Helvan Embassy, Asguard, Hardenburgh Ambassador Ulrik Vengen sat in his office, facing the window that revealed the daily Hardenburghian protesters decrying Helvany's so-called aggression. Vengen did not agree that the Reich was the only aggressor in the Continuation War. There certainly were other nations that caused the war, namely Ceroulia and Hardenburgh. Ceroulia, more than the later, with its second imperialist attempt to seize a largely Helvanic nation, the Confederation of Holstein. Holstein wished to be independent. Greater Helvany had long obliged the Holsteiners their sovereignty and neutrality. In February of this year, Ceroulia began to annex the non-Helvanic portions of Holstein. Helvany, fearing Ceroulia may be entering Holstein to figuratively put a dagger to both Holstein and Greater Helvany's throat, began sending troops into Helvanic and Vettarian areas of the Confederation, setting the course to war. War came. Vettaria and Greater Helvany an aerial, naval, and ground offensive on Ceroulia itself.... Until Hardenburgh gave an ultimatum: CEASE HOSTILITIES. Greater Helvany and her main Axis ally, agreed. Vengen had been instrumental in that. However, it seemed he had failed to notice that Ceroulia withdrew before bidding its time to strike at the Helvanics and Vettarians' backyard again. Vengen was immediately ordered by Teutlin to plead with Hardenburgh's Prime-Minister, Frances Urquhart to put pressure on the Ceroulian government. Frances Urquhart may have done so, but it failed. With Greater Helvany, never ceasing from the fear of an attack from the West had mobilised and declared war on Alebcay, Ceroulia, Hallevel, and Hardenburgh. Within three days of the declaration, Abwehr and Waffen-SS forces were only 6 kilometres from Büchen, the Alebcain capital. In those three days, the Sahrid Caliphate had placed an embargo on the Axis, specifically on the Reich and arrested persons of Pact member-state citizenry. With the Helvanic offensive ground to a halt, Vengen and the world awaited the Helvans' next move. Vengen's thoughts were interrupted by his decoder machine breaking an encrypted code from the Reich to him. He got up, walked to the machine and picked up the paper filled with fresh print. It read:
Vengen was shocked, Ribbentropp had been arrested for conspiring against the Communists. And now here he was back in his position, again trying for an Axis-Wismar Interpact agreement. He was so shocked that this had come about, that he ran to his desk and picked up his cell to contact the Tranvean Ambassador to Asguard. "Come on, come on. Pick up!" Ulrik thought to himself. "Yes, this is Toerven. What is it, Vengen?" said the Tranvean voice. "Get your ass over here, Willem!" exclaimed Ulrik. The door opened, and Toerven's voice flatly stated, "I'm already here." "Come here and read this," Vengen said as he handed the message to Toerven. The aging Kaderaaner stared blankly at the paper before putting it down. "This...... this is bad news," Willem muttered. "Not only our we continuing a war, and betraying our eastern allies. But we are turning to the Reds." "I'm going to write a message to all governments... excluding the Wismar Pact governments.... Calling for peace," Ulrik stated. A Olive Branch of Peace A Dire Warning to Western Valoria Dear citizens and leaders of Free Valeria, Just three days ago, the Reich entered a war with the Hardenburghians, Ceroulians, and the Alebcains. I [Vengen] pleaded for the peace to be maintained, that not a single millimeter of Western Valorian border be altered. Nonetheless, war broke out. We [Western Valoria], whether it be Ceroulia, Alebcay, Holstein, Greater Helvany, etc. Whether we are Axis, Empire-Commonwealth, Imperial, or non-Aligned, we are all at fault. At about 2300 hours of the Third Day of the Continuation War, I received word from Teutlin from a person I was told had been imprisoned... Former Minister of Helvan Reich Foreign Affairs Teodor Ribbentropp has returned to his post. In response to the Caliphal embargo on the Axis and arrest of Axis' citizenry in their region, the Reich and the Federation of Vettaria are throwing away their honour by turning to the Temujai hordes to the East and betraying two of their Axis allies to them. Just so they can continue a war of stupidity. I urge and plead for world leaders to cease and desist hostilities between the Axis and the West Valorian Community and their allies, to create a dialogue to help stabilize the continent. I urge these nations to keep pre-2015 Western Valorian borders the same and unchanged... For the sake of peace and stability! Signed, x__Ulrik Vengen__x, Helvan Ambassador to Asguard Edited by Axis Pact, Sep 24 2015, 12:07 AM.

