I am the Maréchal Louis De Viliers, I will represent the Gallic Union here, and be your correspondent, and I shall take charge of this matter.

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Monsieur le Ministre. I am sure we will meet again in the future, but in a better setting and for better reasons, I hope and wish.

The [GRG], or the "Gallic Royal Guard", is a taskgroup of the Gallic Navy, operating autonomously(//Indies).

We have not received any information about their fleet movement, and this comes off as a surprise, since we are very acquainted with the law, and wishes to continue our cooperation efforts. Gallia has no reason to cause diplomatic incidents.

We will, of course, make sure that violations such as these, that could be considered a casus belli, and now that we are aware of this potentiality, will not happen, As for the [GRG] Commanding Officers, they may be subject to court martial.

Monsieur le Ministre, I hope to have answered your questions. About the fine, please indicate whether or not it still needs to be paid to the Crayter Republic.

First of all, I would like to remind you that , that we both have titles we have earned through blood and sweat. And so did you. So, for now, it is Monsieur Westbrook. It will change once you will acknowledge this obvious lack of respect.

Monsieur Westbrook. As we said, an investigation has been opened into this, and we have reason to believe it is simply a taskgroup that wished to keep its name, as part of the creation of the Gallic Navy. Not Royal by itself, but by its history. As far as we went, and I believe as far we will go, no Royalist in the terrorist sense has been detected. However, there will be repercussions after the investigation will be finalized. And, thank you for the provided evidence.

As the Grand Amiral said, I have the final word, and my final word is, misunderstandings. This whole situation was a misunderstanding. The introduction of four capital-class ships into a territory recognized as Crayter space was indeed a violation of what you cited. This is a fact. However, the Bretonian taking side, and the Crayterian units agreeing with that also violates the Open Rivers Agreement, so, I would propose two things to calm things down. It is in nobody's interests to make these matters worse. This is my "final word" as Grand Admiral Delacroix said.

I would propose to further engage in cooperation, and détente, with the Crayterian Republic as a proponent for this. This would allow the Gallic Union to further integrate into Sirian affairs, this time, with no weapons or malevolent intentions, but with benevolent ones, and beneficial to all parties. We, do not want this sort of "cold war" we currently are in, to worsen, but in fact, to reverse this tendency, and allow trade as the step toward a solid and even friendly relations between our nations.

Secondly, I would offer the Crayterian Republic to send a delegation to witness the impending court-martial of the four Commanding Officers of these ships, as a proof of our willingness to continue to cooperate, to be in good terms and to show the justice in action, for this is a crime made by individuals, and not by our nation.

I hope this is adequate to what you would expect, Minister Westbrook. I reiterate, this was not under any Maréchals' orders, nor any attempted invasion, especially of Tau-44, which, is recognized, lawfully, as per the Open Rivers Agreement, as Crayterian Space.
