Hearing the Situation on the Ground

St. Petersburg Command Ops, as the Joint Chief of Staff, were discussing plans for a tactical operation that will get the embassy staff and the Grand Duchesses of the Ruthenia Empire out of the country, and also the retaliatory offensive in the case of war, Alexander was sitting on his chair, with a telephone wedged on his shoulder.

He's contacting someone close to him, the one that owes him a lot. 

"Princess Diana, thank you for receiving my call," Alexander greeted warmly.

"Alexander. It's a surprise that would call me directly and not my Prime Minister."

Diana seemed to have learned the situation at hand. Alexander smiled in satisfaction as it was the case as it will save him much more time discussing things.
