Buenos dias senorita LeBlanc,

My name is Chino Ernesto Chavez, and I was assigned to handle the diplomatic communications after the Council in the person of Elder Hector Beltran approached you. Regrettably, Elder Hector Beltran is unable to answer your communication at the moment, but he has given me the authorisation to answer. Therefore it is a pleasure for the Consejo de Asuntos Exteriores to hear from the Gallic Royal Navy in such a timely manner to plan the next steps.

I would like to propose a roadmap for the process of establishing of formal diplomatic relations. Knowing that Gallic space and Corsair claims only overlap inside Bretonia, and taking into account flight times and security concerns, we would suggest a meeting between Corsair and Gallic Royal Navy forces in Omega 49, and from there on our forces can escort your delegation to Omicron Gamma, Crete.

Furthermore, we can offer the deployment of Corsair forward patrols into Dublin and Edinburgh to make sure that the diplomatic group is not challenged by the Bretonian Armed Forces on their way through contested space.

The ships should be equipped for a long distance journey because it is still a long way across many Omicrons before your delegation will arrive on Crete. The provision of additional fuel is difficult in the Omicrons, therefore I would advise planning accordingly.

As a proposal, the Nacion's delegation consists of four diplomats of the Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, and four representatives of the Consejo de Comercio, as the Council of Elders has recognized that with every new alliance new opportunities emerge. Therefore, I would like to ask for your delegation to encompass the sector of trade and economy, so that both topics can be discussed in the meeting.

Me complace la idea de trabajar juntos, me, the Consejo and the Council of Elders are looking forward to our cooperation.

Respetuosamente,

Gracias for your fast answer that makes all further planning task appear like routine. On behalf of the Council I suggest a speedy meeting, and the earliest date that is realistic could be as early as this Saturday. If such short notice does not cause problems, the Empire would have a fighter wing ready in Omega 49 in the direct vicinity of the Dublin jumphole.

After a recent surge of hostility between our Empire and the desperate Red Hessian and Coalition movement in the Omegas that the flight will have to cross, I am also to stress again the necessity of armor, especially for transport vessels.

We are looking forward to meeting the Gallic Royal Navy representatives.

Respetuosamente,
