The cards that reduce inflation shows up normally when your inflation is 5% or more...is it the case. If you don't have one, I'll have to tweak the scripts to fix that.

It is at 4%......it is alright. It will go back down eventually. I thought those 3 cards were there all of the time..... or be back in six months ....or their opposites.

Rebels have risen in the Russian Protectorate of Khiva. Though the majority of the populace is happy as Russian subjects, the rebels are citing the new railroads and Russian immigration as reasons for the uprising. The new rail lines and Russian immigrants are there for the purpose of peacefully exploiting the area's resources, bringing wealth and modernization to the area, which is admittedly disrupting the backward and nomadic lifestyle the local populace is used to. While most in the area are happy with the perks of modern society, there is of course those elements which are upset at the disruption of their old ways.
The Czar has ordered three corps of colonial infantry to the area in order to restore order. Instead of waiting for the other two corps to arrive, Gen. Kaufman chose to disobey orders and attack the rebel's positions. While Kaufman's soldiers carried the field, heavy casualties were suffered.
The other two corps arrived on the scene after the battle, and the rebels - who have been knocked on their heels - will be finished off soon. His highness has ordered the Okhrana to infiltrate the region, find the subversive elements, and root them out, so the rule of law can be maintained.

Was thinking that after Germany so kindly offered a less expensive older transport squadron.......
Great Britain....I previously accepted your offer .....will you be terribly offended if we reconsider? Other options have appeared. We were a bit hasty.
Yes, we have troops waiting that we would like to have in Africa..... and we understand the Natives are getting Restless
I don't want to bother Britain and won't make an offer if he needs/wants the deal.... I was just offering my last "old" transport, now cruising in the Indian Ocean (so it will be back in Antwerp only in August if we make an agreement).
The funny thing is that Germany sold almost all her initial ships but 2 at the moment....Rule Britannia

The Office of Economics has issued the latest information on Belgium. Inflation which had been at 5% has leaped to 12% suddenly. "They didn't have to tell us it went up!" said a patron of one of the market vendors. Prices have taken an upturn and the citizens are feeling it. Minister Van Loon was unavailable for comment.

Berliner Tagesblatt, October 1880
Two pieces of news have retained our attention today, one here and another farther north.
The first one is not good, and is related to the economic crisis that suddenly stroke Europe in the last fortnight. Inflation in Germany has jumped to 10%, and the government just take strong and costly measures to curb it down. Let's hope similar measures will be taken by our neighbours so that the crisis cease quickly, as it's impact on all costs is damaging all economies on the continent.
The other is better. Ministerpräsident Prins Fürst von Bismarck held high level talks with the King of Sweden Oskar II during the last 3 months. On a surprise visit to the king's summer residence in Ekerö castle, nearby Stockholm, the two have agreed that Sweden and Germany should sign a defensive alliance, in order to preserve stability and peace inside the Baltic and Scandinavia. The head of state met yesterday evening and the treaty was signed, just before a gala dinner was hosted at the king's palace.
The German Baltic squadron shall set sail tomorrow to pay off a visit to the Swedish fleet off Stockholm sund in 2 days, where Prins Bismarck will board the flagship for the return trip home.

Following the recent tensions that occurred in the island of Sao Tome off the coast of Kamerun, and in nearby Mbini region, the governments of Spain and Germany have concluded an agreement for the sharing of their respective influence and intervention in Africa, more or less dividing the continent along the equatorial divide, i.e. all of the lands north of Kamerun, Centrafica & Kenya being under Spanish jurisdiction, and the south being under Germany’s. Both nations pledge to respect in the future their respective colonial holdings.
All Spanish assets in former Spanish Guinea are transferred entirely to Germany, in exchange of which a squadron of German ironclad battleships will be immediately transferred to the Spanish Navy in Cadiz, where Spaniard crews and officer shall take over.
Last but not least, the German trade houses have made a long deal commitment to Spanish traders to purchase 15,000 tons of merchandise (mostly sugar and tobacco) from the Andalusian warehouses. This commercial agreement shall last at least for 5 years.

Communique of Foreign Minister Van Loon to all Nations
Belgium is considering declaring war on some African tribe(s) in the near future - in the Congo area. We wonder if any Nation has any objection to this? These are People we are bringing Civilization and Increased Economies to and will be bettering their lives and see this as the bringing the Greatest Benefit to the Greatest Number of People.
We ask, as we are Essentially a Neutral Nation.

Germany has no objection that our Belgian friends and neighbours bring the lights of civilization to the heathens in the center of the Dark continent.
What we, and spain, experienced in Kamerun, is that large presence of European troops is sometimes sufficient not only to gain control (without war, provided the region has no troops/city), but also sometimes to provoke the natives into declaring war by themselves (as happened to us in the Teke-Duala chiefdom)...so technically you are not the agressor and still respect your 'neutral' status...

Herrero Uprising
The Herrero tribe of southwest Africa has risen in revolt against German forces in Windhoek. It is reported that their motives were the increase in German presence in the nearby coastal areas and, recently, the arrival of new German colonists in the region of Namib.
Soirée at Schloss Kalisz
In a surprise move from Kaiser Willem I, the emperors of Prussia, Russia and Austria-Hungary met at a private dinner and party in the castle of Kalisz, near the Germano-Russo-Austrian border in western Poland. it is rumored the reunion was prepared in utmost secrecy by the private secretaries of the monarchs, and the respective ministers and foreign affairs secretaries were not informed.
However, a few wonder if the hand of Prins Bismarck is not behinf the meeting.
Nevertheless, the sovereigns reaffirm the friendly relations between their respective countries and their commitments to peace and balance of power, especially in Europe
War in South West Africa Continues!
The uprising of the Herrero tribe in Namibia continues. A column of German colonial troops, led by Hauptman Clemens Bernhardis was ambused in the Odiene steppe just east of the recent encampment of Windhoek. After the initial confusion, the German Mausers proved their effectiveness and defensive fire repulsed the assaulters.
The SWA Schutzen have been given orders to pursue, while field brigades are sent from the coastline to the interior and new Askaris raised in Kamerun just landed in desolated Skeleton coast, next to the Kalahari desert.
Instructions were received from the Kolonial Amt in Berlin to eradicate once and for all this menace and ensure conquest of the Herrero lands.

The Italian Government wishes to express its regret at the loss of so many French soldiers. Unfortunately, the local forces slipped across the border into Algeria before we could engage them in battle and destroy them. However, thanks to the assistance provided by France, Tunisian rebels have laid down their arms and returned home.
