GREAT CONTINENTAL WAR​

GREAT ENGELLEXIC AND FEDERATION FORCES

PREUTI-BORUSSIAN AND GREAT SEA THEATRES OF WAR​

GRAND OFFENSIVE LAUNCHED

MONTELIMARIAN CAMPAIGN COLLAPSING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY

War Dispatches confirms the Battle of Dion is won; Battle of Lille continues; and the Battle of Valmy has begun.

The Battle for Lille went into its sixth week on Thursday with renewed Engellexic attacks on a grand scale. New divisions of the VII Corps, Second Great Engellexic Army, were acknowledged by the War Ministry to be assailing the Montelimarian lines over thousands of dead soldiers. No estimate of the casualties from Great Engellex were released, but defenders of the North-Eastern Frontier and Lille had been reinforced with considerable number of armoured units. In Central Montelimar the Battle of Dion has seen the XIV Corps seize control of the North-Central region, Montelimar’s last major central stronghold. A perception to the significance of the control of Dion may be obtained from the fact that a Grand Offensive is now engaged against a broad Southern Front, with the offensive focused on Valmy, the Montelimarian Capital. If the city of Lille falls, the Battle of Montelimar will be obliterated. Engellexic strategy will likely be to overwhelm the East and South and drive ahead to control points including Fontaine-Harcourt. The European Defence Federation’s ability to field offensives in Preuti-Borussia will be permanently obstructed through lack of the Westerns members able to support any such operations.

The only encouragement to unfortunate civilians caught in the War of Preuti-Borussian Liberation in this week’s Parliamentary Press Dispatches were an announcement of arrival of emergency medical and food requirements at Mormant and Nimes, sent by the Engellexic Red Cross and the Anglican Church of Engellex, and War Dispatches confirming that the Engellexic offensives in the West has wrestled control and decimated the enemy position all the way to Galets. The Western Offensive was the original ground offensive and has been engaged since the very beginning, the news will somewhat relieve the pressures on the Engellexic forces in the West. This news also demonstrates the desperate situation in which Montelimar, and the Federation, finds itself within to-day. The Kingdom of Montelimar has lost the Western Region, centred on Mormant, Nimes, Bordeaux and Fecamp, and has also lost the North-Central Region that is centred on Dion. The great industrial heartlands of Montelimar have been damaged, with the production and supply of iron ore, pig iron and coal being severely obstructed. The enemy’s Re-Armament Campaign will certainly ground to a halt in several weeks as the Air Campaign puts a renewed emphasis to permanently destroy the enemy’s ability to construct armour, aircraft and ordnance. The fall of Lille will ensure the occupation of Montelimar’s agricultural lands, increasing pressures on the Federation as Parliament debates putting a ten year agricultural embargo on the Federation.

Hundreds of thousands of people who, caught in the swift Engellexic offensive of August, had evacuated Eastwards, are being returned to refugee camps in the West. As a result of the migration, it is believed industrial production and other sectors of the Montelimarian economy will not be sufficient to sustain the nation through the approaching winter.

Despite the hardships of the Great Continental War, there is no sign that Great Engellex has lost any of its determination to fight to victory and independence of the United Nations. A third of the women are working for the war effort, and more than two-thirds of men – as much as 14 hours a day. One of the amazing things about this war has been the record set by the King William’s Imperial Military Medical Service. Eighty-seven percent of the wounded have been restored to action, and this figure expected to rise above ninety percent, as the War Ministry increases medical resources and scope dramatically.

WIESE AND TALEMANTROS​

GREAT ENGELLEX DIPLOMATICALLY ENGAGES TWO EMPIRES

Europe was already informed that the Southern Secretary is to meet his counterpart of the Talemantine Empire in Talemanki. To this interview is attached further political importance, as has now been informed that a Royal Commission was formed to participate in an interview in the Empire of Wiese, and the offensive launched by the Kingdom of Gorno-Altai against the Zadar-Istrian islands. That Great Engellex should be seen to privately engage Talemantros and Wiese diplomatically in the background of the Great Continental War is unprecedented. It will not be European so much as regional and economic affairs that will be before the Imperial Delegations and Ministers; and Great Engellex, though not normally engaged as such, will really have much more to say there than the two nations that sit on the edges of Europe’s greatest war. It is to be recollected, too, that the Federation is no longer to be remarked as the superpower of Europe, or even an alliance of Great Powers, but is inclined to further its own decline of European importance through irrationality and false illusions of grandeur. The conference in Wiese will deliberate on one subject, as confirmed from a source from the Northern Department, the most effective means of securing the partnership of Wiese with Great Engellex in the Great Continental War. The plan for carrying out the Talemantine diplomatic projects have been, the Parliamentary Press have been assured, fully agreed upon and matured at Talemanki.

At first, the prime object will not be so much co-operation of the European Defence Federation Front, as the formation of a strong Joint Defence Committee. The JDC will form the foundation in which the military accord between Great Engellex and Talemantros will be introduced. It has been rumoured that Talemantros insists that economic interests shall have a part in the deliberations, which will give greater guarantees to the sincerity of any treaties on defence between Dulwich and Talemanki, and put more emphasis on Long Sea diplomacy for Dulwich. In order to accommodate this point it is to be negotiated that an agreement to strengthen and expand oil imports from Talemantros while exchanging the same considerations to agricultural exports from Engellex.

POTENZA​

The settlement of economic relations between Great Engellex and Potenza has again engaged some considerable attention in the imperial metropolis of Dulwich. The dispatches of Potenza to Dulwich, which was positively assured by the President of the Board of Public Trade, is an exceedingly encouraging document to economic prospects for both nations, and is remarkably quiet with respect to the position of Potenza in the Great Continental War. The agreement was stated to be a perfect production to many important economic questions that remained unsettled between them. Included in the agreement included the reduction of tariffs, and the complete removal of such on Engellexic agricultural imports and automobile imports from Potenza. The full summary of points in the articles is to be published by the Parliamentary Stationary Office on 5 November.

GORNO-ALTAI ENTERS THE WAR

MONTELIMARIAN CAMPAIGN COLLAPSING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY

War Dispatches details new advances in Lille and Valmy; Air Campaign over Zadar-Istrian Islands.

As Engellexic and Montelimarian tanks continued their bitter struggle over the city and plains of Lille, the Royal Engellexic Air Force fighters carried out almost continuous bombing operations against the concentrations of enemy armour and artillery positions. Reinforced from the arrival of the 7th (Walssex-Battent) Division, General Sir Gordan Ludwick Viscount Ambroise’s 29th Armoured Division returned to an advance against the enemy’s rear south of Lille. Viscount Ambroise’s major effort was at the right flank of the Horse Grenadier Guards line in Lille, where troops were taking the brunt of Montelimarian counterattacks. War dispatches from the Ministry of War issued to-day said the REAF participated in extensive operations over the city of Lille and the entire surrounding province where the Montelimarians were trying to push Engellexic forces out of Lille, and the North-East. Dispatches from the front noted that the favourable conditions of industrial and agricultural productions in Lille had almost collapsed following the intensive air campaigns and increasing numbers of refugees.

