Sure, you've said stuff, but you've yet to cause any trouble here...
Oh, don't worry, I actually sorta forgot about you there. A most grievous mistake, it won't happen again. I promise!
As the French Empire is the second largest behind Britian in size this means that France has lots to say.
Yes, indeed, it has a lot to answer for. For instance, the fact that the natives in the colonies are starving, dirty and poor. Yes-yes, in that huge empire of yours. And the same in Tunisia and Algeria, albeit they supposedly are parts of France. And don't get me started on the slums within France.
Our economy has never been greater, and the Emperor Napoleon IV has seen to set us on the path of imperial expansion.
Your economy would have been much greater had you and the previous governments not thrown the money for internal development to colonial imperialism. Not to mention that you are even poorer then Britain (which, being the largest empire in the world, has even lower living standards; that might be saying something...).
And how SPLENDID! Imperial expansion! To hell with the social reforms and with the slums, lets gain MORE COLONIES!
Our war with Spain goes greatly.
"We have conquered some garrison-less colonies" is more like it.
The Basques and Cantolinese have revolted and will become faithful allies to the French throne.
Somehow I missed the second part. Especially in Catalonia where - at last - the banner of the Internationale has been raised.
Preperations are being made on the Pyrenees frontier to replace the King of Spain with someone more competent.
Not very hard, albeit unnecessary.
We will also hold new elections in the Spainish Kingdom and ensure that their constituion which preaches liberty, fraternity and glory and thus should be preserved.
Their constitution already preaches all that. You might want to make them actually enforce it.
Our great American brothers, the United States of America have continued to make strides towards the goal of a secure peoples in the new world.
Yes - by invading Mexico and throwing Latin America into chaos by wrecking SADETO.
The Empire of Japan negotitated and brought the French colony of Indochina. Now the reason for this was Indochina while strategic was not profitable and due to the new arangement with the Japanese, France and Japan work side by side, equal and strong!
The fact that there were people there who didn't want to be put under Japanese rule, or that indeed apart from profits and strategy there are also live people, human beings there seems to have gone unnoticed.
Relations with the Russian Empire has continued to strengthen and with the a state visit by Tsar Alexander II expected to the Imperial capital of Paris, our relations look set in a most friendly fashion.
Yes. Russians have invaded Romania whose independance was guaranteed by France and the French government immediately started to suck up to Russia whilst forgetting about Romania.
Even relations with the Greater German Reich have begun to thaw out as diplomats from the German Foreign Ministry and the Imperial Government continue to find solutions for the grieveneces we both have against each other.
I somehow fail to see any development in that direction...
The United Kingdom and its Empire ha sissued a stern note against the French and American liberation of the Spainish people. If Britain does side with these tyrants then we shall stand true and tall and defeat the hordes of the iron *****, Victoria!
Sigh... The British government I like not - but think of all the people who will die in such a struggle! I hope that it does not come to war. Besides, Spain will free itself soon anyway, the rebellion has already started there.
To politcal matters the continued interference of French internal politics from the netowrk known as the Socialist Workers Solidarity Network or SWSN run by the individual known only as D.A.S. is a major concern. We shall ensure French politics are kept pure and without foreign interference of this most foul kind. We shall never bow down to the wishes of terrorists!
Again, I still do not see any proof of the existance of "SWSN". Besides, wasn't it just "Socialist Solidarity Network" recently? Or did you decide to change names to keep your demented authoritarian sovjet (or council) interested?
Are you even sure the Argentine military wishes to withdraw?
The Argentinean military's plans are unknown even to itself. But offiically, they do. OFFICIALLY.
The Spainish people will and SHALL BE LIBERATED!
That they will - but the restoration of absolute monarchy is hardly liberation.
