"The English Army Prepares for War"

Germany also waves its finger and warns Britain not to issue rash and unthought of ultimatums in the future, and has added that Germany will not respond to the latest ultimatum and has sent a stern warning to Britain should they attempt to seize Sweden for their own imperial ambitions.

Germany has warned that as Britain is the aggressor, entente powers are not elligible to declare war on Germany and has added that this would be condemned and considered an act of powermongering on behalf of the entente powers should they be aggressor nations in a war against Germany caused by the folly and irresponsible attitudes of London.

Sweden and Germany have long ago entered a partnership for the export of Swedish iron ore and Germany has but mobilised her forces to insure that German interests in Sweden are protected from the imperial idiocy of the British.

Dr. Nick · January 31, 2002, 01:23

Germany has also advised entente powers to put the British Foreign Secretary back in his cage save he cause more trouble to the sensible and infinitely more responsible governments of the other entente powers.

Due to the irrational hostilites in Europe, Spain has decided to sever her alliance with the Empire of Germany, but peace is wished with Germany and all of Spains european neighbors.

So damnit i'm neutral! lol

Dr. Nick · January 31, 2002, 01:35

Germany is angered by this rash decision by the Spanish, afraid of the bullying of Britain, and has added that if Spain declares itself "neutral for posterity", Germany has agreed to sign this treaty (such as the Belgian treaty, broken by the British themselves, sworn protectors of Belgium) and has added that Germany will respect and uphold Spanish neutrality for posterity if Spain agrees never to make war on any other European nation.

SunTzu · January 31, 2002, 01:46

Spain does not want war.
Here's the game.

King Furious at German Statements!
Yells and Rattles Sabre Loudly

Following the German government's recent statements and actions King Case today called in the German ambassador. In what palace insiders describe as a 'crazed, screaming monologue' the King abused the German government's feeble attempts to split the mighty Entente.
The King forcefully explained to the German ambassador that "the ties that bind the Entente are ones of steel far stronger then Prussians could recognise, let alone ever produce".

Journalists from La Repubblica later witnessed the German ambassador leaving the palace, and are willing to swear that the 'man' was visibly shaking, and as such represented a fine example of what happens to feeble Prussians who encounter Italian fire!

In order to show solidarity with Britain and further strengthen British resolve against the German menace, the Italian Embassy in London is printing and distributing the following poster:

French government worried
The Chamber of Deputies today voiced apprehension at the rapid worsening of international relations in Europe.

The Foreign Minister, Albert Tuliés, released a statement urging Italian, German and British leaders to 'all calm down and state their greivances and requests using reasonable language. Perhaps then this mess can be sorted out.'

The French Government has also delivered a communique to the Kaiser, informing him that Sweden is due to be annexed by Russia, not Britain. The message reportedly assures him that the flow of Scandinavian ore across the Baltic will be un-interrupted by the Tsar.

However, the Premier himself has expressed intense disapproval of the German ambassador's recent choice of words in describing the British. 'There was no call for such a tirade against the British,' he said in a public address in Paris today, 'and they have served only to exacerbate the situation.'

But similarly, the Premier was unhappy with the Italian comments on the situation, and has gently chided King Case I. 'Such a belligerent rant is also hardly helpful, given the present situation.'

Premier Winterfritz concluded his address by expressing his hope that the Swedish affair may be resolved without resorting to force, just like the many crises that have preceded it.

King Soundwave Retires
King Soundwave Retires, he leaves in his wake not a Price or King but names President S.Richards, as the Monarchy Retires to Wales Estates in dire times... as King Soundwave the I was leaving it has been said that he told the President "do not back down once more"

New President in Charge
The King has call ed him a President not a Prime Minister as he does not have to asnwer to the Monarchy in anyway...
the President said today "we will no longer be slient from Germany agression, the British Empire will stand up against you and you will feel our Roar and bite of the British Lion!"

Dr. Nick · January 31, 2002, 10:57

Germany now realises that Britain never truly renounced or denounced the entente and it was all but a ploy to rave and rant at Germany and force Germany into a war with Britain where Germany would be the aggressor so that the other entente powers would declare war on Germany, forced to do it by German aggression!

Germany is disgusted at the actions of Britain and shall not renounce to the city of Malmo or Gotenborg, too close to Germany to allow foreign powers to take them.

Under the terms of the Berlin Conference of 1884 we will race the other powers to them.

Soundwave · January 31, 2002, 15:11

President Richards Issues this Statement-
"if any German Imperial Navy or German Army enters any Sweedish City you will be fired upon, and a state of War will decleared... I hope Germany thinks wisely.. Also we don't need our Allies they are weak and WE are the only ones that stand up to you!"

