Overheard in an unnamed Danmarc Military facility:

"Mitchell, get your A$$ in here!!"
"Yes Mr. White, what can I do for you."

*Secretary White shaking his head in disbelief* "Look at these numbers. We are buying planes, helicopters, clones, and now subs?? Do we not produce anything ourselves?"

"Mr White, sir. We do produce some products in Danmarc, but militarily we seem to......make a lot of..........purchases."

"That may be the understatement of the year," *Slamming his fist on the desk* "I want some changes around here, starting with firepower. We will become less dependent on outside markets, or President Smedley is gonna have my A$$."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attention all military manufacturers: By request of Secretary of International Economic Affairs Geordie White, the Republic of Danmarc poses the following proposal:

We are in need of a manufacturer to set up a large-scale manufacturing plant in our nation. We want something that can used to build the following military hardware with little trouble stopping production on one, changing to the other....

-Tanks, both light armor personell carriers and heavier, cavalry quality tanks.
-Mobile missile units, be it on top of a driveable tank-like vehicle, or seperate remote units that can be towed into the battlefield.
-Artillary units, also mobile that my tanks can tow onto the field of battle.

Anyone wanting to place a bid, this is the place to do it. Your agreement will include:

Bringing your labor into our nation, building the factory (underground at our disclosed location of course), training our factory workers, as well as the sale of production rights to making the specified equipment. I want to get some stats on this hardware, possibly pictures. This will be a very large operation, possibly involving a contract spanning 3-4 years total. Name your price, and tell me a brief synopsis of what your team can do.

Republic of Danmarc

((OOC: All posts can be put on this forum rather than mailing me. These will be public bids.

Here's the stats for the armour we can allow you to produce, the only thing we've left out is our new hovertank.

HT-1 Conqueror Heavy Tank
Armaments:
145mm ETC Cannon [50]
M60 Coaxial Machine Gun [2,000]
30mm Chain Gun [1,200]
2 Pentuple Mini-Missile Launchers [60]
4 External Mini-Missile Launchers [24]
22 Claymore Mines
Infared Laser Jammer
Crew: 3 (Driver, Gunner, and Commander)
Speed: 35 Mph Off-Road, 62 Mph On-Road
Range: 225 Miles
Power Source: 16 Rotary Cylinder Methanol Turbine
Height: 11.5 Feet
Width: 15.33 Feet
Length: 45.57 Feet
Weight: 102 tons fully loaded
Cost: 6 Million
Design NOTES: This tank is, quite frankly, huge and it has the armament to match. The 145mm ETC Cannon can destroy just about any MBT or other armour there is. The coaxial M60 is not the American SAW but the Imperial SAW which is produced by Phoenix Defense Idustries and is a first line of defense against infantry. The 30mm Chain Gun is meant to engage enemy mechanized armour and infantry with devastating effectiveness. The hull-mounted mini-missile launchers are designed to be used against enemy vehicles while the side mounted mini-missile launchers (which look like smoke grenade launchers) are meant as point-defense weapons against ATGMs. As a last ditch defense against infantry, seven claymore mines are mounted on each side of the hull and four on the front and back.

ST-1 Firefly Infantry Support Tank
Armaments:
120mm Soft Recoil ETC Cannon [30]
M60 Coaxial Machine Gun [2,000]
Automatic Grenade Launcher [200]
4 Mini-Missile Launchers [24]
16 Claymore Mines
Infared Laser Jammer
Crew: 3 (Driver, and Commander)
Speed: 60 Mph Off-Road, 65 Mph On-Road
Range: 500 Miles
Power Source: 12 Rotary Cylinder Methanol Turbine
Height: 9.5 Feet
Width: 10.5 Feet
Length: 32.2 Feet w/ barrel, 26 w/o barrel
Weight: 32 tons fully loaded
Cost: 7 Million
Design NOTES: This tank is standard equipment for the Imperial Marines, mainly because it is more suitable for amphibious landing. The coaxial M60 is not the American SAW but the Imperial SAW which is produced by Phoenix Defense Idustries and is a first line of defense against infantry. The Automatic Grenade Launcher is meant to engage enemy mechanized infantry with devastating effectiveness. The Mini-Missile launchers serve the same purpose as the externally mounted ones on the HT-1. As a last ditch defense against infantry, five claymore mines are mounted on each side of the hull and three on the front and back.

MT-7 Jackson Main Battle Tank
Armaments:
150mm ETC Cannon [50]
2 10mm Chain Gun [6,000]
2 Side-Mounted Korento ATGM Launchers [8]
2 Turret-Mounted Mini-Missile Launchers [16]
Crew: 3 (Driver, Gunner, and Commander)
Speed: 75 Mph Off-Road, 93 Mph On-Road
Range: 350 Miles
Power Source: 16 Rotary Cylinder Methanol Turbine
Height: 12.5 Feet
Width: 13.5 Feet
Length: 38 Feet
Weight: 78 tons fully loaded
Cost: 5 Million
Design NOTES: While this tank is about thirty tons lighter than the Conqueror, it is arguably more effective at the anti-tank role. The 150mm ETC Cannon gives the Jackson incredible punch and the ATGM launchers on the side of the tank only add to the effectiveness of the tank against other tanks. The mini-missile launchers provide an effective multi-role weapon and the 10mm chainguns give the Jackson excellent anti-infantry capabilities. This is the standard tank of the Imperial Army.

