NES2 VI - Last Semblance of Order.

[North King]

You know, if you want to keep your rebellion secret, don't even tell people you have a rebellion. None of this "I have a rebellion, but I'm not telling you where." That's just irritating.

 

[tommy_toon]

But it's more fun for me, so Plus, I don't like sending stories through pm, even if they'll be better because I don't have to keep names and locations and everything so secretive.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

i was going to quit cus i was too lazy to do orders lol

Apparently Stormy's secret weapon hit a few too many.

@silver- Hmm, this will be interesting.

@tommy- As a Ottoman NESer, I know that 1/3 of all rebellions will happen in my lands.

Fortunately, I'm no longer in Europe, so that level is lowered.

Ahh, it's good to be finished school. I'll try to get in a story, after I'm done stats in my NES.

@Insane Panda I have done what I promised. I expect you to keep your side of the bargain now...

We shall give you what you rightfully deserve this turn.

Edit: Nevermind.

AUX ARMES, CITOYENS!

A Statement urging for the Defense of Civilization
Issued June 20th, 1751 Anno Domini

Citizens! France, after showing her benevolence towards the people of Germany, has been betrayed. The Germans, with their barbaric leaders which seem to have no disregard for the European peoples and our glorious civilization, have sought to attack us, and now their armies and made slight advances upon our territory.

However, though they have advanced, does not mean that we shall be defeated. France, still the greatest nation in all the world, can weather this new challange. Yet in order to do so, the support of you, the common man, the foundation upon which our great nation lies, must work actively to defeat these aggressors.

I, as your leader and at the same time, as your servant, call upon you to fufill your duty as a Frenchman, and as a European, and I ask you to join the fight against barbarity, to join the fight against those who would seek to tear down all we have created. It is not only I, it is all of the civilized world that beckons you. We stand at a crossroads, at the deciding moment in the history of our civilization. Either we stand up to these aggressors, and defeat them, or we, as the Romans and the Greeks of the past, bow to these foriegn tyrants, and give up the fruits of our liberty for the shackles of their oppression, so that we might have a chance at surviving.

But far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in that grey twilight that knows no success, nor hardship. Shall we, the founders of the greatest empire the world has ever known, subject ourselves to such a twilight? Shall we allow our children to be enslaved at the expense of our own comfort and cowardness? No! We shall continue the fight, and though we have faced a setback in this most wretched of betrayals, we shall eventually triumph. The Germans, by invading our home, and by invading the protector of all of Europe, have made a grave mistake, a mistake that they shall pay for with their lives and their sovereignty. Germany, due to her betrayal of the free peoples of Europe, has doomed herself to become a mere footnote in our glorious history.

And the same shall be said of Russia!

Believe me, I speak to you with full knowledge of the facts and tell you that nothing is lost for our Kingdom. We, inevitably, shall be brought to that wonderful day of victory. For France is not alone! We are not alone! We have our vast Empire and its boundless industry. We have had, on every step towards this day, and indeed on this day, a vast coalition behind us. A coalition of the noble and of the free. And we shall only continue to have these things, things which shall allow us in the end to overcome our enemies, enemies which rely on terror to raise their forces, forces which shall be swept away by our grognards, rushing to the front to save their dear liberty.

This war is not limited to the unfortunate territory of our country. This war is not finished by the battle of France or the battle of Germany. This war is a world-wide war. All the mistakes, all the delays, all the suffering, do not prevent there to be, in the world, all the necessary means to one day crush our enemies. Vanquished though we were yesterday by a vile betrayal, we will be able, tomorrow, to overcome in the future by our superior determination. This conflict has done nothing to damage our resolve. If anything, it only grows stronger!

The destiny of the world is here. I, your Sovereign King, invite every able-bodied man who wishes or is capable, to put themselves on the front line of our war, and to put themselves at the forefronts of the gates of civilization, to defend their homes, their families, and their glorious motherland against these barbarians. This is a call to arms, a call for every father, mother, or child of our nation to help civilization in some way, and to help us destroy the enemies which crowd at the gates.

Whatever happens, the flame of our great Kingdom must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished. Together, we shall continue the fight!

To arms, citizens!

- His Royal Highness, Julien-François I, King of the French

DEATH TO THE FOREIGN DEVIL THAT URSUPS THE THRONE OF CHINA!

To: World
From: The Hanhua Emperor

Pay no heed to the lunatic who will shortly be relieved of the control of the south of China. He clearly does not realize that the Hanhua Emperor can trace his lineage to not one, not two, but three esteemed Chinese dynasties: the Han, the Tang and the Song. The Republicans can trace their roots only to foreign agitation.

 

[Sheep]

To the False Emperor of China
From the Imperial Republic of China

You will fail in your quest to keep the people of China in the dark about your true lineage. Everyone knows you are nothing but a Mongolian-Manchu mongrel seeking to take what is not rightfully yours.

