"Ordnance such as you describe is not prohibited, and with proper deployment should be quite effective against the massed feral attacks the Cult likes to use-"

Gladstone smiled as Barnaky’s tone smoothened over, the abomination was unlikely to have been completely pacified by his own change of tact, but if an outright confrontation could be avoided, then all the better. The High Elders eyes and ears noted the entrance of a gaudy suited man, the Vegas representative if he recalled correctly.

"-I'd love to hear more about your capabilities in these fields, especially in tactical air support."

His attention returned to the Midwestern Brotherhood’s leader at that question. He considered the question, before cautiously replying.

“Whilst our vertibird capabilities number roughly six Vertibirds of now fully operational capability, and plan to produce more, the Western Brotherhood has invested in more readily secured and easily produced prop aircraft. Specifically a force of fifteen A-1 Skyraiders for ground attack, as well as three B-17s for a dedicated bombing role. We have a range of anti-infantry and anti-armour systems ready for usage.”

Gladstone paused to wet his lips.

“However, should this war last into next year, we should have jet aircraft in service in a tactical and strategic role. Such development is necessary considering the ease of constructing rudimentary anti-air capability against prop aircraft by raider elements. In addition to this, our scribes are building on pre-war experimentation with precision guided bombs should a decapitation strike become necessary in the event of usage of civilian elements as cover.”

Turning away from Barnaky once he had finished, Gladstone addressed “The King” as the man called himself.

“Mr, King, I would be pleased if our nations could come to an arrangement concerning an irritant to the both of our lands. It is my belief that an entente between the Western Brotherhood, Vegas and the Legion should be formed to both contain the NCR and deter it from any future acts of aggression. Would you be open to such an arrangement? And of course, the reopening of trade between our lands would also be on the table as well.”
