To Rheinland Fleet Admiral Franz Bäke
Hello, mr. Bäke, i'm Hanna Wyghtham, agent of the Secret Intelligence Service of Bretonia.
It is under unusual circumstances that we find ourselves communicating today sir. The SIS does not make a habit of contacting Fleet admirals of other houses, you must forgive us for being...direct. No doubt you have heard of the recent mess in Omega-3, recent developments have taken a turn which we believe concerns yourselves.
It appears that the RHA has taken the liberty to side with the Miners. As yet we are unaware of the full extent of their relationship, but inital evidence shows them willing, if nothing else, to consider working with one another.
On another note, there is an opinion among some people Mister Bäke that you are not the most attached of all your countrymen to the manners of the Republic of Rheinland. Strange as it may seem, I am speak of a possible return to the Empire of old. A Rheinlandic Empire.
Sincerely,
Signed,
Hanna Wyghtham ,Intelligence Officer

I need to admit, contacting me directly really sparked my curiosity.
First, to the more objective matter, the evidence you had sent just confirms various reports we have received from our traders and "special units" flying as such, that one of our corps is not only fighting alongside with Hessians but actually supporting them in battle, i can only assure to you that not only this fact is being investigated, but a deeper investigation on accounts, monetary transfers and stocks are being started about parties involved.
Now what really made me curious, is why my nostalgic memories of a more glorious and less corrupt times may interest a Bretonian intelligence agent.
My opinion about the endemic corruption on our government, where the welfare of our citizens and the safety of our home is put in second place, behind personal interests and "shady deals" , where every little thing needed must be presented with a "gift" to have a chance of happening is quite public.
The state of Rheinland Military itself when i assumed is a clear sign of such problems: i had as high ranked officers people that never saw a shot fired in anger, that never commanded a ship in combat, just because they been appointed by politicians to that position.
Such things didnt happened while we had a strong government unit, something that i admit i envy in Bretonia, as soon some action is deemed as necessary, all means at disposal to make it happen are used. I guess such is the life, and i need to do the best with what i have.
So, tell me more about that your "Possible return of Rheinlandic Empire"

Hello Admiral Bäke,
You are not the only person in Rheinland with these nostalgic, glorious memories of a stronger and better Rheinland. Our agnecy saw your house suffering in the last decades. Suffering from corruption, uncontrolled unemployment and rising revolts by various revolutionaries.
Now we, the SIS has taken action to talk to different parties in Rheinland. Listening to the voices that were been ignored by the corrupt government. Voices, that called for changes, people all over Rheinland have imperial dreams, Admiral, also we talked to the Union, they share your memories.
Admiral, I wouldn't contact you if we had nothing to come up with. I live with some friends in Rheinland for now, imperialists, they have a big network all over Rheinland, we also got a candidate for the throne, Hans Fredrick von Albrecht, if you want to have the name.
Although my friends are powerful and noble and all over Rheinland, I am sure the plan to bring your great Rheinland back wouldn't work out with your help, Admiral, with the help of the Rheinwehr. I hope you think about this and contact me when you have made your decision.
Until then, Admiral.
Sincerely,
Signed,
Hanna Wyghtham ,Intelligence Officer

An heir of the imperial lineage you say? Almost as amazing as is hard to believe.
I had understood from my studies that the family line been wiped out long ago.
If such a person exist, need be protected at all costs but, no offense intended: i need more than a foreign intelligence officer word as proof of such existance.

Hello Admiral Bäke,
The line of the von Albrechts still exists. One of my friends from the former nobility of Rheinland still kept contact to Hans Fredrick.
Admiral, I can understand that you need more than my word to believe me. I have an offer for you; I will arrange a meeting for you. I will be there too, to provide security for the Prinz. Do not get me wrong, I do trust you, otherwise I would not have contacted you, but this meeting, regardless of the place, it will be risky for the Prinz to be there.
Mr Bäke, I will contact Mr. von Albrecht too, if you agree to meet him. I propose we meet on a Rheinland Militär ship as I think that would be the safest place around, as you are in addition the head of that agency and could choose the personal that day. I would recommend we meet on the Koblenz, as this would be the quickest opportunity for me to fly there, as well as for the Prinz.
I hope we meet soon, Admiral, I will prepare everything, if you agree.
Until then, Admiral.
Sincerely,
Signed,
Hanna Wyghtham ,Intelligence Officer

If such meeting can be arranged, indeed i would like to realize it.
While i have many pressing matters to atend to, a meeting at Koblenz is possible. I will personally direct a very close and loyal officer to lead both transportation and provide security and secrecy for the meeting, that we can realize in an previously emptied hangar of Koblenz.
This is an opportunitty i cannot ignore, if for nothing else, for meeting in person someone that can be heir of our glorious leaders blood lineage. Isnt everyday one can meet Royal Familys.
As soon as you can confirm details such as date and location to pick up both of you, it will be done.
Be aware however that at the current moment i am close to the front lines and so i may need some time to reach Kolbenz, as i need go trough occupied territory and that never is safe, so some precautions are needed.
