Je vous salue.
In the light of the Sirian invasion into the Gallic core worlds, the Royalist forces propose to impose an unconditional ceasefire starting from 743 A. G. S. July 1st 0:00 hours of the Gallic main time.
If you agree and the ceasefire will be de-facto established, we wish to discuss the further steps in repelling the attack of the Sirian invaders.

Prévôt Viviane Dior,
A large holographic image of Vaillant sitting on his command chair appeared. We could see the old Kingdom of Gallia emblem on the back of the chair as it was not facing the screen. Vaillant started to speak while he was not facing the screen.
I knew that such call from the Enclave would arrive one moment or another. However we miscaculated the moment that it would arrive as we did not expect it'd be that earlier. I am going to give you our thoughts regarding your call and this message as well.
Suddenly, the chair turned in a fast move towards the luminous screen showing up a determined Vaillant holding a glass of wine in his right hand.
How surprising is it? How disappointing too. Gallia is now facing a full-scale invasion of an enemy that pretends to act to prevent any further destruction by the Gallic House against the Sirians. How? By the destruction of Gallia. How ironic.
You are coming to us a bit quickly don't you think? The war has started since less than two days and you come to us asking a ceasefire? How comes you changed your mind that quickly? You are speaking of the great regret to fight your own brothers in arms , Dior. Have you ever forgotten what happened that day? A day of December 742, the 7th very precisely. The Marine Royale had decided to leave the Hébrides for the Duchy. I am sure you do recall what happened there.
We believe it is well too early to make an unconditional ceasefire between our two forces. After all, the die isn't cast yet is it? I make you a counterpropose, Dior. The Marine Nationale forces propose a conditional ceasefire, restricted to Languedoc, allowing the Enclave forces to assist against the invaders. The ceasefire shall start from 743 A. G. S. July 1st 0:00 hours of the Gallic main time.
Sincèrement

Je vous salue.
I will only remind you that under command of his majesty we were assaulting California, under the command of "Assembly" you are barely holding at Languedoc and Lorraine. Doesn't it feel humiliating? Unlike you, we did not change our minds about Gallia, her government, her real borders, and wars she's waging. You ran from the war, thinking that Sirians are equals and worthy human beings. His Majesty knew how to keep them at bay. Until you follow the orders of spineless assembly, you won't see any success.
December incident is very simple, we have dealt with deserters who fled the frontline and forgot about core gallic values you speak about so much, but don't seem to keep any in the end.
You say it's been two days of war and you are correct... in two days you have managed to lose all Taus and let the enemy invade core systems. It's just painful to watch, I feel like our dead that have fallen in the previous war against Kusari are spinning in their graves.
We fight to protect Gallia, and unlike opportunistic clowns sitting at assembly who traded conquered space left and right to buy peace, we protect it not matter what. If it's surprising to you that we level down political ambitions to protect our country, then it's rather disappointing. We are not Council and Republican traitors who fought against their own country during the wartime, oh though you have found a common tongue even with them.
However, when I said that the ceasefire has to be unconditional, then it has to be unconditional. Otherwise, it won't happen at all. If you are so much about the tough talk, I am sure you will be able to handle Kusari fleets heading your way all on your own.

Prévôt Viviane Dior,

It is amusing to see how you can switch from 'brothers in arms' to 'deserters' that quickly. Are you at least aware of the pretext that Kusari found to launch an extermination of the Gallic military capabilities?
They are invading our House because of the Kingdom's actions, because of the ideal that most people in the Enclave still upholds. Oui, they are afraid.
Soon will come the time of the judgement of the responsibles of this crisis. Everything in its time, Dior. We have a war to win first. Do not be foolish, Kusari just took the control of empty space and even if they made their way to the Core systems, the real fight will only begin now. The surprise of this invasion allowed them to get there, yet the responsibles will pay in time.
Two days ago, I was again Commandant, today the things have changed. The Kusarians don't know in what trouble they have put themselves. They have signed their death warrant.
You said that you aren't 'the Council and Republican traitors who fought their own country' right? So I guess you aren't going to seek any conflict with the Marine Nationale oui?
However, unconditional deals would require a bit more trust from you and you could earn it over time if you cooperate rather than making demands left and right. We decline your unconditional ceasefire. However our offer still stands, and even if you deny it, the Marine Nationale shall enforce a ceasefire with the Enclave forces in the Languedoc system from 743 A. G. S. July 1st 0:00 hours of the Gallic main time. Futhermore, the Marine shall engage Enclave ships in any other Gallic systems for the time being, however.
We have things that need to be finished, and when they are, they'll change the destiny.
Sincèrement

Sirians see us as all the same. As soldiers, we followed orders, as soldiers we keep fighting the war, being loyal to the country. I will repeat it once more, we are sailing the same boat. You may point fingers as much as you want, it won't change a fact and Kusari invasion is only to prove it.
For the sake of Gallia and her victory I will discuss conditions. If in addition to the local ceasefire National Navy won't enforce the blockade of Hebrides and allow the flow of the supplies. Give me a word that siege of our fortress will be lifted and the ceasefire shall start at 743 A. G. S. July 1st 0:00 hours in the system of Languedoc. You should be busy enough to hold full blockade anyway.

Eh bien I think you will have plenty of opportunities to make your words a reality isn't it?
The Marine Nationale Gauloise is willing to light the embargo of the Hébrides and the ceasefire shall start as planned at 743 A. G. S. July 1st 0:00 hours in the system of Languedoc. I need to warn you that the levy of restrictions regarding the embargo is unofficial, as you obviously can guess such idea is unimaginable for the Republicans.
Just like you said, it will be impossible to fully enforce the blockade given the situation in Languedoc. You can expect less patrols. However we cannot guarantee the safety of your transports in Languedoc, especially against the Kusarians if they are close to the frontlines.

And in the end, you are reasonable. Very well, the ceasefire will come in effect as per our agreement, I will tell our troops to stand down and prepare our transports to ship up the components we need.
Now I imagine you are busy with organizing a counter assault. Best of luck to you, I just wish we found common ground under more pleasing conditions. Hopefully, we will manage to build enough trust to make healthy forces in our house to prevail and finish off our enemies. This channel will stay open for Royal and National navy high command for the future contacts.
For Gallia.

Gallia is having allies to help out against the Kusarian invasion. Therefore it would be useful if the Enclave could not turn their weapons against them.
This would go as another condition of the ceasefire agreement, I believe. And another way to earn our trust isn't it? Do you think that's a task that Enclave can accomplish?

I would not necessarily exclude the possibility of this. But you would have to be much more specific, as your republicans friends were not too picky with their relationships at all. Whoever the potential ally might be, they will not claim even a single bit of gallic sovereignty over Gallia herself, Taus or space of what we formerly knew as "Bretonia".

I can assure you that is in their interest to not even think to establish any influence over our belonging space.
I propose you the following, Dior. The Enclave shall strictly engage the Kusarians Forces and their supporters and only them in the system of Languedoc. In the Taus (Tau-23, Tau-53, and Tau-31), it should be in your interest to prioritize the Kusarians over other target as well.
Does it sound a fair deal?
