Hmm.. let's check our facts, shall we?
Face it, you are doomed. You had your opportunity to prevent any conflict, and you chose to attack the president and close negotiations TWICE. And support the communist revolution. It's your fault.
My mistake. I meant señor Ferrari. And as to how I know this? As I said earlier I was part of the plans. But not as a supporter but as an agent of the FNT. I reported back to señor gogolow my fears and urged action and I have been proven correct.
If you did mean me, I do not see how I could think less of this current situation. I am merely voicing some opposition to it, that is all. I will follow what the people and government decide. And how are we to know that you are telling the truth and not a lie about this so called "plot" and your being "an agent of the FNT"? Do you have any hard evidence to support your claims?
And it seems I must, once again, state that my name is being misspelled by several persons. It is Ferarri not Ferrari.

The evidence of this plot is before you señor ferrae. I need say nothing more on that. As to being an agent of the FNT. Well that us fairly obvious as well. I was a member of the FNT and was about to be elected as chairman. I only resigned from the party when I realized they were too timid to stop the planned right coup.
Senor Ferarri, you can see now that the alternative is letting this accusatory rat have a place in Government. You must support Archbishop Fernandez's coup, for the good of Chile.

Even if the President betrays his own government, Alvarez will still be left to defend it - meaning Haakalein still has a strong chance against the Cardinal's national revolutionaries.
Very well, besides an Admiral in no position to secure free elections in mainland Chile, the closest thing to supporters of democracy right now are you and the Haaklein, General Rios. I have no armies, but I offer you my experience if you'll have me.
In the meantime, Admiral Alvarez I suggest that once this is all over you help the people and escaped officials in Panama sort out how involved Presidente de Conti was with the Fernandistas. Perhaps a democracy can bloom in the Canal territory at least.

Farewell to communists and separatists! All those who seek to divide Chile must say goodbye! International communists? Separatists? You better go cause mayhem elsewhere, because Chile has awakened!
War is bad for business, coups are terrible for the economy, and Communists will bring an end to industrialism! In light of this madness, this confusion, and this instability I find myself torn over what course of action to take. I wish I could stand with the entirety of the right but I cannot be sure that my conservative brethren will all follow the same path. I value democracy but so far it has proven to be an ineffective system of government due to the radicals that infest our country.
In light of this political instability, in light of the leftist insurrection, and because many of my fellow rightists have already declared their support for the "coup," I shall do the same!
Surely God smiles upon me as I proudly proclaim to the Congreso that I support the "Coup" to restore stability, peace, and economic prosperity!

If the Canal zone's 24,000 soldiers under Rivera don't decide to side with either coup, you mean? I no longer have a Marine Corps to enforce any land actions with.
Rally for the Republic, any loyal generals out there. We still have strength if we stick together. I do not seek any more bloodshed than is necessary in such times, and order the Navy to avoid bombardment of rebel held territories unless naval bases and supplies are threatened. I also order the Navy to continue plans to evacuate political leaders to safe areas regardless of political alignment, and to aid in the movement of any armies still loyal to Chilean democracy.

I knew it'd come to this.. the Admiral, always loyal to the republic, makes a last stand for democracy. It really is a shame that it ends this way, but atleast it's a warrior's death.
Not that it could ammount to anything other than a last stand: the Admiral doesn't have any troops other than unarmed sailors. The only harm would be done to international trade with Europe and perhaps a supply problem with Rivera who is in Panamá at the moment.

The telegraph to the Naval station has been set up again, Presidente. I apologize for its breakdown (a storm blew down some lines), but now you can communicate with the naval offices again.
And if not, well it's hardly a warrior's fight at all unless you or the communist coup-ists decides to attack Naval bases. I will not blockade trade, aside from any legal necessities (i.e. smuggling into Chile will still be enforced), nor do I wish to attack either army. If the Chilean government is set up in a new form, the Navy is still the Chilean Navy - but we will not side with generals declaring illegal seizures of power for any reason. We are here to defend Chile, not determine its politics.
There may be more democratic support than you account for, Señor Fernandez.

You might have done more damage than you think. Having left Rivera isolated, you might have given the communists the upper hand. We might become a communist dictatorship because of your indirect interference..
I go on leave to visit some of my old army buddies for a few day's.....and the republic falls apart.
Rios I am ashamed that I ever backed you, you convinced me that their were some truelly just and righteous Socialistas but I was wrong, their all feral beasts and should be treated as such. De Conti's government has proven to be a buerocratic nightmare in which nothing can be accomplished and has allowed Radicalism to flourish around the world. I am a loyal christian soldier of Chile and I will fight for the Nationalist Coup, that being said I am still not a patriotica and I still have issues with most of my former comrades.

And if I had interfered directly, you could say it might lead us in the path to a fa- ...presidential dictatorship.
I love this Republic, I sincerely do, as it was my grandfather's greatest accomplishment and dearest hope for the future. However, the Republic has been destroyed, not by the Church, nor by the Army, but by the government of Chile itself. The past few years have seen the Andonists, the Germanists, and the Reninists all attempt to exert their undue influence on our glorious nation, and now is the time to draw a line in the sand; now is the time to restore Order!
I support Fernandez, if only because I feel that the Republic has been irreparably damaged by General Rios and his allies.

Do you see now Rios, that all of this is directly your fault? You pushed everyone into radicalism, both the left and the right.
Welcome to the winning side Santa Rosa! Your declaration shall not be forgotten in the new order we forge.

People of the Republic,
I speak to you from an undisclosed location, having departed Santiago. Some will say that this is an act of cowardice. But is the fox who runs when confronted by the hunter more cowardly than the fox who lies down and allows himself to die? From my office in La Moneda, I can do nothing to save the nation. But free from that prison, I can make one last valiant effort to preserve her from destruction.
The hounds of hell are tearing at the throat of the Fatherland. Civil war looms, promising to be more brutal and bloody than any which has preceded it. A maelstrom of mayhem descends upon us, obliterating all in its wake. Everything I have fought for - peace, prosperity and stability - stands to be reduced to ashes. When faced with such a nightmare, the culmination of my darkest and most horrible fears, I cannot stand by and remain silent. I refuse to preside over the destruction of the Fatherland.
I have nothing but scorn for the conniving Senor Rios, and his lapdog general, who has delivered Chile into the hands of the Reaper. This crisis - this conflict - is all a product of his megalomania and lust for power. He has dashed peace against the rocks of war. For the sake of his personal ambitions, he would see every corner of Chile immersed in blood. For the sake of his throne, he is willing to march his armies against Santiago herself. So hell-bent on consolidating his dictatorship is he that he stripped his own friend and ally of command simply to further his ambitions. General Rios is General Roseno come again, only without even the sole redeeming characteristic of having won a general election.
But this was not the solution to Rios' treachery. This counter-coup will merely reap more bloodshed and more destruction. Between these twin hurricanes, the nation shall be shattered and reduced to ruin. We should have stood by the Fatherland, not subverted it for the sake of ideology. We should have united against this insurrection, not divided ourselves further. When faced with the choice of aiding or abetting in the subversion of the nation, I can only decline. I am the President of the Republic. I will not be its executioner.
I cannot save Chile. But I can save the Republic. I can preserve her in spirit and in form, ready to return to the mainland once the constitutional order has been restored. The rightful government of Chile shall persevere. The apparatus of state will continue to perform. The executive shall be evacuated to safety. The nation is lost, but the National Government lives on.
I declare myself for the Republic.
I do not stand against Archbishop Fernandez. But I cannot stand with him, when the price is bloodshed on an unprecedented scale.
¡Viva el Estado Libre de Chile!
- President Charles Maximilien de Conti
