[Germany]: Message to France

[Alexander]

"Yes, my time in Berlin I consider one of my most treasured memories. While I am obviously biased I do think Strasbourg is slightly nicer as it perfectly combines the French and German cultures, but beyond that Berlin and Paris are about even to me." Marie spoke with a smile, she was clearly enjoying her conversation with her German counterpart. "I am glad to see you agree with the proposal and as well your motivation for doing so. While France due to its history is more than just a European power, Europe is and always will be our first home and where 99% of our people are. In recent years we have been critically unable to address my own affairs, either because our countries didn't have the means to protect the continent or if they did they were focused on their own affairs. It is an abomination that the American Navy was needed to protect Italian territory. One of our primary goals is to enable Europe to be self-sustaining, this is a major reason why we have decided to invest this deeply into our military as well. There is of course the immediate need to defend our people from Canada, but beyond that we want to avoid external powers being needed to protect our sovereignty. This is not known yet so I hope you will keep it private but in the upcoming weeks the Empress intends to announce a doctrine that as a key pillar provides for the ability for France to defend any European country should they fall under attack. The reason I am telling you this is that I believe Germany likewise has a major role to play on continental defence. In a dream scenario we would like to see yourselves, ourselves, Poland, and Russia acting as guarantors of European security. Not to impose our wills on weaker European countries but rather guaranteeing that every European can breathe free and without the risk of unprovoked aggression." She paused for a moment as the next topic she would bring up was related to the former but not entirely. "When it comes to our security needs I also believe there is another important topic and that is one of technology. Following World War 2 and especially after the Cold War our military industries have become heavily entwined. Germany has the best rifle and the best tank in the world, we have the best anti-air defence and one of the best fighter jets, Germany has legendary diesel submarines, we have impressive nuclear ones and aircraft carriers. The list really goes on. On our own France and Germany do not have technological parity with say the US in every category, but when our respective industries complement each other our technology is superior to pretty much the rest of the world. If you are open to it we would like to propose equal access. You would be able to produce any piece of technology we have developed and vice versa. Our industries are already setup for this with for example the shares we both hold in companies like Airbus."

Hannah would smile. "Mochengladbach was my home town, I would say it is slightly nicer then Paris." She'd laugh, joking with Marie. "We will of course keep it private and I actually share the same sentiment of Germany to being involved in the defence of Europe. Sure we do not want to be the Europe Police. But it is more or less to avoid as you say external powers taking over to protect our land. America has always been seen as the..world police as you say. United Kingdom only really follow suit from what they have to say and it leads to America having a influence in European affairs in which case with their navy protecting Italian territory. I see no issue with that dream scenario. Though as I said, it is important to act like a Police.. but rather a defence." Hannah paused as she continued. "I see. I have no issue with equal access, however I would need to clear this first. What kind of equipment are we talking in regards?"

Alexander

 

[Alexander]

"You hit the nail on the head. France has no interest in telling our neighbours what they can and cannot do. With some exceptions such as genocide or other crimes against humanity of course, but beyond that every European state should feel free to develop however they wish comforted in the knowledge that if some outside power takes offence the combined forces of Europe will stand ready to repel them. As for the technology, it really is too numerous to say. The German military industry is enormous and likewise is our own. Already plenty of projects have both French and German, as well as Italian and Spanish roots. So rather than getting stuck on specifics and making sure we share an equal number of technology our proposal is simply that we lift any barriers and tariffs. Germany would be able to purchase anything from French companies at market value (OOC: So catalogue price without needing to send money over and for me to then do the production but rather you get to order the production directly), and vice versa. But to name some specific things. We produce for example the SAMP/T, which is the world's most advanced surface to air missile system, or the Ground Master 400 radar which is one of the most advanced 3D AESA radars. Likewise you would be able to buy for example our Charles de Gaulle aircraft carriers and once their development is completee the Thales Air Master 403 and 406 Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems. By not having any tariffs or red tape in place each one of us can create the most optimal military to aid in our shared commitment to continental security" Marie replied with a smile. She hesitated for a moment before getting a folder from her bag. "We weren't sure if this first meeting would be the right time to propose it, but based on how things have been going so far. I would like to raise two more proposals for your consideration. The first would be to sigh a mutual defence treaty. The second proposal is something our governments did in the past century as well as a commitment to Europe and to show that even ancient rivals can come together. The Franco-German Brigade. This would be a military unit consisting of both German and French forces placed under the command of an officer from one state and a deputy from the other. We could make sure to alternate command and deputy command fairly, and this way if the situation presented itself where Germany and France would both need to act we would already have a highly competent military unit ready to go that has been training together and getting used to operating under a singular command. To enhance cooperation they could have facilities on both sides of the Franco-German border"

