As the Emperor of Transdormania. I would like to inform my neighbors that I have planned a large military buildup. My vibrant empire of 80 million souls needs to protect our hard earned gains from our much larger neighbors.

Our plans for military expansion over the next 3 years include: the raising, equiping, and training of 5 armored divisions, 10 mechanized infantry divisions, 2 air assault divisions, 1 air mobile division, 3 marine divisions, 3 paracommando regiments, and 1 maritime commando regiment, along with accompanying support, intelligence, and helicopter and artillery fire support services. Our navy shall be expanded to include a total of 4 fixed wing nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, 9 VSTOL aircraft carriers, 25 cruisers, 45 destroyers, 80 missile fast attack craft, 25 nuclear attack submarines, 4 nuclear ballistic missile submarines, and sufficient auxiliary ships for purposes of amphibious operations and supply. Our air force shall include a 12 multipurpose fighter squadrons, 10 interceptor and airsuperiority fighter squadrons, 8 close air support squadrons, 8 ground strike squadrons, 3 strategic bomber squadrons, 2 reconnaissance squadrons, 1 maritime patrol/antisubmarine squadron, and sufficient transport services for utility and air drop operations.

My empire also intends to establish as many arsenals as needed to supply the armed forces with weaponry and spare parts and to conscript our young men and women to serve the armed forces in peace and wartime. We also intend to develop thermonuclear and chemical weapons which we shall diligently guard to keep from falling into the wrong hands, and we pledge to not adopt a first strike policy. Our budget shall have $125 billion devoted to the armed services so that over time our military goals can be met.

Our military build up is entirely defensive and we wish to inform our neighbors of this build up and future large scale maneuvers in the interest of avoiding fears later.

We hope our military might shall contribute to the peace and safety of the world and ask our fellow nations understanding of our peaceful goals.
