China sighed as his younger brother, Communist China, finished his fifth cup of coffee. "Little bro, having that much coffee isn't good for you." He said.

"I'll be fine." Communist went to get another cup.

China took the cup from his hands. "That's enough for one day." He held the cup out of Communist's reach as he tried to take it back.

"China! I need it!" Communist exclaimed.

"...You stayed up all night again, didn't you?" China asked.

Communist looked away. China sighed and set the cup on a table. "This is the fourth time this week--"

"It doesn't matter! We're in the middle of a war for our country's life, I'm stressed and worried!"

China stared at his brother for a few moments before hugging him tightly. "I know...and I'm sorry for being harsh on you... You're too young to be experiencing this..."

Communist sighed and hugged back. "It's okay..."

They sat in the hug for a while. "We'll kick that Imperialist out of our land, okay?" China smiled at his brother.

Communist nodded with a determined grin. Nanjing burst into the room. "中国！(China!)"

China pulled away from his brother and turned to the capital. "是的，南京？(Yes, Nanjing?)"

Nanjing showed China a letter. "罗马尼亚军团希望在战争中向我们发送设备。(Legionary Romania wishes to send us equipment in our war.)"

Communist China smiled widely. He remembered meeting Romania, and is very happy he wants to help them. "南京，给他写信。告诉他我们接受。 (Nanjing, send a letter to him. Tell him we accept.)" China said with the tiniest of smiles on his face.

"是的先生。(Yes, sir.)"

"完成后，赶快回到您的城市并躲藏起来。日本帝国可能有间谍找到您。(After you're done, hurry back to your city and hide. It's possible Imperial Japan may have spies to locate you.)"

Nanjing nodded and rushed out of there. "Romania wants to help us!" Communist China exclaimed once the capital was gone.

China smiled and gave his brother a pat on the head. "Indeed. Come, we need to talk to the war lords."

Communist nodded and and followed his older brother out of the house. Everyone needed to be ready to defend against the Japanese.
