To: Parisian Assembly, Fleet Admiral of the CDF || From: Kusarian Shogunate

[Empire of Kusari]

New Tokyo system, House Kusari, early night of the 21th of December, 827 A.S

Foreign Affairs Minister- Toshinori Kojirou

To the esteemed Nathan de Montfort of the Parisian Assembly.

Please excuse the rather harsh wording our dear Shogun utilizes. A man of the military is only to an extent a man of diplomacy.
Yamato-sama is a great tactician and the Naval Forces stand behind his and the Shogunate's experiences of the Nomad War, the Tau Campaign and so on. Despite the hostilities between our people, it would be of good advice not to underestimate their tactical knowledge. The Emperor's Fangs did not reach out to Gallia in full strength and ferocity.

Discussing the why and how the Shogunate decides tactical moves should be of no interest to our both sides right now though. This war raged for as long as it can without inflicting heavy damage to either civil population, mostly through war time economy or through other variables.
Civilian casualties are inevitable but should be kept to an absolute minimum. The Reformed Empire of Kusari is not afraid of the Gallic Navy or its citizens, it has come through popular vote among the civil diet that the war pushed by the Shogunate and Emperor did well enough with its intended goals and symbolic value to come to an end here.

This is a mark of no return, if we do not come to a peaceful conclusion of this conflict soon, a war - dragging one, but most likely both sides to the very ground - appears inevitable. It is no choice of fear but a choice of wisdom. A choice to avoid Gallic and Kusarian citizens live in fear and despair from a foreign enemy or their own merciless never-do-wells within their borders.

Your request for a personal guard up to Misaki Station is deemed acceptable. A small fighter squadron alongside two Gunboats should suffice, correct?
We are no fools to inflict harm to diplomats nor should any outsider have knowledge about the conference being held at Misaki.
I look forward to this turning point in history and will attend the conference myself.

With cordial regards,
Toshinori Kojirou
Minister of Foreign Affairs
