Premier returns
Premier Winterfritz returned to France today after a three day vacation in Indo-China.

In a brief statement to the press as he disembarked from the liner Richelieu, he congratulated Sun Tzu I on ousting the dangerous General AI. 'We can only hope that this is the last we'll see of the General,' said Winterfritz. Then he announced that he was retiring to his chateau in the countryside to wait for an 'important package with a .net extension.' We can only guess at the meaning of this cryptic remark.

Does your post mean that you managed to play the saved game this time Sun Tzu? If so, well done

[SunTzu]

Well i haven't played the turn, but i found out why it was screwed up. I overlooked something, the all important Rules file! lol God i'm stupid

[SunTzu]

gonna play my turn now

[SunTzu]

The Spanish Navy which was running from the evil General AI, is now returning to Spanish waters to patrol.
The new Spanish government wishes to re-evaluate its positioning in world affairs, and is opening relations with all nations of europe and africa.
The military training that was implemented by General AI has now been changed to Domestic Affairs Works.
The new department, The Civil Works Association(CWA), is going to work on the roads, irrigation and mining of the Spanish Kingdom.
The Republic government is going to be implemented instead of Monarchy very soon.

King Sun Tzu I wishes PM Soundwave would remove the English navy that is off the coast of Cadiz, it is in violation of Spanish waters.

Spanish Fleet Retreats!
3rd Fleet Maintains Persuit

Following its aprehension by the Italian 3rd Fleet, the Spanish fleet which had been menacing Sardinia has turned tail and retreated towards Spain at maximum speed. Due to the Spaniards lead, even the 3rd Fleet's fastest ships have been unable to catch up with the Spanish fleet.
Italy will maintain a close watch on the Spanish fleet untill it reaches it's home ports, and the ships of the 3rd Fleet have been instructed to keep their guns loaded and maintain an attack formation.

In addition, the troop ship Genoa has docked at Sardinia and is unloading elite marines to strengthen the islands defences against future Spanish raids.

Ambassador to Spain meets with Spanish officals

In the meantime, the Italian ambassador in Madrid has demanded a formal apology from the Spanish government.
In addition, the ambassador has requested that Spain make an act of good faith in order to satisfy the Italian government that their fleet's actions where indeed acts of desperation caused by the sailors desire to flee the despot General AI.

The Italian government will be satisfied by either a cash payout to cover the 3rd Fleet's costs, or the Spanish abandoning their unessesary treaty with Germany.

Allies Thanked

The King wishes to express both his personal gratitude and that of the nation for the British and French navies swift responce to his call for assistance.
In addition, he hopes that the British and French fleets will continue to render assistance by joining the persuit of the Spanish fleet.

Premier warns Spanish king
Returning to Paris today after his vacation in Indochina, Premier Winterfritz supported the Italian demands towards their Spanish neighbours. ‘We will not tolerate Germany’s attempts to surround us with enemies,’ he said to the Chamber of Deputies today. ‘So we must ask that Spain cancel her alliance with the Second Reich.’

The French government as a whole today reaffirmed their commitment to the Entente and issued a formal statement expressing approval of Italian actions. French vessels continue to assist the Italian 3rd fleet off Sardina.

Economic, population booms continue
Premier Winterfritz’s government has seen the beginning of an unprecedented golden age for France. In the six months since his election, bi-monthly tax revenue figures have increased over 200 %. As fast as this money pours in, however, it is spent on new factories and steel mills designed to modernise French industry. The population too has increased by over two and a half million in the past six months. The new year saw ‘We love Winterfritz’ celebrations in every major city of metropolitan France.

Germany reminds France that Paris herself had taken unto themselves the task to surround Germany with hostile powers as demonstrated by the 1894 alliance between Russia and France. He has added that France should also "learn to take some of her own medicine".

Arhus Liberated

Arhus.- After a six hour shelling of Arhus where hostile units were in existance, the two Danish divisions in the city were destroyed by the Kriegsmarine units and later they were liberated by Uhlans in their march across the city. Danish citizens gave the Uhlan regiments flowers and cheered them on. The liberation of the Netherlands and Denmark will go in the textbooks of military history as a great feat undertaken by the Kriegsmarine.

Meanwhile, the Reichstag has finalised the documentation that makes the annexation of Denmark to the German Reich a reality and has added that Denmark has become one more province in our glorious Reich. The Chancellor has added that British ships in the area are sailing in German waters and are requested to return to international waters and not tresspass in German sovereign waters.

The following pictures of British ships in German waters off Denmark has been circulated:
