Italy announces her undying support for the German demands of arms-limitation repealment. Blood alone is the fuel and necessary lubricant for the wheels of history, and the Germans as a righteous people deserve their military.
Germany is meant to force down the repressive, plutocratic regimes of the West and we call on any nation similar in this desire to aid them as well. End the capitalist-communist coalition to crush the nobility that is Fascism and war! We must unite in order to face these deadly foes and wrought the retribution that is demanded by the heirs of Rome!
Up to arms, brave Germans! We will fight your oppressors!
Signed,
Il Duce Roberto Berluciane
To: Prime Minister Winston Churchill
I come to you to cordially reassure you that Italy has no direct intentions against the will of Great Britain. As allies in the last war, and as friends in the modern world, we say that only should you find your allies among the ranks of the United States will we become enemies.
We wish you the best in your quest to reconstruct the British empire so torn after depression and war. May you find your comforts in your people.
Signed,
Il Duce Roberto Berluciane
To: President Charles de Gaulle
Italy henceforth demands the surrender of Tunisia by the French forces. Long habitualized by the members of the glorious Italian state, we recognize no other nation's "sovreignty" over this formerly-Roman territory. The decadent French have no place in this land and must allow the rightful heirs to the Roman empire their land.
Give us Tunisia or face the front of the mighty legions that are Italians.
Signed,
Il Duce Roberto Berluciane
To: Kemal Ataturk
As a fellow Mediterranean power we do not seek confrontation with the Turkish Republic. Only if your nations should "fall in line" with the will of the imperialistic Americans should you consider Italy an enemy; and that, my friend, is something no nation wants.
Blood does not need to be spilt in Turkey. I'd like to keep it that way. What about you?
Signed,
Il Duce Roberto Berluciane
To: Lettow von-Vorbec
We would like to assure you that so long as your nation does not make any attempts at Austria or find friends among the Americans, you will always find home just South of the Alps.
We look forward to cooperation with the German state and ask that a friendship pact be signed. As one warlike people to another, I say, the world is our apple.
Signed,
Il Duce Roberto Berluciane
To: Marshal Joseph Stalin
We are appalled by your barbaric people and form of government and will not see you well; Italy henceforth does not recognize the sovreignty of the Soviet Union and will therefore sign nothing with the corrupt "communist" government.
Signed,
Il Duce Roberto Berluciane

Italy today celebrated the development of a great Mediterranean fleet with the launching of two great battleships from the Vittorio Veneto class of ships. The ships, named Righello and Vittorio are expected to modernize naval warfare to a new height, and assure Italy's domination of the Mediterranean sea.
The major naval base, situated at Taranto, was recently industrialized by the great Duce, Roberto Berluciane. This was expected to open "a new era" for Southern Italy, modernizing it and removing the few agrarian aspects of the Italian economy.
The Italian military, now one of the finest in the world, may do battle very soon according to some high government officials such as King Vittorio Emmanuelle, who preached of "great retribution" against the nations that had so disgraced the rightful heirs to Rome in the past.
Il Duce Roberto Berluciane is scheduled for a press conference in April which will give the full details of Italian plans for the future.
