For immediate release....
----------
Well it seems that my hope for world peace is just that hope.?? Not only has my offer been rebuffed it was met with a threat from leader of that once great country, Germany.?? Sir you are planning so far ahead to attack my armies in the upcoming fall.?? You claim your threat was not personal but it can be taken no other way.?? Perhaps we could have come to an agreement that was good for both our lands.?? But then again, it is early and perhaps we can once again plan to spend the holidays together.
??
But until that point it is with great joy that we accept the gracious offer from the brave and honorable Sultan.?? It pleases me to be friends with a man you will honor his word and keep his fleets from the Black Sea.?? We do have a great history and the word Juggernaut comes to mind does it not??? And I see that the Italians have more than made it clear that your great land of Turkey will be the first target of the growing Austrian/Italy union.?? With your fleets and my armies and the help of our other fine allies, we can stop those who stand against us.
??
Tsar Nicholas
