Hail, worthy Admiralty of the Rheinland Militär.
I'm coming to you with a special request this time, as usual, you might say.
It' some time gone, since we last time had business together, but this one is urgent now, and I can't unfortunately try to make it short. I have a carbon copy of our last valid contract attached for you, regarding the permission for Bretonian Merchant Navy Convoys to pass Rheinland space with military escort vessels.
Carbon Copy
The times have changed for Bretonia, as you may have heard, the war against Kusari is intensifying, the supplies are harder to get, and the status quo is harder to maintain. Out of this reason, the civilian transport group, which was flying for Bowex before, has been set under Armed Forces command, and all transport vessels have been equipped with valid Armed Forces registry papers.
I'm now requesting, due to the hard times we have, and the fact, that Bretonia needs every supply source that can be reached, to extend the last valid contract on the whole Merchant Navy now, including Armed Forces transport vessels. I hope, we can come to an agreement, which don't limit us in numbers of transports being allowed to enter Rheinland, the numbers of escorts permitted had already been fixed. The role of the Merchant Navy didn't change at all, and we will, of course and as always, obey the laws of Rheinland, by not carrying our own war into Rheinlands borders.
However, we'd like the get clearance for the routes already cleared in the former contract:
Quote:Omega 7 - Stuttgart - New Berlin - Frankfurt, Holstein... and back.
Omega 7 - Stuttgart - New Berlin - Frankfurt - Sigma 13 (To Naha) ... and back.
Omega 7 - Stuttgart - New Berlin - Frankfurt - New Berlin - Dresden (To Bautzen station) ... and back.
Omega 7 - Stuttgart - New Berlin, Oder Shipyard, Planet New Berlin, The Ring, and back.
In addition, and as a result of the various threats by pirates, and the importance of large ore carrying convoys for her majesties economy, we would request our maximum number of granted escorts to:
2 Bretonian Gunboats
4 Snubcraft of various types
The cargo being brought into Rheinland's borders will be:
- Refugees
- Gold
- various ores
I hope to hear from your side soon, and that we may come to an new agreement, so I remain
with all respect, and hail to her glorious majesty
Fl.Adm. Jack Schwarz, MBE
