Guten Tag Direktor Enfield,
We haven’t had the pleasure to meet as yet, but I was introduced to one of you Inspektors, Ms Landers. She is a promising agent. She can do well in the future.
As to why I am contacting you, is that before I stepped in as the RFP Bundesgrentzschutz Direktor, there was a back log of paper work that wasn’t prioritized above the immediate needs of securing the Republic’s security in the Sigmas. Now that immediate considerations are sorted, these subjects have been prioritized, including a number of lessons learned from the Saigon incident of paramount importance to the security of the Republic. One of the issues involves yourself.
There are some concerns that I need addressed. On the 04-06-826AS there was a Federal News Station broadcast to state and independent channels. In this broadcast, you mentioned the GMG attack on Fulda, citing the lack of restraints of the Rheinwehr and the Rheinland corporations in profiteering as the cause of the incident, in contrast to our own Government’s testimony. Also you mentioned that the Rheinwehr being at war allowed terrorists to “run free to gas our civilians” as you put it; a politicised statement in violation of the oath of office of a public servant. In addition, the attack you mentioned happened during a time of peace over a year prior. You are not an elected official; you are a state employee. Such an act exceeds your mandate and your obligation to safeguard Rheinland from foreign and domestic security threats as an impartial employee of the taxpayer. These are principles, not guidelines. In wartime, these principles are enforced by national law. You cannot leverage your office to countermand the policy agendas of the Government that appointed you without due authorisation.
You also openly stated that there may be an Imperial agenda within the Rheinwehr, and spoke out against the Bundestag about the war that the Bundestag was attempting to resolve. You mentioned as Direktor of BDM, you are withdrawing your fleet for the safety and security of the civilians. By doing so you undermined the other branches of the defence department, including the homeland security apparatus, navy operations. Allegations of stochastic terrorism may also be levelled, by politicising the defence apparatus. It is important to note that the politicisiation of the defence department has been a contributing factor of all of Rheinland’s historic injustices. We have a separation between those that combat threats to the people and those that advocate for the people for exactly this purpose. It is enshrined within the laws of the Republic, and remains one of the Republic’s founding principles as outlined according to the Von Rohe’s Day protests.
Direktor Geoffrey Enfield. Should charges be brought against you by our courts system, they will be significant. As one public security official to another, I don’t need to tell you this.
We would like to learn the following from you, which will be used to advocate for your defence, should our investigation warrant a criminal tribunal:
Did you get appropriate authority to utilise the Federal Broadcast prior to that speech?
Was the speech inspected and authorised before it was released, by the entire Bundestag domestic security committee, including the Chancellery of Defence, and the office of the Chancellor?
Did you get proper authority from the Bundestag to withdraw your fleet from the frontlines?
Did you get authority, and from whom to mention the Military and government in the position of using federal money, resources, and employees, for political leverage in a time of war?
Do you believe your office to grant you the right to make Intergovernmental decisions of foreign policy independently of the Foreign Office and the office of the Chancellor?
Can you provide documentary proof of the above from non-agency sources?
Until then, you would do well to document your movements to the department of defence, and remain within the contiguous territories of the Republic. Co-operation with the justice department will stand your character in good stead.

Direktor Zorn,
Firstly I want to thank you for your kind words. You are an excellent officer of the law and I am certain you bring this case forward with the best intentions in mind.
It is highly irregular for the Federal Border Guard to start such a case, instead of more relevant departments of the Polizei. In any case, the Direktor of the Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts has received your message and is currently seeking legal counsel. The Inspektorat has also an independent interest in this case.
Before we move on with the specifics, we would like to inquire which specific laws of Rheinland, Direktor Geoff Enfield is accused of violating and of course this case is based on. For your convenience, here is a quick accesspoint to our national laws.
I am sure you would agree that it is important to be more specific and avoid a possible embarrassment as was the case not too long ago.

