OOC: 1. Are any of the territories I conquered last turn ceded to me on the map? Or am I misunderstanding how war works here? 2. How can Math send his armies to Jerusalem if Dom can just blockade him from it since he'd win in a naval battle?
The Khitan invasion of Jewish soil has certainly sparked great upheaval internationally. Earlier this week, in the first time the Great Liao Qaghanate of White and High has ever been named 'The Middle Kingdom', Liao Gaozu gave the following speech to his people:
To all the Khitan people, and to all the allies of the Liao state I hope you're by now aware of the situation we face. The Great Qaghanate of White and High has made many advancements over the past decade. We have risen to be the principal power not only in Asia, but in the world at large as well. The navy of the DB Corp. has allowed us to focus on the most impressive army of our day. Our alliance with that great Amurian state had stabilized the entire continent into the most protected state in this world. However, recently the Amurians have become the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and seem to have shifted closer to Europe than Asia. Equally startling, they're development has begun to accelerate, while the Japanese islands promised to us in the Treaty of Irkutsk have set up their own government, as is their right. But how is the Khitan nation to continue its own development as open land shrinks? How are we to avoid being the weakest bond among our most honored allies? The answer is to expand, my sons, it's to expand. Our armies are numerous and people in our east cry out for liberation from their oppressors. Our actions will not only serve to save the people of the Middle East, but also open the Mediterranean Sea to Khitan armies. As our allies stand with us, we urge all nations to accept this turn of events. The Holy Land will most certainly retain rule over its core territory, but indeed most of its land and people will fall like a ripe fruit to the Heavenly Qaghanate. The road ahead is long, but the people of the DB Corp, of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and of the Middle Kingdom.
In other news, the Khitan fully approve of the second Soviet proposal for the continuation of peace between them and the Holy Land.
