The image of the Empress formed before them, her words direct and spoken without pause.
"You do represent the citizens, and it is their needs that you have been neglecting. It is the lives of the non-soldier that I wish for you to focus upon." Katsuko said, a volumetric list of directives forming above the central table.
"For years you have been given the discretion to help provide direction for the military. I cannot see how you can possibly provide that, considering none of you have the experience required to make calls for the soldiers." she frowned, "Obviously in those years we have not made the progress militarily that we should have, the proof is in our current standing in the war. The deed of the soldier, and the direction of our offensive and defensive operations are to be regulated by Taisho Yui and her subordinates."
The image of Katsuko neared Roxanne, "There is no danger of me removing your power from the citizens, and on that note I will announce shortly some proposals for you to begin ratifying."
Turning away. her image flickering slightly she said lowly;, "The decree removing your say from the military may end up being temporary, we will see however if Taisho Yui can change the direction of this war first, without having political interference stall her operational orders."
"I suggest Gashmere, Essia and Ohara immediately return their Senator, or face the consequences of not having a say in the civilian matters" She wondered to herself why they would pull their Senator with a loss of say in military matters, wondering what their intentions were to begin with.
