Sender : Haruto Yashida High Commissioner Recipient : Rheinland Military Command Subject : Rheinland Military vessel incursion Priority : VERY HIGH Date : 03-01-827
Konnichiwa to the Rheinland Military,
I am Haruto Yashida and I am the High Commissioner of the Kusari State Police,and as I understand a certain incursion has happened involving a Rheinland Military Transport vessel in New Tokyo.
Today my Inspector Satu Anju was doing a normal daily patrol at the relevant time of the encounter and had just departed from Planet New Tokyo to find a rather large Rheinland Military Transport right in front of him and I am lead to believe it startled him to begin with.
Now I am lead to believe that this particular law is presently still active :
Quote:5-3 Foreign police or military ID'd vessels are only allowed inside Kusari Territory under the following conditions:
They are invited by their Kusari counterpart
They are escorted by Kusari Law Enforcers
Now then to my knowledge our database shows no communication between ourselves and your Military Command regarding the use of Kusari space in this particular matter.
I hope this is just an oversight on your behalf but as I have stated above no foreign military vessel should be seen within Kusari house space without prior permission and as my officer used his initiative he proceeded to escort the vessel out of house space with no further action taken.
This incident has been logged on our system for now and is still pending some sort of investigation and I would like to think that we can bring this matter to a close,but it concerns me that your vessels have not been authorised to enter Kuasri space to the best of my knowledge.
I look forward to you supplying all the relevant documentation and evidence to satisfy me that everything is in place and this is just some misunderstanding that can quickly be resolved.
Once we hear from you we will investigate the matter further.
Signed, Haruto, Yashida
High Commisioner, Kusari State Police
As I am sure you are aware, the Rheinwehr has been conducting a staged withdrawal in accordance with the treaty between our Houses. Needless to say, given the rapid advances of our forces, it now necessitates a substantial logistical undertaking. As a result, while unfortunate, it is not entirely unexpected that some vessels may still be engaged in this process. Recent GMG assaults against the Saigon Autonomous Council, necessitating the involvement of the combined Kusari-Rheinland task force in Sigma-21, may further complicate this issue, as a number of logistics vessels were seconded to the council during the emergency. Unfortunately, without further Log Records, or transponder information, we are unable to clarify precisely which vessel it was, and to which mission it was assigned.
We are pleased to hear that your officer was able to competently and peacefully deal with the incident, and that our officers proceeded as per the Oberkommando's standing orders for the cooperative withdrawal of forces. We can assure you that no violation of your law, nor insult, was intended.
The burgeoning cooperation between our two Houses, especially in regard to the revolutionary cooperation between our Houses that the Saigon Autonomous Council represents, suggests that further combined logistical efforts may become necessary. To that end, we would like to discuss the question of allowing access to Kusari for the Handelsmarine - it is my understanding that such an authorization would need to be granted by the Naval Command? I would be most gratified if you could enlighten me as to the proper proceedures.
On an unrelated - and unofficial - note, Herr Yashida, I would like to request the appropriate paperwork to enable a personal visit. Thanks to the friendships of my younger days, I have a desire to revisit the wonderful world of Honshu. I would like your permission for my family's personal yacht - the Ehrenberger - and military escort wings that are sadly mandatory for men of our ranks, to enter your space.
Hochachtungsvoll, R. v. Ehrenberg Reinhardt von Ehrenberg
