ANTINAYAPXOY APXHGOY
My dear Mr Venizelos
Taking into consideration
that a Battlechip can be
built in Great Britain
in under 2 years + that
in France it takes at least
3 years, would it be possible
to substitute other requirements
such as floating docks,
oil ships, &c for a battleship
+ have these built in France
making a total value equal
