Dearest Bertie,
 
What rush of blood has caused you to attack my peaceful forces enjoying their Autumn sunshine in  sunny Costa del Spain?
 
I am upset, surprised and disappointed at your Fall orders.
 
Upset: Because I have done everything in my power to go along with your master plan.
 
Surprised: That you have attacked me in SPA which I was going to swap with you for WAR shortly anyway.
 
Disappointed: At the unsophisticated level of your stab and the lack of faith and vision you have demonstrated to your erstwhile ally.
 
We could have been contenders....
 
Now to the situation as it stands...
 
I have no intention of fighting a war on two fronts with reduced forces.
 
All my energies, whatever the cost, will go into stopping you making further inroads into my territories.
This will inevitably mean a win for Islamist forces, and a defeat for the Christian values of the West.
There is still time to rectify the damage your hasty action has done..
Refrain from a build this season and I will know that all is not lost for both of us.. 
 
Build, and you will find Germany an implacable enemy, one that will prefer to favour his previous enemies over his previous allies.
 
Uncle, one last entreaty... let you not tear our great family apart.
Let us settle any disagreements over policy amicably and move forward together!
 
Your somewhat disappointed nephew,
 
Willie

Autumn press:


Willie,
Your gains against the Ottoman Empire in the Eastern front give us joy.  Our celebration will begin in earnest if you would consider reorganizing your force structure to better match our alliance.  If you will disband one of your navies, with the one remaining to be moored in Holland, we will withdraw our navies from the Baltic, the North Sea, and the English Channel.  Failure to do so will be unappreciated.
We regret we were unable to present these terms more peaceably.  You have our encouragement and support to maintain your dislodged army in either Gascony or Marseilles, and even to return it to Spain in the coming year.  We are now in position to accomplish in the Mediterranean what you have achieved in the region of Poland.  Together our countries can ensure Europe's future peace and prosperity.


Warmest Regards from Your Uncle and Friend,
Bertie
