Suspicious Military Actions
Responding to an emergency call I deployed into Hudson system. There, I encountered an entire Military battlegroup including a Bismarck and other heavy assets sitting idly in front of the Hamburg Jump Gate while a large battle between Liberty Navy, Liberty Security Force, Auxesia versus Unioners, Liberty Rogues and the Order was taking place just 8-9K away. Here is a short analysis of what transpired:
Despite the fight taking place well within Rheinland territory our Military did not engage the hostiles.
I requested multiple times to be invited into the shared communications of our forces but all my requests were ignored as well as the invitations I sent.
Eventually U-101 arrived and after I provided a sitrep we attacked the enemies of Rheinland. In all cases the Military remained uninvolved and did not aid us.
What is even more concerning and suspicious is that Vizeadmiral Kreuzer ordered the Liberty forces to disengage and return to their side of Hudson. In unison, Gunda Riehl of the Unioners also asked the same. That would have resulted in BDM ships being overwhelmed and destroyed while Rheinland's enemies escaping intact. Fortunately for us, the Admiral of the 5th Fleet was well-aware of the treaty and rebuffed Kreuzer's order.
Quote:[RM]RWK-Elbe: Kreuzer: This is Vizeadmiral Reinhold Kreuzer speaking to the Liberty forces, return to your side of the zone. UN|Gunda,Riehl: Riehl: Wait - did the Liberty navy cross into Rheinland territory? [RM]RWK-Falkengraf: All ships, all callsigns are hereby notified to exit the Rheinland zone of Hudson with immediate effect. No exceptions. 5th|Sophia.Cleveland: By the Peace Treaty we are allowed to enter the Rheinland side while we are fighting, when the fight started on the Liberty side.
During a critical moment an Order Battlecruiser entered the fray and from the dialogue it was revealed that the Unioners have cooperated and assisted the terrorist organization known as The Order in the past.
Quote:CV-Selket: Webb: "This is the Selket, moving in to provide aid to the Unioners." UN|Gunda,Riehl: Riehl: Good to have you with us CV-Selket: Webb: "It's a pleasure Riehl, you've assisted us, now it's time to return the favour."
The Vizeadmiral ordered the BDM personnel multiple times to withdraw immediately and not engage the enemies of Rheinland. Of course the order was ignored.
Quote:[RM]RWK-Falkengraf: E: Lichthammer, get your men out of there and into the cordon. [RM]RWK-Elbe: Kreuzer: I repeat, to all Rheinland forces disengage and join the primary fleet now! UN|Gunda,Riehl: Riehl: Alright, we'll return to to the cordon. [RM]RWK-Elbe: Kreuzer: Agenten last time, disengage now! BDM|U-101: Agents, carry on your fire! Take these unioners out!
Fortunately our forces fought valiantly and Rheinland's enemies were scattered and defeated. The Military's sole explanation for this conduct was that their battlegroup was maintaining a cordon around the Jump Gate in order to protect Hamburg system.
This however makes no sense since it is well-known that the unlawfuls use jump hole anomalies in order to enter Hamburg. It also does not explain why they refused to defend the Rheinland territory in Hudson, why they could not send a portion of their powerful battlegroup to aid us in a battle that was raging just a few K away, why they ordered the Liberty forces to stop fighting the Unioners and leave, and finally why they did not allow me to enter their communications in order to coordinate more efficiently.
It is not the first time Vizeadmiral Kreuzer's name crosses my desk. A few weeks ago we caught him disabling trade lanes in order to slow us down however we decided not to pursue the matter any further.
After the fight, I was contacted privately by Lina Koch, a Flieger of Rheinland Military. In case you find it interesting enough, I am attaching the conversation I had with her.
