"Now you are speaking softly Mr. Juncker, trying to please me as I have told the truth. Although from your words, I had been advised a while ago that the National Security Council and the Cabinet had voted that we will unilaterally move those islands closer to our coast and continue the operations to the designated area for Phase 2. We will agree as long as we will be given commercial access to the Kiel Canal which serves as our main trade route without any disturbance. That canal decides the future of our country and we want access back as soon as possible. And here is the variation of a treaty proposed by my Cabinet which had been wired just a while ago." said Simon before presenting the draft via projector.
