"The position of my government is thus," Ambassador Cho began. "There have been no orders by higher leadership to violate Brymme's territorial waters, and any accusations to the contrary do not have truth behind them. All naval patrols have been conducted within the bounds of common international convention, and Arrenland is simply ensuring the security of its territory and waters. How aggressively a nation patrols its own territorial waters is not the business of any other, but the Royal Navy's operations are simply proportional to the threat faced from smuggling and other illegal activities."
Cho cleared his throat and took a drink of water from a nearby glass. A look of embarrassment passed over his veteran eyes, but it was gone in the blink of an eye. "As to the accusations regarding the supporting of terrorism, I believe you will agree, Mr. President, that evidence that is released publicly and evidence that is found are two totally separate categories. The government has not released any specifics regarding its findings because to do so would compromise national security, but the Arrenlander government assures you that it does indeed have evidence of Brymmish covert activities in this regard. The government of Brymme has been supporting seditious elements within Arrenland for some time now, and I will admit that most of that support has gone towards relatively peaceful groups and individuals. However, some of that aid has ended up in the hands of violent elements. Putting yourself in our shoes, I think you can see how you might react to such a thing.
"However, it is not the royal government's intention to incite any hostilities. That being said, the kingdom is prepared to respond proportionally and within reason to any Brymmish actions which it deems to be hostile to Arrenland or her interests."
