A Undersecretary would take the call and politely explain to the dutch that the bilateral relation between both nations has been suspended, as Argentina does not engage with nations who sponsor terrorism.

The Secretary of State, rather surprised by the response would courteously reply, "Undersecretary, I would ask your government not to take any hasty decisions. I have made this call to discuss the situation surrounding the Republic of Argentina and the French Republic. I believe you may have misunderstood the Dutch position in this conflict. The Netherlands is maintaining a position of neutrality, though not abandoning its duty to protect the innocent from war and conflict. I would like to make it clear that my government does not support the French government in its actions, neither entering your airspace or killing your military personnel can be excused. However, that should not be a reason that innocent civilians are to suffer the threat of invasion and occupation."

"The Netherlands has managed to arrange the transfer of sovereignty from the French Republic to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, thereby guaranteeing the safety of the inhabitants as well as eliminating any and all French offensive capabilities against mainland Argentina. I hope that Argentina can understand the position of my government in attempting to prevent bloodshed as we both know that the this French government is more than willing to sacrifice the lives of its citizens in less than noble goals."

"My government believes it can advise the French government to seek a peaceful end to this conflict, without the loss of any more civilian or military lives. Would a delegation of the Argentine Republic be willing to be present at a peace negotiation with a delegation from the French Republic, and with the Netherlands mediating the talks to keep the debate calm and ordered?"

"I believe the world stands at a crossroads between peace or war, my government has full faith in yours to make the right decision. I hope you are willing to relay my message to your superiors, if not then I can at least thank you for willing to hear me out."

"There is one last thing that I would request of you to bring to your superiors, my government has managed to receive a guarantee from the French administration to delay or cancel any planned offensive operations, their military assets should now simply have the directive of defending their territory. I this can be taken into account to understand that my government is seeking an end to this conflict."

"Furthermore, they are willing to come to the table to negotiate a peace deal, with Dutch mediation we believe that they should remain calm and be willing to discuss terms. I also wish to bring up the topic of justice, as that is what we should be aiming for instead of bloodshed. We are willing to assist your government to brining those responsible for the deaths of your service men in Alexandria to justice. Whether you wish to do so through the International Court of Justice or set up a temporary tribunal within the Peace Palace to handle the proceedings."

"Excuse me, Mister, but the Republic of Argentina does not want to maintain any diplomatic talks with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. My Government sees this Treaty your nation signed with a BELLIGERENT nation as a direct intervention and a clear favoring of Argentina's opponent in this, until now, bilateral conflict.

We have a professional army, and trust them to execute their orders accordingly, reducing any potential collateral damage as much as possible. Up to know in fact, the only lives lost where on account of the french having trouble with operating their own ships... And the argentine lives lost in Alexandria. I did not see any of your Government caring about this direct and unprovoked attack against Argentina... We were negotiating with the french and had already told them we were returning their people, but they choos to bomb themselves like any suicide bomber. Where was the Netherlands and their altruistic interest back then?

No, Sir. Your nation is siding with a terrorist Government in fulfillment of an own agenda, just as Canada did when they exposed their phone call to France, and we will not deal with this kind.

War will proceed, France will pay its price, but if its this what concerns you... no. We won't be dragging the world into a Global Conflict over the inept Government of France. On the other side, we know that by the actions taken by your Government, YOU would.

The Diplomatic relation between the Republic of Argentina and the Kingdom of the Netherlands is formally suspended, meaning that all diplomatic and commercial deals are as well.

Now, I will end this call, following orders from my superiors. Should your nation want to inform mine, regarding any consular affair, please proceed to do it through a third Party.

Thank you, and I'm sorry it had to come to this."

The private and encrypted call would be terminated.
