It had been four days at sea now, and Commander Framp gazed out over the prow of his boat. They must have been about halfway there by now, it was good that they had been kept quiet so far, any interference from foreign powers would have caused much annoyance, especially in tis central crowded zone of Europa. But it was due to heat up soon, the other natiosn could not have missed his fleet in the central seas of Europa, and must be shifting in their seats, despite not having voiced their concerns already. They surely would after King Phil's proclemation today.
The ten giant transport ships behind him took up alot of space, and he felt uncomfortable with only three naval ships as convoy, but he had been promised a second fleet would be sent once he had established a front in this Zone 97 area. He hoped General Burns was true to his word, he had no reason to doubt him.

King Phil VII stepped out onto the balcony of his palace and observed the crowd below, handpicked of course, couldnt have the normal rabble gathering below, couldnt risk anything today, it all had to go well.
"People of Philia! Today is a great day for our nation! today we will start to rebuild the what we once were!
Our population has vastly outgrown our means, you have all seen the way our people are living, it is not acceptable for a nation with our history and stature. Which is why I have initiated a great expension program for our naiton! As I speak now, there is a fleet of our ships sailing towards the savage region of Zone 97 with 10000 civilians ready to begin colonisation of this savage nation!
This will begin the final stages of the restructuring of Philia, relocating thousends of our population, people shall no longer be forced to live in these shanty towns, but shall assist in the forwarding of Civilisation and the greatness of Philia!"
Phil looked down at the now cheering crowd, smiling at the cameras at the back, the rest of Europ would soon know about this, soon know that the sleeping giant had awoken...
