OOC: For the record, I had a full combat fleet at the Bosphorus due to the events in the last update, while the update seems to assume I do not, so I will assume that, for some strange reason, the ships decided to abandon their positions and allow the Germans through, then moving back to chase them.
The French Government regrets this unfortunate incident, which has dire consequences for French oversea holdings, and has decided to:
1) Order an immediate inquiry as to who disobeyed official orders resulting in German naval movement being allowed through the Bosphorus following the German attack on the French Merchant Fleet, and to find out responsibilities for the engagement of the German Fleet in the Suez Canal.
2) Make financial help available to the United Kingdom, for the removal of the obstructions in the canal.
3) Issue an apology to all those affected by the severance of the Suez canal, with the exclusion of the German Empire, who we deem to be the main responsible for the severance of the naval passage through the Suez, and other nations currently at war with France.
