Russia, Feb 1799

Tzar Alexander is furious at Austrias unprovoked attack on the Russian Empire.

The number of Russian casualties are not yet accounted for, but the numbers where high. Russia trusted it's former friends in the west to act civilized and respect Russian troops in the area. Tzar Alexander expects the leader of Prussia to side with Russia in the war against Austria.

If Prussia is leaving the Alliance with Russia in the time of need, Prussia has shown itself a nation of cowards and people without any honor. Russia would have supported Prussia if Austria had attacked them, because we are allies. Only time will tell if Prussia's leaders are men of honour, or cowards who promise one thing and does another.

*In revenge for Autrias attack, the willage of Aspen was destroyed with 5 Austrian units in the city. This is just a taste of what is to come for the cowardly Austrian so called empire.

*Istanbul Captured by Russian forces

I don't have much time so here it is. Istanbul captured, a transport and five russian units camped on outskirts of town have been dealt with. Austrian troops continue to march on Athens. Peace with Prussians has been signed and welcomed with open arms.

AUSTRIAN FORCES CROSS THE BORDER!!!

Earlier this month an austrian, believed to be drunk, accidently crossed the austria-prussia border. In response to this, in what the King is calling a totally proportional response, the entire Prussian army crossed over the border and massacered the Garrisons of Krakau and Prag and invested both cities. In Krakau a piece of artillery was found which is further proof, say Prussian military advisors, that Austria was planning an invasion of Prussia.

The casulties are believed to be very heavy on the Austrian side with as many as 6 divisions of troops destroyed along with 2 divisions of their Hungarian Allies. Also the aformentioned artillery piece was destroyed. The surprise was complete and with Austrian forces now battling on 3 fronts, against Prussias allies Russia, and the Heathen Ottoman Turks things look Grim for Austria.

The King, defending himself from criticism about breaking the recently signed treaty, remarked that as loyal allies we were oath bound to come to the russians aid after the appaling attack from austria, but he was quick to say, again, that it was austria which sparked this war, with their lack of discipline

(Sorry Jimmy lol )

When The Russian Empire is attacked, every Russian will rise and defend its great country.

Even when minor upstart nations like Austria attacks the people mobilizes.

If Austria thought they had finished off the Russians in Turkey, Istanbul recaptures by Russian forces.

Emperor Francis II dies of old age!

The nation of Austria is in mourning this month as it's glorious leader has fallen. It is said that he died in his sleep and went peacefully while his country was betrayed by the Prussians. He will be remembered in for time and memorial for his conquests against the heathensof the Ottoman Empire.

Emperor Napolen seizes the Austrian throne!
The Austrian empire has become a vassal state of Napolean's ever growing empire. Only the capital city of Vienna has resisted, but without the Austrian army to stand behind it, it will surely soon subcumb to the pressure and join the French alliance.
