Ottoman Empire

With the Spanish still rampaging in Italy, you halt offensive operations against Prussia, instead greatly reinforcing the border.

Code: (Battle of Venezia) [Select]
6+3 vs. 5+6
Ottoman army destroyed!

4+3 vs. 4+6
Ottoman army destroyed!

5+3 vs. 2+6
4+3 vs. 3+6
Ottoman army destroyed!

Spain wins the battle!

Operations to retake Venezia fails however.

May 1902

Empire Français

Several fleets are built to safeguard the French possessions in the Med. Another assault is launched on Brittany, this time with the benefits of Ottoman-designed radios to coordinate the attacks.

3+3 vs. 3+6
French army destroyed!

4+3 vs. 3+6
French army destroyed!

6+3 vs. 4+6
French army destroyed!

Prussia wins the battle!

France wonders if Albion would let it play with its new plane toys, as they seem the only way to retake our rightful territory from the Prussians.

((GAH, sorry, one week out and argh'd with anxiety))

Albion... finds Prussia's logistics a good story to share over tea. They provide escort.


Army:
Relax and Practice drills.

Navy:
All from Norwegian > N.Atlantic
All from North > Channel

Diplomacy:
Albion warns Spain on pushing its citizenry and military against foreign wars.

Trade:
Send Bomber blueprints to the Ottomans and the French.

Albion is reminded as to its trade obligations it agreed to for this tech.  [Next turn, of course.]

Albion is very forgetful ._. It asks what the statements were again, because the paperwork is lost among the paperwork.

State of Prussia offers Albion the provinces of Norway, South and Northern Sweden, if Albion joins the Spanish-Prussian alliance against the Ottomans and Frenchmen, pointing out that as member of Spanish-Prussian alliance, Albion could remain at the rear and spend its time leisurely drinking tea and eating crumpets all the time!

All we ask in return is to share secrets of Strategic Bombers with us and our friends the Spanish.

A copy of the relevant documentation has been forwarded to the Albion Embassy in Istanbul.  [IE check your PM; TLDR you said you'd send Strat Bombers]

A note is attached saying that providing the Spanish or Prussians with said technology would be providing direct material aid to an enemy, and tantamount to an act of war.

State of Prussia also would unduly protect Albion from Ottomans, who are already sending threats in public at mere thought of Albion-Prussian alliance.

Albion notices that all statements were made in the context of War ._. Albion is now at peace to everyone. . .and is currently deliberating on whether or not to act at the moment.

Of course, this uncertainty isn't obvious...to the untrained masses of intelligence officers in foreign countries. Much.

[Posted OOC query]

So Albion decides to fulfill what its ancestors have wished.

((I am just going to remind everyone that tech transfer is only effective at the end of the month, so the Ottomans don't get to bomb stuff just yet.))

Albion

Teams of engineers depart for Geneva and Constantinople to set up bomber factories there. Back home, your scientists idle in their labs (you might want to assign them a new project).

During that time in Spain, the finance ministry has difficulties paying the army's salaries after the money from Italy stopped flowing. About a division's worth of men garrisoned near Barcelona have already deserted.

Launch fleets from #65 and #64 and engage the enemy
Launch fleet from #62 and engage in the Gulf of Lyon

2 armies from #67 to #68 (peacefully)
1 army from #66 to #67

Build AA in #61 & #63
Build Airfield in #62
Build Port in #67

France announce that, given Spain's refusal to pursue hostilities with Prussia and turning against France's ally, and Spain explicit threat of invasion, it will not allow Spanish troops to cross into 68 unless a good reason is given. France also suddenly realize the map is totally out of date and doesn't show its latest fleet construction for some reason, and will fix that in the morning.

Spain comments that the move has a perfectly good reason from our point of view, but not necessarily from France's. The troops will move on to Italy to support the Spanish Marine Battalion there. If France does not wish to permit their passage, the Spanish relief force will be ordered to shoot their way to the marines.

France points out that since Spain threatened to invade our islands, we don't really want their troops to cross the Alps to threaten our province. France however would rather avoid a war with Spain if at all possible. Surely, Spain does not want to face the bombing an attack on France would imply?

There is a simple solution to France attempting to bomb Spain. The use of Prussian radar systems, then eliminating the French military.
