You don't get it, do you? The Chancellor himself just spoke and you're still arguing here?! If you think any of this is counterfeit, you are seriously wrong. I can assure you that if a Rheinland Military Vice Admiral says something, it is not counterfeit. Let alone Chancellor Reinhardt...
I would rethink my situation, if I were you.
Hope you come back to your senses and realise what's happening, Captain. You don't exactly get to be right when you argue with a Vice Admiral, a Fregattenkapitaen, a Fleet Admiral and the Kanzler himself.
And in case you wondered, no. I'm not one of the 'official' military folk. I'm someone just like you, but unlike yourself, I have enough brain cells left in order to judge a situation. I would also never call you 'sir'. You deserve not such respect.
AiRaGE, everyone else here is sticking to their characters, as this is the roleplay forum ... You seem to have
completely missed the whole point of this.
Now if you do not make a bit of effort please, I have been asked to remove you entirely from the thread.
No one actually seems to know who your character is and exactly what he does, and why he would be left
in charge of a Rheinland Battleship, due to the fact your in game behaviour when piloting aforementioned
ship has very little to do with aiding and abetting the RM ... Normally involves a shed load of OORP comm
chatter in system.
Thank you for your time.

[color=#000000]The Gottkanzler himself has spoken to you, surely you must have some reaction in that brain of yours. Stop thinking about yourself, and think of your crew! What do they want? Do you really think they will follow a captain who will lead them to Exile, or do they wish to return home to their famillies?
I'm but a humble pilot, occasionally help out the fist of law whenever it is required, but even i know that, when the Gottkanzler speaks, you obey, and go back home. I advice you would do the same.

Well, now that the airwaves are clear and the nonsense for earlier today is over, maybe these transmissions can be kept within their... Boundaries.
To continue what Admiral Hiltraud has already mentioned, these are the laws of Rheinland, they will not be changed. Though some of you still believe complaining is the better option. Do you believe complaining is the better option when we could have just removed you all? No, we chose not to for our people. These laws are simple to follow and are within reason, follow the laws and you're welcome to continue your usual business in Rheinland. Refuse to, and action will be taken.
This will be my last transmission unless I'm given some reason to send another, don't give me a reason.

Rheinland Military High Command End Message

// You people want to know the real reason why I'm not allowing battleships and cruisers in Rheinland? (And have always been hesitant to...) They make me nervous. More importantly, they are ships of High Command, and it makes no sense for someone who is not part of our command to fly said ship. It makes no sense whatsoever. I've said in the past... If you want a Cruiser, ask me. If you want a battleship... Don't bother. Battleships, in my opinion, should be a rare, majestic sight, and only used as either a show of force or when needed.

We of the Battleship Muellfahrer shall ensure that the word of the Rheinland Military is obeyed! It is not right for military vessels to be allowed to operate within the Rheinland unregulated. Something must be done! Should a law be broken, as dictated by the Gottkanzler, we shall intervene. If it is deemed to be too risky, we shall be sure to report the incident to the military command. Many bunnies shall suffer should the laws not be obeyed, and as such, we of the Muellfahrer recommend that all who enter the Rheinland follow Rheinland law. Rheinland will prevail!

I am very dissapointed in the action of these pilots, as their motives have made us all uneasy. However, I am msot dissapointed in the actions taken by the otehr independant pilots who think it is their right to make accusations under the words of the RM, yet only our officers should be allowed. I am talking about Heinz Schmidt and Claus Fletcher. I would advise them to keep to doing what they do, and leave the true Military pilots to do what we do.
I will be enforcing this new rule with my utmost support.

Sir, I am trully disappointed by the way you took my message. I was merely giving him advice on how to deal with the situation; I never claimed to be one of the 'true' military pilots and I never spoke for them.
It's not what I expected from agreeing with these new laws. Apparently, sir, wether some of us 'independent' military pilots obey your words, does not matter, you still just want us gone, as if we were all the same.
I suggest you re-read my previous message, sir, since I have committed none of the things you accuse me of and take this as unfair towards the 'independents' who are on your side.
Well now it seems that Rheinland once again shoots itself in the foot *laughs* you are just makeing our hessian and bundschuh allies job all the more easy.
The Gottkanzler is apparently becoming paranoid and dellusional and i fully applaud your decision.

To: Kriegsmarine Channel 1, Alleged Personnel
Subject: Military Organisation
If I may, as a humble servant of the Gottkanzler and a pilot in His Kriegsmarine, I would like to offer a small lesson in military organisation I have been teaching children at numerous military academies these past months.
The Gottkanzler is the commander in chief of the Rheinwehr, known to outsiders as the Rheinland Military. The Rheinwehr is split into two divisions, that of the Rheinheer (known to outsiders as the Rheinland Army), Kriegsmarine (known to outsiders as the Rheinland Starfleet).
The Rheinheer is headed by two Generalfeldmarshalls, who command the Northern and Southern Armies. Rheinheer personnel are not commonly seen publically off-planet, except in the cases of joint Rheinheer-Kriegsmarine parades, where the troopships may appear to showcase the glory of the Fatherland and the Gottkanzler.
The Kriegsmarine is headed by two Grosseadmirals, who command the Norhern and Southern Fleets. Our current two Grosseadmirals are Grosseadmiral Krieg and Grosseadmiral Hiltraud Kaiser.
The Rheinheer does not possess any battleships, save for the command ships and flagships RNC Cologne and the RNC Koblenz.
The Kriegsmarine does possess battleships, but they are restricted to those of Admiral rank and above. The most famous among our battleships are the flagships RNC Krieg and RNC Westphalia, though many others, both active and permanently stationed, including some in the New Berlin Special Defensive Fleet, are among our fleet, such as the RNC Westfalen, RNC Brooktorhafen, RNC Altenburg, RNC Watzmann and the RNC Neodonau.
All Kriegsmarine pilots are, by some of our most ancient and foundational regulations, required to present a [RM]- prefix in space callsigns. Rheinheer personnel are required to do the same, but only on planetary operations, and have different regulations regarding space vessels.
Regardless, unless you are a Bureau der Marineintelligence agent or a special, particularily marked case, such as that of the aforementioned Wesley Richter, you will have an [RM]- prefix in your ships callsign. If you do not, and you are not one of the above cases, you are not an officer of the Kriegsmarine.
On the matter of cruisers, current Kriegsmarine protocol dictates only Kapitans and above possess access.
On the matter of gunboats, Korvettekapitans and above have access to gunboats.
On the matter of snub ships, a small amount of ships were sold off during the reign of Kanzler Pryde, but records from that time are still existent and kept in our archives. Nowadays, only specially authorised mercenaries such as a certain ship named after a Bretonian breakfast treat or our own personnel are authorised to use snub ships.
So, if you individuals could provide the Gottkanzler's high servants information about how you had acquired your ships and how these strange protocol breaches have occured, I'm sure He and His servants would be grateful. An independent military is surely impossible, for the Kriegsmarine is all about service under the Gottkanzler, and this is done through His servants.
All Kriegsmarine are under Grosseadmiral Krieg and Grosseadmiral Kaiser's command.
