Konnichiwa, officers!
I am Katsu Mori, So-Honbucho of the Hogosha's Black Dragons Society. We deem ourselves as the 'unofficial' protectors of Kusari, but today we could not have won the prolonged battle with the Blood Dragons without your timely arrival. I dare say our joint forces managed to save Kyushu from a Blood Dragon capital ship incursion!
Enough with the flattery though, this message has another purpose. Although I have not seen police officers, who display more firepower than the Naval Forces, I was pleased you were there. However, have in mind for our next meetings that, both in massive fights and in the middle of diplomatic conversations, the Hogosha are and will remain separated from the Kusari police department. In reality this goes for any other lawful faction with which we interact. We have our own ways and we can be judged only by certain members of the KNF admiralty and the new Council of the Republic.
Even then, the Hogosha retain there independence to a certain extent...the borders of which extent one of your captains crossed today. I can understand ignoring my words of advice in tense battle conditions, but the leading KPD officer of today's brawl had the nerve of opposing my order towards my own men, which lead to catastrophic consequences for the BDS wing of the squadron.
From now on, when we ally against a common enemy and we communicate on the same frequency channel, please refrain from issuing any orders to my subordinates. I also disagree with the common notion that the fact that you are permitted access to a destroyer-class capital ship makes you a good battlefield tactician. In
today's engagement your captain's decisions proved my thesis again.
At any rate, I am glad that that there are still (weirdly resourceful) people that can protect the nation of Kusari when the naval forces are not around. I look forward to our next meeting, sayonara...

Konnichiwa Officers,
I wish to make a statement in response to Katsu Mori who has tried so well to destroy my families honor.
Firstly, Let me make it clear that I felt both the KPD, KSP and the Hoghosha worked together incredibly well. It is no mean feat for three separate groups to work together as a pack and do so well to take down a various group of not only Capital ships, but also Fighters and Bombers. It is a sign of great success for our ancestors to have created such strong ties between our Factions.
However I believe that you made a rash decision in the battle that cost you dearly. During the Battle my ship received repeated bombardments from ALL Opposing ships, That being 2 Cruisers, 2 Gunboats, 2 VHF Class Fighters and 1 Bomber. During this time I made repeated calls for assistance in drawing fire to allow me to make much needed repairs to my ship. Even without this assistance I still managed to take down a large amount of their force.
During the battle, the KPD, Lead by Me in this instance, was fighting against the last gunboat (after finishing off the previous one). You decided that instead of working together to defeat the invading fleet that you would call your fighter to address another fighter on your six.
In terms of Tactical warfare drawing a Fighter off of a much needed target (Bomber) to assist against a target which poses a MUCH lower threat to a Capital Vessel Is not only a mistake, It borders on Ludicrous. Please do not doubt my tactical knowledge, It has kept me alive to this day and is the very reason I am allowed to captain a vessel such as a Destroyer.
However, I will agree with your statement, I will not issue advice to your captains during a warfare situation.
I hereby ask that the KPD take no action in this matter, to do otherwise would utter an age of tactical defeats.

Dear captain of the "Hatsushimo", I feel the need to add some clarification to your statement. Most likely because you were in the very heat of the battle, you misunderstood or completely missed the moment when I ordered all Hogosha fighters to counter the enemy bombers, thus giving you breathing space for your engagement with the enemy battleships. I was well aware of your "calls for assistance" and appropriate assistance was provided in due time; even you could not deny this.
As to my own requests of help. I did not differ from the the course of our squadron, nor did I switched the main target, that being the last gunboat. I was however, at the very end of the pack and I was targeted by 1 bomber and 2 very heavy fighters ever since we left the C4 sector and began the pursuit. It was then when I firstly called for help. By the time we reached the adjacent sector, the "Buuru" had reached its limit. Now I have no particular comment on your decision to chase a single gunboat with a pack consisting of 1 destroyer, 3 gunboats, and 2 fighters, but after I saw that no cover fire was going to be provided for me, it was then I called for help my men.
Mind you, I am not the man who enjoys explaining his actions to others and you will surely never witness anything like this again. Right now I see it fit that I must explain the current misunderstanding between our groups. I also have enough gun-cam photos to cover your desk with evidence of what I just claimed, if for some reason you doubt my words or authority. Fighting along your side was a pleasure, Odecki-san, I would like our relations to remain friendly and clear. I presume you want the same, hai?

Hai, Captain Mori I would like nothing less than full alliance in the removal of piracy in Kusari Space. Maybe I was a tad too hasty in trying to polish off the capital ships however I do not understand your reason for falling behind.
Maybe I can suggest both the Hogosha, The Kusari State Police and the KPD Get together and practise some battle tactics, I'm sure if we understand how the other fights then we can prosper in our battle against Piracy.
ID:So-Honbucho, Katsu Mori Subject: Plausible alliance Beginning transmission...
I am tempted by your proposal captain, but I am inclined to deny it on several grounds, one of which is blandly obvious. First of all, we the Hogosha have our own tactics and fighting procedure, which we share with no one. The second one is the simple fact that the relationship between the Hogosha and the Kusari police and navy forces is a covert one...of a very subtle nature. Mind you, only specific authorities have access to this transmission right now. If this information is to slip out to the public, who knows what might happen....
However, the Black Dragons of Kusari have other plans for an organized event, which might attract several factions, including yours. I am talking about a tournament of sorts.. but more on this matter will be revealed on other comm frequencies in the near future. For now I have to attend to a lot of paperwork. I believe we sorted our confusion, Odecki-san. Until we meet again on the battlefield, sayonara!
