NAVAL OPERATIONS IN GOTHIC SEA
☎ +46 771 793 336
PRIS: 5 ÖRE
DROTTNINGSFORS — Her Majesty's Government began its spring exercises for the Royal Navy in the Gothic Sea this morning. The exercises featured a crisis scenario in which ship movements out of Gothic Sea is blockaded.
While this sort of crisis is unlikely, the Royal Navy was not clear on the exact ramification of their exercise. Her Majesty's Government has maintained that it will continue to maintain a policy in which freedom of trade may not be disrupted. This is counter to the former policies from the 16th century, when Götarige would pursue a toll of the southern exit of the Gothic Sea. A policy which ended disastrously in various wars throughout the 19th century. Subsequently prompting this policy in which any blockade is to be broken, a policy that has had to be threatened to foreign nations who sought to block trade to other nations in the far north.
All countries neighboring the Gothic Sea were notified of the exercise in order to avoid collision or mistaken aggression. Götarige has seen solo military operations as important in recent years to maintain a mutual understanding of Götariges naval status in the region.
Chancellor Lindahl could not be reached for comment personally, but her staff suggested that this drills were important to maintain Götariges wartime readiness. Such readiness has been argued as important, as Götarige maintains a status of non-alignment for the time being. Non-alignment without preparation is a policy to weakness and foreign invasion have said "Cap" Governments over the last 18 years.
The "Hat" opposition had no comment on the exercises, only suggesting that so long as international maritime rules were followed the opposition had no problem with the exercises.
