In the clandestine meeting room within the Malacañang Palace, Alfonso, along with his trusted ministers, delved into an in-depth discussion about the factions vying for control in China – the Yihequan, Royalist Party, Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and Kuomintang (Nationalist Party).

Foreign Affairs Minister Carlos began by presenting a comprehensive overview of each faction, their ideologies, and potential benefits or drawbacks for the Empire of the Orient.

"Your Majesty," Carlos began, addressing Alfonso, "let me provide a brief overview of the factions we are considering.

Aligning with them could lead to an unstable and unreliable partnership."
