DIPYCORP PRESS RELEASES
Dear Uncle Bertie,
Thank you for your withdrawal from Denmark, and your concerns
are noted re Kiel and Heligoland Bight...This situation will be
addressed forthwith.
In the short run we think it would be preferable if BAL was was
a DMZ zone, and that, in principal, you would in time reduce
your naval forces in the ENG/NTH/NOR/SWE/BOT area from four
units to three.
This would still allow you complete mastery of the Northern
Waters while alleviating any concerns we might have as our
glorious armies rush to halt the Islamic attack.
Hoping you can agree to this amicable division of territories, and
looking forward to seeing your magnificent ironclads in the
Mediterranean,
Willie
Dear Emperor Josef,
Notwithstanding your unfriendly noises and assistance of France
in the earlier years of this great conflict, we have always
believed Germany ans Austria~Hungary to be natural allies.
We can see that despite your earlier dalliance with the Turks,
that the love affair is truly over and wish to offer support to
you in your hour of need.
Please let us know what assistance we may lend you to fend off
the Turk, and whether, in return an Italian province or two
might be offered in return for our assistance.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Kaiser Wilhelm II
Austria -> Turkey: WTF? We work well together and now you
attack? I hope you will look twice before advancing further.
Austria -> Italy: Sorry dude. No time to cry though. Turkey
has stabbed and I need the centers.
Austria -> Germany: Was that message really from you? If so,
great. If not, then I hope you will move Boh back to Germany.
Dear Bertie,
In the matter of builds, that while although admitting to and
happy with the superiority of the Great British fleets,
nonetheless the German people feel it is necessary that a Fleet
be built in BER to protect the important home waters of the
Baltic Sea.
This fleet is for defensive purposes only, and I would ask you
Dear Uncle, to agree a bounce in BAL until further notice while
we pursue our joint objective of limiting the advance of the
eastern peril. As proof of our goodwill we will redeploy our A
KIE away from the Denmark border to allay any fears you may
have in this regard.
In the meantime our Army in Spain awaits its instructions as to
when to support you in removing the last vestige of French
power in Portugal. Presumably this will be in the Autumn of 1906.
The Turkish Fleets are massing in the Eastern Mediterranean. We urgently
require your fleets to make their presence felt in the Mediteranean.
Yours fondly,
Willie
Dear Kaiser,
Many gracious thanks for your offer of assistance. The
Turk has surprised me to suddenly be so aggressive. He
seems to believe that he has reached the invincible level
and feels free to stretch his muscle any which way he
chooses. It is truly unfortunate that Italy had to suffer
first, though. I feel deeply for his predicament,
expecially since he would have been a fine ally against the
Turk.
That being said, I can offer you Rome or Naples, or
possibly both, for any support or aggression you can
provide to push the Turk back to his corner of the board.
I am not 100% convinced that the Turk has fully turned on
me, or whether he just made a quick grab for Greece and
will now move on to the Ionian. I am not holding my breath
that that is the case, but I will give him the benefit of
the doubt before declaring outright WAR.
So, this season I will reposition my units to defend and prepare an
offense. If you'd like to join in, I welcome you with open arms. The
Russian front looks like prime territory for your newly built units. The
Italian coast may be the perfect vacation spot for your French armies.
And if the army in Boh would feel comfortable moving towards Galicia,
they would find much support being given from their Austrian fans.
Sincerely,
Emperor Mike
