I will extend the belt armament.

I am glad that the draft became meanwhile completely good.
Is one perhaps interested in this draft ? ;-))))

Don't panic. China is very interested becomming a member of the satsuma. In this connection a violent discussion prevails in the Chinese government.

I don't think so, because there is still a large unresolved problem !!! I only say "Hainan Dao".
