Unusual dinner

[Bakamono]

Nagata opened his mouth as if about to speak, then his features shifted to display his internal choice to change what he was about to say “You have all seen the recent rise in tension with Liberty and Rheinland, I believe we have to best prepare ourselves for the worst eventuality. At the least I foresee tariffs on liberty goods increasing, which will affect our import of firearms.
As you may be aware, the failed attack on the arch featured a lot of automated, armoured defences. Coupled with the increase in artificial intelligence life-forms and cybernetic beings, I believe we need a specific solution, namely, the Daumann shredder. Its depleted uranium firing mechanism will make short work of any armoured target. If we buy from Daumann, I think we could also make use of their 20mm 1200 series to take the strain off our less muscular officers.

To execute the Sakoku policy we require additional materials for construction and containment of the device. Specifically - industrial scale superconducting magnets, particle accelerators, diamond anvil cells, High threshold Heat-sinks, etcetera.
And of course, to accelerate rebuilding of the fleet we require even more materials, more construction droids, and preferably modular constructed parts, at a greater rate for assembly.

I see all of this as important because, according to tactical forecasts, there is a high probability that there will be an invasion of the core within the next decade. I expect it within the next five cycles. I want our fleet at strength, our contingencies ready, and our civilians armed – prepared as well as possible for invasion.” the mans speech stopped as he observed the arrival of his dish and Sakamotos tea, and breathed deep of the aroma before beginning to consume it eagerly. Whilst eating, he grunted as if requesting comment.
