Yesterday at 5 PM, President S.Petroni spoke to the Vespacian people. He said the following: “The Soviet Federation has embarked on a path of regrettable, and inexcusable evil, towards our nation. They have stationed hypersonic weapons and a considerable security contingent, in Alvernia, to exercise leverage against us. In spite of this evil, we endure; and we show them a way out. To the Soviet Federation: remove your weapons from Alvernia within 9 days, by July 20, and this will be a thing of the past. I speak for both Vespacians and Soviets when I say: I hope you can meet that deadline. In the meantime, naval forces will be dispatched to prevent the entrance of further nuclear weapons.”
The naval forces in question belonging to the 2nd and 4th fleets
