Tovarisch Katz...it is regrettable that it had to come to this, though I am glad to see that you are still a motivated and patriotic man. I apologize for being unable to succeed as an interim leader to our people.
I sought to find a middle ground between your social polices and the leadership of a powerful military command structure, though ultimately I was unable to make it work, and so I stepped back, ceding power to Meier, and now here we are.
I had believed that Meier's inexperience would be outweighed by his patriotism...though, I suppose what has transpired speaks for itself.
If you wish to see me punished for the lack of better judgement on my behalf, and any damages that may have been done to our home and her people because of me, I will understand this, and I will not resist it.
I do hope however, that you will understand that everything that I sought to achieve, was for the benefit of The Coalition People. My only regret is that I lacked the energy and willpower to lead our people from the top with a benevolent and guiding hand.
I did not believe that my stepping down would cause the situation to worsen...but I digress, I will move onto the original point of my transmission, Premier.
As current General Of The Coalition, you have my word that the combined forces of the Coalition Army and Marine Corps have been ordered not to obstruct you, should you attempt to enter the Duma complex, have you not already done so.
It is my desire to see The Coalition remain strong and united, and so as I said, units under my command will not obstruct your movements or actions.
