Dense financial statements emerged, all settling with blood-red deficits. Looking at the zeros on the sheets, everyone felt a chill down their spine.
"The Federation Government's finances are critically unsustainable, and resources are extremely scarce. Thus, we urgently need an injection of external resources.

We need to strengthen ourselves as quickly as possible, and to do so, we need resources. Therefore, considering all aspects, we must commence the far-reaching mining plan ahead of schedule."
Long Ming explained the situation in a few words.
