"Humph! These Germans are so inconsiderate! Not even a greeting, they truly disregard our Kingdom of Portugal!" Yaris said indignantly to his subordinates.
"President, what are you planning to do?"
"Do? What to do? We are just a chamber of commerce; the other side is the military! Do you intend to crash an egg against a rock?"
"Should we contact the government to deal with the Germans?"
"Do you expect anything from those wastrels in the rear? Today's Portuguese youths have long lost the sharpness of the old Kingdom of Portugal! If it weren't for their timidity, we should have risked offending the Sultanate of Zanzibar to keep the Germans out. Now the Germans have already established their power in Africa, I'm afraid all of Mozambique is no match for the Germans."
"President, it's not that pessimistic, right? We've been developing in Africa for hundreds of years, and the Germans only arrived in East Africa three years ago."
