General Alexander Roska (http://www.calguard.ca.gov/ia/kuzmuk.gif), the Rosian Minister of Defense got on the podium to answer many questions.

One reporter started. "Alexander, what are the reforms planned?"

Alexander cleared his throat. "We plan to lower the Air Force into an Air Corp consisting of 1,850 planes instead of the 10,000 we had. These will be the new statistics."

A screen dropped, showing the new Air Corp.


700 R/F-91s (F/A-91 renamed)
300 R/B-91s (F/B-91 renamed)
75 RAH-1s (Hind renamed)
150 RLAH-1s (Cobra Attack Helicopters renamed)
50 RCP-1s (C-17 renamed)
200 ROH-1s (Blackhawk renamed)
300 RSH-1s (Little Bird renamed)
75 RHB-1s (B-52 renamed)


The reporters gasped, Alexander continued. "As you can see, the Air Corp will now function as a Defense Force and as a mild attack force in Roman conflicts. Next question."

"What is with the recent Naval buildup?" another reporter said.

"You see." Alexander said. "The Commonwealth is a growing Naval power, we are just reaffirming this. Next question."

The first reporter asked another question. "What will happen to the leftovers?"

Alexander cleared his throat. "They will be distributed among the Protectorates, they will not be for sell. Next question."

A third reporter. "What is this special project that seems to rumor around?"

Alexander chuckled, he gave out a smirk. "I guess we can tell you. We plan to build an artificial Island the size of the largest Hawaiian Island." The reporters gasped, one shouted |And what will it house?!|. Alexander replied. "A Home Fleet consisting of 600 Hamptonian-built ships."

Half of the room fainted, the others were left with their jaws hanging. "I know this will be a hard thing to build. But we are welcoming foreign investment into the project. We even plan to build a few more if it is successful. This will free up the ports for trade."

A fourth reporter. "How will the fleets be housed? Will they stay in their usual ports? Those that are now with us I mean."

Alexander smiled. "Ah. The fleets will wonder International waters. So nations, if you see a Rosian fleet, we're either busy with wargames, or just passing by. Why fear us? And yes, some will actually be housed on the Island."

The room chuckled. "Yes. And if you wanted to know, we will have a navy of 2,675 ships. We plan to have this by 20 (NS) years. Any more questions?"

Silence.

"No? Then this conference is over."

They left.

((OOC: Feel free to criticize, give me money to build the island, support me. All that crap. Oh and question me >_>))

Hello, this is William Pierce for White World Radio. Earlier today the Rosian government announded a sudden decrease in aerial power. They plan to decrease their air power from 10,000 to a minimal of 1,850 aircraft. This came to no shock to the Czar today. He knew of the Rosian way to keep peaceful until an 'opportunity of easy gain' comes about. Also, on a rare occasion today, the head of the Committee For State Security spoke out to the world, but in specificity: To the Rosians:

"We find your plans promising and for the better will of the world. Yet, as not addressed in the Fascian-Rosian Pact, you are not authorised to access Fascian oceanic space and waterways. Thus, we may peacefully discuss the reasonable access to a limited portion of our oceanic territory if requested by the Rosian administration."

This statement did however raise some controversy and rumors of tension between the Fascian and the Rosians. However, as confirmed by the Czar, there are no heightened tensions between the two states.

Official Statement from The Proletariat Commonwealth of The Island of Rose:

We accept. We need all the money we can get. No seriously, we do. We don't want to go too deep into debt. I'm sure Alan would understand.

As an ally of The Island of Rose, we will donate $1 Trillion USD from government waste and slight cutbacks in the Procurement of Foreign Expeditionary Bases Budget (Ministry of Defense attempt at purchasing foreign bases to house naval and air forces). As discussed, after the island's completion, we will be able to base a single force projection group (7th Force Projection Group; 9 ships; 2300 Marines and equipment) either on the main island or a smaller, off-set island. The ships and Marines will aid in the island's defense.

Official Statement from The Proletariat Commonwealth of The Island of Rose:

If anybody is concerned if the ships will fit into the Island, we assure you that the Island will be big enough and that we will expand it if need be. Your money will not go to waste.

We will donate 500 Billion USD for use of the Rose government.

We accept.

((OOC: Too tired for fancy post, sorry :( ))

Just because we're staunch allies, I'm authorizing $250 billion out of our Foreign Assets division to help you and open your ports up to our navies. But don't you dare tell Drucker about this.

That manaic of a budget cutter would have my head, if he didn't have a stroke while chasing me. So keep this one on the DL.

Yours, Carl Vanderhoven, Minister of Foreign Affairs
