Current intelligence I have on hand suggests Rheinland is facing an increased amount of challenges in the recent times: an uptick in raiding activity, alien sightings, border friction with Liberty.
An increase in activities threatening the integrity and security of Rheinland require adequate response, I henceforth propose hosting weekly military exercises in space superiority fighters and strike craft: it's going to benefit the uptick of new recruits with little combat experience both our organisations have seen post civil war as well as increase overall cohesion between Military and Intelligence involved in policing our House sovereign space.
your proposal has been deemed sound. The Rheinwehr accepts. Within and without we shall secure Rheinland's interests.
Not only those that flocked to either organisation after the Civil War have to benefit from this, but those that were part of it as well. Maybe more so than the new generation. Wounds heal, but scars remain. There have been recent encounters that lacked a certain degree of tact from one side, we disapprove of this and we do not forget. A united Rheinland has no place for loose elements, agitators and similar. As much as struggle and strife may guarantee a required baseline for spine and strength, there is a place and a time for it. In light of this prospect of increasing cohesion we thus suggest to monitor secondary Intelligence personnel a bit closer, i trust that won't pose any issues.
Distractions are not required now, you assessed the situation correctly. If there is additional personnel that wishes to release pent-up anger they are either to improve on their abilitiy to mask their feelings or bring it to future exercises in a more professional manner. The Buro has and sets a standard, one that should be kept all across the board in terms of Intelligence. Similarly the Rheinwehr will monitor secondary fleet members for comparably lamentable conduct.
Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

I resent any attempt of causing disunity, however, I assure you they're separate cases of stray Agents who have felt slightly more independence that they truly have. You, or your subordinates are welcome to report separate cases to Büro that may have been overlooked. Stray individuals will be reminded that an Agent is, first and foremost, bound by iron discipline - and only henceforth, their outstanding authority.
Those that deviate will be determined, monitored, and reminded of this appropriately.
Expanding on my proposition - the first exercise is intended to be hosted on Saturday or Sunday, with the precise timing being decided on at a later date, or privately should you wish it to be that way. I'm content with either option.
the weekend will suffice as a suitable frame of time.
More precise scheduling to be determined once we approach it. Does the Büro already have a preference for any compositions? I propose to either conduct these exercises near the Soltau in Hamburg or the Bayern in Thuringia, away from the usual trade lane traffic. As discussed alongside this matter, my personnel's findings.
Two operatives in particular, one more so than the other, have managed to catch my soldiers' attention. One of them on multiple occasions, you'll find everything you may need attached below. I encourage you to not hesitate pointing out similar behaviour your personnel might encounter. Irrelevant where dissent aimed at Rheinland's unity or reputation stems from - it will be quelled all the same.
Agent Kreutzer's first remark about Cardamine use in public and general conduct stuck out to present Rheinwehr personnel around Freeport 8. They thought it to be nothing more than a single incident, the picture that was painted later does not match this initial assumption.

[18.01.2023 19:38:37] Katerose:von.Kreutzer: Target down

[18.01.2023 19:43:41] Charlie,Jukins: This is a pretty boring party.
[18.01.2023 19:43:53] A/)-Revenant: Indeed.
[18.01.2023 19:43:57] MNS-Amalfi: CO: What can you tell me about Rheinland people, Signora Habermeyer?
[18.01.2023 19:44:25] Katerose:von.Kreutzer: I can tell you
[18.01.2023 19:44:30] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You're free to leave, Jukins... *Sounding somewhat distracted.*
[18.01.2023 19:44:31] Katerose:von.Kreutzer: All people are the same
[18.01.2023 19:44:46] Charlie,Jukins: And miss all this fun? No way.
[18.01.2023 19:44:52] Sundew: The capital ship captains seem to enjoy drinking while sieging.
[18.01.2023 19:44:53] MNS-Amalfi: CO: That is not true - each House is different.
[18.01.2023 19:46:00] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Are rheinland capital ship captains drinking while on duty? Oddly unprofessional.
[18.01.2023 19:46:11] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Ah, ja. The boring 'fun' you just complained about.
[18.01.2023 19:47:42] MNS-Amalfi: CO: Military officers are deprived of any addictive substances while in active duty.
[18.01.2023 19:47:50] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: And what? Nonsensical. If so they are unfit for command.
[18.01.2023 19:49:03] Katerose:von.Kreutzer: Huh? You can freely do what you want on weekend
[18.01.2023 19:49:47] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Now, Rheinland people? A hardy bunch, used to strife and struggle. Proud. But those are generalizations, if anything.

[18.01.2023 19:56:00] Katerose:von.Kreutzer: As I know outcasts DNA is similar to cardamine's
[18.01.2023 19:56:52] Sundew: And human DNA is rather close to that of a pig.

