The Asadero Revolutionary - Turn Four

 ENEMY AT THE GATES!

The Crimsonian Army under the leadership of the despised Governor, Marshal Musculus, has marched from the coast through the wet jungle to the outskirts of Asadero. Brigadier General H. Charbonnier leads the Regular Infantry. 

Scouts have reported the strength of the Crimsonians at about thirty-nine companies, or some two thousand mice under arms. Other sources indicate that the enemy have over fifty companies, with some going as high as sixty.

Under pressure, the People's Assembly has elected the remarkably popular and wealthy Wenslius Maximouse, a firebrand orator and defender of the Revolution. President Maximouse was elected on a policy of Maximum War, promising recruitment and attack! All revolutionary mice rejoice at his powerful words!

Despite this, the People's Assembly have voted down the President's call for offensive operations, with the Commander of the Army, Bobr Morski, indicating that defence was the better option. The former Commander, Trotzkostromkoy, called any attack "foolishness." "The Mauxican Army is in no position to attack the Crimsonians at this time."

With the defeat of the military operations and recruitment bill, Commander Morski has spent the season fortifying the approaches to Asadero, building barricades and entrenchments.

FISCAL CONSERVATIVES IN CONTROL

Despite the President's call for offensive actions and massive recruitment, the budget that was eventually passed through the Assembly had no funds for new troops, and instead paid off the outstanding War Bonds. The President was reportedly astounded, saying "For what it's worth - let the record show that I am more concerned about us being militarily defeated than financially bankrupt. I am astonished that I seem to be the only one to feel this way."

In response, former President Tuttle retorted: "Do not think it escapes notice of this body that you enrich yourself with every infantrymouse we deploy."

It is an open secret in Asadero that President Maximouse's family has a sizeable interest in the production of military accoutrement, including uniforms.
