Today, Constantinlian engineers discovered five of Urcea's old basilica bombards. The basilica bombard is a large nuclear cannon; Julius Nero, the emperor, has led numerous basilica bombardments in his lifetime, and may lead quite a few in the future.

These "Basilica" cannons are of interest to the Ministry of Defense. We have queries regarding this "nuclear cannon"; does it fire nuclear shells, or does it employ a nuclear charge to fire a powerful shell, much like the defenses our intelligence agents have reported around the borders of certain hostile nations?

Signed,
General Nora Kasagawa,
Minister of Defense

This fires a nuclear projectile of sorts; it can be used in all sorts of ways, for example, I am using them for border defense.

Skgorria officially mocks you for your unoriginality - we had Project:Godhammer comissioned several years ago and now the nation is ringed with atomic artillery.

So far, it seems to work :p

I do believe sir, we, the Urceans beat you to such a way to defense.

However, we'd like to purchase a few of these guns off you.

The Kingdom of Crookfur congratulates Constantinalia on obtaining a capability most of the world has had for almost 50 years and di away with because it was only slightly pointless, the congratualtions are doubled by the apparent perfect timing of the "discovery".
Of course Crookfur also wonders how long it will take the Constantinlians to conveniently discover a few orbital weapons systems lying around...