Expected positive news came from the Valmy-Southern Front as an unexpected Montelimarian counter offensive from Charleville failed for the most part in bringing relief to the beleaguered Valmy and Barcle-Duc. Despite enemy counterattacks on the southern front near Charleville, the Great Engellexic Army were able to manoeuvre armoured and infantry divisions on a grand scale, as well as the First Air Wing, into an intensive advance on Valmy. The battalions of the 16th Infantry Division have responded to a slight increase of civilian resistance in Eastern Dion, and the rural North-East of Dion. Engellexic troops had reached an industrial estate within the north-eastern district that is twelve miles from Central Valmy.
The enemy’s military resistance had withstood a constant hammering north-east of Valmy, near Barcle-Duc, and had delivered strong blows against the Engellexic flank, west of Barcle-Duc; General Sir Roland Gaucher acknowledged the dispatches by stating that the Engellexic Army was annihilating a stubborn enemy.

Frustrated by the conditions placed against the Federation by Engellexic victories in Preuti-Borussia, Gorno-Altai entered the war to try and reinforce a sinking ship, and busied themselves by pounding away at the Zadar-Istrian islands. Though the tempo of the Altai offensive had increase there were strong indications that the traps set by the Imperial Command in Zadarska for Zadar-Istria had effected huge losses on the enemy’s air power. Particularly was the Altaic Tornado fighter wing. At least twenty enemy fighters had been destroyed in the Zadarska encounter, and while Gorno-Altai can and will deploy additional aircraft from Himyar it appears that the Imperial Command had won the first round in this struggle for air superiority over the islands.
Dispatches from the Lord Commissioner’s Office lacked reports of bombing and harrassing runs against Zadarska targets, by the Imperial General Staff were not assuming that Gorno-Altai’s air power had been permanently repelled.

GREAT ENGELLEX TO INTRODUCE INTERIM AUTHORITY IN WESTERN MONTELIMAR

When the King of Montelimar and the Government departed from Valmy to Fontaine-Harcourt, following the Grand Offensive, the monarch’s departure virtually eliminated the legitimacy of that Crown and Government in Montelimar, as recognised by her Majesty the Queen-Empress. It was also seen as an opposition to any negotiations of peace that will ensue in Valmy, succeeding the fall of that city. Imperial delegates from Dulwich have been negotiating the formation of an interim authority, to ensure a smooth transition on the conclusion of peace, in Mormant. The Northern Secretary Secretary, Sir Anthony Pelham-Holles, addressed to the Commons Assembly that the Valéry Giscard Pompidou, a former ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the Court at Dulwich, had been approached by her Majesty’s Ministers for the purpose of endorsing his introduction to the leadership of the interim government. If succeeded, it was confirmed that Pompidou will hold three portfolios to reinforce a central figure within the establishment. As the strong man of post-war Montelimar, he is regarded as a staunch advocate of the reintroduction of Great Engellex into continental affairs and of a new balanced European Order, especially in Preuti-Borussia.

Anticipating close and harsh criticism by ministers of the Federation and the former royalty of Montelimar, Pompidou declared in Mormant that his assumption of the three ministerial portfolios will not result in any submission of post-war Montelimar to exterior influences, but of assertion of new found independence of the kingdom. However, the King of Montelimar’s retreat from Valmy, additionally with the decision of Pompidou to accept inclusion within the interim government, has been widely interpreted within Parliament as presaging an Engellexic election of a new Royal Family of Montelimar. Information had been confirmed that the city of Mormant will be central to the introduction of the interim authority in Montelimar.

 

[Euskadi]

Whether under the present King or one chosen by the Queen in Dulwich, Montelimarians will still live in a monarchy, don't Montelimarian's deserve better. Didn't the war prove that, on the one hand it was a monarch that failed to protect them, and on the other hand, it was a monarch that he failed to protect them from. Shouldn't now there be a more democratic, less aristocratic form of government be formed in Montelimar, one in which the people choose amoung themselves who will lead them, not one that is chosen for them or one born to the position.

Wightland Alarmed By Cantigny Move

Provincial Assembly Member, and leader of the Conservative Association of Wightland, Linda Johnson opened the controversial debate with a question to-day on exchanges with Dulwich on Cantigny.

PORT WANDSWORTH, NOVEMBER 12. - Linda Johnson presented resolutions of the Conservative Association of Wightland proposing that Engellexic Parliamentary Privilege be extended to the Cantigny Relations Bill, which is for a formal policy to be outlined by the Lord Commissioner of Wightland and presented to the Provincial Assembly that will set the boundaries in which Cantigny should expect to extend itself in Wightland before being formally opposed.

The Conservative Association of Wightland, which is a right-leaning political party holding the largest public subscription in Wightland, has historically promoted and encouraged close association with Great Engellex and Cantigny, but recently found itself against what it called Pax Cantignia in the Implaric-Oceanic Territory. Alarmed by the surrendering of Karoskland to Cantigny, the Conservatives have campaigned on implementing tax reforms and increases to offset the expense of the realms' defence to Great Engellex, and therefore encourage Dulwich to increase its military presence in Wightland.

Linda Johnson brought attention to the subject before next Wednesday's debate in to-day's session :- What recent representations has the Lord Commissioner received from her Majesty's Ministers in Dulwich on Wightland's Cantigny relations bill? The Minister for European Affairs responded by stating :- The Ministers of Wightland and Great Engellex regularly hold frank and bilateral discussions with each other, and the Lord Commissioner regularly holds discussions with the Queen-Empress. When Gorno-Altai declared war on Great Engellex, Anthony Pelham-Holles, the Northern Secretary, phoned his Grace the Lord Commissioner in October, he stated; In the Implaric-Oceanic Territory strong political consolidation and unity of Engellexic realms is essential to maintain regional stability, given the region's substantial interference by the Federation and the dissolution of the Pasila Accord.

Linda Johnson then asked whether Dulwich made any recommendations on the intention of Vesper to reinforce the Wightland Islands with a Cannie military presence. The Minister stated that no recommendation had been received, and that the Northern Secretary affirmed that Great Engellex continuously revises its military commitments to meet security needs.

The Whig Party of Wightland advised members of the Provincial Assembly to abandon suspicion of Cantigny intentions toward the islands. Andreas Jorgansen, leader of the Whig Party, implored the Minister for European Affairs to seek an understanding with his counterpart in Vesper that would recognise the popular sentiment of the people of Wightland. He stressed that Vesper should be in receipt of our political support for her heroic actions in Karoskland, however, they must acknowledge our collective will and determination to continue our process of achieving self-determination from Dulwich.

THE Covenant is of the eternal persuasion that the modern differences which separate the Engellexic Empire, specifically economic and military assets, should never undermine the common skin, blood, and establishment which have bound this Empire together for centuries. But even at optimum performance, the Engellexic Armed presence in Wightland cannot effectively defend the genetic wealth occupying the Island, or logistically support a Force for Defence native to the Engellexic Island.

Lord Chancellor Felix Ilchester feels compelled to preserve our race and hoist Her Majesty's flag higher and prouder than ever by making one fact perfectly clear: Wightland will not become another Karoskland, aroused by bastards ideologies ; Wightland will not become another Zadar-Istria, seen by our enemies as a weak and vulnerable target.

