To: Foreign Minister of Mexico
From: A. de Mendoza, Viceroy of the Spanish West Indies
Greetings,
I am writing to you to request a temporary removal of the sugar export tariff and a temporary increase in sugar exports to Cuba. Although we have traditionally been able to meet demands for sugar in Europe, a vicious insurgency in Puerto Rico has temporarily damaged our ability to fulfill these demands. I humbly request that you allow for an increase in sugar exports to allow us to prevent any damage to the local economy and ensure that we prevent this uprising from spreading to Hispaniola or the mainland.
Respectfully,
A. de Mendoza
Viceroy of the Spanish West Indies
Another 5,000 troops have been deployed to P.R. from Cuba.
Spain has requested aid from Mexico in filling the supply gap caused by the insurgency.
Local Spanish officials have welcomed asylum claimants fleeing the collapse of the Hashemite Sultanate and arranged for their settlement in various towns in Spain.
Construction has begun on various fortifications throughout the S.W.I. Completion estimated to be September/October 1886.

I shall make this short and quick, I have shown the Russian letter to the emperor, and with my full agreement he instructed me to write back.
We will never enter into an alliance with you, we will never agree to this border with you, you have wronged us to many times in the past.
You have Stolen our land, killed out people, and commited many more atrocities of the kind.
We are currently in the process of having Northern Manchuria returned to us in peace using the Conference of Versailles, but you could hurry the process. Leave the provinces that you know to be rightfully ours and their will be no need for conflict.
Take those iron tubs you call battleships with you, they would be no use to use anyways.

TO: To Whomever it may concerns on China
FROM: Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg
Your Highness/Majesty/Exellence/etc.
It is grave news indeed that you have chosen this path with us. Russia did not, ever, want a conflict with its neighbors. We are and empire of peace and freedom, and the Chinese never seems to understand the meaning of that. The Buryat and Manchu people, within our borders, has enjoyed prosperity and peace that thousands of years under Chinese dynasties they never had. You claim these lands to be yours, yet the Qing agreed, and in mutual and equal terms gavee it to us, the reason why is what we never know. Yet the new government of China decides to violate the agreement by asking these lands, rightfully Russian lands to "get back"? Under Russian rule, the Manchu and Buryat people have retained it's traditions and laws, and even sent a representative to the Imperial Parliameent, and by this way they not only have say in their oblast's government but also in the Russian government as a whole and its colonies. And never, forever, has we ever attempted to murder and do genocide or any other horrible atrocities on the Far East people. The Far East people are by law Russians, and we shall do whatever it takes to preserve our sovereignty!
We have sighted Chinese ships, military battleships on Korea. Remember that we have large amount of fleet stationed in the Primorsky Krai, and we are continuing to observe the actions of your fleet. Under no circumstances shuld this fleet or any of it's crew landed or attempting to land at Russian coasts, or trying to provoke Russian agression by firing shots on Russian territory. Any actions regarding this are considered a violation of the traty and an act of war against Russia. But, if they came in peace, they are allowed to dock in vladivostok albeit heavily guarded ny Russian Army and Navy. We have increased our military presence. While not considered an insult this rejection of alliance is something we cannot tolerate, and we promise that Russia will never again responds to any pleads from China in the future, be it economic aid or military or whatever it may concerns. There is one message for your Emperor: back your armies and naval fleets, we will do the same. And cease this border squabbling over years old treaty that is rightfully signed by China and Russia, if you did not want conflict. Russia is peaceful and diplomatic, and we will never do an act of agression against our neighbors. Thank you for considering this.
Regards,
Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov, Regent of Russia

Japan is aware of the growing conflict between the Russian Empire and China. As you know, Japan is currently in the process of modernizing, so a war with China now would be best avoided. We hope you too, can see that a minor territory dispute should not escalate to a major war. We are hoping you can come here to Tokyo for a state meeting to address the concerns of your empire and the Chinese, where we can hopefully come to an agreement. Do note the Spanish, and possibly the Chinese, are attending.

As an ally of Russia, we concerned about your growing tensions with China. As an ally we will support you to our best extent. Currently we will not be able to help you with military for we have our men in the Arabia and Mesopotamia and our Shehzade does not want to implement large scale conscription for we have already done a small scale conscription for our current campaign. But we will allow your General Pyotr Bagration with his men numbering 100,000 to pass through our borders in order to focus on the Chinese threat in Central Asia for we have grown to trust and befriend him.
Your Ally,

As you have may have noticed, tensions in Asia between the Heavenly Empire of China and the Russian Empire are heating up.
This is do to the Russian Empire holding onto land that they illegally stole from China when we were busy in the 2nd Opium war.
While we do not ask for direct military aid from you, we would be extremely pleased with Spain should it ban Russian trade and harass their trade where you see fit.
Maybe a Naval sortie against Persia would be in the question as well.
Of course this would come with a price, we would be willing to sit down with Spain after hostilities cease to hash out your reward.

