"Supplies?" He Ao looked at old Danny beside him. "Does the city still have enough?"
"Thanks to the strategy you set," old Danny said slowly, "Kaya City has stockpiled a great deal of war matériel. We have plenty of ammunition and weapons, and our warehouses are full of mechs. That should sustain us for a while. Our factories can also produce all kinds of weapons."
He looked at He Ao and continued quietly, "As long as we can get enough raw materials, we can keep producing them. But the war has cut off our supply routes. Consortium troops have stopped the ore from Rock City, and the energy route from Wente City is down too. We've stored plenty of energy, but we can't produce these raw materials ourselves."
"What about food?" He Ao asked.
"We've built two massive food factories," old Danny said. "The synthetic starch and meat we make don't taste as good as the products from established food conglomerates like Mo Shanto, but they're cheap, and we can produce them in huge quantities. Before the war, we had nearly ten percent of the Federation's food market, using less than half our factories' capacity."
"Supplies aren't a problem for us," Lina added. "After all this preparation, we still have a substantial surplus, even though the war has been going on for almost half a year."
"That's good," He Ao said with a sigh.
"That's because your strategy was sound," old Danny said. "We should thank Christos too. If Dawn City hadn't drawn their fire at the front, we couldn't have developed this steadily. Still, we haven't quite reached what we'd hoped for. The war broke out too soon. Give us a little more time, and we'd be in much better shape."
"Getting this far is already impressive." He Ao