BDM|B-67: Alright. This place is private enough. Lina.Koch: So, what is going on here? BDM|B-67: We can talk here. Lina.Koch: Fine enough. BDM|B-67: Be more specific Private Koch Lina.Koch: Liberty opened fire on Rheinland vessels? Lina.Koch: That doesnt make any sense Lina.Koch: They are busy with Gallia. Lina.Koch: Why would they open fire here? Lina.Koch: And what have Unioners to do with this? Lina.Koch: What happened at Atka? BDM|B-67: Thank you for your assistance Engel, 101 BDM|B-67: I will handle this myself Lina.Koch: The high command of the Military here is secretive.. BDM|U-101: You don't say. Lina.Koch: And BDM seems to have another clear picture here. Lina.Koch: I just dont get why Liberty opens fire, there were reports of a Schwadron fighting together with Unioners. BDM|B-67: It was a large fight between Unioner and Rogue forces against Liberty and Auxesia Lina.Koch: Im relatively new to the Military I admit, just gratuadet from the Akademie 1 year ago. Lina.Koch: Hm... BDM|B-67: The fight took place in our side of the system. As it fell under our jurisdiction, BDM engaged. BDM|B-67: However [RM] refused to engage, remaining passive and did not assist us. BDM|B-67: That's the story, Flieger Lina.Koch: Yes, I saw that got ordered to standby even. Lina.Koch: But also heard stories where some militaries fought with Unioners together. Lina.Koch: Are these rumors true? Lina.Koch: Like are there internal conflicts? BDM|B-67: As far as I know they are just rumors spread by the Unioners to alienate the BDM from the RM. Lina.Koch: Hm... Lina.Koch: I just know what I will do, gaining a view on the current affairs in the Military Lina.Koch: Something is really wrong. Lina.Koch: Like a conspiracy almost... BDM|B-67: Perhaps you know something that we do not? BDM|B-67: Perhaps there is something you want to share with me? Lina.Koch: I dont hide anything BDM... but others do. Lina.Koch: And internal struggles are not something new for Rheinland. BDM|B-67: So what do you know? BDM|B-67: I cannot help if you don't share with me the information you have. Lina.Koch: Rumors from other Fliegers that there were fights where Military fought together with Unioners. Lina.Koch: In Bering I would assume Lina.Koch: sadly I dont have any proofs Lina.Koch: But the situation from today concerns me. Lina.Koch: That they could be true. Lina.Koch: I wish I would know more you know... Lina.Koch: But just know its rumors and concerns BDM|B-67: The Intelligence Agency of Rheinland is responsible for ensuring that no traitors are working within our midst. Lina.Koch: I got actually some spare time from the northeastern front. BDM|B-67: Follow me Lina.Koch: Alles klar Lina.Koch: Hm, did I got myself into trouble now? Lina.Koch: For being curious? BDM|B-67: So I was saying BDM|B-67: That we are responsible for this kind of task. Lina.Koch: Indeed thats what you are, thats why I hoped you know more about possile traitors in the military working with terrorists like Unioners. BDM|B-67: Even if the Buro knows a few things BDM|B-67: It is not allowed to be shared with Fliegers of the secondary Military fleets. BDM|B-67: I am not sure what you are trying to extract from this meeting. But it looks like you have nothing interesting. BDM|B-67: Follow your commanders' orders. Lina.Koch: I just got questions... because Im worried. BDM|B-67: If you believe they are breaking the law, report them to me. BDM|B-67: Only with proof we can act and root out the traitors. Lina.Koch: Naturlich... I will keep my eyes open for now. But only now I just can tell the rumors Ive heard. Lina.Koch: Apologies to bother you, that you thought I would know something improtant... Lina.Koch: Ach herrje... Lina.Koch: Maybe I could sign up for patrol groups in the north western territories maybe then I can see any weird happenings. BDM|B-67: Sign up where you want to be. Where you want to fight. BDM|B-67: If you want your job to be rooting out traitors, then you need to join the Buro. Lina.Koch: Hm, I guess you only follow the Regeln... so I will fly to Hamburg for now. Lina.Koch: Sorry to bother you. Lina.Koch: I dont think Im well made for the special forces of Rheinland... Lina.Koch: Im just a rookie... Lina.Koch: Auf wiedersehen. BDM|B-67: Auf Wiedersehen
This is a Priority-level report and thus instructions are requested by the Oberkommando on how to further proceed in regards to these developments.
