Looking for a deepish sounding voice, something intimidating, shows authority
(condescendingly) You know Colonel, you’re not very bright…. You think our fighting force isn’t equipped to defeat an insurgency comprised mostly of women?
Your father didn’t know when to quit…. He took things too personal… talks too much too, Jesus Christ… but the man had an intensity about him…. He felt the need to put pressure on senior officers, make this big charade and then execute them, one by one… I chose another approach put pressure on the people… that’ll show you whose loyal Mako, mark my words, you pit the people against the military and the military will always win…
President Ryuk has issued an assault on our Northern Border, Prince Xander has graciously provided troop and formation movement, the carnage will begin shortly, our sovereignty will be challenged thus giving us a justified reason to wage war against the North …If you were on time you would know
A man of morals, he is caring but has an aura of authority and respect
I had to know your intentions, your file doesn’t contain much, career officer, analyst… no awards, no medals… you’re not of a noble family…. just average….. and yet you spoke up to the Supreme Commander of the Yang Dynasty, a family known to murder their own…. You’ve got some big balls, Colonel…. And I intend to use those balls
I know you’re upset, I know you’ve lost your homes, loved ones, perhaps even your will to live… but we have an opportunity here… we can end all hostilities in a peaceful manner with the least amount of bloodshed, IF you are willing to allow the military to handle this
You know what the funny thing is Mister President? The Sidonians said there would be only 2 outcomes… Peace or your defeat… although I’m sure they told you the same thing… They gave us both the tools necessary to finally end this conflict but said it would be up to us how it ends… and you chose fuck’n poorly
Passionate and level headed
NATO doesn’t care for our cause, they only care for their own safety
I’ll admit, we have no way of verifying if this is legitimate…. We’re already boots on ground… but if this is real we may very well be missing on a golden opportunity of a peaceful transition of power…
I need you to be straight with me…. Whose side are you actually on?
Timid at first but grows into a leader
Some good news sir… Our North Eastern forces have completely eradicated any chance of insurgency in the Hongawa District where our intelligence confirmed the location of a rebel hideout in the city… They are now moving toward Nonseong where they will join with the North Western Legion and push into Kumamoto, then into Shijing, moving their way toward Pochaek… If the campaign doesn’t hit any Obstacles our mission will be complete within the week.
(angry) Is that you Tao…. Trying to make a point… trying to say I’m just as responsible for the slaughter? Fuck you…. I didn’t sign up all those years ago to murder people senselessly…. I signed up because my family was starving! If the military didn’t control the distribution of food I could’ve done anything else!
(Authoritative) Lock him in the deepest darkest hole you can find and throw away the key
Believes he's making all the right choices, level headed.
It was a futile effort to appeal for western Sympathy… but we aren’t completely on our own, an unsuspecting third party has reached out to us to share their wisdom
Tian, my staff has done the research… the West insisted on a military presence on our border, the mortar shell that started the fighting…. Was US Made… and it only killed our own servicemen…. But the residue in the autopsy didn’t match the explosives the south used… they ignited a war on our soil after our longest uninterrupted period of peace
Well…. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from your government over the past century it’s that peace was never an option…… I look forward to meeting you at your war tribunal Colonel
NATO has been around for almost 3 centuries, they’ve had their hand in almost every world war or crisis be it humanitarian aide or deploying troops in almost every country… except for yours… until they needed a reason to
Mister President…. All warfare is based on deception… we have no reason to believe what they’re saying is the truth, we haven’t even reached their Capitol…. We’re talking about a region and people that knows nothing about restraint, how convenient of them that on the Eve of their demise they’ve staged a Coup d’état?
(annoyed/mad) if you thought we came here today to accept an international flogging you’re sorely mistaken, you people didn’t care about some backwater southeastern conflict halfway across the globe until you had a reason to virtue signal… we came here so you could ask us the hard questions so we could give you the hard truth, and the truth is Jinwan would still be here if NATO had given a shit… and they didn’t…
a man of few words, lucky, always smiling
Leaders are made Colonel, you publicly disagreed with a tyrant and lived, you have this in you
I know you southerners get a kick out of tormenting the enemy but…. It’s my recommendation we bring this to a swift end
(angry) The South was provoked! The moment a foreign government initiates conflict against another nation they lost their right to a fair fight!
Didn't see a British accent option, but Very British, and condescending
With all due respect Prime minister, Europe may soon be dealing with the North Western threat, NATO’s resources must be focused on Europe!
I don’t see why some small irrelevant Asian country needs to be the collective problem of all of Europe
What I think we’d all like to know right off the bat is why we are humoring two tyrants on the world stage in a civil manner?
Fischer is right, The Sidonians pose a far greater threat than a country using technology that’s nearly 6 decades old
Commander, my question is for both you and the Sidonians… Your nation was clearly very accustomed to warfare, as I understand it military service is a lifelong commitment, given that you have a standing army that must constantly be training, which could mean you could have easily repelled them… Why use a nuclear weapon?
Don’t you think, perhaps, had you made a case to the international community about it we could have worked with our NATO partner to end hostilities?
Tian, we’re not all apathetic to your situation, we just don’t have the ability to stage a 2-front engagement, how do you know if Tao is not open to diplomatic talks?
There’s no need for name calling Prime Minister
We can’t undo what was done… my main question is why? Why do it at all? You have the capability for greatness and you chose the path of destruction…why destroy when you can create?
Gives zero fucks, sense of authority, a boom in his voice, thinks he's right even if he isn't
You’re barking up the wrong tree Prime Minister, these people wouldn’t know how to conduct a military op if Sun Tzu came down on a flaming chariot leading the way
There are clear human rights violations going on but you sit and debate in a committee whether or not it’s your fucking problem to deal with
Tian, I understand your reasons, humanitarian, peaceful…. I get it, I really do…. But these people are starving, injured, dying, angry…. They crave freedom, let them create their own prosperity, don’t take that opportunity away from them, the last thing they want to do is serve under a foreign government, take it from me, my country did it all the time, it doesn’t work out…. Give the people the means to free themselves and let it play out, 9 out of 10 times it’ll be a positive outcome
Various different extras, can be male/female/ young/old
Sir, our last armored division has been whipped out in the neutral zone! All foot soldiers are in a retreat!
we’re not out of the woods yet sir… we’ve lost contact with the northern providence
Fuck that! Lets storm the Capitol!
