This new country "decided" to join our mighty empire

* Construction begins on a Panama Canal.

Nothing much to report... more exensive trading brings a continued flood of wealth to the empire. However, we wish to protest the German occupation of Milan. We had come to the belief that the city would remain in Italian hands for at least a year after the cease-fire with Italy was signed. We implore Germany to give up this territory to the neutral nation it belongs to! If Germany wishes to expand, it may pick up the pieces of the disintegrating empire in Turkey or further afield, and not threaten stability in Europe. Aggressive expansion threatens the balance of power.

Another minor blockade was also removed this month. By the time the year is out, they will all be gone, barring a possible continued blockade in the English Channel to ensure free access for British trading ships. We hope this arrangement is agreeable to all nations involved.

Let me get this clear. Does Britain want to block of the entire British Channel? Have they considered that they share this channel with France? The English Channel is one of the busiest routes in Europe, England can't possibly block that off without risking major anger within the trading houses of the continent.

Well I am back online now, so any time you want to play Pavlov is good for me.

Pavlov · August 30, 2002, 15:14

Oh dear, sorry all.

Must be school that's destroying my mind. (Or it could be me having gotten GJS, yay)

I'll post the save as soon as I've played.

Japanese tradeships stopped again, everyone's bloody annoyed
The Japanese govenment would like to know when Britain is intending to lift their blockade of the Asian sea-routes? We could always send our goods the other way if you plan to let your warships collect dust.

Which is best: apple or orange? Make your voice heard in our poll!

Emperor visits doctor for strange syndroms
The Emperor has lately been complaining about missing appointments and mistaking people for other people.

He has also been heard mumbling: "Can't tell these damn PBEM's apart"

The Emperor was ordered to get some rest from his tiring work and is expected to spend some time skiing in Europe.

Mmm... why don´t you pay as a visit? You know, baseball post-season is getting closer. Moreover, were´re hosting the basketball World Cup.
Please, visit USA!!!!

Pavlov · August 30, 2002, 16:49

Don't worry, academia. There will be plenty of time for us to spend time in USA. That is, after the great invasion takes place.

Yes, sure. What are you going to do? Attack Pearl Harbour??

Blockade near Singapore removed. Japan may now move it's ships through the area freely. The south Mediterranian blockade was to be removed this turn, however French ships were found blockading the Suez canal. Hence the forces will remain until the Suez canal blockade is removed.

Pavlov · September 2, 2002, 11:36

Thank you, Britland. The forces of capitalism prevail.

Japanese tradeship confirms that the British blockade has been lifted

Tradeships begin long trip home

More industrial and scientific investments!

Pavlov likes using bold text!

The French apologize for the inadvertent blockade of the Suez, our trade ship has continued on its coarse.

Pavlov · September 4, 2002, 01:39

Doh, almost forgot to report this. I landed a tradeunit close to Mexico City, the indys asked for a negotiation. Foolishly I accepted, they made all sorts of demands, I said no, and they declared war on me.

Just wanted you to know that this war is only temporary and I won't try an invasion.

I'll make peace as soon as I can.

techumseh · September 4, 2002, 02:21

Just patiently waiting our turn to use the Suez Canal.

We have again been unable to unblock the Suez canal this turn, as a German ship was found blocking our path. The squares 155,87 and 155,85 will need to be clear before we can unblock the canal. However, the other Mediterranian entrance was made open today. Also, the blockade south of Singapore was lifted.

In other news, the city of Lisbon today elected to join our huge empire. The Portugese realised the benefits of the Commonwealth both militarily and economically. Unfortunately, the transfer of power did not go without a hitch, as a group of seperatist rebels siezed control of the fortifications in the city and refused to surrender. Coincidentally, the British fleet was at hand nearby, and the rebel fortress was bombarded until it surrendered. Lisbon is now considered a British colony, and any attack upon it is an attack upon the empire. Spain has already recognised British rule in Portugal, and we hope the rest of the world will too.
