Cal,

 

That was excellent work, but I am afraid it has proved my worst fears to be correct.

The tap into the Navy communications network has allowed us to establish that the Navy are mustering a large strike force in New Bavaria. Presumably they are mobilising against us.


Their plan seems to be to keep their actions under wraps until they have built up a sufficiently large attack fleet.  Our estimations put the size of the fleet at several hundred ships. If they chose to attack us we will be crushed like bugs under the heel of a boot.

 

There is no way I will lead an attack against this sort of odds. It would be suicide.  I am afraid that it is time to bargain for peace while we are still in a position to negotiate.

Hopefully we'll be able to pull back. At worst we can surrender and stop this becoming a massacre

I'll try and set up talks with them
