To Fleet Admirals Hale and Ralston, Robert McKay, Secretary of State for Defence, and Lord Edward Marlborough, Chancello

[DarthBindo]

Are you giving up?
Because all i'm hearing are excuses.
You can sit there and kick the sweet bejesus out of Rheinland all you want, it won't matter a pair of dingo's kidneys when Liberty implodes on itself and there's gorram rioting in the bloody streets because the economy's collapsed.
I've already had to shut down half of Furyoku, and only by the grace of God did our stockholders keep their cool.
If the rest of the station becomes untenable, because, contrary to your opinion, we are fighting an actual gorram war just to keep Okinawa supplied against the Hogosha, I'll have to shut it down.
Do you know how Sirius will react to that?
It will be an economic panic.
That cannot happen, and unless revenue picks up again and the trade ships and their escorts start flowing back to Okinawa, it will.
Hell, there's already muttering in the streets about the ridiculous fuel prices, and Liberty's GDP has dropped almost 15% since prices began to rise.
I have an ironclad agreement, the sovereign word of the Emperor of Kusari, that if Bretonia stops using Liberty weapons, the embargo will come down.
That's hard. Kusarians don't go back on their word without committing social and political suicide.
All it takes is one little word.
Yes.
