I would definitely choose my words more wisely, Pierre. Don't worry, I will organise a circus, however the main performance will consist of Confederate lapdogs, just be careful you aren't among them.

Heavy hour,
This situation Gallia is in right now couldn't come in worse time, I've seen these damn Kusarians in Tau-31, now they are pushing themselves into Languedoc.
Bear in mind I'm talking on my own, not on behalf of the whole Enclave. Let's talk about how we can help each other, I've got some ships I can spare in order to push them back from Languedoc, if you are going after them, guess you will because you don't want to bow low to these guys.
I wanted to propose a temporary cease fire between you and me, if you want to get rid of the Naval forces, I can help because our fight CAN wait if our Gallic civilians are in danger. That's something we both care about don't we?
I will be patiently waiting for your answer, though time isn't on our side. If you want you can share what's happening right now. Are they pushing just through Languedoc? What's the fleet status and stance of the Confederation?

La'Row,
A large holographic image of Vaillant sitting on his command chair appeared. We could see the old Kingdom of Gallia emblem on the back of the chair as it was not facing the screen. Suddenly, the chair turned in a fast move towards the luminous screen showing up a determined Vaillant holding a glass of wine in his right hand.
It has been a while, and I am still alive for your grand pleasure I guess? He drinks his cup of wine
Indeed, it appears that these Kusarians are nothing but a a bunch of opportunists, cowards, I would even say scavengers. They believe they can deal with a weakened Gallia. And obviously the word "bow" is not in our vocabulary.
Obviously that is both in our interest to fight these demons. I am willing to accept your personnal ceasefire between you and me. Time shall say if talks should start between the Confederacy and the Enclave, depending on how the conflict can escalate.
You will be horrified to learn that Gallia is at the moment surrounded. The Naval Forces are as well attacking Lorraine and they managed to establish a solid breachhead in the system. The main forces of la Marine Nationale are moving there and I have been appointed to participate in the defense of Lorraine. From what I see, there are chances for us to stop their advance in Lorraine but I am well more concerned for the le Front Sud.
Sincèrement
Vaillant greeted with a gesture of the head while the holographic image was disappearing.

I wouldn't have said it better,
I am glad we are on the same wave right now, Pierre. I share the meaning of your words about these oppurtunistic regime, guess they are still mad from the times we did beat them into oblivion in Taus, few years ago. But this is just something nobody expected.
Situation seems to be worse than expected, if they are in Lorraine, they are preparing a large scale war and they really mean it.
Just keep me updated via this channel, I guess we will use it for joint reports, so I can decide on next moves in the nearest future. Meanwhile I will have a word with my battlegroup, good luck out there.

La'Row,

I was wondering if where you were hidding during the past days. Let me guess, you had some endeavours somewhere elsen isn't it?
You will certainly be higly disappointed by the recent outcome of the events. Our forces have been forced to retreat from Languedoc and Lorraine to avoid a complete destruction by the Kusari Forces. I know it might sound foolish, but either way it wasn't possible to hold Lorraine and Languedoc against the blitz we were facing. We had to save our main forces for the main battle later.
Pamiers has suffered from the main enemy spearhead but successfully retreated to Dauphine. Epinal is damaged yet not as Pamiers and joined the Venissieux at Nevers. Together they will hold the line till their last breath. After all, the final battle for the Duchy is about to begin.
Even though Kusari managed to realize some major advances, we are far to be beaten, when our forces are finally regrouped, the true battle shall begin. I have a lot of assets to use still.
It appears Kusari is not aiming to take the control fully of our systems but aim for our main shipyards and likely our capital. Some of our bases in Lorraine are not under the Kusarian occupation, and it looks like the same for Quillan in Languedoc. Time we'll say if that's a terrible mistake or not.

Here we are,
Oui, you are right about my disappointment, however I am also glad you've got a plan and you haven't been beaten by these proud idiots yet. I saw Pamiers and I must say I am kinda wondering how is it possible it's in one piece, floating around Gap.
Your losses brought me back to the theatre, Pierre. I thought you've got situation under control, however the recent events proved me wrong, so I was forced to return and ensure our people are safe.
I will see what I can do, if my crew is willing to assault Naval Forces from behind and cut its tail.
