Lost and Damned

[sable]

Enzo stood up and watched the group.

"These are very reasonable concerns of yours and I will answer you."

He took a step forward. "Bien sur, the design will have to be impoved as it is possible. But there won't be many changes. About les weapons...well, the ones who will "lend" us their shipyard will also show us how to create our own turrets, ou they will provide us with ones. C'est the least problem."

Enzo did not notice any protests or comments....he proceeded

"We will not be able to get the components, atleast not as fast as we need it, oui. So, I agree, we need to replace the more "advanced" parts with more common ones. And to compensate the loss of quality, more plating would be needed."

He cleared his throat, looked around the room, then spoke up again..

"Les Maltese surely never have constructed a Gallic vessel, bien sur. But it won't be them who will build it. We have more then enough workers, the only thing we need is the shipyard. We may be able to produce many smaller ships with l'argent, but,i t is time to face the truth mes amis. If the rumours are true and the Core Worlds will be opened soon, les Royals will get a lot of reinforcements. Their miliary presence will be far bigger, and bases like Montbard won't be attacked 2 or 3 times a day like now, but much more often. We will need capital ships who can actively defend our most vital points, and make sure our hidden bases stay hidden."

He took a sip of water again, tired of his long speech. "It was clear that this time will come. We have reached a level of wealth that we must protect, and just think of the core bases. We have no idea about the situation there, but I can tell you one thing: If we will not build these capital ships soon, we will all be doomed."

"We must make sure we will make it through the harsh times that will come. Pour la Legione, this is it, are you all with me!?"
