Imperial Office: Announcement regarding the Military Reform of 570AER

A majority of the political landscape have decided that they can support a proposal in the Imperial Parliament concerning a reforming of the Imperial Military. The main topic of discussion are the change of procedures and approaches within the military regarding the point that removes the Chief of Staff's options to not accept orders especially from the Imperial Chancellor.
A minority of members in the Imperial Parliament has criticized this error in this new reform, a remark which His Imperial Majesty has also seen.
His Imperial Majesty is convinced that the current military function and process in relation to military orders etc. in the General Staff and High Command are the best solution if the alternative is the aforementioned reform. The current process has never been a problem for the Empire's military capabilities and abilities to make a functioning defense and attack - and if there has been any challenges with this process - then it has not been the Imperial Government which has recieved a reminder from the Imperial Office but rather the military officers.
Our military tradition is based on an equal understanding between the Imperial Military and the Imperial Government on that the military should listen to the Defense Ministry and the Imperial Chancellor. But it is imperative that the military must be allowed to reject complete absurd and insane orders that does not account for military and civilian issues. Just as it is the Imperial Crown's right to do so.
Let His Imperial Majesty be the Empire's great Father, let the Imperial Government and the Imperial Parliament be the Empire's Managers and let the Imperial Military execute Military Plans and so on.
The current process in the Imperial Constitution guarantee stability, a functioning equal and respectful cooperation between Crown, Government and Military and ensure that the Empire will always act in the best spirit as protectors of world peace.
There is a need for balance between an Empire's bureaus, government agencies and military departments!
His Imperial Majesty has also been confirmed in this view by senior military and political figures, experts and other groups.
Therefore, His Imperial Majesty will not accept this new reform because it will bring our stability and traditions in danger!
His Imperial Majesty therefore use his constitutional right to not accept this reform.