Self-determination to the degree that we perceive certain Provincial Assembly Members of Wightland might seek is simply not realistic at this tumultuous juncture. Brave men and women in uniform are dying, bleeding our common blood, for the continued health and prosperity that Wightland has reaped the benefits from for so many years. Cantignia believes in the intellectual strength of the Provincial Assembly, and can at all times guarantee that their concerns will be heard by elements of the Oceanic Covenant.

Wightland, specifically able-bodies men and women, will be prepared for the war that very well may come as a consequence of our superior race and reason. Armed Forces of the Covenant that have instructed Karosklanders on the doctrinal defence of modern warfare will assist Wightland with the very same tenacity that they would with Cannie commissions and recruits. A peaceful Oceania can only be achieved through the promotion of White Engellexic leadership, so smaller Islands such as Wightland may achieve the same power and self-determination that Cantignia has through toil and training.

Forward Cantigny!

GORNO-ALTAI REFUSES PEACE

MONTELIMARIAN CAMPAIGN COLLAPSING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY

War Dispatches details the Fall of Lille and the Battle of Valmy; Air and Naval Campaign over Zadar-Istrian Islands Continues.

The Great Engellexic North-Eastern Montelimar Campaign has unfolded in a victorious two month-long pattern: City of Lille stormed. The 7th Infantry Division, the 29th Armoured Division and the Horse Grenadier Guards beat their way through the urban jungle of metropolitan Lille, with the 29th Armoured forcing the enemy lines out of the North-East. The big guns of the Royal Artillery Regiments battered at the enemy’s faltering supply lines. Airmen of the Royal Engellexic Air Force gave courage and strength to ground forces by bombing and gunning enemy infantry and armour positions. After seven weeks of intense fighting, a critically wounded Montelimarian division stood south of Lille, to guard the rear of the collapsing military resistance that was retreating, against the overwhelming air and ground superiority of Great Engellex. As the 29th Armoured Division neared its final push against the enemy in the south of the Lille Province, air reconnaissance confirmed that Montelimarian troops were withdrawing from the North-East through the Blueridge Mountains.

With the bulk of the Engellexic three divisions bearing down through Lille to encompass the last enemy communication lines, which supported the overwhelming resistance, running through the south, and with the Second Air Wing pulverizing concentrations of enemy positions, the line against the enemy was drawn close. Hewn into the rugged country, Montelimarian strongholds put up a bitter resistance against the advancing soldiers of Engellex, machine-gunning and intense use of ordnance against soldiers progressing through the craggy hills toward the Blueridge Mountains. Wherever the enemy fell back, the roads were sabotaged with ordnance to slow down the advance and cover their retreat.

The Ministry of War confirmed the Battle of Lille :- though conclusive, the margin was very close. On the Montelimarian Front, the Federation has exhausted the fullest resources of Montelimar and lost the capability here.

With Dijon and Lille at their backs, Engellex’ surging armies closed in on the once great cultural metropolis of Valmy. All along the Southern Front, Montelimarian troops were falling back to new positions before the powerful advance of the Engellexic divisions could firmly obliterate their efforts and bring them to surrender. Once considered the centre of the Federation’s cultural pride, Valmy, like Lille, was quickly being reduced. The industrial heartland of the city, once busy turning out armour and armaments for the Montelimarian military, was now a desperate ruin.

A week after the capture of Dijon, the Engellexic Army secured use of a rail line running from the West to the East - Bordeaux to Strasbourg. This will allow for the better management of the refugee crisis, the Ministry of War confirmed.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS WITH WIESE AND GORNO-ALTAI

With European events moving in a swift and momentous current, the smart old aristocrat, Viscount Palmerston as the Northern Minister bridged Central Borussia to arrive in the Empire of Wiese for his first meeting with the Imperial Government of Augbsurg.

As the Crown Commission, lead by Palmerston, sat down with the Imperial Cabinet at the same table for the most important of their conferences in the 21st century, Lille buckled and was captured, Gorno-Altai entered the war against Great Engellex, rumours were rifle that Dulwich was to twist the arm of Bangleann for peace in Saamiskavia, and Vangala was making an effort to bring Carentania and the Federation together for peace, with a sacrifice of her own principles. The desperation of the Federation to open another front in Europe, by extending the conflict to the Long Sea and Northern Himyar, saw Gorno-Altai attempt to remove Great Engellex from the Zadar-Istrian Islands. Viscount Palmerston confirmed that these matters were all discussed in Wiese.

Since returned, the Northern Minister held a press briefing outside Parliament in Dulwich. He confirmed that preliminaries had been discussed and agreed on for negotiations of peace to take place between the Federation and Great Engellex. Palmerston also confirmed that his counterpart in Wiese had been informed that any arrangement for a peace treaty with the Federation will be without effect on the war with Gorno-Altai, and stressed that :- due to the Government of Gorno-Altai having rejected a third overture for peace, Great Engellex was by no means obliged to assume any peace treaty to be extended to Gorno-Altai. Formal negotiations with that (Gorno-Altaist) Government have been suspended by that government, and recognised as suspended by her Majesty’s Ministers.

As Viscount Palmerston reported on the events in Wiese, the Northern Secretary, Anthony Pelham-Holles, publicly announced the terms presented to Gorno-Altaist Government for peace.

Terms included :- 1. The resignation of Gorno-Altai from the European Defence Federation.
2. The acceptance of two and half billion pounds sterling of war reparations to be paid by Gorno-Altai for war damages, and 3. Discussion of demobilization of the Gorno-Altaist Navy, with the internment of ships engaged against Zadar-Istria.

As Gorno-Altai refuses to negotiate peace, the Royal Engellexic Navy continued its prepartions of a Carrier Task Force in Engellex for deployment to Zadar-Istria.

 

[Frescania]

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

We strongly disapprove of any kind of invasion upon Gorno-Altai by Engellex. Not only were the peace terms extremely punitive against a nation that does not have the capacity to project power, but they are created for Gorno-Altai to reject. There is no conscious sovereign state that would agree to such demands without a complete defeat.

Frescania calls on Engellex to not send task force against Gorno-Altai. This will be seen by Frescania and many other nations as Engellex following on the footsteps of its Talemantine allied: that of imperialism. The Republic will not allow northern troops upon Himyar.

If Gorno-Altai is attacked by Engellex, we will respond in kind by expanding our war efforts in the North and invade Bantyr.

The Kingdom of Sørlandeten wishes to inform the Kingdom of Great Engellex that it shall continue to supply the vital resources of oil during the course of the current engagements as per the agreements struck in the past occasion. The Kingdom of Sørlandeten extends its congratulations to its friend and ally in the success on the battlefield.

The People's Republic of Havenshire formally protests the implicit threat of millitary force being levied against Gorno-Altai, and wish to register our displeasure with the Kingdom of Engellex over its actions by withdrawing diplomatic representatives from your country untill the ultimatum delivered to Gorno-Altai is revoked, or we recieve strong assurances that no overt millitary action will be taken unprovoked against Gorno-Altai.

