If working in Bering and you intend to use FP2 as a base, you may want to ask the Zoners about it. I didn't see it mentioned as to whether or not you would but they wouldn't like having a firefight right outside the base when your group was trying to stop a fleet of Rheinland warships.
I would say the Merc ID. You don't HAVE to ask for money to fend off Rheinlanders if you're doing it for the pride of your homeland and that ID gives you some flexibility.
