In a public announcement made today, Generalisimo Andrei Kuprin admitted that Zarbia had recently begun a biochemical weapons program. This program includes the purchase and manufacturing of nerve agents such as GB and VX gasses.

The Zarbian administration has already purchased vast quanties of said materials from The Macabees for fair pricing. Among the weapons purchased were 100,000 MLAM-2 missiles fitted with VX chemical warheads as well as the production rights for both GB and VX.

Production facilities have been constructed in Zarbian Egypt for the preparation of these dangerous weapons to be used during times of conflict.

GLACORP would be happy to sell you these weapons, as well as means of production, at quite good prices as well.
Of course the govornment does not approve of your nations development of biochemical weapons, no, indeed. We strongly condem it. Unfourtunatly we have no control over GLACORP, and its not our policy to intefere with other nations on such grounds.
The Swiss thing was an exception. We didnt like him.
We are confident that your nation will not develope incurable viruses as first strike weapons, and that friendly relations can thus be maintained.

Many thanks for the offer but sufficient materials have been purchased for this project. The purpose of these weapons will not be revealed at the present time as it is confidential.

I ask you to halt production of these weapons asap.

Nothing of the like will happen.

We have had problems with these weapons and their proliferation. we are watching you....
The Macabees
14-02-2005, 03:20
Watch all you want, because in the end that's all you're going to be doing. These weapons have nothing to do with your nation, your nation's well being, or your nation's foreign policy.

Official Burnsian Memo to Zarbia

Cease and desist in your actions at once. The world is dangerous enough without another rouge nation having deadly weapons.

We ask Hobbeebia not to involve themselves with matters that do not concern them. The production of VX and GB gasses will continue without any foreign intervention.

IC:

Nothing of the like will happen, as I repeat. Any actions commited on Zarbia will have to go through the Empire as well.

RE

I see the Macabees are involved in this as well. One can only wonder what the motives are for this new development. Our decree stands. Cease and desist your actions within the (NS) week or face the consequences.

Face the consequences of what? Any hostile actions will be met by the full force (well whatever I can spare with this Kahtan war going on) of our military. Which although already in a war can spare much more than what others think. We stress to you the importance of silence.
Zarbia
14-02-2005, 03:31
As we have stated before; the manufacturing of these nerve agents will not be interrupted. There is no evidence to suggest that Zarbia will use these gasses, there is nothing illegal about this program.

Well, if you dont want the bio/chem weapons...
Seeing as the current situation seems a bit...tense, Dontgonearthere can offer you a quite nice supply of assorted conventional weapons, such as tanks, to fend off any agression.
Naturaly these will be the modern varients of our normal equipment. We can also offer you a %15 war discount, should hostilites come about.
Eredron
14-02-2005, 03:34
Eredron, although concerned, will make no statement other than to warn Zarbia against attempting to use these weapons against Eredron or her allies, and hopes that reason and rationality prevail in this matter.

you maybe large but so are we. try not to agrivate the situation.
The Macabees
14-02-2005, 03:37
Large or small has nothing to do with military might or political authority. In any case, it is not us aggrivating the situation, it is yourself. The business of Zarbia is none to you. Had these weapons been of any concern of yours you would have already been gassed.

Again, Zarbia will not end the production of NBC weapons, and they have our full political backing.

OOC: That's the point...better tacticians always beat numbers... in fact modern mechanization capitalizes on that fact - the Germans fought against greater numbers and won (not counting Russia, although had Russian been smaller in size with the same population it would have fallen)..the Israelites were fighting armies perhaps tenfold as large as the IDF and the IDF defeated the same armies six times. The United States army is around the 15th largest in the world, and yet it is the best in the world concerning combat records.

Ah yes, the Punic Wars, the war in which cavalry, and indeed mechanization, forged its way into the limelight of modern strategy and tactics. I wrote/writing an article on the Punic Wars for a large website database, just finished with the First Punic War, so nowhere near the Battle of Cannae.

hobbeebia is a great tacticians, I have seen him at work. if anyone knows about defeating enemies of great size it him.try fighting him on C&C. but he is not the best at typing his actions , but he is good at what he does., but on another hand Hobbeebia is only doing his job. he works for the A.D.N. as an anti-biochem weapons unit personnel.

Alexonium is proud to announce that it has deveoped its own chemical weapons without the need for foreign intervention!

So anyone whos screw with Alexonium should expect their potency and sex drive to be DESTROYED, not to mention the side effects of suffocation!

OOC: The thing I find frustrating about fighting wars on NS is that there's too many people who have the "OMG I'M BIG YOU'RE SMALL, YOU LOSE" mentality.

I have a ridiculous number of frontline troops (6,500,000 at last count) and yet, there are players half my size who double the number of troops in their armies. I guess it's the lingering WWI idea of "Hey, let's send millions of men to their deaths in god-knows wherever! We have more population than they do, so they'll have to surrender." Then we end up with wars of attrition involving high technology, and the fun of the game just disappears for the rest of the RP.

By virtue of these numbers, we need chemical weapons and lots of them to create a viable deterrent!

WPHD would be willing to pay for a deterent (super-virus) that matchs the following description:

1. has anthrax like spores (last for 40-300 years)
2. spreads from person to person for a couple of weeks before simptoms apear, people drop dead a couple of days after simptoms apear
3. Ebola like virilence (1 spore in bloodstream, 1-5 inhaled)
4. incurable

we will pay $10b for 10kg that we will grow (turn it into tonnes) in giant fermenters

The only reason said chemical weapons were sold to Zarbia in the first place was because Zarbia is a well known and trusted ally. We have no plans to place NBC warheads in your hands - a very small, and unknown nation.

OOC: Well, I have rediculous numbers of active duty troops as well. Thing is, they're all defensive. I use air strikes, covert ops, assassinations and the like to take down my enemies... I try to avert millions of deaths.

I was using the battle of Cannae as an example of a smaller force beating a larger one, with better equipment, and cavalry (or tanks, whichever you want :P).
