Good evening sir.

This afternoon a Bretonia Armed Forces patrol chased an unidentified large ship, of a size comparable to a Kusarian battleship and propelled with gallic technology, through Leeds and New London before it lost its track somewhere next to Trafalgar. More suprisingly, some traders reported that a second one was destroyed at the entrance of the Leeds system by a combined force of CR and IMG fighter, who tracked them down from Tau 23 until here. Cadet Harding is expected to post a short report of this event within the coming hours.

Later in the afternoon another Bretonia Armed Force patrol intercepted in Leeds, at the Stoke lane approximately 16:43 smt, a group of three gallic pilots in other uncharted snubcrafts. After double checking (based on our thin knowledges on that matter) those individuals were confirmed as Council wing, callsign Blanc-Deux, Trois and Quatre, plus a certain miss Griaud. Those pilots agreed on an interview with the Armed Forces, to which I attended. Among other thing they confirmed the threat of a Gallic assault on our Kingodm within the next few months and that the unidentified ship mentioned above is from their royal navy. The content will be posted soon here as well by Commander Woodrow once stripped of irrelevant informations, but for now we will go straight to the point.

The council scouts agreed on an exchange, to host one agent of ours in Gallia and make him visit the local hot spot and gather informations on the Gallic threat in exchange of a shipment of materials. The said shipment was not numbered yet and should not exceed 5000 ship hull panels and other goods, but could be renegociated later. Now the Intelligence Services, if you agree with this mission, should select, brief and make ready an adequate agent for this mission. The council pilots will stay in Bretonia for a short time but will come back here to escort him if we aren't ready on time.

I ask you to consider how valuable is this operation for the defense of our Kingdom, compared to the moderate price we can afford it. The BAF cannot open a second conflict, especially against such formidable opponent. Unlike for the war against Kusari, here the initial impact will dictate the course of the whole campaign. The BAF will have no other options than to engage all remaining available forces : either we hold, either we shatters. Bretonia must take any chance offered, and this operation is one of them.

Please send me your answer once you considered the question, along with the callsign of the designated agent.

Good night sir.


Regards,

Fleet Admiral Martin Bridge.
