If it makes it any better for Norden, the ships transporting the oil and gas, should the Japanese accept my offer once I make it, will be Japanese. Why? Because it means the BBR can’t shut those ships down without a major international incident should anything further occur between the NSR/NRS and themselves. Also, the NSR/NRS can’t let it all sit there, can they? New oil and gas deposits are being discovered all the time IRL - and they don’t really use it: they mainly use solar power for their domestic needs.
