Hello, Herr Hiyashi. I suppose it's you... I'm Armin Schultz.
Armin gets off the bench and to handshake, but he's greeted with a bow by Takao.
Let's get down to business... shall we? I suppose Herr Takahashi told you why I've requested a meeting? Well, let me inform you as well.
I have asked the Samura to build a specialized ship hull for me. A resistant one... powered by the largest reactors you have around. I haven't seen it yet, but I was told it's powerful enough to rival a Kusari Naval Forces war ship. All good, having a Battleship hull furbished at my disposal. However, there are two issues at hand. One, I need to be allowed to take it, under it's own power across the border, legally - but this doesn't concerns you.
What do I need, is to get aboard that. Also... what's a battleship that can't fight? I'll need your assistance, mr. Hiyashi, to get the ship outside of the drydock at least, and to get Kusari weaponry on it, at most. If that is not "legally" possible, I know you have connections in Kusari. Please direct me to a private contractor who can... arm the ship for me. Of course... for the right price.
