Last week in meeting of Kraytia's War Ministry one of issues brought up was a scenario of possible enemy landings to western coast of Kraytia in event of war.
Our important ports in Kemi, Oulu, Vaasa and Turku would be in danger. Capturing of Kemi would also open quick route to our capital Rovaniemi. To ensure safety of western coast, War Ministry gave order for armed forces to begin fortifying of Åland Islands with bunkers with turrets and Anti-Ship missiles.
Combined to our navy it these fortifications would make it nearly impossible for any ships to get through the Åland Islands to Gulf of Bothnia. Project should be completed in 4 years.

(OOC: Please inform me if you take that as godmoddery, I don't know how long this kind of project would take in real life, though I think that they built Maginot Line in 10 years or less?)
