OOC: I am going to be honest with you, hiring a full time military operated by a group of Mercenaries is not smart. Mercenaries hardly negotiate and they are soldiers of fortune. I suggest for you to have your nation come to size before having a million men army. This even goes for robots, because there are probably ways for computer programmers to use them against you.

Just thought I'd give you my two cents.

((OOC: But what you have to realize is that for a corporation like us, PR rules all.

If a robot were to go haywire and confuse a human with, say, a timebomb of some kind and proceed to open up the human and "disarm" it, we'd have hell to pay explaining why it did that. Also, people wouldn't buy our robots for fear that the robot would confuse them with an immeadiate threat. This is why we have to test, test, test our robots to get them perfect before selling them off. If one screw-up were to happen, we'd be effed, financially.))

(OOC: And of course your corporation has installed backdoors for your software engineers to go in behind the scenes if you are hired to commit work against the buyer. As well, hackers can find these backdoors to get into the robotic systems and make a mess of the robot. Commit acts of sabotage. Such as destroying the entire robotic grid.

((OOC: We would never perpetrate acts against our buyers. If we don't like a nation, we don't sell to them. There are no backdoors.

By the way, this is OOC, so I'm telling the truth here. If one of our robots assassinates a buyer, that makes us look like very very bad people and no one wants to buy a robot from a very very bad person, especially if that robot is capible of killing its owner at the seller's disgression. Granted, we have bits of code that keep a robot from following orders detrimental to the corporation, but nothing to the effect that the robot will turn on its owner.))

Well, the fact is, if you can afford it I can offer you 1,000,000 trained troops. However, the 20,000,000,000 dollars you are offering only covers a short period of time. If you want permanent soldiers, I'm sorry, but no one in their right mind would work for so little money. However, if the price is right, I can offer far more. Here is the best offer I can give.

You want one Million Troops. I offer you 1 million Elite troops for 2 Trillion dollars. All of my Elite troops are highly trained in Leo Towa ((The National Martial Art)) and equipped with BCMA3s and MIAs. See the Statistics for these here Unther Arms Technology Shop (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=405343) and I think that you will agree that for what you get, you are getting more then your fair share.
Otherwise, I can offer you 1 million Troops on a more permanent basis for a sum off 200,000,000. If you want to spend only 20 million, you will simply be hiring them for 1 month. Thank you, and it's a pleasure doing business with you.
