ENCRYPTED MESSAGE |
TO: Gustavo Suárez Pertierra, Secretary of Defense of the Republic of Spain( Bruno )
FROM: John Glass, Secretary of Defense of the United States of America
Secretary Pertierra,
I am sending this message to inform you that an American carrier strike group will be travelling through the Straight of Gibraltar. The intended operation for the strike group will not take place in Spanish territorial waters - they are merely passing through. Their mission is critical for the national security of the United States. On behalf of the President, I am requesting that your armed forces do not interfere with our passage through the straight. Thank you for your time, please get back to me as soon as possible and inform me if you have any questions.
Best Regards,
John Glass
Secretary of Defense
