Governor's Office of East Africa, the spirited Governor Friedrich:
"You are all the finest graduates of the Austrian Military Academy, with some of you even breaking the school records with your outstanding academic achievements.
However, that is not enough, as the finest generals are forged on the battlefield. The Empire loves peace, so there aren't many wars for you to gain real combat experience.
Now, there is an opportunity for you to get a taste of the harsh realities of war ahead of time. It does come with some risks, and participation is entirely voluntary.
If you are afraid, you can choose to withdraw now."
Being here is already proof enough. If one were afraid, they wouldn't have joined in the first place.
Pleased with everyone's demeanor, Governor Friedrich softened his tone: "Very well, since you've chosen to join this mission, once you leave this room, you will no longer be active military personnel of Austria.
