Italy Wakes to War!!!

King not amused say insiders

This morning King Case was shocked to learn that Britain, France and Germany are on the brink of war.
In a meeting held during his breakfast the King berated the British ambassador for his government's failure to consult with the Allied nations before issueing such a blunt ultimatium to Germany. In particluar, the King questioned how a nation who recently issued a statement saying they wouldn't support other members of the Entente in the event that they attacked Germany can now threaten to commit the Alliance to a war with Germany.

German ambassador consulted

Following his breakfast, King Case sumoned the German ambassador to the palace. The King expressed the desire that war could be averted through negotiations between France, Britain and Germany.
The King informaed the German ambassador that despite his personal disaproval of the British actions, Italy remains a commited member of the Entente, and will fully comply with decisions made, and will fight alongside her allies should war break out over this issue.

King Case suggested to the German ambassador that perhaps a commitment not to base warships in the Netherlands and not to build rail links between Dutch and German cities could avert a regrettable war.

Military on alert

In light of recent developments, all leave in the Royal Italian armed forces has been canceled. Reservists have been notified to prepare for mobalisation at very short notice.

NEWS FLASH - NETHERLANDS CRISIS
The French government met in emergency session this morning, and have echoed Italy's statements: 'France is a loyal member of the Entente and will abide by any decisions come to by the majority of it's members.'

However, French leadership has also pointed out that the Entente is primarily a defensive pact, designed to protect members who are attacked by other nations. Thus the other Entente members are not obliged to declare war on Germany, as in this instance Britain are the ultimatum-givers and aggressors.

Premier Winterfritz expressed his disapproval over the lack of British consultation with the French prior to the ultimatum delivery. He has called for a conference of Entente diplomats in order to decide the alliance's stance on this issue. 'We would prefer to remain neutral if war broke out, and hope conflict may still be avoided altogether. But France is prepared to fight should that be the majority decision of her allies,' he announced to Cabinet today.

The British Empire Disgusted
The King has called his Allies weaklings.. as his voice echoed in the House of Commons today... he told of Germany actually being strong and standing up for ones self, all others bid and swabbled... he has put in charge of the Government and all features of it, Sean Richards, a New Zealander, from the New Zealand Wars.

'The King has called his Allies weaklings..
Mr Richards has thanked Italy in person today.. arriving in Rome to see Case.. he thanks them for standing next to her allies.. unlike France...'

The French government stated that she would join in the war if the the alliance called for it, but that she privately has no desire for war with Germany, because we are a peace-loving and friendly nation. How is this not standing next to her allies?

French ministers today called on the English to retract their hurtful and slanderous comments, saying that in a time of crisis, allies should come together, not resort to name-calling.

Premier Winterfritz still has hope that the issues disputed can be resolved by negotiation, not force.

BTW Soundwave, some credit for my map woulda been nice

Winterfritz's MAP isnt it GOOD!!!!!

Happy? LOL!



The The Times

Mr Richards states "we apolygize to the France and the French people but in our hour of need, we hope you will not back down, we are not the agressors in anyway... we did not commit the Rape of Innocennts, the Germans did"


Rumours of Revolution Dismiss by Richards

King Issues Statement

King Case wishes to clarify his position on the developing crisis:
The Italian government disapproves of Britains unilateral actions, and belives that German actions, while regretable and agressive, are not sufficant grounds for war.

The King also explained his belief that Britains actions could drag Europe into war on the grounds that should the Germans mount an invasion or major raid into British territory then the Entente treaties will be automatically activated.
The King has apologised for his earlier incomplete statement, and blamed its omissions on him not having had his morning coffee

Cabinet Considers British Proposal for a Closer Alliance

After due consideration, Mr Richard's proposal for a offencive alliance was rejected today. King Case said that he remains strongly commited to the current defencive alliance, but does not believe there is any need to enter into further agreements at present.

If Britain chooses to declare war on Germany in order to liberate The Netherlands then the Italian government wishes them well, but will not enter into the war unless Germany comits further acts of agression and widens the conflict.
The Italian armed forces have been issued with instructions to observe the armed forces of both Britain and Germany, but not to hinder their actions in any way.

Foreign Minister Comments on Anglo-French Dispute

In an informal press conference held today, the Italian Foreign Minister has urged Britain to show France more respect. The Minister said that the British must remember that France currently has the elite of her armies facing the Germans in Belgium and along the German border, and "if this dosn't constitute effective support, then I don't know what does".

French Government praises Italian statements
Upon hearing the Italian views on the Netherlands situation, Winterfritz announced to the Chamber of Deputies 'Cool heads have prevailed in Italy, to the benefit of all Europe.'

The government today affirmed their intentions to remain neutral in the coming conflict between Germany and Britain, unless the defensive terms of the Entente are triggered.

Winterfritz expressed his pleasure that France and Italy see eye to eye on this matter, and is most grateful for Italian support. 'Britain is an island nation, her home made secure by sea and a powerful navy,' he said to the Chamber of Deputies today. 'Perhaps this is why they cannot understand the reluctance of their Continental allies to join them in war against the Second Reich. But they should remember that the French and Italian homelands border on Germany itself. Each different member of our alliance has different goals and problems, and we ask that the British be more considerate of French needs in future.' However, Winterfritz has gratefully accepted the British apology and the French people wish the British king a speedy recovery from his stroke.

The French Foreign Ministry would also desire clarification from other European powers as to their stance on the Anglo-German war. While France does not believe any Entente members will join, she is curious as to Spanish and Ottoman alignment in the upcoming conflict.

[The ANZAC]

From the Desk of the Foreign Minister: The Russian Empire would like Germany to remove its troops from the Netherlands. In invading the Netherlands without consent from other nations, Germany has upset the balance of power in the region and threatens to destabilize the surrounding region. Russia does not acknowledge the legitimacy of the German puppet government in the Netherlands.

Moscow Courier: Today, the Russian government is looking at how to improve its economic stance and make it stronger than it already is. Russia is looking to foreign help to start up and then later build up on its own.

[Dr. Nick]

Chancellor von Karreras condemns British aggression against Germany and urges "sense and cold thought" to the British Prime Minister.

A war between Britain and Germany could be devastating for both nations, acting to the detriment of both in these situations. It is discouraged that Britain should seem to seek this path.
