone.
China:
You don’t get to bring friends.
Vietnam:
They are not my friends.
Russia:
Don’t worry, no charge for them.
China:
Why would I want them?
Russia:
They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the empire. Of the rising sun.
China:
Japan?
China:
Get ’em on board - I’ll call it in.
China:
The flight plan I just filed with the Summer Palace lists me, my substates, and Korea here! But only one of you!
China:
FIRST ONE TO TALK GETS TO STAY ON MY AIRCRAFT! SO...WHO PAID YOU TO GRAB KOREA?!
China:
HE DIDN’T GET SPHERED SO GOOD! WHO WANTS TO TRY NEXT?!
China:
TELL ME ABOUT JAPAN! WHY DOES HE WESTERNIZE SO QUICKLY?!
China:
LOT OF LOYALTY FOR A HIRED GUN!
THIRD PRISONER (Japan):
Or perhaps he’s wondering why someone would conquer a country before sphering him.
China:
At least you can talk. Who are you?
THIRD PRISONER (Japan):
It doesn’t matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Japan:
Nobody cared who I was until I westernized
China:
If I pull that off will you die?
Japan:
It would be extremely painful.
China:
You’re a big country.
Japan:
For you.
China:
Was getting caught part of your plan?
Japan:
Of course. Korea refused our offer in favor of yours. We had to find out what he told you.
Korea:
Nothing! I said nothing!
China:
Well congratulations, you got yourselves caught. What’s the next step of your master plan?
Japan:
Sphering this continent...
Japan:
With no resistance!
China:
No this can’t be happening! I’m the emperor here!
Japan:
No, they expect one of us in the wreckage brother.
Java:
Have we started the fire?
Japan:
Yes, Great Power status rises!
Japan
Calm, down Korea. Now is not the time for militancy, that comes later.
