Our beloved Rheinland is in a state of war condition for the last hundred years. And yet again, after all our young blood and sweat wasted for nothing, the Kanzler again called a new generation of boys; and girls, to arms. But, for what cause will they die? Which Rheinland will they be protecting ?

Our country is a state, with a long history of civil war. On one side, we have big companies, industrial giants, and biggest burocracy system known to mankind, all serving, just one man, the Kanzler.

And on the other side, we have unwanted, expelled, hunted citizens, which raise their concern regarding the way that Rheinland is going. Those men dont support the endless wars in which Rheinland blood is wasted. They raised their hands, asked a question, expressed an opinion. They shouldve known the reward for such activity. The Polizei are more busy with the common people, workers, like you, than with whole underground criminal movements. Their task is to keep people silent.

Rheinland has again failed as a state. The government which was supposed to be just an instrument in the hands of the People. But we love upside down situation, dont we? Such governments arent governments at all. More likely, they are slave companies, with a huge income.

Workers! You are true power of Rheinland. Your everyday works allow the Kanzler to send more of our children to death. Do not be tools in his hands; open your eyes! For he shall be the death of all that Rheinland was meant to be!

Has the Kanzler ever cared for your dedication? Look at your monthly salaries, look at the amount of work hours you have and tell me, does he ?!

I think not, ladies and gentlemen. It is time for you to ask your boss some questions. Questions should not be against the law. Ask them! As human beings you have such right.

Soldiers! You are performing a glorious duty of defending your home from a foreign invasion. Is that what they tell you?! Hudson and Bering, are those your homes? And yet, they are paid for with YOUR blood!

And not all of you are serving on so called Liberty front. There are quite a lot of Rheinland Military forces stationed inside Rheinland borders. Their task? To do the dirty work for the Kanzler. Killing fellow Rheinlanders. The good old Rheinland solution, shoot first never ask questions, wouldnt you agree ?

But, there is another way to deal with problems. You ask what that is ? It is simple my fellow Rheinlanders - Diplomacy. Ask your Kanzler, ask him! Has he ever tried a diplomatic way around the war ? To us it seems like he is just about to set a new record of how many wars you can start in the shortest possible period of time.

They call them pirates, but in fact, they are just like you, simple men and women. You have options. You have means. Do not push the button. Do you not have too much of Rheinlands blood on your hands already ?

Mothers! Why do you keep sending your children to war? To death! Where is your motherly love for them?! Hide them away, away from the Kanzlers hands and eyes. Do not let them take away what you love most on this world. You will never forgive yourself if you allow it. Hide them, protect them. That is your duty.

People, we do care. Some of your friends, family members, already decided to choose freedom over oppression. Why do you still waiting?

We need to act. You, me, we, need to act today, because tomorrow will be too late.

-------------------------------------------------------

Not the first time in my life I've heard this communist heap of trash.

I'll be honest with you. I only didn't particularly pay attention to what you were saying until us, soldiers came to being mentioned, so I'll only voice my concerns regarding that and what follows up.

You claim we are not fighting for our homes when the Libertonians annexed Bering and Hudson without a word? It's not those two rocky wastelands that we're fighting for. It's Hamburg that matters and the millions of citizens on the planet. Unless you have been living under a rock, you could have noticed that the Libertonian marauders entering our beloved Vaterland, while also keeping their battlefleet on the gates of Hamburg, from where only the glorious Rheinwehr has been keeping them from entering further in. As for my blood coming into the picture, I am willing to live and die for my home, unlike all those who betrayed it to fight and let themselves be driven by all sorts of foolish ideas and abstractions.

As for the Rheinland military forces being stationed inside Rheinland, they are there to protect the PEOPLE of Rheinland from all those who threw their heritage away for having to do some overtime. If there were no Hessians, Bundschuh and traitors of that sort, we could be concentrating our efforts on keeping the Libertonians away from our borders, but what do we get? Our ships being shot down by these terrorists, fighting for nothing but revenge and personal gains.

I have seen a space station being shelled by a battlefleet of Hessian cruisers, including the flagship of the Red Hessian Army, killing hundreds on board.

I have seen Hessians blowing apart a civilian transport full of passengers, shooting all the pods up individually, then admitting that it was done for money.

I have seen, just today, a Hessian who wanted to be referred to as a "pirate," rather than the revolutionary stuff they claim to be.

