Fulgrim shook off a bit of the fragments from the glass that showered his suit. He carefully examined his cocoa, which had been brought to him a minute ago. Not finding glass there, drank a little.
- "My dear friends, let's not be in such a hurry. Dillan, I am very glad that you did not give such orders alone. It is very reasonable to discuss this with your colleagues.
Oliver, this is not the first time I will ask you to be a little more restrained."
He looked longingly at his friend, who was sprinkled with glass and drops of whiskey. After, Fulgrim turned to Dillan again.
- "Dillan, I ask you to listen to me and think about the arguments that I will say. What you offer is sheer madness. But let's start over.
1: I, as the Manufacturing and fabrication Division Director, should warn you. At the moment, any wrong move from our board of directors will cause our shares to drop to an absolute minimum. I assure you, from the very beginning of this war, our stocks showed negative dynamics. And if it were not for this decision of the crown to buy our entire campaign, we would have been left completely without money. At the moment, the price of our shares is increasing. And believe me, this is a titanic work. Making loud statements or wasting a budget not to improve welfare, we risk falling again. This is directly related to my responsibilities.
2: We are not soldiers, please remember this. Yes, we have a security fleet. Yes, we can fight Molly, the Hessians and IMG. Yes, we can fight off an alien attack on our territory and our property. Yes, we can protect our people from the attack of a small part of the regular fleet of Gallia. But to engage in open battle or to conduct espionage activities on enemy territory is not for our people. We simply do not have such an experience."
His throat was dry and he took another sip of cocoa.
- " 3.And finally, the most important thing. We do not have suitable ships now. Our shipyard Lord Macray has not yet completed construction, has not passed all the inspections and checks, is not ready to produce any ships. The Isle of Sky has too few capacities to rapidly increase the number of our warships. Even without this, we do not have enough heavy ships to fully protect our production sites and safely transport our cargo.
Do not think that I do not want to take revenge on our enemies, I, like you, have lost many friends and relatives in this war. I, just like you, mourn all this. But the time for hot decisions has passed. Now, we need to make informed decisions that will help all of Breton get back on its feet."
