The Prussian ambassador in St. Petersburg approaches the Russian court seeking assistance in their war against France. It is hoped that Empress Catherine will remember her German roots and assist them in defeating the French expansionists.

Empress court's response was fairly muted. They remark to the Prussian envoys, they had just fought a war with Ottomans and Swedes. They aren't interested in fighting Prussia's war. While they are sending troops to Georgia to deal with Persian issue. However they do wish the Prussians good luck in their war.

The Russian Czar Alexander I grants all living members of the Knights of Malta a fief in the Russian Empire although a representative must travel to St Petersburg to select it. Lands will be assigned in the Baltic and Belorussia region.

Like all Russian knights and nobles, those who take up a fief must provide an officer cadet a year to the Russian Army and provide for their maintenance while they are in cadet status. First priority will be naval service however in light of the traditional Knights of Malta service.

Meanwhile talks are initiated offering closer Russian ties to the Papacy as part of the traditional role of the Grand Master of the Knights of Malta (which Alexander I was until his death) while talks begin regarding a potential loan.
