Post by: Haspen on February 03, 2015, 06:14:42 am

Please keep all out-of-character discussion, critique, error-reporting and such to OOC Thread! (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=148200.0)

~~Pre-1900 (Turn 0)~~

Christmas of year 1899 has been a time of peace and celebration. Now that the new century is slowly rolling in, the powers of the world end their festivities and have to go back to business - which is internal and foreign affairs.

For example, diplomatic pacts and treaties should be reviewed and formed, not to mention that forces should be deployed in strategic positions just in case.

Quote from: Deployment availability

HRE: 17, already deployed
Byzantine Empire: 4
Republic of France: 1
Southern German Confederacy: 2
USSR: none
British Empire: none
Hanseatic Republik: 2
Prussia: 1
Hungary: 2

Amelia thanked the coachman as she arrived at the National Meet. Today would be a fine day with the foreign affairs Ministers, and a well-greeting to the diplomats of the many other countries, neighboring or not.

Today would be a meeting with France, most of all, to commemorate their long-standing history (in bloodshed and in peace), as well as letters to the others of treaties and mutual trade and technology.

Today, was a good day.

Issue a Research Treaty request to the USSR and to Hungary.
Issue a Trade Treaty with the Byzantine Empire and Prussia.

Inquire an Alliance with France--and to all others, if they'd accept!

Build Academies: #1, 3, 4, 5.

Research: Diesel Fuel.

Citizen-Secretary Valles leaned over the table, carefully studying the map. "Here, here, and here. When the Holy Roman Emperor moves against us, these will be our key points of vulnerability. How long until the new recruits are ready for battle?"

Citizen-Secretary Renault looked up at her. "At least one year."

"Then we establish a concentrated response force and hold as best as we can. Who knows?" she said wryly. "We might even live to see it happen."

The Chairman examines the telegrams he'd just received from the border provinces, nodding along to the reports. Things were changing rapidly. The Czar was dead, the people controlled the land. And he lead the people, now that the previous Chairman had stepped down.

His eyes darted to a map of Europe, his lips curling into a slight frown. The change here had been good, he knew. But he could not say the same for the rest of Europe, and he could already see the wolves prowling around the heart of the motherland. They needed allies. They needed them quickly. Despite their success, a time of trouble would soon be descending upon their world, and he ill wished to see the land he loved suffer for it.

Holy Roman Empire:

Armies of Emperor Leopold IV disperse in northern territories. Meanwhile, in Greece, the Corintihan Yards are rebuilt, while the University of Amsterdam is inaugurated in the same day.

By the imperial edict, scholars and scientisits begin work on chemistry topics.

Holy Roman Empire is wondering if Hanseatic Republic, torch-bearer of sciences, would like to share their knowledge via Research Treaty.

After treaties were sent out, Britain was joyful at the massive responses it got from the other nations. Who knew that if you'd just ask directly, people would respond?

Amelia pushed away the cynic of politics as she went to reform the country and its socio-economic gap between the aristocracy and the poor. They needed a better attitude--in both many members and citizens. If this was had, society would grow and improve a thousandfold.

Build Academies: #1, 3, 5.

"Mein Statthalter, we have a communiqué from the Holy Roman Empire."

Engineers of Hungary ensures the road to progress; railroad network was expanded and two universities were open to those hungry of knowledge.

~~Turn 2 (Year 1900.2)~~

Quote from: Event Roll

53
Event type: 6, Immigration Boom
Province: #55, Normandy
Normandy (Republic of France) is now Populous!

Then, suddenly, news of warfare, destruction and revolt came from the south! The Southern German Confederacy collapsed when its leader was gone and the high-ranking officials allied with the italian nationalists. In Greece, the populace and army supporters rebelled against Imperial garrison, drenching the peninsula in blood; the revolt in Crete was milder. Infrastructure in mediterranean provinces was damaged.

That was the birth of Mediterranean League!

(http://i.imgur.com/l2CliyC.png)

Holy Roman Empire:

The nation has been paralyzed by the news of rebellion in the south. While construction projects continued - railroads were built in Germany - the army and the administration froze, contemplating what to do.

Mediterranean League:

The cabinet of the League was more sober; fortifications were built near Venice, and the capital of Neapol and its surroundings were strengthened as well, as youths were trained in combat.

Mediterranean League is sending urgent messages of friendship and offers of scientific or mercantile cooperation with two closest non-affiliates of Holy Roman Empire, that's it, Republic of France and Byzantine Empire.

