OOC: Erez, I wasn't in whatever old NES this game is based on. I have no idea about the history between France and China. All of that is lost on me. If you'd like to explain it to me briefly OOC, I'd be very much obliged. It'd make your diplomacy more effective too, as I'd know what you were talking about.

To China:
Would you be happier if we called them Volunteer Army Groups North and South, and attacked without a declaration of war? We have no intention of invading Russia Proper. We are fighting in Germany to liberate the Germans, in Eastern Europe to liberate the Polish, Slavic, Serbian, and Greek peoples, and in Scandinavia to defend the sovereignty of Vikingland. The only French troops that will ever set foot on the soil of Russia Proper are the ones attacking St. Petersburg, and that is only because we need to sever the Russian supply lines to Scandinavia if Vikingland is to have any chance of survival. And besides, St. Petersburg is geographically a part of Karelia, not Russia Proper. Unlike the Russians, who enforce their will by making Nostrodomists disappear in the night, we will not commit acts of genocide or other atrocities against the Russian and pro-Russian peoples in any city we capture. We will treat them with the respect and freedom they deserve, so long as they do not put up violent resistance against us. We do not wish to make war against your nation (OOC: again?) but we will if we must. The GDI cannot protect Vikingland. France will to the last man.
To Vikingland:
We thank you, our allies, for your support. We know you are in a tight spot fighting the Russians. However, if the Chinese declare war on us, can we depend upon at the very least a symbolic declaration of war against China? It would seem like hypocrisy for the great Viking nation to fight alongside the French people as brothers in the war with Russia, but to abandon us to the Chinese.
To GDI:
Do you still exist? Or did the Russian bomb in Sicily finish you off?
