With the mere mention of supplying them, Braun at least made quite an effort to make his cough audible."Ah-! Enfield, if you'd not be too hasty... While you might be committed to supplying state approved groups so easily. The military has to maintain an upstanding reputation unlike you." Braun picked up the pen and took an equipment manifest folder from Enfield with haste. "The military can't conduct supply runs ourselves. Although pardon my assumptions Herr Benito and Varela, public opinion can't be swayed in a whim. Let's just say that while the Buro find it casual to run with a bad history, the Rheinwehr will find it quite difficult under pressure from the masses." He pointed to the map of the network of sigma-systems, giving off quite an unpleasent huff. "And with this...! I don't think my organisation will be able to spare much. Mr Enfield, if you're going to assist them with materials, thats fine by me. But I can't afford to hand what little we have left over to them." He didn't seem happy with the upcoming situation, calming down for a moment before he could bring himself to speak again to the two diplomats. "I'm sorry... But with our current issues internally, we can't afford handover's of equipment to external organisations. We'll be happy to assist you against common enemies, and also give you a good word within the Bundestag..." He twiddled the pen in his hand as he sat contemplating what he would bring up in the republics hall of elected governments, questioning his future actions. "I will, at least give a good word out for you too as part of Rheinland's security council... Hopefully that will be a big step to sway the Bundesrepublik your approval"
