Admiral Kunrad, I have been made aware that my approval is necessary for operations to move forward. You have it.
I would like to congratulate you on your initiative in bringing the fight to our enemies at little cost to our own people.

However.

I will offer a further suggestion to be implemented in preparing the vessel for combat operations.
Your communication partner claims that it is an old Rheinland relic. You must therefore ensure that this story is not entirely marred by the installation of the latest weapon systems offered by Daumann. I am prepared to deny all knowledge of the operation and acquisition of this vessel by the mentioned group, regardless of the source of the accusation. But my denial will be more compelling if no single material on that ship originates from the yards of modern Rheinland. I am confident that the engineers employed for the project will rise to the challenge, even if it means reducing operational capacity.

Hochachtungsvoll,
Alfred Henze
Großadmiral der Kaiserlichen Rheinwehr
