Rebuild of Revolution

To: European Powers
From: Tsar Mikhail II


-

It has been agreed that our daughter, the princess Natasha Romanova, shall marry the Emperor of the French. As with regards to the previous marriage arrangement, this shall not constitute the establishment of an alliance between France and Russia, but is purely a private matter for Our royal dynasty. Our formal commitments and our readiness to uphold them remain unchanged.

~ Mikhail II.
 
In others a relative of the Emperor and a princess of France will be set to greet a Russian prince. Princess Alexandrine Marie Bonaparte will be set forth, while His Imperial Majesty continued to bless investment in Russia and encourages other business in other lands to invest.

Peace rains on the world. I think its time for a celebration with wine.
 
ooc: I'm going to presume that this princess is a niece of the Emperor of France, or a daughter to a previous marriage (ex-wife currently deceased) seeing as a Russian princess marrying a divorced Emperor would be absolutely impossible (if this is the case Ailedhoo, the second marriage arrangement would be immediately cancelled). Likewise for the record, since Ailedhoo sprung this second request on me after the first request was agreed too, I am going back and deleting the assumption I made that the French princess was a daughter of the current Emperor, and changing the reference to simply a "French princess" (to cover for say a niece, on the basis that a royal marriage can only proceed to legitimate children, bastards being excluded on principle. This would also allow for a daughter if the Emperor did have a previous wife who kicked the bucket after giving him a daughter [presumably on the basis of the disappointment])

TREATY WITH RUSSIA!

Maximilian III accepts yet another treaty with Russia in where they agree to break up Europe between them. Basically the HRE will get Central Poland and Dalmatia.

KINGDOM OF CROATIA FOUNDED!

OOC: I'm not releasing a puppet state, vassal or whatever. The unification of the HRE made the former states of the HRE (kingdoms included) subdivisions within the Empire, not puppet states.

As soon as the treaty was announced, the Empire conquered most of Croatia in order to gain access to the Mediterranean, something that would surely help the Imperial income. While much of the conquered territory went to Austria, the rest of the conquered territory was incorporated into the newborn Kingdom of Croatia and it was given to the sister of the Emperor, Marie Caroline. As soon as next year arrives, the Emperor will strike out the rest of Croatia and give it out to her. He will also attack Poland and will give it to his 10 year old son, Jonathan.

He, however, fears that these conquests (and specially now that he is considering colonizing Africa or Asia) will overexite separists. Therefore, he orders an expansion of the army and the creation of a new fleet.

The United States would like to point out to the Quebecois that we have no national language, and that we own many formerly French lands.
 
The French offer to buy Meidrida if need be to secure it; we wish not our dispute with the Swiss to interfere with French colonial aims.

As for the Citizen Vanguard and the Revolutionary Council who protest against their Emperor then it will known that the Emperor is prepared to have a great meeting to determine the willing of the future of France but know that the Eagle will remain on the throne with absolute authority. Hence I will prove the strength of France; as you all know we are doing well in the colonial and have seized important asset in Persia in the form of Bandar Abbas. I vow to increase the prestige and power of the French ever more.

Any rate; what ever the final decision is set in reaction to the Vanguard and Council the French Empire must expand.


The Emperor will not be remembered for failing to expand for the Civilization Mission and France!
 
The Citizen Vanguard demands to be made the ruling party.
 
Does the Vanguard value itself higher than France itself?

Of my council I am asked...

"We notice the Vanguard have a lot of funds; this French funds or foreign? Are the Vanguard being hired by foreign powers? Betraying the French?"

If a riot breaks loose the Vanguard will have French blood on their hands. I am prepared to mobilise my armies to defend Paris. I have watched France bloom and am repaid with violent threats.

We cannot trust the Vanguard to rule in high politics of diplomacy. Mobilise the army for defence of Paris and the Emperor!

