A man in the General Staff
With the help of an easily bribed man in the General Staff of our enemy, we have secretly laid open the war plans and placement of enemy troops. Our spies have yet again proved their worth.
Due to our excellent spies, our espionage activities are carefully hidden and sealed from both enemy and allied eyes alike. This has proven very useful in the past, and will surely be especially useful in the future.
