Port City Casablanca

July 2, 1942

9:00 AM

Lafayette is leaning back at his deck mounted MK-110 57mm Bofors Naval Gun, as he looked at the Building with French design where Clemenceau resides. He's just leaning there contemplating about his conversation with her.

Clemenceau straight-out rejecting Azur Lane proposal of letting her join the Alliance. She reasoned just like how she reasoned with the Sardegnan Envoys that is also convincing her to join Crimson Axis.

"Is there any means of getting her in our side?" Lafayette asks without even braking his gaze at the building.

"There is one... But, that is against our plan." Duke of York said feeling sorry for the guy.

"Use of force is prohibited in Azur Lane Alliance against any Nation that is not welling to join." Valiant added.

"What else we can do then?" He asks again.

"It is up to you, you're in charge of this diplomatic talks with her." Valiant responded.

Lafayette sighs and hits the MK110 Naval Gun with his head slowly. "There's nothing we can do. She's determined to stay out in the conflict between Azur Lane and Crimson Axis."

"Iron Bloods fleet will be here this noon, and this whole Harbor will be bombed to oblivion." Duke of York said.

"Which are the nearest fleet we call for help, in defending this Port City?" Lafayette asks.

"Most of the Royal Navy Shipgirls are in Pearl. The Home Fleet are not available as they were busy protecting the Royal Isles. The other remaining Fleet are guarding the Overseas Bases of Royal Navy. Currently the navy is organizing a small detachment to assist us, but that would also take time to prepare and reach us."

"What about Eagle Union? Can they sent a small Fleet to help us here?"

"Most of the Eagle Union Fleet are on the Pacific conducting operation against the Sirens. The Atlantic Fleet are busy protecting the East Coast of Mainland Eagle Union. The other smaller fleet are currently protecting the shipping line between Eagle Union and Royal Navy, even if we manages to get a help from them. It would take them another 12 hours to get here."

"Lafayette held his temple and grunts. "Shit! Leaving this place and return with sufficient force will take time. Or hold off the up-coming attack until reinforcement arrives."

Azur Lane is not gonna let Morocco falls in Crimson Axis, if Morocco falls in Crimson Axis hands. The Crimson Axis could blockade Gibraltar and Alexandria from the Strait of Gibraltar.
