Disclaimer; I do not feel this way about any race or people I am just using such words as idiot and ignorant to describe races so that I sound a little more like a crazed conquer which quite frankly I'm not.
Attention all non-Russians you have a choice to make. One you can hand over your land, money, and freedom to my servant Ivan III the high lord of Russia, or well I can take all those things and no doubt a few hundred thousand lives while doing such. The answer seems to be no from everyone.
I will make this brief if you’re not Russian and you’re not Orthodox than good riddance I say. Ivan III was the first Russian Tsar to "let" me "guide" him. Well Russia and its people don't seem to mind it’s the rest of the world that has a considerable problem with me and my polices.
I am a sub human being and that is all you need to know about who I am. The Russians of Moscow refer to me as satins envoy, but then they always have been rather daft. I expect that I will stick around this Russia place for about 4 centuries before going off to some other area. Another point about me if something is not being destroyed or pillaged then generally I am not in a good mood. A fair warning to the Russian peasants.
The first policy that I handed out to the people of the world in 1492 was that if you live in Kazan and don't like the way I handle affairs then you are bound to die. This more or less means that I declared war upon Kazan and started to burn everything I could get my legion’s hands on in June of 1492. The first war of "cleansing" went very well with Kazan joining the Russian union only seven months after its start.
I am not the kind of person who forgets their long term goal easily that was the reason why on the same day Kazan entered Russia (October 7 1492) I declared war on the worthless pigs in the land owned by the Golden Horde. I hate those people the most at this point. Evil little horseback riding demons. The large sized army they had prepared in Samara to fend off my 42 thousand legions did nothing at all and was promptly pounded into the ground. This made me very happy and while the good mood lasted I improved a few forts around Moscow so it people would not die right away if someone attacked. Humph they still say I'm the devil's kin there annoying people.
The Golden Horde joined the Russian empire to mixed feelings on July 7 1493. I would say I am making good progress would you? A decent amount of the Eastern European trade is in my merchant's hands despite Polish attempts to cripple my economy. I must remember to bash the Poles around a bit next decade or so. I did not really want to stop my conquest spree as it seemed to be joining so well, but I simply could not keep up the current pace of recruiting soldiers.
My main fear for the future is that the peasants will rise up against my hard gained control. It seems in the country's current unstable state the poor folk are out for blood. Can't blame them though I would have already risen up in their position, but that’s just me. The nest races I decided have to die off tragically are those of the Teutonic Order, and Pskov. I need the coastline. Personally I would rather have started to blow the brains out of the ignorant Mongols.
Well I decide to throw about half the imperial Russian Army into these wars. This is about 23 thousand men. The people of Pskov have the good sense to let me annex them after one battle, ten thousand deaths, and 5 months. The people of Teutonic Order though tisk tisk annoying really. They decided to pester me during every siege and battle. While the tiny armies they kept throwing at my legions were not that effective they did slow down the war pace. It can as quite a pleasant day when the country finally after 12 and a half months of war decided to quit and join the union.
The plan for the coming years is to take and hold all land on earth not held by a non-Russian non-Orthodox country. Let’s see who gets to live. No one I suppose tooooo bad for them. First target is anything in Europe then I suppose I will work on taking all of those other parts of this Earth thing. Hmm perhaps I can find some of that cantaloupe thing that seems to be all the rave. What to do with land once I have it that is a good question? I think the answer is exploit, taunt, and be generally rude to its inhabitants. Anyone out there have a problem with that plan.
One question I was asked by one noble or another is what my foreign policy is. Well my response was something like to be insulting to anything that moves and does not drink vodka. He did not like this answer I suppose he is not fond of vodka. The nobles are starting to annoy me defecting to one country or another, and demanding more ducats. Well I say live with what you have or I will have the high executioner find a creative way to torture you.
I have decided to exploit the economy and let it go where it wants. I find that the only purpose it has is to fuel my war machine. I am pleased to say that Russians control trade in three major areas of Eastern Europe. It does not seem possible, but only 10 years have passed since my takeover of the Russians. The idiot Ivan III is still alive I do wonder when he will die off. The next decade will bring pleasant things I hope. Perhaps even the first war against the Poles will happen them.
Much thanks Sliver Legion
Russian Empire circa 1502. Just pretend you don't see that I am already at war with another country is that okay.
