New Founde Land has announced today that it will begin developing technology to allow current M101 105mm towed artillery pieces to be broken down quickly and carried by tank without the use of awkward trailors which can become quickly bogged down. As well, we are simplifying the design, allowing it to be crewed by as few as 5 men

We currently seek funding to develop these technologies from any nation interested. Any nations investment will have a guarenteed return plus access to patents surrounding the new artiller piece (code named C101A)

IC: The Empire of Tanthan wishes to donate $1,000,000,000 for research, testing and creating a prototype of the new Artillery Piece. The money is being wired as you read this. It will arrive in less then one minute.

The Republic of Kyanges wishes to donate 6 billion into helping your research. Another 3 biilion may be donated if you grant us production rights when you're done with developing it.

That's a little much for a piece of artillery....but we would also like to purchase production rights when it is ready for production.

We know have more then enough funds to develop this artillery piece, what funds remain have gone into developing an upgraded GPS targeting system.

*From the Desk of Alpino Ranno, Minister of Defense*

We have begun final preperations and testing on the C101A artillery piece. The first run will have the standard aiming system and will not be available as a towed piece, just a carried piece. We are not yet ready for production, but as of now we have five (5) guns available to each nation who has funded the project, please allow 3-6 weeks for delivery, we await your approval to go ahead with production.

As well, you may make your orders now, or await the newer targeting system available in approximately 1.5 months.

Thank You

IC: Testing has proved successful and want to have some in our militaryright away, the 5 guns are already much easier to transport then our current artillery. Just name a price, and if possible productiong rights (so we can build them faster for ourselves).
