My roots are in Bretonia. My opinion reflects that.

But mistakes can cause massive losses to the IMG, if not fatal losses.

Losing the access to Rheinland again would destroy the following:

• Access to Silver, Cobalt, Copper in Omage 7
  
• Loss of access to the ore markets of New Berlin (Beryllium and Niobium)
  
• Another collapse of the Tau 23 Niobium mining (as there is no place to sell it for high revenue)
  

With Dublin operations downed by the Molly insurgents, we would lose our complete ore business.

• Silver: mined in Omega 7 (Rheinland shuts that down)
  
• Cobalt (mined in O7 and transported to Ingolstadt; shut down)
  
• Silver: mined in O7, transported through Rheinland; shut down
  
• Beryllium, mined in Cambridge, sold at Berlin; shut down
  
• Niobium mined in Tau 23, transported to Berlin; shut down
  

So there is only one choice: Neutrality. And I hate it. But there is no alternative.

So I cast my vote:

* Military support for: Neither (remain neutral)

As outlined above this is suicide.


* Political support for the Red Hessian cause: [color=#FF9900]Yes, covertly

We owe them. Let's repay by means that do not make us outlaws in Rheinland in case they are not able to overthrow the House. See below.


* Attempt at brokering a ceasefire and diplomatic resolve of the conflict: Yes

As we cannot become involved militarily (see above), but we cannot just lean back and watch, we should become active in brokering a peace agreement. Our diplomatic position might not be the best after our own Omega 7 conflict, but it's worth a try and it will relieve the pressure on us to pick between impossible choices.


This is what I can think of:

1. Pacify Bretonia by taking the following course of action:

• Offering actively to insert spies into Rheinland
  
• Offering to delay any peace process with the Mollys in Dublin and thus keep them off their throats for a little longer
  
• Offer discreet financial support to the Bretonian War Chest via covert funding
  
• Gathering intelligence on Rheinland troop movements on our trips
  

2. Pacify Rheinland by taking the following course of action:

• Remaining militarily neutral (they should be glad as we have every reason to stike against Rheinland)
  
• Continue to support their economy (Cobalt route to Ingolstadt)
  
• Continue to support their ally Kusari (Silver route from O7 to Narita)
  
• Continuing the arms support for Kusari (Small arms from New Berlin - Akita)
  
• Keeping up the Niobium and Beryllium (mined in Cambridge or Taus) supply runs. We claim it's Bretonian ore.
  

3. Pacify the Hessians by taking the following course of action:

• Grant access to Aland to improve their striking capacities and fasten their ship replacement
  
• Gathering intel for them
  
• Supplying them with goods that they need for their struggles
  
• Rhetorics
  
• Monetary support
  

It's tricky. But not impossible.
