Wahrhaft weise Worte, wertester Herr. Ich erlaube mir hiermit, Ihnen zu Ihrem Scharfsinn und Witz zu gratulieren und freue mich auf das nächste erquickende Tomnob.
Considering your Country decided not to join my Great Board of Peace, the greatest Global institition for Peace ever, I no longer feel any obligation to hand over your gold reserves, which by the way would look much better in my Ballroom anyway, which will be the most prestigious and BIGGEST Ballroom there ever was in History.
Germany cannot protect that Gold from Russia or China and there are no written documents, it's only that some guy with a funny accent delivered some gold a while ago and we kept it so why do you have a "right of ownership" anyway?
I have done more for Gold than any other person since it was invented, like thousands of years ago, and now, GOLD should do something for me.
