Gentlemen, our recent victories are glorious and we have nobody else to thank for that but you. However there is a grave matter to discuss.
As we all know Rheinland stands on the brink of war with Liberty. The increased Bounty Hunter presence and the economic embargo are both a means for the Liberty imperialists to breach the very borders of our fatherland, to desecrate it's space with their very presence. Obviously we as the true defenders of Rheinland cannot allow such a transgression to stand, and we must make it clear to the foreign devils that they are not welcome here. There is a problem however: the war with the Corsairs is taking it's toll, and successfully tying up the majority of our forces. What is left in Rheinland would never be enough to successfully stop the Liberty Navy on it's own, not even with the help of all our allies. As much as it may seem like treason for me to say this, Rheinland needs it's Military now to do what it was meant to do in the first place: protect it's people.
Therefore I am issuing a new order for the Red Hessian Army: Rheinland Military units are reclassified to low priority targets, effective immediately. Engage only if faced with no other choice, or under specific orders from Vogtland Command. Our current highest priority is the elimination of Bounty Hunters in Rheinland, specifically their capital ships. Corsair units in the Omega systems are elevated to second priority targets. Help the newly reformed Hessian Tears squadron as well as our Coalition allies whenever possible. Diamond and niobium interdiction is to remain as it was however, keep the pressure on the corporate bastards. And the most important order of all: should foreign forces make their way into Rheinland, and the Military is engaged with them, ignore the Military units. Concentrate on the foreigners, don't fire on other Rheinlanders unless attacked first.
In a nutshell: Lets give some breathing space to the Military, and allow them for their preparations for the war with the northern invader. They need to be strong for the coming fight, and so do we, for we will be there on the front line with them when it happens, whether they like it or not...
