Pedro heard that rumour about jumphole between New Berlin and Sigma 13 as well...
"That's a good point, Ares. But that risk is acceptable, I think. Some say that the jumphole might collapse but so far it's working so why don't we stick with the plan now and make some changes later is it becomes reality. Their base is not just the closest one to Planet New Berlin, but there is also a collateral advantage. This way is very frequently use by Cardamine smugglers, you see my point?"
"And speaking of the Junker reliability, yes you are right, but as long as we keep our side of the agreement, we should be all right. And don't forget that there will be a superior striking force of our capital ships parked somewhere near their Depot so I if they try some dirty tricks, we will wipe them out mercilessly. To be honest, eliminating Junkers in Sigma 13 before striking Rheinland was part of the 'Road to the Rheinland' manifest as Montoya already mentioned it, prepared by our ancestors. But I think doing it the way I suggested, we can focus on the real target without wasting our energy on someone else."
Pedro turned to the rest of Elders: "Okay, other comments or suggestions?"
