Direktor Wilcke,

It's been quite some time since I had the honor of communicating with the Director of the Bureau of Rheinland Naval Intelligence, which is the correct translation of Buro Der Marineintelligenz, isn't it? My name is Antonin de Lusignan, former Director of the Gallic Security Bureau and now one of the four Marechals, Governor of the Champagne-Orleanais supersector, I have the honor.

I am contacting you about the possibility of discussing one-on-one joint military exercises related to the rising degrees of relations across Sirius and the possible imminent ignition of inter-state conflicts. Rheinland has always been a friend of our nation, no matter what, and we would like to share with you the experience we have gained over the years of warfare. No doubt you have plenty of experience in fighting and full-scale warfare against other houses, but perhaps together we can improve our tactics and strategies, and lay the foundation for a stronger, more allied relationship between our states.

If you are interested in conducting such exercises between our more specialized branches of the armed forces, we could discuss this at my residence on the planet Orleans, in Orleanais. Over a cup of coffee, wine, or beer, if you prefer. I hope you won't find it vulgar.

I look forward to hearing from you, Direktor.

To: Maréchal Antonin de Lusignan,

Schönen Tag, Maréchal Lusignan. The pleasure's all mine, and you're correct in your translation; however, let's get to the matter at hand.

Right now we're watching Liberty and Bretonia rally into a new power pole as we speak and our neighboring Republic is wiping clean last pockets of significant organised resistance within the House. Their hands will be untied once this is done and over with, and it is still up to debate where and how will this new alliance strike and whether the quasi-state of Crayter will be hard-pressed into contributing to this ill-built alliance. Ill-built alliance that has negative sentiment for Rheinland and Gallia as you remember.

Preparing an adequate response is a must. I'll be there.

Auf wiedersehen.

From,

Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke,
Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts
