Description[?]:
| ***Reichskanzler enters the convened session of the Reichstag looking fraught and much frailer than before.*** Party Members, I am determined to hold the defensive line we have created and, as such, proclaim today that action will be taken to offset the rebels' actions under Operation Amatubime. Firstly, I will commit some of our central reserves to deal with the illegal districts that have been established by the enemy and bring them back under state control, thus leaving troops on the Heinrich Line to deal solely with the threat in front of them. Secondly, I will also modify the law to deal with the airmen of the so-called RBW Septembrist army shot down over our territory. Such people have foregone the right to be held or tried as if they are international prisoners of war - they are terrorist mercenaries of an unrecognised and illegal administration whose leaders are accused of high treason. Therefore, I will grant powers to our armed forces and security force so that any of these captured airmen can be hanged from prominent positions and their bodies left in situ as an example to deter would-be rebels. As I have said before, our defences are good, our resolve undiminished and I will not surrender. Our generals are currently working on strategies that will force the enemy from our country and restore order to the protectorate of Ostland. At that point we will negotiate a cease fire. Reichskanzler Leopold Nimitz |

| Message | Herr Kanzler, If we would just launch free market reforms, everyone would be happily living as good consumerists and few would care for political reforms. Spilling more blood isn't the way, give 'em something with sugar instead to show them we've got the message. Capitalism for all now. Claudia Thronstahl |

| Message | F**k free market reform! Do you think if we give these kind of people a few cans of cola it will boost their patriotism? No, they were born traitors and will die traitors. But let me reassure you how loyal the vast majority of Hulstrian people are to me and to the political reforms I have implemented. They love me, Frau Thronstahl, and will follow me to the gates of hell if I ask them. Follow my lead and abandon these crazy ideas of yours and one day they will learn to love you too. Reichskanzler Leopold Nimitz |
