To: Council Relays

[Deneth Aleski]

Comm ID: Dassault, Jean-Francois
Destination: Tessier, Alain
Subject: Is that so?

Priorities, mon cher.

While your actions are commendable, providing you with even half the supply of oil you requested would be a grossly inefficient use of available resources. We must not only fuel the war effort, we must also tend to the millions of Gallic citizens who have chosen to resist tyranny and seek to permanently delete it. They are the vanguard of a free and republican Gallia. That in itself is a noble cause for which we must invest mind, body and soul. I am merely doing my part in an infinitely larger struggle. I'm sure, Monsieur Tessier, that you understand.

With that said, I'm still willing to talk. What can you propose, camarade?

Veuillez agreer, monsieur, mes salutations les meilleurs.
Jean-Francois Dassault, Amiral
Republique de Gaule.
