AMERIKANER-SHIMAZU TRADE OFFICIAL
July 11, 2019
Open trade between the Großreich of Amerika and the Shimazu Empire has been established by the Amerikan Minister of State for Asia-Pacific and Shimazu Ambassador to Amerika Yamaha Hiroshi at the Amerikaner capital of Wesbeiden, ensuring safe official trade. Tariffs have been accepted and agreed upon by both sides, much to the welcome of the Shimazu's top businessmen.
"I'm glad that trade has been opened up with Amerika", states Mitsubishi CEO and Mitsubishi Clan head Kenichiro. " Amerika is a healthy outlet for Shimazu products and we hope that we take an important role in helping our friend grow in North America. Here at Mitsubishi we have prepared for sale aircraft and cars of all kinds in addition to military hardware, all ready for the great frontiers of wherever Amerika pushes."
" S&B takes pride in exporting the Shimazu essence", exclaims S&B executive Sasae Abe with a smile. " Our tropical spices will add a new bang to the Amerikan palate."
Ito-en chairman Watanabe Ike added, " We're also on the bandwagon of exporting the Shimazu brand. Our selection of tea will wet Amerikan chirps and expand into North America through licensed tea growing, of course."
The Empire's top businessmen definitely agree on one thing; this trade agreement will bring more economic opportunity to the country. The Imperial Court's agenda differs away from economic matters, though.
"The Court looks forward to this agreement strengthening our relations with Amerika," quipped representative Shimazu Norisuke. "Allies are needed in this age of imperialism, as most countries in this world go for the gold and glory. The Empire cannot fall behind in this race, and we need to grow as fast as possible. To be big is to be safe and prosperous."
