A piece of news swiftly circulates through the building of the Charlemagne Navy Department.
At first, it was just discussed briefly in some offices. Soon, even the guards at the gates knew what was going on.
To rekindle the protracted naval disarmament talks, Ymir plans to send Saintess Ji Ai'er as an emissary to Lutèce, hoping to facilitate a comprehensive arms reduction agreement between all parties.
The naval officers were all taken aback when they first heard this news.
Although they were not professional politicians, the navy, being a technical military force, is quite sensitive to political matters. They knew quite well the likelihood of this rumor becoming a reality, and they also knew that their initial plan to wait for Albion to reluctantly agree to the "70% tonnage" or impulsively start a war out of embarrassment had likely completely fallen apart. After entering the war mode, the vessel construction race with the enemy was completely off the table.