To: Whom It May Concern, Ethiopia
From: J. Cruz, Foreign Minister of Spain
Greetings,
I hope this telegram finds you in good health. On behalf of Alberto XIII, King of Spain, I am extending a request to establish a joint Spain-Ethiopia coffee trading company. This company would allow for the centralization of our respective coffee supply chains and the use of both Spanish and Ethiopian corporate infrastructure to secure lower prices and higher profits for our national governments.
Respectfully,
Juan Cruz,
Foreign Minister of Spain
To the Czar of Russia, greetings.
I, Araya, in the stead of my father the Emperor, am writing to you to in response to your proposals on military, economic and religious ties.
Seeing as Ethiopian traders have had a long-standing commercial relationship with Zanzibar and its surrounding cities, we are pleased to open up our ports to Russian commerce from Zanzibar, and from you country as well. As for your proposal regarding a military alliance, we are eager to accept, but must advise you of the state of our forces. Our country has no navy whatsoever, and our army has suffers from a lack of formal structure, modern weapons and training. To this end, we would ask that you send military advisors and weapons.
Regarding investment, there are several places that may be of interest to you. The port of Massawa, in northern Ethiopia, has an excellent harbor, and would be a good site to build a shipyard. Regarding factories, Massawa and Asseb, another port in the north, would be natural places to establish saltworks. The kingdom of Gojjam, which already has active gold mines, also has some deposits of iron ore. If mines and a railway could be constructed, the town of Bichena could be a place to establish a small ironworks. The town of Adama, in Oromia, could be the site of a textile mill, because the surrounding region has the potential for growing cotton. Beyond that, our country currently lacks the natural resources for other heavy industry. With your investment, however, more resources, and thus more industry, could be developed.
Your offer of creating a East Africa Trading company is welcomed, although we hesitate to risk cutting into the business of our ally and neighbor, the Sultanate of Somalia. Their merchants have plied their wares across the Indian Ocean for centuries, as part of the trade in that region. The trading company Kaptallah, which has been re-established, is now doing brisk business with the Seljuk Empire, India, and Arabia. Our request, then, if it is possible, is that our Somali friends be allowed to join this proposed venture.
As for the sending of men and vessels from Russia, this is welcome though we wish to decrease such an expense on your part as much as possible. The Somalis have much experience in building traditional wooden vessels, which they use in the transport of goods to Arabia. They, too, can provide skilled sailors under arms, and with your investment in some modern shipyards can also build the required vessels.
This business of coffee does give us pause. As far as we know, we do not know of coffee being grown in your country. We would require a partner with a suitable climate and experience in its production, and it is the same with palm oil and sugar cane. We hope this does not discourage you though, from investing in fisheries, woodworks, gems, and other resources.
The Church would welcome any clergymen from your country who wish to know more about the Orthodox faith in Ethiopia. Send such men to Gondar, and they will be glad to have them.
May God keep you and your country in His care. It is good to know that another Christian nation, and an Orthodox one at that, has established itself in the region.
Araya Selassie Yohannes, King of Tigray, Wollo, Begemder and Dembiya, in the name of His Imperial Majesty Yohannes IV, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Zion, King of Kings of Ethiopia and Elect of God
To the Spanish Foreign Minster, greetings.
I, Araya, in the stead of my father the Emperor, am writing to you to in response to your proposal on a coffee trading company. This proposal is most pleasing to us, though we must advise you that the country lacks infrastructure and processing capabilities. To alleviate this, it would be most fruitful to focus on the city of Harar and the surrounding region. There are already coffee farms in that region, and with the building of a railway from that city to the port of Tadjoura, exports to Europe are possible. The Governor of Harar has informed me of a foreigner, an English trader by the name of Arthur Rimbaud, who has made it his business to promote the sale of coffee abroad. When your agents arrive in the city, speak with him. I am sure he and your men together can establish many coffee plantations in that area, and turn it into a major center of coffee production. In particular, the Governor tells me that Rimbaud is trying to establish a plant for the processing of coffee beans. With your help, I am confident that this can become a reality.
We are grateful for your offer, and will do anything we can to hasten its coming to fruition.
Araya Selassie Yohannes, King of Tigray, Wollo, Begemder and Dembiya, in the name of His Imperial Majesty Yohannes IV, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Zion, King of Kings of Ethiopia and Elect of God

President Porfirio Diaz was now sitting in his office. He had just read reports about the development of Mexico, as well as the invasion on Guatemala. All of it were going well, which made President Diaz happy. It was a great thing, as it showed that Mexico was strengthening, as he wanted.
Recently, however, he decided that Mexico must start a friendship with other nations across the world. A week ago, he started to read about the potential nations that he wanted Mexico to start a relationship with, Grenada, The Scandinavian Union, Ethiopia, China, and the Seljuk Sultanate. After a lot of reading about the history of all those nations, he made a choice. He would start a relationship with all of them.
Now, he went to the office of the Foreign Minister of Mexico, Ignacio Mariscal. He ordered Mariscal to wrote a telegram to each of the nations that he wanted to start a relationship with, Grenada, the Scandinavian Union, Ethiopia, China, and the Seljuk Sultanate. The telegrams had the same offer as the deal to Spain and Japan, to trade with Mexico and invest in it, as well as establishing an embassy and consulate in Mexico. After Mariscal finished writing all of those telegrams, they were sent to it's respective receiver.
To the President of Mexico, greetings.
I, Araya, in the stead of my father the Emperor, am writing to you to in response to your proposal on investment in your country and diplomatic relations. While we are not rich enough to provide much investment in your country, we may have an opportunity for you that makes up for this. When the opportunity becomes available, we will tell you shortly.
As for diplomatic relations, we would be happy to establish ties. We will send an ambassador to Mexico City, and you may send an ambassador to Mekelle.
We would also be very pleased if you could send us samples of the tobacco plant, to see if it can grow in our own country.