Byzantine armies moved into Greece. The League soldiers put some resistance and dealt damage to invading force, but in the end, Greece fell into Byzantine hands. In the heavy fighting, Athens' harbor was heavily damaged and will require repairs if ships are to be launched from there.

"My friends, I have a fear to share with you."
The people below whispered amongst themselves, looking up at their grand leader. Not a few years past, the same man had seemed optimistic for the future, fresh from the revolution. But now... fear? Since when had Luka Kozlov ever been afraid?
"The armies of the capitalist Hansa arm at our very doorstep. I fear they seek to claim our great land for their own."
That shook them, their murmurings growing louder, more concerned.
"I fear that they will attempt to enslave us again, as the czar did! I fear they will clamp the iron chains of their wealth around our necks, drive us to work, to starve, to die in their names!"
The murmuring had turned to calls of anger, to shouts of rage. Death to the bourgeoisie! Death to the oppressors!
"But we shall take the fight to them, first! We shall defeat their corrupt rulers, and set their people free from the shackles which bind them!"
A roar of approval went up. Some broke out in song, the[/i] Internationale rising above the square as people filed away, and as the Chairman nodded in approval. Soon, yes, their brothers in Scandinavia would be free.

"General Fruehauf, why do we still have troops deployed in North Sweden?"
"Mein Statthalter, we still need to defend-"
"Defend? Are you dumb as well as blind? We are facing an existential threat, the likes of which we have not encountered since the First Scandinavian War!"
"The matter is very grave, but we can't dismiss caution."
"Caution be damned! I would sooner have the Republik razed to the ground, our fields salted, and every man, woman and child killed than serve under the same beasts who expelled our forebears from the Novgorod Kontor!" Albrecht paused for a moment, some of the redness leaving his face. "We must stall the Soviet menace until our allies can mobilize. Retake Stockholm! That's an executive order."
"Yes Mein Statthalter."

The fleet ventured to Skaggerak, after the admiral decided that 'Sound Toll' was just badly written name of Denmark's straits.

The orders were clear - retake Southern Sweden! The armies of the Hanse swiftly ventured into the region and utterly crushed the socialist force that was apparently not prepared for such swift and furious retaliation. The heaviest fighting were done in the Stockholm and its harbors, leading these to ruination.

Quote from: Combat #1 in South Sweden

Hanseatic Republik (+0) vs USSR (+3):
6 vs 2+3
USSR Army destroyed!
Port razed!

Then, construction and demolition orders came to engineers, who simply had not enough manpower to fulfill all orders in one month. Thusly, railroads in North Sweden were demolished and forts in North Finland deconstructed, while Copenhagen managed to furnish its Port.

With old Capital retaken, the government was able to move behind the still standing fortifications of South Sweden and reassure the survival of the Republic.

The pasts month's events had startled the prussian wehrmacht. The russians attacking one of their allies, and the swedes brutally pushing the russians out of stockholm with an unheard-of brutality done to the soviet infantry.

Of course, the affairs of distant nations were far less pressing than the military build-up of the HRE. Between the precarious position they had, and the fact the HRE would only ever get stronger now that the USSR had gone off the rails meant that drastic actions had to be committed to ensure the survival of prussia.

The rise of the Italians had been opportunistic to the prussian leaders. sensing the opportunity, they sent a few envoys to propose a pact between the two nations.

De-construct the railroad at 18 and 44.
Build fortifications at 43 and 45

Honour the Hanseatic republik's call to arms, breaking all treaties with the USSR and summarily declaring war upon the treacherous socialists.

Offer a formal alliance to the British Empire

The Prussian commanders were baffled by the orders. 'First move into Silesia and then try to get all the way to Germany? Das ich not possible!' And it wasn't.

In the end, only two out of four armies managed to attack the HRE positions in Northern Germany. The fighting was tense and bloody, but ultimately the Imperial forces prevailed.

Then, the western borders were fortified while railroads were dismantled in the eastern Prussia to prevent a fast retaliatory strikes.

(http://i.imgur.com/AmcHFnR.png)

Holy Roman Empire:

Shock have passed and Emperor Leopold IV was out of bed. Together with his generals, he attempted to squish multiple problems at once.

First and foremost, two batallions were to attack Turin and Venice, to wrestle them from League's hands and establish a foothold in Italy. Unfortunately, the mountainous terrain plus heavily fortified perimeter became graveyard for many Imperial soldiers.

