Oy's Blodwyn O'Driscoll, un' oy work fer deh Republic o' Dublin.
The woman paused, like she hesitated.
Oy dunno where tae start, as tis been a whoile we hadn't some talk widh deh Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army. Especially since deh Republic un' deh Red Hessian Army worked togedher tae defeat deh Fés Battlegroup which was, at dhat toime located in deh Omega 49 system.
Oy mean, bodh o' aour States took deh toime tae set up a debriefing 'bout deh whole operation. Which, fer shure, had some consequences.
We dinnae had news frem ye 'bout aour wish tae have some o' aour soldiers, o' guards trained boye yer forces, since mesel' un' deh Premier Warner talked 'bout afore, as deh Jiangxi training gaved tae yer soldiers impressed oos on yer last visit.
We dinnae had news eidher 'bout deh Cayman subject which was also mentioned during me meetin' widh deh Premier.
Un' on all o' deses madders, we'd loike tae carry on deh talk we started. But also on deh consequences o' all what happened durin' deh past year.
O' course, we also received yer transmission, o' a least deh wun o' deh Ministry o' Truth 'bout deh possibility o' deh leasin' o' wun o' aour Destroyer class vessel. Un' we'll answer it soon aswell.
But t'day, Deh Republic o' Dublin be contactin' ye, on anodher madder. Recently, deh Republic discovered some new installations in Dublin : wun o' em is newly built storage near Graves station. Howe'er , tis nae, dhat pretected boye deh aforementioned station, un' let it be clear, deh Republic intend tae Raid it 'till tis destroyed. Deh fact be, deh structure be , boye far, more impressive den deh usual BMM storage, loike near Southampton, un' moight need more foirepowe'.
Moreo'er, deh Squaddies...
Blod' rubbed her chin, alike she was trying to find the appropriate word to be understood.
...Deh Bret' Armed Force be stationin' deh 6th defensive fleet in Dublin fer a whoile , naow. Un' deh Only purpose o' doses ... Oy dun have any proper word tae call 'em... be tae protect deh Slavers gold trade. Un' as it happens deh storage facility be jus' an extention o' Graves Station, tis loikely dey could interfere. Un' a lil' wee reinforcement couldnae help, could it ?
Roight, un' afore, ye'd answer oos. Un' wanna warn ye.. e'en tis sometin' ye probably alreaday know : Deh Graves field be trapped widh a lot o' moines dhat could hinder any capital vessels in deh area, pinnin' em down un' leavin' vulnerable tae boomers attacks.
So afore we'd launch an assault on deh depot, we had tae inform ye o' deh perticularity o' deh military op which could occur in such an environment.
Tank ye fer listenin'.

I see that the traditional Molly accent remains as thick as ever. But no matter. It has been some time since the Army formally communicated with you, yes. We have been making our presence known well enough to the capitalists though, fear not. We can cover all your concerns over a good bottle of Vodka when the time for that comes.
The Commissariat has been asking you for assets, hmm? It's not my business to interfere with the Ministry of Truth's operations, so I will leave that there.
A loud sigh is heard over the comms.
Rambling. It's one of my shortcomings. Let us get to the task at hand. I get the idea that you've discovered a corporate modular installation within Dublin, and its role in exploiting the system's resources for the failing Bretonian war effort is a bit of an issue.
If you're worried about the risk of the Bretonian forces attempting to stop you, you need not fear so long as the Coalition is your ally. I have dispatched forces and hope to see you on the field of battle. The capitalists will be disposed of in short order if they turn up.
Minefield or no minefield, we will not be stopped.
Roight. So, deh Republic o' Dublin would loike tae officially tank deh Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army fer assistin' aour forces in deh siege o' deh BMM storage depot.
Indeed, deh installation was quickly disposed of, widh yer help, e'en afore deh Armed force could show up.
Blod' paused as she was trying to carefully chose her words. It took only a few seconds for her, to find that exercice tedious. So she simply shrugged, and proceeded.
Howe'er when deh "capitalists" * She airquoted. * showed up, dey wern't disposed of in short order, but aour combined fleet was.
Assisted boye a Libertonian fleet, deh Armed force ambushed aour fleet, near deh southern field. We supposed dhat deh Brets be relocatin' some o' deir forces frem Dublin tae New London tae fend off deh Gallic Royalists, un' are derefore forced tae use foreign vessels tae supplement deir regular fleets.
Anyway.
Deh Republic would still loike tae discuss deh followin' madders, as asked in me previous comm' :
Blodwyn O'Driscoll Wrote: "But, dere's also anodher madder oy would loike tae discuss widh ye.
See... Deh Coalition soldiers, marines, troopers, o' wha'ever dey're called, are renown tae be among deh foinest o' deh whole Sirius sector; be it a madder o' gear, o training.
