Subject: New Castille Appeals for Normand Intervention
Chancellor d’Anger, in a special meeting with the press this afternoon, has announced the Government’s receipt of an emergency appeal from New Castille. According to the Chancellor, Prime Minister Castelman of New Castille has requested the King send troops to New Castille to intervene in the situation.
“His Majesty has taken the request under advisement and is examining the situation closely,” the Chancellor reported. The King is in consultation with his Government, as well as allies and other interested parties, in an endeavor to find the find the best resolution to the situation in New Castille.
“Neither the King nor the Normand people wish to become embroiled in the internal affairs of other nations if the vital interests of both are not served,” the Chancellor continued. “Given the previous proclamations regarding the situation, the King is trying to decide if this situation fits the criteria He has set forth, regarding New Castille.”
Readers may recall that Delphia has pledged support to Normandie if the situation requires. Attempts to contact the Ambassadors from Iberia, Kent, and Canterbury were unsuccessful. This reporter was able to speak with the Karlsburger Ambassador, Erich von Westrich, who smiled and said, “Time will tell.”
The Chancellor also informed the assembled Press that the King had been working on two major announcements to be released today, but that the rapid development of events in the west would probably push them back.