Quote from: Combat #1 in Turin

Holy Roman Empire (-1) vs Mediterranean League (+2):
4-1 vs 5+2
Imperial army destroyed!

Quote from: Combat #1 in Venice

Holy Roman Empire (-1) vs Mediterranean League (+2):
4-1 vs 6+2
Imperial army destroyed!

Then, armies reinforced the Northern Germany to hopefully deter further Prussian assault. However, full retaliation and conquest of the invading nation was ordered. Eastern European units entered Lithuania without a shot fired, but it was very obvious to their commanders that next time there will be a battle, possibly one impossible to conduct and win.

Spanish troops have been moved to Valencia, where a harbor has been constructed.

Emperor has ordered for the railroad line to be extended into Ukraine, as the Crimean forces have been recalled to aid the Empire against Prussia and Mediterranean League.

By the end of the week, the harbor and railroad extension were flagged as completed.

Holy Roman Empire would like to ask its neighbour and ally Hungary if they could help deal with either Prussia or Mediterranean League in some way.

Mediterranean League:

Armies were recalled from south and west of the Italian Peninsula to help establish a military HQ near Venice.

Then, entire two armies were sent across the water to assault and retake Sicily... and the Mediterranean soldiers failed spectacularly!

It was a difficult decision, to stand by the fraternity of revolutionary nations or to stand by their word of honor, but ultimately, the decision could only ever have gone one way. Perfidy was the tool of the reactionary forces that surrounded them, after all. The Republic of France was determined to show that their revolution was that of a better way, and so, with heavy hearts, they entered into war against the Soviet Union. So, too, they entered into war against the HRE, to bring an end to the reactionary regime once and for all.

France honors the request of the Hanseatic League, breaking all relations with and declaring war on the USSR.

In the discussion room, Amelia spoke with her Defence Minister on foreign affairs.
"I have to inquire of your situational awareness, ma'am. You do see how this could be perceived in the public eye, right?"
"I will counter any presumption with the note of a mediator--we cannot be truly sure of the intent of the USSR, though we are obliged to aid the Hanseatic Republik; his speech merely makes this more apparent."
"Our very words could be recorded now under foreign intelligence. Why, of all places, do you pick a public area, with wooden furnishings and all?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
"In the name of national security-"
"That was rhetorical. I understand how these things occur and the depth of how it should be, but maybe the simplest idea should be taken first: I don't mind being eavesdropped. And, I wanted to show this."
She presents a letter bearing the mark of the USSR.
"Read it."
The Defence Minister opened it and mumbled a few, choice keywords from the reading.
"Evil...pointless...utopia?"

To my esteemed comrade, █████████████████,

It has been brought to my attention, the debate which even now rages in the halls of your noble parliament. No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen and women who speak of their belief in peace, in their desire of an alliance with the Prussians and the Hansa to restore the status quo of Europe. I should hope that you do not find it disrespectful of me if, entertaining opinions very opposite to theirs and living an entire continent apart, I set forth my opinions freely as the elected ruler of a free people. This is no time for ceremony. The question before your people now is of awful moment to your country, and to the entire world. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; it is not a matter of who began the war, but whether freeing a people from their imprisonment is worth the chaos.

It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know the reason for the Hansa to arm and fortify their borders, for Prussian and French alike to do the same lest it was to conquer the free peoples of the world, to enslave more than they already have. I wish to know why the dictatorships of Europe and the false, capitalist democracy of Scandinavia prepare their armies of oppressors lest it was to end the grand freedom and equality of our socialist experiment, or divide the autonomous territories of the Holy Roman Empire--by the law, the land of a dangerous autocrat, but in truth no less free than you or I--amongst themselves, conscripting their people for war and enslaving them in their factories.

I know of the lies whispered by the Hansa, the pleas for a false-peace by the Prussians. I understand how they must tempt you and brothers and sisters amongst the British people. Trust them not; their words are but a snare to trap your feet. Do not suffer to be betrayed with a honeyed kiss. Ask yourselves how well these petitions comport with their war-like preparations which have darkened the lands of Europe in the past months. Were fleets and armies necessary for a work of love and order? No. Theirs were but tools of subjugation, the weapons of kings and dictators, meant to bring the whole of the world under their heel. I would ask your people, what purpose was it for them to build their armies if not to subdue our own? Had they any enemies in this part of the world, amongst the monarchs and dictators of the continent, save the free people of the Socialist Republic? Any enemies, but the encouragement to rise against oppression, to free themselves from the shackles of capitalism and join their fellow workers in egalitarian utopia?

