Dear Germans and friends of Germany,
With all (but one) German region now in the Hands of the Italian, French and Hungarian forces, we started the negotiations regarding their return yesterday!



There is some good news and some bad news.

The bad news first:
We are currently not on the same page with the Italian demands and are having some major disagreements - I will not disclose details, but we are working hard to achieve a solution both nations can accept and the negotiations will probably take a little longer!

Now the good news:
Germany will receive all French and Hungarian occupied regions within the next week or two with the exception of Hesse and Mecklenburg.

France wants a border with Sweden and the easiest way to do so is to give them Mecklenburg for now. Mecklenburg will be leased to France for a symbolic 1 DEM. The region is not lost though and there is a way we can have it back if/when we want it.

Hungary does not put claim to any German region but has offered to stay in Hesse for a while as protection. The region, in the heart of Germany, would enable them to instantly counter any possible attacks, acting as a military base! For now Hesse will also be leased to Hungary for a symbolic 1 DEM. They have however also agreed to give the region back to us when we want it.
The Hungarians had two requests that we gladly met:
1st: The wars with France and Hungary will remain open to give us the option of future territory swaps.
2n😛 No MPP with Indonesia until those wars are closed.



Hungary also offered to start auctions to cover the cost of the RWs!
I urge everyone to not randomly start RWs!!!

All interested in contributing to the costs of the RWs or wanting to participate in the auctions, please contact me!


The following is the order the French and Hungarian regions will be returned in:
Brandenburg (http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show/6742 Fight RED!)
Schleswig-Holstein,
Westphalia,
Mecklenburg,
Lower Saxony,
Rheinland,
Saxony

I will try to keep everyone updated, so you can expect to receive updates regularly!


Best wishes
President Gobba
