That is completely impossible given that my turn was a secret and that I had to give it out. Secondly, this is impossible given the Thai navy is going through international waters. Third, you cant just do that without explaining the situation and violating Thai waters.

Finally that is an act of provocation that the Ottomans, Americans wont take likely.

Plus how would you even know this diplomacy legitmatly and how can you act so rapid? "Completely impossible?" I think we'd be able to see that there are Thai and Ottoman ships passing through our waters. The furthest distance between any parts of land involved is about 250 kilometers, which would be well within our territorial waters, and most passages would be visible from both sides making it nigh impossible for an industrial cargo ship to pass by unnoticed.

And as I mentioned before, you are nowhere near international waters. As you can clearly see here, the entire blockade lies within the territorial waters of Burma and/or Indeonesia. Your territorial waters are cut off by the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which Indeonesia bought. You have no way of reaching international waters without passing through Indeonesian ones first. As shown here in my excellently illustrated drawing, your only potential option would be to sail up through Chinese or Japanese waters, which they won't take kindly to due to your publicly expressed hatred of the Japanese, socialism, and the Internationale as a whole.

Lastly, how are we violating Thai waters or provoking other nations? All of our ships are staying inside our borders, and your ships have to pass through our waters to leave. We don't want your ships in our waters. It's as simple as that. We are in no way attacking Ottoman or American rights.
