What land and naval forces would be needed and so forth.<BR/> <BR/>Item#3: Another similar consultation regarding a descent upon the southern shore of the Baltic.<BR/><BR/>The King: It may be that we must choose betwen Item #2 and #3 rather than both especially if Item #1 is adopted soonest. The New World is going to be under attack from Britannia. Our joint interests there must take precedence - in the very immediate future I should think. <BR/><BR/>Rapprochement: Oui Your Majesty.
