Major General Williams began to complain, "During the war, we produced a massive amount of planes, tanks, ships, guns, and various military supplies. Now that the war is over, these materials are piling up in warehouses and on desert lots, much like those planes you bought last time.
"At least those were sell able. But now, we have even more items that are difficult to sell. These planes, tanks, and warships even if we leave them untouched, the annual maintenance costs alone are astronomical."
"Recently, the government decided to get rid of them, so they set up a 'War Assets Management Bureau' and put me in charge. Do you know how much stuff we have? There are tens of thousands of types, spread across 181 storage bases around the country.
"I can sell some of the more desirable items, like transport planes and vehicles, which are indeed in demand. But who would want tanks? Who would buy fighter jets? And how am I supposed to deal with those warships parked in the harbors?"
