Office of the Economic Minister

[PinkyGen]

Thank you glorious Economic Minister.

Comrades! Our treasury is the envy of even the most decadant western robber barons!

You guys have any special requests? Seriously, caravans included, I have around 8 million rubles in spending cash per turn. I could raise the Luxuries and Science allocations I suppose, but I want everybodys input on what to do with such an enormous financial windfall.

Comrade Minister,

I would love special attention payed to Orel, Belgorod, Kursk and Kharkov, with the aim of preparing an unbreakable defensive line (first 3 cities) and a Su-122 laden counterattck force (Kharkov) for the upcomming summer offensive believed to be at Kursk.

The 76mm AT guns are rather cheap.

Perhaps all the commanders could use more labour brigades to erect fortresses for protection on the advance into the Reich. Also to clean up any road gaps that may exist (I know I have a few).

Other than that, Katyusha Katyusha, Katyusha. Oh, how her sweet song fills our troops with joy!

-Vasili Kleshnikov.

NW front, February, 1943.

No requests, but always feel free to sprinkle rubles on my front...

If a thread can feel lonely for want of posts, then this thread is seriously contemplating suicide.

what's the status of markets and banks on russian cities? and of oil refineries?

would it be worthwhile to up luxuries in order to get celebrations? or too much extra infrastructure is needed?

No $hit!

Well if there are any reinforcements to move up to the Fronts, the NW front is getting them all since they are the only ones that posted there desires and needs here this turn.

NW front requests a new dacha on the crimea filled with many beautiful ladies.

This thread is for requesting rush buying in ones own cities, surely moving up reinforcements has nothing to do with it?

Isn't rush buys in non commander cities up to the armaments minister+the economic minister? (rather than commander+economic minsiter)

Besides the lack of requests can probably be interpreted as the economics minister doing a good job on rush buying in our cities on his own. Atleast that's why I don't post requests (ie, the front isn't in an urgent need for rush bought reinforcements but is happy to receive whatever the economic minister feel fit while doing his turn). As I recall I've gotten some units without requesting them bought the last few turns.

I have around 10 million Rubles in pocket money per turn, after the vans. Since pinky is basically the only one who posts here, that leaves me with around 9.99 million Rubles to spend on non-requested speed-buys. Its next to impossible to spend all this cash in one turn, I cant just let that stuff pile up ya know.

For March '43

Anti-Tank Defenses in kemi and Turku

Fishing Fleet in Helsinki

Try and finish any heavy units in my cities. Thanks.

Requests for March 1943.

Many thanks for the dacha, it is such a shame I must be at headquarters with my armies. But when this unpleasantness is behind us and communism rules the world, then I may retire to my dacha to live the last of my days with women, song, and vodka.

1. SELL the coastal fortress in Wittenburg, it serves no purpose there.

2. Buy Katyusha in Neustralitz, disband a Red Guard if need be.
If you wish to spend extra in my front, change production in Wittenburg to a katyusha and buy it.
