When you fill in the rest of your initial post in this news thread could you state the current political stability of France? If it is going to stay as a monarchy [advantages- strong, direct rule] then it will need to introduce some reforms, possibly in a parlement. If a revolution is on the cards then you will have to let us know the causes of the revolution, and be prepared for some possible intervention.

Their is some grumbling from the peasantry about taxes and things, but no revolution is expected. However, should things get worse there will most likely be an uprising amongst the peasantry.

Nice additions, also Jensai, could you state your ruling dynastic house and current military strength? No worries, just when you can be bothered/have time.

To: the king of France
From: his most Catholic Majesty Charles the III of Spain

Sire, I coem to to prpose an allicne between our greta nations. both of our nations are strong catholics and in a allince with the Holy Roman Emporer we can create a catholic europe, free of the potasdent(SP) scum.

If we allied my first target would be the Neatherlands, should the HRE come into this alliance then i suggest that we three invade it together, seizing it for thr true religion and deviding it between ourselves.

The Kingdom of Sweden hereby issues a call to arms among the Protestant states of Europe to unite against the spreading Catholic disease. The call for an alliance of neccessity between ourselves, Russia, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Prussia and Denmark is called for to defeat this great threat. Please respond as swiftly as possible.

Also, we call on the French nation NOT to join this unholy Catholic alliance of the Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. We respect the French nation and would not wish war on it. Cast out this warmongering evil and no war shall come to pass between our two nations. To the rest of the Protestant world, join us in standing up to this Catholic pestilence. Who will answer me?

King Karl X of Sweden.

With are deepest regreats we hear of your declaration of war. This is very inconsistant of France, Sweden Declares war on A Catholic nation and you join him in an instant. In light of recent events Francis I and several German Bishops asking for your Immediate excommunication from the church, for war on a Catholic nation.

I'm sure your spies have brought wrong information to your Majesty. The Swedish have Declared war on All Catholic Nations Besides yourself, we ask you not to spill the blood of innocents. If this conflict cannot be resolved quickly the Electors have voted 6 to 3 on war with france 100,000 soliders shall guard our borders.

This alliance was never formed to threaten the french but to reinforce Catholics position in Europe. You were orginally intened to join, but it seems you are no longer in god's favor.

Sweden attempted to form a defensive alliance against the encroaching power of Spain, who is attempting to usurp our influence as well. If you do not see taht Spain was simply attempting to consilidate it's own power, as you are now, then you are a fool. We will not back down from your pitiful threat of excommunication. The Pope will see our reason and back us!

My freind, I balive that this has been blown out of proportion, we have never had any intention of declaring war upon yourselves or upurp your position in Europe, indeed how could we when you are the most powerful nation in Europe, what we offered however was an allince, clean and simple, and we also told you of our plans. Indeed, we panned a three way attack to quickly end the protestent threat.

But it seems that you ahve decided to turn against the true faith and join the hertics, you have chosen not to join a grand catholic coalition of which, Spain, germany and Poland are already members of but instead stand wlone. I urge you to reconsider.

A most polite request:

With the incresing agresion towards Lombardy, Austria asks France not to intefeer in their actions, as we are not trying to weaken France, but just strenghten our influence in Medieteranium. We promise you that we will not take action towards any other Italian state!

Empress Maria Theresia

Sweden is understandably worried by the Austrian build up of troops around Lombardy and requests that France does not allow Austrian aggression to go unpunished and that it assists the Lombards in defending their sovereign lands if neccesary.

Secretely:

We also remind France that there is much to gain in Italy among the disorganised Italian States and that Lombardy especially will be most grateful to you that they may even accept French sovereignty.

Regards,

King Karl X

A most secret letter delivered direcly to French kings hands:

I was most sad when informed that you intent to support Lombardy in case of war with Austria. So we came up with a suggestion from wich our nations will both benefit...

Austria invades Lombardy, your forces come in Italy as saviors, the people greet them with cheers, but the troops never leave, you know waht we are talking abouth...

If interested, please reply as soon as posible, and we will discuse this matter to details.

A messenger made his way from Berlin to Paris. He would deliver his message to the king of France and him only.


News of your gracefull decision to protect the Italian states from Austrian espansion has reached my ears. I must say that I look forward to hearing of great victories coming from your efforts. The nature of those involved in this war makes it unlikely for Prussia to remain neutral for long and so I come here to ask for your support should Prussia decide to enter on your side. We want to join the war against Austria but we need your help to do so. In order for Prussia's armies to descend on Bohemia we require financial and limited military support. If France were to supply our treasury with some amount of gold and our army with 50 field cannon and 10 heavy siege guns then Prussia would be sure to march south.

Frederick the II of Prussia

A note is returned with the messenger,

We will give you the gold, and we will supply you with 20 seige guns. How much gold does His Majesty King Frederick desire for his country? We look forward to a long friendship with Prussia.

His Majesty the King of France, Louis XV

200,000 thalers would more than suffice.

Very well. We shall dispatch the first shipment of gold and guns at our next opportunity. We expect the attack to come as soon as possible.

Our armies shall advance as soon as the guns and gold arrive. I look forward to achieving a great victory over our common foe.

(OOC: I'll assume we still have an alliance with France, as my history notes tell me)

A letter to King Louis the XV

As your ally and friend I ask you to consider a compromise with Austria in the Italian states, it is understandable that you desire to protect the freedom of those citizens of small weak nations but perhaps you could come to an agreement as I'm sure neither of you really desires the mauling of your armies, more so with the German Confederation and Spainish nearby and pretty much at odds with you.

Signed Catherine II, Empress of Russia
