RE: Infiltration.

----->Text only

Sirs, I think that perhaps a great deal of the route information we require can be had by making request of the Bretonian Intelligence Service. As you maybe aware, they have recently ramped up activities against Jerry and may have the very information we would need to pull this off. In addition, I'm sure a Destroyer squadron or two would be happy to make noise in Snowdown at the same time as the RHA/LWB diversion, if those groups choose to help.

Another thing to consider sirs: Exit strategy. Not only for the infiltration team, but for those supplying the diversion as well. If we lose a great many men or ships in this endeavour, even in the rescue of a parliment member's family, then we've made a bad investment towards Bretonia's future. Therefore I urge that a clear plan of withdrawal also be formulated.

For me personally, I have spoken to Mr. Munro, my Engineer on the Bonny Lass, he also serves as co-pilot on the Yvonne Fletcher. We are both with you. CB-4 will be ready to fly. However, Mr. Munro believes that the Bonny Lass herself would make for an extremely effective diversion. My First Mate, Mr. Fraser, does not agree....but he and Munro rarely do. Anyway, an attempted smuggling run by the Lass into Munich would surely draw a great deal of attention away from the Stuttgart area, making the RHA/LWB diversion that much more effective, seeding additional chaos, and helping to insure that the LWB/RHA forces may be able to break away safely. Otto Kriech, the man who was arranging purchase of military equipment for me on Nuremburg in the past, is still sympathetic to the Bretonian cause. I'm sure he would be willing to help, both by bribing docking officials on Nuremburg, and by arranging a "report of smuggler activity" to the RFP. This would cover up his involvement AND insure that at least some attention is focused in the Munich system.
