The usual transmission is interrupted suddenly by a female voice.
Salutations, comrades. This is an important broadcast from der Roten Hessen Armee kommandatur. Flotte Kapitan Meisnerr is now speaking.
A short version of the hymn of Rheinland can be heard, and a male voice then takes over.
Fellow brothers in arms. I come to you bearing great news. Our movement is flourishing, new recruits join our ranks at a constant pace and old veterans, either formerly captured or temporarily incapacitated, return twice as strong to the frontline to help us out in our righteous fight. The Red Hessian Army cannot be overpowered by a problem as trivial as lack of equipment or loss of high ranking officers, as we are more than just an army! We are an ideal.
However an ideal is not a part time job. Kapitan Egon, as brilliant a tactician and commander as he is, can no longer provide us with his wisdom. He has regrettably decided to step down from his position, and as his last standing order he has promoted me to the rank of Flotte Kapitan der Armee.
As the new kommandant I realise that along with a change in command, there is needed a change in methods in order to maximise effectiveness. In our case it will be a change in focus. The Rheinland Military is losing it's grip, and we must now steady ourselves on the ever growing Corsair threat that is encroaching on our territory. Our first task is to take back Omega-5 by all means necessary. There will be plenty of battles to come, plenty of fights to win. I will not lie, it will not be easy but as usual we will continue to push on through, unrelenting and unstoppable as we are.
Today we serve as the defenders of the true Rheinland ideal. We are all aware of the threat of aliens and self conscious machines and terrorists in our homeland. No matter what, we must concern ourselves with the elimination of enemies to the fatherland first and foremost, in places where the measly Military cannot get to, but where we thrive and triumph time and again.
No matter what, remember this: We are the Red Hessians. There can be no failure for us, only victory.
The hymn of Rheinland fades in as the voice stops. Shortly after, the regular transmission is restored.
