((Okay we have no budget, nor do we have anything to vote on. I am going to wait for TJDS to post the budget before doing anything, I feel that having a budget will be crucial to this new government.))
Though out of respect to his place was not directly mentioned, the Marquis of Niigata's displeasure at the Count of Nagasaki's plan for creating more soldiers became an open secret. While not directly moving against it, retainers and political allies have motioned the needlessness of increased numbers of soldiers in a peaceful land like Chubu.
Japan is a proud and martial nation, and it does our status in the world well for like to associate with like. I therefore propose that Japan send a delegation to Berlin, home of the most Japanese nation in Europe, Germany, in order to boost our mutual relations.
I humbly request that the Leader of His Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition consents to his son, Ryoma, being a member of this delegation, due to his knowledge of and experience with the German people.
-- Hosokawa-dono, Foreign Secretary

((Dont Forget your glorious arms bonus
))((And to clarify, a governmental position is NOT a given bonus. Glorious Victor is a given bonus, being Prime Minister is not. An Example:
[Politician]
[Minister of Education]
[Imperial Victor]
This would be how it would be setup for politicians in a position that gives them a bonus))
