Listening intently to what his peers had to say, he would have visibly shook his head in disagreement to the comments made by Florentin. Although his eccentrism was out of place in the chamber, Félix had become accustomed to those like Florentin from his experiences as a younger man on Orleans. Regardless he opposed his peers wishes to expand the food industry on Marseilles as he spoke almost brashly...
While I am sure the people of Orleans would be happy to need to compete with the fishermen of Marseilles. I cannot help but wonder just how much of it will reach the people of the planet rather than the Corse. It was somewhat of an open secret that those gangsters muscled their way into controlling the planet during the brief confederacy regime.
I think our peers would rightly see that investment into Orleans, and the return of soldiers specifically from our emerald gem of Gallia would be more prudent of an investment.
In contrast to his tone in speaking to Florentin, the matter of defence of the realm was one which he tried to no involve politics. Still he took a firm tone as he spoke on the matters of mobility versus stationary.
We would be better served by boosting our inventory of military ships to act as our defences rather than the construction of border fortresses. While I could be persuaded to see the use in such stations, I feel the need for the Union is to rebuild our lost strength and then capatalise on our military production capacity to ensure we will not be threatened again.
