PRIORITY: [color=#FF0000]High ENCRYPTION:Medium IDENTIFICATION:Oberst Fritz Schulz SOURCE:Nibelung Polizei Plaza, Planet New Berlin SUBJECT:Violations of the Rheinland laws
My name is Fritz Schulz, Oberst of the Rheinland Bundespolizei and I have been elected to bring two violations of the Rheinland laws to your attention.
- The first one is a Border World ship, caught by one of our Sondereinsatz piloten in Hamburg with a full load of Copper Ore. The SEK-Pilot wasn't able to contact the transport, because he was delegated to fight against numerous hessian ships in Omega-7 at this moment.
But the Rheinland Bundespolizei is entirely aware of the copper ore need in Liberty.
- The second one is another, listed, violation of a Bowex-transport, which results officially in violation of the Rheinland shipping regulations and the orders given by law-enforcement authorities' representatives. The reporting freelancer was, as he told the transport, contracted with the Rheinland Military and the said transport refused to drop his cargo.
So we've a possible violation of the Rheinland-Liberty-Embargo and a proven violation of the Rheinland shipping regulations by two of your ships.
Before I'll forward the first incident to the Rheinland Military leadership, I would like to know the reason for these violations.
I'm sure we'll find a peaceful solution for this problems.

Greetings, Oberst Fritz Schulz
First let me apologise for the gross violations against your laws that have been committed against you and your house laws. I must inform you that the captain of the BES-Bonny.Lass has had a severe reprimand in his permanent record, the captain of The. Lancaster has been severely punished just let say he won't be sitting any time soon.
However I have found some disturbing evidence thanks to you and your agents that prove that Rheinland is not only supplying but allowing two Kusari companies purchases of the military vehicles that Bretonia has been so far been forbidden to transport and supply, the Bretonian Armed Force personal that are stationed on Planet Leeds and Planet Harris can defend sovereign Bretonia territory with their lives , repel and save any more Bretonian people being placed under Kusarian occupation.
Look at the civilian cost of the unlawful occupation of Stokes and Glasgow who to this very day are being threaten with being extermination by the near by Battleship Nagasaki who will open fire at the faintest sign of any revolution aboard the station. Nothing in war constitutes the slaughtering of the innocent civilians and their families that to this very day have been at the forefront of my predecessors and my thoughts and actions. If you want to see all the names of them staring at you in black marble and gold engraving that poses a quite sombre attitude, then I must cordially invite you to see the memorial aboard BES-Victoria I.
To find out the Rheinland Government is helping Kusari sickens me to the core not only have you and your government assisted indirectly Kusari attacks on Bretonia's Military positions but you have helped a renewed attack against Bretonian supply lines in the Taus which need I remind you are vital for the production of Super Alloy which again need I remind you is responsible for over 70% of the Military Vehicles external frame and the printed circuit boards, but also lead to more attacks in Dublin which directly decreases Bretonia's Gold export levels which leads to less gold available for the vital resistors on the military . One must consider whether you can afford to go with out as if you, the Rheinland Government or the Rheinland Military do not repeal this insane, unjust law then that is exactly what would happen .
I would immediately redirect all the excess alloy to Liberty as I will not allow Bretonia to indirectly aid the imperialistic dogs that are Kusari and I am sure that Her majesty the Queen, BMM, the Bretonian people, the Armed Forces, the BPA and Planetform would be most eager to see this document and I am also sure that Liberty would also not be happy to see that Kusari collaborating with you either. Also if I am forced to do this unpleasant act all Rheinland Vessel will be expelled and prohibited from docking on Lancaster and Scarborough.
However I hope I do not have to resort to the aforementioned sanctions that trust me I will pursue if your response is demand unsatisfactory.

Sehr geehrter Director Adama,
at first I want to thank you for your respond.
I would like to inform you, that I don't really care about foreign policy. (Vell... I do, but it's out of my zone of influence) It's more task of the Rheinwehr and the Rheinland Bundestag. My task is the compliance of the Rheinland laws and the dealing with violations of it. So I'm not a diplomat, but I'll choose my words wisely and prudently.
The Laws of Rheinland are for everyone equal. An apology and reprimands might be a good start, but the BES-Bonny.Lass and The.Lancaster (as I read the current captain is suspended, but the violation reflects to the callsign) won't be able to enter Rheinland again, until they pay their fines. I regret you couldn't tell me a reason for their violations, only your disciplinary measures, so I have to think they will violate our laws again.
Now to the BES-Cook, you were right, I have no evidence of an embargo break. But you also didn't told me, what did in Hamburg with that copper. Only what he could have done. And after the last Bowex ship, which has broken the embargo, we won't wait until someone breaks it again, this was the reason I contacted you.
And I hope you learned from it. A new embargo break in Hamburg, or at least an indication for it, could result in a revoked shipping access for all Bowex affiliated trading ships.
But this would be the last step I want to make. Instead I would like to help you to get every entry out of the Rheinland criminal database, which cast a poor light on you. If you're willing to comply, I'll send you a list of all listed violations of Bowex in Rheinland.

