I will be sincere: cooperation is required, in good faith, of all parties involved. I do not wish to be on bad terms with the Gendarmerie or the Navy, but these last few weeks have been rough for us. We dedicate ourselves to the betterment and good reputation of Gallia, help heal the wounds of the past with the other Houses, but my men are feeling rather tired of the treatment they often receive at home. The Gendarmerie is all smiles when we meet cordially during our mutual patrols, and yet you come to me talking of authority and suspicions.

We ask to be treated as equals, if nothing else. We are not tools to be used and disposed of when it is convenient to you. My men and I ask nothing more to be of service to the Union, but if the laws do not reflect such, then the work of my people is essentially wasted. As I have said however, I am a man of good faith.

Provence is indeed jointly provided after by both the Gallic Union and the Corse, and the Zurich Accord is but one of many interest groups in the sector. Authority wise, which is what seems to be the issue here, we have noticed an influx of Capital vessels travelling through the lane systems, Triumph, Obstinate and even Valor class vessels often flown by the Secondary and Reserve fleets. A recent incident involved a Redemption class battleship threatening to open fire on Admiral Golanski's vessel during his diplomatic visit to Gallia while in visible orbit of Marseille. Tourists were concerned that another conflict was inevitable, and our peacekeepers on hand did what they could to contain the potential violence of the situation, while the Captain of the Council Battleship told us off for being, well, mere Corsicans.

Député, I wish to work with you, I truly do, but if not as friends then at very least as two concerned Nationals that share a devotion for our dear House, Gallia.

Here is my offer:
