[color=#FFFFFF]Comrade Premier and Commissar.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][color=#FFFF00]I bring good news from the Frankfurt system.

[color=#FFFF00]Based on the information which Commissar Mendel provided, I sought out the GMG in order to start the process of rectifying the fuel situation.

As you may be aware, we have a secondary fuel operation in the New London system at the Boar's Inn station. That fuel, however, is no where near enough to sustain the entire Coalition fleet and fighter corps - even in their current depleted state.

I took my Insurgent fighter to the Frankfurt system and met with Nozai Ichimoto. He is a Board member of the GMG and has a say on their business deals and, importantly, he has the ear of their CEO.

They seem initially positive to our proposals and needs. I kept the information I provided to an absolute minimum and I feel so did he. This, in my opinion, bodes well for further meetings.

Details I did manage to gleen are as follows-

• The war with Kusari means that the GMG has no clients within its borders. This has cut a market off to them.
  
• The Kishiro company are not being allowed to export the GMG's H-Fuel into Liberty due to a current embargo.
  
• The GMG are in desperate need of new clients to buy the surplus stock they currently have.
  
• Relations between the GMG and Rheinland are still very frosty, this leaves only Bretonia as a viable long-term market however they are out of reach.
  

We could be the saviour to the GMG's needs, as much as they could be the saviour to ours. In effect, this will look like the perfect piece of business if we can pull this off.

What was suggested is that Premier Katz or Commissar Mendel makes contact with the CEO of the GMG to begin full negotiations.

In effect, we need each other. I am not a skilled diplomat so will yield to your superior negotiation techniques comrades.

[color=#FFFFFF]Ling out.