Greetings
I must apologise for expressing my distaste against finding out that Rheinland has chosen a side in the tau war. I of course understand that you do not care or care for little of international diplomacy seeing as your mandate is Rheinland internal security.
Yes I also would like to take you up on your offer of a full list of all Bowex ships that have reportedly broken your laws.
I again reiterate my distaste for hearing about all the violations at Borderworlds Exports. I regard all law violators as disgusting individuals that should be brought to justice regardless of affiliation. Therefore I have order both of them to pay the outstanding fines. I also am ordering the captain of the affiliate of The. Lancaster to report to you as hacking in to the docking main frame would classify as a matter of national security.
However let me explain that I can not control the Bowex affiliate members as they are not in minimal contact with me however they do have a tri-annual conference therefore I am going to raise the issue in the next meeting which will be in a weeks time.
Now regarding the case of BES- Bonny.Lass, I have become suspect of the evidence namely due to the black box of the BES-Bonny Lass has shown that to use the words of your agent 'I chased it all the way into New Berlin and implored it to return to Munich.' The following images show that this statement is incorrect.
Also I am half the mind to report your agent to the Bretonian Armed Forces as he destroyed the BES-Bonny Lass in Omega 3, which need I remind you is Bretonian sovereign space which according to the omega treaty Rheinland recognises as such. Therefore your agent acted outside Rheinland jurisdiction and as such a message should have been sent to me before the vessels destruction so that I can ensure that this shall not happen again.
Need I remind you that it was the Bretonian Armed Forces and Liberty Navy fault, Bowex was NOT responsible for the heinous act sharing of technology. Bowex has also attempted negotiation for resumption of the goods in question. However Rheinland left the negotiations hanging therefore it seems that you and Rheinland seems contempt to stay in bed with Kusari.
Therefore it seems that words will to use a well known Bretonian saying 'not cut the muster'. Your threat against the Bretonian merchant navy proves exactly my point. However I would like to let you know I will be contacting the Bretonian High Court about your agent who conducted illegal activates in Bretonian space.
Also your response is pushing my hand do not risk ruining your economy over this issue therefore to show how serious this issue is, I am in the process of stopping all super alloy exports to Rheinland as I will not support Kusari's war effort which unfortunately I am doing if I continue to allow super alloy to be exported to Rheinland. However I hope this will be the last economic sanction I need to issue against you and Rheinland.

Sehr geehrter Director Adama,
I'm delighted you take up my offer about the listed Bowex violations. I've delegated the administrator of the Rheinland criminal database to forward a list to this channel.
Unfortunaly it seems you misinterpreted my statement about the Kusari shipping permission. Rheinland didn't choose a side in the tau conflict. All I wanted to say, is, that if someone violates his contract, it'll result in further sanctions about it. As I said I don't care about diplomacy, it didn't mean, it's all the same to me. Rather it should reflect I don't look at the person, who violates the laws, instead I look at the violation itself. Regarding this, we were on the verge of suspending the Kusari shipping rights in Rheinland.
As I said, Rheinland will stay neutral. And I hope the Kindom of Bretonia will also do it. And of course we're not willing to hand out at least a small ton of super alloy to Kusari, because we need it for our own war.
According to you're counter-evidence about the BES-Bonny.Lass, I can't see a statement, which results in a contradiction with his report. The freelancer said, he was chasing the ship till New Berlin, your evidence shows the New Berlin trade lane between Bonn and the Stuttgart gate. He also said, he started in Munich, which is, as far as I know, the common place, where our military vehicles would be purchased. If the startpoint wasn't in Munich, I would like to have the undocking log of the ship.
I've also to note, it wasn't the same freelancer, who followed the captain of your ship into Omega-3. But if there was really an attack, and you've an valid evidence about it. Please forward it to the Rheinland Military in a separated channel. You could also show it to me, and I'll have a talk to the group to avoid these incidents next time.
Now to the weapon exchange programm between the Armed Force and the Libertonians:
If you consider the whole as a chain, it would look like this:
[color=#33CC00]Rheinland -> [color=#FFFFFF]Bowex/[Convoy] -> Bretonia Armed Force -> Liberty Navy
Based on this, it was the easiest way to avoid a possible delivery of our military weapons to the Liberty Navy by removing the first link.
And this was also the reason, why I considered firstly to revoke the contract of the [Convoy] merchant navy group. But after an investigation about them, I'm now aware, they are not longer direct affiliated with the Border World Export. Maybe the update of the transmission reaches you after itself arrived.

By signing this terms and agreements you acknowledge that if you shall commit any crimes as stated by said laws. You will pay said fines and/or legal costs on you own, Bowex shall not be liable for covering any cost incurred, due to your negligence .

Sehr geehrter Director Adama.
Even if those ships have specific contracts made with the Bowex) company, they are still subjected to the Rheinland Law.
Any deal, contract or term the captains of above mentioned vessels signed with the Bowex) leadership are not a matter related to Rheinland or its Law. Said Vessels, while using Bowex transmitters and identification papers, have been caught in Rheinland in violation of the Law itself.
Quote:§2.6.1. Any of aforementioned crimes if performed by employees of a corporation are a subject for multiplied fines or sanctions against the whole corporation.
We also would like to remind you, that even in presence of those deals with said captains, the Bowex leadership is still responsible for every action that hired vessels commit in Rheinland Space.
We are also sure that, later one, you will manage to contact those captains and eventually gets refounded by the loss related to the payment of the fine.

Dear Rheinland Law Enforcement Agents.
I hope all is well with you and Rheinland its self. Now I can completely understand that the Laws have to be as fair and subjective to every one which I believe is what you are striving to achieve with these laws, which I do support and have supported in the past.
Now I have been in discussion with the Board of Directors and my legal team and this is what we have decided upon
Quote:In efforts to increase positive and fruitful relationship with Rheinland, Borderworlds Exports shall pay the full sum of 35.000.000 Mio Sc, also Borderworlds Exports shall rescinded its earlier decision to embargo Super Alloy in return Rheinland shall either allow Borderworlds Exports to legally transport Military Vehicles in which Borderworlds Exports shall pay a fixed sum of 10 Million Credits per month for this privilege OR Rheinland stops exporting Military Vehicles to Kusari .
Hopefully this shall satisfy your requirements.
Yours
Liam Adama
