August 6, Wang Zhong at the Equipment Committee's desk, saw the daily paper from the Empire of Prosen delivered by the intelligence department.
The front-page headline featured a picture of Admiral Erwin gazing at the Shallow Draft Gunboat decorated with the Prosen and navy flags.
The photograph's resolution was very low this age, compounded by the printing quality of the newspaper, making it difficult to discern the extent of damage to the gunboat.
Wang Zhong studied the image for a long time but could not figure it out, so he shouted, "Vasily, come translate this... oh..."
Vasily had gone to school.
So he changed his request and called his chief secretary and national dignitary Gabriel, "Uliyanovna, find someone who understands Prosenese!"
Soon, a female clerk who understood Prosenese was summoned to Wang Zhong's office.
The clerk looked very nervous, continuously adjusting her clothes and hair as she entered the room.
