"They did what now?" "I think you heard me correctly, Mr. Prime Minister. The Hispanics have just declared themselves controllers of all of Spain." "There is no Spain! Hispania and Andorra are entirely seperate, similar only in language! That'd be like us being subjects to Pascoag! It Cannot happen!" "Shall I issue a statement, sir?" "No, Mr. Bertrand. I'll issue it myself." ----------------------- Official Statement from Prime Minister Toussaint Chevalier of the Çerdon Republic: Today, my minister of foreign affairs informed me of recent actions by the Hispanic government. It has come to my attention that the Hispanic state has announced its intent to annex the Republic of Andorra, one of the closest allies of Çerdoné, and a founding member of the Madrid Pact. Despite our warnings of war should King Hannibal make this move, he has defied our warning and proceeded regardless. I want to reiterate my position that Andorra WILL remain independent, and give this warning to Hispania: Çerdoné does not make its promises lightly. This action will not be forgiven. This action will not be overlooked. For so long as the beacon of freedom that is Andorra shall stand at odds with the authoritarian Hispanic regime, Çerdoné will not let up. We also wish to remind Hispania that Andorra is not only an ally of Çerdoné. They are an ally of the Madrid Pact as well, and an Ally of JAUST. This invasion is a declaration of war against all member states of both organizations, by proxy. Should Hispania not withdraw its claims, a state of war will exist between the Republic of Çerdoné and the Kingdom of Hispania. ------------------------ Private Message to the Hispanic Government: The government of Çerdoné hereby issues an official warning to the Kingdom of Hispania. Withdraw your claim within the next 24 hours. Otherwise, a state of war shall exist between the Kingdom of Hispania and the Republic of Çerdoné. -Prime Minister Toussaint Chevalier. |

-Private and Secure- To: Çerdon Government From: Nagian-State Government The territory of Nag Ehgoeg takes a great interest in the recent warmongering by the Hispanics. For political reasons, we do not wish to openly side against a member of the ToK so soon after the Georgian Affair but we are no strangers to the arrogance and aggression of Hispania. While our states differ significantly in politics, Nag Ehgoeg would be happy to secretly lend Çerdon tactical advisors and to offer Nag Ehgoeg as a political safe-haven should you need some place to conduct negotiations. Should the worst happen and conflict unfolds, we are also willing to offer the small-scale assistance of our Special Forces surgical strike teams. We understand that you may wish to discount our offered aid for political reasons, but in Nag Ehgoeg we firmly believe in the sayings "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and that "discretion is the better part of valour". |

-Encrypted Message- To: Nagian-State Government From: Çerdon Government In Çerdoné, we also respect the doctrine "les ennemis de mes ennemis sont mes amis." We are highly pleased to hear that Nag Ehgoeg is willing to put aside national differences in this instance, and aid us in our possible struggle against Hispania. We understand your reluctance to take open involvement in this conflict, and your proposal is highly pleasing. We welcome tactical advisers to help identify quick routes to disable Hispania's war making capabilities, and we are also interested in the possibility of Nagian special strike teams being implemented. We believe that any such aid would turn to be greatly in our favor. |

To: Çerdon Government From: Hispanic Government Time: 8:30 pm, April 11th, 2008 Hispania will not strike on Castillian territory. However, Hannibal II will remain the King of Spain, and will remain recognized as such by the Hispanic government. If Cerdone is willing to go to war over the matters of royalty, then so be it, but let it be known that the agression will be theirs and theirs alone. Hispania will not strike first against Andorra. ------------------------- The men put on their uniforms, under orders from the Captain. They were the best of the best, and the only force that could be trusted for such an operation. They were ten miles from the Hispanic border, and numbered just over 40. At 11:30, Captain LaCroix ordered his men together, and gave them their orders. They would be attacking a small radio tower, on the Hispanic side of the border, while wearing these uniforms. They would meet minor resistance in the form of a garrison of fifteen men, poorly trained security guards from some place or another. Most importantly - there would be security cameras, taping everything that happened. By 2:30 that morning, they had walked to the edge of the base, and waited in the bushes. At 2:43, Specialist Benjamin Pierda lined up his scope, and found two men waiting at the entrance of the building. He quickly fired, and the men fell dead. Immediantly after, the rest of the team surged forward. The skirmish was over quickly. Tensions were extremely high since the coronation, and many border areas had experienced situations that almost devolved to actual fighting. To any observer, this would be nothing but a situation that had finally boiled over. By 3:19, the men had established control of the radio tower, and left a message broadcasting on all frequencies - Viva la Republica, Muerte a Hannibal Long live the Republic, Death to Hannibal ----------------------------------------- Official Statement of Hispania; 10:00 am, April 12th, 2008 At 3:00 this morning, fifteen Hispanic soldiers at the Los Santos Radio Tower were assaulted by radical republicans, wearing Andorran army uniforms. No man was left alive. A threatening message, demanding death to Hannibal II and the Kingdom of Spain, was left playing on all frequencies. Hispania demands that Andorra turn over the men responsible for this attack in 12 hours or less, or it will see this as a state-sponsered action, and first shots of what will be a long and brutal war. Furthermore, we demand the demilitarization of the Hispanic-Andorran border, to ensure this does not happen again, as well as permission for Hispanic intelligence agencies to enter Andorra, and combat anti-Hispanic elements before they strike Hispania. We demand that Andorra publically apologize for their failure to keep order and stability, and control subversive elements. Failure to respond, or to accept all these demands, will be seen as a declaration of war by Andorra on Hispania, and Hispania will not back down. All military forces are on high alert. This is the only warning we will give. |

