Imperial Diet VII

The Chancellor:

Interesting observation Duke von Salza.

I'd like to point out that the reason you have not noticed my micro-management is BECAUSE it was not ME micro managing your Duchy. The only thing I unwittingly did was send reinforcements from Staufen to what seemed to be the 1st SHA. It turns out that I have more than likely spread the plague to this force and for that I apologies.

But please note, I regard the plague as a secondary concern to the mass of French armies that could burst across your front line with little resistance. The least of my worries was the plague spreading considering Ruppel is already infect and could therefore LEAD the infected 1st SHA with no consequence.

Given his skill that seems like the best course of action to me.

Please understand my point about a "defensive posture" is meant to describe the future not the past. If you wish to be place permantently in this status then please let me know.

Otherwise, we seem to be in some disagreement, therefore my request is final for this season.

Place your Duchies orders with the Chancellor's office in the Imperial Orders Buro immediately so that I may take action.

If, of course you wish initiate battle please go ahead my lord!!

Austria is verily the most brutal theater. May the rest of her Electors remain safe, from Hungary and from the plague.

Herrmann Steffen:

I've received some preliminary reports that we've recaptured Rome. If this is so - well, congratulations first of all, and thank you very much Prinz Dieter - then are there any plans to move the capital back? What's the condition of the city like?

The Chancellor

Turning to address Hermann Steffen.

I can confirm that Prinz Dieter has retaken Rome with little loss of life.

I'm hoping young Hermann that Count Erlach can engage the French and knight you. Unfortuantely the size of the Riech's forces in the area are far too large to use the technical work around.

Now the Chancellor looks around the rest of the Chamber

I would prefer to keep the Capital in Nuremburg for the moment, however if the Kaiser wishes to make the change then I will move the War Office and that of the Exchequer if ordered to do so.

**gibsonsg91921** · 01-15-2008, 23:14

If this is well and no hindrance to Duke Lothar, we shall keep the capital at Nuremburg until we are fully reunited to Rome.

**TinCow** · 01-15-2008, 23:47

That is acceptable to me. It would be foolish to hold court in a place which would require the Electors to traverse hostile territory just to visit it. Until a reliably safe passage to Rome can be secured, I am willing to let Nuremburg remain under Imperial control. In any case, the capital has little importance until the time of the next Diet anyway.
