"Well of course, Lapu is one of my drinking buddies and he always talks about how he was thirsty for alcohol in Djerb until he drank the oghi. He said it felt like drinking water after crossing through a desert." Admiral Tamagal replied as he stood up and took a sip. "Well, it's good, but Lapu might have exaggerateda bit." He continued as the others sipped and nodded along. "Anyways, before we talk about alcohol and Lapu destroying his liver, shall we continue the discussion?" Admiral Tamagal asked before continuing. "Now, that you mention tonnage of ships and all those details, I think talking to Engineer Malano would be a better choice."
"So, 20,000 tonnes maximum for a ship? I think a small aircraft carrier could be built with 20,000 tons, or five frigates, or a few patrol ships. So I think 20,000 tonnes would suffice for you Tamorans, assuming it's in metric." Engineer Malano started as he fumbled about in his briefcase. "However, for two nations, one having an ever-expanding navy and the other trying to build their own navy in case a neighbor or a global superpower threaten them? I don't think so. So, what I propose is to extend the expansion to accommodate both our nations, with one side of the shipyard building a Tamoran ship while the other one is building a Quintelian counterpart. We can shoulder any additional expenses should the expansion require additional funding. A few Quintelian companies have also pledged to give discounts for both of us. Quintelians and Tamorans should work alongside each other, however, as a someone who has a strong opinion on the topic, I shall request that no slaves will work in these shipyards and that every worker will be paid wages."