-Private Transmission- From: Prime Minister Toussaint Chevalier of the Republic of Çerdoné To: Hispanic Government By claiming rule over the sovereign territory of another nation, King Hannibal II of Hispania has already broken established international codes, and declared war against Andorra. A metal bullet does not need to be fired to declare a war- your bullet was diplomatic. We shall defend our democratic allies to the last drop of hope there. We shall ensure that Andorra will remain a government by the people, for the people. Democracy in Andorra will live on. Mark my words. ---------------------- -Public Statement- Hispania has claimed that it will not be the catalyst of a Hispanic-Andorran conflict, and contradicts itself already! The actions of some terrorists, if they really were Andorran terrorists, can not be seen as state sponsored. 12 hours is a ridiculous time span for ultimatum, especially considering that some terrorists have been on the wanted lists for years. Hispania is being unreasonable and belligerent. We wish to know what evidence there is that these men were Andorran. They could be foreign democratic activists, against the brutal claims of the King of Hispania. This is just another example of Hispanic belligerence, and it cannot be tolerated, and it will not be tolerated. The Hispanic state is knowingly entering a hasty war, and this controversy will not be ignored. Our relations with Hispania are now at a new low point, and we hope the international community understands that war is still a possibility. We hope that all the sane nations of the world will talk Hispania out of this potentially catastrophic conflict that looms on its horizon. -Toussaint Chevalier, La Republique de Çerdoné |

Official Statement of Hispania The men had clear military training, and wore Andorran military uniforms. This is not the first act of Andorran aggression on Hispanic soil, which began during Hispania's aquisition of the Exarch of Spain. Andorra has time and time again shown it has no desire for peaceful coexistence. If they do now, they will respond to the ultimatum quickly, and fully. |

-Public Statement- Once again, Hispania has taken an accusatory tone when speaking of Andorra. Andorra is a noble and well-respected nation. Perhaps Hispania doesn't understand this. If Hispania does not want a war with Çerdoné, we suggest that they cease this fiasco at once, and withdraw all claims t Andorra. Simply stating that uniforms are enough evidence is not good enough. Andorran military personnel have been trained to become some of the finest on the continent. Andorran military personnel, after all, likely wouldn't have been careless enough to let themselves be filmed. Hispania's paranoia isn't fooling anybody. -Prime Minister Toussaint Chevalier. |

Clearly, these actions go against the interests of peace in Europe, for it is foolish to think that Hispanic aggression won't be answered by Andorra and her allies. We ask for people to be reasonable. To go to war against Andorra serves no ones interests but that of warmongers. |

Official Hispanic Statement These men clearly wanted to send a message to Hispania. These men were dressed in Andorran military uniform, voiced the pro-Republican propoganda of Andorra that led to the Madrid Pact and near war over Hispania's legal acquisition of the Exarchate. These men killed fifteen highly trained Hispanic troops without suffering a single shot - they were clearly very well trained, very well disciplined, and used weaponry that can only be defined as military hardware. If Andorra is not responsible for this attack, then they will let Hispanic investigators into Andorra to search for who is. They will begin to step up operations to stop future actions of a similar nature. They will begin to control subversive elements within their own lands, before they strike Hispania. Andorra's political troubles should not be a national security concern to Hispania - unfortunately, they now are. Andorra has ten hours left to respond to this ultimatum. If they want peace, they would agree to our more than reasonable demands. |

