*Erich frowns slightly as he peers into the video screen*
Rheinhardt's indoctrination knows no bounds, my friends. I met a green Flieger today who went to great lengths to prove that he and others like him are what the Bundestag has in store for us as "the future generation of Rheinland".
Despite his clear eagerness to "put me in my place" and "keep me in line", this altercation did not resolve itself in bloodshed today. A Libertonian had been prowling around the Stuttgart system of all places, and both the Flieger and my*sarcastically*good friend Feldwebel Klaus Weiss accused me of collaborating with him.
I will state immediately that I had not even known of any Libertonians operating in the Western End of Rheinland, but fortunately I talked my way out of the entire situation. I compared the accusation that they had made against me with Zoners and Red Hessians being within the same system. Just because they are there, would it immediately mean that they were collaborating to bring down the Federal Republic?
This was enough to satisfy the Feldwebel, who left stating that there were "more important targets" to busy himself with. A volatile situation that I had defused all the same, but I possess the greatest worry for the Flieger.
In a prior altercation, the Feldwebel had confided in me of all people that he himself worried about what he termed the "savagery" of those soldiers under his command.
*Erich is silent for a moment, gazing off in the distance with a sigh*
Sometimes my fatigue gets the better of me when it comes to effecting change. Were it only that I could wish things to be different.
*Erich turns back to the video screen*That is all I have to report at the moment, my friends. Thank you, and continue fighting the good fight. For Democracy.
