People of Hispanolia, Our leaders have betrayed us! Mere weeks after we gained our independence, the traitors have handed our freedom over to yet another power!
I, Grand Marshal Francisco Franco y Bahamonde declare that this is the last time our freedom shall be taken from us! All true citizens of Hispanolia shall be armed, all shall fight against the tyrannical forces that seek to enslave us. We shall not be slaves to Spain. We shall not be puppets to America. We shall not be betrayed by the Colombians. We shall not bow to the Confederates. Hispanolia is ours, now and forever!
The traitors, Presidente Carlos Ballesteros, Vice Presidente Jose Imigrantez, Foreign Minister Carlos Fuentes and Admiral Francisco Blanco, have all been arrested and hung from the gallows by the Republican Guard. The rest of the Government has been purged of any potentially disloyal elements.
Together with General Juan Castro and Colonel Rafael Guevara, I shall form an emergency Government to run the nation and hereby suspend the normal constitution. With our firm and wise guidance in place, Hispanolia shall defeat our foes and retain our freedom, or die in the attempt.
Finally, I extend an offer of friendship to the nation of France and her Emperor. We are much like your ancestor Napoleon and yourself. We are all military men. We all strive against foreign oppression of our people. We have the skill and determination to see our cause to victory. We ask that he accept our offer of friendship, and that he use whatever means at his disposal to help us secure our independence.
Now Hispanolians, with a prayer on your lips, fire in your hearts and steel in your hands! RESIST THE INVADERS!
