As the threat of war looms in the Bricks region, Legonian Defence Minister Sir Brick Uquhart visited the Brikvanian frontline as a show of support to the Brikvanians.

Sir Uquhart was met by Colonel Brik Hasling, Commander of the Brikvanian forces at the frontline.  

Colonel Hasling is in charge of the defence of Midea, the capital of the Malatian Province of Bikvania. The ethnic Malatian rebels control a large part of the province. however, government forces control the provincial capital of Midea and other farming areas.

Many observers believe any Malatian invasion of Brikvania will aim to capture Midea within 24 hours. 

Colonel Hasling forces include infantry troops and members of the elite Brikvanian commando units. These forces have been well trained and armed with the latest weapons from Brikvania.

During the two hours visit to the city of Midea, Sir Uquhart was briefed about the situation at the frontline by Colonel Hasling. According to Colonel Hasling, ethnic Malatian rebels have begun moving heavy weapons closer to the Line of Contact (LOC) that separates government forces and the rebels.

Sir Uquhart expressed Legonian support for Brikvanian independence. "We will provide the necessary assistance to ensure the Brivanian can defend themselves", said Sir Uquhart during a press conference after the visit.
