Royal Councilor Montalivet and Members of Aéroleon's Board of Directors are in Metz-Leonid this week to secure several deals with the Xsampan government concerning military production and manufacturing. Royal Councilor Montalivet, joined by members of Leonex and the Royal Directory, introduced a new front of military cooperation with the Dovanin nation. After hours of negotiations and detailed discussion, Leonex and the Royal Directory have shared several blueprint, engineering features, and detailed aeronautics regarding short, close, and intermediate range missiles with the Xsampan military. This deal comes after several security issues for Xsampa have risen in the past few months, leading Metz-Leonid searching for immediate guarantees. The blueprints and technology shared with Xsampa will allow them to build their own class of missiles based on Leonex's designs. While slightly different than Egelian models, the missiles will prove nonetheless to be quick, accurate, and deadly against all targets. While this is one simple and single showing of Altéa's commitment to the Lion-Yak Pact, it will not be the only one. It is rumored that the Royal Directory will work with Xsampa on a large naval project in the future, but sources have mixed information. Novantica anf Grupo Ortega's, Egelion's leaders in shipbuilding and design, have been summoned to a government meeting in Altea to discuss the future projects. Metz-Leonid has also sent representatives to Altea to discuss the classified project.

Beyond military news, Aéroleon, Egelion's new airline corporation, announced that several of the company's new parts and manufacturing plants will now move to Xsampa and take advantage of the boom in the new country. Aéroleon stated that plants in Egelion were becoming oversaturated with parts and new workers. The company's backlog needed to improve to bring fair conditions and hours to employees in Egelion. The country decided to move some manufacturing operations to Dovani to engage in positive deals with Xsampa and allow the company to establish a global footprint. With the expansion to Xsampa, workers will be paid fair wages and adhere to Xsampan labor laws--which are slightly better than those in Egelion. The company hopes that with the expansion, more parts and planes can be delivered to global airlines at a faster pace and get rid of the 2 month backlog that currently exists within the company. As of yesterday, an order for 10 MAX-500's from the Kingdom of Hutori began production with the order being sent to the front of the queue. The planes are set to be delivered in 8 months. A MAX-300 plane was gifted to the government of Xsampa as part of the deal between Aeroleon and the nation.
