[EFL Oil and Machinery]

Bonjour esteemed CEO of Gateway, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Allow me to introduce myself I am Jeremie Dupont, CEO of EFL Oil and Machinery.

EFL is the largest corporation in Gallia, from ship construction to fuel production. We have influence of nearly every sector of Gallic life. Now, its is becoming increasingly clear that the end of the Gallic/Bretonian war is quickly approaching. Which means the next thing to do is reconstruction. Historically speaking reconstruction is filled with strife and madness. Instability caused by loyalists insurgents to the old regime slows the rate of reconstruction and only causes more despair for the civilian populace. I want to stop that before it happens, and that is where your corporation comes in. My sources in Kusari suggest that the Bretonia government has snubbed Gateway in the past. Getting the short end of the stick, picking up Bowex' scraps too whom you play second fiddle. I however am here with an offer that could change your corporation forever.

I'll make it short, side with Gallia and after the war you will be the shining light Bretonia needs. The new Gallic Supported Government will have you at the top of the contract list. You will be the first to be called, Bowex will be left by the wayside to scrounge at the scraps they were only too happy to feed you.

Listen to me, if you side with us I can ensure the safety of all of your employees when Bretonia falls. Forget politics, think about your people. After this war is over Bretonia's people will be searching for any sign of familiarity and Gateway will be that familiar face.

Think it over, this can be very profitable for both of us I assure you.



Let's make a deal,
Jeremie Dupont,
CEO, EFL Oil and Machinery

Greetings Monsieur Dupont,

My name is Alan Shepard, the CEO of Gateway Shipping Inc. It is an honor to have personally obtained the CEO of EFL Oil and Machinery's request. Honorable thing but honor is then important, is not it ? I think it's better if we leave the moral things now. What does war mean to you ? Rate this concept, "war". If you really think about the concept, you realize that this is the synonym for the business, the largest business where I think there are only winners, yes because the businessmen only win this.

I've been thinking about what you said and, with all due respect, I think you are underestimated and misunderstood who we are, Monsieur. Who is supporting who ? Many have tried to offend me with the name "Underdog of Bretonia". If this so-called war is lost by Bretonia, without the Government's support, we will remain Gateway Shippinc Inc. too. I hope you feel it, so far, we have been working for the independent and free trade across Sirius. I think you also profited tremendously thanks to the GRN successes so far. It may be good to show your loyalty so richly. Leave out of this government influence It poisons the brain. It ends once and you will stay without big investments and without government orders.

That's business for me. I have not yet decided that you want to do business with me, Monsieur, or want to chat about patriotism and war. War is hell itself so you do not want to play with angels because you burn your wings. If you need to do business, it depends on how much you can sacrifice for win-win party. We do not ask for patriotism or government influence. If these are met, then congratulations, you are closer to the greatest business in your life.

Sincerely,

Alan Shepard,
CEO,
President

Monsieur Shephard,

I was beginning to worry I would never see your reply!

I am most pleased you have chosen to respond and even be willing to entertain a business proposal. Indeed, war is war and business is business to this I agree. Additionally, patriotism is a pesky thing that can get in the way of business however I have found that sometimes it can be prudent to have powerful people in your corner. That aside however here is my proposal.

Gateway could access Gallia and all her wealth effective immediately, now obviously you cannot allow Gallic traffic on your stations, with the exception of maybe Oceana Shipping Platform, with out stirring trouble for your selves so I wouldn't ask that at all. No, indeed what I ask for is your aid in familiarizing us with Bretonian Social structures which could aid in the transition from the current to the new post invasion government.

EFL Has been tasked with preparing for the post war Bretonian reparations and we are hoping to make this incredibly smooth and seamlessly for the common man of Bretonia since they have the most potentially to loose in it going badly.

Undoubtedly this will be a tumultuous time for Bretonia that unless handled carefully and in a strict order could be catastrophic for many innocent civilians. I must assure you profits to me are secondary in this situation right now my priority is the safety and well being of the Bretonian Civilians in the days, weeks, and months after the fall of New London.


PS:
If you do allow us on Oceana Shipping Platform I can promise you that many valuable commodities from Gallia will find their way there with the utmost discretion. What exactly, we can discuss once we come to a agreement.

Let's make a deal,
Jeremie Dupont,
CEO, EFL Oil and Machinery

Greetings Monsieur Dupont,

Please excuse me for delaying my answer there was a little communication problem. Here, even the walls have ears too so we will continue on this encrypted channel. I see you are very serious about Bretonia complete control. No matter what price, just finish it sooner. To my knowledge, this hurry can be due to a shortage of raw materials but do not misunderstand me, I do not want to tease you.
The Bretonian society will not easily give up Thiers, believe me. If They have to die for their beloved Bretonia They will die as martyrs and heroes without fear. The population will not easily be transformed into such a form, this is somewhat childish and no longer objective but I think this is a top-level command to gather information, no matter.
Which I'm rather interested to discuss is about Oceana Shipping Platform. My favorite base can be the subject of a threat but the idea of sabotage is terrifying. But I'm a forward looking and open minded man. Look at what the commodity might be, which I could not get from elsewhere & cheaper. An offer and a price list would be great. What can we give in exchange ? Maybe docking rights strictly for EFL ... Maybe some Ore ... Sirius commodities... and the most exciting raw materials & building materials. I suppose there is a shortage of raw materials in Gallia and trading in Cortez would help a lot on the reserves. But that will be expensive.
Maybe I do not want to go further, for now.

Sincerely,
