[color=#FF0000][font=licida sans console][color=#FFFFFF]Konnichiwa dear Hessians, I am contacting you because I have heard some terrible news. The war in the Omegas doesn't seem to be going too well as the Corsairs have captured Casablanca base. I am here with the offer of assistance, the Montoya clan wants to lend the Hessians some assistance against these brutes as they are our common enemies but first, I'd like to hear your response to this offer before I proceed any further.

[color=#FFDD77]Ach ja, sehr gut to hear of you mein Kamerad. Us and our men already had die Ehre of fighting together in Omicron Hessler, I am sure you will remember.

While this should be taken as less of a formal statement, I believe that given this short yet violent history we share it should come as no surprise if we were able to permit your Schlachtschiff to operate from one of our Reich's installations, specifically Freital, the location of which you are certainly aware of at this time.

I must say however that things do not look as grim on the whole Front, and while we did suffer a loss with Casablanca, the Krieg has reached a stage of absolute brutality we have not been witness to before. The future, mein Kamerad, is what we need to set our eyes on. The loss of one station is negligible, and the Corsairs may have their victory there for now. But when the tables turn mein Kamerad - and they will turn as sure as sunrise follows the dark night -, it will be time for our own Sieg.

But at this time we will focus on slaughtering the herd of Bulls, as you and I have done together in that one of many Schlachten in their heart of darkness. Given the excellent performance of yours I bore witness to, wäre es mir eine Ehre to fight with you again, Seite an Seite.

Though before we cross lines that have not been drawn clear, I must ask you this, from Soldat zu Soldat:

Even if the Bulls are our common enemies, and even if both your and my leaders are well-aware of the Revolutionary Congress having brought us closer to situations that would allow mutual and direct support such as this one you propose mein Kamerad, I must assume that there is other motivation behind your choice of course, a driving force that led you to the front of our own Krieg, and away from the one in your own Reich.

Sage mir, mein Kamerad, warum du wirklich hier bist - as the Dragons have a reputation of being men of Ehre, noble and just, and they never do things without thought, and much less without a plan.

Respektvoll,

I'm glad that you responded so fast and I will reveal to you my secret motive. Some time ago we came across a Corsair band which insulted my family's honor and managed to get away with it. Recently, I received information that this band was sighted in the Hessian frontlines so I came here to bring justice and restore my family's honor.

After revealing this to you, I expect you to keep it to yourself.

If you decide to accept our offer of assistance, I will immidiately set course to Hessian territory with the flagship and a Katana wing ready to assist you. Hirobito out.

[color=#FFDD77]Ich verstehe, mein Freund. I will keep it to myself. You have my Ehrenwort as a Soldat for that.

So come to Freital, and let us continue waging this Krieg als Waffenbrüder, Seite an Seite, so that you may restore your family's honor and our enemies can tremble as they see not just the Lion at the door, but also hear a mighty Dragon's roar. Es wäre mir eine Ehre to fight together again, ja.

Just mind, our culture is a different one, and many things you may see or hear when you set foot aboard this little part of our Reich may seem strange, if not offending. Know that it wouldn't have been any different were a Hessian to set foot aboard Kyoto. And remember, nothing earns trust of our men better than to conquer together and following that up with lots of Bier. Bier, and hopefully soon, Sake.

Good luck on your journey here, and Heil Hessler.

Respektvoll,
