The events in the East are both concerning and intriguing...

who said the noble Czar was moving to either of those places, infact the Czar has to go and check what orders he gave his troops as he cant remember, I hope the Kaiser will not violate the Nap and the dmzs as the Czar is not moving to either of those places

The Czar will also like to say that a move to silesia or prussia by the glorious russian troops will be taken as an act of war as the Czar has no intention of moving there

The Czar meant the glorious German troops correct, it would be strange if he considered his own troops as an act of war against himself. I am not moving to those areas as I previousyl agreed with you way back when. I merely wonder where the both of Austria and Russia could in their western game.

I agree with France, concerning and intriguing.

lol sorry for the typo

dont worry, my posts are riddled with them

France, I surely hope that your move to burgundy is not to join the let's kill Germany attititude that has fallen on Austria and Russia, who may as well state their true intentions. In light of the current situation I may have to enter my german territories (perfore Russia uses this as a pretext for war notice may). Austria has shown his intentions, And russia has attacked England.

Her Majesty is gravely concerned at the recent developments in Norway.
It is clear now why the Czar wanted our ships to stay docked--so that he could sink them. Fortunately we had ships patrolling in the North Sea that were close enough to help against the Czar's assault.

Her Majesty invokes the NAP held with Germany and France. She is willing to have some diplomatic discussions with Russia, but does not hold great hope for a peaceful outcome.

To Germany and France:

Worry not, I shall hold completely to he NAPs we have negotiated. The move to Burgundy was very simply to leave Marseilles open for our next construction.

Perhaps now the time is right for the British fleet in the Mid Atlantic to return home to protect the Isles? We once again thank the British for all the help they have provided us.

The Queen/King of Britain may have as much fine wines as they desire, as a sign of our gratitude.

To Austria and Russia:

Lets hope you have not bitten off more than you can chew, or rather, failed to even bite it off.

To Turkey:

Does the Sultans foreign policy towards his northern neighbours rmain the same?


Théophile Delcassé
French Minister of Foreign Affairs

the Czar just felt like a visit to her majestys forces in norway i see nothing wrong with that.

Your "visit" was ill-timed as you knew most of our forces were helping to quell the Italians. It is indeed fortunate that you underestimated the fighting prowess of the British.

You claim it was a friendly visit. That is not what the reports from our fleet say. Had our fleet in the North Atlantic not arrived, the skeleton crew we left in Norway while we helped our allies would have been decimated and forced to flee.

we brought vodka and dancing girls how is that not friendly?

When the vodka is from Molotov and has a flaming rag sticking out of the bottle and your dancing girls are carrying Mosin-Nagants, well, I don't know how you Russians party, but it's a mite bit different here in Britain.

we maybe the we russians can show you how we party, i hear the land in germany is good to party on, maybe the french would like to join us and the austrians, and i shall party in norway no more

To the ambassador of the Russian Czar:

The French ministry is always happy to join in on parties, particularly those with beatiful women and refined alcohol.

We are however, slightly wary at this wording. Those partying on German soil without German permission have a tendency to end up in a bad way. Furthermore, the stories of drunk Russian soldiers are famous in thier infamy. We have no wish to involve ourselves in a Vodka-soaked brawl on a grand scale.

France then, must respectfully decline Russia's exhuberent but worrisome offer.

We hope your partying turns out well though.

Théophile Delcassé
French Minister of Foreign Affairs

The Czar says that boredom has lead him to find new lands to party in, and if it leads to a vodka soaked brawl so be it!

Her Majesty wonders if the Czar might occupy the Swedes while Our forces take care of the Cossacks?

The Czar wonders what cossacks her majesty is talking about

Humble apologies. our couriers have been experimenting with messenger pigeons, and can't quite tell them apart yet.

The above was addressed to the *Kaiser*...apologies.

very interesting, it seems her majesty has let slip something very important

There was no slip. The British have kept her word and her alliances. The Russians attacked us and we do not intend to sit idly by while an ocean separates our forces from their homeland. Neither do we intend to vacate Norway.

Britain calls upon her allies of Germany and France to come to her aid unless the Czar wants to discuss reparations.

To Britain:

As it would take far too long to get to the Arctic, it does not make sense for France to contribute military aid to Britian.

We will however, offer moral support to our British and German allies.

Théophile Delcassé
French Minister of Foreign Affairs

The Czar wont attack norway again,im going after germany if you want a slice of the action your more than welcome.

I must say, in some part of me I am impressed by your clarity and simplicity, Czar.

The Kaiser accepts Her Majestys offer to enter Sweden. I do not know what the russians have against germany, as there are plenty of other areas to show its distainful aggression. I will prepare for the war that Russia and Austria are going to commence.

To France, I thank you for being true to your word, you may notice that you cannot aid Britian or I in the north, but the Austrians have decided to kill their german brethen as well, and in such a case you assistance against them would be necessary for the Survival of Germany. We ask that you consider this under the terms of our alliance.

To Turkey, both your neighbors have shown they are willing to be savage in nature and bring war to europe, and as they are your neighbors you have no guarentee that they might turn on you as they have on me and Britian. I ask you consider if it would be wiser to join the west in a defense of our lands.

also, i would like to ask france to support hold munich.

also, to Britain, i think it would be best for you to move to Skaggerack, so that Sweden could be taken from the russians

To Germany:

I canot as of yet promise to attack any other powers. A mutual defense treaty was set up between the three western powers and it has not been broken.

I don't want to causeany undue hositility. I will however support hold at Munich.

Théophile Delcassé
French Minister of Foreign Affairs

Germany, as they say in the New World, a Deal is a Deal.

The terms of our treaty are as follows:
***
* No hostile acts against signatory powers. 'Hostile', in this case, includes attacking, supporting attacks, or failing to support agreed upon defenses. Details, of course, can be left to the diplomatic staff, but it should be fairly obvious to all what is intended in this clause

* An attack on one is an attack on all, and will bring an immediate response. This is meant as a defensive alliance, it should be noted, and the Sultan does not and will not encourage foreign adventurism on the part of his allies. Having said that, of course, it would be impossible to stand by while an ally was invaded by others, no matter the provocation.

***
The terms of the treaty are clear - any foreign moves that impact what is currently Russian or Austrian territory will demand a response. The undisputed fact that my neighbors are bringing it upon themselves is irrelevant.

As yet, however, no moves have been made that impact their territory; therefore, no response is yet justified. I expect that to change soon, of course.