No.

Could our people have resorted to negotiations, to requests to remove their troops from our borders? Let us not deceive ourselves, my comrade. Even if they had heeded our requests, they would only return to oppressing their people with greater fervor to extract more of their beloved wealth from the already breaking backs of their workers. Or they would do as Prussia has proven they planned all along, seizing the territories of a once fair land, born from the ancient republic of Rome to which we all owe much. And in the likely cases where they had ignored us? We would have been unprepared for their powerful assault, for their seizing of our home, the burning of our towns, the enslavement of our people. In vain, perhaps, we may hope we would have fought them off in time, and that in our victory we could seek reconciliation. But there was never any room for hope, and with the actions of Prussia that has become clear.

If the people of the USSR wish and the people of the world wish to be free, they must preserve those rights for which they have fought for so long. For too long, we had been enslaved, under steppe tyrant, under the autocracy of the czars. They can not abandon the struggle for which they had so long engaged under their monstrous tormentors, leaving them free to ravage the land. No, the only option left was to fight. The only option left to all the free people of the world was to fight, for you and us alike!

They tell us that our actions in attacking the Hansa are evil, that in freeing the people they imprisoned under the system of the bourgeoisie we are in the wrong. They tell us, too, that we are weak, that the armies of Prussia and the Hanseatic Capitalists combined will crush us. Perhaps they are correct. The workers of Russia stand alone against the might of the autocrats of Europe, fighting for the liberation of all. But if the free peoples of the world were to unite, all would change. If the people of Britain and the people of the Soviet Republic were to join their forces and push back the black tide of the capitalist oppressors, the whole of the world could be formed into a grand democracy the likes of which we have never known! All the free peoples of the world, in all their millions, armed with the strength of their cause and the power of their arms are invincible to any force our enemies can send against us!

It is pointless, then, to continue the discussion. Men may cry for peace, but there will be no peace, so long as the cruel autocrats of our world remain in power. The war for our Earth's freedom is begun! The next wind that blows from the north will bring the crash of thundering arms, the cry of the proletariat and the democrat rising against their oppressors and throwing off their chains! The people of the USSR, the brethren of the British, already stand in the field to fight for their liberation! So I ask your people, why do you stand there idle? What do they want? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? For they will come to you, too, in the end. The autocrats will not rest until all free men are chained once more, and yours are no exception no matter how much they may wish.

As for my own people, there is but one path we are willing to take, and but one choice after that we are going to make. The death of the Russian people, or the liberty of the world.

"The USSR's intent? They see the Hanseatic as...something lesser? You believe they're an extremist faction?"
"Rather misguided--who could say. This is what I'm pointing at. The uncertainty of the intent, and as to the extend of how far this intent is valid. For the moment, we shall render aid to everyone present. I am unsure who exactly sent this as it was unsigned, though they are a charismatic group, or daresay the work of one person."
"True, the USSR did rise from...a splintered past. This must be validated and not taken at face value."
"Already two steps ahead, dear."

The maneuvers of War was left in the War Minister's hands, obviously. Something detached and yet attached to the state's affairs.[/i]

DECLARE WAR ON THE HRE.
> Cast off the fleet at #2 to the N. Atlantic.
> Sailing fleet at the N. Atlantic, move to the Mid-Atlantic.
> Create a fleet at #2
> 1 army from #3 attack #77

Britain suggests France build a railroad at #53. :P They get tea in return (and they send information that post-attack of a province, fortifications can me constructed at the cost of 1 labor if needed at the area recently taken)

British joined the HRE hate-club and even managed to strike into its rear; unprotected african coast. Then, an university was hastily created while the motherland was reinforced by fortifications.

Meanwhile, in the Scandinavia, one army was disbanded as starvation, and things stemming from it, wreak havoc amongst the troops.

Outside of the Bundeshaus, downtown Stockholm, a large crowd is gathered in front of a podium. Many politicians, businessmen, and citizens of importance are present. Though some are skinnier than they might have been before the war, these are the privileged, wealthy, and powerful. The nervous whispering comes to a halt as Statthalter Albrecht von Hambourg comes out of the Bundeshaus and strides towards the podium.

Dear Citizens! I know that the war has been vicious and deadly. Our armed forces have fought valiantly. Many of our friends and family have already given their lives so that the Republik may once again know peace. We all may rest easier knowing that after today, their dreams have been realized. We shall be at peace!