[18.01.2023 20:00:24] Katerose:von.Kreutzer: I was on vacation

[18.01.2023 20:01:47] Katerose:von.Kreutzer: Yup, but I was interested

Same Agent's superior, Isbrjotur, deemed it a wise approach to voice his joy about the means Rheinland's Intelligence and Military had to resort to.
Regrouping at the Bayern led to a somewhat unpleasant conversation between MND and Rheinwehr, one that i left with Voigt in order to proceed with an extended patrol around Frankfurt and Sigma-15. Not without reminding our dear comrades about a few hints towards basic decency. There was little time to dwell on it, as a Daumann employee relayed the position of a Corsair cruiser to all available forces in reach. We followed the signature towards the Konstanz wreck and overwhelmed it there, returning the captured Police pilots and neutralizing the threat that cruiser posed.
Squad Frequency Rheinland Authorities' Frequency
[31.01.2023 00:48:03] Isbrjotur: Not really. [31.01.2023 00:48:22] Isbrjotur: The former Oberkommando was blinded by the lies of Imperial supporters.
[31.01.2023 00:49:00] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: In any case, i'm glad that i don't have to shoot my comrades anymore.
[31.01.2023 00:49:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: The conflict was inevitable. I need not remind everyone present, however, to tread carefully in this topic's regard.
[31.01.2023 00:49:11] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: Even after the victory... it still felt like a defeat.
[31.01.2023 00:49:21] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: There were no winners in this. We all lost. [31.01.2023 00:49:32] Isbrjotur: To be frank.
[31.01.2023 00:49:38] Isbrjotur: I enjoyed killing those fanatics.
[31.01.2023 00:49:38] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: But we'll always stand up again with our spines straight, we always do. [31.01.2023 00:49:45] Isbrjotur: And their calls "for the Emperor".
[31.01.2023 00:50:16] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: Well i didn't like killing my brethren just because they had other views.
[31.01.2023 00:50:22] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: But i was ordered... so i did.
[31.01.2023 00:50:50] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: All of you were, it seems. I was still in my Trainingslager at the time, I've only seen different flags being raised and lower.
[31.01.2023 00:50:53] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: Lowered, even.
[31.01.2023 00:51:08] Isbrjotur: And new shiny uniforms.
[31.01.2023 00:51:35] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: Well... on whoever side we stood. We can agree they have taste.
[31.01.2023 00:52:55] Isbrjotur: Taste in what?
[31.01.2023 00:53:00] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: Fashion
[31.01.2023 00:53:04] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: I'm assuming they were-- yeah.
[31.01.2023 00:53:10] Isbrjotur: *laughs* Nein, not really.
[31.01.2023 00:53:11] Katerose.von.Kreutzer: Is that important for you?
[31.01.2023 00:53:25] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: Is what important to me?
[31.01.2023 00:53:32] Isbrjotur: Fashion.
[31.01.2023 00:53:35] Katerose.von.Kreutzer: A new uniform...
[31.01.2023 00:53:38] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: Nothing can replace the proud flag we saluted for centuries.
[31.01.2023 00:53:47] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: Never claimed... what makes you think that?
[31.01.2023 00:53:57] Isbrjotur: But it got replaced Flieger Voigt.
[31.01.2023 00:54:05] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: Ja... unfortunately so.
[31.01.2023 00:54:07] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I will leave this merry gathering now with a reminder to our article about subversive conduct. I entrust remaining company to
[31.01.2023 00:54:09] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: adhere to it.

[31.01.2023 00:54:32] Isbrjotur: Herzlichen dank.
[31.01.2023 00:54:37] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: I'll come with you.
[31.01.2023 00:54:39] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: As for the rest, i bid you a Gute Nacht.
[31.01.2023 00:54:45] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: You may for a bit.
[31.01.2023 00:54:49] [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad: And safe skies
[31.01.2023 00:54:50] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: I'll see you again, agents. Hopefully.
[31.01.2023 00:54:57] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: I might have a lot to ask. [31.01.2023 00:55:02] 2023-01-31 00:55:01 SMT Traffic control alert: [RM]Lt.Gunter.Kunrad has requested to dock

[31.01.2023 00:56:34] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: I suggest to take it carefully with the MND, Voigt. Their attitude and convictions don't always align all that well with most of
[31.01.2023 00:56:38] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: the Rheinwehr's...
[31.01.2023 00:56:49] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: Is it because they were on the other side of the civil war?
[31.01.2023 00:57:03] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Mainly. Their conduct doesn't help.
[31.01.2023 00:57:36] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: "Enjoyed killing those fanatics." They were your brothers, you arschloch. [31.01.2023 00:57:41] A.Hammond: This is Hammond from Daumann Heavy Constructions, we've got a situation with a Corsair cruiser-class vessel. [31.01.2023 00:57:52] [RM]Fl-Frieda.Voigt.: It's... such a chequered situation.
[31.01.2023 00:58:06] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Right so, he lost all respect i had for hi-... verdammt. [31.01.2023 00:58:08] A.Hammond: The vessel is in Frankfurt, near Planet Holstein.
[31.01.2023 01:02:09] A.Hammond: They will raid and terrorize traffic if left free.
[31.01.2023 01:02:16] A.Hammond: They must abandon that cruiser first.

[31.01.2023 01:04:18] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: It is an enemy of the state in a cruiser within our House. Of course it is to be dismantled.
[31.01.2023 01:04:38] [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer: Voigt - you know the drill. Keep it pinned. Give the heavier weapons openings to hit.

These... Agents, if I may even call them that are a plight, a spit to the face of our determination to cast aside our differences and arms to stop the bloodshed of our own kin. The names will go down to appropriate department and they'll be hounded before the sun sets on Weimar.
We usually deal with our own ourselves, however, should these persist in their delusions - your officers are more than welcome to cast their own judgement on these cadres.
I apologise for these accidents on behalf of Büro and assure you such public conduct nor encouraged nor endorsed.
I suggest for exercises to be held by Soltau, this time; or it'd be a gathering spot from where we may decide on further course and program of the exercise.
