Fleet Admiral O'Brien,

Neither I or any other representative of the Republic, would ever wish to overstep into the competences of the governing bodies of the Kingdom of Bretonia. As far as dictating on how Bretonian space is to be administered, I believe that you may have perceived our message wrongly and by no means was that our intent. We are simply expressing to you what we see as concerning and expect your help with it. Betrayal was never claimed, but the questions and speculations these acts raised, express the displeasing of the Republic of Liberty, towards Battlegroup Auxesia using your space as a basing point for their operations, a retreat point against the Republic and yourselves supporting an organization operating a stolen Liberty Warship, allowing it free access to your space as evidenced in your laws as well. That being said The Republic of Liberty, expects from you not to banish, not work with, not to cut trade or mercenary services, nor assist us in our conflict against them.

Rather I can provide some examples on what can fulfill our expectations in a manner which I believe would satisfy both of us.
Starting with us expecting you to help us get our warship and technology back, not be supportive of this organization militarily in cases that might harm the Republic, not to be supportive through providing military-grade technology, as well as not to fund their operations that might harm the republic or donating to them. Furthermore to regulate their usage of the Liberty-Bretonia border for it not to serve as a basing point or a retreating point for their operations against the republic, as well as regulating any interfering, intervention or provocation on their side in the presence of or regarding the Expeditionary Fleet and it's operations within what is considered as Bretonian sovereign territory. These are perhaps the best examples of the expectations on our side, which I believe would satisfy both of us.

But considering your proposition, I suppose there's a chance that what is stated in the two paragraphs above can be effectively dismissed. The Republic of Liberty and the Liberty Navy are not a war-mongering monster, instead I wish to say that your proposition is viewed on by great interest by the Republic. Cease-fire negotiations and arrangements can be in fact arranged at any time, and nothing has stopped them from contacting the Department of State to do such. But with you serving as the intermediating link, I believe the results of such could be in fact fruitful. Perhaps can even be the basis for a new start, meaning a possible win-win-win situtation for all involved parties. In other words, your offer is perfectly acceptable. But there's one thing to note.

In the beginnings and early periods of the Liberty-Rheinland war, there was a very significant drop and destabilization of the stock markets. That is mostly because people were unsure of what was going to happen. That means uncertainty and businessmen hate uncertainty. I also dislike uncertainty. But I am more than willing to give your offer a try, nonetheless. Please do deliver the news and let us know of their response. Unless we see a promising response and acceptable results, we will have to continue with consolidated requests similar to the examples provided in the two "opening" paragraphs.

On a brighter note and for some good news the First Fleet Command is working on some preparations before we may initiate a new project for a possible upcomming deployment of specialized First Fleet task forces in Bretonia.

Myself and the Republic wish you all the best and thank you for your offer in solving the conflict in a more positive way.

Best of Regards,

Alan Jones
Fleet Admiral, First Fleet
