2020-06-26 18:46:30 +0000 UTCIs there really a huge cat head in the South Pacific near New Zealand and Papua New Guinea with a rubber duck? I checked Google Maps but they didn't have one. 76 BC In the Japanese Empire, the new Japanese Emperor Sujin, who had taken Power after the Death of Emperor Koizumi, takes the Position of Attacking the Chinese from a new Angle. The Malays are a Group of Imperialistic Dreamers on the Island of Sumatra who had Originally Migrated down from Cambodia in Southeastern Asia. As soon as the Japanese have Occupied the Loosely Populated Philippine Islands, they start to Fund the Malays in their Attempts to Expand to the rest of Indonesia and South East Asia. In Exchange, the Japanese will Remain in a Sacrosanct Alliance and the Malays will never Enter into an Alliance with China. 1213 In the Sri Vijayan Empire, a Nation highly Dependent on International Trade Wealth, is not Able to send its Ships through the Red Sea or the newly re ~ opened Suez Canal that lets Boats continue to the Mediterranean Sea and, hence, to Europe. The Non ~ stop Wars between the Powers in that Region have deeply Hurt the International Trade Situation, which had Flourished before the Break up of China. It is because of this Situation and its bad Effects for Sri Vijaya that Sri Vijaya begins to send out Missions of Exploration to try and Discover an Alternative Route to Europe. 1450 In the Sri Vijayan Empire, the Great Age of Sri Vijayan Sailing is Drawing to its Close. The larger Populations that the American Crops have Created have Caused a Shortage of Wood in some Places. As a Direct Consequence of Building the Great Chinese ~ Style Junks that the Sri Vijayans need for Travelling the Oceans is often seen as a Waste of Resources. The Sri Vijayans have Sailed as far as is Humanly Possible with the Technology they Currently have, and the Islands of their Archipelago are well Populated. There is no more Virgin Land for them to Sail and Trade over Thousands of Miles for Tools and Slaves is just not Worth it. Sri Vijaya itself Remains an Ocean ~ going Empire and continue to Sail for vast Distances ~ Persian Shahs still Dine on Sri Vijayan Cuisine, Arabian Women still Regularly Scent themselves with Sri Vijayan Perfumes, and European Kings are still Prepared to Pay Jaw ~ Dropping Prices for the latest Oriental Fashions [much to the Disgust of the Religious Authorities] but these Voyages are now the Exception rather than a way of Life. P.S: I think it's now One Month since we had our Cat put to sleep...it's too quiet here now without him being there to greet us when we come home.
