Capto Iugulum

[TheLastJacobite]

To United Kingdom
From Russia

How is is that Flanders, which is a tiny nation, by sending a force of no more than 20 brigades to Rome in hopes of ending a 5 year old civil war behaving in such a way to warrant the Brazilian threat of blockade and burning? How is it any of Brazil's business what Flanders does? How are we being tyrannical when Brazil is attempting to exert control in the Roman Empire and is threatening war on a neutral nation for simply for disagreeing with it?

And we would point out that we never signed the Treaty of Tuileries so we can do as we please, but the Treaty of Riga expressly forbids Great Britain from any involvement in the Roman Empire

Could you please respond to our question? If our ships arrive in your ports, will they be permitted to take Polish and Prussian refugees? A one word answer will suffice, if you are short on time.

How are we being tyrannical when Brazil is attempting to exert control in the Roman Empire

TO: Russia
FROM: Brazil

By exerting direct control over the Roman Empire, being the leading suspect in the assassination of Admiral Buzatto and for bringing in a neutral third party to justify your imperialism. Russia is the greatest threat to the free world and Brazil will do anything to stop it.

 

[Crezth]

To: Russia
From: The United Kingdom

Don't be coy. Flanders is the chairman of the League. Their influence goes beyond their meager size.

Brazil's actions are a direct response to Russian provocations regarding the assassination of Buzatto. And to know that Russia is being tyrannical one need only look at Poland, Georgia, and Galicia.

Russia may do what she pleases outside of the Treaty of Tuileries, but as you said so yourself to rally Europe against Brazil would be to ask them to defy it - something you seem very keen to do.

We repeat that if Russia brings the fight to Brazil, she may as well also bring the fight to the UK.

To UK, Brazil
From Russia

We now feel the need to point out the obvious. We never declared war on Brazil, nor has a state of war existed between our two nations, to our knowledge. Our war was against the Krakow Pact, and those foreign forces directly aiding them. We care little for wayward Brazilian admirals. How would the death of Admiral Buzatto benefit us in any way? Though, given the recent tone from Brazil, we have no doubt evidence will be "found" implicating us in this matter.

As we have stated previously, if Brazil wishes to send men to die in Europe, we will by no means stop them

To Vinland
From Russia

The ships will be allowed to dock and take as many people as they wish to carry

We thank you for your time.

It is your own Roman allies that are aiding us in uncovering your plots. They have evidence against the Russian government and we do not doubt your involvement. Brazil would never send men to Europe to die. We'd kill you safely from the sea.

CC: Flanders, Russia
From: Spain

Spain would like to point out that Flanders sending a peacekeeping mission to the Roman Empire is in no way a violation of neutrality, and we have no clue how the Brazillians have interpreted it as such. Brazils wanton aggression is unwarranted, especially since they have no interests in the Roman Empire at all anyway, beyond the investigation of the death of Admiral Buzatto, which Russia has agreed to allow anyway.

TO: Spain

Peacekeeping mission to force unification of the Roman splinter states? That is warmongering. Brazil is not opposed to the freedom of any of the factions, but strongly opposes League hands forcing changes in places they have signed to remain out of.

 

[Grandkhan]

To: Brazil
From: Spain

When did Flanders and Russia ever sign an agreement to stay out of the former Roman Empire? And when has either nation stated any intention to force any changes as opposed to generally keeping the peace and trying to work out a peaceful settlement?

 

[Luckymoose]

TO: Spain
FROM: Brazil

Russians intentions are clear and sending a military force will not bring peace when they are allied to one member of the civil war. They are planning to expand the war, win it for the Roman Empire and put to rest all the nationalism on their doorsteps. After all, you cannot let your people see weakness... they might decide being annexed after a millenia of freedom is against their wishes.

 

[Agent 89]

To: Naples, Italian Republic
From: Sardinia

Once again, we bring forth the suggestion of a formal peace treaty to follow the cease fires that we have signed with each of your nations. Provided the independence of Sardinia and Corsica from any "Italian nation" is guaranteed, we have no wish for anything but peace, though we may not agree with your plans in Italy.

To: World
From: Sardinia

Sardinia will not be sending it's athletes to such a backwards village as Rio de Janeiro for the Olympics out of disgust over Brazil's actions in the last year.

TO: Sardinia
FROM: Brazil

You'd best still send the money you owe for your disgusting actions against Brazilian citizens. Oh wait Brazil is always the bad guy for defending independent nations against tyrants! We forgot how horrible we are. We've forgotten how we attacked Sardine ships without provocation then hunted down the rest of the Sardine fleet without a declaration of war! Europe is hypocritical. You are the tyrants for allowing the Russian Empire to manipulate the League into invading Bulgaria, Chaldia and Opsikion. Not much else should be expected from cowards that stab free men in the back.

After hearing Russia's comments, I am wiilling to have peace with you. Are you willing to negotiate?

Yes, we are.

To Britain, Brazil
From the Confederation

Whatever you make of the motives of Russia, or of any of the splinter-states themselves, it is completely absurd, contrived, and ridiculous to think that Flanders could seriously aid Russia's cause significantly even if it wanted to, and even more comic to suppose that Flanders actually would do so without a mandate to that purpose, especially as all League Resolutions are published. We also do not see why you are acting in a way that is clearly designed to do nothing other than unite the Continent against you, as unashamedly abusing a neutral nation is surely calculated to do.

OOC:

Could people in the League please take a look at the group and vote? There are three motions there requiring votes.

TO: Franco-Burgundy
FROM: Brazil

Flanders is a member of the League, through that the Continentals can break their treaties as they are wont to do. Brazil and Britain are defending the peace that we fought hard to gain. French delusions related to Russian imperialism are laughable. You've seen what they do, how they act and the lies they spin. It is clear the League has a master. You are all serfs on the Tsar's land.

 

[spryllino]

To Brazil
From the Confederation

We thought the League was meant to be the Confederation's personal whacking stick? The fact remains, however, that if there is an ideal way likely to cause the League to line up against you, it has to be wilfully abusing a neutral member whose sovereignty several of us have vowed to protect and whom we have elected as our Chair. If you must attack Russia's actions, do so; however, bringing Flanders into it must miss the point of the exercise even from your own perspective.

To: Brazil
From: Spain

You may want to note that as per the League Charter, nations are not obligated to send forces anywhere in any peace keeping mission. This was an inclusion to specifically allow nations to participate without invalidating the recent treaties of Tuilleries and Madrid. The League is not a mechanism for treaty breaking in any way, unless a nation is already want to do so.
