Who will sell me nukes?

After intense consultation with the ministor for defence we have decided that it is necesarry to buy the plans and equipment to enable us to produce nukes. this capability will ensure that our country remains free from the threat of invasion.
Please respond if you can provide what we need.

Green Sun offers Carr Hall 17 packs of Neutron tanks instead (About 15 tanks/pack)

OOC: Because even the big, fat, lunatic dictators and wannabe-napoleons will think twice before declaring war on smaller country, if that holds nuclear weapons.

And no, it's not as entertaining as writing about conventional warfare, but small nations concerned about their survival don't have the privilege of thinking which is "more fun to read", if they are seriously RP'ing their nations and thinking what can save their nations from beeing annexed, enslaved or totally destroyed.

Nukes / nuclear weapons are useless compared to biological and chemical weapons. Biological and chemical weapons are far more devastating than nukes because of morale loss among enemy troops when they become sick or die painfully. In addition, biological and chemical weapons can do things that nukes cannot, such as keeping cities and factories intact, while killing all organic life.

Just a 2 cent ramble from a nation tired of this trend of "I need nukes now!!!"

Nuclear weapons are WAY better than chemical or biological... Because they're more predictable. If you get a few minutes warning, you don't need to worry about chemical or biological, cos you can get suited up. Plus, they're very dependent on the wind, and can become militarily useless within minutes in the wrong conditions. Biological weapons that are infectious are far too slow acting to be militarily useful. Nukes, however, are just like big bombs... They kill people when you want them. And 'neutron bombs' can be used to cause much less damage to the structures, while still killing loadsa people...

@Carr Hall: Why not RP a Manhattan Project style doohickey? That'd be a lot more fun, and make a change from the usual sell me nukes thread...

Actually, forcing the enemy to suit up *IS* a huge advantage.

First, you cannot expect to have all your citizens in a major city or industrial center to magically don anti-biological or anti-chemical suits. Thus, your economy will be trashed when millions of citizens and civilians die.

Second, if your military does use anti-chemical and anti-biological suits, it adds cost and time lost. Every time someone suits up, it costs valuable minutes, in which I can employ other military assets such as air missions, naval bombardment, etc. What's more, is the logistics nightmare of forcing your entire army to have suits. Your logistics would be bogged down trying to bring the right suit equipment, replacement suits, scrubber gear, etc. Meaning more money and men tied up in logistics rather than combat.

Third, your combat effectiveness is drastically reduced if and while you are in a full biological / chemical suit. You can't perform as good in combat wearing bulky hazmat suits and such as you would in normal combat. My soldiers would have an easy time picking off enemy infantry waddling around in hazmat suits. The enemy will be forced to employ full sealed stuff, drastically increasing costs of command camps and such, while my military retains its full mobility and abilities, as my soldiers would be immunized towards whatever biological and chemical weapons I would be using.

Simply put, the enemy will be floundering around like fish out of the water if they suit up every time I launch biological and chemical attacks. Then they suit down (remove suits) to regain full mobility and dexterity, then forced to suit up once again when I launch another bio / chem attack like 10 - 15 minutes later.

If the enemy actually has a flexible hazmat suit, I can solve that problem by introducing corrosive acid weapons like Flourine Gas and such. They'll eat through the thin hazmat suits, allowing my germs / bacteria / gas to seep through.

27-05-2005, 00:20
Aren't your guys going to need those suits too, if they are close enough to "easily pick down" enemies with such equiptment?

If you hit enemy with chemicals and biological stuff, you can't invade it without beeing in danger by yourself, too.

Nuclears have fallout, but atleast it is consentrated in one city or area. If you spread plague, it'll spread (surprisinlgly :D ) everywhere.

Failing that, I could roll in with full NBC protected tanks, APC's, or vehicles to mow down the enemy infantry flopping around in suits. Or I could use air strikes, artillery, or missiles.

http://www.geocities.com/atlas_missile/ <-best site I think
Version of the Atlas rocket. Originally designed as an ICBM, this model was used to launch men into space. These rockets have been converted back into ICBMs, but are underranged, underpayloaded, and have little of an electronics package. They can be easily modified though, and are very cheap to replace/fix.

The D version can technicly hold up to a 1.44 megaton load (W49 warhead). It has radial-inertial guidance, and a range of 6,400-9,000 miles. There's a place on the last site that says the Mercury version had a max range of 13,000 km, but I'm not sure on that one.

He'll probablyhave full military support from several people, including me. II has been too quiet lately, I'd really like to get into a true world war. That means if you want a WMD or something, come to my government (39th most corrupt in the world MUA-HA-HA-HA!). I'm sure we can alter our production and storage records quite easily to suit your request.


You see, there's a point where we need to start international war, something that tears apart alliances and makes or breaks nations. We have to sort the strong from the weak, the great from the hot air blowers. If there is no driving force, then II will stagnate. That is why we need something big and actually start a war here. If we don't, a deadweight nation could rule over a stronger but smaller one just because of age. Without the determining factor of a large war, the NS community wouldn't evolve.

Role Playing is about winning AND loosing, knowing when to risk it all and when to horde, knowing when to press advantage and when to hide in Bunker 017 while enemy bombers fly uncontested over your capital.

