TNGF
SELECTED
Gustav Stresemann
primary
A middle-aged German statesman with a stout build, thinning hair neatly combed back, and a well-groomed mustache. His sharp, intelligent eyes reflect both weariness and determination.
Aristide Briand
primary
A distinguished French statesman in his early 60s, with a full head of silver hair and a neatly trimmed mustache. His sharp, intelligent eyes convey both weariness and determination.
Austen Chamberlain
secondary
A distinguished British statesman in his early 60s, with a neatly trimmed mustache and receding hairline. He carries himself with the upright posture of a seasoned diplomat, his sharp eyes observing the proceedings with careful attention.
Swiss Diplomat
background
A composed and impeccably dressed Swiss official, with a neatly trimmed mustache and a posture of quiet authority. His presence is unobtrusive yet essential to the proceedings.

Dialog

Gustav Stresemann Herr Briand, the Rhine must no longer be a frontier of mistrust, but a bridge of reconciliation. Germany is committed to this path.
Aristide Briand A bridge, Herr Stresemann... but one with strong foundations. France remembers the last time German troops crossed it uninvited.
Austen Chamberlain Gentlemen, if we dwell only on the past, we shall miss our chance to secure the future. This treaty is that chance.
Gustav Stresemann Britain's role as guarantor gives us all confidence. But tell me, Chamberlain - will your Parliament ratify this guarantee as readily as you offer it?
Aristide Briand The ink will dry faster than old suspicions, I fear. But it's a start. The first thaw after a long winter.
Gustav Stresemann Then let us sign before winter returns.
Austen Chamberlain To Locarno - may this day be remembered not for the war we're ending, but the peace we're beginning.
