Alexandros Kostopoulos writes a letter to the court Objecting to the Chancellors plan
I object to the chancellors plan on declaring war on Portugal. They are not the threat we should be worried about. Just recently Genoa has taken more land that creeps on our faithful ally the Byzantine Empire. They are aiming for Constantinople and they will not stop until they have it. Will this court allow them to take over the city of the east. The third most holyist place in Christendom outside of Rome and The holy land itself ?. We must deal with Genoa and then we will deal with Porutgal. But first we most deal with the threat that is on our doorsteps which is Genoa who is threatening to take over the city of our faithful ally.
Getting More colonies can not be more important than defending our ally and we know The Greedy Doge of Genoa will see the war with Portugal as a chance to strike our ally and take over the city of Constantinople while we are busy with the war with Portugal. So with this I object to the Chancellors plan on the grounds that declaring war on Portugal is not more important than defending our ally Byzantine. I also want to mention to this court that the provinces in West-Anatolia lands are worth more than colonies that we would get with the war with portugal Less stress in the long run because they will be of our relgion and thus we will not have to deal with Barbaric people that will prevent us from getting all the benefits from the land itself. Although in this case we will be making our ally stronger by giving them the land we take from Genoa.
I object to making the knights our vassals. Although they are a holy order and deserve our protection. We can do it in other ways by simply allying them or guaranteeing them. we do not need to make them our vassals at all.
So I urge this court to reconsider.. The real threat is Genoa who are aiming to take our allies city of Constantinople can not allow that to happen. We must also reclaim the lands in West Anatolia and give them to our ally like we did with epirus. you saw how happy they were when we did that.. Can you imagine how happy they will be if they got the west Anatolia land ?. as The representative from Byzantium I urge this court to help our ally with the threat of Genoa by declaring war on Genoa for the West Anatolia lands and giving them to our ally at the end of the war.
