"And look at the navy. See this footage they shot? A perfectly good aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer fleet, and they make it look like a big fishing boat out for a spin with a bunch of smaller ones. They even paired it with a picture of a customs house from two hundred years ago. Something about 'staying true to our original mission' and 'striving for more.' Between the lines, it's all just, 'We're out of money!' and 'If you don't pay up, we could even lose to Zhu Country!'"
Su Zhou, the Minister of the New World Exploration Department, criticized this behavior for a bit, then nodded and said, "We can't be outdone. First, we hype them up. We'll hype up those mysterious organizations to high heaven. Then, we'll cry poor. For example, our rapid response teams lack the proper equipment, we're severely understaffed, and our leader is just some inexperienced young punk. We urgently need tons of high-tech, cutting-edge equipment to maintain our advantage over the enemy!"
