France has no interests in these areas at this time; le Maghreb is far too arid for comfort, and while the Piedmont has some lovely skiing, we are not interested in it as a military base. France agrees to keep all military units out of these four areas. However, the Minister of Defense insists that we insert a clause permitting us to partially or completely withdraw from the treaty with six months' notice. Is this satisfactory? =C9mile Loubet Premier de la R=E9publique From neilk@imsa.edu Tue Jul 11 17:26 EDT 2000 Received: from staffmail.imsa.edu (castor.imsa.edu [143.195.1.6]) by cs.brown.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA17674 for ; Tue, 11 Jul 2000 17:26:04 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from root@localhost) by staffmail.imsa.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with X.500 id QAA20842 for dpb@cs.brown.edu; Tue, 11 Jul 2000 16:26:23 -0500 Received: from pollux.imsa.edu (IDENT:root@pollux.imsa.edu [143.195.1.4]) by staffmail.imsa.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA20838 for ; Tue, 11 Jul 2000 16:26:23 -0500 Received: from localhost (neilk@localhost) by pollux.imsa.edu (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA13502 for ; Tue, 11 Jul 2000 16:26:23 -0500 X-Authentication-Warning: pollux.imsa.edu: neilk owned process doing -bs Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 16:26:23 -0500 (CDT) From: Neil Krasovec To: Don Blaheta Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Status: RO X-Status: A Content-Length: 1049 Lines: 27 Greetings to our Neighbor and friend, the Ruler of France. We are proud to see a strong France standing where revolutionary anarchy once tore your vinyards with blood and violence. We can still recall a time when all of Germany was occupied by savage tribes, barely united in peace under the benevolent hand of the Roman Authority. Because we are now a peace-loving people, and have no intentions of returning to the savagery of the past, we wish to establish regional peace. Long have the plans of Alsace-Lorraine been traded between us by one bloodletting after another. Now let us swear peace, and avoid the mistakes of the past. We have an interest in discussing the disposition of the neutral coasts of the North Sea. We are tentatively willing to sign a treaty whereby we do not occupy Ruhr in exchange for you leaving Burgandy unoccupied. However, such a treaty cannot be ratified until we are satisfied with other diplomatic concerns. If this treaty interests you, please contact us.

All diplomacy should be sent to me, and I will send it along to the country you've written to. You can send your messages one at a time, with the subject line the route of the message (To Canada from America). Or you can send multiple messages as part of the same email, each seperated by a routing indication. I don't really care. Diplomacy has begun, and I've already sent out messages to you all. I will continue to forward diplomatic messages through the spring and fall turns up until the winter season. Diplomacy will stop then until builds are finished. There is no diplomacy during builds. First moves are due Tuesday, the 18th of July, at 5:00pm.

As for the latter, we are interested only in sending forces to protect our cousins in Belgium; we presume that Germany will desire to visit their cousins of Holland. However, we worry over the fact that Holland's proximity to Germany would make it possible for rogue military forces to harry the French troops this autumn when we will move to occupy Belgium; and thus, as a token of good faith we request that the German forces delay occupying Holland until autumn as well. At that time, we can meet in Maastricht to sign a formal treaty demilitarizing the Ruhr valley and la Bourgogne. Until that time, as a token of our good faith, France will keep its forces out of those areas, as we assume will Germany as well.

Your proposals sound good in theory, and it is theoretically possible for me to occupy Holland later in the year, as you suggest. However, if I do make such a delay, I leave my own expansion vulnerable to British imperial aggression from the North Sea. The only way that I could protect my own expansion would be to move an army into Ruhr to support my Dutch interests. However, from your vantage point this leaves you just as vulnerable with respect to your Belgian occupation. (For an Army is Ruhr could block you as readily as a fleet in Holland) If the British move to occupy the North Sea, as we must assume that they will, they could easily interfere with either of our expansion. We two are diplomatically at a delicate juncture, as either of us could easily step on the others' prerogatives to our mutual long term detriment. I have not yet heard from England, and I must presume that you have not either. I'm disinclined to risk my own security (establishing a Dutch presence), even for the sake of French friendship. Have you any suggestions, Emile? I fear to say that we should behave publicly with profound distrust for one another, regardless of our private feelings, so as to not become the target of the naval power of the British or the Russians. But I simply cannot see how I can satisfy your own security with respect to Belgium without jeopardizing mine. Please give me the benefit of your wisdom.

Well, given that choice, I would certainly prefer an early Dutch occupation to disturbing the tranquility of the Ruhr and Burgundy regions. France will grant the Ruhr-Burgundy DMZ in any case, though of course we would be greatly pleased if diplomatic relations between England and Germany permitted an autumn occupation of Holland, as we suggested in our last communication. However, we realize that the Kaiser likely wishes to secure his western border so as to concentrate his energy on defending against the Russian incursion; the English colluding with the Russians will not make his job any easier. Best of luck.

