"Indeed the situation is troubling, but I believe it can still be salvataged. The threat of RIM can be a catalyst for you and the other factions to lay down the arms, at least temporarily, against each other. We can help in defusing the fear of both the WPR and Kai Fa, but the same must be done with Sedunn and the hardliners in the Empires, otherwise the possibility of negotations will remain at large". 

"It is an assessment that I do not share Minister Hunt. Kai Fa's decision to send ground troops has unfortunately opened pandora's box within our own government and emboldening our more irrational counterparts. You see Minister, it is not the fear of the WPR or Kai Fa that spurs the opposition into action, but their wounded pride. The Empire would have been able to continue to plausibly deny that we have allowed you to help the WPR scrape by against the RIM. However, much like the RDC and their more foreign backers before them, accepting ground forces of a foreign state is something that the Empire cannot permit. Our Offensive would have deliberately allowed the WPR breathing space and time to consider rejoining the ceasefire without conditions, had they not moved so unexpectedly and invited in foreign ground troops. However, because of the WPR's and Kai Fa's irrational actions, I'm afraid we will be forced to move to expel the Kai Fans and take the WPR stronghold before they unintentionally 'invite' more dangerous nations like Ryccia. That being said, Minister if you believe you can salvage this mess, I'm all ears."
