Breaking news from England:

In foreign news today, British forces have occupied Belgium at the request of her government. France and Germany were both rumored to have had their sites on her, but she has joined under the crown for her continued protection, we welcome the Flemish and Walloons to our fold! Increased supplies of chocolate and stockings are already evident on the open market.

On other fronts, Norway has also asked to be brought under the protection of the crown. Apparently there were fears and rumors of occupation via Sweden and Denmark. The people of Norway are now safe, and greater supplies of fish & chips are expected to hit local markets in a matter of days, and yes children, cod liver oil as well.

In further news from Europe, Germany has announced that she intends to subjugate the peoples of Holland. While Britain does not wish to go to war with any of the major powers of Europe, especially Germany, she cannot stand by and see this free nation subjugated by the Huns. Therefore, an army has been sent as a peacekeeping force to the shores of Holland. While this is sure to anger the Germans, the Government wishes to state that this maneuver
is simply a matter of protecting a free and sovereign nation, and not one of aggression against the German people.

In related news, it appears that Holland may not be the only country in Germany’s sites. It would seem that Germany is building armies in the North, ostensibly to attack either Russian or British holdings in the area. As a preventative measure, England has ordered the fleet in Norway to make no aggressive maneuvers, but to offer assistance to the Russian fleet in
Sweden, should she need it. Unfortunately, there was no time to alert the Russian ministries to this measure, it is hoped that the Russian Government will take no offense to England’s offer of support in this instance.
