Ryo smiled and looked at the Bretonians, looking them in their eyes to see this shift between the two services of the Kingdom.

Gentlemen, as you know, we are governed by the United Nations Charter and our mandate is to maintain friendly relations with our neighbours unless they are threatening the lives of Civilians, the development of the area or are a direct threat to the Republic's survival and ideals. Our affairs with the Gauls are mostly on a somewhat economic level and that is the standard template with any political entity. Now, if the Kingdom would agree to make some more economical incentives towards the industries of Crayter, to its merchant fleet and be able to provide a free market where the Crayterian goods can be sold, I am sure that would make our ties even closer to the Kingdom than anything else. Despite our years of war, the Republic is only meant as a safe place for everyone who wishes to start a new and to follow the old directives of the United Nation, before the Great Space War." he continued to smile and eye Steiner "I think that our best bet if we would have our CIS and your BIS coordinate some actions to gather more information regarding the Auxesia. Is best to know more before we openly move toward them. We would need to discuss further details if this is agreed, for the BIS to be stationed on one of our Islands but I have to give you a warning that our security is pretty tight." he moved to the Horatio "Sir, as I stated earlier on, ships are not really the issue and also I would like to mention that our ships are somewhat different and any changes would require lots of training, is the manpower and Crayterian War Doctrine is a bit different than the normal Sirian houses, plus your proposal would be a bit awkward as in our Nation, everyone who serves under a crayterian service branch, becomes enlisted as a citizen. That is our Constitution and that is what determines our soldiers to give their best. If we would accept bretonian soldiers to work in our armed forces, they would automatically become Crayterian Citizens, subject to all the regulations which come with that title."

He stopped for a moment, took a small breath and continued "I propose something else and I think that we may find common ground. There are several entities which are becoming a problem for both of our nations, for the great Bretonian Kingdom and for our Republic. We once worked together very closely and our people have bled for the ideals of the Bretonian society. I believe we can become once more close allies and you have seen that we are not afraid to fight for our allies if needed. We proved it during the Gallic wars and we also did it while we were fighting the Outcast hordes."he stopped a few seconds to create the moment "I propose the following. First, CIS and BIS to work together to identify the threats and supporters from Auxesia and also we need to look at whom or what can impede the peaceful lives within or outside your borders, I am sure that there is more than one concern in that regard. Secondly, we should discuss closer economically ties and a possible reduction in the cost of materials, thus allowing us to make more contracts with you than with any other economical partners. At the same time, we would offer the same for our goods. Thirdly, the permission to open recruitment offices on the Bretonian planets to present the ideals and the goals of our Republic and what would entail if they chose to join us." he looked around "Fourthly, a treaty between our Nations in regards to borders, duties, joint missions and so long. What you think?"
