(Berun Times.) November 12th 1925

"STABLLITY IN BERUN: TODAY AT EXACTLY 9:35 AM THE EMPRESS ADDRESSED THE NATION REPORTING ON THE ON GOING MANHUNT FOR FORMER CHANCELLOR VOGELS FOLLOWERS.

TANYA: We have managed to capture most of the former United Germania party. However the former Vice chancellor is still missing. However I wish to personally reassure teh nation that the lies the allies spread about our great fatherland are indeed false. We will soon have the traitors all in custody and they will meet the same fate as their leader. 

We also are still very much ready to keep fighting the empire has not been beaten in over 100 years and I will not be the one who breaks that streak. We will fight and defeat our enemies or we will die the most honorable deaths all you brave warriors deserve.

"WITH THOSE WORDS WHICH WERE DELIVERED BY EMPRESS TANYA VON BERUN 3 DAYS AGO. THE EMPRESS HAS MANGED TO RALLY THE NATION BEHIND HER AND VOLOUNTER RATES FOR THE MILITARY ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES REGARDING THE EMPIRES SITUATION."

(Strategic HQ).

Tanya once again found herself seated at the head of a large oak table surrounded by her military staff.

With the manhunt that had been launched back in late February there had not been much time to call a big conference to discuss the overall war situation but so far Tanya was very pleased with the reports.

"With the Timely arrival of the 3rd and 79th mage battalions along with the 23rd infantry division the uprising in arene has been defeated."

"You did make certain to try and avoid civilian casualties correct."

"Yes mam only armed individuals were attacked. Fortunately we got there before the republic took advantage of the situation."

"Good and what is the overall situation like in the west?"

"Stable mien Kaiserin. The republics recent offensives have been costing them dearly. Intelligence believes that the republic is beginning to conscript its colonial citizens to make up numbers. "

"Excellent that means they are beginning to scrap the bottom of the barrel."

"We should attack now while their vulnerable. We must show teh enemy our power and crush them a message to all who dare to oppose us." A general says standing up and slamming his fist on the table.

Tanya quickly gave the man a disapproving glare silencing him and he quickly shrank back down into his seat. " General let me explain why that's a bad idea." She says while standing up and pointing at the map." You see if we crush them and then the entente the rest of the world will surely rise up against us and I have no intentions of fighting the entire world."

"I assume then you have a plan your majesty."

'Indeed general Zettour. You see intelligence also confirmed that the republic is sending aid to the entente alliance. if we were to swiftly defeat the entente we could possibly intimidate teh allies to teh negotiating table."

"Why the entente and not teh republic mam wouldn't defeating them send a stronger message."

"While I see your point General think about it the main country is defeated and then the colonies go rogue and then it upsets the balance of power too much. Defeating the entente will also shift teh balance a little bit but not as much if we were to defeat the republic."

"I Understand Your majesty what are your orders."

Tanya grinned this is exactly what she wanted. Men willing to obey her orders while offering logical add on s to her plans or adjustments. Her smile only grew at the prospect of wealth the empire would have as well as peaceful lives for her people by the end of her reign.

"I will lead my elite mage guard ahead of the north sea fleet and the 45th marine corps. However I want intel to leak that me and my guards will be present there."

"And which location would that be mam."

Tanya smiled again as her eyes lit up in excitement. " The Orse Fjord."
