The Rumor Mill of the European Powers (1797 Q3)
Austria: 96+4=100

Rebels Holding on (Without Russia Propping them up): 1
Who's Corps was Sent: 6th, 10th, 11th
Who commands: 1
Marshal Mortier is in command of the Army of the East.
To describe the situation within the Austrian Empire as a diplomatic clusterfuck (As one Dennis Martin Severin would say), would be a remarkable understatement of numerous ethnic groups trying to kill each other.
Emperor Francis, however, took the desire to rebuild and reform his empire, into something more under his control, as a challenge worthy of him, and one that would be backed, By French Muskets.
Once word spread that the French and Austrians were agreeing to an alliance, the great rebels that were too busy murdering each other, gave up, at least their citizens did.
The Armies and their government, now flush with Russian Guns, Silver, and bodies, were quickly continuing their campaigns of terror and battle against Archduke Charles.
But the news of French Forces in Austria soon to arrive made all of those that still lived for their Emperor Cheer.
Napoleon had chosen to send his more untested commanders into the Fray, Mortier, who was by all accounts, a brilliant general who has never been in truly independent command, or even a command grater than a division, was given his first taste of it.
It was not a horrid choice, as some feared, and even his subordinates, Lefrvbre, Ney, and Serrurier were accepting of his orders with little fuss, though Marshal Ney insisted he leads the vanguard and the forward column, to the surprise of no one. He seemed to take to it as if he was leading a city garrison, keeping supply, and organization among his ranks. And despite his lack of battle experience, he was receptive to his more experienced subordinates.
He was not as prideful as they feared. But his orders were final. And they were good. Not like a Severin, and auclair or Davout level of clarity, but enough to give room for interpretation, and to keep doing things well/
And while he was still rather frosty with his counterpart, Archduke Charles, they both had a decent working relationship and kept in constant communication once he passed into Austrian Territory.
They would soon be finally putting an end to this rebellion. Perhaps there may be peace in Europe for a little while.
Reward: The Army of the East have crossed into Austria, and the Austrians have won the hearts and minds propaganda war for their other subjects, as many citizens living in the Republics are horrified and terrified of becoming not only a Russian puppet state but also possibly murdered by the armies trying to protect them.
The Army of the East and Archduke Charles have a steller, but a frosty, working relationship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prussia:87
The Reforms of their army continue slowly, but there is progress.
But a great reform has passed that is a benefit to all of the people of Prussia.
Serfdom has been officially Abolished.
Every man, every woman, and child, despite being subject to a crown, will no longer be tied to the lands they are born to.
Reward: Serfdom has been abolished in Prussia. All men may not be free, but they are not born slaves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GB: 9
Great Britain's Reputation in Europe has become second to France in terms of Pariah status.
They are infamous, and their army's reputation and their naval dominance have been called into question.
No one wishes, at least openly, wishes to take part in maintaining relations with the British Empire.
Reward: Britain has become, at least openly, Diplomatically isolated. Merchants are viewed with suspicion and fear. The Union Jack is not flown as openly in the coastal ports as it once was.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Negotiating the Release of the Prisoners From America: 89
To say that the British were able to steal their prisoners and ships back from the Americans was an understatement.
It was not by force of arms that they threatened them with. It was a complete and total blockade from Europe.
Jefferson may have been able to win many victories against the British, but even his supporters could not risk losing the markets of Europe.
Not when the US Navy, small in number, and now receiving the funding it needs, is not prepared for such ability to enforce American neutrality in European affairs.
Jefferson, despite his gut telling him not to, agreed.
But on one condition.
Britain's debts, ones that the United States owed to them, were being put on hold. All Payments would be stopped, with no interest gained on them, for 4 years, the remainder of Jefferson's term. To be renegotiated by either his next administration or the next president.
Reward: The British, despite being beaten, still had the reputation and the gall to threaten a total blockade of all European markets from American shipping.
And America blinked first, instead of calling the bluff.
A Failure of the Jefferson administration. Gaining next to nothing, except far less money in their deficit. And more time to prepare for whatever is to come
Jeffersons Failure will be felt throughout the American Psyche.
There will be blood, even as Jefferson, pragmatically, wishes for peace.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Russia:5
To say that the Russians were dealing with problems was an understatement.
The Russian nobility was not liking the games that Alexander was playing, making plans, and getting involved ni wars that, on the surface, did not suit Russian interests.
Alexander even agreed with them but told them that the destabilization of much of the Austrian Empire would only Benefit Russia in the Long term, especially if he was still winning.
But his nobles shut him down, and Tsar Alexander was given a quick reminder that just because he ruled with an iron fist, he was still very much in need of his nobles now.
Despite his victories, he had to back off from supporting more rebels across Austria, or risk dying like his father had.
Reward: Despite his victories, Alexander's ambitions of expanding Russian influence, will have to wait, while he deals with the great… annoyances that are within his Empire.
Nobles that hold too much power, and wish to profit from his successes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ottoman Empire: 1
The empire has shattered into civil war.
Egypt has been invaded by Muhammad Parsha, and his Albanian supporters, trying to take over Egypt and its inner lands, while Greece Rebels, every major city and township has seen a greek militia take out the Garrisons.
Millions of pounds of silver were seized in the great cities.
And The Jewel of the Empire, Istanbul, or now Constantinople by its new occupiers, the Russian Empire, was no longer under Turkish control. Their empires' control of europe, was effectively ended.
And now, the Sultan, is fighting for his life, with whatever supporters he has, against his brother, who rose with Arabic Rebels, in Jihad against the Russians.
Reward:
The Ottomans have entered what is likely its death nill. A civil war between brothers, Egypt is falling to Parsha and his compatriots.
Greece is now, nominally Free of Ottoman Influence.
An Empire is on the precipice of Death.
Can it be saved?
