The Confederation explicitly recognises the Republican government as the sole legitimate government of Spain.
We furthermore declare our intention to support our longstanding ally, Spain, in the suppression of the unjustified and illegal military coup that has usurped control of a large portion of Spain and its colonies, in cooperation with Occitania, by means of sending a significant force from both countries comprised of ground forces and aircraft squadrons.
We would also like to announce the cession of Spanish Aquitaine from Spain to Occitania.
On behalf of the Rhine-Rhone Pact, we also invite Spain, Sardinia, and, subject to Sardinia's acceptance, Corsica, to join our alliance. If Sardinia and Corsica wish to accept later rather than now, the invitation will remain open for the present.
We would like to add that we have no interest in the sort of ridiculous democratic crusading that Brazil seems to engage in: we stand for constitutionalism and the rule of law, and military rule is the most abhorrent of all governments to us. This intervention is a point of conscience for us, and we do not, as widely supposed, as you may now see, have any sympathy with this ridiculous notion that a military coup in a nation allied to us does not warrant our full-blooded intervention. We are their ally and their neighbour; this is nothing short of our duty. Saying this conflict is one for the Spanish to sort out is calculated to bring about the slowest possible conclusion, and merely means that Spain's armies will both be swelled by the money and materiel provided by the allies of each side. What could be more selfish or more ruinous? As long as this is held to be right and proper, true, only Spanish soldiers will die, but they will die in triple the numbers on each side, and for many times as many years.
We also would like to announce that the Spain does not intend to contest Italy's ownership of Tripolitania, and would like to assure Italy that we have no intention of infringing their coastal controls. No action will be undertaken by the Rhine-Rhone pact other than those actions directly necessary to reassert rightful Spanish control over rightfully Spanish territories, but if Germany sees fit to declare war on an alliance whose military resources now far outstrip their own, for the sake of a disillusioned and tyrannical dictator, which we highly doubt, then our forces are already on high alert to receive them.
We would also like to ask the Spanish Republicans to confirm all the above details.
Yup.