THE BATTLE FOR EUROPE

~~~

In the Summer of 1751, Julien-François visits the front, to encourage the troops and oversee the war operations. Here, he delivers a rousing speech to the men, encouraging them to fight on for the glory of France and of Europe.

~~~​

A Speech to the Saviors of France; her Soldiers
Issued July 3rd, 1751, Anno Domini

The supreme battle begins!

After so many conflicts, so much rage and pain, now at last comes the decisive clash, the clash so long hoped for. Of course, it is the battle of France and her Kingdom and it is our battle! It is, most definately, all of Europe's battle.

Massive attacking forces, for us the forces of rescue, have begun to pour from throughout our vast Empire, and to pour from within our vast, proud nation. Here, at this last bastion of Western civilization, the tide of German oppression has been halted. Now it is the starting-point of an offensive for freedom. France, though betrayed by the barbarians, but never reduced or defeated, is on her feet to win this war.

For the children of France, wherever they may be, their simple, sacred duty is to fight with all the means at their disposal. Our task is to destroy the enemy, the enemy that crushes and defiles our native soil, a detested and dishonoured enemy.

That enemy will do his utmost to escape his fate. He will ravage our native land as long as he possibly can. Yet for some time now he has been little more than a wild beast being driven back from his prey. From Sevestapol to our dear home, from the banks of the Nile to Rome and the balkans, he shall soon catch the habit of defeat.

France will fight this battle with fury. She will fight it in good order. So each and every one of our victories has been won for fifteen hundred years. So will this victory be won.

In good order ! For our army, and navy, there is no problem. Never have they been in better spirit, better prepared, better disciplined, or more numerous. Already, in numerous conflicts, has the world witnessed their strength and glory. Soon it will be the turn of their native soil.
For our kingdom which struggles against an aggressor armed to the teeth, good order in the battle requires that two conditions be met.

The first is that the instructions given by me, your King, and by the French leaders whom it has designated for the task must be followed exactly.

The second, and absolute condition is that all those who are capable of action, whether by force of arms, by means of destruction, or of intelligence, or of refusal to submit to this enemy, should not let themselves succumb to these defilers of Europe. Whatever the difficulties, anything is better that to be put out of action without having had a chance to fight. Whatever can be done, especially by you, are soldiers, to ensure our victory, must be done.

The battle of France has begun. Throughout the nation, the Empire and the armed forces there is now only one determination, only one hope shared by all. Behind the cloud, so heavy with our blood and tears, behold ! - the sun of our greatness is shining forth once again !

- His Royal Highness, Julien-François I, King of the French

The recent actions of some players may have left IP with some trust issues

anyone else notice the King of France looks very young for his age. I mean how old is this guy?

If you don't know how old he is, how can you judge if he looks young for his age?

This may come as a shock, but paintings often show somewhat 'idealized' versions of the person they are portraying . Anyway JF is somewhere in his mid forties if I remember correctly.

 

[Wubba360]

hey I am just saying this guy looks not a day older over 10 years. It is a compliment.

 

[Insane_Panda]

there are older pictures to be used next update. I am using Eugene de Beauharnais as my face of JF.

 

[Grandmaster]

"The Great Spirit has come to me in a dream. He has said to me 'Listen, Tecumtha, to the instruction which will guide your people to freedom.' The Great Spirit spoke to me, from high in the clouds, with a voice like a thousand thunders; and the light of a thousand suns shined from his face through the clouds. The Great Spirit spoke to me thus:

Go forth, Tecumtha, and gather together the men of all ancient nations, and assemble them under arms. Raise an Army of All Nations, and rise. Rise against the oppression of the White Devil who has stolen your land and defiled the graves of your fathers. Rise against Him, with his weapons and your own: neglect not the tomahawk, which is the weapon of your nation, or the red stick of war, which will be the symbol of My People; but speak also with the thunder of the White Devil's arms, as I speak now with the thunder of the world. Take the Army of My People into the fields of your fathers, and there wage war against the White Devil. Lay waste to the crops which were sown by His greed; set fire to the houses and villages in which reside His evil spirit. Kill the White Devil, drive him from the lands of your fathers, and into the Great Water from which he came. Rest not until your task is complete, for I have deemed it holy, and by it you shall redeem your nation and restore My People to freedom and holiness.​

Thus spoke the Great Spirit to me. His words are clear as the waters of the Cherokee River. It is the holy mission of this Army of All Nations to drive from this Continent the White Devil who has broken the sacred soil of our fathers and made slaves of the free and proud nations. We must rise, rise against the tyrranies of the White Devil, lay His fields and villages to waste, and drive His blood into the Great Water, from whence it can never return. By this we will redeem all the ancient nations; by this, we will again be free.

So to arms, Men of the ancient Nations! The Great Spirit demands our strength for the War of Redemption against the White Devil. Let us speak with thunder, and ever have the blood of the White Devil on our blades. We wage war for the freedom of the People of the Great Spirit."

-Tecumtha, Great Prophet and War-Chief of the Red Stick Confederation,
addressing the Army of All Nations, before the First Campaign of Redemption, 1751​