Ambassador to Engellex

 

[Euskadi]

Atzerriko Bulego
Foreign Office

It has become increasingly obvious to the Euskadi Republic that the government of Engellex has entered into peace negotiations with Gorno-Altai in bad faith as the terms make no mention to an end of hostilities entered into by the Talementine Empire and are designed to further weaken Gorno-Altai against such an assault.

THE Covenant is succumb with incredulous disappointment towards the Republic of Frescania, and so many other opportunistic cabals spread across an increasingly impure Europe, who would rather exonerate Gorno-Altai (the aggressor) then commend Great Engellex (the agrieved), who has done nothing but promote peace at every juncture.

Both the pure and tainted blood of thousands will be stained in to the dark hands of Frescanians if its terrible threats are backed with military action in two theaters of war. For only by some peaceful breakdown of Gorno-Altai's insanity will Himyar remain untouched by the cowardly violence Gorno-Altai brought upon the Engellexic Race.

Talemantros has reacted with nobility, as Cantignia would, if the True Peace were broken by a Rogue Nation scrambling to please the European Defence Federation and its exclusive club of warmongers and tax-collectors. The Gorn-Altai regime represents a breakdown of civilization instigated by the Defence Federation of Europe, where the diabolical act of one of its minions would turn Frescania against Talemantros, and ultimately redirect attention from the EDF's persecution of racial and religious elements of the Solaris People.

DULWICH, MONDAY, 14th NOVEMBER 2011

The Right Honourable The Secretary of State has received the Command of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress to make known the following gracious Statement of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty to the European Community.​

An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.

TO THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY

I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;

The Frescanian’s ignorant and suggestive statement, as well as those of the European community, on peace negotiations with Gorno-Altai and the Naval Task Force destined for Zadar-Istria, does not seem to have provoked the discussion and expression of opinion by the Queen-Empress’ Ministers and Parliament which were, no doubt, expected to manifest out this poorly researched publication. The Frescanian Minister, and, indeed, those of Havenshire, Vangala and others, believes the determination of Great Engellex for an invasion on Gorno-Altai quite possible, but does not enlarge on its probability; and, indeed, the Minister is a little disposed more so than others to exaggerate on this circumstance, not only from his dangerous efforts in the Saamiskavian War, but having aligned the Republic of Frescania so closely with the European Defence Federation that it leaves speculation on precedence between the Accord and the Federation.

The likelihood of an Engellexic invasion is, in truth, a matter on which the best-informed should prudently pause before they speak confidently; for it depends not merely on the feelings of the Engellexic people, but on the nature of the policy which the Lord Commissioner of Zadar-Istria may recommend to the Ministers of the Queen-Empress.

If, as is not only possible but probable, a military despotism should once more sway the destinies of Himyar, an invasion of Gorno-Altai could hardly be more expensive, and might be less alluring to an offended power, than is the present occupation of Montelimar. But still more difficult to settle than the probability of a Engellexic invasion, is the question :- To what extent will Himyar be re-colonized before the loyalties of the Federation’s partners in Fortaleza Real be burdened by popular opposition and anchored by guilt? The Republic of Frescania seems opposed to the obligation of Dulwich to support Crown Subjects in Zadar-Istria through the reinforcement of its sovereignty against a persistently dangerous and irrational host in North Himyar, and its opposition, being that of a degree of obvious puppetry, would be believed to carry some weight with it.

The Frescanian Minister proposes, rather, that the present persecution of the Zadar-Istrian peoples by the Federation’s satellite in Himyar should be tolerated and accepted by the European community. The Frescanian Minister is doubtless aware that this could scarcely be accomplished without a change in the Establishment of Dulwich, very much resembling the complete corruption of the moral fibre in which the societies of Great Engellex have thrived on. But the advantage, I presume, in the minister’s mind is that, by his doing, you would have the Federation obliged to act in a defensive capacity in time of war for Himyar, and yet Himyar, in time of peace, would be employed in a necessary and indispensable capacity. Much like a protectorate.

You should allow me to breach this speculation which seems to lie rather out of my province, after all, Dulwich has not sponsored military adventures into Himyar in its history; and will permit me to bring up a plan which has been once suggested before, and which embodies the principles of self-determination that those of Himyar profess to hold, without entailing the inconvenience of destructive military excursions. Instead of adding pressures of a conflict entanglement, which is folly, to a diplomatic argument, would it not be possible to add diplomatic pressures to the cessation of Gorno-Altai’s war? This would mitigate the vast expense of a military occupation of a political problem, which this is - a situation of the Federation establishing political puppetry over Himyari states. It is understood that some realms in Europe found the use of a diplomatic system beneficial, and although the Frescanian Minister’s preference for conflict is acknowledged, it would be most agreeable to find a preference in something more constructive.​

By the Grace of GOD, of the UNION of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS, through the SECRETARY of STATE, Sir ANTHONY PELHAM-HOLLES​

Sir Anthony Pelham-Holles,
Secretary of State
Dulwich, Great Engellex

Sir,​

Götarike finds this latest communique from Great Engellex to avoid the heart of the matter and merely finds itself weaving a web of distrust and muckraking as it attempts to sully both the name of Frescania and the Karlskrona Accord. The simple fact of the matter is that Karlskrona has no relation to the European Defense Federation, yet there has been one constant; that the Union of Great Engellex has consistently attempted to push Karlskrona into the Federation's camp. It is without a doubt a consistent role that Engellex has forced upon Karlskrona, from Engellex's folly in baiting declarations of war from Karlskrona, and openly criticizing Karlskrona members for upholding the treaties and conventions that bind our nations together in alliance. Great Engellex's own obvious support of the Celtic nations which also indulge themselves in imperialistic behavior could even show a double standard in Dulwich. Yet, that is not the heart of the issue, not entirely. If Engellex believes it is, then it clearly misses the point of the previous Frescanian communique.

Pointing out the clear purpose of the communique, Great Engellex has placed an importance upon the survival of the Bantyric state in its current format and styling. That being an abusive regime that ruthlessly attacked a civilian population in Götarike. Engellex cannot hope to defend the Bantyric position if it wishes to make any sort of case against humanity committed by the Altai. In turn as it stands, Engellex is stepping into the Frescanian sphere of influence, much how Engellex is at odds with Frescanian interference in what Engellex believes is her, sphere of influence. To violate this sphere in Himyar, the Frescanian state simply states, gives an "open season" to attacking the Bantyric state.

As a result, the Frescanian state, and that of the Karlskrona Accord makes it clear, that any aggressive campaign made by the Union of Great Engellex upon Altai, will open the doors to any major operations for the Karlskrona Accord to operate without hesitation against our foes in Bantyr.

That said, our Kingdom is at odds with your own policies as well. We feel that Great Engellex is operating as it sees fit, without care for the concerns of her Swedish neighbors. How can Götarike engage in any peace conference with Great Engellex and her allies without faith for the mutual benefit of our blocs? Great Engellex stands in a position where it is trying to have its cake and eat it too. Götarike cannot stand idle in her defense, while being handcuffed by Engellexic desires. Bring your Celtic camp into order immediately, else Götarike will bring it into order herself with the support of her trustworthy allies of the Karlskrona Accord.

