To His Excellence the Prime Minister of the Grand Duchy of Potenza, Mr. Gaetano Merlino

San Salvo, 09.11.52

Your Excellence,

With the peaceful and positive relations between the Empire and the Grand Duchy of Potenza having a long historical record, the traditional friendship between our nations' peoples and the recent tensions in the vicinity of your right honourable country in southern Gallia, as well as the Reich's traditional policy of armed pacifism and respect of national sovereignty and interior affairs, I would like to express my government's best wishes and intentions to cooperate with your government in an effort to increase the friendly relations between the Reich and Potenza.

In particular, His Excellence the Imperial Chancellor Rudolf Reichsfürst von Schwarzenberg has ordered me to forward you a proposal regarding a memorandum of friendship and cooperation in military affairs. The proposal involves student exchanges between our countries' national military academies, exchanges of military advisers and specialists, and exchanges of army and air service personnel for military drills and limited tours of duty. In particular, the proposal involves a trial run of a single six-month tour of personnel, advisers, specialists and students from either party to its counterpart, with the option of continuing and/or improving it based on the experiences attained.

In this bold motion our two governments can help reinforce their relations while sending a bold public message, while the cooperation between our armed forces can help increase their professionalism, competitiveness and fighting ability in conditions such as urban and Alpine warfare, depending on those military exercises organised for the personnel exchanged and local counterparts.

It is our hope that this can be a first mark of increased cooperation, followed by diplomatic initiatives to increase financial and civil cooperation as well. I am confident that the Imperial Chancellor's proposal will be considered with all due seriousness it deserves.

Regards,
Hermann von Miller zu Aichholz

To the Honorable Hermann von Miller zu Aichholz:

In cooperation between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense, the Grand Duchy welcomes this move from the Reich, and will gladly cooperate. Students and alumni of the Royal Military Academy in San Salvo will be selected for the exchange program, and we would like to send to the Reich the 18th Infantry Brigade of the 8th Division of the Regio Esercito, as well as the 2nd Wing of the Regia Aeronautica, for training and maneuvers. We look forward to further discussions on this matter.

Your Excellence,

My government looks forward to the implementation of the proposed cooperation. In the spirit of reciprocal equality the Imperial Ministry for War has stated that military forces of the Imperial Army and Imperial Air Service will be chosen, being of corresponding size to the infantry brigade and combat wing to be sent by your nation.

The selection of students and alumini of the Imperial military academies will be made together with the selection of military units to be dispatched for the military exchanges. With a proposed tour of duty of six months, all dispatched personnel will have a golden opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge, and bolster our two countries' relations.

On further matters, I have been instructed to inform you that our foreign ministry is interested in a bilateral meeting with its counterpart to discuss the possibilities of a framework for improved cooperation in other fields as well.

I look forward for any further words on the matter.

Regards,
Hermann von Miller zu Aichholz
