Seated next to the likely more talkative of the Bretonian representatives was John Redmond, an Admiral of the BAF, Leeds native, and current commander of both Essex and Stirling, and in effect, Dublin and Omega 49. He kept his emotions in check, despite the scenery that was presented to the conference, he had agreed with himself that he would not show the array of former and present enemies with the satisfaction of seeing an emotional reaction from him.
Standing up to speak, following the Gallic Amiral, he gave a short statement of Bretonias stance towards the Enclave. "It is the diplomatic position of Bretonia, and the military stance of the BAF, that the Enclave, or whatever they call themselves, is essentially a state-less rogue organization of a terrorist nature, albeit one with considerable military hardware and training. Anyone who deals with them are by association guilty in some measure, and Bretonia will act to shut down any relationship they may try to build. They are attempting to create a state from a completely undeveloped world, a recently de-developed world, and some outlaying economic centers, primarily in Orkney, or Brittany as they call it. As it is the stance that Bretonia sees the present representatives as the real House of Gallia, any peace concluded here will of course exempt the Enclave, and they shall be the target of military operations." John spoke with little emotion in his voice, but with a level of intensity suited to the situation.
Turning to face the Gallic representatives "If the Bretonian government, in combined voice with the other allies present, is satisfied with the peace settlement with the "real Gallia" represented here today, and our relations normalize, it is possible the BAF can provide some military assistance and coordination with the provisional naval forces now comprised of former Council and Gallic Naval assets, with the aim to remove Enclave from our collective plates, for peace to reign at least. However - and though I do sincerely hope I am wrong - I fear from the tone of some Gallic representatives here today, the allied forces present today, may not attain the satisfaction required for such cooperation to become reality. For the sake of the military forces who have to face this Enclave, I appeal to you to be willing to make the concessions required for a full peace agreement to be reached. Any peace agreement that comes from this conference may well have "military assistance and coordination against the Enclave" as something the Allies give the Gallic side. That is all for now." and with those final words, John took his seat again, readying himself for the next set of statements likely to follow.
