We have now reached a critical moment in the situation regarding Augustaborg. While we regret not being able to discuss our actions regarding the country before our action we believed that in order to salvage the situation and at least save part of the populace from communist rule we had to act quickly.
At this moment in time there are roughly 800 Asylan troops located near the borders of Augustaborg, we have authorized the deployment of an additional 2000 on top of this. Two of our light carrier task forces have secured the channel between Erdenshire and Augustaborg leaving outside supply lines open. However as per his previous independence announcement, Mr. Akesson has no military forces to provide in case of conflict.
At this time our analysts have theorized that Etnaea is more likely to either remain neutral or ideologically side with the Triparte. It seems unlikely that they will join and shooting conflict unless their own colonial possessions are threatened. Our greatest threat is Carentania. At this very moment an assault on Augustaborg would be impossible since Asylan forces would most likely defeat any assault. However should they bring reinforcements this could be brought into question. Our greatest asset in the region is the Erdenshire base. Its airstrip and naval facilities will prove invaluable.
