"It has come to our attention that in response to the
continuing problems of piracy along the Atlantic Coast and banditry around the
Normandy Reach, that the German empire intends to builds a fort at the mouth of
the Rhine.
While this would most definitely benefit our trading fleets
it does however hand a strategic advantage to the Germans. In the unlikely
event that our two nations should ever come into conflict the gateway to the
continent would be denied to us.
Needless to say, that would be an unacceptable position to
find ourselves.
My proposal therefore, is to establish an outpost on the
northern entrance to the estuary where we can maintain the security of the
British people without threatening our neighbours. "
