"I know that a 9% overrun is a lot when we consider the budget we have been allocated but understand that with this navy, we can actually increase the economic prosperity of the empire."

This immediately intrigued the economy-minded Jagannath Mohan, Rajesh, and Vinod.

"The travel routes between Bharat and Southeast Asia, Bharat and Africa, or Bharat and Arabia would be much safer, and it would open up a lot more channels of wealth and many more markets for the Bharatiya Empire."

" Additionally with this navy, we can further control more resources in our vicinity which is a huge gain"

"Also, I solemnly promise that I will not request a naval expansion again for at least the next five years, unless we are at war with someone or if his majesty deems it necessary."
