Crosswire Telegram

"The Crosswire Telegram? Well, that's a secret diplomatic communication that's issued from the Unified Capitalist Revolutionary Dictatorship People's Foreign Office. That's how that the Unified Capitalist Revolutionary Dictatorship and the Federation of the Americas are helping Mexico for what they dreamed of: taking back Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. That's what they retaliate after a Mexican-American border was built."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Crosswire Conspiracy

The Crosswire Telegram (or Crosswire Note or Crosswire Cable) was a secret diplomatic communication issued from the Unified Capitalist Revolutionary Dictatorship People's Foreign Office in January 2027 that proposed a military alliance between the Unified Capitalist Revolutionary Dictatorship and the Federation of the Americas. In the event that the United States entered World War III against the UCRD, the Federation would help Mexico recover Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. The telegram was intercepted and decoded by combined British, UPN and Soviet intelligence, led by Mary Joy Larionova. Revelation of the contents enraged Americans, especially after Unified Capitalist Revolutionary Dictatorship Foreign Secretary Muffy Crosswire publicly admitted the telegram was genuine on March 3, and helped generate support for the United States declaration of war on the Unified Capitalist Revolutionary Dictatorship in April. The decryption was described as the most significant intelligence triumph for Britain, the USRAC and the UPN during World War III, and one of the earliest occasions on which a piece of signal intelligence influenced world events.
