His Royal Majesty, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India, announces his intentions to perform naval exercises in the North and Norwegian Seas this spring. He trusts that the French will not make aggressive maneuvers into the English Channel, as such a gesture would threaten the loyal British subjects on the coast of England.

The King appreciates the humor of the German rumor-mongering and looks forward to future relations between our two great nations.

His majesty is grateful for the Russian gifts of Vodka and caviar. Expect a shipment of assorted fineries from Cape Town, Sydney, and Bombay to arrive in Moscow shortly.

I cannot stress the danger of an Aggressive Russo-Turkish alliance to Germany enough. Russia, having conquered Austria, will surely turn on the fatherland with all his strength. This is a sad war that threatens, but by no means a little one.

As founders of the German business model we would like to stress incentives.
To France/England: Whoever opens to the Channel we will gladly support into Belgium the immediate next turn.
To Russia/Turkey: If Russia opens to the black sea, we will give him Sweden (how nice of us). If Turkey opens to the Black sea we shall show our support by denying Russia sweden.

No need to tell me what you are going to do right now. Actions speak louder than words. Also, sorry to twist arms western neighbours, but I can't detail proper battleplans to convince you just yet in the forum. But our mutual enemy will surely be blitzkreiged.

Well, this is just war mongering by an obvious German/Austrian alliance....AUstria accuses both Russia and myself of aggression, yet he calls on other nations to wage war against us. Germany is audacious enough to think that the nations of the world are courting his allegiance as he exhorts any side to break areas of Demilitarization. Germany words are akin to those of a street prostitute who will court anyone who would favor her.

War mongering. In Diplomacy!

This is quite Clearly a game of Total peace, if only it wasn't for Austria wanting war, after all Austria is the Only person in such a strong defensive position that he is so Certain that he doesn't care about the possibility of war.

If Turkey and Russia are peaceful with one another, they must be allies, there is no avoiding it. To prepare Europe against this threat in simple sense.

Look, stab Russia, be stabbed by Russia, or face the wrath of Europe against you. It may be too late for me, but it will come, you can be sure of that.

Dear Sultan of Turkey,

I, Chancellor of Germany, do politely disagree with your assertion that I am a whore. I honestly believe that everyone should be courting my allegiance because I put out results. Dirty dirty results.

My offer of a division of peacekeeping troops in Greece stands. If both Austria and Turkey are concerned about the growth of the other, placing that territory under our protection offers you both a means of denying territory to your adversary without needing to garrison it yourself.

Did somebody cut the telegraph cables coming out of France? This might need to be investigated...

I, too, have wondered about the ominous silence coming from the nation of France. With a lack of clear direction from the top, one wonders if the nation is destined to collapse into civil disorder

Czar Samo respectfully asks of Germany to allow Russian forces to annex Sweden.

Erm... with only a few minutes left before this season ends, it may seem a slight bit late to begin communications, but it is surely more dangerous to give the appearance of being without government. I fear that the nations of Germany and England, being unlikely to read this before it is too late, will be tempted to move against me early, believing that I am absent and will provide them with easy early expansion. Certainly Germany has suggested that this may be favorable.
Thus, I would like to state now that I will be taking the defensive measures of moving to the English Channel and to Burgundy so as to ascertain that I will not end up in a greatly unfavorable position after this first turn. Once this move is concluded, I will be happy to move out of said territories, with apologies and the hopes that my neighbors will understand my caution.

England reissues it's earlier caution to France regarding the English Channel.

Germany would also caution France. You should probably move to picardy instead

Well, Chancellor, with the French rearing their heads only to openly declare aggressive action against us both and then neglect to respond to our timely replies urging caution, it seems we should band together to ensure they stay in their place. I urge you to consider repelling the French from Burgundy and supporting the King's fleet into Belgium this autumn.

Chancellor, I think you should take heed of the advice from Richard Sharp, who said that "The Anschluss is to my mind by far the best approach for Germany", and stop the expansion of Russia by bouncing him out of Sweden. It is a statistical certainty that doing this improves your chances at the expense of the Czar, and the Czar alone. When Russia and Turkey are so totally confident of one another's allegiance, we must act together.

Well your highness, I did tell you to move to the channel... but I also told France not to move to burgundy, quite the dilema. You will be moving the Kings fleet in North sea to belgium? I can't guarantee you that I'll support it in as France might respond by taking Munich, which nobody wants. But I'd move there anyway for sure. I will be keeping Ruhrs move private for the time being.

As for you sir Czar. I will allow you access to Sweden if you make me a rational argument to accept you. The archduke has made his, so lacking an argument from your side I will be following through with my incentive model/threat.

Yes Chancellor, the fleet currently in the North Sea will be attempting to maneuver into Belgium. The King's Army shall remain in the homeland to protect London. France will have to decide whether he thinks you will support the King's Fleet into Belgium, whereby leaving Munich open to him, or whether you will choose instead to protect your own province, leaving Belgium available to him.

France's third option, of course, is the one favored by the Crown: France could choose to make peace with all Britons and himself support the arrival of the King's emissaries in Belgium.

Perhaps this is a time to stop doubledealing and work out a more solid agreement? One that doesn't involve requesting both nations aid?

With respect to my German colleague, the Pontiff finds your disdain for "doubledealing" to be amusing in light of your attempts to turn England against France, and Russia against Turkey

Duly noted.

Although to be fair, the Russia Turkey one is part of general policy to be anti-juggernaught, something I think you should appreciate.

And recognise as sound also.

The Pontiff reiterates his opposition to the Juggernaut, as well as his pledge of nonaggression towards Austria. He questions whether the actions of Austria have called out a Juggernaut or *provoked* it, but the die appears to have been cast.

Nothing I did was necessarily double-dealing. Nowhere is it written that any of the three of us must fight any of the others...

The Pontiff has spoken wisely. The Austrian/German empire has tried to undermine every nations attempt to secure peaceful borders between other nations. I also fear that The Pontiff has been precongnizant in his recognition of the threat of the free flow of trade in the Mediterranean and would ask him to consider what steps may be taken this season that would reduce that threat. If no threat exists, then Turkey would have lessened need to improve its own naval position.

Sultan,

While the Pontiff regrets the circumstances that place you in conflict with his neighbor, the course that appears to be set for battles to the east of Italy.

While it is not our place to instruct nations how to interact with each other, it is undeniable that were the rule of the Dual Monarchy overthrown, the Ottoman Empire would have few options for further expansion. You, as I, are in an unenviable position, with much of the future set inevitably in motion. Our choices have been made for us by others, and as frustrating as that may be, I see no solutions in the short term that can act in a way to reassure both our great nations. The Pontiff truly has little choice but to increase his own naval strength this year, and he fully understands that the Ottomans will likely do the same.

However, while the future to a degree seems set, the Pope is more than aware that Man is a fallible creation, and is open to other options.

The schizophrenic leader of the Dual Monarchy envies everyone else on the board.
