Hope you had a good sleep last night after our lovely chat. I wish to know in your expert opinion what the Coalition would do if the Bretonians try to take the Omega-49 system. While Its easy enough for me to speak with Comrade Premier I want to see your take on it.
Signed, Brigadegeneral

Frau Meng.
Your jab aside, the Coalition will not tolerate the presence of a House force in Omega-49, which acts as an essential backyard not just to us, but to the Hessen and Mollys as well. Providing a crucial gateway to the systems of Omega-47, as well as that of Dublin. These are key locations to the Triumvirate for good reason.
If Bretonia's belligerence in Omega-49 persists despite clear warning, then they will force our hands. Violence against the planet will not be tolerated, and neither will any attempt to occupy the system be allowed as it would grant Bretonia a highly advantageous staging ground, positioned with a knife under our throats.
New London will soon burn, should this desperate and greedy move by Stirling's battle-group continue, then I'll be forced to retaliate and destroy the Stirling and its squadrons in detail. The fall of Bretonia's Armed Forces in such catastrophic numbers is not something I currently desire, but it's something I'm feeling increasingly forced to consider. We would not survive a Gallic advance into the Omegas, but I feel their age-old vendetta has already eliminated this event from the realm of possibility.
With the recent success in Dresden, I will be recalling a bulk of the forces formerly stationed within the system back to New Moscow, in preparation for a lightning strike should attempts to reason with Bretonia fail. My personal assessment of the Stirling is that while it does have quite a reputation with its people as well as the ability to repel Corsair aggression, it will not withstand a decisive push from either the Coalition or the Hessen. Bretonian morale is at an all time low and many of their soldiers are most likely fatigued, this does not diminish their pride however. I might not be religious, but pride cometh before the fall.
The Generalmajor has made it clear to me to be very firm-handed and to constantly remind the Bretonians that the Armee will not tolerate aggression against the Planet. And neither will we. In summary, should this unwarranted breach of such a crucial system to us continue, then I will be forced to order for the strategic elimination of the Stirling as an asset and then the subsequent routing and termination of all its assigned squadrons within its battle-group. To this end, I am prepared to commit a hunting party of Typhoons to first declaw the vessel, followed up by the quick and decisive crippling of the vessel using both the Resurgency and the Lenin.
I estimate that depending on the priorities of the battle-group, we will see a moderate loss of snub-craft as well as the potential loss of a Typhoon, I further expect them to either inflict grievous damage to either the Resurgency or to do their best at trying to cripple the Lenin before their hull integrity is finally compromised. These estimations will change depending on Triumvirate involvement of either the Hessen or the Mollys. If the Triumvirate in its entirety commits to expelling this Bretonian advance.. then I do not believe they stand any chance. There is no scope for reinforcement.
The threat of the Corsairs entrenched in Omega-49 still remains. And it's one we should address alongside the Bretonian incursion. It would be most favourable if we would be able to get the Bretonian Crown to fully cooperate and recognize the Triumvirate's equal stake in the system.
Will there be anything else?
