Admiral Sommerville.

The consequences of the leak cannot be denied but must also not be overstated. At this point, no entity in Sirius or Gallia will possess the means to piece together the missing information with ease. This means ample of time to prepare for the devastating threat represented by the devices military usage outside of controlled environments such as the Dublin campaign. We are talking a few years up to a decade here.

I believe it is in the interest of the Empire to coordinate our next steps tightly with the Kingdom of Bretonia. I will do my best to convince the relevant people to permit a Bretonian observer role, tied to conditions such as Bretonia positioning itself as a neutral party in regards to recent accusations made by the Republic of Liberty. As clamping down on third party devices will not be necessary for years to come, I would like to attempt to organize something of far greater interest to you, Admiral.

Following the leak, a project aimed at creating countermeasures to a Kishiro Drive's activation has been kickstarted, as whilst years may pass, someone somewhere will eventually construct a somewhat functional replica and we wish to be prepared for this scenario long before it occurs. Seeing as we share the same sentiment on Gallia, a sentiment vast portions of our respective populations share, I am fully convinced that it is urgently required to forge an even stronger partnership capable of deterring Gallic influence for decades to come. To ensure both our nations to hold the same strategic advantage when the day of a new military conflict with Gallia dawns, I will attempt to convince relevant actors to permit Bretonian cooperation in this project and permit ownership of relevant countermeasure devices for the Kingdom once the project yields results.

In service of Kusari,
Goryō
