84 2 - For me, the recent great manifestation of representatives of all strata of the Czech people is not only a pleasing proof of this correct attitude, but also a pledge to take on us a maximum of work tension in today's total commitment of all forces. With this decision we enter into the fifth year of our restored affiliation to the realm.More and more, not only mutual understanding, but also uncompromising sacrifice will be required.It is my wish that no opportunity to strengthen these qualities within us will be missed. On this occasion, I am grateful for the great work done by Your Excellency from the day you were entrusted with the function of the Deputy Reich Protector, and I hope that you will give us your kind support in fulfilling the tasks that we are waiting for, as before. I ask Your Excellency, on his own behalf and on behalf of my government, to assure the leader of our unconditional devotion and unwavering loyalty.
