บท 1035: Chapter 777: Five-Year Shipbuilding Plan

```

"Minister Thomas, isn't the Ministry of Defence's naval construction plan a bit too extravagant? Even if we don't consider the country's financial situation, do we really need to build so many warships within five years?" In the Administrative Court, Prime Minister Raul incredulously asked as he looked at the shipbuilding plan report submitted by Defence Minister Thomas.

Prime Minister Raul was aware of the collapse of the Naval Limitation Treaty, and he understood that Australasia must join the naval arms race in the upcoming years and enhance the country's naval power as much as possible.

But the problem was that the naval construction plan submitted by Minister Thomas was too exaggerated; it was a massive plan the likes of which Australasia had never seen before.

"I hope you can give me a proper reason, otherwise, you can go persuade the Cabinet and His Majesty yourself!" With annoyance, Prime Minister Raul said to Thomas, who seemed unbothered.
