"Hmph, your navy is only benefiting from the budget advantage, while our army soldiers live like livestock, eating nothing but coarse grains at best. You spend every day indulging yourselves. Even if we don't mention the navy's equipment issues, if your meals were the same as our army's, we wouldn't be targeting the navy like this!"
Despite such words, the conflict between the army and navy is fundamentally a struggle for governmental power. The army's predecessor was the Sakai Domain, while the navy's predecessor was the Chōshū Domain. In ancient Japan, similar to the Warring States Era, nations were constantly at war, and both the Sakai and Chōshū domains were pivotal forces in the Meiji Restoration. They united against the more powerful Shogunate, but after forming a new government, prior conflicts persisted.
