Members, allies, friends...
We are throwing everything we have into the Jerusalem offensive, and will be a battered state thereafter.
I think now is the time to discuss my proposal for helping the East put down the Ghorid offensive permanently.
Basically, the Seljuks, Ghaznavids, Omans if willing, will all assemble their mighty armies slightly out of range of the Ghorids at maximum strength... then I have a plan to include the Turks in your endeavors.
Basically, I need one castle, or two... whatever you can spare, and also the financial backing of the coalition itself. Whatever any members can spare.
First of all, committing to the destruction of Jerusalem will likely wipe out my family in the west, and I will need to donate those lands to Georgia/Armenia. But we will emerge as victors against Jerusalem and the Georgians/Armenians can have the lands and support of Kaikosru against any further aggressors.
So we need a new homeland, temporarily. I don't wish to impose, but I have offered two other nations my own territories, so I am asking for volunteers.
If you have castles you can LEND me, I will use them to raise an army in the east against the Ghorids, and when the time comes, I will transfer my capital there to spawn a new family member.
Then, with coalition support, and the released burden of my 4 stacks of doom in the west being annihilated, I will raise an army of Turkish forces against the Ghorids, and help in the assault on the Ghorid Sultanate, wiping that grin off of his face forever.
If everyone who has the means can contribute 500/turn or more, in a few short turns I should be able to mass my forces and assist.
I don't intend to stay in the east. This mission is a kamikaze mission for the good of the Coalition. When the Ghorids are slain, please assist me in moving back to Turkish territory. I am sure the Georgians and the Armenians will be willing to grant me my lands back for all I've done for the Coalition.
I greatly wish this plan to go into effect and that it remain a secret. But if it is too much of an imposition...
Specifically what I require:
Temporary transfer of castles which don't have any value at all, but are close to one another. (Insta-garrison from the transfer of lands itself will be a good start)
Permission to borrow one castle which has actual recruitment facilities such as stables or better.
contributions, however small, however generous, to the Turkish cause to raise a holy army of Jihad against the traitorous infidel Ghorids.
With several member states offering roughly 500 or more florins per turn and worthless castle territories, I can raise a very effective fighting force. You stand to lose only minor income temporarily, and you stand to gain huge forces.
IC, we can explain that a Turkish family member has travelled far to the east and secured the loyalty of the local allies, and has hired mercenaries and has been loaned castles for the raising of an army.
Please make your thoughts known if you feel this is a viable plan. I greatly wish to personally cut the throat of the Ghorid scum.
The Turks will die, both in battle against the armies of Baldwin and the Ghorids. But we will die with honour and in the name of the Holy Coalition. The Supreme Commander of the Coalition feels that, if re-elected, and his plan goes into effect with the approval of the majority of the member states, he will be most willing to give his own life for the cause of destroying or pacifying all three declared enemies of the Coalition.
With such a legacy, I can then retire to civilian life a happy man, and enjoy my reward in the glorious afterlife.
Allahu Ackbar!
