With the newly established aerial fleet, it was also ordered by the president about the creation of 10 t-30c 6th gen multi-role fighter squadron. A newly invented aircraft capable of traversing the sky at the speed of Mach 3 and can easily outrun and outmaneuver the latest 5th gen fighter of both the US's F-35 and Russia's Su-57.
The newly modernize air force are now one step above the other units though the resupplied army of the Philippines are still capable of rivaling them. And within the air force field of Subic, Pampanga formerly occupied by the US, a t-30c squadron is being deployed in a patrol mission where in two of the best pilots will survey the air territory of the Philippines for possible spy aircraft.
Of course the navy, despite it being behind the air force, still has their uses. It deployed a fleet of frigate and tens of coast guard patrol ship.
Why are they doing this? Mainly due to the recent deployment of the newly invented air battleship that shock the entire world. Since then, multiple ships had tried to get close or even enter the Philippine territorial waters.
The United State even form a Hawaii Treaty limiting the amount of air fighter production just to hinder the Philippines's military growth. They also threatened them by giving another hard sanction making the lives of the OFW that hasn't returned more miserable. This threat however was simply trashed and deem as bluff by the Philippines.
Because of this, most OFW that was left behind decided to return and was happily welcomed by the Philippine Republic. They were given homes, job, and a year of tax-free life. The Philippines now have 310 million citizen and enough manpower to run a stable economy.
All of this happen within three months and by the time the next year come, the completion of the aircarrier will soon be finish and deploy for combat-use. It has a length of ten soccer field and can carry around 700 aircraft.
Ramirez was delighted by this news while Gonzales has his palm on his face. Such expensive creation is still in progress while they just barely able to have a stable economy. However, in the face of an overwhelming foe in their world, it's still reasonable.
This basically means that the Republic of the Philippines is preparing for war. A war that will soon change the power order of the world.
"With your rapid military growth, the entire country on earth has its eyes on you. Do you know what they're thinking? You're preparing for war!" Gonzales can't hold his thought anymore and complain about the president's action.
"Well that's their problem, not mine. I'm simply doing it so I can defend myself independently. They have no concern to us, remember they forcefully isolated us from the rest of the world."
"But-"
"No buts. I'm tired, I need a rest." The president seem determined about his goal, making the Philippines a new superpower.
Gonzales can only sigh from the stubbornness of his superior. Though he always support him, he still worry about his being. He currently hold the most powerful position on the entire world and a single order of war to his will certainly change the once known world.
The president left on his back as the two person stare at it. Irellet and Gonzales look at it with a worried face.
"Why does he have such strong determination?"
"It's been his dream before, he thought such dream is impossible so he set it aside and live a normal life. Well, even if run through the Frontline just to enact his dream, I will follow him wholeheartedly." Still worried, Gonzales made a wry smile which made the eyes of Irellet shine from admiration.
"You're brave. I wish we could have such determination too."
"It's not bravery, it's loyalty." For a second, Gonzales seem sad about it but it soon change to a serious one.
"We should head out, there's almost no end to our work, we might as well lessen it." Gonzales suggest.
As they head back, Irellet look at the president's direction as she remember about her sister's word.
Such person will bring destruction to his surrounding and even his most trusted adjutant will not stop him. They're brave yet foolish. Irellet wants to see what will happen.

On the other world is a girl who suck at socializing. Her new friends seem forced to communicate with her and she only talk at minimum words.
She thought about returning but there still have five months left before the school ends. And if she tries to stop now, surely her image as a princess will be ruined.
Thus, she's stuck here while her sister have her fun.
