Your people and government are a people of dignity and honor. The United Kingdom would be honored to assist the Great Qing in their journey for the betterment of their Empire and Peoples. We will begin diplomatic negotiations with your nation shortly. Now my words must turn from the joy in the world to the sadness. Mr. Lincoln and the United States of America have rebuffed all attempts at peaceful negotiation in order that they might pursue a war of fratricide. The United Kingdom stands firmly against the actions of the Union. Our own actions will be as such. As has already been ordered, our ships are en route to the defense of the shores of the Confederacy. However, considering the hatred of their government towards their own brethren, we will set up our own blockade preventing trade into the United States. To be clear, the waters of the Union are now off limits to every nation except France, the Confederacy, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. It is our hope that this war will end quickly so that trade may resume. We stand with the French Nation in our support of the Confederacy. We plan for a quick war that will lead to a return to normal life. To the nations of the world who support the Union; know that your support will only prolong a war that has already been determined. We ask that the nations of the world rescind their support so that peace may be achieved quickly and that lives may be saved. Once more, the United Kingdom commends the nation of Brazil for their humanitarian actions and desire to provide a good life for all peoples as opposed to just their own. We recognize the nation of Brazil as a safe haven for all refugees and as a fortress of peace. Brazilian ships are welcomed as ships of peace in the blockade and they are welcome to take refugees from either side of the war. The United Kingdom makes this statement: Any attack against Brazil so long as they maintain their neutral status during this war between the Union and Confederacy will be treated as a War Crime by the United Kingdom. The Nation of Brazil is a home for the broken and weary. The United Kingdom will be glad to offer transport ships for any citizens of the Union who wish to leave their current war-torn nation and make for Brazil. To the Confederacy; we are on our way. To the Union; we are on our way. God speed.
