136 Chapter 136: Request to Buy Armaments

"Your Excellency, we understand the current situation of your nation, and we're not against a reasonable price increase. However, doubling it seems quite excessive, doesn't it? We have a good relationship with the British Empire, and Australia also has excellent ties with the British Empire. I believe we and Australia are natural friends. I hope your country can make some concessions on the price of mineral resources, which the entire Island Nation would appreciate." Yukichiro Tamura slowly broached the subject.

Even though the Island Nation could bear double the price, this did not mean that Yukichiro Tamura would not negotiate for a lower price.

If they could further reduce the price, it would indeed be good news for the Island nation's finances.

After all, the current state of the Island Nation's industry, military, and warships could only be maintained by belt-tightening at all levels.
