Austria Questions Miltary Movements

The President asked today about the movements of Miltary Units of French and Italian Forces on the Border with Austria, He hopes that this is a misunderstanding... if not... Austria, will build arms after her neutrality is broken!

The French ambassador has no idea what the Austrians are talking about. France has no troops anywhere near the new country.

Such a new and fragile actor on the great stage of Europe would do well to begin its career quietly, instead of throwing about threats to the established great powers.

Government collapses
Unsettled by rioting in the newly acquired German provinces, Labour MPs ave joined with disgruntled Conservatives and a few maverick Liberals in a successful no-confidence vote against the government. The German riots, starting in Bremen, also sparked opportunistic rioting in the continental areas, as well as protests in northern England.
PM Kirk, confident of continued support in the upcoming elections, but also aware of criticisms, deflected the blame to his predecessor, President Richards for not "vanquishing the fires of German discontent," and promised a decentralization of the government if the Libs are brought back into government. Kirk promised to give the German territories large amounts of autonomy in their domestic affairs, following their pacification,and made a suprise announcement that he'd seek to do the same for Ireland, Scotland, Wales, as well as the Norwegian, Danish and Low Lands territories.
This policy of decentralisation will certainly fuel Kirk's reelection chances in Scotland and Ireland, and he can certainly count on support from the metropolitan areas, making the looming election a mere formality at best. Nevertheless, anarchists and socialists are expected to continue stirring up trouble until the full legitimacy of the government can be reestablished.

Britain Takes Position on Austrian Issue
Provisional PM Kirk announced today support for the Defence Clause of the Treaty of Berlin. While he noted that apparently the German translation had major differences from the versions of the Great Powers, he said that if each nation pledged defence to Austria it would prevent anyone from taking advantage of her, and thus preserve continental peace. While it hasn't taken any action yet, and awaits responces from the other powers, Britain wishes to join in on this agreement with the other nations, saying it will be a preventative measure against any hegemon on the continent.

King Reacts to Austrian Comments

King Case today summoned the Austrian ambassador for a discussion of the Austrian government's recent statements, and the following comment in particular:

quote: The President asked today about the movements of Miltary Units of French and Italian Forces on the Border with Austria, He hopes that this is a misunderstanding... if not... Austria, will build arms after her neutrality is broken!

During what was described by insiders as a 'civil but icy chat', the King explained to the ambassador that as a sovereign nation Italy has the right to defend her borders. The King stated that the troop movements which have alarmed the Austrian president are merely the Italian Army establishing border posts in order to stop smuggling.

The King warned the Ambassador that Italy takes the conditions of the Austro-Italian peace treaty seriously, and will react with "sudden and overwhelming force" should the government ever suspect that Austria is building warships at Split.

In addition the King informed the Ambassador that he had never made any commitment to guard Austrian neutrality against third party aggressors.

New Military Arrangements Announced

As part of the move to placate the Austrians, the Ministry of Defence has announced the arrangements for garrisoning the new Adriatic territories. They are as follows:

*XI Mountain Corps, made up of elite troops supported by artillery,
will defend Trieste and Trento.
*IV Cavalry Corps will protect Firume
*VIII Cavalry Corps will protect Tirane
*The elite III Amphibious Corps will be based on the Italian West Coast, and will be maintained at maximum readiness.

In addition, the 1st Fleet will maintain a squadron off Split at all times.

Victory in Rumania!!

Just today, the Russian army under the command of T.I. Anzakov, the son of the Tsar, marched into Bucharest and liberated the King from the Communist rebels. All were very thankful and finally peace has been restored to the Balkans.

A New Germany from the Ashes

Russian officials have finally now been to see the newly annexed areas of Prussia. However, there is mass disorder and civil unrest. Under closer inspection, it was seen that all churches and cathedrals had been destroyed, against what was unanimously agreed at Berlin Troops are in place to keep order

Austria Pays Reperations

In a meeting held today at Trieste, the Austrian government has formally transfered reperations money to Italy. The Italian government thanks the Austrians for their prompt and efficant payment.

