August 4460General Blanchard unveils Action Canrillaise International volunteersAt another hastily-convened press conference in war-weary Nouville, General Blanchard has showcased his 93
Action Canrillaise International volunteers, all overseas Canrillaise - mainly from Alduria, Kanjor, Lourenne, Mordusia and Rildanor - who have come to Noumonde to help defend the regime from invasion by the Federation and Valruzia. General Blanchard heaped praise on the recruits, describing how "these brave young men have come to help good King Norbert defend his realm from international cowboys and war criminals".
Most of the recruits are in their late teens or early 20s, and are believed to have been radicalised over online social media. Five of the recruits, three from Lourenne and two from Alduria, are only 14 years old, and a further seven are only 16.
In a passionate speech, General Blanchard told "the Canrillaise world" that "we are of your flesh, of your blood and of your bone" and that "we are your brothers and your sisters, your fathers and your children". Further, he declared it was "insane and sacrilegious that Canrillaise are fighting Canrillaise in this senseless war". He denounced "the forces of Liberal Neo-Imperialism" for "having an agenda to obliterate Canrillaise culture, Canrillaise values and Canrillaise prestige".
General Blanchard also offered journalist his latest peace plan: a 32 page document entitled
Next Steps to Peace, proposing to create a "Malgy Homeland" in the middle of Valruzia, called "Valgyland", which the Malgy in Noumonde would be encouraged to emigrate to.
