We don't want a new war in Europe. I suggest that you will stay neutral, if war will have to occur with Rome-Gaul. We hope that nothing occurs to break the good relationships between our countries.

On the contrary, I support the move against Rome-Gaul. Russia supports free countries, as shown by us giving Scandinavia independence.
That is also why I impose restrictions in wars to make sure that a country isn't destroyed, as I believe that every nation has a right to exist.
That includes India. I add my voice and my army to those demanding that Rome-Gaul leave India immediately.
If they have not left in one year, Russia will join those forcibly ejecting them from India. Our Eastern Military District has been training with China for some time, so the 50,000 men would be willing to go into battle alongside the Chinese troops, along with another 50,000 men I have just sent to the area. The new troops will be confident in China's leadership due to the example of the 50,000 already there.
I place the 100,000 men under the command of China if war should break out, and ask them to use them wisely to help eject the Rome-Gaul occupiers.
With Scandinavia gone, I reorganise my army:
RUSSIAN MILITARY TABLE OF ORGANISATION [TOP SECRET]
NAVAL STRENGTH
Pacific Fleet: 8 ships BASED AT: Vladivostok
Atlantic Fleet: 9 ships BASED AT: Archangel
Black Sea Fleet: 5 ships BASED AT: Odessa
Baltic Sea Fleet: 3 ships BASED AT: Riga
ARMY STRENGTH
Western Military Zone: 900,000 men BASED AT: Minsk
Eastern Military Zone: 100,000 men BASED AT: Yakutsk
The Eastern Military Zone is mostly the wilderness of Siberia, which is easy to defend due to the fact that we can trade land for striking power - attacking the enemy's flank as he advances. Also, I am confident that China would never attack me, so I do not need assign too many forces there.
The Western Military Zone, while being close to the European powers who are now peaceful, must remain strong as it defends the heart and soul of Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg and many other major cities.
250,000 troops in the event of war will depart on the Atlantic Fleet to do a D-Day-style landing in Normandy, and make it a two front war for Rome-Gaul.
An extra 150,000 troops would then depart further south, and land in Sicily and begin the advance north, opening up a third front for Rome-Gaul.
Hopefully, the amount of fronts causing Rome-Gaul to split their force will lead to their downfall, and allow us to win victory and force them to admit defeat. Then the 400,000 Russian troops would stay long enough to ensure the Germans and other nations left Rome-Gaul territory after a peace treay has been signed, and then return home.
AND TO BRITAIN AND HER ALLIES
We would like to have you assurances you will not aid Rome-Gaul, and we will in turn sign MPPs with all of you.
Nicholas, Tsar of Russia