Industrialisation Continues

The industrial development of Italy continues to gain pace. In the last month no fewer then two steel worked have been opened. This frantic pace seems likely to continue, with the government announcing that the Austrian reperation money will be invested in new industrial works.

Defence Minister's Comments Cause a Stir

Speaking at a victory dinner in Turin, the Defence Minister has made comments which have caused debate throughout Italy. After thanking the citizens of Turin for providing such stout soldiers as the city's own 4th Mountain Division, the Minister said "while their conquest of Trieste was a great achievement, it is a tragedy that they were denied the oportunity to crush the Prussian's degenerate Austrian lap dogs".

When asked for his views on the minister's comments, King Case said that they were "ill considered and rude, but reflect a viewpoint which many Italians share".
It is uncertain wether the King has asked the Defence Minister to apologise.

Red Faces in the Navy as Ship Runs Aground

The Italian 1st Fleet has had to issue an apology to the Austrian Government. During a training cruise the Battleship Sicilia ran aground near Split. It is believed that the ship was being piloted by a trainee sailor at the time. The Sicilia is currently being assisted by the armoured cruiser Guiseppe Garibaldi

The strenghtening rumors of War in Austria are beginning to worry the Sultan!

His Magnificence Abd el-Hamid II would like to know what was agreed upon in the Berlin Treaty, regarding the Austrian armies, navy, and about the guarantees about it's security!!

The Ottoman Foreign Secretary assured Grand Vizier Cyrion that if Austria was not allowed to ally with anybody, it was made up for it by the fact that all the ex-Entente powers had agreed to turn upon the one who would be attacking them.

But, somehow, this information seems rather doubtful now, so the Secretary has been impaled and the Sultan is now asking His fellow Rulers what the situation really is...

Breakthrough in Spain
Exciting new developments have taken place during the Spanish winter. After extensive preperation, the French Second Army, based from Barcelona, drove into the interior on newly completed railroads. The garrison of Zaragoza was overwhelmed by the attack, and the city capitulated to the French peacekeepers after only a day of fighting. The next stop, according to General Leclerc of the Second Army, is Madrid, the heart of General AI's corrupt regime.

Mistake in Lorraine
As the Third Republic took possession of the lands allotted to them by the Berlin Treaties, a German conscript division, apparently left behind by the chaotic retreat of the Second Reich's armies, was discovered in Lorraine, midway between Stuttgart and Mulhouse.

This division refuses to budge, saying it will only answer to the Austrian authorities. The French government demands that said authorities disband the unit immediately, as it is causing large amounts of congestion and consternation in Lorraine.

Kirk's Plan Allays Worst of Rioting

The great majority of riots in the European Empire ceased upon the announcement of the details of Provisional PM Kirk's Decentralisation Plan. The continental masses immediately began organising more local governments, and even made plans for elections, with many continental parties holding meetings with corresponding British parties, looking to align themselves and in some cases, merge.
All was not calm everywhere though. There were still reports of some violence in medium sized German cities, as well as by rabblerousers in Ireland. Downing Street issued a statement blaming the continued violence on perpetual dissidents, and those who had nothing better to do than destroy property and undermine common values.

Advancement in Spain
Following a joint operation, the Navy and War Ministries announced the capture of Malaga today. Following massive shore bombardment, the under nourrished, and undertrained garrison defending the city relented, thus setting the stage for the final assault to capture the entirity of Andalusia.

Declaration of War and Invasion of Austria

The Russian Empire has been too lax and now has corrected this. An invasion of Austria has been launched and all of its heart is under Russian control.

Now first we need an explanation for this agression:

Austria Broke the Treaty of Berlin!

