Honorable admirals of the Kusari Koku,

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am David Rose, chief executive officer of Detroit Munitions; I do hope my company needs no introduction. Liberty has been aflutter these past few weeks with news of your recent excursions into the Taus and Kyushu, as you might imagine, and, resultantly, the actions of the Empire's forces within Bretonia have also come to light.

Detroit has been analyzing the situation for some time, and I've realized that the Empire is a great potential partner, despite the unfortunate friction between it and the Republic of Liberty in the past. As a first step towards healing the damaged relationship between our peoples, Detroit would like to offer our services; understandably, Samura is perhaps unable to supply the Imperial Navy with the equipment it needs, given the tragic situation in Kusari at present. We here at Detroit humbly seek to fill the gaps in the Empire's supply lines that have come about through this political and economic quagmire.

Of course, our services are, largely, limited to providing munitions of various sorts; it's just what we do. However, if there is especial need, Detroit is always capable of procuring special goods, particularly in special situations; and we consider helping allies in the war effort against Gallia a special situation, even if our own government is unable to formally recognize yours as one such ally for various reasons.

We're eager to hear back regarding what we can do for you. On behalf of everyone here at Detroit, thank you for your time.

David Rose, CEO Detroit Munitions Inc.

Subject: Your Offer

---

Kon'nichiwa.

To be perfectly honest with you, Rose-san, your offer has surprised us. The Republic of Liberty has so far not really been cordial with us, even if we have been fighting the Gallics together with them, even before them. This, however, at least as I understand it, is unrelated to politics - and that is a welcome change.

You did offer help, and even if this is an unusual offer and an unusual move as well, we are interested in what you have to offer. Currently, however, we feel it to be necessary to be aware of what it actually is that you have to offer. Your company might be known as an ammunition manufacturer, but that doesn't tell much of the sortiment of weapons you offer. Therefore I humbly request you to send a catalogue or portfolio containing the products you can provide at the moment.

Aside from your "normal" offerings, of course, the Nagasaki is in constant need of Medical supplies. As most manufacturers for that lie out of the effective reach of our supply corps, we would be grateful if you could spare some transports that could supply us with supplies like these.

Until then,

Gokurousama deshita,

Aramaki Hideo

Shosa Aramaki Hideo,

I'm glad to hear that you're interested. A full catalogue of our products which are suitable for military engagements and aren't under exclusive contract to Liberty's forces will be sent soon on this channel; as for other services we can provide, I admit they are limited. Detroit Munitions is what the name implies, and our sole business is the manufacture and sale of our product.

However, our transport crews are dedicated and our escort personnel well-trained; we're not afraid to ship into the middle of a war zone when necessary. As such, the Board of Directors will investigate the possibility of shipping some medical supplies to you soon. For more mundane needs, however, you might be better off contacting our partners at Universal Shipping Incorporated.

Once again, thank you for your time, and expect further information soon.

David Rose, CEO Detroit Munitions Inc.
