Dear Catherine the Great
The Republic was interested of Marocco in order to arrange a warm welcome for Pirates to the Mediterranean sea. At that time Ottomans openly threatened the future of The Republic, so it was natural for The Republic to declare war against Ottomans and liberate Marocco.
I wonder how you were expecting Ottomans to be able to deal a finishing blow if The Republic came to help the First Guardian of Peace by declaring a war to Ottomans.
I tell you how you did: you had plans to invade and conquer Sweden while The Republic fought with Austria against Ottomans. When you would had doubled your forces on northern Germany you would had came to pick Vienna like it would had been a cherry on a tree. Alas! That sweet cherry would had gone to the foul mouth!
Your plan failed because it came to you as a surprise how succesful we were limiting the Ottoman threat. So, now your evil plot is partially ruined and exposed. What say you? You say as the most productive country in a world having the biggest armies in the world that ooops, my plan did not work perfectly and now I may soon not be a clear domina of the world anymore, and that this must change.
For your information: Napoleon said that he may soon begin to think that Russians should be pushed at least to the other side of Ural mountains, if not alltogether to the China, if Russia doesn’t immediatly change her hostile politics against The Republic and reduce a threat they pose to peace and justice in Europe.
Sincerely
Michel Ney
