Such a build up would not go unnoticed.  The logistical requirements for enriching that much uranium was massive (see the Iranian nuclear agreement) with the requirements to get the break out capacity for one bomb being in the tens of thousands of centrifuges, the requirements for enriching enough for such a large arsenal being astronomically more than that.  This build up would not go unnoticed by the Imperial Intelligence service which routinely monitored tactical indicators for strategic intent, among them increases in purchases on the global market place needed for centrifuges, increased underground construction, Uranium mining, purchasing, and reprocessing, and ratios of uranium mined and purchased to nuclear power used in homes and public nuclear power reactors (the logic being nuclear power profit margins being already so thin, constructing a peaceful power plant underground making no economic sense).  The net result was, as the Drakans decided to move towards break out Tianxia was stepping up its reconnaissance of the Drakan Units.  Additionally, as Draka had yet to test an SLBM or ICBM, Tianxia began studying its rocketry facilities, construction facilities, and areas where warheads could be mated.

After seventeen years of service to the state, Elvira Naldorssen announced her retirement from active politics. "These will be my last two days in office.", the Archon stated in a published memo to the Archona Press. "I have achieved a lot, and I have made my fair share of mistakes. I just hope I will be remembered for years to come."

[Schism in the National Party]

 

The apparent discovery of a restarted nuclear program and subsequent United Nations embarrassed members of the Drakan National Party. The moderate members of the party, which represented sixty percent of the overall group,  issued a formal letter of complaint to the Archon. "As leader of the Drakan National Party and Archon of the Dominion, we look to your wise judgement to lead this nation. This news of a secret program has disappointed us greatly, and we have suffered a major embarrassment in the realm of foreign affairs.", a prominent leader of the National Party stated. "It is quite evident that change is needed, or we shall suffer the same fate as those before us."

 

While the moderates planned their course of action for the upcoming elections, the hardliners declared full support for the Archon. "Our descendants from Africa, the Sith and Germania would applaud the Archon's decision. Every nation has a right to defend itself, no matter what some chinaman has to say."

Tianxia warns any attempt to move forward with the development of nuclear weapons or their vehicles will only bring harm on Draka.  Hardliners will only bring Draka into a standoff with the world community it cannot win.
