Toshinori listened closely, enjoying his cup of tea while doing so.
"Kusari's interest and claim goes merely as far as your expectation for a Tau-23 as buffer zone. The Treaty of Rishiri enables a free and full access to our Keiretsu without worries about the Gallic corporate rivals. Naturally, Bretonian corporate access is nothing we wish to limit in any way. Neither does the Kusari Empire desire to actively send the Naval Forces or Police Forces to Tau-23. " He went silent for a brief moment. "Regardless, your stance regarding Gallics in the Taus is certainly a stance we can share. Let us return to focus on Tau-31 and disregard the lack of constitutional changes on your side for the moment.. as it appears Tau-31 and especially the Crayter Republic will remain our main point today."
