Only for Theron To the Fascismo of Italy, The concerns of the Italian people are valid, however I ask you to reconsider. My "expansion" thus far has been the reclamation of the Empire's rightful territory, and we have no motivation to expand beyond that.
While we have occupied the full extent of countries we liberated our land from, this has been more to stop uprisings and less for conquest, hence why we were willing to split Romania, and cede large sections of Yugoslavia to you.
The matter can wait for now, as the empire currently has other concerns, but in due time I urge you to think it over.
Sincerely, Sir Kent, King of Austria-Hungary Only for Warlord247 I fear that the esteemed Sir Kent, for all his wisdom, has still not given this matter proper consideration. He does not seem to realize that these lands, though briefly held by Austria, are Italian ancestral lands. Perhaps he considers that the Italians are less attached to their land than the Austrians? If so, then we assure him that he is in grievous error. Or perhaps he supposes that only Austria is entitled to pursue historical claims? Need we remind Sir Kent that not only Italy, but almost the whole of the claimed Austrian territory, was once ruled from Rome? It is difficult for us to countenance a partnership with a country that maintains a claim on Italian territory.
În more serious matters, I had understood, based on what France told me and the division of Romania, that Austria is now in cahoots with Poland and the Soviets, so I was definitely going to take the French side, but based on CDG's public statements, it seems like that's not actually the case? What are your diplomatic relations with your eastern neighbors? Theron only To the Italian Fascismo, This "brief period" you speak of lasted nearly 6 centuries, and started with the Italian leaders of the time ceding the land to the Empire of Austria. The claims you have made are outrageous presumptuous at best, and outright war mongering at worse. I made it explicitly clear in my first two telegraphs that I wished not for war. Not only that, but this idea of "no other country being allowed claims" is preposterous. I offered you Serbia because it was rumored you had Balkan ambitions, and I didn't want you giving up land without receiving something in return. This was not the only offer I was willing to make either, however you never asked, choosing instead to approach the situation from a militant viewpoint from the very beginning. Such intimation tactics may work on the like of Ethiopia, however I ensure you that they will not work against the Austro-Hungarian. Once again, I ask you to reconsider your stance. War is not necessary. (To answer your other question my relationship with the east is... complicated. Don't worry about that tho, just act in whatever way would be realistic for your country. If it means I'm outnumbered that's fine, its going to happen sometimes ) Sincerely, Sir Kent, King of Austria-Hungary

However, perhaps it is the fault of the translator. We would like to believe that it is the fault of the translator, and therefore offer, as a gesture of good faith, the services of a translator who truly grasps all the finer points of our language. Though we doubt whether the full beauty of the Italian language can be truly rendered in the rough German speech. You speak of history. We remind you of your own history. You speak of centuries of occupation of Italian lands. We remind you of centuries of Italian occupation of Austria - indeed, your own capital of Vienna is a Roman settlement. We remind you, but we make no claim. We do not seek a cause for war. We remember our history. We remember the Austrian occupation of Italy, and we remember the Italian conquest of Noricum. But we choose to live in the present, not the past, and renounce any claim on Austrian territory. We advise you to do the same.

Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov , I see what you meant in your previous message. Italy is indeed greatly concerned by the behavior of our neighbors to the east and agrees that this aggression needs to be stopped. Do we have a plan of action?
By the way, have my factories been producing all this time and has there been any recruiting? Only for Theron of Acragas The USSR wrote me a message filled with paranoia and disrespect even though it it is obvious to everybody that it is clearly betraying our alliance with Austria-Hungary. Still we need to do things discreetly. I hope you understand that the two most dangerous countries are Austria-Hungary and the USSR. If the former comes to its senses I don't wish any hostilities with them, but Austria-Hungary has to go. As I said we can't be open about this and I will firstly take Austria-Hungary on my own. If it starts to look like I'll lose you'll have to help. If I get into war with the USSR, you can openly join.
I see you have been talking with Austria-Hungary and it may seem a natural ally to you, but trust me, it is not an ally it is a parasite that uses other countries to advantage and destroys them afterwards. They seem to be already making treaties with the USSR and Poland and there will be no room for you in that alliance. If you don't believe me and warn Austria-Hungary, you will soon see Northern Italy lost. If you decide to join me, you will regain your lost lands in the Adriatic sea region.'
Edit: If you see this, I invaded Albania and accused you to justify it, but it was just to have a reason to assert military presence in the Balkans.

I mean okay, but it's not WW1. I'd imagine every big country can use under 10,000 paratroopers.

Also, I can just change them to amphibious landings.

The Albanian military has fell into conflict with the French and is suspected of conspiracy with Italy. To ensure Zog's peaceful reign, the French government sees it necessary to reduce the power of the Albanian military.
The 28th Army currently situated in Sfax, with the support of 450 tanks and 900 guns produced in southern France make an amphibious landing on Durrës. A 7 is needed to win against the Albanian force of 30,000 infantry, 150 tanks and 300 guns.

In the Canary Islands 5000 soldiers and 2 destroyers sail to take control of Madeira.
10,000 soldiers assault Fuerteventura again facing 3000 (7 to win for all attacks)
7,000 from Lanzarote attack Gran Canaria facing 2,000
15,000 attack Tenerifa facing all remaining forces
1,000 attack La Gomera facing 300

Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, this strike against Albania is completely unprovoked, and pushes into the Austro-Hungarian sphere of influence! Albania poses no risk as a country, and even if that were to change my empire could handle it. I suggest you remove your troops immediately.

I suggest you lower your hypocrisy levels and let France deal with an actual threat. France lost 40,000 valiant men fighting for the freedom of Albania against Italy and we will make sure their blood was not spilled for nothing. Your forces in illegally occupied Yugoslavia greatly outnumber ours in Albania, so there is no threat to your empire.

I am not illegal occupying Yugoslavia, the country of Yugoslavia has been returned to its rightful place in the empire. And as I mentioned before if Albania were to actually be a threat I would have my forces eliminate said threat. However I've seen no reason for this invasion. If you can give me a good reason then I will allow it, and even use my forces to assist in this liberation.