There is no set timeline for this, merely our patience, which continues to run thinner. Götarike would like to continue our relations with friendly discourse and thus the confidentiality of this message. Yet, friendly discourse is not something that will run into the future post-EDF Europe, should Great Engellex not work with us in good faith today.​

Henne excellens Charlotte "Lotta" Öqvist

TO THE QUEEN, AND LORDSHIPS OF THE KINGDOM OF SUIONIA

Some light might presumably, though clearly optimistically, have been thrown on the questions of an Engellexic invasion of Gorno-Altai and the defence of the Zadar-Istrian islands by my last European letter. Unfortunately the Suionian Foreign Ministry does not seem to have understood that.

With that in mind, I have had the remarkable endurance of reading through your letter in response to mine, that was largely directed to the Frescanian exaggerations. There does not seem to be any relation at all on the important points expressed by your Frescanian counterpart and the overtures made by myself on behalf of her Majesty the Queen-Empress, which I did refer; and, indeed, a cursory inspection of your letter, leads to reflections of Suionia not being particularly favourable to diplomatic proceedings, or peace negotiations, which has occupied the situation in Northern Himyar since the first hour of Gorno-Alaist aggression.

No doubt it is desirable that a certain ventilation, so to speak, should be given to national frustrations; but it seems a pity that so much of the time of the Suionian Government should be spent in unprecedented destruction of regional political and economic confidence, which is really in need of valuable and worthwhile suggestions to once again found peace, stability and prosperity. The obvious remedy would be, to give the Bantyric Republic sincere assurances to reflect on the economic destruction of Saamiskavia and Preuti-Borussia, by Suionia’s leadership and abandonment of the Northern Council, for the purpose of rekindling the fires of northern industry at the conclusion of peace between all in Saamiskavia. Were this done, we should not find the Suionian Foreign Ministry author to unrealistic and aggressive communications to the Northern Department out of frustration.

What would be said of a conference which would be consisted only of the expression of mutual national grievances evidenced by the documented series of events that began earlier this year, without the coarse speeches of Suionian Ministers? There is not a selection of statesmen with such opportunities for the restoration of peace and prosperity as those engaged in the diplomatic wrangling of trying to effect negotiations for the Saamiskavian War. But what end is served by the extraordinary reluctance of Suionia to admit to its actions and judgements which, undoubtedly, reinforced the course of this war? Certainly not peace.​

By the Grace of GOD, of the UNION of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS, through the SECRETARY of STATE, Sir ANTHONY PELHAM-HOLLES​

Sir Anthony Pelham-Holles,
Secretary of State
Dulwich, Great Engellex

Sir,​

Surely Her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress understands the position of Götarike. You are either twisting our words or simply giving us a front for which to bargain something for.

We merely stand in defense of our ally's interests and that is the maintenance of peace in Himyar. To expand the conflict beyond that of Scandinavia and Gaul/Germania is to play with fire. Götarike fully understands that Great Engellex has not professed any concrete concern to launch an offensive into Himyar, yet we believe the Frescanians are covering all possibilities. We are worried about the Talemantine Empire tipping a balance of power in Himyar however.

We maintain that position and we maintain the possibility of the threat levied by our Frescanian allies in relation to the Bantyric. Bantyr is in a position for a direct attack by Karlskrona forces and has been since we were attacked by Bantyr. We've held off such an assault as according to Her Majesty of Engellex's wishes. She considers the Bantyric a friend, a position we do not find acceptable, especially as we believe Götarike could be a better friend to Her Majesty than any Celt ever could. Regardless of how acceptable or rather unacceptable that we find this position, we've respected it. We've respected the process and respected the possibility of peace. No doubt Her Majesty has seen our proposal for the Northern European Summit. It is a peace device of ours and designed to maintain peace in our region over a prolonged period of time. Her Majesty's Government has yet to comment upon it.

As stated, we've remained responsible to the process, but the Celts have refused peace thus far. How long can Götarike hold out, waiting for peace? We politicians either need peace progress, or war progress, else we find ourselves voted out next elections and out of a job. Surely your Government understands this process.

As such, we wish to introduce our own peace idea with your nation.

We believe that our patience is what maintains this process, and that patience alone. Yet at the end of the day, this is my country, our jobs. ...and so if the peace process between the Celts and Götarike does not progress, Götarike will be forced to move upon Bantyr; however, we are willing to dictate that in the peace process with Bantyr a part of a long term peace process with Engellex. That said, Bantyr becomes part of the Engellexic domain, should we receive territorial concessions near our lands, mainly, areas that were used for the attack upon Götarike and where Nordic/Swedish minorities reside. As such, Engellex will gain the right to work in Bantyr as she wishes under her own control, without any middleman. We'll also grant Engellex toll free access to Sveasund (Strait of Svea) and a 25 year non-aggression pact with the option of a 25 year renewal, 10 years into the pact. Additionally, the ability for Engellexic ships to dock and resupply in Götarike's territories abroad, and a similar ability for our ships to do the same in Engellexic abroad ports. This would be private domain until the conflict is over, upon which, it would be publicly announced.

Would this be seen as acceptable to Her Majesty's Government? Because Götarike is keen on advancing the peace process, and this process is moving nowhere with the Celtic nations. Additionally, in conference with the Karlskrona accord, we would signal the end of our support in Altai and join the fight against the EDF on an official basis. We believe this would be a gesture of our good faith to our arrangement. We've conferred with the Frescanians and they find this arrangement to be acceptable. Are their points you wish to have debated? Added upon? Or is this unacceptable on the basis of any standard to Her Majesty's Government?

We will respect your decision, but do await eagerly for a reply. We also respect that this continue to maintain in private discussion.

GREAT CONTINENTAL WAR​

GREAT ENGELLEXIC AND FEDERATION FORCES

ENGAGED IN

PREUTI-BORUSSIAN AND GREAT SEA THEATRES OF WAR​

END OF AN ERA

THE NEW ERA FOR MONTELIMAR

Valery Giscard Pompidou rallies Nobles and Commoners to the Promises of Mormant.

It would appear that what rump remains of the Montelimarian State and Government is threatened with a serious but most brilliant opposition.

The forbearance which Valery Giscard Pompidou graciously promised on his first public engagement with the people of Mormant, will not extend beyond the period of negotiations with Parliament in Valmy. That forbearance is only an emanation of the lofty patriotism which pervades the mind and spirit of the honourable gentleman leading the formation of a new government, who would rather sacrifice his political life before Mormant, than allow an inference to be drawn from his conduct, at a moment so critical to the fortunes of the Montelimarien people. But, though silent, it will not be for long. Walking in voiceless dignity around the new ministries of Mormant, he is neither unwilling or unprepared to launch condemnations at the heads of the collapsed Montelimarien Government and Parliament, directly once the negotiations of surrender are decided. His anger is bottled, and with proper time, to be released with the greatest vehemence.

A source from the Northern Department, which has a remarkable ability for discovering conspiracies, has within the last few days, astonished readers by disclosing an organization for the partition South of the Border; and the Ministers of Dulwich, with a natural inclination to crumble up the Federation, will endeavour to change continental politics, by partitioning Montelimar and catapulting the Federation to the gutters of Europe. The revelation is encouraging enough, but frightful enough to the ancient dynasties of the Federation who are looking for the preservation of their perverse hold to power.

