{{quote|''"The utter ignorance of the Greater Good and Heavenly Will, and the foolish idea that a large-scale war would never happen, brought us into this situation: corruption among overseers, industrialists and even the lowest worker have led us fall behind on schedule. Not only did we not produce the necessary amount of ships, they also lack the quality to battle our opponents. Not the Battle of Carala Bay - where our zhu fought honourable - has destroyed the Navy's reputation (to the contrary!) and power, but it was the lack of decency among those responsible for the Xindao Program who brought these failures upon us."''