IV-8 Maverick Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Armaments:
80mm ETC Cannon [40]
10mm Chain Gun [6,000]
Turret-Mounted Mini-Missile Launchers [16]
Crew: 3 (Driver, Gunner, and Commander) plus 10 Soldiers
Speed: 78 Mph Off-Road, 96 Mph On-Road
Range: 350 Miles
Power Source: 12 Rotary Cylinder Methanol Turbine
Height: 8.25 Feet
Width: 12.5 Feet
Length: 24.5 Feet
Weight: 28 tons fully loaded
Cost: 2 Million
Design NOTES: This IFV is thought of by many in the Imperial Army and Marines as a small tank that just happens to carry soldiers to the battlefield. It's an understandable thought when the armament isn't a 30mm Chain Gun like in most IFVs but an 80mm ETC Cannon. A 10mm Chain Gun and turret-mounted mini-missile launcher give the IFV its role-signature anti-infantry weapons.

Please note that the M-8 Maverick is really a platform much like the M2 Bradley, it can be used as the bases for gun artillery, four rocket MLRS, and Theater Defense/Surface-to-Air Missiles on top of its primary role as an IFV.

Your best bet for a cavalry tank is the Firefly, it has the most anti-infantry weapons, it can take a hit from an Abrams main gun, and it's fast. There really is nothing more you can ask from a Cav tank. However, the Jackson is also an excellent tank and worth considering if you want your mechanized units to have a heavy punch.

We can build a replica of the Arkangel'skie Voennye Sistemy Main Armour Factory which is capable of spitting out 2,000 units a year for each of these vehicles, at once. The price for such a large facility would be 200 million dollars, although fifty million can be taken out for each vehicle not built at the Danmarc factory. Production for each unit will be at cost, which is 60% of the listed price.

Here is a link to my store. I will build what ever fecility you would like, where ever you would like it built. Just name a fair price.

NouvelleTerre would like to make a Bid to build a Arms Manufacturing Factory. With Industry rebuilding at an Incredible rate after the NouvelleTerrian Liberation War a boom in Industry is occuring, the results are that NouvelleTerrian Companies such as Thampson & Thompson (known in the country as T&T) are going International. We have set a Plan to Build a Factory somewhere in Danmarc, depending on land allocated by the Danmarcian Government. This Factory will include some of the very best Technology for producing Weaponry as well as keeping local environment safe from Toxic Fumes emiting from the Plant. Our choice of Vehicles and Small Armes grows almost every day and the Equipment produced in the Plant depends on what the Danmarcian Government needs. However we will not Produce Weapons of Mass Destruction nor will we get involved in the Politics of your Country.

For Information on Equipment Sold by NouvelleTerre here is the Url for our Storehouse

:arrow:

8) great posts so far. I will be taking more bids for a brief period of time, and will be making my decision shortly.

The Republic of Danmarc has long been waiting for the opportunity to build a military factory in our nation, and appreciates each group for making bids. The following is our offer:

To the Nations of Grays Hill and NouvelleTerre: We are interested in contracting out with both of your countries. Our Republic is very impressed with the amount of hardware both of your nations offer. We would like to invite further discussions with both nations about building the abovementioned facility inside Danmarc, as well as buying production rights. Please contact me privately so we can further discuss.
*Forwards $1 billion to Grays Hill*
*Forwards $1 billion to NouvelleTerre*
This is an advance as part of our future contract with your nations. This will hopefully persuade you to send delegates at once to our site in Danmarc, so we can begin making plans for the facility immediately.

To the Scandavian States: Thankyou very much for your recent bid on this project. We have taken quite an interest in 2 of your vehicles, the MT-7 Jackson Main Battle Tank, and the IV-8 Maverick Infantry fighting vehicle. While we are not able to offer your nation a contract to build in our country at this time, we would like to make a purchase of these vehicles in the following quantity.
300 MT-7 Jackson Main Battle Tanks $5 million a piece.
300 IV-8 Maverick Infantry fighting vehicles $2 million a piece.

This totals $2,100,000,000.

*Wires Scandavian States $2,100,000,000*
To the Scandanavian States: We

((OOC: Continuance of last message, which cut off.))

To Scandavian States: We will be contacting you in the future based on the performance of this military hardware we are purchasing, regarding future contracts. As you will understand, we are still a growing nation, and can only use so much of our resources each year for military needs. Please feel free to respond with any other items your nation begins selling.

Thankyou

We thank you for the order and hope these vehicles serve you well. Unfortunately we will not be able to start your order until the 15th because of a massive order we are filling but rest assured it will be done quickly once it is started. Because of laws within the Imperium we are obligated to hold your money in an international escrow account until production has started, this is designed to protect your money should we be unable to fullfill our contract.
