Cabled from MOA head office to Rep. of New Cathay High Commission in Yi'an for courier delivery
Your Excellencies:
In light of Xinhai's declaration of an exclusive defencive zone 100 miles from Xinhaiese coasts in the Kalahari Sea, the Republic of New Cathay humbly requests a partial exception for the RNC Navy and RNC Sky Force. As may be known to you New Cathay is frequently pestered and threatened by armed tribal and pirate groups that base themselves in the Mainland Badlands, north of our peninsular border. Our military engages in precision operations at times to dismantle armed groups, deter smuggling and border raids and conduct surveillance.
Most of this activity is located within 500km from our peninsular border, however in recent months some of these groups have based themselves farther north closer to the border with Xinhai. Up until your declaration the RNC Navy and RNC Sky Force had been conducting maritime and aerial patrols within this zone (naturally not getting too close to the Xinhaiese maritime border) and were successful in eliminating some pirate forces. However, since your declaration we have recalled such forces to remain outside the exclusion zone.
We request specifically the following: permission for up to 3 light destroyers, 4 unarmed patrol aircraft and 5 armed air-to-ground aircraft to be present and operational within this exclusion zone at any one time. Naturally our forces would communicate operations and planned routings to your ATC and naval forces in advance. If armed operations against our enemies are required we will alert you as far in advance as possible.
We trust given our many centuries of peaceful coexistence this request will be honoured. Should further details need to be discussed we are naturally open to such dialogue.
Always at your service,
Minister of Overseas Affairs Sir Robert S. Riverdale
