Good evening Fleet Captain,

One of my scouting detachments was sent over to assist your forces in Bretonia. I was recently informed they were forced to respond to a distress signal in Dublin while on liaison duty at Thames Outpost. Judging by the preliminary reports, the situation is more tenuous than our previous estimations indicated.

As it stands, I have very few combat assets I can extend. The unexpected appearance of Coalition forces warrants a response, however. I am able to detach fleet engineering vessels that have been recently freed up. They will support your operations as needed and deliver a material shipment I have prepared. These are not combat vessels, however, but they should provide much-needed rear-echelon support to your forces. The fleet reconnaissance squadron that responded to your forces' calls in Dublin will be ordered to escort these forces strictly.

Additionally, I have a marine battalion with armoured fighting vehicles currently quelling a prison revolt on Hammersee. If you feel the need I can arrange for them to be deployed. Our current rules of engagement dictate that these must be deployed in a garrison position exclusively.

The Kaiser has need of my forces on the homefront, however. This is the full extent of support I can provide from my own fleet. If you have further needs, you must contact Admiral Kunrad again.

Abmeldung,
Erich von Richter
Konteradmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
