They do not yet know the heavy price paid by our brave fliers in the Rafale squadron. The pressure to resolve the Jersey Crisis in France's favour has intensified, and the Government has decided to remove the root cause of the problem. The President has authorised OP BAGUETTE, the seizure of the Channel Islands. This decisive act will restore French honour and force the British to beg us for fishing rights! The Channel will be English no more! Two fresh Rafale squadrons have been moved to Landivisiau - use them to control the skies over Jersey, then attack any British surface forces in the Channel. Move your Mistral task force into Jersey waters, and conduct a coup de main by sending ahead marines by helicopter to seize Jersey Airport in advance of the landing.
