I'm pissed

Anna.

Seriously?
Anna, we're not fighting a war against the people of Rheinland. When will you get that into your goddamn head? How many of the Hessians under your command are former employees of Daumann and Krüger? Like, I know that we're fighting a war and that casualties can't be avoided, even civilian ones, but I try to give the Revolution a friendly face, do what we're supposed to do, winning over the working class for our cause, and then you smash every single one of those efforts with that stupid 'fear us or else'-attitude? Have you not learned anything from your predecessors?
This is a war for the soul of the people, not a war against them. How do you think we're supposed to win this, like, ever, if you try getting their hearts with instilling fear rather than hope? You've branded yourself and the Hessians (and by extension the Bundschuh, since you so kindly offered to get us involved in this with the evacuation, which after your comm seems like a stupid, political move to look good rather than the actual try to actually put some sense into this violence) as a complete and utter maniac.
You're a hessian, I get it, and I also get that you're not exactly as reluctant to kill as I am. But seriously, whoever wrote that speech for you needs to be fired. Immediately. I'll go and try fixing what's fixable with the supporters and politicians that you've so kindly forgotten about. Damn it Anna, even the fraking Unioners do a better job at PR! You go take a shower. And I highly, dearly suggest that you never take up the Rheinland-wide comm after you've just won a battle again.
By the way, and let me be clear on this. If you ever. EVER. Paint me a liar again in public, doesn't matter if you do it by action or by speech, I'll come over and pull out that bullet I've had to leave in you, and I'll do it without medical tools.

Oh, and get your arse over here. I need to slap you in person.
Nika.