The crowd is ecstatic, shouting and cheering in joy. After a short pause, Albrecht holds up his hand and the crowd quiets itself.

Sometimes, ones most despised enemy can prove to be ones most trusted ally. We have negotiated peace with the Soviet High Command. I now introduce their representative to you, Kommisar Jurgen Nevavich. A tall, imposing man comes into view. He has a thick but well trimmed beard and is wearing the military uniform of the Red Army, the medals he wear indicate a high rank among the Soviet leadership.

Kommisar Nevavich is here to help oversee our transition away from the corrupt systems that we have perpetuated. The district of Schleswig-Holstein shall be placed as a protectorate of the Soviet Union until such a time when we have proven ourselves to be a trustworthy and valuable asset of the Revolution. We must all embrace the Worker's Revolution and cast down all autocracies! However, we need not only lofty ideals, but bold action! As such, The Hanseatic Republik of Schleswig-Holstein and the Scandinavian Territories is no more!

We are now the Soviet Republik of The Hansa!

Previously unnoticed banners unfurl along the Bundeshaus, much to the horror of the crowd present:
(http://www.imgur.com/PWSI7kj.png)

The crowd momentarily shocked, bursts into an uproar. "Is this a joke?" "Have you gone mad?"

Silence! Silence! I know that you may have your reservations and concerns, but know that all will rectified under our new, egalitarian policies. Please go with the representatives to help distribute your possessions to the workers.

At this bidding, the crowd once again became aware of their surroundings. Looking around, they see soldiers standing in the approaching roads, shoulder-to-shoulder. Each of them is wearing a red armband and holds a carbine with their bayonets fixed.

Glory to the Revolution! Glory to the Republik!

The mood was bright as the sun in Moscow. Patriotic songs rose high and strong as the workers spilled into the streets, waving the flag of their motherland, the flag of their glorious socialist republic. Through Red Square the people's army marched, the sound of their triumphant footfalls enough to set the pillars of the world to shaking.

A cheer went up in the heart of the republic as a medal was pinned to a soldier's chest, a reward for his valor in leading the charge against the exploitative forces which once held sway in Scandinavia. Speeches were given by the elected leaders of the proletariat, praising the citizens of the USSR and their allies throughout the world for once more seeing a nation liberated from the capitalist tyrants enslaving those who should have been their brothers. Parades were staged, dances were held, and the exuberance of their victory festival went untempered save by the knowledge that there was still so much work to be done.

My comrades! The Chairman called to his fellows, and they called back with revolutionary fervor. Today we have triumphed over the evils of the bourgeoisie, setting a people free as we once freed ourselves. Today we welcome the Soviet Republik of the Hansa as brothers in the Revolution, as friends in our tireless work for equality! With them at our side, the people of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics shall pave the way to liberation and unity for all the workers of the world!

Accept the Hansa's offer of Alliance and territory.

As Hanse changed to socialism, the supplies for its armies dwindled. Soon, there will be starving soldiers stationed overseas. Engineers managed to create a new port in Stockholm but didn't had time to tear down the fortifications.

Holy Roman Empire would ask USSR and Hungary to officially ratify the Treaty of Frankfurt, which states that:

1. HRE adds Trade treaties to current treaties with Hungary and USSR
2. Southern Finland, Estonia and Latvia are ceded to USSR (Southern Finland next month, after Imperial army leave the province).
3. Yugoslavia and Crimea are ceded to Hungary (both next month, after Imperial armies leave these provinces).
4. Hungary and USSR immediatelly declare war on HRE enemies, that is British Empire, Republic of France, Prussia and Mediterranean League.

In preparation for switch-over, soldiers in Southern Finland embarked on newly constructed RKS Frankfurt and few smaller vessels of the fleet, ready to set sail soon.

Then, German territories, as well as newly-acquired Aquitaine, were fortified, using supplies from allied traders.

And finally, promised lands went to USSR and Hungary.

Mediterranean League:

League armies had to give up on conquest of Sicily and prepare for some meager defense of their mainlands. Rome was fortified and an academy was built in Neapol.

//Sorry Culise I only accept one-by-one turn order. Feel free to quote your orders after this post!

The Byzantines prepared to move their offensive toward League's lands west as fleets were created and the one finished last month sailed into Aegean, its sailors enjoying the sights of thousands of islands.

