[Aqualung71]

Oh, he's popped up again.

Ah yes, trotting out the standard line of each successive Spanish government......"current administration of Spain cannot be held responsible...."

Masuro's gone quiet. I think in his desperation he is trying to drag Rickety into an alliance

Ah, yes, a conspiracy of the silent. ^^

Well, it seems to work so well in real life I thought I'd try it in-game. . . . . .

[Aqualung71]

Well, is it working?

[Paddy]

by the look of his AV I do not think so

[Aqualung71]

Yes, I've been meaning to ask Mas about his avatar. Frankly I liked the Mushroom Beer better!

[marcuspeddle]

How's this one? Trembling with fear?

[ricketyclik]

The British and the Spanish have lived peacefully as neighbours, and as such are considering a formal alliance. Discussions are proceeding with our foreign ministers.

Should such an alliance come to pass, any aggression toward the Spanish will result in a state of war between the British Empire and the aggressor, due to the natural laws of our universe.

The presence of the Russian and Prussian fleets in British waters is of concern to the British monarch.

Surely there are nearer and more suitable targets for the Russian and Prussian expansionary desires?

July 1808 to Masuro.

Thank you, my good man.

A critically important dispatch to the Lord Rickety:

Greetings, good cousin

Firstly, I wish to assure you that the Imperial Russian Empire means no harm to the King of England. We do however, remember our enemies, and Spain is certainly one of them.

Czar Alexander would like to assure your Royal Highness, King George III, of Russia's loyalty to the Imperial Grand Alliance formed in the dark days when that dastardly Republican Napolean threatened the very existence of our noble families.

I ask you, good sir....how many of our Imperial Empires have succumbed to the French way and converted to Republic? The answer is none. We are all still loyal Monarchies, with family ties between our nations that will last forever.

Please remember, oh regal cousin....Russia has always remained faithful to the ideals of the Grand Alliance. Russia has consistently supported her brother-in-arms, Lord Paddy of Prussia, in their struggle for freedom against the French despot. Prussia, you will recall, was in the front lines of the battle against the French and suffered badly at her hands. Russia has done her best to assist Prussia, by gifting her cities of conquest to restore her empire to its former glory.

Russia has also remained faithful to you, oh great King George III, in our moral support of your wars against France and Austria. It is only the tyrrany of distance that has prevented our armies from playing a more active part in the offensive wars you have conducted on the mainland against our common foe.

It is against this background of brotherhood and goodwill that I now ask you to consider your position. Through no fault of your own, you are being courted by the lies of a desperate Spanish despot....whose name we do not yet even know, since there have been 2 revolutions in his land recently. Surely Spain is going the way of France, and will become a revolutionary Republic....a form of government that as you know, is abhorrent to citizens of our class.

There is surely more for me to say to you on this subject, but it is clear that I have said enough already. The choice is clear. In fact, for your royal personage there is essentially no choice. Your heritage demands continued allegiance to your allies, Russia and Prussia.

I look forward to your considered and positive response.

Your friend and cousin

Alexander Romanov, of Russia

[marcuspeddle]

The name is General Marcos, Alex baby.

[Aqualung71]

Don't you mean Generalissimo Franco?

Marcos was a Filipino!

[marcuspeddle]

A descendant of mine. ^^
