Your Majesty, My Lords,
As we are all aware, these recent weeks have been very chaotic and political matters have been in constant flux. Indeed, the subject of the hour is the proposed war against the vile, evil, wicked, cruel, sadistic infidel swine Arabs.
As it is, good sirs, we must look to our coasts. Our east, our great port region, the oldest area of Spanish culture, is ever facing a great and mighty horde over the waters. The Egyptians, as we all know, have built for themselves a compact and mighty empire. They have made the Persians vassals and have achieved naval dominance over the seas.
As we are also all aware, the Egyptians are suspected by some of our diplomats to have close ties with Arabia. Indeed, there is the looming possibility of a Mutual Protection Treaty between those two nations. Egypt wants a toehold on Bob for their expansion, and Arabia needs all the help it can get with two other civilizations bordering it to the north and the south.
The Arabs need Egypt, and Egypt would do well to support the Arabs.
To be frank, what frightens me and what frightens many other members of the House of Lords is the possibility of the Egyptians lending naval and land support to Arabia in case of war. The Egyptians have a lot to gain from such a venture. With our offensive troops up north in the land of the Arabs, our east coast is vulnerable. Landings near Giant's Crossway could easily snatch even Madrid itself!
In a while we shall have Knights and Medieval Infantry and, with God's help, we shall be the most powerful nation on Bob. With such a force, the destruction of the Arabians may well be imminent. However, with the Egyptians in the picture, we shall also need a navy.
We have few galleys, we shall need more. A group of ships must be ready on our coast to protect against any Egyptian landings. This is imperative to our survival.
Another option lies in Carthage itself, the land of the Legomen. They are incredibly frightening, yes, that is so. They are made of plastic, have goofy smiles, and can attach themselves to their homes. They don't have hair, and parts of their body are detachable. However, they also have a powerful navy.
Soon, God willing, we shall have a Mutual Protection Pact signed with them. We should also ask them for support on our coast against the Egyptians.
A fleet of Lego ships along with ours would dissuade the Egyptians from making landings. A blockade could keep them away, and powerful warships could sink their vessels from under them. Without naval supremacy, they are powerless against us.
I therefore suggest that a naval pact be signed for a force of Lego and Spanish ships along our east coast to protect our sea flanks.
Also, I suggest that our military spending on the coast be allocated to building galleys until we feel we are strong enough against any naval movement on the part of Egypt.
Our future may be at stake here.
I trust that, with God's help, and with our clear judgement, we shall make the right decision regarding these matters.