An invasion at the whim of His Majesty (perish the thought) would, of course, not suffice. If, however, the Kaiser were to make unreasonable and threatening offensives against the Crown, we could be persuaded to take a hand in resolving the issue.

As it currently stands, the most that the Russian Bear can accomplish by the Winter is to move a unit into Sweden. It looks like he may be making the unwise decision to convoy an Army into it. Regardless, he'll have one unit in Sweden, and you will have one in Denmark, meaning that there won't be much he'll be able to accomplish in the short term without revealing his long-term intentions. In short, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

His Majesty might be well advised to use one fleet to support the other in his Norwegian occupation, to prevent such an unfortunate occurrence: having kept you out of Norway and its resources this autumn, he can then use his Swedish fleet to support the army into Norway in the spring, n'est-ce pas? Of course, it is quite possible for Germany to use his Danish fleet to keep the tsar out of Sweden in the autumn, though that would presumably constitute an open act of war.

I imagine that you have been expecting this dispatch since hearing news of the military maneuvering in the low countries: France is, as you might guess, greatly distressed at the collusion of the Kaiser and the King in the English occupation of a territory we believe to more rightly belong under French guidance and protection. How do you currently feel about your northern neighbor? Are you yet committed to further expansion elsewhere, or can I expect some support on your northern front?

It appears that you and the Sultan have more to worry about there; the recent troop levy in Naples shows that Italy is interested in attacking to the east and south. Perhaps once the situation on our northern border crystallizes somewhat (and Italy's full intentions are made clear), we can assist you on that front. Incidentally, is the Balkan War an each-for-himself affair, or have you allied with the Sultan? It appears that with some luck and some good strategy, you are positioned to clean up down there.

I think I can manage to fend off the Anglo-German assault for a while now, since they look like they'll only get one additional source of supplies this year, in Sweden. That assumes that you won't support Germany's inevitable move toward Poland, of course. Is this an accurate assumption?

Oh, indeed. Surely you could have sent an "11th hour" courier to myself as well as to your troops? Even had I not been able to compensate (and how could I have?) I would have been rather more believing of your "balance of power" argument. > I hope this will not seriously impact our dealings together in the > future, and am willing to negotiate over the low countries. France wants Belgium. What else do you want, if not Belgium? Oh, and > ...and four units along his western border. is hyperbole at best. What four? Belgium, of course, and at a stretch one might think of Paris, but Brest and Marseilles are certainly not "on his western border" by any stretch of the imagination. France is quite displeased at this turn of events, and your weak rationalization is certainly not enough to suddenly make us allies.

An interesting thought. I had assumed he did what he did in order to get an army in spitting distance of Warsaw, which he couldn't have done with his Ruhr army. However, you have a good point---I hadn't considered the idea of a German backstab. On the other hand, it really doesn't change my plans, since it doesn't matter to me whether the Belgian army is English or German. > Perhaps I am reading to much into this, or perhaps you should speak to > England, if you have not already.

Turkey should be a non-issue at this point---offer to support Italy into Smyrna in exchange for support into Ankara, and there's nothing the Sultan can do, and you only need your Constantinople fleet; you can then retake Smyrna later at your leisure (or not at all, if you prefer). Then you only need three units to guarantee a recovery of Rumania, leaving the rest to focus northward.

I am not sure that I wouldn't do the same. I will make no apologies, for I did not expect Russia and then Italy to stab me. I can only appeal to the future, and say that a year from now Germany and England will be in France, and Vienna. Although I did not bring any forces to the German front, and if you looked at the board you could understand why, I did help you in other ways. I lured Munich to Silesia, and opened up a force on that front, allowing you to gain Burgundy. I also prevented a German build last year, and persuaded the English to move up North allowing you to gain the channel. Your position could not have been gained without my promises of support in those areas. If I had actually allied with Germany, both he and I would be in better positions now, and yours would surely be worse. Now I am offering you an extra unit next year, and will help to ensure that Germany does not get a build for Warsaw, again, and that a unit that could have been used against the French front will be once again spinning around in Central Europe. And again, my appeal to the future. If Russia falls, and AH moves all of her forces to the Southern front, France will be the next to follow, with no chance of anyone engaing Germany on the Eastern front. Consider my plea. AH.

As I've said, I don't necessarily need you to "positively contribute", but it appears to be a stalemate until you stop supporting England. You could to the King make the excuse of diplomatic difficulty in the East, n'est-ce pas? It is certainly plausible that you would want an army in Silesia to support your Polish conquest (or to retake it in the Spring), thus necessitating a shuffle of Ruhr-Munich and Munich-Silesia. (The Ruhr-Munich move would "obviously" be necessary to counter the "French threat".) The King might be upset, but I doubt he would suspect any duplicitousness on your part.