A new military HQ was constructed, while an academy and railroad extensions deeper into Asia Minor promised economical progress.

Message relays were constructed all along the empire--business and the manner of life was as the usual; the regular gap between the aristocracy and the commoner was still evident, but not tangibly as it was emotionally and in belief. The country underwent an overhaul, and the many letters and mail moving by the streets and houses brought word of how the armies were doing from the front--the notion of fair treatment was a very efficient one, it universally seemed. The support for the leadership was going well, and the ministers overseeing the Empire were productive in their capacity.

That was, until correspondence letters were exchanged between the USSR and other nations and the invitation of the 3rd Army of the Hanseatic Republik into British soil. First-hand, the people could infer the stories from the front judging by their condition (and the notion of an open-city in case of any trouble bordering the North Sea coastlines).

Naval:
> Fleet stationed at #2, cast off to the North Atlantic
> Fleet at the North Atlantic, move to the Mid Atlantic
> Fleet at the North Sea, head to the {English?} Channel

Army:
> 1 army from #3; transport onto #77
> 1 army at #5; transport and attack #75
> Army at #54, reinforce #53

Construction//PI:
> Create a Military HQ at #77
> Create 1 Fleet from the army at #2
> Create a Fortification at #75
> Create an Academy at #4

Issue a declaration of peace to the USSR, along with treaty propositions of either Research or Trade to their decided benefit, as well as a future promise of tech {Diesel Fuel} if they agree to the peace treaty (and possible alliance), and go through with it.

The same promise of tech goes to the Hanseatic...Soviet Republik, Prussia and France as a gesture of appreciation towards the maintained alliance.

((The British Empire is amused that in the Diplomacy chart, they are both at war with and at alliance with the USSR. Conspiracy theories about the USSR's attacks on the Hanseatic Republik revolving around an extremist faction rather than political intent circulate among the masses.))

The USSR is willing to accept a ceasefire and research agreement, though not the trade agreement, but warns that any attempt to provide technology to its enemies will receive a strongly negative response. As such, it requests that Iceland territory be given into the control of the USSR, to be returned to Britain only if they deliver the new technology exclusively to the USSR.

British Empire continued to seize and reinforce Spanish possessions of Holy Roman Empire.

Meanwhile, Hanseatic army stationed in England starved to death, unable to thrive on haggis.

A bustle of commotion occurs at the receiving military HQ generally going along the lines of 'we were at war?'

The British Empire sends a response after assessing the USSR's current state in a formal letter.

A fault in negotiation occurs which ends up with the British Empire rescinding all proposed {and ultimately FREE} Diesel Fuel blueprints.

Then requesting a Research Treaty and Peace. And a formal inquiry on whom the USSR dubs as "enemies".

Diplomacy
Hanseatic Republik:
War: USSR
Peace: all, except USSR

Excerpt from Statthalter Von Hambourg's address to the European Heads of State:
...The people of the newly founded Socialist Republik of the Hansa, rejoice in our reborn country! Like any family, we may have had our differences with our Soviet brothers and sister, but our similarities are far greater than our differences. We, the SRH, have created lasting peaceful resolutions with the Soviets, and this shows all that conflicts can also be resolved diplomatically. We reciprocate the British Empire's gestures of goodwill, and express our desires for a return to peace and stability within Northern Europe.

Diplomacy:
Issue Formal Declaration of Peace with the USSR
Accept Soviet trade for #51 (Denmark)
Offer a Research Treaty to the USSR

Movement:
Create Fleet in Baltic Sea from #7 (Southern Sweden)
Dock Fleet in the North Sea to #7 (Southern Sweden)

Holy Roman Empire would ask French Republic and British Empire to ratify the Treaty of Valencia, which grants Northern African territories plus Portugal to the British, and remainder of Iberia to the French, in exchange for peace treaty. Valencia itself will be passed over when the Imperial troops will be evacuated, via sea, in few months.

The British Empire says yes, too, and a silly faction of them sends France a succinctly silly letter.
They also append a request for Peace to the treaty, given how it wasn't obviously stated, despite the context.

The Byzantine Empire note that France and Britain were given 5 and 4 provinces for attacking the HRE, and that the USSR was granted three for support that never materialized. The Byzantine Empire actually fought the HRE's enemies, and is being granted a single province for its effort? We gladly take the Northern Caucasus, but we wonder if attacking the HRE would not be in our best interest, since the Emperor seems to offer so much to that that betray him...
