The Second Coalition - 22 June 1799

[Paddy]

I have sent riders to the four courners of my lands, to await the "holy save"

still no word

[Shogun Gunner]

My advisors tell me that one of my couriers, Mr. Stukin Outbox, of Outlook, is to be blamed for the delay.

He has been thrown in an Austrian prision.

Another courier, Mr. Sendin Receive, also of Outlook, has been charged with delivering the save to England.

inbound again Sire

[Wittlich]

Ok. So what is DHLTB exactly? Can it be a secret code?!?

[Paddy]

hahaha

DHLTB

Don has left the building

It is another PBEM we are playing.

Named after the founder, Don, who left the building very very early.

[Iron Jackson]

Hmm, we got Wittlich confused.
Maybe we shall exploit that ...

Got a little bit confused myself.
Shall I ...
No, I won´t exploit this.
Save was sent to Bongo.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

to all the confused, I hold the save. Im just finalising the peace deal to be put on the table then will proceed.

Iron I will be sending you some terms shortly, if you could reply ASAP then I can wrap this state of affairs up

[ChrisiusMaximus]

The Peace Propoasal !!

My dear friends and Allies,

I have been charged with bringing together the warring parties in these recent hostilities. I have spoken at length with all the combatants and hope that all will see this as a fair and just plan.

I must point out that although a declaration of war was also served upon Spain by Prussia when Konig Bongo sneak attacked King Paddy, that we as two nations have yet to strike at one another!! I therefore have no claim against the Prussian people, and hereby forfeit such.

This leaves three nations to be considered!


Please peruse this map of the disputed lands.

[Paddy]

I agree with these terms.

As stated from the beginning I do not desire any of these lands.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

I digress,

Bongo you have privtely told me you no longer wish to maintain a presence in Sweden and Norway !

King Paddy you have stated the same !

My Lord Iron Jackson you have stated that Prussia should lose control of these lands !

After much deliberation I have come to this decision, if all three parties can hereby agree!

Lord Iron Jackson you will return control of the Prussian port city of Konisberg (circled red) to the Prussian people, you will retain control of Kristianstad (circled green) which is the second Prussian city you have captured. Further as a gesture of goodwill Lord Bongo will cede control of two further cities to the Russian people, Huskvarna siezed by thr Prussians from the British and Stockholm (both circled green)

Although King Paddy was the offended party here he desires no further retribution from the Prussian people save for a sum of 100 gold to be delivered at a time agreeable to both parties. He feels that garrisoning such distant towns is of no worth to his nation, and would also like to express his thanks and admiration to his dear ally Lord Iron Jackson.

Konig Bongo both Lord Iron Jackson and King Paddy both agree to allow Oslo (circled blue) to remain Prussian, so although you were prepared to lose this city you have been granted permission to keep this asset as a gesture of goodwill.

I Chrisius of Spain feel this to be a fair and honest settlement!!!

Finally all foreign troops must leave Prussia, including the Austrian peacekeeping force deployed by Lord Gunnar. Thank you Lord Gunnar for allowing safe passage through your lands for my inspection party.

You will see four brigades of cavalry travelling through your lands at this time.

I believe we have all learned lessons from these events, no man is an island, and any who tries to take for himself what is rightfully anothers will surely perish!! It was these same values that held us strong and united in the face of the evil Napolean. So sad that these values soon crumbled.

I see no return for us to such a happy existence as we once all shared, one can only hope that peace will prevail. Lord Bongo you have a fresh chance !!

I believe also that as a lesson from this war we can all agree to the policy of no razing! This will be deemed as an atrocity and the nation responsible will be held to account.

I shall enclose a peace proposal with the Prussian people with my next despatches, I hope it can hold good!!!

Your servant King Chrisius Maximus of Spain.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

One missed point to all the above, I shall expect a report from my foreign advisor Don Miguel Santanez that all other parties have signed their own formal paper treaties when my government next convenes session in two months time !!!!!!!
