[center][b]Offer to build a pre-dreadnought[/b][/center]

After reviewing a recent offer sent by the Honnerian government, the current minister of foreign trade and diplomacy, Walter Scholte in't Hof, gladly accepted the deal. Official statements on the topic seemed to be entirely focused around the payment for the task, rather than helping out Honneria. He was even clear as to state “this is a simple business trade between two nations, nothing more and nothing less.”

Nations such as Deltora have already begun looking into the guns production, and in an attempt to further their relations with Deltora have gladly accepted the offer to supply their army to. However they made it clear that this deal can not be discussed further until the weapon has begun production.