EXPANSION INTO CROATIA, CREATION OF THE KINGDOM OF POLAND AND CREATION OF THE PROTECTORATE OF KOREA

2/4/39, 5/3/39 and 10/8/39 respectively

The HRE continues to expand into the influence zones agreed upon with Russia. The HRE has annexed what was left of Croatia and created a kingdom (temporarily in exile) for Poland (OOC: Read what I say about Croatia, it still applies here). The HRE, in addition, has also expanded into Korea. This was done because, the Emperor is starting to feel it is the duty of the Empire to civilize the rest of the world, and since theire is much competition in Southeastern Asia, and while the Emperor doesn't deny the possibility of colonizing it, Korea is also a very good place to civilize. It has many heathens desesperate for civilization and it also makes a good trade center.

This, however, worries much of the diet, fearing the evergrowing dissidency of the subjects of the Empire, who stubbornly refuse the fact that the Empire shall never be the anarchic political mess it once was. The Empire, while they want to keep peace in Europe, the internal peace of the Empire is also very important and therefore, it shall continue with the expansion of the army to moderate levels, as unfortunately for a long time the army has been ignored. The Emperor also wants to encourage a plan to lower the period of conscription, much to the outrage of the electors. While such measure might affect the economic situation of the Empire, truth is, that the Empire has a booming economy, and a few small expenses won't hurt it.

TO THE FRENCH AND DUTCH

10/20/39

We would like to call a meeting between our countries on how shall we breakup the Asian continent. In addition, anyone wanting to colonize the continent and want to assist is more than welcome to do so.

WIDESPREAD DEFECTIONS OF PARISIAN SOLDIERS; MANNING BARRICADES. Paris, French Empire. Emperor Napoleon II has ordered the clearing of Vanguard camps in Paris using the army, as well as the ordering of executions for Vanguard leaders. The conservative high command, however, is now reporting that the middle officer corps has been breached with Vanguard sympathies, and many mid-ranking officers are refusing to open fire on the protesters, and are manning the camps.

The Citizen Vanguard leadership is now calling for the abdication of Napoleon II, and troops are drilling in the countryside.
 
From: Great Xiang Empire
To: White Western Barbarians who expand in Korea (HRE)


His Imperial Highness the Son of Heaven Emperor Dongfang Bubai is displeased to learn that soldiers from your insignificant barbaric tribe dare to invade Korea and thus threaten the security of the Great Xiang Empire. The Great Xiang Empire cannot accept the establishment of a barbaric tribe so close to it's borders. His Imperial Majesty has ordered that you evacuate Korea, either by your own free will (if you have common sense and you smart enough, something hard for barbarians) or be forced to leave after military action.

However, His Imperial Highness does not want to waste precious Chinese lives to fend off uncivilized barbarians and so wants a peaceful withdrawal of your forces. Also, your chieftain (OOC: Emperor) is given the honor to be invited to Beijing and meet with the Celestial Emperor and have the honor to personally kowtow before him. This is an honor only a few mortals manage to obtain, so you can consider yourself lucky.
 
...the Emperor of France is not amused by the traitors in the army.

Meidrida will be given up, for we cannot maintain it in this crisis. The Vanguard have cost us a colonial procession. We hope we could attend the HRE's meeting but for now we face the Vanguard.

All loyal forces are to prepare to defend the Emperor. However... I cannot allow the costs of so many French. I... sacrifice the throne for France and request asylum in the USA with my Russian wife. May my successor heed pragmatism... and the Civilization Mission succeed.

France is in turmoil. The Emperor has abdicated. The Citizen Vanguard marches on Paris. They cannot be allowed to take power lest we see a rehearsal of Napoleon. I propose we mobilize and prepare to secure France, cut it down so that it will not pose a threat again, and stabilize it back to normalcy.

We realize that the treaty was signed in order to defend against French aggression, but taking action now will likely forever cease tensions in Western Europe. What say you?
 
Emperor Napoleon II's escape was tipped off by IN members currying favor with the newly crowned Louis Philippe I of France. Napoleon II was beheaded on the spot.
 
Louis proclaims that France will not be in turmoil! Napeloen II is dead! Emperor Lois is to be on the throne! Louis will now serve as Emperor of France!

I declare to the Swiss that I will dream of peace and that if they dream of war we will not see it in the interest of the league to respect the Swiss who violate Westphalia. We are to cure our national problems; France is no longer in turmoil! Viva la most greatest nation ever created by God! We will not be weak again!

The Revolution is dead!