Valery Giscard Pompidou hosted a dinner on 25 November. The gentleman dines almost every day, of course, whether in the elegant halls of Great Engellex, or in the focus of the high-bred political excitement of Montelimar, the Chateau du Sart in Mormant; but this was meant by a dinner with a purpose. In Great Engellex it is proudly remarked that the progression of civilisation is formed on fine dinning. On this occasion Pompidou gave a dinner, to gather around him political partisans, noble and common. The result was made known to the Engellexic Ministers through a letter from the gentleman, which deriving its inspiration from her Majesty’s celebrated reputation of hosting, there can be no mistake about.

Under a most grave title, the letter to the Ministers made known what Dulwich could expect to see from Mormant after the settlement of surrender by Valmy.

A union now prevails confidently amongst leading and celebrated members of Montelimar’s political conservative associations, was declared quickly within the letter. By those who responded to the invitation of Valery Giscard Pompidou. Never before did a banquet of any Commoner of Montelimar demonstrate such an ability to unite names, representative of rank and property, and closely associated with proud national and historical associations. It is already recognised as an impressive political feat to have such grand personages arrayed magnificently round the table of Pompidou. Without the freedom to publish names directly, it can be confirmed, or, at least, suggested that the Ducal Houses of Montelimar, North and West in particular, were represented, too were the leading politicos of Conservative Montelimarien Circles and Associations; names of industrial and financial leadership were also rumoured.

To have been the host of such a company was an honour which has, until recently, been the preserve of Engellexic etiquette. It can be imagined, from the power that rallies to the new era, that the Parliament of Valmy should make a polite bow to the formidable opposition and brilliant personage that organizes in Mormant.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE AND THE EXPECTIONS

By Sir Arthur Cecil-Powes

Over the drumming of warlike preparations yesterday resounded the sudden end of the noisy and laborious Empire as the men and women belonging to the nation’s industries of war listened with wonder and surprise to the unexpected and earnest want of peace by the Empire of Wiese.

Great Engellex has become confident to the state of war, and it seems now almost impossible for Engellex to fall back into the old pacific routine of the last fifty years as it appeared only months ago for the Empire to shake off the peaceful habits. Nor would it, it is suspected, be perfectly true to say that the country hails the prospect so suddenly offered of a return to peace with unmixed and unalloyed satisfaction. No one is so inhuman as to argue for war in a permanency, but there are a great many, it is understood, who think that its continuance for another year would have more of good than of evil. Our preparations are proving to be vast; our factories are producing armour in the tens weekly with similar aircraft numbers; our army and air force are assuming so much more promising an aspect than before; and the power of the Federation is so visibly reduced and shaken, that we might reasonably hope at the end of another campaign not only to dictate terms much more favourable, but to have for them the best of all possible guarantees - the utter exhaustion and prostration of our adversary.

In such cases, however, it is probably wise to close our hand upon that certain success which is within our grasp, rather than open it to snatch at some fortune more alluring, but also more doubtful and dangerous. To be delivered from the continually recurring catalogues of slaughter, from the rapid increase of our national debt, from the prospect of a five per cent income tax increase - to curb effectually the insolence and aggression of a new Power which last year would only condescend to answer our earnest remonstrance by a haughty and expressive letter.

Let us only be sure that we have got what we ask for, and we shall bear with much philosophy the loss of all the fine things that the new year of war might bring us.

DULWICH, SATURDAY, 26th NOVEMBER 2011​

The Right Honourable The Secretary of State has received the Command of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty The Queen-Empress
to make known the following gracious Statement of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty
to the Queen, and Lordships of the Kingdom of Suionia.​

An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.

TO THE QUEEN, AND LORDSHIPS OF THE KINGDOM OF SUIONIA​

I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;

With reference to the general question which forms the groundwork of Engellexic-Suionian Co-operation on the Saamiskavian War, it shall be expressed that her Majesty and Ministers are in entire concurrence with the character and views of the Suionian proposal, that has been put privately.

With regard to the preliminary terms submitted, there could only be two areas in which we would wish to deliberate on; though it is generally accepted as a common-sense approach to rekindling bilateral relations between our two Empires.

Our main concern is simply to the interpretation of the Suionian Government to the oil embargo. It is hoped that the Suionian Government could come to the same view, that when differences of such the kind between Suionia and Sorlandeten arise between two governments correspondence was generally useless as a means of settlement, I will therefore not expire time unnecessarily in imploring your government to refer the dispute to a third Power, that might be willing to undertake the reference. I will also relay this advice to my Sorlandeten counterpart.

With respect to the other point of concern, I must say that Great Engellex can concur to a limited cessation of Bantyric territory to the Kingdom of Suionia - partly temporary, too, with those designated temporary being returned on the succession of Suionian conquests in the Kingdom of Warr; though I believe bringing such details prematurely under ministerial discussion was least likely to promote an understanding and agreement between our two ministries, I therefore propose forming a Commission, between us, to look into those details more thoroughly and quietly.

With the judgement and fact of the Engellexic minister at Bangleann, the Queen-Empress and Ministers have every reason to doubt the cessation of this war mutually and to be satisfied with joint Engellexic-Suioinian efforts to conclude these unnecessary hostilities.

The Secretary of State for War will be in correspondence with his Suionian counterpart to relay the intentions of the Royal Engellexic Navy in Bantyr.

By the Grace of GOD, of the UNION of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS, through the SECRETARY of STATE, Sir ANTHONY PELHAM-HOLLES​

GREAT ARMY DEPLOYMENT

SECOND AND TENTH GREAT ARMIES IN MONTELIMAR

Great Engellex dramatically escalates military commitment in Montelimar

While Europe marvelled at the military might of the Engellexic which was able to push the Federation out of Preuti by the battle front that stretched across Montelimar the full significance of this autumn campaign has only been truly acknowledged by the Imperial General Staff in Dulwich. Should the offensive maintain its momentum of the early days of the war this new year, argued the Chair of the Commons August War Committee, then the war must enter a new phase. On December 12, the Imperial General Staff authorized the Great Engellexic Army to commence a massive deployment to the East and South of Montelimar; the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, the Duke of Rothermere, confirmed that it was the endeavour of this renewed effort to allow for the quick installation of a democratic and unaligned government in Valmy.

On both ends of the long fighting front the Engellexic Army were scoring major triumphs in and around Valmy. In the East the vital Montelimarien-held city of Nancy saw relief as the Engellexic forces withdrew westwards to consolidate the front. In this part of Montelimar the serious threat was to Montelimarien troops massed still in the North and East Valmy, because when the Engellexic drive is continued toward the city of Nancy all the Montelimariens in Valmy would be absolutely cut off from supplies; the Royal Engellexic Air Force has ensured supplies from the south via Fontaine-Harcourt remain permanently disrupted.

