Lubska has already amassed twenty-two thousand rifles. Aimone has procured some two million rounds of ammunition. Rancais has started work on the Liovilier bombing craft, Mirage numbers they now count at seventy. Panzer production has reached seven models a week from the Stukk Plant, we're having one roll off the lines everyday now.
We expect to double those numbers by the end of the week.
And double it again by the end of the month.
