OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE |
ENCRYPTED MESSAGE |
TO: Ivan Ivanov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire ( John )
FROM: Jackson Fitzgerald, Secretary of State of the United States of America
Minister Ivanov,
Best regards,
Jackson Fitzgerald
Secretary of State
[/TD][/TR][/TD][/TR]Minister Ivanov,
I am reaching out to you at the direction of the White House. The Federal Government is aware of the ongoing invasion of the Republic of the Congo which has resulted in the destruction of our embassy. So far, the United States has remained neutral in this conflict. However, the blatant military attack on civilians and the destruction of our embassy makes this impossible to ignore. From the intelligence that we have gathered, our understanding is that the Russian Embassy in the area may have also been heavily damaged.
At this point, we have two common interests, as well as one possible third interest:
1) The evacuation of our living citizens from the Republic of The Congo;
2) Establishing some kind of cease-fire so that our armed forces are not in harms way as our forces go into the Republic of The Congo;
3) Responding to the attack on our embassies.
The White House would like to propose that we conduct a joint naval operation off the coast of the Congo. We would send our own separate fleets who would have their own independent commanders, but we would make it publicly clear that the United States and the Russian Empire are standing together to respond to what has happened in the Congo. While our forces are on the way, we would propose a ceasefire to the governments of both countries so that we could extract any of our remaining civilians, and also retrieve the fallen. Furthermore, our governments would insist that these two governments go to the negotiating table to end this war, or risk facing a kinetic response from both of our armed forces.
I am sure it goes without saying that both of our countries are within their right to retaliate for this attack, which came with no warning. In order to avoid further bloodshed, we would first like to give both sides an opportunity to end this conflict.
Please inform me as soon as possible if this proposal is of interest to the Empire's government.
