Fraulein Jaez and Agent Cooper, your condolences are well appreciated.

As to the allegations that the evidence the British fabricated the evidence
implicating the German Navy in the sinking of the Lusitania: Well, I shall
merely state 'twas in their interests that America assist them at the time, as
they were in great danger of being defeated.

And the news that the UCAS government may finally take action is quite
encouraging, indeed. As to action by my nation, I am hopeful. It is, however,
improbable that any results shall be generated before tomorrow. My sources
indicate that the Kaiser is presently meeting with the Chancellor and the rest
of the Imperial Cabinet, along with the High Command. A military solution
seems likely, and if that conclusion is reached, it shall result in even more
pressure being placed upon the Three. Hopefully, this will generate the added
benefit of affording the rebels more opportunities to strike.

However, I am consumed by the desire to quote:

"Attack, attack, and when in doubt, ATTACK!!!"
-- Frederick II, the Great, King of Prussia

"War is nothing but the continuation of politics with the admixture of other
means."
-- Karl von Clauswitz

"Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war."
-- Mark Antony, in _Julius Caesar_

"If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?"
-- Shylock, _The Merchant of Venice_

exactly
when the German decide to get on with the old, "One more, unto the breach, dear
friends". Any takers? I'm guessing early tomorrow. ]<<<<<

I'm
guessing it'll take a couple days to get there. Say between 5 and 7 days. Of
course, if they are carrier group, the fighters will be in range sooner than
that. ]<<<<<
