As the acting Diplomat for the Empire in the Grand Archipelagic Republic I have been instructed reach out to yourself with information of concern to not just our own continent, but as one of the world as a whole. Everyone knows of the Presidents position on colonial holdings, and what he calls the global exploitation conspiracy and his personal involvement in the affairs an sea across, even as annoying as it was to our own government. So that may still leave you pondering why it is any concern that I am coming to you with this information.
Your allies in Camp Hill have called for a thawing of relations between the Pressburg Pact and the Westernesse Treaty signatories. This is an opportunity to begin the thawing and show a mutual desire for peace that has landed in my lap. Information, primarily photographs will show the situation that faces us gravely, not in the immediate, but in the future if we do not act in some manner of cooperation.
I will outline each photograph attached, and I would recommend yourselves if capable, or an allied state such as Natal confirm with your own resources the validity of these images.
In the first image you will see the overhead view of drydocks and slipyard in Bremen, where the keels of what would appear to be the initial stages of submarines keels being laid. While not significant for a threat analysis on its own, as even in our own shipyards we have several ships under construction for the continued modernization and replacement of vessels on the end of their lifecycles.
In the second image you will see the excavation and construction of in the early stages of what can only be described as a missile silo facility in one single location of Eiffelland, the possibility of there being countless others is significant. The only types of missiles that are ever housed in these types of facilities are those of Intercontinental reach, and not for the targeting of military capabilities, but those designed to attack much larger targets, the type that cause great civilian casualties.
Here in the third image you will see the same as the second image, the difference? This location is in Al-Maghreb. So this is not only a worrying factor in just the measure of the type of weapons that are potentially being built in Eiffelland with a certain type of warfare its planning to wage, but the fact it is putting these types of resources into what had been previously an EF mandate, and now is supposed to be undergoing a "free and fair referendum" in the future to decide its fate.
So in closing this message I think that we can agree that what is only beginning within the borders of the Kingdom of Eiffelland and its colony Al-Maghreb is one of great concern not only to our own state but to that of the world in general. The types of weapons systems being built by the Kingdom of Eiffelland are not those designed for civilized warfare, but by those whom are bent on complete and utter destruction and total warfare. The types that are designed to kill civilians, not the men whom fight, but their families and friends. I recommend you take and verify this information yourselves so you may see that the truth we speak is true.
We have not released such information to the public, nor made a public declaration of our own for the simple fact it would be quickly dismissed by Trier and whomever else falls into its lead blindly. By showing you ourselves, and asking that you verify it, is a first step where we can find the information making its way public and the world as a whole can decide how we must react to this travesty and prevent the possibility of an accident or purposeful massive loss of innocent lives.
