We stand with our allies in their decision to help bring an end to the barbarous Boxer rebels. They have been savage and cruel in their attacks and have murdered countless. Their bayonets have spilled the blood of Chinese and foreigners alike with unspeakable brutality. But their crimes, their atrocities, will not go unpunished. It is with great pride that I announce Austria-Hungary's involvement in this most righteous endeavor for peace and justice for all. In the interest of upholding peace and justice for all, and with the intent to end the atrocities which have ravaged the Chinese state and people, [b]Austria-Hungary hereby pledges to commit a force of 300 Marines and three cruisers to join the international force against the Boxers.[/b]
