Something goes here...
The MA got to name the last operation so I'm getting in first and naming this operation Squirooi.
The letter went out from the Foreign Affairs office in Fanatiku to the Japanatican ambassador in the great city of Salamanca.
Meanwhile, Deputy Adviser CivGeneral paced the hallways of the great Foreign Affairs office, on the one hand eager to see Japanatican land and prosperity increase, but on the other hand nervous, both about the armies in the field, and the citizens at home. This was a war that was backed by the citizens - the Iroquois had, many many moons before, shed Japanatican blood, and, although they had supported in the war against Rome, they had not atoned for their previous transgressions. They must be punished, and the people knew this. However there was a very strong contingent, particularly in Zarnia, that was against any further expansionist wars, and CivGeneral knew that if the goverment failed to act carefully, dissension could break out among the populace.
Minister Civman2004 practiced his speech
We are about to declare war on the Iroquois. We have a number of objectives - more land, depriving them of their Iron and Saltpeter, capturing some furs, and more. It is a war heavily weighted in our favour. This thread is for discussion as the war progresses.

With great sadness, Executive Ambassador Tudoi read the letter twice, picked up his meager belongings and walked out of his office, locking the door behind him. For the moment, his presence would not be required in the Iroquois homelands, and if he did not leave immediately he knew he would be in great danger.Essential you evatuate immediately... diplomatic negotiations failed... matter of utmost secrecy... sincerely Adviser Civman2004

providing words that would centuries later be taken in jest, but at this moment were deadly serious. He knew the Japanatican armies would be victorious, but was likewise concerned about the home situation.Gentlemen, I have signed legislation to outlaw the Iroquois. We begin attacking in 10 years.