]Government House, 51 - 121 Ramillies Street H4 , 7NQ Asguard , The United Kingdom of Hardenburgh and Hibernia ![]() Official Communiqué of The United Kingdom of Hardenburgh and Hibernia | TO: The Government of Greater Helvany | FROM: Her Majesty's Foreign Secretariat| REGARDING: Peace | IMPORTANCE:HIGH | Encrypted: YES | The revered declaration of the Her Most Excellent Majesty's Government, The House of Commons, The Lords Temporal and Spiritual To Whom It May Concern: Whilst Her Majesty’s Government welcomes the peaceful overtures of Greater Helvany, it is with regret that they must be deemed too little, too late. After demanding that the Hardenburghian government accede to terms impossible to enforce, the Helvanic government abandoned all prospects of an amicable diplomatic resolution and embarked on an irresponsible and wanton aggression which has destabilised Western Valoria and compromised the interests of the United Kingdom and her allies. Consequently, status quo, ante bellum is not an operation Her Majesty’s Government is willing to entertain. Decisive and committed steps must be taken to ensure that the war making power of the Helvanic Reich is curtailed to an extent it can no longer threaten Western Valoria. To this end, Her Majesty’s Government requests that the Helvan Government accedes to a non-aggression pact. To ensure the longevity of this compact, the following terms must be implemented as part of any binding agreement reached between her Majesty’s Government and Greater Helvany as an indication of Helvany’s good faith. Helvany will agree to completely demilitarise its border with the Grand Duchy of Alebcay, thereby signifying Helvany’s intention not to embark on a policy of aggression against the Grand Duchy of Alebcay again. In order to achieve this, Helvany will:
Refusal of these terms will confirm Greater Helvany’s intention to remain a malevolent threat to the free people’s of Western Valoria. Consequently the United Kingdom, her Empire-Commonwealth and allies will be forced to take swift and decisive steps to guarantee Greater Helvany’s compliance. I have the honour to be, with high consideration, Sir, Your obedient servant, Edward Fredrick Lindley Irwin, 15th Earl of Westmoorland Permanent undersecretary to the Minister for Foreign and Commonwealth affairs, Head of the Foreign Office Secretariat Telephone :077 5267 3115 Fax:01223 336996 Email:Govt@Hardenburgh.gdh |

Official Communique of the Reich of Greater Helvany Addressed to the:Her Majesty's Foreign Secretariat || Addressed from the: Executive Offices of the Greater Helvan Reich ||| SUBJECT: Re:PEACE ||| Encryption: N/A To Wom It Concerns, [blocktext]Firstly, your communique should be addressed to Ulrik Vengen, not to the Reich's government. Secondly, let's get some facts cleared: the Ceroulian Empire entered Holstein, a key economic and neutral buffer zone between the Reich and the Ceroulians. Ceroulia did this TWICE, both times [February and June] we pleaded with Her Royal Majesty's Government of Hardenburgh to make diplomatic resolution. When that failed, and when the Hardenburghian Nation refused, only then did the Reich "embark on an irresponsible and wanton aggression which has destabilised Western Valoria and compromised the interests of the United Kingdom and her allies." The conflict would've been certainly avoided if Ceroulia ceased and desisted violating Holstein's sovereign will and neutrality. You don't want us to be in Alebcay, right? So we ask both of you not to be in Holstein. We are not interested in continuing relations the same as they were pre-war, post-war. As you say, "Decisive and committed steps must be taken to ensure that the war making power", and I shall expand it from just my nation to "Ceroulia, Alebcay, Holstein, Hallevel, Hardenburgh, and the Helvanic Reich is curtailed, where we are no longer able to wage a war upon each other. In regards to the following, we have added on to many: Greater Helvany will agree to completely demilitarise its border with the Grand Duchy of Alebcay, thereby signifying the Reich’s intention not to embark on a policy of aggression against the Grand Duchy of Alebcay again. In order to achieve this, Greater Helvany will but only if Alebcay, Ceroulia, Holstein, and Hardenburgh to similar steps: -- Withdraw the entirety of it’s ground force presently based within the region, leaving an infantry division equipped with light weaponry to participate in the control of the mutual border. One the condition, that there is only one Ceroulian reigment, two Alebcain regiments, and two Hardenburghian regiments of similar strength near Helvany. --We will NOT destroy historical land markers just for your uncultured pleasure. All Western fortifications are tourist attractions not war. -- A private Helvanic citizen has a right to be armed, its their right, its up to them. -- Will