- ARCHIVE - Archbishopric Court of Wurzburg

[unmerged(10894)]

The Duke reads a message sent to him. Smirking, he addresses the other 4 heads of state.

"I have just been informed that the Hansa have met, and have just heard of our pact. My earlier suspicions have been cemented, they may be our biggest hurdle.

I have my person in Bremer monitoring the situation, but in the meantime I suggest we continue with our proceedings, and elect a chairperson to get us through this first turbulent year."

That is good, haveing a sp... I mean a man monitoring The archbishop smiles Could someone call the leaders of the north *part of the CETP* to sign the treaty? so we can start making this work!

and Duke Albercht of Bavaria, do you think we as leaders of the our countries select ourselfs the chairman allready?

 

[unmerged(24249)]

Your grace I have to agree Hansa will be the biggest trouble but if we will be united I feel our alliance can survive it. If we will stay toghether we have nothing to worry about. As for chairman I am not sure whom we will appoint as wurzburg is already headquarters of our alliance for now. Do other delegates have any idea?

Thank you for the question, I have indeed an idea, I think we should apoint a chairperson for 6 months ( 2 weeks ) untill we have the CETP running normally, then the council of the CETP should make a "normal" election to the new chairman.

And I would like to nominate Trade advisor, he have the first name of many of our lords here, albercht, his name is Albercht Wahlen, he was the man behind the idea of the CETP if we are the fathers of this alliance he is the grandfather. He studied in the best economical schools of Europe and is now my trade advisor, he is a man of great vision. And he was the man behing every word of this treaty...

Your Graces:

We find ourselves in a desperate situation. As we inquired as to joining the CETP, the Hansa asked of our intentions. They put a great deal of pressure on us, and we resigned. We now beg of you to accept us into the CETP as soon as you may, as soon as your council is set up.

Humbly,
Duke Otto

Duke Albrecht listens to the letter from the duke of Holstein being read.

"Sirs I fear that the Duke may be right about the Hansa. My representative there thinks that the mood may not be all that conductive to the CETP. It seems it may be of some urgency that Holstein comes to Wurzburg before the three months is up...."

 

[I Killed Kenny]

After lisening to the duke of Bavaria the archbishop says

You are correct Duke Albercht, I as host of this meeting I shall send a letter to the duke of Holstein

So the archbishop goes to his room and starts writing...

 

[unmerged(5730)]

[x] Signed, Albrecht V von Wettin, Elector of Saxony, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, Duke of Saxe-Wittenberg, Duke of Saxe-Laurenberg, Margrave of Meissen, Landgrave of Thüringa, Count of Aue, Protector of the Saxons, Archmarshall of the Holy Roman Empire, Rightful Duke of Branschweig-Lüneburg, Grand Cross of the Order of St: Georg and the Dragon, Prince of the Order of Henry The Lion, Leader of The Wettins.

Thank you my friends,

The Hansa has grown even more aggressive. I believe I may be able to persuade Mecklemburg to vote against their new measure. The measure being, of course, to impose a naval blockade on my ports, charge an 80% tariff, etc. I suppose the land trade route was a better idea.

Pardon me for my ignorance, but are the Bohemians at this conference? If not, might we persuade them to be? They are certainly a regional power.

Looking suprised the archbishop replies

Sorry heer, but who are you? I see that you use the Holstein Banner... I would like you to inform us who you are... please
If you are the representative of Hosltein, I ask that you sign the Treaty with the CETP now, so know with you in this alliance we may fully protect you

 

[unmerged(25591)]

Surely. I am Etienne Rousseau, and I speak for Duke Otto IV of Holstein.

[x]Signed, Duke Otto IV of Holstein, Duke of Schleswig, Duke of Holstein

 

[unmerged(25591)]

Now that that is done, I ask for protection against the military actions of the Hansa to the best abilities of the other members of the Pact. I believe a blockade would be considered an act of war?

Herr Rousseau, I ask that Holstein do not do anything without the consence of the CETP, we are all united here. The Hansiatic league is now pressing for war, we will not go for war! That is not legal in the empire!We shall go by the proper ways, not the violent ways! Do your and your duke understand me?

 

[unmerged(25591)]

We understand perfectly. We only ask for protection if attacked. Of course, we are making our case to the Emperor now. Any help would be welcome.

Herr, you are correct if any country in the world, including an Hansa member declares war on Holstien, we will protect Holstein!

 

[unmerged(25591)]

I ask for a loan from the CETP to build a fleet...we will not allow our sovereignty to be violated.

 

[unmerged(24249)]

I am not sure if other states will agree but I can say for state of Baden that we are willing to give you loan but only for escorts of your ships to preserve martial bulle.

Yes margrave you are correct, Wurzburg in this moment can not loan any money, because of plans for the good of the pact. But I too ask that you do not enter in any agreessive moves with the hansa! you are risking this all alliance

 

[unmerged(25591)]

All right...well, we do not need a fleet, as we do not intend to fight, so consider the request canceled.
