To war! Plus Ultra! +10% ultranationalist influence, Gain 2 armies, gain core on Maghreb, Spain goes to war with Great Britain, cultural influence set to 0%
Invade Maghreb from Galicia and attack the western port of Maghreb. Launch the main attack force at the eastern two ports from southern spain. Use all IP's to supply armies and navy.
Alejandro Garcia has sent a message to the government of Britain regretting to inform them that the people of spain have cried out for blood. The government has followed suit. The territory of the Maghreb will be siezed as part of the final act of La Reconquista. He expresses hope that relations in the future will not be affected by this current tension and one day western Europe will be at peace.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Regarding the picking of a military adviser
The King has made up his mind, the first foreign general to be hired will be The Duke of Wellington. The King was astonished to hear that someone of such stature decided to sign up for such a job, and gleefully accepted him as an adviser for the new army. And, since the King could not pass up such a chance, he is willing to let the Duke take six soldiers of his choice back to Britain to form a commando unit.
As for the second general adviser, his majesty decided to go with General Hekmatyar II of Afghanistan. Since the Duke filled out the role of an adviser of regular, European tactics and strategies, the King decided to get a general experienced in asymmetric warfare. His tactical knowledge will help enormously prepare our new recruits, and recruits further down the line in training not only for standard invasion/defense, but also keeping down possible rebellions within the nation. As seen with the great riot in the previous years, keeping down rebellions is a must for the King.
These men will be hired this turn (1835), and their employment will end in 1843 (two turns from now).
Congratulations Britain and Afghanistan, once trade begins, you will get preferential treatment. You will see what that means sometime in the near future.

People of Britain,
I am your Prime Minister, Vincent De Nil newly elected just a year ago. Already, I have started to reclaim our old empire, started industrialization once again, and instituted Military Reforms. But this is not enough! The traitors to our south have declared war on us! Yes Spain! Their ships even now bear down on our colony in Mahgreb, our brave native allies there preparing to resist them. Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, our faithful allies! Yet, saddened as I am to say it, they are no match for these vile Spaniards. We have no modern weapons there. Muskets, some old rifles, cannons, gunboats, and trading ships hastily converted to warships. Make no mistake, we shall fight Valiantly! We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight in the desert, we shall fight in the mountains, we shall fight in the cities, in the streets, in the houses! We shall shoot them between the eyes, cut off their balls, put 'em in soup, and send 'em back to their mother country! We shall bloody them, we shall kill them, we shall DEFEAT THEM!
Do they not realize we are bloody brits? they dare to face our limey wrath? Gather the highlanders! Fetch the irish! Find those damned welshman! Rouse the Englishman! It is time to fight! The Spanish Armada is alive once more, their army still breathing, and they plan to come here, to your homes! To rape your daughters and wives, to kill your borthers, to ensalve your sons, and to reach out and grab your heart, twist it, then pull it out! They wish to break our spirit! Some say what I speak of is madness. Well I say this: THIS IS NOT MADNESS. THIS IS DAMNED GREAT BRITAIN! GREAT Britain! We are GREAT! Now lets go those these bastardous Spaniards and Roman mobsters who really is in charge here. Lets go show them whose side God is on, lets go show them what God's wrath really looks like, lets go show them we arent someone to screw with! Onward! Onward to war! Onward to Glory! Onward to an EMPIRE!

The Duke is leaving right away. he seems slightly upset that he is missing possibly the greatest European war of the century after the Napoleonic Wars, but agrees that this is a great opportunity. perhaps he will even learn something from the great Msulim General that will be joining him there, and there is also the Commando unit to think of. Quoted from the duke: "Let's leave this war to the kids Vincent. Its time for me to go teach. My pupil should be able to fill my place nicely..."
And the Overall Commander of the Iberian Theater of war has just been announced: Laurence Van Geyte! He is the nephew of the duke, 3/4 German, and possibly the greatest Mind of Warfare ever to be born.
Prime Minister Vincent De Nil thanks China for accepting the Duke of Wellington for the post. he hopes that trade shall open up soon, as our merchants are overstocked with goods due to the lack of trade partners compared to what our country once had.

(Ah but this isnt historic 1835 is it? Expect some Special british Surprises to come!)
Yes he is well schooled in the ways of Napoleon. But he has also developed some tactics that are very adverse to Napoleon, which although they incorporate the major elements of napoleon's tactics, have alot of minor changes here and there to respond to the fact that everyone uses traditional Napoleon tactics right now. He also hopes to learn much from the afghanistan General when in china, and perhaps some ways of warfare from the eastern countries.
His new tactics are called Limey Warfare.
(OOC: Why, oh why, am I friends with France? I cant use any French military jokes!

GM Request:
If you've changed your orders, please say so and also edit your old posts to remove your old orders please, thanks.

*realises now he has to calculate all the battles* Hmm. Military victories can trigger events that gives you bonuses and such. However, for things like military advisor trade, the main effect this has on the game is a tendency for the countries involved to get more military-related events.

Although the Mughals will officially remain neutral, a lot of the populace is secretly feeling relieved that the English are too busy to re-build their colonial empire.

Ah, but we have no intentions on infringing on the land of other sovereign nations to rebuild our Colonial Empire. Of course, if you attack us or our allies, we wont accept peace until either us or our allies control your entire country and annex you. Otherwise, we are very much peaceful in our aims. Only if attacked, is our wrath invoked. So its simple: Dont attack.

"Do you really want to live under the dictatorship of these pagans. When your Child asks you, daddy is it true that you beat the Pagans at Ankara, you can say no I was in the reserves or at home. But if anyone of you doesn't feel like going, its fine, well I do, I'll take this fort alone and Destiny will be waiting! Bullets will bounce of me, cannonballs will swirl with FEAR! Not one of you needs to take this city, but I absoulutly insist you come with me and watch me take it! WOLFTAIL! IF I GO FORWARD FOLLOW ME, IF I RETREAT SHOOT ME AND IF I DIE AVENGE ME! AVENGE ME! CHARGE MEN ON YOUR FEET, YOU WILL TRUST ME AND YOU WILL RUN!"

Battle of Ankara - Plans
Spoiler :
The Strategy: Cavalry will play a critical role in this battle, it will be the spearhead, the cavalry will attack the enemy forces directly, it will coordinate its attack with the red line. In the meantime the infantry will hide in a small trench made by a small stream, while the artillery will setup positions on the hill. The cavalry will engage the enemy forces with their muskets, but not in hand to hand combat, this will piss the enemy forces off and they will charge the cavalry, the cavalry will immediatly retreat following the blue line, the enemy forces will pursue them because Husein is leading the attack with a small number of troops and they will try to capture them. When the enemy forces get to the last lime dot, the artillery will open fire on them, they will deliberately shoot from only two cannon, the enemy will continue with the attack. At that moment all cannon are to stop shooting, the infantry jump out from their trenches and shoot at them, and simultaneously the cannon that didn't fire will shoot at them, the cannon will stop shooting then but the cavalry will turn around encircle the enemy forces, and the infantry will charge
