Good luck Kho at trying to get the jews support after the massacre of Bhagdad and ass loads of other incidents the jews aren't too happy with the Ottomans at this point...
Listen Russians! Today I have heard word of my christian brothers betrayal of the Orthodox church! Ecumenical Patriarch Joachim II of Constantinople has sold out christ and has decided to join the Muslim heathens in the Ottoman Empire! All over the Ottoman empire good christian men are falling to the temptations and bribes by the Muslim hordes to join their side against our righteous cause! I must say to those of the orthodox church who dare join the Ottoman ranks they shall be recognized as a heretic in the eyes of our lord and savior Jesus and as such shall be shown no quarter in heaven nor on earth! The Tsar's grand army marches now south to the ottoman border and there they shall begin fighting the heathenist hordes I must make this warning to any of those christians who think of succumbing to the muslim temptations you shall be crashed against the rocks much like the waves of the black sea against the cliffs at Bozhurets! I say god speed to those brave christian men who march now with the Tsar's army and i must let them know the Father and The Son are on their side and they shall soon bring victory against the Ottoman Heathens! -Philaret Drozdov, Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna
I was today Sitting in my study looking over several texts when in came a young scholar he looked very stressed and disturbed in his hand he carried a newspaper I asked him "my Son what is it that bother you, so much that it caused you to come rushing into my study without a single knock or warning?" He put down the paper infront of me as he said quickly "Reb Chaim, I have word from the Ottomans Hakam Bashi Yakir Gueron has sent out a speech! he said to all the jews in their empire to support the war against the Russias!" I picked up the paper and sent him away sighing as i read over Hakam Bashi Geuron's words I was most disturbed by what I read. He thinks that the jews should support the Ottomans this is highly hypocritical and disturbing to me I need not remind Hakam Bashi Geuron of the Massacre of Baghdad back in 1828 and when the Ottomans accused us of using blood to bake passover bread in 1840.these attacks and numerous discriminations and assaults against the jewish people by the Ottomans have caused inconceivable loss of life to the jewish community in the Ottoman empire and yet Yakir Geuron expects them to support their opressors! hypocrisy and manipulation is all he spreads I am sure Hakam Bashi will be sitting comfortably in a palace of Muslim make watching his people get massacred in the thosaunds and be completely content aslong as the Ottomans supply him with ample accomodations! I say to my fellow jews in the Ottoman Empire why follow the words of a man who seeks nothing but to sell out our people in exchange for earthly power and goods! -Reb Chaim Brisker, Rev of Brest, and Jewish Scholar
As many of you already know our comrades the Prussians have declared war against the ottomans and is at the threat of war with their austrian brethren. Now I must ask you grand soldiers of the Russias can we sit idly by while our christain brethren are dying and fighting with the heathen muslim and arab scum to the south? I say nay! We must rise to arms and protect our christian brethren against the muslim heathens! So I say to arms Russians to arms! For the Unity of the Slavic peoples may we crush the Ottomans and we warn our brethren in Romania to join in this Sacred War against the Dark Ottoman hordes least they be traitorous to their slavic brethren and face the wrath of the Grand Russian Bear
Today we declare war against the Ottoman Empire and we mobilize our armies against the heathens. Never once has the Proud Russian Bear bow down to the Foreigner not when Napoleon was at the walls of Moscow nor when the mongol hordes crossed the grand Volga river and sent Rus into a dark age of Tartar Rule we rose our people like a massive tide against the enemy and the oppressor and today we do the same against the Ottoman Hordes! Forward I say! from the Steppes, From the Pale, from the cold Siberian tundra, and from the bustling cities of Russia I ask to all good Christian men to take up arms in this Sacred War! Take up the Musket, take up the Saber, take up the Pike, For Today Russia goes to war! For Otechestvo! For the Tsar! and For God the Father, for Jesus our Savior, and For the Holy Ghost! -Tsar Alexander II announcing the Declaration of war against the Ottomans outside the Winter palace
As sat here in the winter palace reading the morning news I happened across a news article about our good neighbors and friends in the Prussian Empire, Prime Minister Bismark had announced his public relese the full version of the Treaty of Constantinopel. upon reading this i was overjoyed that Bismark had gotten up the courage to show the world the secrecy and treachery played out by the main writers of the article the Ottomans and the French Federation of Great Britain. But as i read down the situation become much more inticing as Emporer Pedro II ruler of brazil had openly questioned why the document had left out south america as one of its regions. This caused me to burst out in a small fit of laughter as I realized the brazilians had not figured out the omission of south america as a sphere of influance, well today i shall inform Pedro as to the answer to his question, We decided such an action against my protests (as I wanted the spanish to have supervision) in that territory to make it totally neutral, but I digress the answer is quite obvious if all of us had control over a certain sphere we needed some totally neutral landmass in which we may fight out are wars and it was decided south america was to be that battleground much like children have a empty lot or field in which they play their games we intended to use south america to the same effect a field in which to play a game, the greatest game of all, war. -Tsar Alexander II, Autocrat of the Russias, King of Poland, and Grand Prince of Finland in a interview to the Moskovskiye Vedomosti about Bismark's release of the full Treaty of Constantinople
The Russian people would like to congratulate the Dutch and the Prussians at their success in regaining their old lands back which where wrongly taken by the Belgians. We would also like to thank the Romanians on their wise decision to accept the Treaty of Odessa and hope that from this treaty a new age of prosperity and unity between the slavic peoples may occur. As for France's petty threats I believe they shouldn't call the kettle black, their support of the sovereignty of minor nations is hypocritical and humorous at best, we need not remind them of the Napoleonic era in which they conquered most of the German states. all the Prussians and the dutch are doing is regaining the land that belonged to their peoples. But I digress I must say if the french mobilize their forces against the Prussians or the Netherlands I will be forced to assist the Prussians and the dutch in the defense of their newly gained lands. -Tsar Alexander II, Autocrat of the Russias, King of Poland, Grand Prince of Poland, and the Liberator Tsar