But while much of the campaign in Valmy continues to without verification from the Ministry of War, Engellexic might had already dealt a series of crushing blows to the Federation in Montelimar and Preuti. Success in the, now fallen, kingdom came as a result of a bold strategic move. For when the Federation believed Great Engellex had about spent her might and effort in the all out attempt to capture the stronghold of Lille the Imperial General Staff orchestrated a second all out directly in the city. It was here that the Federation learnt that the Engellexic were unyielding. The capture of Lille meant the fall of the first Montelimarien stronghold; a general mass movement of enemy troops in the North-East began toward the front west of Nancy through the Blueridge.

The Imperial General Staff are encouraged to emulate that success with the full deployment of the Second and Tenth Great Engellexic Armies to the North, East and South.

KINGDOM OF NICOSIA The Question upon Constitutional Reform is limited to the will Nurnberg in Syracuse. It is astonishing that the character of words being received from the Chancellor and former Chancellor of Nicosia should have been so uncouth and uneducated allowed for a moment the presentation of the situation given to the Powers of Europe in dealing with the smallest Court of the continent. If the King of Nicosia had chosen to take the initiative of constitutional reform at an earlier stage in his reign, the European community would have seen for more unity on which pursuit of reform Nicosia should endeavour. Now that the need for reform was brought to the King, and the instructions of the Great Courts and meddling republics demanded upon the Nicosian King and his Ministers, it is to be foreseen whether the reforms shall be true to the will of the people and demonstrating a degree of consistency; the latter already proving a failure. It will be difficult for Great Engellex to not interfere in the constitutional process, as it is understood, the primary address of the King made simple observation an impossibility.

The COURT The Queen-Empress held an investiture of the Most Honourable Order of the Sollen, yesterday afternoon, at Warwick Castle. Her Majesty, the Sovereign of the Order, was conducted to a chair of state in the Throne Room by the Lord Chamberlain, the Treasurer of the Household, the Vice Chamberlain, and the Comptroller of the Household. Crown Prince Soren, the Great Master of the Order of the Sollen, accompanied the Queen-Empress, and stood by her side on the right, the Grand Duke of Wantage being on her Majesty’s left. Admiral Sir Evelyn Howard Napier was introduced with the ceremony, and was invested by the Queen-Empress with the riband, badge, and star of a Knight Grand Cross of the Sollen. Sir Anthony Pelham-Holles, the Queen-Empress’ Principal S ecretary of State for the Northern Department, was introduced with the ceremony; and her Majesty, assisted by his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, placed the riband of a Knight Grand Cross, with the badge appended, over his right shoulder, and afterwards invested him with the star of a Knight Grand Cross of the Sollen. The Honourable Gentleman kissed hands and withdrew. The Knights Grand Cross were called over in the presence of the Queen-Empress, and then withdrew from the Throne Room. Her Majesty’s Guard of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms were on duty in the Throne Room, under the command of the Lieutenant. Her Majesty will hold a Council of State on Wednesday next at Warwick Castle. KINGDOM OF FRANKEN The Northern Secretary announced from the Northern Department that he was to pursue the Breotish Government to delay its considerations of supplying strategic arms to the Federation, and most especially Franken. In the Commons Assembly to-day the President for the Board of Public Trade asked for Parliament to deliberate a package of sanctions that included curtailing the sales of agricultural produce and food stuffs to the European Defence Federation. Viscount Palmerston declared to the House of Lords that the Northern Department would be withdrawing his Excellency the Ambassador to Nurnberg, following similar actions from Franken and Eiffelland. In an address to the House the Northern Minister confirmed that the co-ordinated actions of her Majesty’s Ministers was to reaffirm the Empire’s position against the Frankish aggression and conduct in the Great Sea, and, most particularly, its efforts for rapid naval re-armament. ​

THE GREAT SAAMISKAVIAN WAR​

​

DISPATCH ON THE NORTHERN WAR Northern Secretary in the Commons on the meeting between Great Engellex & Bantyr; Parliament concerned for national interest. The Northern Secretary presented a dispatch to the Commons Assembly to-day containing farther information, as had been previously received by the public, respecting the matters treated in the meetings between Bangleann and Dulwich on the Saamiskavian War; but in doing so a most unusual conduct has been observed; the Northern Department attempted to disallow the Press Corps from all means of publication, though, prevented from doing so by the Lord Speaker of the Lords. The meetings, the Parliament was informed, demonstrated the intention of her Majesty’s Ministers to alter the custom and excise duties on Bantyric merchandise imported. The suggestion of double duties on fishery products, and industrial wares manufactured in Bantyr was not in Sir Anthony Pelham-Holles’ original plan for the meeting, but was inserted by him to convey the grave situation that Great Engellex is faced with in respect of the northern war. It is understood that the Bantyric Foreign Minister protested to the proposed alterations, stating that it must act as an incitement to piracy; and it is proposed that her Majesty the Queen-Empress form a Royal Commission to be permanently positioned in Bangleann for the purpose orchestrating an end to the war with positions agreeable to both Dulwich and Bangleann. But with respect to the main concern of Suionian advancements against the Bantyric islands, and of the necessity for Dulwich to maintain control over military installations in the south, the issue

of co-operation shall continue to be referred to the joint Defence Committee which had been established earlier in the year. The point of the meeting and communications has demonstrated to the Engellexic Parliament the urgency of reinforcing the sovereignty of Bantyr as it would relate to the economic, political and military interests of the Empire. Sir Anthony Pelham-Holles stated that the Imperial General Staff had been prompted by her Majesty to form contingencies for an immediate involvement in Bantyr. Parliament Concerned on Political and Economic Impact of the Northern War The members of the Commons Assembly requested that the Northern Secretary form a report in his department stating the dangers of the Northern War through the current course, and the predictions of trying to accomplish a peace through other methods. The Northern Secretary stated that he will commit his department to a report, but was obliged to act now on the crisis. The Kingdom of Suionia is already acting in Bantyr, where the conquest of the latter cannot be endured by Great Engellex, the economic consequences are particularly worrying in that respect. Continues on Page 5.

PARLIAMENTARY REPORT ON THE WAR EFFORT The President for the Board of Public Works delivered a departmental report to the Commons Assembly on the national war effort. The report was of the immediate and the long-term needs as the Imperial General Staff and her Majesty’s Minister saw them: small armaments, artillery equipment, fighter aircraft, and armour. During the Commons session yesterday afternoon, the President briefed the Assembly on the strength and make-up of the Montelimarien military resistance, as well as, the perceived threat of an escalation by the Federation by way of Wiese and Franken, and gave them a detailed description of the Engellexic armaments and present production capabilities. The President also relayed a ministerial meeting he had with the Queen-Empress a week earlier, and confirmed that ‘after her Majesty had completed her review of the military situation, she personally expressed to me her gratification for the consistency and efficiency of the Public Works Department. The President also conveyed his regret to the delays which have occurred in the delivery of contracts for the production of railways equipment and supplies needed in western, central and northern Montelimar, but he believes the department will be able to meet the established schedules by the end of the year to meet the military timetable sufficiently. He also realizes the vital necessity of the national effort to try and compensate the turmoil in Bantyr affecting our import of aircraft components, and has issued instructions, that the highest priority be given to the production of aircraft components in certain parts of the country. We must remove any and all obstacles preventing the flow of necessary supplies to our factories. The need for ships, the First Lord of the Admiralty had informed the President, was now going to be a desperation, even when gains had been made through Cambria.

