âThe thing is, they donât take into account the public aid to Yamatoâs dead and wounded.â
â?!â
When Juno made her declaration, an audible stir ran through the crowd.
Everyone was baffled. Why should they have to shoulder the bill for Yamatoâs war victims?
As Juno was about to point out, though, that was because their conceptions of war were stuck under old paradigms.
âFighting a war in the name of equality means it canât be a conflict of aggression. It must be one of liberation. You canât fund it with pillaging like people used to. Once Yamato is free, Elm will have a moral duty to treat its citizens with the same consideration it does its own. You arenât planning on enslaving them after you save them, are you?â
âO-of course not!â
That was the obvious answer, coming from the Principles Party. Howeverâ¦
âThe problem is, the expansion of armaments youâve promised to carry out is going to drain the budget to the point where we simply wonât have the money to help Yamato. In other words, even if you win your war against the empire, Elm still wonât be able to save anyone. Iâve prepared an amended version of your budget that takes the aid and infrastructure repair Yamato will need into account.
âNow, I have some doubts about your one thousand five hundred percent projected economic growth rate, given that weâll have just gone to war with our biggest trading partner, the Freyjagard Empire, but we can leave that as it is for the moment and just take a look at the costs that will come after we free Yamato.â
At this, the man beside Juno stood, then walked across the stage and handed copies of the revised budget Juno had prepared to Tetra and her second-in-command.
âIf anyone in the audience wants to take a look, weâll be distributing copies later. However, to sum it up for youâ¦the amount of money weâd need to liberate Yamato comes out to triple our next yearâs projected tax revenues. If you force this plan through, itâll completely destroy our economy. How do you intend to square that away? The Principles Party has an obligation to the people to explain themselves!â
ââ¦â¦!â
A flicker of unease flashed across Tetraâs face at her opponentâs attack. Juno had worked as an accountant in a relatively sizable town, and she had more significant experience in this area. Although she knew on a conceptual level that waging a war of liberation would be costly, the thought that the newly liberated Yamato people would need an even larger sum of money hadnât even crossed Tetraâs mind.
The leader of the Principles Party floundered for a response. The silence in the air was palpable. She was visibly flustered. Junoâs statement had struck Tetra right where it hurt.
Nations tolerated spending vast sums of money on war because they planned on making it back through plunder. When you defeated someone in war, you got to take their land, money, and even manpower.
That wouldnât work for Elm, however. As long as they operated
