[i]"Liberté, égalité, fraternité" - French Republic's Motto[/center][/i]
[i][b][u]Paris, France, January, 2, 1950.[/i][/b][/u]
Auriol was in shock with the hate towards the France in Indochina from the communist nations: Soviet Union and China. We are protecting Indochina, which we are sending a fleet for the Marine nationale under the command of Admiral Michael Momo. As for the troops, they will arrive at Hue, Annam in a week under the command of General Raymonde Barbosa. We also received major news about the rebel army, they were attacked near Red River Delta, which were defended by the French garrison. The rebel army had around 2,000 troops while the garrison had 4,000 troops, they opened fire as they were crossing the delta and most fell back and opened fire. But at the end of the day, only 300 French soldiers died while 921 soldiers from the rebel army died; the rebel army was going to Viet Minh and take it. This is a major blow to the rebel forces and to prevent any more attacks, we plan to build a fortified line from Hanoi to the Gulf of Tonkin. We also plan to improve the towns and cities' roads, houses, school, and many other things after this fight ends. We pray for the dead French and the rebel army's soldiers and hope their families recover from the losses. While Indochina is becoming a war zone, events in Poland lead to Auriol to cancel the leaves of French military personnel to protect West Germany as United State and United Kingdoms have done but will send 11,107 active troops to West Germany. And back at home, defensives and troops have been on the high alert and active troops have increased from 100,000 to 200,000. It's also still waiting for responds to the letters Auriol send.
