Sender: Commandant Pierre Vaillant Recipient: Royal Intelligence -Les Révélateurs- Subject: Opération Bouclier Royal.
Bonjour Royal Intelligence,
I am the Commandant Pierre Vaillant, capitaine of the RNS-Sombre Destin. We met recently in Newcastle and New London. Your help has been really appreciated during the last event in Newcastle. You showed your skills and your organization.
I am leading the Opération Bouclier Royal, which consists in defending the IMG refinery South Shields and then take over Newcastle with the help of the Embrun. For now, we succeed in our defense, though the intervention of the Crayterians terrorists is worrisome. The Task Force Malouines has enough forces to deal with the Ark Royal with the Sombre Destin but not face to a coalition.
I might request your help in those trying times. I am waiting your answer.
Sincèrement
Marine Royal Gauloise, Commandant Pierre Vaillant.

Bonjour, Commandant Vaillant. My name is Adelaide Gauthier, and I've been put in charge of Les Révélateurs, otherwise known as Battlegroup 22 of the Royal Intelligence. I believe that we'll be coordinating our activity in the coming months. First of all, merci beaucoup for the sitrep.
Among out other duties, Escadron XXII is charged with assisting other Gallic Forces with their duties, whenever feasible. Newcastle isn't our primary objective, but it's a thorn in our side and a potential opportunity to strike at Bretonia from another angle. That, and the presence of the Embrun is enough to warrant our intervention. Les Révélateurs are ready to assist you in your operation.
There is one thing I must point out before we proceed. Escadron XXII took heavy casualties during the Leeds offensive, and the replacements are still being deployed to the frontlines. There are too few Révélateurs in Bretonia yet for self-sufficient operations. Our heavy assets, such as cruisers and battlecruisers also haven't been redeployed yet.
However, the forces that are already here stand ready to do their part. On our own, the battlegroup is outnumbered, but not always outskilled. If we were to group up with your forces in Newcastle, we could help turn the tide, even against the numbers that the Bretonians and their cronies bring to the table.

Bonjour,
It's always glad to see our intelligence Service so well prepared. The Marine will provide you an unestimable help for your goals. We already did great coordination with you! Sympathic!
Nonetheless, our plan for Newcaslte changed Earlier today our scouts squadrons discovered a Bretonian base in Manchester near the wreck of Birmingham. There are already weapons platforms and this installations is a real threat to us. We might require your help.
The opération will begin soon. I am counting on you
Sincèrement

Bonjour, Commandant.
Naturellement, Escadron XXII will stand ready to provide any assistance we can. Our situation with personnel and equipment is changing, but slowly. That's why for now we've been avoiding direct combat and focused more on non-conventional operations. For large-scale fleet action we can deploy an Obstinate-class battlecruiser, but we're at our best when we operate with smaller assets, such as Perilous-class corvettes.
With that in mind, it's unlikely that we'll be able to damage the station directly. What we can do is run interference and provide support to your fleet. That's when we're at our best, as our recent operations in Ontario and Poole have proven.
Sender: Commandant Pierre Vaillant Recipient: Les Révélateurs Subject: AH! Excellent!
Bonjour,
I knew I could count on you. You didn't disappoint me. Even if you don't have enough warships, the Marine will provide firepower. What do I need? Pilots who can harass the Bretonians, precision work, flexibility. You are doing very well in that role.
A last thing. The planned attack is on hold for the next 24 hours. We got an unexpected answer from the owner group. As you can see, they are willing to negociate to safe their heads. It appears they don't trust the Bretonians to ensure their own security and are about to capitulate.
I am sure you are getting the enourmous possibilities this can offer. And in my knowledge this might interest you for sure. I will meet you soon and inform you about the current situation in the next hours. Even if you normally know what's happening as Intelligence...
Sincèrement
Marine Royal Gauloise, Commandant Pierre Vaillant.
