Octitania
"Octitatia is not interested in war with Arkiania...We do not wish to make war against the Arkianian state and the Arkianian people, whom we wish prosperity and peace.
Our government has no territorial ambitions and we do not aim to violate the sovereignty of Arkiania. We don't see ourselves as a nation of conquestors and we don't aim to be seen as one.
However, our patience is not limitless, and we do not wish to be a nation of victims. We are willing to defend themselves ourselves, our sovreignty and the freedom of our people.
It is time that Arkianian aggression comes to an end. We will expel any enemy and foreign forces from our own territory, to defend our lands and our people. I am certain that the international community will understand that such is a fair and just struggle, as our people do. I also hope that Arkianian government will understand it, leave our lands so our nations can live peacefully, respecting each other sovreignty.
...I can only salute our brave soldiers again, who are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect our citizens and our nation, building a lasting peace through their sacrifice".
Sephanos Menelaus stood up and moved from the desk as soon as the red light of the camera switched off. His facial expression looked even more serious than while he was reading his message, a message which would may change Octitanian history forever. It was certainly the most important address in his political career although he was not too nervous.
"Perfect! It was excellent. A perfect execution for a perfect speech", Fotis Alkaios, who could be sometimes too expressive in his remarks and judgement. Alkaios had been the head of the electoral campaign which had elected Menelaus to Prime Minister as nationalist candidate in the 1597 legislative election. In the last months, he was hired as productor for the state television of the Octitania.
"Did I look too tired?", Menelaus asked. "I wanted to give to my message a tone of even more strength".
"Yes! Yes!", Alkaios replied. "I believe you did even better than I expected".
"I'm glad that was the case", Menelaus said. "Excuse me, leave us alone one moment", the Prime Minister added when he saw Dionysius approaching to them.
"General Panos Coeus has arrived", Dionysius said as soon as Alkaios disappeared. "If you are tired we can start the meeting immediately".
"No, no, I am fine", the Prime Minister replied. "We have not time to lose".
"Great", Dionysius replied. Dionysius had been the Prime Minister's personal assistant from 1597, until he became government speaker a few months ago. A retired military officer, who certainly did not lack communication skills and common sense, he had unexpectedly became one of the Octitanian officials closest and most trusted by Menelaus in his government".
"It seems we have time, at least for now", Dionysius continued, "as Arkianian response remains as endurable as it was two hours ago. He will tell you the details, I guess, but I guess that we would have still time to decide if we should launch our second offensive immediately".
"As soon as you are finished", Dionysius continued as Menelaus was busy reading some documents that his assistant had just given him, "we will leave to Karamati, where we have an act with troops there. It will help to increase the strength of your message and will increase the morale of our troops...Tomorrow we will see again, a two-hour meeting with the General Staff before the council of minister meeting at 10 am. Depending how things go by then, we may decide if you give a second addres after that. It is better avoid to saturate with too much information, at least for now".
"You're probably right", Prime Minister Menelaus replied. "Let's go, it is better not to make the General wait too much".
