It was not difficult to understand why people felt a sense of dread in the air after the headlines were printed and the public was made aware of a diplomatic summit happening in Hanseong between the European heads of state.
Not since the end of the Second Weltkrieg had such a massive gathering of monarchs, statesmen, generals and ambassadors been undertaken.
And it was held behind closed doors within a nation far to the East. For many, this was a sign of a third world war.
And in nations with less strict control over what the press was allowed to publish, this sentiment was shared openly.
But the German Reich and its outlets refrained from commenting on the meeting, other than it was an economic summit.
Bruno had spent the next few days hammering out the details with the European monarchs, this was the first summit of many to come. And was what would later be referred to in unofficial channels as the Annual Imperial Forum.
