Fourth Quarter of Eighth year of the Emperor Taisho report of Japan.
Submitted by Nakamura Shoda to the Shogun. Taisho 8 Nen 12 Getsu 31 Nichi
Tokugawa-dono,
Attached is a list of the 4th quarter of the Eighth year of the Reign of Emperor Taisho.
The budget of the Imperial Navy for this year was 3.5 billion yen. A total of 3.491 billion yen was used of that total.
Your loyal servant and secretary,
Nakamura Shoda
PS: It has come to my attention that a special colour will be used for the Empress’ Island Hopper which could, in my opinion, be a very dubious one. Though I have not heard which exact colour, knowing my sister, it will be one that is not appropriate for a ship that will be built under the laws of the Cleito Treaty.
======================================
Factory assignment:
Of the 25 factories available to the empire, Factories I to XV are used for the infrastructure (fixed for the year) for 1.5 point plus the extra 1.5 for fixing the factories for the year for a total of 3 points in the final quarter of the year. Factories XVI to XXV are assigned to produce materials to be used in the warships for a total of 10000 tons in the quarter.
