Rheinland has never done well in the Sigmas, a fact my family knows well. Personally gentlemen, I would be more than content to fight this war if I believed we could win, which I don't, or if the war was necessary, which it isn't. I find it both sad and strange that two once firm friends have fallen out over the new world that is Saigon. But that was not my failing, it was that of the Republics. True, another planet is always tempting, but it's cost has already been too high. We ought to bring our boys home, there will be work enough for them in the near future, but their deaths in strange nebula benefit few in their homeland. We must end the war and focus our efforts in Rheinland, not distant glory that is out of our reach. Given time, I feel we may yet reach new heights of accomplishment, but not among the blood soaked stars of far away houses. That, is my position on the war.
"Durchlaucht, with respect, we should leave the war as a topic aside for now. That, with all my respect, doesn't need to be finally discussed here.
What I still need to tell you, is that we care for your brothers. Alexander is right now being brought to my family's Residenz on Stuttgart, your other brother Christian is safe in the von Ehenbergs' estate on New Berlin. Now, as it's already late, I hereby suggest you to end this meeting now, as everything what meeded to be talked about, has been dealt with. "
He nodded. The day had taken it's toll on the older man I agree. Let us then retire for today, I expect that you will all prepare your plans, when the time comes, when we are all ready, everything will be able to proceed without any issues. If you have any further questions, you may contact me if you choose, alternatively, the SIS agents will also be around to answer anything. We mustn't forget, this was first and foremost, Bretonia's idea. He stood up and took a slight bow before everyone Ladies and Gentlemen. He said before departing with his small security detail.
