SKNES II: The Bonaparte Legacy

[ChiefDesigner]

FROM: The Ottoman Empire
TO: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

All peoples of the Ottoman Empire -- Christian and Muslim, Turk and Arab, Armenian and Greek, will join together to resist Soviet atheism and imperialism.

We have already agreed to withdraw from Saudi Arabia, once they stop trying to overthrow our government. The Soviet army will be stopped here in its tracks.

From: Saudi Arabia
To: The Ottoman Empire

We have made no efforts to overthrow your government. What possible reason would we have to do so? Your invasion of our country was completely unprovoked, and Allah shall now smite you for it.

You sponsored Wahabbist radicals in our major cities. You have stated your intention to end Ottoman rule in 'Arab' territories. You clearly intend domination over the Middle East.

You were unwilling to change your policies. Are you willing to reconsider?

 

[SouthernKing]

Various stat errors have been fixed. And Grandkhan, your friend didn't sell you the bombers.

The general lethargy of my responses this turn can be attributed to the release of EU4 and shouldn't continue beyond now.

You know to ignore the "withdraw from Mexico which I've already done" in my orders, right?

The Wahabbists only sought to save your souls. We only sought to free the Arabs in your lands, but made no aggressive moves to claim it. The fact that so many listened to the Wahhabists and pan-Arabs shows that you have clearly been doing something wrong with them. We will not give up our cause.

Your hypocrisy is transparent. The inciting of revolts clearly demonstrates that you do not accept the legitimacy of Ottoman rule; it is, as per the laws of war, an aggressive action aimed at the Ottoman regime.

Invent better lies.

Some notes regarding ASECP

Each nation should send a delegation with a strictly peaceful scientific project. The conference will be used as a forum to exchange ideas on technology and economics, sign trading pacts, etc. However, for reasons of national security, no military exhibitions will be permitted. Moreover, to prevent a disaster similar to the democratic conference, advocacy for ideologies and government systems (Communist, Progressist, Liberal Democratic, Fascist, Monarchic or otherwise) will be strictly prohibited. You may display the scientific successes that your system produces, but you may not advocate directly for your system. Let your innovations speak for you!

I will respond to USSR vs. Ottomans in the next post.

 

[spaceman98]

To The Soviet Union:

China condemns your invasion of the Ottoman empire, and your unlawful intervention in Middle Eastern affairs. We demand that you cease your aggression immediately since it only encourages the Saudis to continue funding religious extremism (which btw is reactionary, according to your own founding text) and prompts the Arab state to refuse reasonable offers by the Ottomans!

We are currently weighing our options in response to this, and are considering everything from banning you from the ASECP conference, to sending troops to intervene in support of the Ottomans. China will not stand by and watch as one of our allies is invaded, and you fuel the escalation of a local conflict into a major catastrophe.

We encourage other nations to condemn this uncalled for intervention and we encourage the Arabs and Ottomans to work together towards a peaceful solution to this crisis so that it does not spread.

Additionally, all security necessary for this will be provided by the Coreans.

OOC: Sorry for the triple post.

To: China, Corea
From: Siam

We would be happy to attend the ASECP and we hope that this conference is beneficial for us all.

 

[Milarqui]

Germany will send an observer to the ASECP.

We have an existing mutual defence agreement with Saudi Arabia. Our intervention is not un-called for, it is mandated by international treaty. You, however, have no such agreement with the Ottoman Empire, and are simply acting out of a (really terrible) opportunism.

China is simply pursuing the same irresponsible foreign policy it has done previously, and seeks some petty revenge for us supporting Spain against your unprovoked attack. We gave the Ottomans ample opportunity, as we did you, to negotiate a peaceful resolution with the Arabs, but none came about.

Further, you cannot ban us from ASECP for nationalistic partisan reasons. You are not in control of an international conference, if anything Corea is.

A Chinese invasion of Soviet territory will fail. Hard. You lack the logistical support or equipment to effectively prosecute a campaign so far away from your centers of supply. We possess pre-positioned troops, interior lines, and superior support, not to mention international allies that will support us against you.

From Great Britain

From the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
To the Ottoman Empire

In response to your invasion of Arabia consider us now at war until the Arab people are liberated from your imperialist yoke. Also maybe the Kurds.

Workers of the World Unite!

We condemn the USSR’s invasion of the Ottoman empire, as well as what has been shown to be the USSR’s large-scale assassination program within the Ottoman military, government and civilian religious movement.

There can be NO justification for the murders committed or that will be committed by these actions.

FROM: The Ottoman Empire

We have already agreed to withdraw from Saudi Arabia, once they stop trying to overthrow our government.

The overtures made by the Ottoman empire towards the Saudis are more than fair.

The Saudis have sent destabilizing infiltrators into Ottoman (and British) lands in the hopes of stirring public sentiment against their rightful government and influencing the public towards a version of Islam that is little more than a mouthpiece for their own political agenda.

The Saudi claim to serve Islam in destabilizing the Arab territories is little more than empty rhetoric used to justify continuing a war meant to weaken the Ottomans and serve as justification for Soviet invasion.

Their refusal to come to peace is little more than an artificial casus belli for the Soviet invasion.

We agree with the sentiments of the Chinese government and add our voice to theirs in condemning the Soviet aggression and in encouraging the Saudis to accept the very reasonable peace offered by the Ottomans.

To: France and Germany
CC: Europe
From: Free Poland

The Free Polish Provisional Government urges both the fascist and democratic camps to set aside their petty differences in the face of the greatest threat civilized mankind has yet to face. The Red Rus' aggression on our eastern border in these past few months have cost the lives of several of our brave Polish soldiers, even as their homeland remains half-occupied by the subhuman Rus'. If a war were to break out across the Rhine today and weaken France and Germany, the Rus' would be able to march their Communist hordes to Gibraltar within a year, ending millenia of western civilization and enacting policies that would decimate all of our worthy people. We urge Europe to remain united, as though differences remain between Fascist and Democrat and Frenchmen and Germans, Communists and Russians are completely alien to all good Europeans.

Britain adds its voice to that of Poland in encouraging a united diplomatic voice from Europe vis-à-vis Soviet intentions.

From Great Britain to Soviet Russia,

Surely you recognize that the Ottomans have given every opportunity for peace with the Saudis and that continued war between the Ottomans and the Saudis is effectively little more than Saudi aggression. For an outsider, it appears therefore that the Soviets are waging not a war of mutual protection, but one of outright aggression. Again, from an outsider's perspective, the refusal of the Saudis to come to peace is little more than thinly disguised casus belli for your own war of aggression.

 

[christos200]

Greece would like to declare that it will stay netrual in the war. We hope that the Soviets will not mind our netruality. We have already our own problems in Epirus.

These are not the terms the Saudis inform us they received. If Britain wishes to continue to prop up a decaying empire, it will soon find that the Red Army is not some African militia or Mexican banditos.

 

[Immaculate]

We have no such intentions.

Simply put, we're calling you out for what you are; an aggressive invader with a thinly-veiled excuse for your blood-thirsty warmongering. And murderers (you are obviously behind the assassinations of military and civilian, including religious clerics persons in the coordinated attack upon the Ottomans in the last 1/2 year).

EDIT: went back and underlined some words.

 

[Shadowbound]

If we were so bloodthirsty, would our terms of peace be independence for the Arab territories of the Ottoman Empire? It's clear they have no desire to be ruled from Istanbul any longer, and that continued Ottoman control of them puts our ally at risk of invasion.
