Metz Command Headquarters, Shire is busy with the "super defensive line" project.
Specific tasks like project bidding and material procurement don't require Shire's attention; Dejoka will handle everything.
The projects are almost all contracted by subsidiaries of the Bernard Group.
Only a few minor projects are handed to other companies, merely a few "bones" tossed out by Dejoka.
If any capitalist protests:
"Look, Shire and his company have almost taken over all the projects."
"We have reason to suspect Shire is 'abusing public power' to open doors for his own company."
"Yes, this is unfair to other companies; he's emptying France's treasury!"
…
At this point, Dejoka would open the documents:
"You call it monopoly? So why have these other companies been allowed in? They aren't part of the Bernard Group."
"Admit your mistake; your exploitation of workers is too severe, offering terrifyingly low wages."
