Blue Sword

The great and respectable Emperor, His Majesty, read a powerful declaration of war to the entire empire in Arles, the capital of the Principality of Burgundy.

The following is the text of the speech:

Although I carry out domestic reforms through strict self-discipline, strength and self-control in accordance with the mission given to me by my Father and God, we often see some foreign newspapers in Italy and Canada, such as "Pravda", slandering us between the lines. The great empire of Holy Solomon.

Obviously, they are both arrogant and pitifully poor in knowledge. They have reduced the glory and example of the ancient Solomonic empire that we hope to rebuild to be worthless.

Our success is the best evidence to expose these lies.

Because in these years, if we were like the West Frankish Kingdom, we prided ourselves on the lazy style of aristocratic republic and lord autonomy and were complacent.

Or like the Solomon nation, they didn't care about their own affairs, but frequently interfered and dictated to others.

Then we will not be able to build such a great country with a vast territory, a large number of people, and abundant fertility on this land that was left in ruins after the ancient Solomons withdrew.

Therefore, we have the right to defend our work. We cannot let our work be ridiculed as criminal, let alone have malicious foreign media disturb us.

Anyone who interferes with our mission, even those who wish to interfere with the rule of the Iron Throne, whether they are extreme Hussites, or rebellious careerists, are all enemies of the Holy Solomon Empire.

In today's tense time, we do not need those who use the name of God to teach others with classic proverbs, nor do we need those who have nothing to do while making cynicism about other people's work.

What we need is someone to unite the empire. We need people who do this kind of work.

I deeply hate those who come to criticize our work instead of helping us.

Foreigners are all of this type. They are jealous of us. They think they don’t know much better than we do, so they reject us.

The basic creed of the Frankish nation is "help yourself and others will help you". The living standard of a country is the accumulation of the total output of the country's people. In other words, the amount of wages must be proportional to the amount of goods produced by the work.

Today, however, this doctrine does not satisfy some people, so some people are incited to shout "high wages, less work" in front of factories and streets, obstructing loyal citizens of the Empire who want to return to work. .

However, contrary to the "exploitation and oppression" they denounced, the empire has today become the largest steel-producing country in the world. I can cite many, many examples, which are the best proof of our national record-breaking achievements.

In addition to these successful examples, there are many more industrial achievements on the horizon in the coming year.

Those foreigners only deserve to show their teeth and claws. Isn’t it a historical irony that they think they are qualified to criticize us and give us advice?

We have given the Imperium its own power armor that can serve on the front lines against the international slander directed at us.

In the event that there is an international conflict or an instigation with ulterior motives that wants to destroy the peace of the empire, the empire will use their steel to protect its citizens and emperor.

The whole world will soon taste what it is like for the emperor, the people, and the army to be one and united.

If Italy suddenly collapsed today and the city of Solomon had to fend for itself, the Solomons might understand how difficult the economic work we encounter today is.

This country initially did not have gold reserves and insufficient foreign currency exchange. This was not because the Saxon royal family did not want to have it, but because in the early days of its establishment, the empire was frequently invaded and ravaged by the Eastern Magyars. Economic plunder from the south has lasted for nearly a hundred years.

In other words, we have to feed a large number of people across the land, and we don't have an economic colony to support us.

Suppose a country lacks various industrial raw materials and is unwilling to borrow foreign debt to survive in order to reduce its unemployment population to zero within five years and improve its living standards. In such a country where economic prerequisites are lacking, it is absolutely impossible to solve their own unemployment problem if they remain silent.

Thus, the imperial claims to economic possessions abroad were asserted more loudly every year.

These territories are not the empire's desire to plunder from other countries; rather, these territories are just a burden to the Holy See, but they are indispensable for the survival of our Frankish nation.

We also demand our place in the sun.

The Holy See used violence to map out the continent's nations and countries, planning them thoroughly.

From this we can know that the job of the Holy See is to openly promote arrogant and unreasonable procedures in the name of God, and then make the results of these procedures a permanent and immutable part of the international order.

They use this method to force the international order they established on us, especially when they euphemistically call their heresy trial policy "defending the glory of God."

Now the Holy See seeks to protect this order. I really don’t understand why a country that has suffered economic plunder for a long time would succumb to such a high-sounding organization, and I don’t allow that just because we rebel against the Holy See, we no longer have to fight for God.

On the contrary, we no longer submit to the Holy See because we believe that the Holy See is only an institution that values ​​self-interest over faith.

In addition to the above reasons, I call on loyal citizens to keep in mind the following important matters.

First: We chose to rebel against the Holy See because we were loyal to the will of God. Because the Holy See refused to give us devout believers the right to arm ourselves, we were unable to obtain the same safe status.

Second: The reason why we will never consider negotiating with the Holy See is that we do not allow that because the Council of Cardinals under the control of the Pope voted overwhelmingly for the Empire to give in, we have to be at the mercy of others.

Third: We will provide assistance to all countries that regard the Holy See as a reliable embodiment of God but do not end well. We should adhere to this diplomatic matter unswervingly.

For example, during the Brittanian War, the Holy See was unwilling to recognize the de jure rule of the Kingdom of Anjou in Aquitaine and Normandy because it was concerned about the diocesan interests of the Kingdom of West Francia. Perhaps our approach can lead to a simpler and more reasonable solution to the entire problem.

Fourth: There is absolutely no reason for us to get the Empire into conflicts that have nothing to do with us. We are also absolutely unwilling to watch others gain territorial or economic huge profits, while the empire has no visible benefits at all.

Besides, we don’t want others to be able to benefit from it after they help us make huge profits.

The Empire has decided to moderate its interests and demands wisely. And if it is really related to the interests of the empire, we do not expect any country to help us. We will issue a statement from the beginning that maintaining order on the mainland is our right.

Fifth: We do not intend to let the Holy See determine our future attitude. If this institution does not have strong enough international supervision, it will lose its rational behavior and adopt an arrogant way of thinking.

After all, all countries are most concerned about their own survival, so they can only stick to formalistic alliances. Therefore, those that are in line with the interests of the Holy See can survive, while those that are against the interests of the Holy See will suffer a heavy blow.

Even if the empire is a part of the faith of Bishop Solomon, it will never accept the unreasonable hegemonic behavior of the Holy See.

The Holy Solomon Empire was not a war-loving nation. It is a heroic country, I mean the empire does not want war, but it is not afraid of war, it loves peace, and it also loves its honor and freedom.

The new empire does not belong to anyone or any group. It does not belong to me, but to all citizens of the empire. It will help peoples who are willing to live in peace with us. It will make them more willing to do their part.

The imperial party, state, force, and economy are sharp weapons and tools, a means to achieve an end. The Empire will work hard to achieve our goals and will one day be judged by history. But the eternal goal of the empire is to serve all citizens.

I now pray to God that He will bless our work, our actions, our vision, and our determination in the days to come. I pray that the Lord Almighty will not let us be infected with arrogance and groveling. I pray that He will bless us in the coming days. I hope it will help us find the path the empire should take; I hope it will give us the courage to do what we should do; I hope it will help us not to be timid in the face of evil forces or cowardly in the face of danger.

Long live the Holy Solomon Empire! Long live all loyal citizens of the Empire!
