RP Tale. As France continues to rebuild itself, King Pierre made an extraordinary choice to join the Gibraltar Solstice, an alliance between the Italian Order, Grand Monarchy of France, and Iberian Vega. This effectively united the entirety of Iberia (save Germany) under one alliance, making trading prosper once more. Hoepfully, this will once again allow for trade to bloom between the three nations, as morale is still low in GMOF, due to France not really being rebuilt immediately. There are still countless of insurgency cells and anarchy groups around GMOF King Pierre has vowed to destroy, but all hope still seems lost... In other news, the ports opened for trade with the Gibraltar Solstice...
Song: Debout les gars English translation: 1. We are lads from Brittany, Faithful to the King, (To the King!) Our ancestors went to war To avenge the King. (The King!) And the Armorican land Is still red; dondaine. (1) Ah, ah, ah! Arise lads, long live the King! (Ah, ah, ah, arise lads, long live the King!) 2. Our fishermen left their rocks, To avenge the King (The King!) Our farmers [left] their coming harvests, To avenge the King. (The King!) Our "Gentlemen" [left] the bonny fields, Shouting on the way; dondaine. Ah, ah, ah! Arise lads, long live the King! (Ah, ah, ah, arise lads, long live the King!) 3. Our lads had for chiefs To avenge the King (The King!) Bonchamp, Stofflet or Charette, These Avengers of the King. (Of the King!) Granite brows, hearts of oak, Fell shouting [against the enemy]; dondaine. “Ah, ah, ah! Arise lads, long live the King!” (Ah, ah, ah, arise lads, long live the King!) 4. Our lads have no swords, To avenge the King (The King!) But had scythes drenched in blood, To avenge the King, (The King!) Killing the Blues by the hundreds, Like black wheat; dondaine. Ah, ah, ah! Arise lads, long live the King! (Ah, ah, ah, arise lads, long live the King!) 5. It was a tough war, The war of the King. (Of the King!) Some of our lads did not come back, They are dead for the King. (The King!) But from Vendée to Maine, We always love them; dondaine. Ah, ah, ah! Arise lads, long live the King! (Ah, ah, ah, arise lads, long live the King!) 6. If the French nation, Reclaims her King (Her King!), Just like in 1793, Let us fight for the King (The King!). If necessary, with a serene soul, Let us march to death; dondaine. Ah, ah, ah! Arise lads, long live the King! (Ah, ah, ah, arise lads, long live the King!)
