GAZETTE de PARIS #2 ~ WAR IS OVER!
SWISS & FRENCH BORDER VILLAGERS CELEBRATE ZEURICH ACCORDS!
The 36 hour "border dispute war" has ended with peace!
France and Switzerland are now Allies!
England and Prussia, so quick with their declarations, and Austria with its condemnation, are now left, how do you say,
"holding the bag" . . . and the contents of the bag are beginning to stink!
The basis for their DOWs and condemnations was the French/Swiss dispute. NOW THERE IS NO FRENCH/SWISS DISPUTE!
Poof! Their reason for declaring war has disappeared.
If England and Prussia were looking for an "excuse" to start a war, the "excuse" has disappeared.
No nation seeks your assistance. No one is at war! So - logic dictates that Austria should now ask England if it should issue a 'commendation" instead of a "condemnation" and England and France should declare Peace! It is easy:
If your FM and PMs post and email the Peace to end to your wars, now that there is no basis for them, and they are ratified by France,
Voila!, you have put the world at peace again!
Do it, show the world you are not war-mongering when we all need time to rest and replenish.
THE ZEURICH ACCORDS ~ SPRING 1793
The nations of France and Switzerland, desirous of resolving their differences, hereby endorse and ratify The Zuerich Accords, by whose terms
1. Peace is hereby made between Switzerland and France, effective immediately;
2. France and Switzerland hereby declare an active alliance now exists between themselves;
3. Since England and Prussia issued Declarations of War based upon our dispute, and our dispute is ended,
we now call upon England and Prussia to follow our example and reach out to show your true desire for peace
in the world and make peace with your enemies, since there is now no basis whatsoever for your issuing Declarations
of War. The world is at peace but for your actions.

Dear le brun,
Coming from nations who only turn 11 violated Sardinian ground with illegal movements of cavalry, who are allied to the swiss who themselves jumped into for gain at no reason against the italian states , I now find it hard to swallow the rhetoric that comes from Paris.
The HRE protect our interests against your movements across the border. you were given a chance to reply but sent some stupid message instead.
In fact all your messages have been rather odd and against the flow of actual fact.
Please do not muddy waters of your own making! its taken us Italians a long time to find out who are, and who are not worth listening too. you SIR ARE NOT TOP OF OUR LIST.

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO......
Mounsier Lebrun, for his leading role in the Franco-Swiss war. The Oscar for best supporting nation goes, of course, to Switzerland.
So Austria indeed cannot condemn either France or Switzerland as the whole thing was a hoax and not a real crisis. We apologise.
We should only condemn our own judgement when dealing with certain characters.

I find it interesting, that
I find it interesting, that there is no confirmation of any of this from the Swiss. As far as i can tell, they are still at war.
A Reader
You need more stamina!
Did you ask the Swiss?
I bet you a farthing you didn't!
You jump to erroneous conclusions - - - again!
You see, some people are traveling, others have families, and there are
many, many other reasons for delays in confirmations on a weekend.
We French approach diplomacy as we do fine wines.
You let them reach the right temperature, you let them breathe . . . you take your time and it is perfect!
You English approach diplomacy the way you do your women.
You force yourself upon them, don't listen to them and are finished quite
quickly. . . so most of the time only you leave satisfied ~ and have ruined lives with your satisfaction.
Let me see, let me be diplomatic - you had no reason to declare war on France.
There are no troop build ups.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN YOUR TRANSPORTS LOADED WITH TROOPS ALL OVER THE WORLD?
ARE YOU SENDING YOUR ARMIES ON CRUISES?
Pish-tosh . . . the truth will out.
The world knows you lie.
Look! Look! The Accords Are Signed!
The dawn breaks on a new day and Peace fills the world!
Except for war-mongering England and Prussia.
It is not too late!
We can still have peace ~ We can have peace turns after peace turns as we discuss our differences!
Can you hold back yourselves and Prussia?
Can you offer peace to the world?
Say "yes" now - reply in public or private.
France is willing!
French papers
I used to receive a couple of French newspapers on a fairly regular basis but haven't seen one for some time. Does this mean that the British blockade is preventing ink from arriving? If Coalition forces are blocking the roads out of northern France, can papers be sent through the neutral states of Wuertemburg, the Swiss Confederation, and Hesse?
Perhaps the presses are silent because the editors have been given the chop for printing something that angered those in power. So much for "liberte".

French Ink
Herr Generalleutnant,
Sad to say that yes, our blockade is stopping the supply of ink and other sundry items required for printing newspapers, pamphlets, textbooks, love letters, diaries, pornographic materials, et cetera. Perhaps they can clips letters out of their existing books and rearrange them, a la ransom notes.

“He that lies down with dogs, shall rise up with fleas.”
Benjamin Franklin, a fine gentleman who dined at my table oft quoted himself stating:
“He that lies down with dogs, shall rise up with fleas.”
It appears Austria has chosen to cuddle close to a war-mongering Bulldog.
Lebrun predicts Austria will be scratching more than it's head and asking itself: "How could I have been so stupid?"
Tell me Karl, honestly, does it hurt when the English put their hand up your butt to make you speak?
Oscars
I believe Oscars are awarded for acting, not over-acting.
Oh please...
The poorly-staged border "dispute" was never the impetus for our declaration. You obviously coerced and threatened the peace-loving Swiss into a one-sided "agreement" so your whines (spelling intentional) and cheese would find a slightly wider market.
The impetus for our declaration was the massing of huge French and Dutch forces on the border of German states, including our sovereign principality of Hannover. Are you attempting to force another border "incident" there, in case we back down? I doubt it. It is a blatant provocation to which we can not fail to respond.
You do have an option as well, though. If you agree, we shall send a ship of our Royal Navy, say HMS Bellerophon, to a port of yours, say Rochefort, to escort your political leadership to a principality of your own, say St. Helena, to practice your revolutionary form of government until you get it right.
God save the King! (He obviously wasn't too keen on yours)

Oh No, What Happened to You?
No wonder your speech isnt clear.
I am holding my sides from laughing at your attempts at wit!
You were only 1/2 successful!
haw-haw-haw!
You cannot defend a lie.
Instead you your goobledegook excuses, all you can do is parrot over and over again that you don't like our form of government.
We are not forcing it on you or anyone else.
You will go to war with a nation and set the world at each others throats because you are annoyed.
I see.
Here, have a glass of Chardonnay.
