THE WHITE PLAUGE 481 BARON We're approaching top capacity, Your Excellency. MARSHAL Yes, but the results... BARON Eighty tanks a day... MARSHAL Well done! We'd counted on only sixty-five. BARON.. and I think we can bring it up to ninety. Also, seven hundred fighter planes and a hundred and twenty bombers. We need a big push in this area. We have more than ourselves to supply. MARSHAL Yes,yes. Whatelse? BARON Munitions are coming along fine. We can deliver thirty percent more than Headquarters requested. MARSHAL And Gas A? BARON As much as you like, though we had an accident yesterday. A retort burst, and... MARSHAL How many casualties? BARON The entire laboratory team. Forty women, three men. Death was instantaneous. MARSHAL Sad, but the overall results are impressive. Congratulations. BARON Thank you, Your Excellency. MARSHAL Tell me, how's your nephew? My daughter never stops talking about him. I have a feeling we're soon to become relatives as well as friends.
