Description[?]:
| Members of the Assembly, I believe we have dodged the question long enough. We need to create a truly united military. The backbone of the Augustan Empire was its armies and if we fail to emulate that, then we will crumble to foreign forces. I know I may be speaking dramatically, but I cannot express the urgency of this situation! Along with this proposal comes the reintegration of the Executive Military, the Emperor's personal army. Dedicated to protect the Empire and it's values, domestically and abroad. --- Mateo Amiko, Representative of Unkaso 32nd District |
