Egelion

[Louis]

The Royal Directory of the Armed Forces announced that Egelion has purchased several vessels from Amudim in a massive 6 billion Crown deal to bolster the Egelian Armada and significantly weaken Amudim's global projection. The deal involved a total of 10 ships, all mainly given to Egelion at a discounted price. The ships included two Ambitionsklasse Flugzeugträger Aircraft Carriers, four Nekama-Class Cruisers, two Parmentier-Class Destroyers, and two Ontiveros-Class frigates. These vessels, according to the Royal Directory, will be sent to naval bases in Cartablanca, Yadraz, and Libertaria for modernizations and repairs. According to Royal Councilor Montalivet, who oversees matters of the armed forces, the ships "after exercises in the North Anantonese" were found to be at 80% of their original capacity. The Royal Directory will be recommending several upgrades to the ships to ensure they can be at their full operational capacity so that they can be put into service by the General Headquarters of the Armada. Upon their modernization, these ships will be rearranged with the existing first and second Armadas in order to create a third Armada fleet. It is unknown where the Armada will be based, but experts believe there are deals in place with "nearby countries" to house the armada.

Royal Councilor Montalivet, who was on board the lead flagship of the Northern Armada, the R.A.E. Don Martin Colosa, stated that the 6 billion Crown payment for the Amudim vessels would not go to Amudim, instead, they would be sent directly to Xsampa over the course of 5 years as a direct payment of reparations on behalf of the Yeudi states. Royal Councilor Montalivet stated aboard the ship: 

Amudim no longer has any business dictating world affairs, directly or non. We cannot trust the city states of that region to bring about a sense of direction, when they are completely responsible for the perilous state of global order since their attacks on Metz-Leonid. We are clear in our position: a collection of states that come from the Beiteynuese nation CANNOT be allowed to possess weapons that would bring forward danger into our world. We could not trust them then, we cannot trust them now. We have taken their technologies to safeguard them from bringing on any more danger in our world. From the smallest patrol ship to the most advanced ballistic technology, we cannot allow Amudim to continue their streak of meddling and their tendrils of danger any longer. Altea will not tolerate Amudim's final attempts at global relevancy.

Montalivet stated that direct payments to Metz-Leonid have already begun. He claims that the "purchase" of these ships is a win for the navies of the world and for overall global security. With the Migrant's Pass currently under global tensions, it is imperative that the Yeudi states do not inflame the situation more than it needs to be. The Anantonese region remains more secure and vigilant knowing that Amudim has been stripped of its naval projection and placed safely into Altea's grasp. "It is like taking away a dangerous tool from a child", says Royal Counilor Mondragon. "We can sleep well knowing Amudim cannot threaten our region, let alone any other region abroad."
