Kidnapping Attempt by Dollet Foiled

Ilon Torway – Deling City Times – During discussions between old allies Galbadia and Dollet have been broken off suddenly by a betrayal from Dollet. The Galbadia ambassador was taken by surprise when a strike force from Dollet attempted to kidnap the ambassador. The attempted kidnapping was meant to increase leverage on Galbadia during territory and resource negotiations.
The week long summit came at a critical time for Dollet that was suffering from a weakening economy from a poor year of production due to mining drying up and harvest yields being lower from a mild spring. It was the hope of Dollet to gain new land from their old ally to the west that would have rich resources to bolster their economy.
During the last day of the summit it had become clear to the Galbadia ambassador that Dollet was unwilling to back down on their demands and announced his intention to leave the summit. This triggered the angered Dollet representatives to strike back so to hold a stronger hand against Galbadia.
However, their plan to kidnap the ambassador failed as the Galbadia military elite soldiers stationed at the summit prevented the attempt. The Dollet ambassador was taken into custody as well as the conspirators in the desperate deed.
President of Galbadia quickly made an announcement about the traitorous act in front of the residents of Deling City declaring, “We will strike back at this act of aggression against our peaceful nation. Dollet was our ally and this betrayal deeply wounds me. We shall have justice!” The President had no comment after the public address.
The counterattack against Dollet took place in the early morning after the summit when the amassing troops of Dollet were discovered. The troops of Dollet were positioned to take the land that they were demanding by force. General Doules led the attack on Dollet making a lightning strike on the Dollet military quickly routing them from the Galbadia border and driving them back into their nation.
The Galbadia military stopped short of the capitol waiting for the defeated nation to give their surrender. By the afternoon peace was restored to Galbadia and Dollet with the signing of their surrender. Those caught at the summit will be sent to Deling City where they will be giving trials for crimes against Galbadia.
The citizens of Dollet have praised the arrival of the Galbadia soldiers that brought peace back to their tired and worn land. The people look for to a new future with discussions starting to bring in Dollet under Galbadia, but for now they remain independent. The President is said to be making another address soon to the people by TV broadcast thanks in part from Dollet’s new support from the citizens.
