New Storefront under Construction - Need assistance

06-01-2004, 23:14
This storefront will be fronted by myself, the Trade Advisor to Axe Weilding Maniacs - General Joe Goldstien.

We require partners to assist us in the production of armoured vehicles, the production of millitary arms (such as rifles, ec), and the production of Aircraft.

Due to the size of Axe Weilding Maniacs, i also have a little under US 1 Trillion to play with in the construction of this storefront, and will be able to assist any partners in increasing the potential output of their War Machines. All nations that assist us in the storefront will be allowed full access to the markets of Axe Weilding Maniacs, and there will be no restrictions placed on the price, or number of goods they export to us. All nations in this Conglomerate will be able to recieve any products produced at 50% discount (virtually at Cost Price). Regions of these nations will also recieve a 10% discount, and there will be no discounts for large orders.

We have also purchaced an ore mine from The Glorious Armed Republic of Social Extremists, which we are now starting to develop, Layarteb and Foe Hammer have both offered to sell us steel at incredible prices.

Current Partners are:
Axe Weilding Mainiacs
Kaukolastan (Naval Dockyards)
Ypsilanti Braves (Small Arms, Supplies)
North Germania (Armoured Vehicles)

We wish you luck on your storefront and would like to consider participation but 50% discount is very steep. 25% is what we offer allies in the October Alliance and that is a special case alliance, in which all nations will agree to 25%. We still wish to sell you the iron/ore and any other resources (natural or man-made) that you may need. Hopefully we can buy some good products from your storefront in the near future.

I, general Christopher Baillie of my nations army am in charge of running our military. I would like to assist you in the supply of military arms and equipment. This is the area in which my nation specializes and we currently have a shop of our own selling these things.

General Joe sat back in his large swiverely chair surveying the docks below him, and the impressively bound folder to his left. Licking his carefuly manicured fingers, he opened the first page of the AWM dockyard audit. Of the 8 yards avaliable to him, 6 were fully operational, and the other two were being largened to accomodate the full length of the proposed 700 metre battleships His hand sliced out, and grabbed his 24cwt Gold Parker, and he started scribbling on his desk pad

With ourselves, Kaukolastan, and the Cosairs building ships, we should have a highly lucrative market. All that is required is the addition of tanks, and aircraft.

Excellent. What are you able to supply, and do you believe that you have enough cash inflow, and large enough factories to produce a higher number of your products to supply the world, on a much larger scale

General Joe Goldstien smiled, he even chucked slightly. With a faint gleam in his eye, he whispered "it marches"... "it marches"

He started to spin in his chair, kicking his feet out wildly, and yelling cowboy fasion, before he realised the great position he was in. He leapt to his feet, but because the chair was still spinning, he went flying, and ended up lying face down just outside his door. He picked himself up once again, and recollected. He did an about face, and picked up his *RED PHONE* he dialed straight through to Sir KnowsAlot and explained the sequence of actions up until the current moment. As he placed the phone down he straightened his tie, and prepared his briefcase for a visit to the AWM AMC (Arms Manufacturing Centre). As he left on his private 727, he was still whispering "it marches".

We thank you for your highly important submission, and would like to discuss with you further, including details of how large your weapons factories are, and how well defended they are from any air or ground attacks.

As i am sure you understand, with our store opening shortly, we would not want anything to compromise their output.

Especially since output = money.

Wow. Axe Weilding Maniacs is in my region, and Layarteb is my good ally. I'm in on this.

If you need any help, let me know. My storefront has proven to be pretty successful thus far. I can help most with tanks or infantry weapons. Let me know what you need.

More successful than mine and if you're looking for some excellent artillery and MBTs that is place to go if you don't want to buy the Paladin and the Abrams (though they are offered there). Very reasonible pricing and fast shippment.

Your assistance in this matter will indeed be much appreciated. We look to open in the next few weeks. We have the plans of a few different vehicles that you will surely find useful when you start producing them for us. I take it that we will also be able to use your impressive shipyards?



General Joe smiled. Everything was going according to plan, and as such he had recieved some highly intriguing offers from a large range of powerful nations keen to make some money. All he asks for now is for aircraft construction.

