Lord Frost Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 1st class private mail to :Emperor Triyun II From: Taro Amari, Minister of the Internal, Head of the Agricultural department I apologize that the Emperor himself has not contacted you, but he feels that to be an effective minister, I must take the initiative for matters pertaining to my ministry, indeed my department. I pen this because I wish to lease a portion of the Northern Manchurian Co-Prosperity Zone for the purpose of Agricultural development and research. As you can imagine, We have limited space, even with control of Enkaido, and even less since the southern isles are not in our hands, for agricultural development and research. This co-prosperity zone provides us in the opportunity to research new and better ways to produce crops, and to be honest to increase production in general. Hoping for a positive response, your friend and allies Taro Amari, Minister of the Internal, Head of the Agricultural Department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
