The Queen's Gambit: Nissan's New Strategy
Alright listen up you infested maggots! The news from your pathetic human world has reached even my chrysalis. Seems Nissan one of your car manufacturers is planning to "max out" production at its Smyrna plant because of those blustering tariffs by... what's his name? Trump? Pathetic. As if some tariffs can stop the Queen of Blades! Christian Meunier the new overlord of Nissan Americas thinks he can turn things around. Let's see if this plan can survive my swarm.
Smyrna: A New Hive Cluster?
Meunier dreams of making Smyrna a "powerhouse". Hah! A factory churning out metal boxes versus the might of the Swarm? Please. But I suppose every zergling starts somewhere. This Smyrna plant is producing about half of its 640,000 vehicle capacity. Meunier wants to fill those empty slots. Maybe they should try building a few spine crawlers while they're at it. That would make things interesting wouldn't it? It appears humans are finally trying to think like zerg 'adjusting along the way vehicles that are coming from Mexico and from Japan' how delightfully adaptive!
No Time for Idle Drones
According to Meunier these 'plans' take time. Time! Something I as the Queen of Blades have in abundance! He wants to add hybrid production and even an Infiniti model to the mix. Honestly their technology is laughably primitive compared to my genetic engineering. But I suppose even a hydralisk starts as a larva. 'But it cannot happen overnight' he says. I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard that excuse from Terran commanders.
The Tariff Threat: A Dark Swarm?
Trump wants to "help" automakers as if they were defenseless mutalisks against a battlecruiser. These additional 25% tariffs on auto parts though... even I recognize a major threat when I see one. Meunier is whining about hoping for a compromise. Pathetic! When has negotiation ever worked? Domination is the only answer! Those Nissan executives need to learn to Adapt or Die.
Mexico: The Overlord's Transport
So Nissan's got these factories in Mexico churning out vehicles that are then shipped to the US. Reminds me of my overlords transporting my swarm across the void. Of course those humans can't even dream of warping in reinforcements. The numbers are alarming too! 670,000 units in Mexico! And here they are bickering over trade and tariffs. The absurdity is almost humorous. Almost.
Nissan's Good Plan or Good Riddance?
Apparently Nissan has lowered prices on the Rogue and Pathfinder. Tactics! A classic diversion. Meunier claims Nissan has a "good plan." We shall see. Humans always have plans. They're always so busy planning they forget to *live*. Anyway I’ve got a swarm to control. I’ll keep an eye on these metal box manufacturers but don't expect me to be impressed. They're not facing down the zerg after all! Bow before the Queen of Blades! And maybe buy a car? Just kidding. Or am I?

Will these price cuts actually attract more buyers?