I have no idea who you are, nor do I care. But anyone assuming these traitors work for the good of Rheinland have never seen the terror they bring forward, that they only work to bring destruction and disruption of the Rheinland economy. THEY push the button first. Noone asked them to leave their lives behind and start killing people, those who are still loyal, in order to pursue a foolish, incompletable line of ideas.

Instead of forwarding this false propaganda, grab weapons and fight the Libertonians. They are the ones that seek to lay waste to our homeland, they want to push free Rheinland into slavery. They started the war and we will have to end it, but to do so, we need every helping hand we can get, every disruptive element to be neutralised.

Ahh yes, here we go with the insufferable Military trying to "squash" the pockets of resistance to their enforcement of neofascist rule by yelling at them through a comm channel. If you're so concerned about your people, then why do our revolutionary forces have to deal with the Corsair pirates that attack the miners in Omega-7 at all times? If you're so concerned about welfare, then why do you allow those Daumann war profiteers to exploit you, your nation and your fellow compatriots in the name of profit, regardless of how many lives it claims within systems like Omega-11? If you're so concerned about righteousness, then why do you keep a keen gun on all the civilian stations in Dresden, sure enough not to let a single worker deviate from his usual routine, or face the punishment of execution for "suspected terrorism"?

You might stutter to provide an answer to these questions, but alas they are all rhetorical. For we already know that you are afraid of your own people, and that you know full well that this government that you defend is wrong. That it was wrong to expel the Bundschuhpartei from das Reichstag, and that it is still wrong to enforce the dogmatic and cruel rule of the Nationalpartei, who control the polls by means of propaganda and silencing of political opposition.

You are afraid of your own people because they already know in their hearts that you are wrong, and that das Volkrevolution will reclaim the nation from the likes of corporate fascism soon enough. Only then will Rheinland be returned to its former glory, rather than being a laughing stock in the eyes of Sirius like it is right now.

Give up, Military. Your fight against your fellow Rheinlander is unjust and pointless. Direct your forces to the Libertonian front instead, and crush their invasion. Let the Revolution replace the government in the mean time, and you will be rewarded with a house strong and steadfast, one that will lead Sirius into a brighter tomorrow. A better tomorrow for everyone, and not just the elites.

Let Rheinland unite!

Never expected to get a reply. Interesting.

Ignoring your questions due to them being rethorical would be a surrender. Thus, even if I do not reply them directly, I will address the nature of the things that you actually wanted to point out. It is a common, well-known fact that the Red Hessians don't go to the Omegas to protect the miners, traders and Rheinland citizens passing through the area, but with the direct intent to easen the business competition that the Corsairs mean. Them lurking in the nebulas, where not even a miner wanders poses no harm to Rheinland integrity, whereas when they are to strike on civilians, our forces are indeed there to offer protection. On the other hand, why should we interfere if you scum keep killing each other? You are no longer Rheinland citizens at all.

The Daumann mining operations provide the Rheinland economy with the steady income of profit, which is used to increase the living conditions of the average Rheinland citizen, better chances of employment, better payment and such. As all means of labour, mining is not entirely lacking of dangers, but how is the "revolution" supposed to change that? You can't make mines nice and tidy, without them posing any danger to those operating in it. You can't remove the radiation the Omega-11 sun produces. Yes, you will obviously say that "blarg, fascists this and that, we would close the operations down", but then what would keep the economy running? What would guarantee the extension of employment keep up with the growth of the populace if business decreases? What would you base the economy on? These are not rethorical questions.

Keeping the guns on civilians? I think you went a bit radical with describing internal security. Afterall, what sense would letting otherwise uneducated people let themselves be fooled by the propaganda the Hessians forward? On the other hand, I indeed have been ordered to raise my weapons in their protection, when their former comrades in labour tried to take their lives, in order to pursue their personal vendetta against their former employers.

If people would want your revolution, there wouldn't be a mere hundred of you people attempting to swing mud at the Rheinland government. The billions do not want the 'revolution' you claim to bring, the billions stand on the true side of Rheinland, not willing to respond to your call, because they indeed live well under the Kanzler's rule. Those who rise are all driven by selfishness. "I didn't get my pay, so I blow my boss up and all who are satisfied with his rule." Why can't you accept that there will always be people in lower social circumstances? Why are you trying to demolish something that already works well and is tested under the hundreds of years to replace it with a structure that is not even sure to work?

