[Forum Game] - World in Revolution: 1861

[Duke of Britain]

Also got another question regarding the Qing: How come the nobles, merchants and clergy accept to rule together with peasants? I mean, sure, the peasants might like getting some sort of representation, but wouldn't pretty much *everyone* else revolt against such a move? They held more power and privileges before.

OOC : They already have you to worry with?

The Russian Empire encouarages the Americans to fight on. Also, the Russian Empire condmens the Irish rebels as nothing more than anarchists as well as it refuses to recognize the communist rebels inside of Britain.

"My brothers! Surely you have heard rumours of the so called "National Assembly" recently proclaimed by the imposter in Beijing. But what use is a weak and separated government, if said government can not feed the people it governs? If it can not defend the people who seek protection? If even its own officials choose to abandon it, to work for the rightfull ruler of all of China - Hong Xiuquan!

No, my brothers, that is no collection of free people trying to do the best for China, that is a "parliament" filled with the puppets of the false Emperor and his eunuchs! Ask yourself - do you know any honourable men in that assembly? Did any of them ever care about you, rather than the office they now hold?

Hong Xiuquan, by divine right Emperor of all of China, fed the hungry of Jiangsu. He clothed the freezing of Zhejiang. He sheltered the homeless of Fujian. That is what an Emperor is supposed to do - not to make empty promises in the form of a faked "National Assembly". Let them talk and debate in Beijing all they want - Hong Xiuaquan is here to better to life of every single Chinese. The Qing wont stand against him and his divince mandate, and against the unified will of the Chinese people!"

OOC: Sorry if IC posts all sound somewhat similar, but I have nothing to talk about other than the failing Qing for now. :P

Russian encouragement means nothing to a people who have grown tired of Lincoln's war. If Lincoln does not accept a peace with the Confederacy soon, the American people will shown how much they are tired during the national election and the cutting of all funds toward the war effort.

OOC : They already have you to worry with?

Nah, my recent actions demonstrated that anyone who's willing to work with me will retain a smiliar amount of power than under the Qing. Likewise, the peasants who came under my rule all are better off than under the Qing. Really, the only one who has to fear me is the "Emperor" and his closest advisors.

[Muskeato]

President Lincoln repeats the fact that the rebels declared war.

[Suirantes]

The Confederates may have fired the first shots, but it is you that continues to fuel the war effort that is clearly disliked by the general public.

[DoomBunny]

What's this, the Irish peasant now supports slavery as well?

Today in Rio de Janeiro, an Argentine Senator, Juan Pablo, was murdered by Brazillian Police for "Crimes against the state." As it turns out, Señor Pablo was actually trying to prevent a sabatoge attempt by a Brazillian slaveholder against a factory, which was planted with an explosive device, which exploded and destroyed the factory and set fire to several surrounding factories, disabling them. Word has reached us that the Argentine Government has officially declared war upon the Empire of Brazil, demanding that they pay them reparations for the dead civilian and an official apology.

[Duke of Britain]

It is sad that the Argentinian government decided to take such a harsh action whiout previous thinking or negotiations, we demand that the Argentinian goverment holds back and allow us to conduct a proper investigation and punish any culprits before starting a war on our continent.

OOC : I take it my population is bigger than the argentinian, right?

[Suirantes]

We would like to say the the British government that we are not peasants and we are aming to become the centre of learning in all of the World.

[Syber]

OOC: what, how... did I war.... Oh god...
IC coming in a bit

[DoomBunny]

What the Irish Bastard lacks in sense, he makes up for in humour. Perhaps he may spend his time in jail entertaining the other prisoners.

OOC: When I grow up, I want to be a whale!

Technically, Im allowed to call him a bastard as James Stephens was a bastard.

Syber, its pretty obvious by now that Fry just loves to throw spanners into the works of things.

This murder is another crime against civilization that continues to plague the world. If nations are to fight one another then many will die but peace needs to be respected otherwise. Regardless of relations each nation has for another there must be a certain level of civility during times of peace or the whole system countless lives depends on could come crashing down upon us all.

[Duke of Britain]

I never desired for it to turn out like this, and if the Argentinians backed down i would order a fair investigation to take place and would punish any culprits, however, if the Argentinians desire to throw our countries to war, then i call for all Brazilians to defend the Fatherland.
I still wait for the Argentinians to answer if they truly desire war with us.

Keep in mind that the murder wasn't ordered by the government, the action was harsh and there is the possibility that the responsible for the death of the Argentine senator was supportive of the slaveowners, if this story by the Argentinian newspaper is true.

OOC : I will probably make a bigger, proper IC post after the Argentinian post.

[jacob-Lundgren]

Would Brazil allow French investigators to take part to guarantee fairness of result? Surely both nations consider France as an impartial side interested in only the truth. If the Brazilian government is willing to talk trade treaty they should no doubt allow us to help avoid a destructive conflict.

[Duke of Britain]

Should the government of Argentina back down and apologize for their rushed action, we are willing to allow neutral investigators from a third party to help conduct investigations.

[jacob-Lundgren]

Should the government of Argentina back down and apologize for their rushed action, we are willing to allow neutral investigators from a third party to help conduct investigations.

Perhaps they could apologize for a rush to action and you could apologize for the fact the death took place on your soil and the talks and investigation could start off on an equal footing?

[Syber]

This is outrageous! A Senator of the Republic murdered while trying to stop terrorists! A set of demands is being set to Rio de Janeiro now.

[Morrell8]

Friends, Germans, we have suffered several small setbacks in this war against the Austrians, as they continue to call their minorities to fight and die. They will not fight to like men. They instead relegate the war to sieges and skirmishes showin all that they are in awe of the skill and prowess of the German War Machine. But we have won victory on the frontlines these past months, the Bavarian front has been driving into the heartland of that nation.

On the home front, we are winning ever more victories. Our centralized bureaucracy is more efficient and fair than ever, our freshly aquired colonies in the Caribbean are prospering where they had once been mere French backwaters and soon, our West African colonies will be prospering as well.

Deutschland über alles!
