New Nuclear Laws under scrutiny

The Upper Congo
16-02-2005, 20:34
Today TUC officials, parliament and the President have created the 3 laws concerning nuclear efficiency and how they can help us never be defeated again......

Here they are:

1. 4 nuclear power plants are to be set up around the country to ensure safe, clean and cheap power. Monthly costs for power to each house will be maximum $50, thus taking off strain from our hydro-electric dams.

2. We are going to set up a nuclear development plan which will in 5 NS years (about 4 months, real time) have produced our first nuclear weapon. All funds will come from our trade overproduction and taxes. With a nuclear device in our hands it will help make sure we are never invaded again.

3. The nuclear power plants are to have at least 400 guards each, depending on size to protect from protestors and boy-cotters. Any extra energy produced will be sold to help any future debts.

3,000 anti-nuclear protestors have set up camp outside the Parliament buildings demanding that the 3 laws be repealed. As protests are illegal due to a death of an officer the police had to be called in. The hippies fled.

OOC: If ya got any problems with me developing nukes go ahead and tell ma, I dont mind......

I sure as hell don't, we'll contribute $2b if we get:
A) a simple nuclear device to study
B) training for our own scientist
C) tons of documentation regarding the development of your nuke

OOC: $2 billion dollars you say? Well, I think I have no choice but to accept your demands! We will fly the scientist over and he can do A) & C).

The grand nation of The TUC Republic gladly accepts your cash donation for the development of our nuclear device. We are highly grateful and we hope we can work together in the future again.

We do not approve of your nuclear program and disourage you from continuing as it will can only antagonize your relations with the world, and Psov. The development of nuclear weapons will not protect your nation from invasion, only give liscense or cause for other nations to attempt to disarm you. We would be willing to supply you with money and scientists to research other means of power production.

Message from Vice-President John Hink on behalf of President Mark Tolts:
All countries that disagree with our new nuclear policy can go moan about it somewhere else. The Upper Congonian Republic has gone through thick and thin and we won't be anyone's scapegoat for their own problems anymore. When we develop nuclear devices we will show that we are not to be messed with again. That goes to the following: Chellis, Guffingford, Psov, Allies of the First War against us & anyone whom disagrees with our policies. We won't change because of you.

Wire from The Davex Corperation

The Davex Corperation is thrilled with the Upper Congo's decision to modernise their countries power source, as well as their military. In the world we live in, it is simply impractical to live as a country without nuclear power. We understand that you plan on constructing 4 nuclear plants, and we would like to be construct one of the plants for you. We would cover the entire cost of the construction and maintance of of the plant. If you would be so generous as to sell us 10 square miles of unihabited land, we could set up a nuclear facility, and sell the energy produced from it for a more than generous prices.

If you are interested in the deal we have proposed, please say so and we can go into more depth on the details.

The United Osean States backs Upper Congo's propossal for a nuclear program, and is willing to send our experianced scientists and 5 billion Bills (~8.4b USD, Calculator is not right next to me now) to help fund the project and help from any nuclear meltdowns or "accidental" explosions.

If, however, Upper Congo plans offencive uses, this may cause problems.

Any action taken by TUC in a threatining manner shall be taken as a direct danger to VP, and will be acted upon harshly.

VP would also like to announce that to counter this the government shall beggin production of more nuclear weapons, particulary ICBMs and SSBMs.

We shall also look to purchase a newer Anti Missile systems.

If The Federation of Vast Principles wants to act like a child because of squabbles between our two countries then fine, it is their choice when they accept that no nation will take them seriously, it is their choice if they are still paranoid about actions by our government that will never, ever happen again. The Federation of Vast Principles can develop as many nuclear devices, AA systems and improve their army as much as they like. The Upper Congonian people could not give a damn about them because they are wasting money and looking for a fight. It's their choice if they want to look like assholes, our nuclear development will go on no matter what.

Second Government message to TUC concerning Nuclear Program.
The VP Government only loos for war with you because we distrust you. Your threats against allies of our great nation disturb us, we Therefore warn you that ANY actions, or Further threats towards them shall be dealt with harshly.