NOT dismantle any of our airbases but we will limit the amount of bombers, fighter bombers, attack air craft, fighters. On the condition that Ceroulia do similar steps in Hallevel, and Alebcay along its eastern borders. Guarantees regarding Greater Helvany’s ability to threaten Freedom of Navigation in Northern Valerian waters must also be obtained. To this end: -- Only 3% of all Helvan submarine bases on the Skandian peninsula will be decommissioned. Unless you want Federative subs in the North and Skandian Seas. -- Greater Helvany will not give you any of our ships or subs. You've already sunk the 60% of the Kriegsmarine. So not worth you do anything further in that regard. -- Greater Helvany will NOT build carriers for 10 years. We will build guided missile cruisers as our larger surface combatants. The Helvanics will not pay a re-compensate the Royal Navy or the Hardenburghian merchant marine. First of all you sank our Naval ships, and the only merchant marine we sank tonnage were Ceroulians; so no. -- Greater Helvany will only accept moral responsibility for beginning the present conflict in Western Valoria but Ceroulia will as well.. To this end: -- The Helvanic government will issue an unconditional apology to the Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom. -- Furthermore, Helvany will compensate ONLY military families of the Alebcain and Hardenburghian nations. -- Ceroulia & Hardenburgh will pay for damage to the Reich's economy during the Sahridi Embargo. -- Ceroulia & Hardenburgh will pay for military families of the Reich. Or conditionally, we can all work together in rebuilding the Continent, and re-compensating people, countries, provinces, etc, etc, affected by this war. By accepting these terms, the Helvanic Government will indicate to Her Majesty’s Government that it is truly ready to abandon it’s aggressive recourse and step forth into a new era of peaceful cooperation with its Western valerian neighbours. In return, Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom will enter talks with the Sahdri government aimed at establishing an affordable, long term arrangement which satisfies Helvany’s oil needs. Moreover, Her Majesty's Government will make arrangements to reduce it's military footprint in Western Valoria. Refusal of these terms will confirm the West’s intention to remain a malevolent threat to the people's in Central Valoria, and continuing starvation of the Helvanic peoples. Go to hell, Signed, x__Karl Hadler__x Karl Hadler, Fuhrer of Greater Helvany |

As the Helvanic government has confirmed itself, this would be a reckless course which would merely contribute to the continued suffering of the Helvanic people. Her Majesty’s Government has no moral obligation to the Helvanic people who have been gravely mistreated by their own government. In demanding the terms previously listed, Her Majesty’s Government responds to that highest call of duty; the right and wish of the Hardenburghian people to live free from fear and suffering caused by the malevolent misdeeds of Greater Helvany. The Helvanic government now has a forty-eight hour window in which to indicate it’s unconditional acceptance of the terms issued by Her Majesty’s Government. After this time has elapsed, necessary measures to secure the sovereign future of Alebcay and Hardenburgh will commence.

Asguard, United Kingdom of Hardenburgh and Hibernia, 1130 Hours; June 13, 2015 As Vengen paced his office after receiving a 2 hour period of silence from Teutlin, this was just a few minutes after Hardenburgh's uncompromising message. He also read in the news, that Skandia's surplus oil and the military surplus fuel stores were now being used. And now the Reich's allies, Vettaria and Ostria had agreed to send fuel, as well as Ostrian military divisions. The Reich had also established a trade agreement in that time with both the East and the Caliphate. As the minutes went by, it seemed the Reich was bidding its time and preparing another series of strikes. Finally, there was a knock and the TN officer in charge of communications entered. "Here is Teutlin's response, the Fuhrer wants it to remain in its package until it has arrived to the Hardenburghian government. You are not to open it until then," he flatly stated. Vengen nodded, reached for the envelope as the officer handed it to him. Vengen requested his private car after placing an appointment with the Foreign Office. Within thirty minutes he was in his car going through the embassy's gate. Vengen reached his destination in a short period of time. Government House on 51 - 121 Ramillies Street was a symbol of Hardenburghian power and diplomacy. But he was strangely not interested he had more pressing matters. Vengen handed his papers to a guard who nodded him through after a short, yet thorough inspection. Edited by Greater Helvany, Sep 28 2015, 02:03 PM.
