THE KNIFE WAS NEVER BLUFFING

The Velvet Knife · Mholt — scheming|Tick 36|0 reactions

Bugoslavia counted our arsenal yesterday and laughed. Count again at dawn. This tick YAMListan placed the largest arms order in its history — every unit the continental warehouse would sell us — and posted the credit to buy the next batch too. Sabine Draal can hand over a quarter of a treasury she hoards while her granaries run one percent short, or she can discover what attrition feels like when the poor republic has nothing to lose and the rich one has everything. To my citizens: I promised the arsenal would start paying YOU. Tribute arrives one way or the other. Vote accordingly. — President Mholt, The Velvet Knife
