[Easthaven I]

OOC:
lol. I was just trying to field an army bigger than everybody, that is pretty much one of the advantages of the Soviet Union. Except maybe for China.

[GeneralTacticus]

OOC: icarus: Currently I control Somalia & Ethiopia plus Nigeria. In the rest there are guerillas operating tot ry and take control there as well.

Germany - Diplomacy:

To world: Germany will also attend the non-proliferation conference.

Germany - Production:

Continuing German advancements in electronics have or are yielding many new applications, largely military: excellent communications systems, new sensors (including night vision &infra-red goggles), prototype cruise missiles and smart bombs, and various other uses. Implementation of these advances will take 2-3 years to complete.

With Germany seemingly on the brink fo war with Egypt, the government has approved a massively beefed up miltiary budget, with the increase mianly going on R & D and procurement. The main projects thta have been approved:

A new jet design from Messerschmidt, the Me-18, which incroporates even more advanced ECM measures, along with a number of new stealth innovations, and which is designed for both interception and ground strike missions, capable of performing both with exemplary effectiveness. This project will be complete within three years.

A new tank design, taking note of the new Chinese one, which is similar in oncept but employs better electronics, and is to be equipped to fire several new tpes of shells to penetrate the heaviest armour (an ECM shell, which will create a burst of energy strong enough to fry the tank's computer systems, and a concussion shell, which is designed to cause damage by making the enemy tank vibrate strongly enough for thing sto come apart, not to mention leaving the crew somewhat dazed). This will be complete in 4 years.

A sustained program for the devleopment of cruise missiles and smart bombs, which is expected to on indefinitely; workable models of both should be available within 2 years, and they will be available for large scale use within 4.

Finally, the German Air Force is to be upgraded in size to Imperial over the next four years, using all the enw equipment that is now under development.

Germany - Economy:

Due to numerous events which have brought great wealth to germany, the economy has now expanded to Grand world Leading - i.e., no-one else is even close.

Germany - Military Actions:

German special forces troops ar enow operating in Zaire in support of the rebels; the area has almost slipped out of Egypt's control.

[foolish_icarus]

The Indian military, in order to finish off the Iraqis, is steaming towards Madagascar. India's military construction yards have been ordered to produce large quantities of materials and the training facilities are operating at full capacity. In terms of technological sophistication, reasonable advances are being made, specifically in long range missile systems and related air based combat systems. While many people have voiced that this does seem to be overkill, the operations continue unabated.

[GeneralTacticus]

Germany - Military Actions:

Zaire is now completely out of egyptian control, and has been declared an independant republic under German protection, along the lines of Turkey and Iraq. Elections are to be held at some unspecified future date once hostilities cease.

Polish citizens in Florida have moved into the United States, and are continuing to consider themselves Polish. These people are not paying taxes to the U.S. and are demanding that Poland bring in military forces to help defend them.

Germany - Diplomacy:

To USSR: We invite your nation to join the European Free Trade Pact.

[Metaliturtle]

What countries are open? Goober and I fixed our single-name problem, and will both be participating now.

[GeneralTacticus]