Private Communication To: Imperial Kasnyia From: WRK Dear Brothers, We are somewhat disappointed to find your condemnations of Spanish action, though not unsympathetic. We understand the situation into which you have been placed. Despite this, we beg you to change your position. While it is true that Andorra pledged to aid the war in Georgia, it is cruel and unfair to ignore the current Andorran terrorist attacks on the Kingdom of Spain. Andorra has become the new Scythirus, a threat to the life and liberty of all Europeans. That they "elect" their leader does not change the Voramixian nature of their tyranny. How can the people of Hispania be asked simply to ignore open attacks on their people? We understand that you are in the JAUST, allied to Andorra and Cerdone, the warmongerors in this current altercation. But we had thought that we in the Treaty in Europe could count you a friend. You have long earned our friendship by your participation in European affairs; surely you would not squander that in order to defend Andorra's war crimes? In fact, we would point out that no JAUST nation is obligated to defendant Andorra in any way, shape, or form, as Andorra is the aggressor against Spain. Furthermore, we remind you that Andorra was a destabilizing force in Europe since it began its involvement in international affairs. It has continually attempted to spread revolutionary ideology to the point that it is a danger to the life and limb of every European man, woman and child. It was irresponsible for the JAUST to admit Andorra, a rare lapse in judgment. Please do not compound that error; we urge you to attempt any sort of expulsion proceedings the JAUST has, rather than allow the name of JAUST to be tarnished by Andorra's monstrous actions. In Christ, George Palaeologus |

Private Communication To- WRK From- Imperial Kasnyia "Your Excellency, it is not my wish to have war, believe me. My intention is only to have peace between JAUST and the ToK, and Hispania's action spits in the face of this. However, there is another reason my government cannot support Hispania in this matter, and this is because of their continued support of the Gassel regime, which is unacceptable to me and my government. So long as they continue to recognize the 'legitamacy' of the Topaz dictatorship, the Empire cannot and will not show support to them. Please understand we do not have any personal love for the Andorrans, whom we did not get along with ourselves. However, Cerdone has long been an ally and they feel especially slighted by these measures, and so we offer what little support we can in the name of that friendship. That said, I will do my level best to delay this war as long as possible, and will fight to keep JAUST as a whole out of it. For that to happen however, the ToK too must wash its hands of this situation and become neutral themselves. This conflict must be resolved between Cerdone and Hispania on their own, lest it turn into a Europe-wide war that no one wishes to have, especially due to the action of some disenfranchised Andorrans. In a perfect world, we would be able to have a diplomatic solution for all of this, and it would be one that I would prefer to follow. However, their is bloodlust in the air, and I fear for what that may mean in the near future. Her Imperial Majesty and myself thank you for taking the time to appeal to us. We will indeed try our best to stop this madness, but I can make no promises unfortunately. In Christ, On behalf of Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress Dowager, Lionel Karschburg, Prince of Vjerrs and Prime Minister of Kasnyia |

Private Communication To: Imperial Kasnyia From: West Roman Kingdom "Your Highness, "Thank your for taking the time to right in response to our concerns. You do not want a war, and neither do we. It is our suspicion that most of Europe shares our sentiment. It is our opinion that a diplomatic solution is still not precluded, and it is for this reason that we right to you with such immediacy. "We appreciate your offer to attempt to keep JAUST as a whole out of the war, and we understand your duty toward Cerdone, though we disapprove. Cerdone has been second only to Andorra in its attempts to destabilize the European Continent in the name of abstract ideology, which when take to its logical ends, would require the annihilation of your own Kasnyian monarchy in the name some godless "Republic." It is this same radical republicanism which has led to the current troubles in Spain. "Considering the toll of the war in Georgia, we should be able to accede to your wishes, in that the Treaty of Konigsberg will likely not enter this war in full force, for that full force lay dead, strewn across the Caucasian Mountains. Most of the Treaty will only offer token support, I expect, so perhaps a wider war can be averted. "But know that Spain is to Sicily as Andorra is to Cerdone. They are our brothers, Roman citizens as per ancient custom. There is simply no way that Sicily can abandon Spain, nor can Sardinia who has also long been tied to Spain, nor can Africa which acted for a time as mother country to Spain in the long-forgotten mists of antiquity. It pains us greatly that we cannot pledge to stay out of this war, but for that the blame remains sqaurely on Cerdone. This could have remained a Spanish affair between Spanish royalists and Spanish republicans, but Cerdone has recklessly and ruthlessly incinerated that possibility. The blame for this catastrophe lay upon them as much and perhaps more than on Aragon or Castille. "We share your distate for the Gasselist regime, though naturally such concerns are of greater impact to you than to we. Know though that we sympathize greatly with your plight, having only recently returned from exile to our homeland and thrown off the shackles of alien bondage. But we wonder if this cannot come to a peaceful resolution. We served, if we may remind you, in the naval battle on the Gibraltar Straits all those years ago, when Imperial Kasnyia battled the Ribbenzoph royalists. Our side and your own were not one. And still we maintain relations with the King in Alexanderhaven. But despite all of that, we have managed to maintain friendly relations, seeing no need to have animosity between us. Could not Spain be the same? "Now we understand that the Gasselist regime is an entirely different beast than either the Imperial or Royal Kasnyian sovereignties. And for this reason, we would make another offer. Would your ability to intervene change if we could persuade the Spaniards to withdraw recognition of Konstantin Gassel's illegal terrorist rule? "We await your answer and thank your for your eagerness for peace and friendship. "In Christ God, "King George Palaeologus" |