Well my opinion on the matter is simple. My nation exists, and stays secure without the use of nuclear weapons, because we have an enormous missile defense system which deters nations from wasting money on launching nukes at me. Not to mention my armed forces have used the extra money from not having nukes to research superior battlefield weapons for the Marines, Air Force, and Navy... thus we cant be hit by nukes, and can easily defend ourselves from invasion by conventional means... Not to emtnion we have researched this nifty little weapon called the E-Bomb... Telegram me for details...

Transcript from a Secrret Meeting in the Lord Marshal of the Imperial Defense Directorate

The Lord Marrshal having looked at the reports of military build-up, looks to Air Marshal Carviov and says, "I want recon planes to fly over this area, constant updates of the area. Pictures of every ship, fishing boat, dinghy, even the plankton. Get everything."

Carviov bows before the Lord Marshal and steps out, as another guy walks in from the shadows. Without looking at the man, the Lord Marshal says, "Send in your best, get on the ships, and see what technologies and intelligence you can steal."

Two hours later, a squadron of R/F-317s begin their recon missions.

Farangordasch, also remains in international waters and is prepared to defend itself if fired upon. Frank Dupatzi ( naval director) has decided that having 1 destroyer and 2 frigates is not enough to defend the missile destroyer so we are sending 2 more CG-47 AEGIS Ticonderga Class Cruisers,
1 more DDG-51 AEGIS Aleigh Burke Guided Missile Destroyer,
3 SSN-688 Los Angeles Class Submarines
1 iowa class battle ship

all ships will remain in international waters. our two guided missile destroyers are being protected by the 3 ticonderga cruisers as well as the Iowa class battleship and the two Oliver Rerry frigates.
The three Los Angeles class subs are seperate and our lurking international waters till further notice.

From: Kenix Kil, Secretary of State, The Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia
Re: This Conflict

In response to growing concerns about the nation of Carr Hall seeking nuclear weapons, and the nation of No Endorse's willingness to sell them, as well as in support of our allies, the Republic of McKagan, the Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia is hereby deploying the following naval forces to international waters just off Carr Hall territory as observation/peacekeeping forces:

Two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, D.R.H. Adjudicator and D.R.H. Valiant
Three Seawolf-class submarines, D.R.H. Eviscerator, D.R.H. Redoubtable, and D.R.H. Valorous

The submarines will be separate from the two destroyers and each other, and all five craft will be on silent running conditions in international waters. The task force will not engage in military action unless in self-defense, and we will make every effort to resolve this issue peaceably unless and until armed conflict develops.

Respectfully,
Kenix Kil

The cost is still 2.5 million dollars a missile/launcher/warhead pack. Yes this is quite low, but the technology has been taking up valuable space in active missile sites. We will sell all 250 of them, and we will keep the warheads if you don't want them. How many do you want?

This means there are 250 active 100 kiloton warheads for sale. No launch packages though. The warheads are 1 million a piece

ooc: is this a decent price or do I need to go up/down? I'm mostly guessing. The price of 2.5 million is based on the 1.8 million$ cost of an Atlas D unit in 1965. It can't appreciate I don't think lol.

Indeed they are still for sale. The total cost will be 625 million USD. We are currently moving the rockets from storage to our dockyards. Transports will pick them up there and transport them to the port of your choice. Please note that there will not be a large escourt for this mission from our end due to infuriating fleet rotation scedules and the like. The escourt will be one Virginia class attack sub and one AEGIS capable destroyer.

Aren't your guys going to need those suits too, if they are close enough to "easily pick down" enemies with such equiptment?

If you hit enemy with chemicals and biological stuff, you can't invade it without beeing in danger by yourself, too.

Nuclears have fallout, but atleast it is consentrated in one city or area. If you spread plague, it'll spread (surprisinlgly :D ) everywhere.

No need for one's own soldiers to have suits. One can simply release the virus or chemical onto enemy soil and stay well clear. No need to do anything with an invading army until the area is certified clean. After all, people who are dying aren't likely to do anything to you. Yes, the biggest real problem with this is that environmental factors like wind may push the chemical or whatever into your territory, but you would have advance warning, so you could evacuate while manufacturing massive numbers of environment suits...

0500, Outside Major Port in Carr Hall

The running lights of the RMV Bradley were all off, the ship was in silent running, and no one was on it's deck. On the bridge, a few officers sat low and gazed at their computer screens.

"Sir, the shipment is at the elevator. Once we're in port we'll be ready for transport. We can be in and out in under 45 minutes. We're sending in a Seahawk advanced scout team though, to cover the transaction."

The lone Seahawk helicopter flew quickly to the port city. The air defenses here were minimal, and the helicopter flew lights out and uncontested into the area. It sat down on top of a large formation of cargo crates. It's engine went off. A sniper and an infantryman armed with standard marine weapons moved off to a formation of cargo boxes that would provide excellent cover should they need it. They watched as a sedan pulled up and the opposite governments representative got out.

Just then, the lights of Bradley came fully on. It was at the most far out point on the harbor.

An officer from Bradley in civilian clothes walked up to the representative. Then a 5 ton truck followed him up the narrow dock.

"Hi, we have the product. The price comes to $550,000,000."

In the background marines begin unloading the 5 ton truck.

The officer handed over a PDA. "Just verify your payment here and we're done."