Oy also heard o' deh trials of Jiangxi, koind o' a ting on its own, oy say.
Therefore, we thought we could benefit from the Coalition experience on dhis perticular military aspect. So oy gonna simply ask oif it would be possible, at some point, fer deh Coalition tae host and train a part of aour ground forces ? Maybe we could also benefit from deh Coalition knowledge when it comes tae soldiers' gear. Yer... bodygards ? ... seem very well equiped un' quoite impressive, oy mus' say."
Premier Ben Warner Wrote: "The Coalition Marines are the pride of the Coalition's Revolutionary Army, Marines are sent to JiangXi whose current woes are actually a boon when it comes to training in a hostile environment...It is so grueling that Coalition Pilots who succeed in the Trials of JiangXi are seen as honorary Marines by the Corps...Still I see no reason why the Molly's own ground forces shouldn't experience our Marine Corps training first hand."
- Deh projects 'bout Cayman dhat deh Premier Warner mentioned durin' aour last encounter.
- We 'd also loike tae know oif deh Coalition got informations concernin' Doye Weissss Rose a Bundschuh group.

It's Premier now. Unfortunate circumstances have lead to the passing of Premier Warner and the State Duma has appointed me to take his place.
Liberty interference that deep into Bretonia, and not on the usual front was especially straining for our forces. At least we accomplished the primary goal of that operation, despite the casualties and force downtime. No matter, though. We have been working on some firepower that ought to level the Libertonians if they get in our way again.
You're right in observing the high quality of our Marine equipment. Our Volgograd Ordnance is top grade, bulkier on average than House guns, but that makes them all the more effective. Training for them is especially harsh too. I think the late Premier's opinion on the Trials should give you an idea of the brutality involved... getting stranded many kilometers away from any semblance of civilization, deep in the irradiated hellhole that is most of Jiangxi's surface, and forced to fight your way back with little more than your wits and a blade.
The death rate for the Trials is so high the Fighter Corps has well since abandoned it as a test of loyalty, but the Marine Corps still uses it to further their survival skills. The payoff tends to be worth it in the latter case: you end up with the finest men capable of storming the worst of breaches.
If you want your own marine units to fight far beyond any others, we will gladly see them to the Coalition's training regimen, or rather, gauntlet. Their manpower might get a little thin by the time we're done with them, but those you have left will suit your needs especially well.
As for Cayman (Kiev) we still have our designs on that system, our forces are continually working to clean out the troublesome Reaper infestation that clings onto the outposts there. I'm not too up-to-speed on the operational parameters but I know that the assaults should soon bear fruit.
The D.W.R. organization has been gaining significant control of the Bundschuh movement, supplanting the dying V.W.A. in near entirety as far as we can tell. They're not quite as timid as their predecessors and have been somewhat useful (though not entirely politically aligned) partners in our ongoing work to dismantle Capitalism in Rheinland.
At any rate, the offer stands. Bring a ship's worth of your best men to Zhukovsky Station, and we'll see how well they hold up.
Oy guess oy have tae congratulate ye fer yer promotion, Premier.
* The woman grabbed a glass filled with an amber liquid and raised it to her lips .*
Err.. dhat moight be inappropriate. O' nae. Please dun moind mae.
May deh former Premier rest in peace.
* She raised the glass to the camera and drank straight from it .*
Slainte !
So, tae get back on deh training madders, oy wanna make shure we unnestand each oders : we dun need aour soldiers tae get through deh gauntlet o' deh Jiangxi trial, fer, we cannae afford tae lose any man o' woman on trainin'. Howe'er, we would, as oy mentionned afore, be interrested tae benefit frem yer marine's corps experience.
Tae be more accurate, trainings in defendin' space station, o' boardin', un' e'en military tactics be what we seek fer aour military. Oy dun nae say we won't be in need fer ground military trainin', but we'll be doin' it step boye step.
We'd also loike tae know how long would it take fer deh trainin' tae be completed.
When it comes 'bout gear, oy guess deh Republic could have some use o' yer armors un' personal weapons, fer we's been left behind on dhat madder, exepted maybe fer defensive gears, loike aour energy field bukwark . A madder we shall fix as soon as possoible.
Derefore, deh Republic was wonderin' oif we could purchase sum' o' yer best gear. Nuffin' be too expensive tae save deh loife o' doses who protect oos all.
Anyway, we dispatch soon a loiner tae reach Zhukovsky widh two hundreds o' aour best soldiers tae be trained.
Roight, on deh madder o' deh Kiev system, deh Republic moight be able tae help deh Army somehow. Un' maybe we should go further into deh subject.
