-Coronet, Executive Command Bunker-

Emperor William III is conferring with his highest ranking military advisors. Among them are IKAF general Adam Tenere, IMG general Jim Phillips, Army general Justin Harrington, and IKN admiral Virgil Tucker. They are discussing their next move against USN admiral Guy and his fleet, and deciding on their next move now that they have a good idea on the location of his base.

William III: "Gentlemen, we have the coordinates of the enemy shipyards, which are currently being entered in to our strategic arsenal. Once they are ready, I intend to launch a strike to eliminate that base, and replace it with a radioactive glowing crater."

Admiral Tucker then speaks up: "My lord, with all due respect, I suggest we reserve our strategic arsenal until we know that Admiral Guy does not have his own long range nuclear weapons to retaliate with. He has proven able to counter moves such as that in the past, and we don't want to provoke a nuclear strike on our homeland."

William III: "Well we need to strike back, and strike hard! They have just attacked two of my cities, and left my navy in tatters! Those bloody yanks won't get away unpunished! If a nuclear strike is not an option, what is?"

General Tenere: "My lord, I recommend an airborne first attack with heavy bombers and armor piercing bombs. We should be able to inflict heavy damage, and eventually cripple their defenses and shipbuilding capability."

General Phillips: "We can then either land troops, or continue to bombard it in to submission. Personally sir, I would like to see that place bombed to cinders, but my men can take it if needed."

William III: "Bombing sounds like a good option, but does the Navy have any suggestions for an assault?"

Admiral Tucker: "With all due respect my lord, but the navy is in no position to mount an offensive on a well fortified base, at least not yet. We will need new ships, and new facilities to build and maintain them. Once our numbers are back up to strength, we might consider an assault on their fortifications. If General Tenere's bombers can do what he claims, we might be able to encircle their fleet as it flees the base and destroy them then."

General Tenere: "It seems that our best option is bombing, but we should coordinate with the UAC and rest of the AIF first."

William III: "Very well, General Tenere, prepare your aircrews for the attack, and contact the UAC. Admiral Tucker, contact Hodston and tell him to arrange a meeting with the admirals from the rest of the AIF. Dismissed!"

All the advisors: "Yes my lord."