Ha! he laughed.
For indeed the time draws near.

We have 4 factories as of now that sit on a total of 6 acres of land. If you do indeed to accept our application for help we will be making a purchase of qyite a bit more land and start construction on many more factories. We are simply awaiting confirmation from you before doing so.



Thank you.

As i mentioned earler any nations that are involved in this massive joint venture, we are willing to provide a substantional boost into their economy. As your application has definately been accepted, we would indeed welcome your purchace of additional land, and the construction of a number of new factories.

I can authorise a cheque of up to $280,000,00 USD, if this will assist in the decision making process.

We look foreward to doing business with you in the near future.




With a quick flourish of the pen General Joe signed his name on the Telegram, and sent it by secure carrier pigeon to Christopher Baillie. He started tapping his fingers together, due to his slight unease. Much was needed to be done - he still had to find out who was going to supply and manufacture aircraft. He sighed.

It marches, he cried!

Within the end of this day we will have confirmed the purchase of an additional 10 acres of land. Starting tomorrow at approximately 6:00 A.M. we will begin construction of 5 more factories. As of when they will be completed I am of yet not shure.

Once we receive the plans for the tanks and other vehicles, we will begin the construction. The shipyards will also be open for use. If you would like, our aircraft facilities can be put to use if needed. As North Germanians are warlike people, we never mind assisting our allies with military help.

Subject: Your recent telegram
Excellent!. Your tank and aircraft construction facilities we shall be requiring, although your shipyards may remain unused, at least unti we find out how much our production is going to be.

At this stage it appears that we will only be producing standarad aircraft and armoured vehicles, but they will be ones such as the Olifant MBT.



General Joe contentedly sat back, reaching for his calculator. With a deep sigh, he picked up his direct line to the Ministy of Air Defense, Wing Commodore Theo Black, with whom he discussed the AWM state of airplane production. As he listened to the stats and figures a smile spread over General Joe's face. It was possible. Just.


As soon as he had finished speaking, he picked up a smaller, but bright yellow telephone, the one that lead directly to the office of Sir KnowsAlot. Quickly he discussed the use of the AWM aircraft and tank production, and inquiries as to how much more he could get from the national budget to assist in the development of larger arms factories.


General Joe sat back in his chair. Most of the news had been positive - he had been allocated another 1.1 trillion dollars with which to increase the production of the AWM aircraft and tank facilites, but he wasn't able to exceed over 50% total of the old factories, and to spend the whole 1.1 tillion on new factories seemed to be a waste of time. Quietly he hoped that another nation would agree to join the massive multinational corp in the storefront, a nation that was fully prepared to produce tanks and aircraft for the international community.

All we are waiting for now is for my new steel factory to come into production.



General Joe started to laugh. Weapons production had come online, and the first of the new line of the "REFLEX" cruisers was in production right outside his window. At 210 metres long, the "REFLEX" was indeed a formiddable sight.

The President of Elias Uber Alles has authorized me, his defense minister, to join your project. We can currently supply rations, rifles (Ak's and our brand new "Valiant"), pistols, and 1000 of our new anti tank gun. All we ask is that the anti tank gun be sold at a price of our choosing.

Subject: Application

As it stands right now, we can provide full production of any number of older Soviet weapons systems: MiG-21s, MiG-23s, T-55s, and T-72s in particular. We also have just recently began production of more modern aircraft(the Su-27 and MiG-29) and tanks(the JT-14, a Merkava 4 derivative and our own next-generation JT-22 MBT). We are also self-sufficient as far as small arms goes, producing ample numbers of H&K36E and IMI Galil rifles and 5.56mm NATO rounds.

Our specielty has always lied in customization and optimization. Our well-developed technological infrastructure was all that allowed us to dare to throw the R-27D(our MiG-21 under license) into the sky against more modern airforces. We currently offer a number of upgrade packages for the Soviet systems we produce, insuring that they can hold their own on the modern battlefield. And we are just finishing up test-flights on our Su-27 and MiG-29 optimization projects.

We also maintain a robust automotive production capacity, which translates into Juumanistra's being a regional leader in the export of Humvees and transport vehicles. This capability would also be made available to the Storefront.
