Letters from Istanbul

Letter to the Kaiser

In a short missive sent to the German Kaiser, the Grand Vizier Cyrion had to clarify the Sultan's position regarding the events unfolding around Scandinavia:

"Though the Second Reich has been as a big brother for us for many long years, we can only deplore your stubbornness in these matters! We are not asking that you leave the swedish cities to be occupied by other nations, but at least that you would be willing to discuss the fate of the scandinavians before doing anything rash that would throw Europe into war...

So we have to agree with our spanish brothers and renounce our Alliance with you, as we don't want to be caught in a war between the British Empire and the Second Reich!

Nonetheless, the good done to us in the last century hasn't been forgotten and we wish to remain your friends! Your merchants will always be welcomed in our country, as we hope ours will be in yours..."


Letter to the King Soundwave

In another, rather more exuberant, letter, the Grand Vizier thanked profusely the Great King Soundwave for all the help His enlightened governement has been offering to the Ottoman Empire and wished Him a peaceful retirement. According to some sources, Judges and Professors educated in England are already in transit to Istanbul were their skills are greatly needed! Be cautious, o criminals and dunces, because your time is nearly over...

Moreover, the british specialists already in the country have taught the peasants new ways of cultivating to get better crops, while the finance advisers were shown how to get return on money...


Letter to the Foreign Office

Another letter was sent to the British Foreign Secretary to advise him to hire a new translator, as the last letter sent to the Ottoman Empire sounded a bit too much like a threat, wich was undoubtedly not necessary, and probably unintentional...


Letter to the Czar

Regarding the Russian fleet, the Grand Vizier thanked the Czar for His comprehension and assured Him that His ships would be welcome! Having the support of the Russian and the British on the Istanbul Treaty is the best way to securize the straits...


Letter to Premier Winterfritz

The last letter was sent to Premier Winterfritz of France to congratulate him for his coolness in these difficult times! If all the Rulers were as serene as the Premier of France, it would be much easier to maintain Peace in Europe...

Taranto welcomes British Squadron

Several ships of the Royal Navy's new Adriatic Station today visited Taranto, headquaters of the Italian 2nd Fleet. Townspeople flocked to the waterfront to see the mightly British fleet anchored in the harbour, and to meet the noble and brave British sailors.


The well named HMS Majestic in Taranto harbour

During ceremonies to welcome the fleet, townspeople cheered Taranto's mayor when he anounced that an even bigger British squadron was currently in the central Adriatic for exercises with the Italian navy.

Following the celebrations, Taranto police had to disperse a large crowd from outside the city's German consulate. Aparently the crowd had gathered to mock the Germans for their nations military weakness.

During a routine audit, Foreign Office officals discovered that Italy had mistakenly been set as allied with Germany. This mistake has now been corrected, and the clerk responcible has been fired.

The Italian government wishes to apologise for any missunderstandings which have arisen from this affair.

Le Monde

Grand Vizier applauded by French government
Upon the reception and reading of the Ottoman Sultan's letter in Paris, the Chamber of Deputies broke into spontaneous applause. Premier Winterfritz spoke for all the ministers present when he said 'We are most pleased and humbled by the Ottoman government's glowing compliments.'

He went on to add that the Third Republic most warmly extends the hand of friendship to their brothers the Ottomans. Although France is not one of the nations presently providing Turkey with concrete aid, he hoped that this generous communication heralded a future filled with 'co-operation and prosperity between our two peoples.'

Moroccan campaign continues
Meanwhile, in French North Africa, the Grand Armee's campaign to subdue the savage Berbers of Fez continues. An artillery division launched a successful assault on the city this month, and it is expected to fall quite soon.

King Case going on holiday

King Case today announced that he was taking a long holiday on royal estates in Somaliland. His ministers approved of his plan, saying that after the recent gamut of diplomatic crises which he had handled so well, King Case I had earned and deserved the rest.

To run Italian affairs while he was gone, he appointed a deputy named Wintero de Fritzi as Prime Minister. The new Prime Minister has been left detailed instructions of what needs to be done, and the government is confident that the Italian Empire is safe in his hands.
