In this interview, we talked to Captainteach the High Admiral of the Masiva Navy. We talked about the Masiva Family's relationship with ONE and the Kingdom of England. This interview will also give an idea of ​​the future relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of England.

*Thank you for your time. First of all, could you introduce yourself briefly?

I'm Captainteach aka Vercingetorix. I lost my mother during the birth and my father at a very young age. I have spent my whole life in the Sanjak of Bursa, Ottoman Empire and I am thinking of living in Bursa for a longer period of time. While I was interested in politics and land warfares before, I decided to improve myself in the field of seafaring after joining the Mâsiva Family. That's why my name is Captainteach.

*What could you say about Masiva Family? I understood that you are dealing with seafaring. So what kind of seafaring activities do you perform? What is the place of Masiva Family in Ottoman politics and military?

Masiva Family is a family that continues its political, military and economic activities in the Sanjak of Bursa, Ottoman Empire with its nearly 30 members. Our family, which has strong connections on domestic and abroad, follows the Balkan geography closely because our family has a say in Ottoman politics. Our priority in politics is to manage Bursa Sanjak in the best manner and get along well with our neighbors. Perhaps we have the most strategic and easiest to defend capital city in the world. For this reason, we have developed ourselves in maritime. We are the most important part of the Ottoman military. Because we have armies sealed by Wallachia. Also our family has a lot members. Our activities at sea consist only of increasing the quantity of Battle Carracks we own. Because we are more interested in the administration of Bursa. Our future plans are to form the great Ottoman Navy and to use this strong navy actively.

*You said that your armies have Wallachia's seal. What kind of relationship do you have with Wallachia? Is it possible to talk about ONE when you say Walahia?

I can say that as the relationship between Walahia and Bursa Sanjak or between ONE and Masiva. I and my friends have been doing politics in Bursa for a long time. Our friendly relations with the ONE started years before the establishment of the Mâsivâ Family and over time became an alliance. After the establishment of the Mâsiva Family, these relations were continued and they were adopted by all Mâsiva members. As we currently have military and economic cooperation, our political views and enemies are also common. It is because we have common enemies that cause us to be allies. To give an example of the relationship between Wallachia and Bursa, ONE built its warships in Gemlik(capital of Bursa) port because it did not have a suitable port. On the other hand to avoid the cost of prestige, we use the Wallachia seal in our armies. It is possible to multiply such examples. In short, the alliance relationship between us is as it should be. Also, I think that the continuation of this relationship will benefit both ONE and Masiva.

*It is known that ships belonging to Masiva Family played a role in ONE's attack on Sussex County of the Kingdom of England. Why, as Masiva Family, did you attack England, which was far from the Ottoman Empire? Do you see England as your enemy? How would you evaluate the future of relations between the Kingdom of England and the Ottoman Empire?

Although we do not have a backward-looking hostility with England, because of the dispute between England and some of our friends from north, ships in Sussex ports were attacked. We took part in this attack because we are part of the allied fleet. As far as I know, there has been no contact between England and the Ottoman Empire for years. It happens every 10 years for countries on two different sides of the world to conflict together, and it coincides with us.

*What is the organization or state that you refer to as my friends in the north? Could the Kingsman Clan be one of them?

I do not want to answer this question if possible.

*Well, thank you again for the interview.
