Revolutionary Armies in Action
 
With the Foundation of the Consular Regime, France hereby announces that slavery is abolished.

France declares all slaves to be freemen, under the basis that all men are created equal. France hopes that other nations will follow suit, as slavery is one of the horrors of western civilization.

It is France's belief that all men are created equal, and that there must be no differences between the races of the world.

To France
From Germany

Well. That was unexpected. We offer you an alliance, in the name of peace in Europe.
 
Zhong Guo Times

It has come to our attention that the Emperor of Ming China, Emperor Shen Zong Zhu Yiju after making his speech was nearly struck by lighting as he rode in his carriage. When he was warned of the Gods’s Displeasure, he was heard “So be it! I am Emperor!” And here, one-half year later, the Emperor is dead! It was a late Autumn Night when the Thunderstorm started and struck the Emperor’s Bed Chamber and set alight to the Room. The Empress was miraculously unharmed, but the Emperor was unable to wake up. When his courtiers attempted to lift him out of bed, they failed completely as he seemed to be as heavy as rocks as by divine will, and the Gods’s Will be done. The Emperor is acknowledged dead and his body has been given a royal Funeral in an unknown area. The Crown Prince Peng Shi has been crowned Emperor Guang Ti in a splendid coronation. His coronation speech will be edited in very soon…​
 
From Russia
To France:
We welcome the new French Government and ask for an allaince
 
OOC: isn't portugal a Permanent NPC by decree of the Mod Amon?

NVM, the Mod has issued another decree.
 
I declare that Conehead can take portugal.
 
“My Countrymen, the time of lying low and bowing to the Europeans are over. Why should they dictate Chinese Policy? I tell you this however while the Island of the Southeast is very tempting, I will honor my Father’s Word so that he may enter Heaven with no stain upon his honor. Yes, I know many of you here do not like my Father, but for all his faults, he has done China Great Things, he defended China from the Manchurians and Burmese. He saved china from a possible English and Spanish Invasion. I ask you this, what is so good about taking what others have made? Yes, you tell me that’s easier, but is that not what the Mongols of Old did? And were they not Barbarians? Are We, the Chinese People Barbarians? NO! That is why, I am authorizing an expedition to the west to expand China’s borders overseas, to the west, to the land found by the explorer whoms name currently avoids me. There, to the land of the Peach Blossom Stream we will find fertile valleys excellent for farming, mining, and setting up new towns. Compare to that land, what are those Southeastern islands? Endless vasts of Jungle with hostile natives which cannot be assimilated into the Greater Chinese Culture! Spending money there will be a complete waste! And I tell u this my people, that with the untimely death of my Father, a new era is dawning on China, an era of peace, and equality for all no matter their race. Good Day.”

OOC: was told not to edit post because so many posts after it. so dun ban me moderators for spamming.
 
The Formation of the Grand Armee

The French Armies, after the revolution, were moderately trained, but, it was not good enough for Consul Richelieu. Richelieu could see the coming storm, and could see that the monarchs of europe would begin marching armies across the rhine and into france, or over the alps and into france, desperate to keep their power legitimate. They feared this upstart republic, and Richelieu made full use of that fact.

Quickly regiments and battalians were merged together to form corps, for greater flexibility and manueverability in battle.

Corps would be led by Marshalls, generals of the French army, andthey would be trained and drilled for fast movement across large spaces of land and to bring the enemy into desicive battles, and to utterly crush them.

Richelieu standardized weaponry and uniforms, to bring a sense of cohesian and union to the French armed forces. He also geared France's Industry towards equipping its large armies . Soldiers were trained in amazingly short amounts of time, yet came out as highly trained as any of their British counterparts. Soldiers trained on the march, and were provided weaponry and uniforms while moving to the front.

Weapons and uniforms travelled in mobile supply trains that followed corps towards the fields of battle.

Cavalry and Infantry were used in large and mobile corps in grandiose operations on a scale never seen before.

Armies were not used to occupy territory, rather they were used to force the enemy into alliegance with France, and to gain strong surrender terms in favor of the republic.

Rapid marches of large masses of men were used across the French countryside, quickly overwhelming enemies. Warfare on this scale has not been seen since the days of the Roman Empire.

Richelieu adopted a new doctrine of warfare: The Doctrine of Preemptive Strike.

To France
From Germany

Errm...I wasn't aware we feared you. In fact, several European monarchs are asking for alliances. So, who can march across the Rhine without fighting me first? You are safe, my friends, until you estrange Russia and Germany. Then you die.
 
OOC: I know. Just thought I'd whinge.
 
To: China and Japan
From:Portugal
Would you open a port to us for trade?

To:British
From:Portugal
We offer to sell you slaves to use in the Americas.
 
Polish Commonwealth

The Polish Commonwealth was prospering, and its armies were relatively large. However, there was still much room for improvement. Infrastructure and Industry, among other things, were crap compared to some of the other countries'. The King saw this from his throne in Warsaw, and made his advisors try to devise new plans to improve. After deliberating, the council and the King decided to start a new national wonder - the Trans-Polish Economic Network.

(NOTE: I PROMISE TO ADD MORE LATER. JUST ADDED BASIC STUFF RIGHT NOW)
 
OOC: CHEAP! Why'd you change your post?
 
Whoa there, what's all this crusading business about?
 
Ye never saw nothing.
