I bid welcome to all that attend. Our main point that we are to discuss in this assembly is the offensive of the British and their blockade, and what we are to do to counter both them and the Austrian invasions of Italy. The current situation in Italy is escalating rapidly, and I believe that if we take action to counter the Austrians and the British, then we will mitigate the situation, bringing back one power that we have. This Assembly is to bring all these plans for our counteroffensive into fruition, and hopefully end this major conflict once and for all.