The people do not need you. The fact that only I responded, simply to yell, as you said indicates that adequately. The Rheinwehr will keep bringing victory on the Libertonian front as well as getting rid of all who try to stab the operation in its back.

You had some questions in the previous transmission that I would like to answer at the moment. You also made a few comments. I would like to start with the Liberty war.

What kind of interest did the Rheinland people have in the two systems, Hudson and Bering, Herr? Unlike the Omega's which are rich with natural and helpful resources, Bering and Hudson lack anything worth mining or exploiting. Indeed, those systems are a sad collection of rocks. What did Rheinland lose with Libertys annexation of those systems? Some rare resources, a home planet? Not even a station. But, how did the Kanzler respond to that? Again with guns, that is his good old tradition. And now he gambles with the whole Rheinland nation and our people on a game table with an unsure hand. And for what ?! Two small collections of rocks?! Are those systems so important to him that they are worth our nations death?! Seems like, they are.

The game he played, and lost. Now, Liberty is on Rheinlands doorstep, threatening the Hamburg population with a full scale invasion. We see what happens in Leeds. Is that our future? Whom shall we thank for that?

Regarding your comment about the Hessians and Bundschuh being terrorists organizations.

Is defending your rights, your freedom now a terrorist act?! I would like to remind, not just you, but our people as well. It was the Polizei and Rhieland Military high command that decided to deal with unarmed workers in such a deadly way.

Human beings are not sheep that wait to be butchered. Trying to keep your head is not a terrorist act, Herr.

Personal gains? If by personal gain you understand normal lives, then you have every right to call us profiteers. We dont want anything more than equality, law and order. A new government system that will finally protect common people from the will of a few men.

Now, about your question about economy, and mining.
No, we cannot remove the radiation. Such danger to ships will be most likely always present in Omega 11.

What we can do, is to give the miners better health care, better salary for what they do. Their work keeps your ships flying, but their families are still hungry.

We can improve working conditions, decrease work hours, increase total of mining ships.

Kruger and Daumann, both ignore, and choose to do nothing in regard of the miners. If they had shown a bit more attention to the mining crews, to the workers, you and your men wouldnt have so many problems right now. Things became simple for them. Better die standing, then on knees.

Being in 'lower social circumstances' as you call it, does not mean that you should take advantage of their position to benefit yours.

The governments system is not working well mein Herr. I can compare our current situation with two train engines, trying to drive one wagon, in opposite directions. One party government system trying to silence every opposition, as long that is main policy of the Reichstag, Rheinland will not go anywhere. Left and right hand cannot feed the body unless they work together. You and your men are not our enemy, Herr. Our enemy is the corrupted and unjust system ran by the Kanzlers office.

PS To Kanzler. Building a bunker would be wise.

More of this Communist crap? I've heard this a hundred times from the Hessian fighters the Patrol wing has captured while in the Omegas. Our workers are fine; our miners are fine; our escort and patrol squadrons are fine; unless you have proof of what you say, refrain from blasphemy against Daumann Heavy Construction.

You seem to have entirely missed my point about Hudson and Bering. It's not the systems themselves that are relevant, as I pointed out already, "it's not those two rocky wastelands that we're fighting for". Liberty annexed these two systems with the direct intent to continue its operations of conquest against Rheinland, the fact that they started their operations on Atka without even notifying the Kanzler or the Bundestag and the deployment of battlefleets to our borders is clearly a hostile line of actions. All that following President Powell's announcement that he was not satisfied with the Rheinland compensation for the consequences of the Nomad war? Their intent is clearly conquest, the Kanzler's orders of mobilization was a perfect choice. What was Liberty's response? They attack the deployed defence force. It wasn't the Kanzler, the Bundestag or Rheinland that started the war.

Or should we let them take Hamburg over without resistence? Is that what the 'uttely patriotic revolutionaries' say? The Libertonians won't stop their assault until either of the capitals fall.

As for the terrorist part, 'freedom' is an abstract thing you keep referring to, the Rheinland government guarantees freedom to all its citizens. I fail to see how a lower salary, a few hours of overtime and God-forgive, being sacked means loosing your freedom or a status as a Rheinland citizen.

