You have made your proposal to the cabinet. They don't want to risk sending a former minister to Zatalia. They feel that the President of Zataliais very unreliable and pro-hijacker. He might decide to hold the ex-minister as a hostage.
One member of the cabinet knows a colonel in your army who is a close friend of the Zatalian President. He suggests that this colonel should open secret phone negotiations with the President of Zatalia.The cabinet splits 50/50 on this suggestion.
What are you going to do with your casting vote?