Private Communique To- WRK From- Imperial Kasnyia "Your Royal Excellency, We understand your own loyalty to Iberia and expected no different. We understand the consequences of what shall happen if war comes to Iberia. As for your offer to convince Romano to change his misguidedly foolish recognition of Gassel to recognize Emperor Maximillian Xavier V, if you are successful, then Kasnyia herself will herself become neutral to this conflict, as we have no intention to betray Cerdone, inspite of their ultra-progressivism. I agree that most of Europe does not wish for war. Certainly the Russians, who have lost so much to the Muhammadans and Persians, or Quaon, who lost nearly the same amount. As for blame, that can be done later, once the crisis is past. In my personal opinion, and one that Her Imperial Majesty shares, is that any who strive for open war are at fault for any threats to peace. But that is not relevant just now. Only that order be maintained. Do note however, that if Kasnyia convinces JAUST to stay out, that the Treaty of Konigsberg too must stay out, token force or no. Otherwise I will be unable to stop this from escalating. It is my hope that perhaps together we may solve this insanity." In Christ, On behalf of Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress Dowager, Lionel Karschburg, Prince of Vjerrs and Prime Minister of Kasnyia |

We will now do what we can through the Treaty of Konigsberg and other channels. We will continue to be in touch. Though our views on this are different in some regards, we may be able to make peace together. "In Christ, "King George Palaeologus" ***** --Private Communication-- To: Kingdom of Spain From: West Roman Kingdom "Dearest Roman brethren, "We have watched with anxiety the events unfolding in your domain and the horrors committed by the republicans. As we have stated in the past, our forces are pledged to yours. "We have been in communication with the Imperial Kasnyian government-in-exile. It is our hope to minimize JAUST's influence in this war and the Kasnyian government seeks a diplomatic peace, unable on their own to restrain the wild-eyed bloodlust of the godless Cerdone. "In this we had questions for you. Does the Spanish Kingdom still recognize the Gasselist regime in India? This is a sticking point for the Imperial Kasnyians. Would you be willing to reconsider your stance on such matters, especially in light of the infamous treatment of your diplomat in Guranburg? "Our second question is as follows: would it be worthwhile to consider the convention of a Third Iberian Peace Summit? At such an event, we may be able to marshall enough evidence of Andorran perfidy to convince Africa, Europe, and the Americas that your claim is just. I do not mention the East because so many of the nations in that part of the world seem animated by nothing other than hatred for the European. "Please deliver to us your thoughts.

The Republic of Andorra has seen fit to refuse to reply to our ultimatum. They have not given us the men responsible for this attack, which all intelligence indicates are a part of the Andorran military; they have no given any promises about securing the border against future attacks; they have not given permission for Hispanic authorities to investigate the attack; they have not demilitarized the border; they have not even so much as responded to the communiqué. May the world know that it is they who are the aggressors. Elements from their military have attacked sovereign Hispanic soil. This is not the first time. Similar skirmishes into Hispanic territory followed the fall of Rome. These were endorsed by the Andorran government, who agreed to halt such attacks. The Andorrans have proven they are not men of their word once again they begin this campaign of small invasions. Hispania will not be invoking the Treaty of Konigsberg for defense; we have fought a long, trying war in Georgia, and will not ask for such a sacrifice. Hispania does ask for her allies to defend her from the clear aggression of a power that has repeatedly called for her destruction, and the destruction of monarchies everywhere. This destabilizing force has been tolerated; it has now gone too far, and fifteen Hispanic men are dead because of her. A state of war now exists between Andorra and Hispania. |