We do not stand for nations such as your own, even though you shall never be able to threaten our region like you did once, taking us by suprise and taking power like a dictator. Your actions shall not be forgotten, but we do not call the beggining of our fracard of war a petty squable. We do not look at what your nation has done though, no, but what we think your nation shall do in the future.

The President coughed, he was getting old now, he could feel trouble brewing, he was not for a war against TUC, but he could not help the hurt that TUC had made in the hearts of so many of the Parliment. A nuclear attack would be...bad to say the least.

Over 10,000 builders start the construction of the brand new Honkle Nuclear Plant which will employ 3,000 people, provide 1/10 percent of our electricity and help build our bombs.................

''Sir, telegram from national security"
"Give it here, lets see now" says President Tolts
"Well, looks like the Federation of Vast Principles in uncomfortable with our nuclear plan, threatining action, but a nuclear attack would win us a war. Go get General Hughes of the High Military Elite Command"
"Yes Sir!"

About 45 minutes later General Hughes finally arrives at the Presidential estate.

"You called for me, sir"
"Vast Principles is threatining war if any of our actions are disliked by them"
"Hum, interesting, what should we do"
"Put all forces on high alert, if any Vast Principles ships, aircraft or any men fill our airspace, water or land I give you permission to fire upon them"
"What about defense?"
"Start re-building our 3 lines of defense, install coastal batteries and send a few spy plaes over they're territory to see what they are up to"
"Agreed"
"I shall notify our scientists to hurry up the production of the nuclear bombs"
"Also Hughes, order the AA guns to be on high alert for any suspicious activity from any fighters from Vast Principles, we are waging undeclared war"

" SIR! I've got a contact, not sure if its a plane or what, but i've been seing more and more, and i think we may be being spyed upon! " exclaimed an excited technician.

" Did you get it recorded? " Asked the pilot Officer in command at the time.

" Yes sir! "

" Lets see it then! If its a spy plane we need to get missiles launched now! "

" There! Just on the left of the screen. "

" Damn! Your right, get hold of command, get them to get our EWACs planes in that area! Scramble fighters! "

In an airfield not far away...

" SCRAMBLE! All alert Squadrens are to take off immediatly and follow orders once in the air from AD Command. THIS IS NOT A DRILL "

" CRAP! " Shouted Flying Officer Poorkin, as he raced towards his fighter. " Get it started up Max! We haven't got all day! "

" yes sir! " Repplied a Burly lance-corporal from inside the cockpit of the plane.

Already the first planes already patrolling were being directed towards the suspected incoming plane, although wether they would catch it out or not they couldn't tell.

An estimated 9,127 workers began the construction of the Davex Nuclear Plant in The Upper Congo, only two days after purchasing the land. Bulldozers cleared land, trucks moved back and forth transporting materials. Two SAM sites were set up, and 300 men armed with machine guns patroled the parimiter. A barbwired-chain linked fence was immidietly set up, as were tents and trailors. This Plant was going to be finished, one way or another.

PRISON LABOUR

Since the high increase of payment demanded by workers which was unrealistic for our budget we have decided to put the convicts to work. 12,000 have begun the building of Najan Power Plant helped by 100 engineers, 35 plumbers, 15 Health & Safety Advisors, 4 carrier helicopters which wll supply food and building materials and 1,000 Guards. By rough estimate if we work the convicts 18 hours a day the power plant will be ready within two NS months and will employ 5,000 people. If all goes well it will hugely profit our nation.

SCIENCE DISCOVERY

Our first TUC-built bomb is ready, ahead of schedule we managed to make the atoms dance! It took some time but we have produced our most deadliest bomb ever, with enough power to make the American state of Wisconsin become a desolate wasteland for some 10,000 years. It is being improved but is going to be in production by tommorrow...

Your first nuclear weapon would be a fission bomb with about 30KT power at the most i would say, redtide2 is quite good with info about Nukes. Your weapon would in NO WAY be capable of destroying Wisconson, no weapon known to man of of yet could do that, unless you had A LOT of them, ohh, and my nation is massive, please don't forget that.

