Colonel,

Enclosed, you will find a copy of [REDACTED], regarding the current doctrine and practises of the [REDACTED]. The Central Military Commission has requested that these methods be studied and that tailored countermeasures be devised and tested, with the intent of providing a programme for dissemination to units in the field.

To: Marshal Sun Liren, Head of the Military Affairs Commission

Phase II of the Modernisation Programme has been approved by the Legislative Yuan. That includes that stuff the joint Army-Air Force board's been working on, which I'm still not sure I understand. Blame the coalition. Every time I come out of an Executive Council meeting with the Widow, I can't help but feel dumber.

From: Marshal Du Yuming, Premier of the Republic
To: Marshal Sun Liren, Head of the Military Affairs Commission

The Legislative Yuan has passed an emergency funding bill for the replacement of combat losses form Operation [NATIONAL GLORY].

I have forwarded your outline regarding [REDACTED] to the Executive Yuan, but speaking for myself, I expect that will be a matter for the next government to deal with.

0600 China Standard Time, January 23rd, 1967
From: Song Qingling, Premier of the Republic
To: Marshal Sun Liren, Head of the Military Affairs Commission

The Executive Yuan has reviewed and signed off on the budget submitted to, and passed by the previous government.

Note that from now on, such proposals must be properly notarised and indexed. I know you soldiers have been sneaking funding for your pet projects where you think I cannot see them, and I know my predecessor let it slide because he was more concerned with his credibility as a soldier than his competence as the head of the Republic's government.

From now on, we do things properly, and if your generals want funding for [REDACTED], then they'll have to ask for it, properly.

-Song Qingling
