<Warhammer: Starting as a Planetary Governor, Three Hundred Years Behind on Taxes> was now being serialized to rave reviews. Don't miss it!

In just three minutes, JARVIS anonymously sent conclusive evidence of steel fraud across the entire United States military fleet and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries relabeling products to scam money into the inboxes of every major media outlet worldwide.

Overnight, the internet exploded.

The front pages of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BBC, and Reuters were all dominated by the same headline—<United States Navy Has Used Fake Steel to Build Warships for Thirty Years; Dozens of Main Battle Ships Could Snap in Half at Any Time>.

Twitter and Facebook crashed outright. #UnitedStatesMilitaryTinCans# and #MilitaryIndustrialComplexOutOfCongress# shot to the top of the trending charts, surpassing a hundred million views within an hour.

Navy families blocked the Pentagon entrance, holding signs demanding a thorough investigation into warship safety.

Retired veterans collectively spoke out, demanding that those responsible for the fraud be held accountable.

Even Wall Street was thrown into chaos. Defense stocks plummeted at the opening bell, wiping out more than a hundred billion dollars in market value in a single day.

The moment the scandal broke, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries headquarters held an emergency press conference livestreamed worldwide.

Before the cameras, the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and a group of executives bowed at a perfect ninety degrees in unison. They spent three minutes reading an apology statement to the cameras, without offering a single substantive promise of accountability or reform.

Just one hour after the press conference ended, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries announced its final disciplinary measures:

Two executives in charge of the steel business resigned to take responsibility, then transferred to cushy positions at group subsidiaries.

All board members received salary deductions of one to three months.
