Virginia Consulate

A secure telegram would be sent to the Egyptian consulate in Richmond:
 
"We would be interested in arranging a meeting between our governments here in Virginia."

"We are interested in procuring a number of your Browning machine guns for large-scale issue to our armed forces. Should you be interested, you will be paid handsomely; especially if interested in selling us the blueprints to later maintain and manufacture them ourselves."

[Aggressivenutmeg]

"We would be willing to sell a number of Browning machine guns, as well as the necessary blueprints. The total cost would depend on the number of units ordered. Each Browning M1919 will cost $142."

[Hereno]

"How feasible, at all, will it be for us to continue this deal after the aggression of Procinctia against the Confederacy in Panamá? Needless to say, we are still interested in procuring these arms, and would be willing to dispatch the Egyptian navy in order to safeguard their transport to our nation. Additionally, as a token of our appreciation, Umar has authorized $10 million Confederate dollars worth of aid to assist your government in recognition of the senselessness of the attacks against your great nation.

 

As for the price, that is acceptable. Our ideal purchase would be 50,000 guns, and an additional $5 million for the blueprints necessary to manufacture our own. All in all, that would come to the price of $12,100,000."