Danny

 

[Danny]

"Of course, if any crimes against humanity occurred. I see no issue of production of each others techonology. I'm assuming you mean if say we ordered a French equipment, you'd produce it and send it over or i'm I mistaken apologies?" Hannah paused. "The treaty.. do you have anything written up for it currently? I see no issue with this as you are correct. It can show us rivals coming together in a time where Europe needs stability. Within regards to the Brigade, again no issues from me. It is in fact perfect timing whilst we are currently revamping the German Armed Forces anyway. I couldn't really pinpoint where our sides will be based currently however."

Alexander

 

[Alexander]

"I more meant that if you wanted French equipment you could order it directly from the manufacturer, without needing to do it through us. The manufacturer would also be able to fulfil the order without prior permission from my government and deliver it directly to you, and vice versa. I am pleased you are in agreement. If I may suggest, why not stick with the original facilities that were designated? Müllheim in Germany as Headquarters, Metz in France as secondary headquarters, and then Donaueschingen and Stetten am Kalten Markt in Germany and Illkirch-Graffenstaden and Sarrebourg in France. We would be willing to dedicate 10,000 soldiers as well as appropriate armour and artillery to this Brigade to allow it to be a highly capable force for anything Germany or France may need in our respective defence and of course if we do so jointly decide in the future in any operation between our two states. Also as luck would have it I had requested my staff to prepare documents for any possible scenario. I do not yet have one for the Europol organization but my aide is already working on a Memorandum of Understanding for that one as well that would commit both our nations to its formation but leave space for any other nations to provide input prior to it becoming law.

Hannah would read the document at first, scanning the document completely before she was to sign it. However, after she read it she replied. "Could I speak to the cabinet and see what they think first before I sign? I would like to see their thoughts as I have no problem with it. But I do not want to sign it and they disagree or are unhappy with it. Once signed I can fax it over encrypted. In regards to the bases and the brigade, we are also willing to place 10,000 soldiers alongside the relevant equipment to fufill this brigade. I can speak with the Ministry of Defence who won't have any issues."

Marie nodded. "Of course, we anticipated ratification processes being required in both our states anyway and that is more than fine"

Danny

 

[Danny]

"It seems peace has come finally. What are France's plans now?"

Alexander

 

[Alexander]

"Same thing we do every night Pinky, try and take over the world"Marie said jokingly, referring to the 90s cartoon. "No, the peace with Canada is a surprising but welcome relief. We can only assume that Her Imperial Majesty's final appeal to humanity combined with the revelation that France wasn't going to surrender its territory and instead underwent the fastest militarization since World War 2 giving us an army, air force and navy that could have retaken territory by force was enough of a deterrent. We're just happy that, even though we were certain we would win, no further French or Canadians had to die to bring about that victory. Our immediate plans are to deal with the terrorism problem inside our borders and to send a message to the world by a large-scale military exercise that no one else should try to invade us. Longer term our plans are unchanged. Les gens, la foi, le sol. People, faith, soil. Protection of our people and language, protection of our faith, and protection of our territory. In equal importance this includes alliances with French-speaking nations, Catholic nations, and European nations, with the ultimate goal that the French everywhere, the Catholics everywhere, and the Europeans everywhere will always be protected. We will maintain our military at its current levels to guarantee that we will be able to uphold those goals no matter who comes knocking

 

[Danny]

Hannah would laugh at the joke. "I see, I believe it is a long term to go forward to rebuild in terms of your territories. If anything we can do to assist, please let us know. Rest assured, with the treaty here. I believe there is a future for us."
