One of the B.S.A.A. representatives stands up, continuing to hardball. "The nation of Nigeria has the world's seventh largest population, the 26th largest economy and one of the greatest deposits of raw materials of any country. Give us something better."
The Nigerian rep removes a kerchief from his coat pocket and mops his forehead. He talks quickly in perfect English, apparently panicking.
You must understand, I've already exceeded the maximum amount appointed to me by my principal! At a later time it would most assuredly be possible to increase your funding- The Chad diplomat, who had remained silent the whole while the discussion had loudly gone on, stands up so suddenly he startles the entire room into silence. He's a hard-faced man with smooth, dark brown skin. His dusky brown hair is cropped short and his suit, while cheap, is immaculately kept. His eyes closed by the sun, he appears to be always squinting. He speaks softly, but very clearly in French, his voice projecting throughout the room.
[The Republic of Chad offers to double the amount of helicopters originally proscribed. A second squadron of ground attack choppers in addition to the transports.] The Nigerian ambassador emits a choked sound, but the Liberian official is undeterred.
200 recruits! He shouts confidently.
5 million! And a shipment of heavy weapons for your men! That's my final offer!
