ANNOUNCER: Thank you for listening to Radio Istanbul. For those of you that just joined us we will be carrying the Presidential address to Parliament and the nation within a few minutes. President Karga plans to speak about the recent war in the Balkans and Iran along with future plans for the country. I see the President has now entered the Parliament and is walking toward the podium flanked by his security detail. You can hear the applause as the members of parliament greet the President and a few shake hands with him. He appears relaxed and smiling, you can not read what he is saying to the members but it appears friendly. He now has stepped up to the podium and has taken some note cards from his jacket and is preparing to speak.
KARGA: Thank you, thank you all, please be seated. Members of Parliament, citizens of Turkey and the world I greet you. Today is a proud day for Turkish state and for Turks everywhere. We have accomplished great things in our plans of National Renewal, we have reclaimed our place amongst the Great Powers of the World!
APPLAUSE
KARGA: Many of us remember our country only fifteen years ago. We faced enemies on every front. Our territory was reduced to Asia and some scraps of Europe. We were called the sick man of Europe and vultures waiting for us to die so they can pick our bones. However, WE DID NOT DIE!
APPLAUSE
WE DID NOT DIE! For in our struggle against Separatism and Imperialism we rediscovered our strength! We reclaimed our warrior past, that we are Turks, leaders of an empire that stretched from Austria to India to Egypt to Iran. Since our rediscovery we defeated those forces who seek to tear us apart. We provided jobs and security to the men and women of our country and opportunities for our youth. We have reclaimed our leadership over the Balkans and taught those who attack us a harsh lesson!
APPLAUSE
Recently, we have signed an agreement with the Russian Empire that will see our victorious Army withdraw from Iran. After several years of war our nation is at peace. However, we must be always vigilant and we must continue our struggle. It takes more than mighty armies or navies to defend a nation; it takes an economy and a people to support our soldiers, sailors and airmen. That is why this next year this government will focus on economic development with the goal of doubling our economy within ten years time. This will projects to expand railroads and paved roads, power generation and distribution, petrochemical production and refining, improving our agricultural system and irrigation of crops. All of these will require hard working men and will provide good paying jobs for them. Hiring priority will be given to military veterans in recognition of their service.
We will continue to sponsor scientific research and development since we cannot rely on numbers or will alone to defeat our enemies. The ideas and prototypes our scientists and schools build today will be invaluable for our economy and the battlefield tomorrow. We will seek trading partners on land and sea to provide those goods and services we cannot produce. We also will begin cultural exchange programs with our neighbors to show our glorious heritage in the arts and culture.
APPAULSE
However, all these ideas mean nothing without the support of you the people. I call upon you, man or woman, young or old, soldier or civilian to give your total support to this program. This requires total dedication and sacrifice and vigilance against our enemies. Together we can accomplish many things.
I am a Turk, honest and hardworking.
My principle is to protect the younger, to respect the elder,
to love my homeland and my nation more than myself.
My ideal is to rise, to progress.
My existence shall be dedicated to the Turkish existence.

While we don't really agree to you politic against Brazil, we both haven similar problem.
The Socialists in Europe are threating the freedom and rights of those opposing them.
We need to fight Spain, France and Germany together, esspecially after the democratic goverment of bavaria was overthrown and Austria occupied.
Italy currently fights mostly alone, only a few brave soldiers from Morroco fight with us and soon we fear that the Socialists will overwhelm our brave troops.
That why we offer an political and military alliance to both the USA and Portugal, to protect each other against the Communist menace.

You do not fool us--we have done nothing to threaten the nation of Italy. We are simple nascent democracy, seeking to undo the harm that unjust monarchs and fascists have done against our nation. We have sent no aid towards your stupid, pointless war, and have always endeavored to stay out of your self-wrought destruction. If Italy determines that it is necessary to portray Spain as being hostile to its regime, then the Republic of Spain have no choice but to reciprocate.
Spainn mobilizes to 80%. We will not take this insult lying down.

This war was declared by the Trieste Pact on Germany and not the other way around. Our operations last year pursued the sole goal of forcing the aggressor to realize they had picked the wrong target for international bullying. Now that Italy has learned its lesson, we have no desire to sacrifice German and French lives in needless offensives. Be assured, the existence of your state is not going to be threatened by us, as long as you value Italian lives in the same manner and cease all offensive operations against French overseas territories and against the defensive perimeter Germany and France have established around the Italian peninsula. Our withdrawal is non-negotiable at the moment, as you were the aggressor in this war, and we cannot bring ourselves to trust your intentions until we see that you are not invested in offensive operations against Germany and France. A punishment for any attempt on your part to change the current front line through military offensives or covert operations would be severe.
We would also want to bring to your attention that your attempt to get the United States of America involved in this conflict is irresponsible, as it threatens to turn a local conflict into an intercontinental war. At the same time, it also openly challenges the United Kingdom of Great Britain, by inviting its historical enemy into the waters that Great Britain for centuries has been considering to be theirs. If Italy were to learn to respect British, French, and German interests in continental Europe, it would not have to call across the ocean for help.

Your perception of the situation is interesting, blaming those who stood against unlawfull occupation and annexation. Let us remind you, that it wasn't us who invaded Austria and Serbia, that it wasn't us who occupied Bavaria and dissolved its goverment.
That it wasn't us who pacted with Russia, to destroy both Hungary and Romania and that the French were the once attacking us.
It is your army that occupies whole countries, not ours.
The Trieste Pact stood up for what was good and right, while you cause chaos throughout the world.
The United States are already involved, I don't know how the 100 000 soldiers in Portugal can be seen otherwise, so please spare us any lessons about diplomacy.
Italy might once considerd those "socialist democracies" as possible friends, but until now you have all proven that you want nothing but chaos.
Italy will fight for freedom until you filthy socialists are gone.
OCC: The funny things is, I'm actually an Social-Democrat ^^

The reason why our troops right now are deployed in the Italian territory is that your troops fought a pathetic campaign upon declaring a war on us. It was not our aggression, but your complete military incompetence and geopolitical recklessness that led to these results.
As for you view on American involvement, we are glad that you so openly stated your true intention to entangle America in the war that you started. We are sure that all interested parties will find your declaration of intentions quite informative.

It seems that the bells of war are calling for you, America. Will you give up on the fight in Europe to combat some socialists in the Amazonian jungle, or will you take up your...righteous duty, you might say, to combat the true enemies of democracy: that is, Germany and France?

The Spanish Republic, quite possibly the sole remaining social democratic nation in Europe, have done none of the things you have described. We have endeavored for peace and neutrality, which you have now made extremely difficult. It is now clear the the Republic that your monarch has gone senile, and that the GFA was just not to back down to your threats in response to occupation of Austria.
We may have once agreed that GFA's occupation of Austria was unjust, but that is no more.
Spain formally denounces Italy and the Trieste Pact for its actions.
The United States presence in Portugal has four purposes: 1. ensuring an orderly prosecution of the blockade against Brazil, 2. protecting United States Navy assets engaged in the same, 3. protecting Portugal pursuant to the alliance agreement existing between the parties, 4. protection and escort of United States, allied and eligible neutral* shipping operating in international water and the Straits of Gibraltar (the latter being of particular note to Spain given its declaration respecting Italian flagged vessels).
* British, Italian, Spanish, Portugal, the Low Countries, Latin American states (excluding Brazil), and Scandinavian merchant marines being covered.
