ooc: Give me some constructive criticisim... I think its a good Idea.. Also mirrored in the LETI Region Forum.

*Donald Rumpsfeel steps up to his podium as he usualy does and shuffles some notecards to his right is a easel with the words AIR DEFENCE STATION written on it*

DR: Good afternoon everyone, Today, we have begun construction on our new Radar Defence and ASW Defence stations. This project, which we are calling Project Stonewall, will increase our plane, ship, submarine, and weather capabilities, *Points to easel where an aide has taken off the first page which reveals the name project Stonewall, and also another aide brings out a model*

This is what each of the 10 Stations will look like. Each Station will be equipped with 3 High Intensity Radar Domes that will be able to scan out to a range of 650 miles. These stations which are ment to compliment our AWACS planes and our ASW sonar picket fence. These bases will also supplement our weather forcasting ability, and we have already signed a deal with LETI News to buy Airtime on the radar. *Aide rolls model infront of Easel*

As you can see, these bases will be large enough to land a helicopter on for the transporting of supplies and men. The base will hold a total of 70 personal, 50 Non Commissioned and Commisoned Air Force and Navy Personal and 20 Civilian Contractors to continue maintnence on the base. I have time for some questions.... *points* You there

Reporter 1: Jan Blather, LETI News Channel 5, What is the projected cost of this project?

DR: Well they are being built on top of old Oil Platforms that we have purchased from private contractors, so that is a major cost savings for us, but we are projecting a total cost of 750 million for the Platforms and about 20 Million a year upkeep on them. These figures are for the combined cost of the project. *you*

Reporter 2: Elly Van Houten HO Channel 2, Where will these be stationed at? And how will the other nations in the region react to this?

DR: Well these stations will be built in our territorial waters. In our home waters and also around the Island of Capatillo. This will give us early warning to anything in the region and also first warning towards any outside threat. Also if any of our allies are intrested, we will either build them in their territory and keep them under our control, build them and sell them at cost of give them the plans, we also have plans for exporting these as well. *looks around and sees the only remaining hand is brokejaw* Ok what do you want?

Reporter 3: Tom Brokejaw NBC News.... What is the Status of the HELO Project?

*Gasps can be heard coming from the room, some of the older reporters clutch their chests, most everyone is standing there open mouthed*

DR: Well....... Umm... Yesterday, the HELO Landed safely after completing its mission, and at the moment is in the process of the two week turn around. We expect it to go off without a hitch.

TB: WHATS WITH ED AND LAURA!!!!!!!!!!!!

DR: Gets a disgusted look..... just when I thought that you might be ok..... *Rumpsfeel walks off the the right and out of the conference room

(ooc.)You realize that the way that is built is highly unstable in strong storms. The real US version collapsed and killed the whole crew.

OOC: Yeah I know, I watched the show last night about it... only platform 4 actualy colappsed but it was doomed from the start, when they where towing out the platform legs, a bunch of stuff snapped on them and decided to instead of repairing it right and then building the rest, that they would build the platform then fix it. (The other 3 platforms where built at shore and towed out like an oil platform is) but these platforms, the legs will be better constructed and will be thicker colums of steel and concrete., besides, we are in lake erie, no 30 foot waves... :-)

As long as you know, I advise that you still improve the structure.

We will have our engineers look into the strengthening of the the support legs. Thank you very much for your advice. If you wish to send some engineers to us to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Sierra Pampa’s Defense Force would like to inquire about the possible of construction several of these platforms at our naval yards. We would are willing to provide our construction services to fulfill your own orders and provide payment for the plans and technical assistance.

Sierra Pampa, We would be very intrested in joint colabaration with you. At the moment we are looking at strengthening the supports on the platforms, if you would like to send some structural Engineers to assist us we would be greatly appreciated, also when we beging actual construction, we would welcome your construction crews to Edenstein, and we would also provide crews to your nation to assist in building your own platforms. I hope that this sounds reasonable.

Your offer is reasonable, your platform technology and experience for our platform technology and experience. A explain of our platform technology:
