"Our house is losing a war, Captain. Open conflict with another house is nothing but suicide. If you honestly think I'm nothing more than a fool, then why did I put myself between two fleets and shout at the top of my lungs to get them to not open fire. No one wanted this war, it was those idiots in parliament and the High Command that led to this.
We haven't been able to lead a decent offensive since the end of the Colonial-Bretonian war, our resources are dwindling, and that will happen faster now with a fourth front opening up.
If you think this war with Rheinland was cause for, you're largely a fool than I.
You also mentioned this stopping somewhere. Here's an idea. Try harder.
Also, feel free to slander me all you want chap, I know there will be more of your type, and I really don't care what your views are. You're far too gone to realize that the destruction of our house is close at hand with this new front."
"Both sides are at fault for this conflict, Captain. I will do everything in my power to end it."
