Commandant,
A large holographic image of Vaillant sitting on his command chair appeared. We could see the old Kingdom of Gallia emblem on the back of the chair as it was not facing the screen. Suddenly, the chair turned in a fast move towards the luminous screen showing up a determined Vaillant holding a glass of wine in his right hand.
Congratulations for the success of the Division du Train, which alongside Ile de France Shipping managed to supply in time Pamiers and Epinal. Their survival is certainly due to our efforts.
However, we are running out of time now. Our scouts have reported that Akatsuki and Nagazaki have entered into Dauphine. With Pamiers being damaged and unable to hold them, Kusari will likely head to Gap without any difficulty.
I am not going to let them capturing the station that easily. In fact, they'll never do. After all, we need to welcome them properly into Dauphine, otherwise, where are our Gallic manners? I need the Division du Train to start immediately the Operation Fill the Gap.
Your instructions are the following: evacuation of the personal of Gap Station, around 800 people. Our special command Liner Aurora will be deployed for this task. When this first step is complete, and if we do have enough remaining time, the DT Transports must bring to the station the ENGINS NUCLÉAIRES that Ile de France Shipping kindly delivered to us. Make sure the countdown can be activated at distance.
This action won't be decisive, but it'll allow us to buy time.
Bonne chance, Commandant.
Sincèrement
Vaillant greeted with a gesture of the head while the holographic image was disappearing.
Marine Nationale Gauloise, Amiral Pierre Vaillant.
