Two Admirals' Meeting

[Val]

Vaillant smiled while taking a glass of wine as well.

"The control of Tau-44 ended in a disaster for our forces with the unexpected defection of the Oubli, four years ago already. If your sources are correct, the ship might be hiding there, enjoying the chaos created by 'Orange Hammer.' However, a military expedition there would be a waste of our already limited resources with minimum gain. Most of our assets are exhausted and in dire need to be repaired and reinforced after the bloody conflict with Kusari.

The only gain we could have is a direct access to Roussillon, but the Bretonia matter remains, that is why we should play carefuly for now."

Pierre put his glass of wine on the table and glanced seriously on Lusignan.

"The failure of the Office of Confederal Intelligence was remarkable. You must know they used to be composed a lot of former Council personnel. The same people who miserably failed to conduct a successful strike on Issoudun Drydock few months before the fall of the Kingdom and which resulted in the Council disaster in Roussillon.

On the other hand, the Royal Intelligence demonstrated its great abilities. Nevertheless, that's also them who built the adapted version of the Warwolf gun on our Triumph cruisers. Nobody is pure in these times I believe. Gallia lost too many of its great men already. I will accept your request, Amiral."
