The Sultan warmly receives this most gracious invitation and of course reciprocates, inviting the Austrian Foreign Ministry to open an Embassy in Istanbul.

We are interested in pursuing a non-aggression pact across our mutual border, in return for the complete acceptance of all Ottoman claims. Likewise, although His good tastes in cartography may balk at it, the Sultan is willing to concede Serbia to the Austrian Empire. However, these same senses cannot stand to allow Austria to annex Montenegro. The geography fits into a very natural and pleasing arrangement with surrounding lands, lands that are all owned by the Ottoman Empire. (Montenegro is Montenegrin Montenegro, and the vast majority is Ottoman). We have no issues with any other claims made by the Austrian Empire, given of course that they do not conflict with our own.

The Sultan does not wish to pursue an alliance presently, but we hope that a non-aggression pact may still be of interest.

*The French Ambassador presents his credentials to the Geheime Hofkanzlei in Vienna*

France sends greetings to Prince Metternich and His Imperial Majesty Ferdinand I. We wish Austria well in the challenges of integrating its vast and diverse populations into a more cohesive and stable entity. Our cartographers have studied the maps published by the Austrian foreign ministry; Unfortunately Paris must decline to support your expansive claims in Italy. In particular, we would greatly oppose Austrian moves into Piedmont and into Tuscany. France regards Piedmont as being within its sphere of influence. An Austrian Tuscany could additionally threaten the future territorial integrity of the Papal States, which are currently under the protection of France.

His Majesty, King William the Fourth, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, greets the Austrian people with respect and friendship. We hope that Austria can secure stability within its borders and protect 'human rights' for all men.

In regards to Austrian ambitions; well, they certainty are ambitious. The British Empire wishes the Austrian people well in their pursuit of Central European hegemony.

[align=center]The Russian Empire, as Protector of the Orthodox Faith and Slavic Peoples of the World, hereby denounce the perceived claim by the Austrian Empire to "Carve Up" the remaining nations of the Balkans.

The nations of Serbia and Montenegro are allies to the Russian Empire and the responsibility of the Czar to protect. We will officially state, that any aggressive action taken upon either will be portrayed as an attack upon Russia itself. We hope the Kaiser has the sense to not throw away his younger generations in the foolish ambition to try such things.

The Prussian Nation denounces the Austrian Claim to Southern German States and Rejects the idea of a South German State. We feel that the southern states ought to remain free and independent.

Moreover, your claim as the Foreign Embassy of all German Nations is deeply insulting to the Kaiser. We insist that you remove this title at once.

The Crown is interested in the agreement but would like some time get all affairs in order before going forward with such a deal. It may be revisited again shortly in the future.

We thank the Austrian Governments offer to help develop the Netherlands industrially, though due to economic design plans currently in place we would rather you spend money by giving direct grants to our government as opposed to foreign construction of industry. Other wise the whole system will not ba able to be built right.

France appreciates the decision by Austria to decrease tensions in Northern Italy. We would still like to pursue a deal in the future to pass the Austrian spheres in Northern Italy over to Sardinia-Piedmont, when they shall be able to assume this responsibility. But we will not interfere in those matters at this time, in the interests of pursuing stability for our friends in Turin to develop.

Unfortunately we have received confirmation today that France plans to invade rightful Italian land out of fear of Austria and Sardinia-Piedmont.

France has disclosed that it wishes to invade the Two Sicilies with the intention of depriving Sardinia of a rightful territory.

Therefore we denounce the French and must declare that we are now opposed to their arbitrary and anti-diplomatic agenda.

The Two Sicilies extends its utmost gratitude for the Austrian support in the unification of Italy. Know that we stand by to aid the Austrian Empire in the hour of need.

The Emperor is also invited to a private banquet in the Palazzo Ducale in Venice. We have many things to discuss and even have a few Princes and princesses, who have almost made it to their teens without setting up proper betrothals!

From the national records, year 1848

AUSTRIAN TIMES

Northern Germans Oppress The South


After the conquest of Bohemia by the vile North German Federation Austrian reporters have discovered evidence of cruel happenings on the Federation's side of the border. The Bohemian soldiers have been press ganged into serving in the North German Military, Bavarians are treated as second class citizens by the dogmatic regime and many innocents suffer at the non-chalant attitude of the Federation's government to Justice.

A Bavarian refugee who managed to escape across the north-south Bavaria border to the freedom of the Austrian Empire told the Austrian Times that he barely escaped the harsh reprimands of the North for simply wishing logical and reasonable unification with Austria. North German Authorities continue to refuse to consider any peaceful solutions and are known to have utilised corruption and bribery to move their domestic and foriegn agenda forwards.

Meanwhile a resurgent Russia rises in the east and realises the threat that a nation of madmen pose and have proposed the Dual Alliance to Austria which the Emperor has dutifully signed. Further the Emperor has worked with the Sicilians to form Italy, granting them bountiful lands in Lombardy and Venice, and the Sicilians have sworn to assist Austria in her time of need.

French Military Lackluster

An independent and completely unbiased report today was released to the dismay of French military officials revealing the pitiful arrangement of their land forces in France proper. Lacking any serious force to deal with Foreign threat. After the aggressive actions of the North German Federation and the French governments refusal to deal with the situation due to deep rooted fears of Prussians and anything with a manly moustache, South Germans in Lorraine fear that they may eventually be targeted by Europe's latest bullyboy.

Austrian First Minister Acknowledges Swedish Prestige

After suffering the loss of Bohemia Austria is now in a struggle to regain its place in the top eight nations (or Great Powers) in the world. After a report to the Austrian Parliament the Federalist Austrian first minister, much to the anger of the Mitternich faction, confessed that Austria had truly lost its position due to a lack of strong industrial development that was rooted in a loss of prestige as a nation due to the rising star of Sweden.

The Kaiser would like to answer the Austrian Complaint.

When the Austrian King takes the title "King of Prussia", the Kaiser finds such an insult hard to bear. To receive satisfaction for this insult, the North German Federation took Bohemia.

It seems now, that Austria feels that the punishment was too harsh. The Kaiser would like to inquire what the Austrian King would offer as satisfaction for their insult?

Her Majesty was far from shocked by the outbreak of war in Central Europe. Long has the German people fought where no conflict need be. She wishes it known that while it is still British policy to support the Austrian proper dominion over Bohemia, it is clear that the South Germans of Bavaria, Baden, and Wuttemberg would be more secure under the dominion of Berlin.

For now, British involvement in the affairs of Central Europe shall remain careful observation alone, but the recent acts of Vienna have raised some doubts about the competence of the Austrian government in the elite circle of London.

We are willing to sign a NAP, however a defensive alliance is unfeasible at this time due to recent developments regarding the transfer of Denmark from the German sphere of influence to ours.

Rome wishes to inquire as to the reason for the long lasting silence from Vienna. It is most concerning considering the recent geopolitical situation.

We apologise. We are mustering our strength and considering strategies. We believe that diplomacy is pointless until we have won the war. We would gladly reply to the tactical discussions that are going on however.
