Numbers matter, ... The Chinese obviously believe that numbers matter because they're turning out submarines like sausages. The Chinese are definitely on the winning end of an arms race.
We're trying to do this so we can work closer with the Valley of the Moon district, so we can just exchange bottles instead of everyone having different equipment. This will be a big advantage for us and them. The standardization of equipment is very important,
Grab this day by the neck and kiss it.
Life is a game, and it's much more fun if you play it as your own game, so stay light and loose and relaxed.
