"I have been authorised by His Majesty King David to inform you of Operation Cobble Field." Ambassador Dixon took out a packet that she had been sent from East Moreland. It contained a variety of schedules and images the Ministry of Defence had cleared for the Emperor to see. "East Moreland have been building make shift airfields on a temporary basis around the world during times of emergency. They are constructed using a system that is essentially like a heavy duty metal version of laminate kitchen flooring. They slot together, a bolt gun secures them to the ground, whether that be rock, grass or other solid surface. The matting allows vegetation to grow through and following disuse it can either be removed or left to overgrow. When used in Lakhzovia we removed it following its use and now you would never know its been there. With the search for the HMDS Morelander ongoing and also the attack on the Water Nomad a change in tactics was needed. Sending patrols out from the mainland or the Lodjain islands would be ineffective. Being able to bring assets in and maintain them in the central Alucard is very useful for the security of Lodja and the region in general. Now in terms of your region the first issue is if you recall you have interfered in the Illumic without consulting us when you sent air-force assets to Zimalia. IT could be argued that by doing so you actually protected Borlanders, however we realise that you in one way were invited to the region by Zimalia so even if objecting it becomes difficult to deny your visit as a sovereign nation did so. That though does not mean we were happy about it. Now while there are some parralls because we have been invited by Lodja, one difference is scale. You were some 2,500km away from us, a small hop by fighter plane. We are operating a good 5,000km away, out of the range of our fighters if for some insane reason we planned to attack Paracambi. The only places we could hit are Lodja, who are our allies, Aosta whom have expressed an interest in joining the CNN and Nya Aland with whom we have a long standing respect. It is safe to say therefore that we have no ill will in the region. It is obvious already that you are monitoring the area and likely can do so with greater scrutiny given time. We shall therefore save you the effort. We will ask therefore that you hold off on telling anyone about this for 48 hours, that allows us to move our assets to the region and have everything set for the operations in mind. On hour 49 we would clear a space for a fighter sized aircraft to land there, we'll give you the specifications of the landing area. It can then place people on the ground to observe the actions of our forces. Finally King David gives his word that 30 days following the rescue of Prince Isaak the Morelanders will begin removing the airfield, unless TUNA requests it stay. We believe this should reassure you're concerns but also show our intentions are not imperialistic in nature." Dixon had no idea if these terms would be accepted but had delivered what had been requested.
