The Russians can no longer be allowed to oppose the destiny of France, and we intend to teach them a lesson.  Our goal is the conquest of the Ukraine, the great bread-basket of the Tsar's empire.  Napoleon V will not repeat the error of his ancestor and seize Moscow only to starve there; we will take the grainfields, then sit back and see who starves this winter!
The first stage of our attack will be to assist the Rumanians in recapturing Moldavia, the province they lost to the Russians during the War of the Emperors.
