Lord Mayor Rantzau, my friend Paulus, I am writing to you with a heavy heart. I have blundered and the state may be no more. The nation that I had fought to restore, that I have sacrificed my entire life for, have become ruins under my rule. You should know that I am being besieged at this very moment in Tschrewa and I do not foresee ever breaking out of this siege in time to come to the aid of my people, but I intend to put on a show worthy to be called royal.14Please respect copyright.PENANAgEAdVlBqSa
Follow my every design and we will be able to salvage what we can. First, safeguard the people. They are the pillar of the state. Without them, there is no country. You must make peace with the Rus for the time being and play the role of a traitor. Earn your seat in the Confederacy and heed everything they wish of you. It goes without saying this should not include annexation but I doubt they would want to govern a hostile nation without your help. Second, drill the people, men and women, until they are soldiers worth ten men. Do this openly and send Kolchakov volunteer fighters as gifts. This act is in your hands. Third, you must not grow ambitious. Do not use Jarlsberg for the purpose of evacuating the people. It will surely draw suspicion. Instead, they must lie in wait for the opportune moment. Our counter-attack will begin in Hispannen and the Rus will be struck from across the Angler Sea. Then, you must war when peace grows cold, not a moment sooner nor later.14Please respect copyright.PENANARsGDbTm4Ec
