The return to such a heinous state, between two of our near neighbours, is one which is viewed by all educated gentlemen within our state with grave concern. <BR/>Upon close examination of the wording of your note, it appears that Gallia is claiming the right of Passage across any territory as decided by yourselves, without due consideration to the inherent rights of the states so violated.<BR/>Graciously, however, your Lord and King does offer that such states which do his bidding will not suffer the 'injuries of war'. <BR/>My Lord Heinrich would have your masters know that any attempted movements of troops by Gallia, or any of her allies, through the lands of Uber Gruntshuffen will be thought of as an act of war.<BR/>In addition, movement of any of the above mentioned forces through Unter Gruntshuffen will be viewed as an hostile act.<BR/>Lord Heinrich wishes it to be known that he has no desire to see the deterioration of the normally cordial relations between our two countries. However, he is determined (as are we all) that no aggresive actions against his lands will be tolerated.<BR/><BR/>Yours etc<BR/>Feldmarschall H. von Rottenwieler<BR/>Master of the OrdananceSteveIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872240161596231916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-14613811284239599772007-06-02T04:59:00.000-07:002007-06-02T04:59:00.000-07:00To the l'Comte de Rapprochement de Gallia,In order...To the l'Comte de Rapprochement de Gallia,<BR/><BR/>In order to speed you an urgent diplomatic reply our current position is as follows.<BR/><BR/>The present will of the Duchy of Saxe-Huack is to remain neutral to your conflict. As a sovereign state we will not allow the passage of troops from either side. Any troops requesting such will be denied and any soldier of this conflict that attempts to invade our land will be attacked.<BR/><BR/>It is our hope that your conflict may be resolved diplomatically and quickly, so that trade and not blood will flow. <BR/><BR/>I have the honour to be, &c.,<BR/>//signed//<BR/>Alexander von Jagow<BR/>Foreign Minister<BR/>Baron of Dinante<BR/>-----------------------------------<BR/><BR/>To our friends and allies in the Reich,<BR/><BR/>Being on the far western border of the Reich, and being such a small state, news travels slow or not at all. Please tell us, noble lords, what news from Berlin on this matter of Gallia? We stand ready to bear arms for the Reich.<BR/><BR/>I have the honour to be, &c.,<BR/>//signed//<BR/>Alexander von Jagow<BR/>Foreign Minister<BR/>Baron of DinanteAuston Jeff Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510209818428843584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-85712019119755433072007-06-01T19:58:00.000-07:002007-06-01T19:58:00.000-07:00Dear l'Comte de Rapprochement de Gallia,The Princi...Dear l'Comte de Rapprochement de Gallia,<BR/><BR/>The Principality of Hesse-Engelburg is, like our Saxe-Bearstein allies, considering our options at the present time. However, given our more northernly position than Hesse-Seewald and Frankfurt, we feel confident there is no necessity for Gallian troops to traverse our soil, though Their Graces have consented that diplomatic discussion may be initiated to prove otherwise if the Prince should feel it necessary.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, Graf Sepp von Sickel, Minister of Trade, has suggested a meeting with his opposite number to discuss the security of trade routes through Gallia and her allies as well as to request that measures be taken to deal with one Madame La Grange, a merchant of Gallian cheeses who has been known to disparage the fine goat cheese products of Hesse-Engelburg with most reprehensible charges of having been cured by demon's breath or, even worse, of being in fact imported English cheese sold under false pretenses. We are certain the Gallian Minister of Trade will be eager to encourage the Madame to confine her advertising to positive qualities of her own product, which is a quite respectable cheddar enjoyed on occasion even at my own table.<BR/><BR/>Respectfully,<BR/><BR/>Burgraf Heinrich von Waffenschmidt<BR/>Minister of State for Hesse-EngelburgSnickering Corpseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207827630539622815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-47969390544903216732007-06-01T12:31:00.000-07:002007-06-01T12:31:00.000-07:00Dear l'Comte de Rapprochement de Gallia,We have al...Dear l'Comte de Rapprochement de Gallia,<BR/><BR/>We have always maintained a policy of neutrality with respect to your disagreements with Hesse-Seewald, and will continue to do so.<BR/><BR/>Our policy is to allow armies of friendly nations passage through our country, be warned however that tension is rising between our country and our neighbour Monrovia and that your forces could get caught up in a potential conflict.<BR/><BR/>We hope that you current problems with Hesse-Seewald, can be resolved without recourse to arms.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- Count Henrik von HimmelStein <BR/>for King Leopold IV of Wittenbergold-tiddershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055135576841243361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-15917089443794040522007-06-01T09:29:00.000-07:002007-06-01T09:29:00.000-07:00The VEIL is lifted.Time for all to put up arms.or ...The VEIL is lifted.<BR/>Time for all to put up arms.<BR/>or shut up in thier walls.MurdocKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693711825249632305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-77641301259681509162007-06-01T01:49:00.000-07:002007-06-01T01:49:00.000-07:00Dear l'Comte de Rapprochement de Gallia,Please kno...Dear l'Comte de Rapprochement de Gallia,<BR/><BR/>Please know that the Principality of Saxe-Bearstein is currently weighing our options.<BR/><BR/>As you know, we remained neutral during that Thirty Year Unpleasantness during the last century . . . and that our principality offered succor to many with our fine beverages.<BR/><BR/>Considering last year's actions of Hesse-Seewald in choosing to invade our homeland . . . and the fact that they seem to be preparing to do so again, we are obviously loath to side with them.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, Stagonia has declared that they are strongly in your camp . . . and, as you undoubtedly are aware, no civilized nation ever wishes to be allied with them.<BR/><BR/>So, for now we hope to remain neutral and to urge a peaceful resolution to your dispute with Hesse-Seewald or theirs with you . . . it is all so confusing.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, the RSM region has provided many new recruits for our armies and we are even now arranging for new uniforms.<BR/><BR/>It is our hope that you in Gallia could find it in your hearts to aid us in whatever way would most benefit our nation.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- Jeff of Saxe-Bearstein <BR/>for Furst Bruno von UrsaBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.com
