Good day, honored members of the greatest organization that exists for the benefit of Kusari, the Hogosha. It is I, the most exalted star in New Tokyo's nightlife, and Kusari Insiders "Top Businessman with largest untraceable and unaccountable fortune in Kusari" for 5 years in a row, Kanemochi Katagawa. That is right mongrels, rejoice at my visage!
Now, there is stuff to be done. As your peasant mouths and ears must have spread the rumors and news far and wide, Rheinland is at it again in the Sigmas, giving much needed pressure on the Gas Farting industry. Pressure that benefits our business too. But to reap the profits, effort must be taken to collect them.
[indent]
Rheinland military pressure on the Gas Farters will concentrate a lot of their defenses around the south in Sigma-13 and their outposts in the Sigma-21, where they have been tentatively occupying righteous Kusari territory. At the same time, Rheinlanders will rely more on Kusari fuel providers while trying to improve their autonomous fuel production. Increased business to Samura, and in a smaller effect, Kishiro and our own Hogosha corporations, is a boon to Kusari.
Therefore, we have to simultaneously weaken GMG economic capability, and extend the war as most as we can. Focus is to be directed at GMG merchant convoys and supply depots, while leaving the heavy security forces to be shelled by Rheinland advancing forces. Assault and capture supplies from the Gas Farters, and relay the positions of their guards to the Rheinlanders so they can be eliminated. That way they will spend their forces on each other, and reduce any concerns on say, Kurile and Saigon.
---------
I believe for the first time in their existence, the Kusari Naval Forces had the wisdom to take the initiative and advance to enforce Kusari rights in the new territories, instead of waiting for our enemies to force their hand. KNF have deployed forces and outposts, and that shows that Kusari is not to be scared off from claiming what is ours. I urge any operators in the eastern sectors to support KNF operations with supplies and intel, not only of the GMG patrols and crimes, but also about Rheinland forces, for they may become a threat once the GMG are contained.
---------------
The situation in the Sigmas has a lot of weight on our plans, but we must not forget other large issues on the well being of Kusari. The Dragons continue to pester the good people of Tomioka and Nagano at large, and the Naval Forces have not done enough to expel them back into the void of nothingness that is their existence. There are no reason to restrict us here. If you can fight, fight them back. If you cannot, arm those who will.
To the west, things have been quiet... somewhat too quiet. No word of the war in Bretonia being finished, and the Gallics are still busy, I believe. It's time to gather information from the Gallic collaborators.
------------
As usual, inform the Association of any progress or news that might be conductive to our eternal goal of bringing Kusari to its prime spot among the Houses of Sirius.
Enough, I grow bored of directing you all. You should have a decent set of instructions to follow with your meager resources. Go now.
