Rheinland and Liberty

[BaconSoda]

The LR will work with anyone if it gets them cash, that is all they care about. As for the war, i believe liberty is going to win. Lets face some facts here, yes liberty doesn't have allot of resource fields, but what they lack in that they more than make up with the fact that have several pieces of technology that no other house can get its hands on. Gate/lane parts for instance, if in the war against rheinland liberty decides to take on the lanes and gates, rheinland wouldn't be able to repair them because only DSE and Ageira know how to do that.

You forget that Libertonian greed goes beyond anything in any other house. DSE and Interspace have their hands everywhere, and continue to operate in area that are hostile (Tau-23) and places that have an immense dislike for them (Hokkaido). DSE might not be able to ship through Bering and Hudson, but they'll still ship things through Bretonia, just like Kusari shippers will ship things to Liberty through the Sigmas. Freistadt (One of the main consumers of lane parts near Rheinland) is also in an independent world. If Liberty did ban sale of Gate/Lane parts to Rheinland completely, Interspace (Having a big hand in Freistadt) could more than easily pop by and get some.

As for kusari joining in to attack liberty, that to is something i don't see happening. If kusari does that, they openly show that they support rheinland, and i am pretty sure the GMG wouldn't be happy about it. If the GMG then erects a blockade of its own between rheinland and kusari, what i think they would surely do, kusari would lose all access to foreign trade, as they are fighting liberty and bretonia, GMG blockading trade with rheinland. In other words, the end of the kusari war machine, as i am quite sure bretonia would then be able to push back kusari forces due to lack of reinforcements on the kusari side.

The question of this is, though, why would Kusari do this? Liberty is currently neutral to them, and as Liberty is a large consumer of Samura luxury foods and other such products, I don't think Kusari would ever take any military action against Liberty. To do so would just be...Dumb....

Furthermore, the GMG wouldn't hurt Kusari at all, ever. If they did that, they too would become useless and impotent. They need Kusari like the rest of Sirius needs them. Without Kusari, they can't ship their H-Fuel, and they will die out like Kusari would without any trade partners. To think otherwise is just...Silly.

Just an idea, if Rheinland was so superior on the ground, with the tanks and all, what would stop Liberty battleships, to bombard the planets?

Energy weapons die out quickly in atmospheres? Good question, but, it might be considered immoral. The Corsairs doing it to the Mollys is one thing, but a civilized house vaporizing a planet is another...
