Jack faces Jonah and nods: "We try to avoid being seen together and Gaian ships can't be near Hood when Bretonian Army vessels or others are close..." he explains.
"I sadly have to state that Gaians are still not careful and subtle enough in the use of Hood. You can improve things in this aspect."
"And... I think you got something wrong, Sir. The one time I 'assisted' BAF in the fight was because I was basically forced. I told your commander that I'd be firing somewhere, then retreat. I am not aware of any noteable hostilities in which IMG forces fought Gaians. But if there were... I'd like to know the details, and the names. This... can be avoided. I can improve in that point..." he smiles and nods.
Sequoia whispers him a few words, and Jack clears his throat again:
"But perhaps we should discuss these operations details later... because there is something more important. There is an idea... it's not more up to now. What do you think about the following proposal..." he leans forward, putting his elbows on the desk:
"The IMG uses its financial power to pay for the disruptions of some unpleasant elements in Bretonia. The bounty could be placed via third parties in order to keep us out of this completely. We'd mask the flow of money through some well hidden channels and make sure that there are some incentives to go for some of our common enemies." he leans back...
"This could also include not only Gaians, but I'm thinking of adressing some other tools, too. Reavers for example could be interested in claiming it, too. By increasing our own share of operations in Dublin and decreasing the operational capabilities of our rivals, we might profit in the end."
"I know, these are extreme measures but it's not like we haven't been provoked and fired at. We've had our fair share of losses and in my opinion this here is exactly the circle of people to openly discuss issues like this. Soooo...." he exhales audibly...
"What is your opinion on a plan that has been bred from anger in Dublin..." and he smiles the devious smile of a politician who is angry at someone not present in the room...