IC: With the declaration of this cold war VP has decided to immediatly make available more Funds for all major military projects, to speed up design and production of a new amphibious tank to take over the job from older tanks.

Research into new nuclear weapons continues, and more money is being poured into developing ever increasingly effective anti-missile systems. Air crews are receiving extra-trianing, and security has been increased dramatically to stop enemy spies.

Any enemy activity within VPs borders on land, sea or air will mean that action shall be taken. More fighter squadrons are being put on alert to be ready to take off and destroy any threat.

new Subamarine squadrons are being purchased, and so are to be two completely new fleets, with other vessels to do other tasks, such as new small amphibious fleets and task forces to make sure that any threat made can be countered immediatly with a strong force.

Satelites shall be watching over TUC and anti-satellite weapons shall be researched t stop any from spying on VP. For now cheap anti-satellite systems consisting of powered metal rods shall be propelled into enemy sattelites and missiles shall be fired from existing space weapons.

The Armed forces shall see a renewed drive for more troops, including longer conscription service and more elite units. The civilian sector shall all receive training in the case of nuclear, chemical and biological attack and respirators/gas masks shall be issued.

The Emergency services shall be getting paid more and all parts of it shall be equiped and trained to deal with enemy attacks. Spending into ALL areas concerned with a cold war shall have more money pilled into to make sure we are prepared.

We shall be ready in the case of an attack, and we shall make sure we never are suprised!

"I don't know President Tolts" said Minister of Commerce Jake Lampard

"Soon Vast Principles will spend too much money on this silly 'protect your country' shit and they will go broke, then we shall perhaps attack"

"Sir, would it not be wiser to attack while they have nothing to retaliate us with?"

"Thats a good point, Jakie. I'll think about it, VP can't produce as fast as they say they will"

"Their military budget his highly overstretched, with all the weapons they are producing and the constant threat of attack by our forces, they are alawys on the edge and that is working to our advantage" says Jake Lampard

"Too true, damn sissies, if they are so well protected why dont they come and attack us then?, our army is only 140,000 strong in peace-time, we focus on quality, not quantity. Have our spies sent back any messages yet?"

"Yes, 2 have reported that Vast Principle is upgrading their forces to meet the threat of a nuclear attack, 3 have reported that conscription is now part of the law"

"Interesting, how big are their forces?"

"That is unclassified, maybe they shall tell us in their next telegram"

IC:

The mistrust of TUC was well placed in the hearts of the population, giving the government a chance to up the ammount of taxation upon citizens just that extra little bit without them noticing...

The Military Budget of $3,505,827,736,945.55 was more than enough to get VPs Military of 2 or so % of the population through the year, and well equiped too!

The governemnt though, upon guidance from its military Advisers decided to up Production of the MW-58s Amphibious MBTs, not only were they fast and nimble, capable of working well over the marshes near the sea, but they were also small enough to fit many onto amphibious assault ships in case of an attack on TUC being forced.

The Military was well balanced, it had a large airforce supporting a well equiped army, and the navy, although not that large, was designed to defend VP, and, to attack enemy nations using amphibious capabilities.

With the money being used from previous budgets it was now more than possible that most of the army would be turned into a rapid reaction force, capable of launching strikes in less than 48hours on the ground.

"Hmmm, interesting. Order the factories to produce 1,000 nuclear weapons"

"1,000? Don't you think that is a bit much? I don't think our country can afford it." replies Chairman of the High Council Peter Detri.

"We will use every bit of money our country can spare, it is time to wipe out those VP bastards"

"I still don't think that is a good idea"

"Peter, do what I say or I can go and tell the press about your little affair with a prostitute, and so you will be ruined"

With a heavy sigh, Peter finally agreed. He knew the time was coming for a cold war, and know the status of his country was at stake, we could not be outdone by some pety nation.

"Sir, I have a plan that could ruin their economy" and so Peter leant forward and whispered into the leaders ear"

"That is so foolproof I think it just might work, I give you permission to take 200 master ******* and start work immediately"

Peter left the room with a grin upon his face knowig what he was going to do would ruin VP's economy, it was payback against a snotty brat.
