- Commander, we have several reports of multiple Bismarck-class Rheinland Battleships opening fire on a Liberty Naval cruiser patrol in Bering.
- So?
- Isn't the ceasefire between Liberty and Rheinland official yet?
- It is, why?
- Sir, isn't shooting at our vessels is a clear viola...
- Shh! No, it isn't.
- Sir?
- What you hear are only rumors. There is no war.
- But Sir...
- One more word and I'll demote you, Lieutenant. There is no war between Liberty and Rheinland. Period!
the dichotomy is very simple: the civilian government wants peace but the military wants war.
So the military makes peace and restores the jumpgates, but the hatred between the militaries has not reduced so they regularly have brawls, and make up excuses for the "strange loss of ships" to appease the civilian government.
actual dialogue would go more like
- Sir, we have rheinland warships on radar, their guns are powering up
- inform the admiral that they are breaking the ceasefire.
- oops my radio mysteriously broke, damn microsoft
- alright boys lets go give those krauts a good beating, power up the weapons!
No atmosphere? GTFO.
The propeller is the greatest invention of all time.
