Minister for the Navy, beaming, to Finance Minister:
- Excellent news, van Vrijspender! Can you belive it Old Chap, that the Naval Attaches managed to acquire some 115 thousand tonnes of old ships from various countries? For 45$?
CHOKING SOUNDS

[Korpen]

Hu?

[The Rock Doctor]

With friends like this, who needs the Swiss?

[Borys]

Now there, Vrijspender, Old Chap, I know you're as excited as I am! And you'd never had guessed where they found those ships! Well, me, Naval Minister and all that, and I didn't even know some of these darkies had navies! You know, Liberia sold us two of their three patrol boats! And ...

If you buy up crap from the Mesoamericans and Peruvians, I'll send you a "Thank You" card...

And if GC will forward the address, each of the States of the Confederacy will send one as well.
Anything that trims up the DRM's fleet makes my sailors smile.

*Counts a bit more"
Superb, keep it comming :)

If the Dutch cannot afford that much, then some of the more other tonnage should be spread around, or held until the next year.  Unless the nation in question might like to finance a scrapyard at compedetive rates.  But then you also have to get the ships to their destination...during a war.

The Netherlands can afford it, we are not the ones to back down on our promisses.
And so far moving ships around is no problem in the Atlantic.

[The Rock Doctor]

Hell, I'd buy some of that myself if it were too much.  I did have a standing offer out, after all.

No NS warships in the North Atlantic or Med.

I also had a standing offer out... don't forget me.

You pay less! ;)

So lets get the concerned ambassadors in line, and the Netherlands will start writing contracts ASAP.
