Imperial Diet II

Prinz Jobst stands and whispers

A good battle for Chancellorship that one was...

Jobst's feelings within show quickly, but is covered by a beaming smile

I like this idea of a fleet, we need more safer,secure waters, so when we assure Trade Rights over water it is no longer declined in fear of pirates.

I will also send a message to the Crusaders urging them to hurry up, as oter nations might get there first!

Gunther stands, bows to the Prinz and speaks:

Ah, ummm yes. . .well, your Highness, the Crusade isn't sanctioned by the Church due to our umm. . .status. So no other Catholic nations are taking part.

My lord has assured me, that if we are reconciled that he will seek an official Crusade as soon as our standing within the Church is high enough to do so. At that point, if it happens, we will have quite the head start over the other nations.

**Warluster** · 04-27-2007, 06:37

Without stand, Jobst speaks

Oh, I see...

All the same it is fortunate that we have no competors.

But I still wonder, do we go on this 'Crusade' to gain the liking of the Catholic Church, or is it for personal glory?

As if its for the liking of the Ope, then we have a very small chance of pleasing him. If its for personal glory, then I wish you more luck in that grassless country.

Gerhard Steffen walks in covered in blood from head to toe. He throws a scroll on the table showing the preliminary battle results.

"Every last one of the Venetian Rebels foolish enough to take up arms against the riech have been executed, that should teach the bastards"

Duke Ulrich Hummel angriliy gets to his feet and glares at the Chancellor.

Mein Chancellor Otto, you are a dummkopf if you think France is no threat! Swabians are dying relentlessly for no purpose, other than to drive the Franks from our lands. I cannot stand by and allow you to give the French no retribution for Sigismund's death. Indeed, you are doing the opposite! You are allowing them to pillage our lands.

I feel disgusted at the "wise" electors that pass edicts harnessing retribution for a murdered elector who once led this Reich.

Duke Ulrich motions to Prinz Jobst to take his place as he storms out of the Diet.

The Count of Venice stands to speak

Lord Gerhard,

My man has sent a message to your quarters regarding my most humble gratitude.

You victory has been the total annihilation of the Venetians forces on the main land.

I thank you for your service to the Reich.

My dear Duke Ulrich,

as one of the Reich's "wise" electors, it has never been my intention for you to be disgusted. I'm sure in due course the French will feel the might of the Reich. For the moment though things will have to remain as they are.

Gerhard Steffen

I got your message Count, and thank you again.

Good luck to the Franconian armies pursuing the polish in the north.

Peace with the English was expensive, I genuingly hope that it was worth it.

*the messenger, receiving yet another letter, looks highly nervous before addressing the diet*

Ermm my noble men, my Count wishes to ask whether it was... wise to pay the English a total of 18500 florins for an alliance after they had attacked us and we are even allowed to take one of their cities? Would a lower amount not have sufficed?

OOC: The balance on that was very generous. Generous alone would have raised the relations and made em accept. Could have saved over 4-5k florins!
