Looking to Lorenz, Hans rises to speak

I am quite surprised you would attack a brother Roman for the opposite reason and stain your sword with their blood, who have not raised their arm against us for many years now and have held the Venetians in check.

Even if you were to attack the Byzantines, there would be less of German life, unless you believe you can achieve victory without a single fallen. Regardless, there may be riots, but there are counter-riots as well. Re-unification or not, at this point, the Lutherian heretics will spill German blood and they are not sanctioned by the diet.

Save your words and anger for these blasphemers.