Oy mus' also inform ye dhat deh Republic entered some sort o'... yeah, dhat be deh word... negociations widh deh Kingdom o' Bretonia, at least widh her Fleet Admiral. Well, oy cannae be more accurate, as tis been only preliminary talks, but it could lead tae sumtin' .Maybe e'en tae deh point o' shiftin' soides, un' such...
Un' oif deh Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army wanna talk 'bout it, aour comm' be open.
Tank ye fer listenin'.

Have it your way then. The Marine Corps will still be ready to receive your men. Our orbit-training regime isn't nearly as lethal as the Jiangxi trials, but I make no promises to the ultimate sanity of your men once they're finished training. The courses we'll be subjecting the trainees to will probably take a few weeks to reach their usual conclusion. Every aspect of the Marines' training curriculum is high-pace, high-intensity.
With that out of the way, of course Volgograd Industrial will be willing to sell or ship you munitions. If you're looking to handle the logistics yourself I would advise the Molly Republic register with Coalition Border Control, as somehow your movement has no presently recorded clearance to enter New Moscow. At this point it's more or less a formality but in the long run these issues tend to creep up, making inexperienced militsiya units and junior Army officers shoot first.
Right, let's get onto foreign affairs matters.
Under continued and gradual pressure from our forces the Kiev system should, as previously stated, be cleaned out in regards to the Reapers. Their power has grown completely ineffectual and should be crushed soon. Assistance from Molly forces would only speed up their inevitable and total collapse. I'm ready to receive your suggestions on this matter.
Hmm. I had a feeling Bretonia might come up as a subject sooner or later. I can't say I particularly trust the constitutional monarchists much more than the absolutists pounding them day after day. I'll say this: if the Molly Republic is planning to cut some form of deal with Bretonia, the Coalition wants the People's share of the influence to be felt. The idea of a truce to effectively stem the Gauls has come up within our own leading circle, but I suppose you have the advantage of being "native" as it were. Get us to the table, and maybe we both can swallow our pride for the time being. After all, I've plenty of vodka to do it with.
Deh Republic be glad dhat it will be possoible tae bring aour soldiers fer deh aforementioned trainin' aswell as yer offer o' sale military grade armor un' ammo. Un' oif any compensation 'd be needed, we'd be glad tae pay deh roight proice tae deh Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army.
Naow, it seems ye mentioned sum' paperwork registry tinguie, fer aour forces tae enter deh New moscow system , roight ?
Well, we's a wee bit surproised, as we ne'er heard such a ting frem ye afore, un' have been tradin' in new Moscow fer years widh yer allowance.
Oy do believe dhat deh roots o' dhis misunnestand could be found in deh Coalition law, as tis stated :
Quote: "New Moscow is a restricted zones open only to allies and those holding a valid, registered Visa. Any non-authorized vessels in New Moscow will be pried open and have the atmosphere forcibly vented."
Un' we derefore thought, dhat allies were automatically registered on dhat clearance list, loike deh Red Hessians, unloike odher party which had tae ask tae be allowed first.
So, oif we're mistaken, un' tis a necessary ting tae be, please do add the Republic o' Dublin tae deh Clearance list.
Naow, oy contact ye t'day fer anodher madder :
Recently, a Military Vessel belongin' tae deh Gallic Council of Freedom and National Unity... M'well, deh cap'tain o' deh CLN-D'Entrecasteaux stated dhat dhis vessel was unner deh Bret hoigh command Juridiction un' dhat it was given clearance tae shoot at Coalition vessel, among odhers.
So, as we dunno deh political stence o' deh SCRA toward deh Gallic Council, we thought t'was a good ting tae forward dhis intel tae ye afore we contact dem Council hoigh command.
Note dhat we still dunno oif dhis cap'tain was rogue, o' nay.
Oy do hope we would be able tae sort dhis madder aout, widh ye.
Dhat 'd be all fer naow.
Tank ye fer listenin'.
Dosveeedanya !

I've sent word over to Coalition Border Control after reading your communique. I won't hold you to the usual registration process, and have ordered Border Control to add you to the RED Clearance List alongside the Hessians. That should end any further confusions on the matter. Your transports will be free to collect Volgograd Ordnance and distribute them among your personnel. As for compensation, I believe the Ministry of Plenty has something in mind, and they should be in touch.
The Gallic Council? We don't have much, if any, contact with them. The guncam shots you're showing me seem to indicate the vessel isn't directly tied to the main Council high-command as we know them. We're usually quite indifferent to the Council due to their viewpoint and ties to Bretonia, though the government form they are fighting for is a step above the dark crown most Gauls bend knee to.
I don't know exactly what good trying to contact the Council command about this will do, but you can try. It's always weird when battleships start flying around Dublin. I'd figure the Bretonians need every capital ship at their disposal on the front lines with Gallia.
