Once again, your demands are unacceptable and humilliating, we have offered a reasonable counter-offer, which your refused.
- Brazil will officially apologize for the harsh action. The body will be given back to Argentina and a representative of the Emperor, together with his delegation, will be sent to participate in the funeral.
- Brazilian investigators will investigate the matter.
- The ones indicted by the inquiry shall be trialed and face consequences according to Brazilian law, however, they will suffer their punishment on Argentine soil.
- The brazilian government will pay compensation for the family of the victim, if he is proved innocent. However, if the accusations of the Argentine press prove to be false, the brazilian government must receive compensation for the problem caused by their rushed conclusions.
I ask that neighbouring South-American nations stay out of that conflict, we don't want the fires of war to run through your fields as well.
Brazilians! We are being treacherously attacked by the ones that claimed to be our friends, they even dared to refuse a generous offer to avoid a bloodbath that would be a war on our continent!
One year ago these Argentinians claimed to be our friends, signing a trade agreement with us, however now they throw wild accusations on us, refusing to allow for investigations to take place and putting the blame of the death of one man on the entire country! Let's not hear any more of this, they desire war, they desire to see us broken, but i tell you my brothers, we are strong and potent, our army and leadership are both capable, our navy will protect our coast against these aggressions. Join the army now and let's bring a swift end to this aggression, don't allow the treacherous backstabbers in Argentina to destroy our beautiful country, rise! Once more i ask you, join the army and defend the Fatherland against this invasion!
GLORY TO THE FATHERLAND!
OOC: So is yours (or at least a large portion of it) and I'd say Uruguay would have something to say about this.
OOC : Mine is distributed along the coast...most of it is in Rio de Janeiro, that isn't as close to the front as Buenos Aires
OOC: What? THey don't even border each other.
Maybe, they will probably want to gain control of a certain river tough...
