Admiral Solandros,

I thank you for the latest intelligence you have provided. This is exactly the type of relationship I hope to cultivate between us - you provide the information, and I spare as many soldaten as possible to act on it. However, I find that I must be more clear based on your previous request. Under no circumstance are you to act against Rheinland organizations, or inside Rheinland itself.

Make no mistake mein Herr, this is a red line which must not be crossed to maintain our newly cordial relations. I understand that this restriction may lead to some... unfortunate... consequences. But if you want any chance of legitimacy in the foreseeable future, you will tow this line. Report any suspected personnel to the MND or RM personnel on-scene, and do not engage unless given the green light by these same individuals. If none are present, watch and document, and then provide us with the information - we will do the rest.

Now, regarding this latest incursion. The situation in Thuringia has developed at an alarming rate. I have already re-organized our dispositions to cover this new threat axis. I have also indicated to my soldaten, unofficially, that Order personnel are to be treated with suspicion but not engaged outright. Naturally, they will assist you against the aliens, but otherwise, try to avoid RM forces wherever possible. If you are worried about pretenders, carefully scan the IFF which the transponder is squawking. My people will have unambiguous callsigns, while the Wild infiltrators will have corrupted data showing. Otherwise, use your best judgement, and my people will do the same.

Hochachtungsvoll,
Alfred Henze
Großadmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