1- Austria while withdrawing from Germany destroyed all the temples/cathedrals in an attempt to hamper the Entente's re-development of the area. In the end it caused the collapse of government in London if those German cities had had their happiness improvements, there would be no turmoil in the UK now.

2- Austria kept the German Army In doing so it broke a fundamental clause of our treaty and jeopardized European peace. Now Austria might claim that it was acting in self defense, but they had to disband the army before Italy and France made threatening gestures, so she knowingly violated the treaty.


With that Russia issues a declaration of war and an immediate surrenderance of arms by the Austria government.

Vatican Confirms Reperations Money Looted

Following the Russian revelation of the Austrian's desecration of churches, the Italian government consulted the Vatican over the money and items Austria had presented as reperations. The Vatican confirmed that many of the valuable items were in fact stolen from German churches.

This fact was further confirmed by the Italian treasuries records.
These records show that in November 1902 the remnants of Germany/Austro-Hungary had 33 gold in the treasury, yet despite the destruction of the nation, the Austrian treasury grew to 391 gold by the start of January 1902!

King Case was reported to have been 'sickened' when he learnt that his government had recieved dirty money.

Split taken

Following a bombardment by the recently repaired battleship Sicilia Italian marines landed and stormed the city of Split. Casualties were reported as light, and troops are pushing inland.

Combat off La Palma

France enraged at the broken peace
The Premier Winterfritz today took the podium in Paris, and announced that he was furious at the rash Italian and Russian invasion of Austria.

'Perhaps there has been a violation of the Berlin Treaties,' he said, 'and if so, I am just as angry with the Austrian authorities as the Tzar and King Case. However, such suspicions call for an investigation by all the nations involved, rather than an on-the-spur-of the-movement and ill-concieved invasion.'

The Premier labelled Russian and Italian aggression as a violation of the Berlin Treaties 'tenfold more serious than some demolished churches' and demanded that Russian and Italian units withdrew immediately.

His statements seem to echo the sentiments of all France; all over the country, the people were protesting the naked aggression of their former allies, and the Tsar was burnt in effigy in Nice.

PM Kirk Condemns Invasion of Austria, Demands Return to Prewar Borders

Prime Minister Kirk today was aghast at the news that Russia had broken the fragile peace in Europe by unilaterally going to war with decimated Austria rather than seek a peacable solution through arbitration with the other powers. Kirk declared that "any disputes Russia had with Austria should have been dealt with internationally rather than unilaterally, and proposed a peace conference involving all European powers to iron out the irregularities of the Berlin Treaty." Kirk also added that "Russia would be well to do to leave British domestic affairs out of its laundry list of hastily conceived excuses for aggressive action."
The Tsar was not alone in being condemned, Austria was as well for being a "group of upstarts trying to toy with the big boys and getting their hands too full," and for keeping offensive arms without firm support from ALL nations interested in the peace.
With the condition that prewar borders were reestablished, Kirk hinted that Britain may support more reparations on Austria in lieu of territory. But such an agreement would have to be agreed on multilaterally by all Continental powers. Kirk also offered to house peace talks in Malta, open to all nations, in which all issues would be resolved with finality, so as to preserve the peace.

Thanks, but no thanks says King

King Case has turned down the British government's offer of mediation. In a press statement just released the King says that "While the British offer is well indented, Mr Kirk must remember that the last time we recieved reperations from the Austrians they gave us dirty money stolen from the church. As a result, this time Italy will extract reperations from the soil and, if resistance continues, blood of the godless Austrian people!"

The Austrian Forces only have Conscripts not Artillary or Cavalry, if hellp from Britian or France does not come, help is lost!

Also no churches were sold when the Austrian 'turn' came round her taxes were 80% and i sold things like librarys out of my own cities, nothing was touched outta of the German Occupied Cities.

The Austrian Government does not understand why there is war if there is no reason... Italian/ Russians are as bad as the Huns, Blood Thristy, Uncivilized and Hungary for WAR!!