Letter to the Kaiser

In a short missive sent to the German Kaiser, the Grand Vizier Cyrion had to clarify the Sultan's position regarding the events unfolding around Scandinavia:

"Though the Second Reich has been as a big brother for us for many long years, we can only deplore your stubbornness in these matters! We are not asking that you leave the swedish cities to be occupied by other nations, but at least that you would be willing to discuss the fate of the scandinavians before doing anything rash that would throw Europe into war...

So we have to agree with our spanish brothers and renounce our Alliance with you, as we don't want to be caught in a war between the British Empire and the Second Reich!

Nonetheless, the good done to us in the last century hasn't been forgotten and we wish to remain your friends! Your merchants will always be welcomed in our country, as we hope ours will be in yours..."

Letter to the King Soundwave

In another, rather more exuberant, letter, the Grand Vizier thanked profusely the Great King Soundwave for all the help His enlightened governement has been offering to the Ottoman Empire and wished Him a peaceful retirement. According to some sources, Judges and Professors educated in England are already in transit to Istanbul were their skills are greatly needed! Be cautious, o criminals and dunces, because your time is nearly over...

Moreover, the british specialists already in the country have taught the peasants new ways of cultivating to get better crops, while the finance advisers were shown how to get return on money...

Letter to the Foreign Office

Another letter was sent to the British Foreign Secretary to advise him to hire a new translator, as the last letter sent to the Ottoman Empire sounded a bit too much like a threat, wich was undoubtedly not necessary, and probably unintentional...

Letter to the Czar

Regarding the Russian fleet, the Grand Vizier thanked the Czar for His comprehension and assured Him that His ships would be welcome! Having the support of the Russian and the British on the Istanbul Treaty is the best way to securize the straits...

Letter to Premier Winterfritz

The last letter was sent to Premier Winterfritz of France to congratulate him for his coolness in these difficult times! If all the Rulers were as serene as the Premier of France, it would be much easier to maintain Peace in Europe...

Taranto welcomes British Squadron

Several ships of the Royal Navy's new Adriatic Station today visited Taranto, headquaters of the Italian 2nd Fleet. Townspeople flocked to the waterfront to see the mightly British fleet anchored in the harbour, and to meet the noble and brave British sailors.

The well named HMS Majestic in Taranto harbour

During ceremonies to welcome the fleet, townspeople cheered Taranto's mayor when he anounced that an even bigger British squadron was currently in the central Adriatic for exercises with the Italian navy.

Following the celebrations, Taranto police had to disperse a large crowd from outside the city's German consulate. Aparently the crowd had gathered to mock the Germans for their nations military weakness.

Case · January 31, 2002, 23:42

During a routine audit, Foreign Office officals discovered that Italy had mistakenly been set as allied with Germany. This mistake has now been corrected, and the clerk responcible has been fired.

The Italian government wishes to apologise for any missunderstandings which have arisen from this affair.

Britian Send more aid
Britian Today promised to send more aid to Italian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, in form of techs, and maybe miltary.

Grand Vizier applauded by French government
Upon the reception and reading of the Ottoman Sultan's letter in Paris, the Chamber of Deputies broke into spontaneous applause. Premier Winterfritz spoke for all the ministers present when he said 'We are most pleased and humbled by the Ottoman government's glowing compliments.'

He went on to add that the Third Republic most warmly extends the hand of friendship to their brothers the Ottomans. Although France is not one of the nations presently providing Turkey with concrete aid, he hoped that this generous communication heralded a future filled with 'co-operation and prosperity between our two peoples.'

Moroccan campaign continues
Meanwhile, in French North Africa, the Grand Armee's campaign to subdue the savage Berbers of Fez continues. An artillery division launched a successful assault on the city this month, and it is expected to fall quite soon.

King Case going on holiday

King Case today announced that he was taking a long holiday on royal estates in Somaliland. His ministers approved of his plan, saying that after the recent gamut of diplomatic crises which he had handled so well, King Case I had earned and deserved the rest.

To run Italian affairs while he was gone, he appointed a deputy named Wintero de Fritzi as Prime Minister. The new Prime Minister has been left detailed instructions of what needs to be done, and the government is confident that the Italian Empire is safe in his hands.

New Prime Minister makes first speech

The new Prime Minister of Italy, Wintero de Fritzi, made his first speech to the public in Rome today. He assured his allies that under his temporary guidance, Italy would remain just as committed to the Entente as she was under King Case I - if not more so.