Guten Tag Hauptinspektor Landers,
I must say I am surprised to see you replying, when this comm is meant for Direktor Enfield.
Viktoria you were there at the passing out parade of the RFP – Bundesgrenzschutz, you heard my speech and my divisions assigned duties and tasks. So though my division is named for the Border Control, my scope of Mandate is vast. This is why I am contacting Direktor Enfield.
As to the matter at hand, I am not at liberty to talk about it without authorisation from the Bundestag. I have been tasked to get those questions answered. When I have more information and able to share it, I will.
Thank you for the reference to our Nations laws, but I do know them very well due my life service to Rheinland.
I have no doubt Direktor Enfield will receive this comm, so ill be giving him 48 hours to reply to the questions given. After that, his chance for submission will be withdrawn with possible consequences.
This communique is meant for the Direktor`s eyes only

To: Direktor Zorn
Direktor Zorn, by my own choice I will answer these questions in the easiest and in the best detail I can provide. And don't mind the about Viktoria Landers having eyes on managing the many messages I get through to my channels, If i can trust her with my "legal" issues, then I'm sure you can trust her to pass on the message with confidentiality to you. But lets get on with these questions you have for me:
"Did you get appropriate authority to utilise the Federal Broadcast prior to that speech?"
The agency's autonomy granted by the Bundestag allows us to do so.
"Was the speech inspected and authorised before it was released, by the entire Bundestag domestic security committee, including the Chancellery of Defence, and the office of the Chancellor?"
No need, The agency's autonomy granted by the Bundestag allows us to do so.
"Did you get proper authority from the Bundestag to withdraw your fleet from the frontlines?"
We never received orders to go there either, The agency's autonomy granted by the Bundestag allows us to do so.
"Did you get authority, and from whom to mention the Military and government in the position of using federal money, resources, and employees, for political leverage in a time of war?"
Theres no need, as far as Rheinland law is concerned, theres no restrictions upon this.
"Do you believe your office to grant you the right to make Intergovernmental decisions of foreign policy independently of the Foreign Office and the office of the Chancellor?"
Not really, but if need be, the agency's autonomy granted by the Bundestag allows us to do so.
"Can you provide documentary proof of the above from non-agency sources?"
No, other than autonomous operations granted by the Bundestag, we've received no other demands and command overrides by the Bundestag.
Anyway Direktor Zorn, I apologise for the delay but unfortunately its hard for me to deal with personal messages as of late and will be for the foreseeable future.
From,
Direktor Geoff Enfield
Büro des Marinenachrichtendiensts, Oberkommando

Guten Tag Direktor Enfield,
You may not mind Viktoria Landers to answer on your behalf, but when a matter as serious as this comes through, it will be best to answer it yourself, than have someone reply for you.
Information could possibly be lost, not communicated properly or left out completely. Thus I needed your direct response. I understand that you are busy, and so am I. But as I mentioned, important matters should take precedence.
Now to you replies to the question put to you. I noticed all the answers are pretty much standardised.
What concerns me is that you publically stated that there is an Imperialist agenda within the Rheinwehr. Even though our laws don’t restrict you to mention it, but it does give the impression that our house is fractured and mistrust. This is not productive in the safeguarding of Rheinland, as our enemies will see this as an opportunity to strike and spread chaos.
Not to mention when I asked for proof of this, you replied with your standardised response. Which does not remotely give any evidence that could be used to launch an investigation. Right now as it stands, it’s the word of a Direktor of an Intelligence agency with no physical evidence, against the Rheinwehr who has protected Rheinland against all threats and helped broker a deal for peace with Kusari. As an Intelligence Officer, that is not a wise move to make as you know evidence is key.
I'm sure you well aware as mere agents of the government, we don't have the authority, privilege and the mandate to be involved in politics. We do as we are told, give advice and serve Rheinland to our fullest potential. But we do not involve ourselves in the political world. You are your own man, and you make your own choices.
If you have nothing else to add to this matter, I will submit this to the Bundestag for their review. Hopefully I will not have to contact you again with this matter. But if I do, I hope for your sake, you have better replies. Cause at this stage, it seems like you are hiding something. The last thing we need is conspiracy theories or to drag the information out of you.
With this response to you now, I can close this matter as nothing further is needed to be said
