This is outrageous! The Papal lapdogs will be crushed! The House of Bavaria will not rest until every last Milanese bastard lowers his head before the Kaiser. Those who do not do so on bended knee will do so with a severed neck.
No doubt the Usurper will refrain from interfering in this matter, as it is surely his work. I have refrained from revealing this information as I was unsure of its truth, but these actions make its validity unquestionable. While I was in Stettin, Bavarian agents brought me the following document:
As you can plainly see, Pope Gregory was personally meeting with the Milanese just before their move on Bern! This cannot be a coincidence. The Milanese are acting under his express orders! Yet he has surely blundered. By unleashing his urchins to strike at us first, all nations will view our overwhelming retaliation as fully justified. First we will deal with the puppets, then we will deal with the master.
