Quote:[Nov, 4th 5604] Presidential Palace
Sladek snubbed out his cigarette in his golden ashtray and picked up the ringing black phone next to his bottle of 54 Bourbon.
"They are ready to enter Comrade Sladek at your command", Sladek replied "Allow them in"
Within a minute armed presidential guard escorted in 4 representatives inside the dimly lit office, adorned on both sides of the red carpet were walls with oil paintings of Sladek giving glorious speeches, factories, and heroes of the war. The representatives belonging Black Beisa & Sato who'd flown express into Kaesama straight from the Yeud communities walked in slowly, wearing typical business attire and carrying briefcases. Sladek hadn't really bothered to read the dossiers, he only remembered the last name of one of the leads, Keshef. A vulgar backwater name compared to Kundrati standards, but the value they brought with them he could stomach for the reward.
Sladek stood, "Welcome, I thank you for arriving on such short notice, I believe you will find your accommodations very suitable, if theres no questions I would like to get straight to business." One of the four stepped forward and Sladek motioned for him to take a seat. The representative non-chalantly speaking in the speech of one who'd been to dozens of high profile meetings began laying out the basics.
"On behalf of the Kundratis Yeudi's and representing our respective corporations, we are glad to have arrived safe. We have with us the following documents proving our association, and the basic plans for the first test silo. We are pleased to offer our expertise to the Kundrati state in its goals, and hope they will further the efforts of aiding Yeuds in combating foreign aggressors."
Sladek took the documents in hand and glazed over them; Specifications for width for long range missiles, heat resistant materials, tonnage of reinforced concrete, and many other architectural matters. "How long until they can be operational."
The representatives looked at each other expectantly, adjusting himself the man in the seat spoke in a hushed tone. "We cannot give specific figures on when they will be complete, but we can assure we will be working day and night with your officials to ensure maximum efficiency in achieving operations."
Sladek grimaced, the sooner the better, at least within whatever years he had left, he sipped his tumbler. "I expect you would indeed, the site you proposed was within a vulnerable region, new sites have been allocated to Lirnak where penal labor can be adequately allocated, I want weekly reports and know I am in contact with your bosses, do not disappoint me, regardless of your affiliations should you fail you will not be given leisure in leu of any unpredictable setbacks."
"We understand your concerns President Sladek, once again I reiterate we will not disappoint, I suspect you've already allocated requested funds?", Sladek waved his hand, "Yes yes your bonuses have been paid, if theres anything else?" Standing up and gesturing with a respectful nod the dignitary turned about and walked out with the others, Sladek lit another cigarette and began signing papers for the 200,000 laborers needed for preliminary efforts.
