Chapter 1
The year of 1835 was a year of planning...A year of war plans as a manner of fact.
King George IV was planning some expansion to italy even if his plans were only completed after his passing, the venetians and their large empire shall belong to England all he wanted was a united europe, a dream that has plaguued all english kings since the 1st world war of 1420
Counsel of lords, with the increase in fredom of his majestys servants, many of them were actualy captains who had risen from the ranks, however there were still some noble captains like Captain William
On his right side stood High marshal Kingman
who had served king and country with loyalty his entire life the same way his antcestors had, in fact, some people called him the "lesser king" because he enjoyed pretty much unlimmited power, while only answering to the king, even so he was getting increasingly worried of austrian egemony in european soil and beyond.
Mean while he shared his lieges desires to conquer the venetian kingdom, because they hold varios high population/high manpower provinces in europe aswell as many provinces scattered across the medterranean who had just been converted to catholicism witch was an even greater impulse to get those far away provinces since they would be of the right religion right away and they would make very good bases to keep watch on the middle east and to have some bases to attack austria on the back in case of a war
, He also aknowledged thet his alliance with the protestant Norway was a very important one seeing as they were also very advanced in the arms sector, however being protestant was something that somewhat "exalted" him seeing as he wanted a united europe not only in politics but in religion
King: Is everything ready ? are all the captains here?
Marshall: Yes sire. All accounted for.
King: Very good, Show them the maps of Europe.
Marshall: Here they are gentlemen. Look at them and see for your selves that austria is growing and has always been growing since the end of the big war that our antcestors fougth
Marshall: As you can see the Austrians are increasinngly pressing on to the east and their the only one who use the same guns as we do. Not only that but they have two not as big but still powerfull ally on their side, Prussia and Saxony.
One of the Captains: What about Venice and their empire, sir?
King: Nice question Lord William, Kingman explain our plans to the generals.
Mrshall Our plan is to Attack the venetians first, it shoudlnt be too hard to get a CB, all we need to do is send them a couple of gifts from our colonys and ask for a royal marriage, some time latter all we are going to do is claim that their city state belong to us and if they dont oblige, they will face the fury of england.
Lord william: But why waste manpower, resources, time and money on these italians? Why not just go for the austrians right away? We could catch them off guard...
King: NO!!!! If we declare war on austria we will get in a war far more bigger than we could handle, what we need is for the venetians to unite with us, even if it takes 20 years, their big empire will brings the much needed money for the war, this is a plann that will continue with my son and i hope you all advise him to continue it no matter what:
Marshall: Indeed! If we were to attack the austrians right away, not only would we start a war of the same calibtre than that of 400 years ago, but we could also gett atacked by may country who would jump in as soon as we started showing empty pockets. What was suposed to be a small colonial war with the venetians turned out into a war that engolfed the whole world, and that was with those old ships and weiopons not to mention worse communication, if such a thing were to happen again in this time of our millenia, i woudnt know what would hapen to us, the austrians, venetians, not to mention our colonys, and all the worlds gereat powers outside of europe, we would plunge back into the dark ages just for a mere mistake.
No Never!!!!!!
Image of the 1st world war of 1420, this war lasted untill 1520 nonstop, a classical war of my neighbour is at war, attack him!!!! that spread throught the whole world, not even the african pagans nations excaped, the whole world was in falmes for those 100 years.
(in game terms i spent something like 25~30k dennars, i had to spend all the mercenary pool just to keep my borders safe untill my manpower could replenish. and what did i got from all of this? well, max war exhaustion, 5 or 6 debts(had to mint for a while...), some revolts and a lot of colonies gained.
ALL countrys were involved except China who was in a civil war 2 times!!!! and the pagan american nations.
Lord William: Very well then what is your plan Marshall?
Marshal: Ok this is my plan. For now we shall wait a some time so that the international community starts forgetting our little "visits" in Iberia, meanwhile well be offering gifts as "compensations" to all venetians, because of our conquests in Iberia towards their vassals, the spanish and our expansions in Italy. After we see fit we shall offer the kings son in marriage with the venetian`s daughter, we should also keep on sending gifts to make them feel confindent that all we want is a happy dance in their palace
.
King: So far i have enjoyind it but lets talk about the intersting part that my son will take in this plan.
Marshall: Very well. Gentelmen as we know as soon as their married we have claims to their holdings
Now all we need is to discuss the war plans.
Lord William after speaking with another capatain(*interrupts the speach*):
But why discuss them now my lord? If we are going to do battle against them why npt discuss it latter?
Marshall: Because by the time we are ready we have to be prepared, by the time i send you the orders, you wont have to go back, you cn start conquering right away as soon as the war starts instead of coming to the capital to discuss pre-war plans, withc will make our war last some months longer, instead each of you will get some envelopes with nombers on them, only open them as soon as the war starts, then open them with the apropriatte order and only after said order has been completed, example, milan-->venice-->ragusa.
Now here are my plans(brings in two new maps with the same geography but with some new additions of arrows, directions and everything a war plan map need t be understood). We should also be at war with spain seeing as they are their vassals so we should also take that into account
Youl notice that some provinces of their wont be attacked, thats because we probanly wont need to attack those in order to accept their vassalization
Lord William: But i thought were were going to conquer not vassalize them!!!!!!
Marshall: As you all know this is the age of communication and every war, attack, defense, marriage,etc.. does not go unoticed, so if we simpy went there and anned them we would get the worst standing in the international community, instead i plan on taking lisbon and one or 2 italian provinces to us while keeping the rest intact but vassalized, next we should sned them gifts to show them that everything isnt lost even if their our vassals, who know maybe they will even ally us
Alright this is ur second war map but it just shows that we are just planning to attack the european privinces as well as only a few north african catholic provinces, many provinces in the east, catholic or not should remain intact and if attacked, should be nothing more than raiding partys to destroy their income.
Alright gentlemn gather around, here are your envelops with your orders.
Remeber, only open them when you receive order to do so, i dont care if it has been 1, 2,3, 10 or 50 years, do what your told and this plan cant fail got it?
Your all dismissed, got to your palaces, and enjoy the day off gentlemen, enjoy the sweet pleasures of living in a great empire that is ours.
Please, feast drink, and stay at least for the night
And so it was that King George IV in an accept to impress all guests made all servants serve the finest meats from america on plates made from gold of the brazilian mines with indian jewelry decoration as well as with a show of exotic dancers
from far away lands
