The Gallic Union Ministère des Affaires Étrangères
Lily Ward
Madame Ward,
We understand that the Crayter Republic and the other parties of the treaty fear a new war, just as we understand your question about the former Royalists who were accused of committing war crimes during the Second Gallic War. Those who were considered guilty by the Military Tribunal were executed, and such fate awaits for the remaining members of the DeFrance family, who were considered guilty in crimes against the Gallic Nation. Some Gallic Royalists avoided swift and just punishment, and are currently marauding and raiding at our borders, calling themselves Fleur Royale -- we believe you are familiar with these marginals.
The Gallic Union, distinct from its predecessors, has never had a reason to declare war on the Crayter Republic, neither on the rest of the treaty's parties. We believe you understand that if we would like to seek aggression, it would already have happened, and as a proof of goodwill we can allow your ships to travel through our space, visit our planets and stations once again, as well as offer support against the Outcasts.
How can we trust Bretonia, the initiator of these demands? How can you trust a coward? As you can remember, the Bretonian fleet had not come to help you during the devastating Outcast attack on Tau-44, they instead hid in Tau-31 -- this is but one proving factor of their treachery. Or Kusari, that attacked the Confederacy of Gallia, demanding the now defunct Confederacy to surrender the weapons of mass destruction it did not even hold. What for? To use these weapons against YOU, as they captured the outpost next to Holman Station in Tau-31. Do you trust them too?
The last time the Gallic state decided to follow the path of diplomacy, all we received in return was a devastating war with a flimsy justification by the House of Kusari, so how can we believe this time it will not be the same?
