John answered most of the other points very well, so you can refer to that often.

Also if OSI is banned from Rheinland Space, why should it bother Daumann? Id understand hunting OSI ships within Rheinland Space and its boarders, but anywhere else? a little iffy on that one.
The intention is quite clear, and even if I repeat myself for the third time now, it is only in Daumann's interest to weaken the Red Hessians. By making it generally more difficulty for OSI to move cargo around in Sirius, OSI are receiving heavy repercussions that hurt their trade and thus also indirectly the Red Hessians. Simply a corporate warfare with the goal to weaken ones arch enemy, really. The law enforcement deals with OSI inside the borders, but that is far from effective enough. It boils down to terrorists attacking a country, convicted weapon supplier gets banned and hunted even outside of the country borders. Not hunting them because "why should it bother [the victims]" when the suppliers are not in in the country borders would be fairly illogical.

While the military initially was the only entity that dealt with it, the issue was put into the hands of the Bundestag rather quickly. The Admiral itself can't* put up a law on his own, and with a bit more background thoughts it was rather apparent that the Bundestag was involved in this, even though their messages were transmitted only through the admiral himself in the beginning. How that ties military and corporations together? Obviously military has strong link to politics. Corporate members in high seats are the social elite, and they use their money to convince politicians to root for their interests. A link between corps and politics is established, and thus you have an indirect strong connection between Military actions and corporate interests.
@Gytrash - I don't really want to spend more time repeating myself at all, so just read the posts before. Ah, I'll do it anyway. The bounty is a mere consequence of the events that unfolded. OSI became the enemy, and DHC bounties their enemies. Just as many other factions do. It simply makes your trade a bit more dangerous, which is the intended inRP effect of the bounty. If you dislike that, hire a pack of scouts and escorts that detect/slow the mercenaries.
Regarding the bit about OSI being willing at last to pay the fine: It was far too late, and neither politicians nor admirals like snarky comments or backtalk.
There is more than enough evidence that justifies OSI becoming an enemy of Daumann, and Daumann has taken appropriate steps to combat these enemies.
I'll eject from the Zonerzonerzoner until a new point comes up that hasn't already been answered thrice.
