To the many recipients of this message,

*She lowers her head in deep respect*

My name is Adelaide Bellerose, the Current Director of Trading Endeavors in the EFL Oil & Machinery Corporation. To begin, i have some bad news that i would like to point out. Une question angoissante, Council Redemption class battleships where found attacking a installation in the Berry system, opposite Vierzon Mining Facility, an installation of the Gallic Metal Service. My manager of Trade reported this to me immediately, and i felt it necessary to contact you immediately.

Messieurs, I ask that you increase patrols in the Berry system. My division cannot work under such stress. It decreases our efficacité, causing us to work at sub standard quality. A proposition, mais il. As you will already be aware in the Royal Navy, we have already three réquisitionnées "Lynx" fighters for our security division. I would ask for two more, as production has steadily increased, we know we could afford to, but your approval is what counts messieur. We would also ask, *she smiles lightly* effrontément, that you would allow us two "gunboat" class vessels... The shipyards have worked hard to produce this for you, and worked overtime in the hopes that we may acquire our own, with your approval of course. Still, they remain dry-docked unless told otherwise. I will await your verdict on this messieurs, and hope you may allow us. Until then Messieur,

Au Revoir!

Director of Trading Endeavors,

Bonjour ma'am Bellerose,

My name is Aurelia Landreau and I'm Colonel of Marine Royale Gauloise, shortly GRN.
It's surprise, I see The Council "Redemption" deep inside our home. I'm sure, your base will be in safe now. I'm moving my Valor, La France to Languedoc. Valor will be there, because we need Valor in Bretonia too.

About ships,
Well I'm surprised, because you need more Lynx fighters. I thought you will need Cougar bombers against capital ships. I sent order to our constructers and they are constructing your Lynx fighters now.

And about "Perilous" class gunboat. I would like know reason, why EFL Oil & Machinery wants two gunboats. I would like know more about your request because it's something special. We need "Perilous" gunboats in Taus and Bretonia too. But I think we can give you two "Perilous" gunboats. But as I said, I would like know, why do you want them.

Regards, Colonel Landreau.

Colonel,

*she lowers her head in respect*

I am happy to have received such a fast reply. Thank you for moving down to the designated sector. We are happy to see you move in so quickly and efficiently. We feel much safer now.

As for the fighters, our security wing is for the purposes of making sure the convoy moves along smoothly, not to take the target down. If the fighter can keep them occupied whilst the convoy rolls through, then we are happy enough.

The Gunboats will be used very specifically. As the manufacturers of all Royal Navy ships, from the lightest of fighters to the grandest of Battleships, we have worked hard to make the two for our own company. They would only be used for long range convoys, ones that head through the Tau sectors for example. At all other times, you could request them to work as you wish Colonel.

I hope this clears it up a little for you, and we will make sure our engineering department works hard to produce more of the "Valor" class battleships for the front lines. The war is important, and you must have all the supplies you need! Please notify us if you require us to run things to the front lines.

In the meantime, Au Revoir!

Adelaide Bellerose,
Director of Trading Endeavors,

Bonjour ma'am Bellerose,

Well. It's good reason to me, but one thing. Gunboat shouldn't fly into Kusari house space. I can describe it by secure channel if you want. Your gunboats will be prepared on Shipyard in Ile-DeFrance as usuall. I hope, gunboats will help you in Tau systems, where we use them.

Regards, Colonel Landreau.

Council rebels firing upon civilians?

It seems they have utterly forgotten their own goals within their pathetic rebellion. Oh, it's only a matter of time until they collapse, and what joy will that be.

As Colonel Landreau has mentioned, you're allowed to fully arm two gunboats for civil patrols. The furthest you're allowed to use these gunboats will be the Tau systems. I'd hate to hear about the loss of a civilian crew in the middle of a war zone. However... you're free to engage any hostiles that happen to be flying Bretonian flags. Particularly those annoying Privateers I keep hearing about.

You've done the crown well, and as such, you will be rewarded."

Colonel,

I thank you for your generosity. We at EFL will work hard to ensure the engineers work ten fold to replace the ships we will be acquiring from you. I cannot thank you enough.

Prince Joseph DeFrance,

I am honored to have your reply, the royal Prince... I am sorry to have been the bearer of bad news, but to hear your own guarantee reassures all employees. You have my word that the Gunboats will go no further than the taus, but i am curious as to why? The only reason i could think of would be offending the Kusarians, but surely that wouldn't be a problem, non? I will await your answer, my Prince.

Madame Bellerose,

The problem with taking a military class vessel into Kusari space is the fact that it's a military class vessel. While gunboats aren't a major threat, our...friends would think otherwise. It would take days of diplomatic chatter to allow our most prominent transport company to even use gunboat escorts.

With tensions just thinning out between the Kusari Republic and this Kingdom. It would be best to avoid anything that would break what I would declare a shaky relationship.

However, I will plan a visit to Kusari to open the possible discussion of allowing your company to use these vessels in Kusari house space as escorts.

Once I get over their disappointment of the last time I've visited.

Yours Truly,
Joseph DeFrance

I see, Prince Joseph was quick.

I wanted say same thing about our Gunboat in Kusari space. There are problems with Kusari warships in Tau-23. We don't want Kusari warships in our teritory, they don't want our warships in Kusari systems. It's simple *smiles*

Regards Colonel Landreau
