No Brakes

[Eva-Beatrice]

The Witch Council continued to monitor the situation, switching back and forth between Chinese public broadcasts and Rokkenjima's own. About a third of the Rokkenjima Armed Forces was on standby in the event that the Council decided to enter a state of war with China. Eva sighed, looking over at a different monitor. "Crestia, how are things at the UN?" Crestia rolled her eyes, wearing a completely unamused expression. "They're useless, as always." Eva nodded. "Figures. Nevertheless, we appreciate your efforts. Continue to do all you can. Looks like we're going to have to take things into our own hands." The monitor switched feeds, this time to Commander Satan of the Rokkenjima Armed Forces. "Hey, Maou, what's the status on our new toys?" "Well, thirty Ether Rings have been completed and are awaiting testing. Development of Ragnite bombs, tank shells, and missiles have been completed and tested, awaiting mass production. Ten new battleships have been constructed and equipped. And fifty starships have arrived, safely entering our airspace. This brings our total to fifty-one." Eva thought to herself for a moment. "I see. And what's the progress of that?" "Right, the current progress of the carrier is sitting at 20% completion."

Eva looked around at the members of her council. Ange cleared her throat. "While we could do quite a bit of damage to China with our current numbers, I believe we should wait until the odds are more in our favor. We've seen that our naval patrol in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea has been quite effective, and we have no reason to stop China from colonizing other continents. I suggest we withdraw our ships from Singapore and the South China Sea and instead use them to prevent China from colonizing eastern Russia." Eva looked around for everyone else's thoughts. They all seemed to nod in agreement of Ange's proposal. Eva turned back to the monitor. "Did you get that, Maou? Give the order to withdraw our naval fleet from Singapore and the South China Sea, and have them reinforce our fleet stationed at Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. Make sure no Chinese ships get through." Maou nodded. "Understood, ma'am. And, what about Esdeath and Alciel?" "We'll continue to secure our entire border with China with ground forces and airships. You may tell General Esdeath and General Alciel they are free to return. Also, see if you can get our military development team to work more efficiently. That is all." Maou saluted. "Yes, ma'am!" With that, the screen switched back to Crestia Bel. "Suzuno, inform the Security Council of our decision, if you would." She nodded. "Of course." The screen switched off. Eva sighed. Gaap spoke up. "Still, this was a step in the right direction for us. Ulaanbaatar is secure, our navy is about to get even stronger, and our space defenses increased drastically." "I suppose you're right there." Eva said as she looked at the files on her desk.
