Harabero was glad to see Chenzo in agreement and wanting to continue with discussions of Cardamine operations. If there would be one thing he could choose to grasp out of this, it would be that. Of course, as he was Maltese, Harabero lived to see the Orange Dream spread across Sirius.
I could live with seeing Bretonia as a launching pad for other operations, as our ancestors have built connections within, and a network has been slightly established, although a large market like Liberty is yet to be achieved, perhaps this could be some steps toward such a thing?
One problem stumbled across is that Bretonia is not very Profitable within Cardamine, their citizens are not as receptive as Liberty or even Kusari, and our lack of intermediaries could show problematic compared to other houses. The Gaians are opposed to us, the Junkers are very receptive and open minded, however, they are few at Trafalgar, ever since its reclamation from Gallic units. The Corsairs, obviously, are out of the picture, which leaves the Mollys as the last large scale option. Not exactly a very friendly face to be seen. They don't hate us, as we take out Corsairs, but they don't appreciate our work either.
Harabero leans in as he pauses
Which means that for now, we are left with the Junkers at Trafalgar and spread throughout House Bretonia. However, if we can find a profitable market and expansion - which after such a long and devastating war I assume there should be cracks - perhaps more would flock to join in?
What I mean by all of this is, if you and De Marco would, plant the tree, not at the stem, but at the roots. With our supervision and assistance, sow the seeds toward bringing a more... "profitable" margin and a larger demand for Cardamine, by whatever means possible and available. If not I fear they may simply reject any deals we may bring in light of the Corsair artifact trade. We can do any "watering" and "pruning" of this fledgling market afterward.
What do you think? Is there anything else that should be included?
