To: Laura Carsten, polizeidirektorin of the Rheinland Federal Polizei. From: Heinrich Stuhl Subject: Salvage Depot
No permission was asked, to build weapon plataforms many materials are needed, and even for Kruger that demanded very quick mobilization. And in the mess that the threat brought to Kruger administration, personal relations been relied upon, the possible costs in fines weighted against the possible losses, and the construction started without permission even knowing that would bring consequences.
Kruger plan to build 3 more weapon plataforms in next weeks, according to hauling capacity availability.
The IFF dispositive will be checked upon, but was working normally ive been informed, checking again wont hurt i guess.
You see, we expected the regular pirate opposition, but being away of the Hessians "area of operations", usually other Rheinland criminal groups prefer targetting foreigners or Rheilanders that arent that much... how can i say that... "loyal" to our Vaterland so, we deemed our defenses and security wings sufficient.
As we even supplied Harmony long ago, even knowing something about their relations and "not so legal" partnerships, we live in a dangerous universe, and even Kruger sometimes need adhere to the motto "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", we assumed they would be what one would expect from a group that seceded from its navy claiming about their superiors to be infected or dont know which other excuses. We expected them to act as law enforcement.
Instead, they contacted our base manager as pirates; claiming a inexistant registration fee in a space that they dont control, saying we had 24hours to bend to their threats and pay a ransom, else they would attack our base and kill everyone inside.
Retreating when realized that at least some in Rheinland would step up to bring them to justice if they attacked, dont change what they done.
The fact our government seems to ignore such actions completelly, dismissing such as a "mistake" is really concerning. Make seem like if wasnt a Kruger asset, but some less influent Rheinlander on same circunstances, he could even lose his base to those criminals and nothing would happen.
