Antwerp Airport, Shire met with Albert I and Colonel Edison in the conference room.
Shire had no objections to their idea of forming an elite force to collaborate with the French Army, though they faced issues of different equipment and inconsistent ammunition, just like the British Army.
But Shire was doubtful about Albert I's "Airport Guard Unit" suggestion: "This seems unnecessary, Your Majesty. We have our own guard unit, and the airport is quite secure."
"No, General," Albert I replied, "Many people still do not know that Antwerp Airport has been converted into a military airport. When they are stopped by guards, there are language barriers, which I've heard have caused you considerable trouble."
Shire was taken aback; it seemed this was indeed the case.
Belgium used Dutch more frequently in the Antwerp area, often leading to unnecessary misunderstandings.
Albert I then added:
"Using Belgian guards would eliminate these problems."
