"Military purchase? How do we have the money to buy warships from the Sherman Empire now?"
Edwan's exaggerated expression was vividly displayed by the 3D projection.
"Ming, have you gone mad? At this critical juncture, we are implementing the royal bailout plan. Finances are incredibly tight, the treasury nearly depleted by public welfare. Father won't allow me to use any more of the royal assets, and most of them abroad are real estate, difficult to liquidate in the short term!"
In the captain's lounge of the Star Patrol Ship, Yang Ming placed his feet on the table, leaned back in his chair, and said earnestly, "If we have no money, we can seek a loan from the Sherman Empire."
"That would add unnecessarily to our debts; their interest rates are terrifying."
"No, Edwan, you must start planning for this now. The trip must commence in three days, staying in the Sherman Empire for at least half a month."
Yang Ming's tone was very firm.
