Winters shifted the topic, "But I can help you persuade Mayor Wooper or Mayor Selvit."
"Oh?" Colonel Berny scoffed coldly.
"Not only can I help you persuade the Steel Fortress Council, but I also have a better proposition." Instead of stating his demands first, Winters actively offered assistance, "You want to recruit the unemployed for training to provide them with sustenance and prevent them from resorting to desperation, am I right?"
Colonel Berny neither confirmed nor denied, gesturing Winters to continue.
Winters asked unhurriedly, "If it's just about providing the unemployed with a piece of bread, why insist on military training?"
Winters Montagne was not an experienced administrative official, but he indeed had some minor work experience in Iron Peak County, accruing precious successful experiences.
