Commadant,
My sincere apologies for remaining silent over the past few weeks. At the moment, everyone is in chaos, there are major rank shakeups left and right, people constantly on the move. I had to take time to make the final decision of whether I would be continuing to support the king or moving to Burgundy in order to offer my services to the Duchy. I think I am now certain of what will I be doing.
The king has fell back to bordeaux. He has proven incapable of maintaining peace within the gallia space, even after our defeat against the forces of liberty and bretonia. I think it's safe to say he's proven to not be very good at his job. We need a new king, someone who doesn't leave his nation to its devices during great danger, someone who will guide us to prosperity.
When I joined the gallic navy, and subsequently, the MRG, I did it because I wanted to protect those who can't protect themselves. The enclave's goals aren't those, but instead bringing king Charles, who was proven incapable of doing his job, back to new Paris, and they won't stop at anything to do it, even if it means killing their own people.
Despite not being very excited about working with the council, I will offer my services to the Duchy, and move my fighters and bombers to the Burgundy system as soon I receive the order to. It's time to go back to our roots. We exist to protect after all, not to kill unarmed and innocent people. May this be for a greater gallia.
Sincèrement
Marine Royale Gauloise, Maître Jacques Lu Cont, signing off.
