Buenas noches, General Aquila, Colonel Valdez.

I think you will find some time to have a little conversation. I'm perfectly aware, that you both are likely busy, but this is something that is worth your time and attention. I know your position regarding the old aristocracy, which also includes myself. Unlike the others, my dynasty did not buy plantations and workers and defended Malta in the same way as you do. I think you both saw me in action and I guess there can be no doubt in my loyalty to Malta. Yes, I had some issues with the Crimson Cross, so I had to leave to the Core and... other organizations. However I returned and worked for Malta, fought for it and risked my life.

I've tried to consolidate Maltese families and we formed the National Council. However, my expectation were too high. Those people are still taking personal interest above all. And, I'm afraid, Malta don't have a future if they will stay in power. I've talked to them a lot, tried to explain, but they refuse to recognize any value, but Sirian credits and own ego. You know that as well, that's why you struggle for. Good thing is, the council is weaker than it wa before, guess why? Those sharks started to eat each other and they will eat Malta in the end.

I propose you to act. Let's say i'm share some of your political views and we can work together. If you want to remove those people from power, we can do that easily. It would be possible even without a big blood and huge losses, once they will realize that our strike is decisive. I have my people there, including the Council guard itself. Of crouse families are relying on the personal forces too, but they gonna be really disorganized once main Council body will be taken. If you really want to save Malta and bring it to the glory, this is your chance.

It's probably a bad idea to try to take over the plantations and other property, if we really want to avoid blood. Our task will be just to take over the political scene. I have only one simple condition, since you both are probably not that good in politics by yourselves and likely will be busy with your military duties. At this point I'm offering my services to build up new political structure and new order on Malta. I'm not aiming to make any important decisions without consulting with your movement. I also would like to see our ideologists being included into the new decision making centre.

That's all about it, nothing complicated, just a military coup. If you want to support me, we can start planning the operation shortly.

Buenos dias, Loyola.

I won't lie that I found this transmission a bit unexpected. Overthrowing the current dysfunctional ruling body was the Légion's original end goal though I never expected it to happen this soon. A bit ironic that you desire yet again to be in power same as you were with the National Council but I doubt you would offer such a grand scheme if you got nothing out of it yourself, correct? Either way you've been good to the Légion so far and that puts you way above the current official rulers of Malta. I am personally ready to support this coup as long as Teniente General Aquila agrees to it as well. My only wish is that we keep the bloodshed to the minimum needed, Malta does not need another open civil war, more dead Maltese will bring no-one good.

Coronel Eliza Valdez,
Légion Maltesa

Ciao,

There are no honeyed words or actions that can hide the National Council's failure. The National Council has led the Maltese people into an aristocratic era of showing no spine, they would rather sleep with our adversaries for an easy means of escaping conflict rather than fight to uphold Malta's values and her title. As Colonel Valdez mentioned this plan has been set in stone for some time, you might want to avoid bloodshed perdere Loyola. But I speak with the utmost incontrovertibility when I say that the only way to permanently shift the Maltese people in order, is to kill the National Council members who refuse the rule of the Legion. Civil war might seem detrimental, but the National Council holds little to know grasp over the people's popular opinion, and even less of that on the military efforts the Legion has been seeing through with success.

We don't need to do this discreetly whatsoever, we have the forces, we are far more organized and far more motivated. We WILL assume total temporary command over the entirety of the Maltese Navy, as well as Malta's citizens until your "idea" can be deemed legitimate enough to be seen as the new Maltese government. Failure will have the Legion organizing a new means of governing Malta and her people.

I don't hold anything against you miss Loyola, but I won't stand and watch Malta fall into ruin over yet another failed "idea".

En servicio de Malta,
Teniente General, Ezio Aquila.

General Aquila, Colonel Valdez,

Your replies are letting me hope and count on you. I'm pretty sure that I'm keeping a high level of security, but some of them might learn the information about it. Generally, I would like to arrest most of the deputies at the next Council session at the next Firday. I will need best of your people to commit the operation сlearly and professionally.

We shall keep each other informed in time, as you understand we don't have a right for mistake.

As expected, plutocratic institution ended up collapsed after the first minutes of a real pressure. I want to congratulate you and your people, we hopefully opening a new page of the Maltese history. Organizations like yours can now have fully idependent official status in perspective, as soon as we are done with a lot of other formalities. I will also make sure to provide you with new equipment and weaponry, knowning deplorable state of some of your units.
