Guten Tag, soldaten.

Most of you have grown familiar with my face over the duration of my tenure within the Oberkommando. For better or worse, I am here to announce that I have been raised to the leadership of that most august Body, and therefore to the leadership of the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr as your Großadmiral.

My dedication to the Rheinwehr will continue to result in sleepless nights and long hours spent at the desk, while the younger man in me may yearn for a field command. Those of you who know me well will understand the struggle and the sacrifice I willingly make to ensure the prosperity of every member of the Rheinwehr, and their continued ability to defend our nation from its foes. I am proud to say that I would not take back any of my decisions that have lead to this point, and will continue ensuring that that I am deserving of the responsibility that has been placed upon me.

My predecessor, Großadmiral Karl-Heinz von Thielau, has left me with a solid machine that has yet to show any strain on its seams despite his absence. This is a testament to the quality of every enlisted crewman and officer of our vessels, and to the solidity of our laws and training regimen which will continue under my own oversight. With Erzherzog von Thielau being given the honorable position of Admiral der Reserve im Ruhestand, I am now able to turn my full attention to the small amount of improvements which could be made to the regulations of the Rheinwehr's day to day operation. Changes will come, and these will be the culmination of multiple fact-finding commissions and informal investigations by myself and my staff.


Meanshile, continue to do your duty by Rheinland and your fellow comrades, and continue making me proud to serve.
That is all.

Für den Kaiser! Für das Volk! Für Rheinland!

Hochachtungsvoll,
Alfred Henze
Großadmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
