S07 Negotiations - Trying To Keep Hope Alive

W06.png

I am hopeful that I can do something to stir up the big three powers, Germany/Russia/Austria, into fighting each other. In Spring 07, Austria responds to my disclosure of Russia’s leak of the German war plans to me.

Germany jumps in, but in his typical “I know everything” approach.

This guy is insufferable. He then explains why he isn’t attacking Russia.

Austria then writes that he agrees with Germany, but we are in a “Catch-22” and nothing can be done.

I try to shrug it off with my typical good humor.

Meanwhile, Austria has told Russia about the leak. I cannot catch a break.

Great, that means that Italy’s bit of info also got leaked by Austria. I know all about it but then cover up and lie to Russia, even though the news is inevitably bad.

None of that is good, so I tell Italy first.

I then write to AGR, but I enhance Russia’s press a bit.

Italy and I further commiserate between ourselves about the situation.

Also, I came clean with Italy about what I told Russia.

I write back to AIGR, basically seeing if there’s anything to do.

Germany offers a vague ray of hope, with even fewer specifics than normal.

Screen Shot 2021-01-02 at 3.26.34 PM.png

Things are looking so bad, I even make an offer to England, and he doesn’t even bother to respond.

Screen Shot 2021-01-02 at 3.45.44 PM.png

I try another run with Germany.
