Medinat Dpt. attempts to assuage concerns by Davostag and Selucia
August 5472
Yishelem, Beiteynu - The Head of the Medinat Department Sneakyeth Avodi confirmed in a press conference earlier this morning that the Beiteynuese Government was indeed in contact with Davostag to explore military related scenarios. However, Mr. Avodi instead focused on responding to Rikspresident Wilhelm Jörgen's earlier statements on considering the Kohav's issuance of an Azhara to Kasaema as a threat to Kundrati's own sovereignty.
We applaud Davostag for standing firmly and clearly in support of its ally; this is what alliances actually look like.
On behalf of the Homeland State of Beiteynu, I would like to assuage the Rikspresident's concerns that the Azhara is a purely defensive doctrine issued as a response to something Beiteynu considers threatening to the Yeudi People and or their interests.
We simply had no alternative - we had no intelligence and no communications coming out of Kasaema. Despite Kundrati's recent precarious decisions in enforcing maritime security zones and arming up anti-ballistic weapons systems, they were a 200-year-old ally 5 minutes ago; they are even a signatory of JAMS.
Imagine our surprise when their naval fleets began descending to Selucia, a state for which we have the outmost respect and have continuously honoured their neutrality and choice to steer away from the MSCO, for more than 150 years now.
Relations with Selucia have always been amicable; and we have never involved ourselves in their business, even when Deltaria rerouted Kundrati away.
It is our hope that we continue to maintain our channels with Davostag, since Kundrati has withdrawn.
When asked about the state of the Beikun Alliance, he responded in a raised tone:
There is no alliance.
We would have accepted Kasaema distancing itself or avoiding directly answering the mutual defence clause, just as N&D did, of course.
But, what we can't accept is having to worry about our sovereignty from our own goddamn ally!
Mr. Avodi also remarked upon Bannerhafen's recent decision to distance itself from Yishelem:
While we do understand the precautions from our allies to the north, we have been reassuring them to our outmost ability that the Homeland State of Beiteynu does not maintain nuclear weapons nor is it looking to attain any kind of nuclear weaponry.
Beiteynu will continue to defer to Bannerhafen's tactical command insofar as the Migrant's Pass and the JAMS agreement are concerned.
In attempting to confront the additional unknown variables from Kasaema, the Beiteynuese Naval Command decided to maintain the patrolling position of the Tafsik CSG northwest of Selucia towards the Migrant's Pass, also re-tasking the Kasari CSG to the north of Badara, both as flanking deterrents. Although reports are currently conflicting due to the extreme levels of alertness on 3 fronts, it seems that the Kasari CSG engaged and damaged a commercial vessel that was later recognised as part of Harrington Company's fleet, a Lodamese shipping conglomerate; these reports however remain unconfirmed due to limited information.
Evidently, the BNC's decision to split 2 CSGs from the Esh Carrier Battle Group currently engaged in the Sea of Lost Souls proved fatal.
When confronted by multiple journalists about the devastating loss of the BEINS Reshout (Authority) aircraft carrier, he deflected:
[..] we're at war, we're at war.
