Commandant de Gobineau,
I will be brief: the Defense Authority is offering you to lead a planned-to-be-formed department of logistics under the Authority. Should you agree, you will be promoted to the rank of Contre-amiral, but all military logistics happening under our banner will be your responsibility.

Video-feed opens up with Miroslav de Gobineau in all his splendor comparable to a very humble and gentle bear is seen sitting in a tidy and small office, with a big panoramic window behind him, what a great view on a snowy Metz city. Miroslav looks calm, yet, somewhat surprised and even a little bit humbled.
C'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer, Maréchal!
I'll try not to take much of your time. Oui, I do agree, that would be a honour, for such a humble man like me. Only thing - some bureacratic procedures are still needed, and some time for myself to prepare. Last half an year I was on an official leave and I was helping people of Metz planetside with relief efforts, and after the Maquisard madmen affair - I have some work to do here.
More importantly, if I remember correctly, majority of Division du Train assets are currently requisited by Marine Nationale, most importantly: Logistics Center on Avallon, Burgundy, office facilities on Nevers, and hangars on Haute-Seine in Picardy. Requisiting those to Defense Authority from Marine would be much more cost-efficient and faster, than building up a new structure from ground up. Anyway, logistics aside - those can be dealt with as soon as I am done here. I'll be ready in a month, where should I report to?
Sincèrement
Division du Train de La Marine Nationale Gauloise, Capitaine de Vaisseau en congé Miroslav de Gobineau.