How does this help me, exactly? Not having Munich attack only helps inasmuch as it allows L'Armee de la Bourgogne to support my Belgian claim---if I were to adjust it into Marseilles, it would be just as unable to lend such support as if the Kaiser had attacked it himself.

A good point, but I'm quite certain the King will be more interested in retaking Wales than cutting support in the channel; and I would prefer to have an army in Belgium, as it is more maneuverable and can then provide mutual defense to the Burgundian army. > My main interest is in keeping Austria viable long enough to avoid > being swallowed by Italy, thus the complicated maneuvers. Ah, indeed. Franz-Josef has been displaying supreme incompetence lately, so you would seem to have your work cut out for you in supporting him. At least you have the Black Sea to yourself.

Anyway, that delay was about one day. The other delays were player delays, and I understand that I've been a little too lenient with deadline enforcement. In light of that, I'm going to start enforcing deadlines. That's not to say I'm no longer going to allow extensions, just that a player will need to ask for an extension before I give one. If you forget to turn moves in, your country is in civil disorder. That being said, Fall 1904 moves due at 5pm, Monday September 18th.

[4] England convoys an army from Norway into Belgium. The French attempt to disrupt the convoy, while noble, fails. The fleet from Belgium doesn't have enough str to dislodge Nth, and the support from Germany clears the way for the English army.

The Italian army from Albania, for once, takes Serbia and the Austrian unit disbands. [2] Ruhr moves into Burg, but Burg takes Picardy. This time there is no fleet ready to ferry the English army across the channel, and the unit disbands. Not their finest hour. [3] The Germans land in Livonia, but the Russian army manages a forward retreat. The Russians "liberate" Warsaw. The German army holding the Polish capital must decide which Poles to oppress now: they can chose from populations in Silesia, Galaxia, or the Ukraine. [4] Fleets in Istanbul, patrolling the coast of Eastern Thrace, help the Ottoman fleet, in Bulgaria, repulse an Italian attack from the Aegean Sea. The Italian fleet returning to the Aegean is met by a superior Ottoman fleet sailing from Smyrna. The Italian fleet is surrounded and forced to disband. The large number of prisoners taken glutted the market, sending the price of slaves in Istanbul to an all time low. RETREATS I need a retreat order from the German ASAP.

They fail when promised aid from Brest doesn't arrive. Armies in Brest are stopped by English ships and forced to disband. On the upside, each English naval officer now has his own French chef. In the South, French fleets out maneuver the English and seize the Mid Atlantic. [2] Germans in Munich, upset over their governments harsh treatment of the Poles, attempt to defect to Switzerland. They're stopped at the border and forced back into armed service. German armies in the Ukraine, bored with growing fat off the labor of the Polish, decide to see the sights of Moscow. The Russian policemen guarding the Red Square leave in disgust. [3] After having enough of the hedonistic lifestyles of the Magyars and Romanians in Budapest and Transylvania, leave the management of those territories to the Italians. The locals immediately call for a carnival. The Russians instead decide to liberate the Serbs from lascivious rule of the Italians, who are forced to leave Serbia. The Serbian Church celebrates with 4 weeks of fasting. Orders from the Sublime Porte in Istanbul to move the fleet from Smyrna to the Aegean fall on the deaf ears of a few shepherds and fishermen. Crews left without orders in Istanbul run amok through the streets, but no one notices. Ottoman fleets in the Aegean receive their orders to take Greece, but promised aid from Thrace was cut by Italian troops working out of Serbia. And Turkish and Italian fleets square off in the Ionian and the Eastern Med, with neither the victor. RETREATS I need retreats ASAP. From Russia I need to know if the army in Moscow will head to the Ukraine, or to Sev. From Italy I need to know if the army should go to Albania or to Trieste.

French forces stationed in both centers are disbanded. A French sortie into the Mid Atlantic also fails to stop the English advance. [2] Russian madmen mistake Turkish seamen for soldiers and press them to take over the responsibility of governing the Rumanians. The scheme fails. The Russian garrison in Rumania is overwhelmed by the Germans and the soldiers are forced to disband. Organized crime in Rumania now has a distinctive Russian flair. The Russians are also forced out of Budapest, but are able to retreat to Galacia. [3] The relative peace in the Mediterranean is marred only by a lone Turkish fleet's attempt to take the Ionian. The Turks fail, and shell the Greeks in Cyprus out of boredom. RETREATS The only issue here is what the Russian army in Budapest does. It can either disband or retreat to Galacia.
