SANA'A - The Tyrandisan delegation to the nations of Oman and Yemen has purchased the right to build military bases on the coast of the Arabian penisula for 8 billion USD upfront and 1 billion/year as lease for the land.

Negotiations for the purchase of land have been conducted since two months ago. Foreign policy analysts have indicated that the deal is a major victory for Executor Xavier Davidson.

As part of the Iron Shield defense initiative to further secure Tyrandis control over the Indian Ocean, the proposed deal allows for Tyrandis to build ten major bases and use Yemen/Oman waters to dock naval ships.

Any and all Yemenis and Omanis affected by the construction have been given food and housing until evacuation of the purchased land can occur.

The 1st and 3rd Engineering Corps are preparing to land on Yemen within the week. After completion of the two airbases and three army camps there, they will then be transported to Oman and construct a series of naval camps.

Bascially, I'm planning to use these bases as an frontline in case of attack. Not going to bother annexation, considering that Yemen and Oman are poor countries that have little/no natural resources.