Also, how is killing people who have nothing to do with the whole thing and are just workers themselves has to do with anything? The Hessians in Dresden disrupt mining operations, hijack, pirate and destroy transports, to pursue their vendetta, all that to make a few corporate heads boil. Enough that might not be, just rewise the things I have mentioned seeing in my first response transmission. There's plenty of such things to go around, really. The so-called revolutionaries just destroy everything and fail to build anything that indeed helps the workers. The blood diamond trade is supposed to help the workers of Daumann and Kruger? By causing huge business competition and making the corporations choose to reduce the working force? Or blow up a mining station, making hundreds loose their place of employment? How is that helpful in any way?

There are reasons for the corporations to keep their salaries as it is. They have to replace the credits they loose due to the sabotage work the 'revolutionaries' cause, their only way to do that is to cut the wages of workers. If they can increase the profit, the salaries will be increased aswell. But as long as they are blocked from doing so? As long as there are unwanted assets blocking the way to progress?

All you throw around is 'we will do this and that', but you yourselves have no idea how you would carry anything through. You make promises that cannot be managed among the bounds of Rheinland, the mines will remain the same, the asteroid fields will be there, the workers will have to work.

You can't make a bread without using flour. You cannot get flour without having to harvest grain. All that would require a leadership system as well as workers, to remain efficient. What do you say on the contrary? Everyone will have the same amount of bread. But how would you acquire it? Sacrifices have to be made. You can't make billions of people equal, in any way. There will be always a social class that's not as high as the others.

Want to do something that helps? Disassemble the ship you're flying, which obviously costed millions of credits and sell the parts. Spend the money you get for it to feed the poor.

Herr Hanz. Few words regarding your message. I do believe that if you tag someone's idea as crap, that you automatically fail your argument. Argument is discussion, in which you must prove that my idea is a crap. Since, you failed to show me any proof, have a nice day Herr.

Mobilization of reserve and auxiliary force wasnt a peaceful solution. The situation, after the annexation of the systems could have still been repaired with diplomacy talks. The mobilization was a clear sign for Liberty that Rheinland didnt even wish to start talking, and they used force in response to the Kanzlers move. The Kanzler had a chance, a great chance to open talks with the Libertonians, but he chose not to. After he made his move, Liberty made theirs. For every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction, that is what happened. It is a fact that the Kanzler had the chance to save younglings on both sides. Why didnt he, I will leave that to his soul.

Hamburg, is a home for millions of 'our' people. Your families, my families and our friends. Losing it, would be yet just another great disaster in the past 100 years. Rheinland blood, of both colors will be spilled for it. Only difference is, we will know who is guilty for it. Unlike Rheinland, Liberty is a capitalistic democratic society, in which common people hold certain minimal rights. The election rights are the most feared weapon in the hand of all Liberty people. A government cannot work properly without general public support, unlike in Rheinland. And people, common people, are always against wars.

Liberty could never invade Rheinland without proper reason, and compensation isnt good enough for Libertonians. So, the Liberty officials made a smart move when they provoked the Kanzler on rearming, and mobilizing our fleet. Now, Liberty could finally claim that their people are in danger of Rheinlands renewed imperialistic threat. And suddenly, the Libertonian people chose to support war. It is the Kanzler that enabled the Liberty officials to go with a full scale attack on our Vaterland.

It is sad, that our people finally unite, when facing total defeat. We will join comrades on the other side, for sake of Rheinland as map term.

A strike is commonly known as a legal weapon of workers. When the first strikes were made, the Polizei responded in a cruel manner, creating only more chaos. The people didnt want to go to jail because of simple protest so they had to abandon their homes, and sometimes even their families. They became outcast in their own community. There are many explanations under which we can understand term freedom. Freedom of choice, freedom of speech, freedom of act. Those men had none of those. Lack of freedom is truly slavery.

There are many definitions of war. I will choose the following one: War is armed conflict between armies, nations, or between a divided nation, which is then called civil war. Our target is to have pure military tags, or they are working in close connection with military forces. Is it a war crime to attack members of armed forces, in which your side has conflict with? That is not an act of terrorism. That is act of war, of war tactic.

So, before Revolution, what keep wages so low? Again, some invited enemy of the government? You show one of lowest tricks used by companies these days. They pass the guilt on someone else. Never take the blame which is rightfully theirs.

Selling our ships could not solve Rheinlands problem on a long term basis. We would happy, if selling our ships would solve all the problems that we, you and me, face, but, these millions that we can acquire, could only keep moving Rheinland for a very brief moment. What we need, is a change in the system. A system that will finally be able to create enough wealth for all people. Why do you keep thinking that such a task is impossible? I dont believe in impossible situations. The solution lays in a planned economy.