REFUGEE CAMPS CLEARED The Parliamentary Commission on War Refugees and Humanitarian Support announced to the House of Lords that it appears that the following refugee settlements in Western and Central Montelimar have been totally evacuated, as far as the Ministry of War is concerned, of refugees :- Augers-en-Brie, Chartronges, Pamfou, Dagny, Cregy-les-Meaux, Dormelles, Saint-Mard, Egreville, Ferrieres-en-Brie, Tigeaux, Gravon, Valence-en-Brie, Hautefeuille, and Liverdy-en-Brie. The following camps have been partially evacuated :- Dardenac, Blasimon, Martignas-sur-Jalle, Lugasson, and Civrac-sur-Dordogne. Since the commencement of dealing with the refugee crisis nearly three-hundred-thousand-fifty have been moved from their displacement camps to more accommodating areas of Montelimar. But while much of the campaign in Valmy continues to without verification from the Ministry of War, Engellexic might had already dealt a series of crushing blows to the Federation in Montelimar and Preuti. Success in the, now fallen, kingdom came as a result of a bold strategic move. For when the Federation believed Great Engellex had about spent her might and effort in the all out attempt to capture the stronghold of Lille the Imperial General Staff orchestrated a second all out directly in the city. It was here that the Federation learnt that the Engellexic were unyielding. The capture of Lille meant the fall of the first Montelimarien stronghold; a general mass movement of enemy troops in the North-East began toward the front west of Nancy through the Blueridge.* The Imperial General Staff are encouraged to emulate that success with the full deployment of the Second and Tenth Great Engellexic Armies to the North, East and South.

MONEY & STOCKS Recent reports of a bank amalgamation are now confirmed, it being announced that a provisional agreement has been entered into for the amalgamation of the Sutherland District Bank, Ltd. With the Royal & Imperial Bank of Southwark. The Sutherland District Bank was established in 1889, and it is very closely associated with the textile industry, while its absorption will provide the Royal & Imperial Bank with direct access to districts where has not been largely represented.

[td]Mr. Smith-Leves of the Sutherland District Bank becomes one of the joint general managers of the Royal & Imperial Bank, and the other directors will act as a local district bank board. The assets of the combined institution will amount to about £115 billion. The Royal & Imperial Bank earlier in the year arranged a fusion with the Union of Hammersmith & Coutts, although its policy has not been to effect amalgamations on any scale.
The present scheme has received the sanction of the Finance Ministry.[/td]
[td]Walssex-Battent (Great Southern) Railway stocks were good in an otherwise dull domestic railway market. A rise of about ½ occurred in the leading Wightland railway stocks, but Zadar-Istrian Rails fell 2 to 3 points further on the Lord Commissioner’s report, which didn’t detail immediate commitment to their investment following the air strike. Manufacturing were in general a disappointing decline. Industrials as a whole were firm. Croydon Siddeley Aviation rallied somewhat after their slump,[/td]
[td]Armstrong Whitworth were strong. Went Aluminium, Engellexic Textiles & Rubber, and Siebe-Gorman Systems improved. Lennox Coal Group, Randgold Resources, Wessex & Western Energy all lost ground. Agricultural shares developed further strength. Ducal Compton-Finch Company is about to issue 1,520,000 seven per cent non-cumulative preference shares. [/td]

* IGNORE this, will change it to-morrow.

ENGELLEXIC BROADCASTING COMMISSION

SUNDAY • DECEMBER 25 • 2011​

THE QUEEN-EMPRESS CHRISTMAS BROADCAST

For many people all over Europe, the year 2011 seems to have brought them more than their desired share of trials and tragedies. I usually make my Christmas Broadcast to the Empire and Europe from Royal Palace at Dulwich. This year I thought I would use the presence of the nurses and officers hospitalised at Nonsuch Palace, a personal home of my family, in the heart of Walssex-Battent, to send this special message to the people and servicemen of the Empire and Civilised Europe. Those present before my Majesty are indeed the immediate audience for my broadcast - children, wives and husbands of our national struggle - but I am also speaking by radio and television to people throughout the Empire, friendly and civilised societies around Europe, and, especially, to those people realising their new achieved liberty and freedom from the oppression of the Kingdom of Montelimar and the Principality of Altai. All parents naturally desire to witness the coming of age and achievement of their children in peace and prosperity, but for most of this year the people of Europe would have had to live through bewildering changes and upheavals. Some of the changes have been for the better - the independence of the Montelimarien people, but others in far distant lands may indeed threaten the Europe we live in and built together. There are some people who are much less fortunate than ourselves, which is important to remember at this time of year, for they come from countries where oppressive federations and unelected leaders make life extraordinarily difficult - starvation and religious persecution - making it quite a challenge for the human mind to contemplate a successful family line. Quite a lot has been said in Parliament and in correspondence from my Subjects this year, saying how concerning and tragic the destruction of prosperity in Europe has been. Many of you will certainly have been acquainted with the economic decline facing Europe in some way, and perhaps you’ve heard too about more urgent and pressing problems caused by the aggressive policies of warring federations of nations. These problems are not easily isolated to concern only the nations they exist within, where imperialist endeavours of less democratic societies are determined; the crisis of the refugee plight affect us all with Europe in need of an era of neighbourly co-operation throughout to address this most pressing matter. No doubt - no doubt you have all seen some number of film and images from Preuti-Borussia, Saamiskavia and Himyar. Unlike the year before, the continents of Europe are ablaze with conflict and destruction, and certainly looks a very unpleasant place to live and rear a family. These images should remind us that there is no future without the civilisation of societies, with elected leadership and accountable assemblies of representatives of the people. For myself and my family, the year that is passing has opened a new very troubling chapter. I have spent more of it encouraging relations around Europe to embrace the fundamental ideals of peace and liberty, and have witnessed personally the misfortune becoming of many families of the Empire and Europe. Now a new year will soon be upon us, and I am looking forward to seeing the determined liberty of the independents peoples of the former Montelimarien Kingdom, they shall be welcomed as our new friendly and hopefully prosperous neighbours. For them and for all of us this New Year shall be an adventure into the unknown. Great opportunities now lie before Europe. Indeed a large part of Europe looks to the Empire for leadership in these troubling times. They look towards our conception of Government and Opposition and the right to criticise and defend. We will educate them on the benefits of expressions for freedom and respect for the individual, and the law. The establishment, enrichment, and reinforcement of Parliamentary Democracy shall be a cornerstone of my policy in 2012. Every one of us can support this great adventure, for just as the Empire is made up of different nations, so those nations are of individuals. My Christmas message shall be that there can be no Peace in Our Europe without finding a victory in our struggle for Goodwill toward All Men. I know that there is no one in the Empire, and indeed throughout Europe, who will not join with me in sending those who mourn and struggle a message of sympathy and understanding. I pray that they and all who have suffered may be comforted in Heaven and on Earth, and that the deity may grant us all the strength we shall need for the road ahead. Merry Christmas.
