We regret that we must place this burden upon the people of Hispania, but we request your aid in our war with Austria. The Austrians have proven themselves to be a treacherous people, something Hispanians should understand more than most. Once they were a core member of the Quadruple Entente, but their actions during your most troubling times has proven them incapable of truly supporting their allies. That is why we have refused to renew our old alliance and now see ourselves at war with the Austrians. It is time that Hispania made a choice. The Austrians cannot be trusted. Do not continue to allow yourselves to be tied to them. Join us, your most trusted ally, and we can build the basis of a stronger alliance bloc, one without Austria. We have already sent word to Scandinavia requesting assistance. We understand you still maintain ties to Austria, but Hispania must choose now. Will you side with Austria over France and destroy an alliance that has held for three centuries or will you stand strong beside us? We eagerly await your reply.
- His Imperial Highness, Emperor Charles VIII de Valois of France
((While doing some testing, I noticed that France will issue us a call-to-arms if we reject the Austrian one. So instead of having to play a few days of the playthrough if we reject Austria's request, I've decided to lump them together. Now we'll be voting later on whether to side with Austria or France. We can also choose to reject both call-to-arms. Keep in mind that regardless of our choice, one or both alliances will be broken.))
