Recently, the military grand marshals of Geisenfried noticed that much of the equipment used by the Royal Military Forces were foreign made. Should there be a time where production of military equipment be needed, they would have to wait until the foreign companies confirmed and built the requested equipment, something they couldn't wait for if Geisenfried were to be invaded. Also, should some conflict arise between Geisenfried and the foreign providers, Geisenfried would not be able to acquire any of the needed equipment. Production rights were hard to acquire, as well. And so, the decision was made to slowly decommission and scrap the foreign made units and begin commissioning units from Geisenfried's own production lines, preventing many of the problems described above.

Thus, Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate (GNMIC) was born. GNMIC, funded primarily by the government, began hiring engineers from companies that made civilian ships, planes, and vehicles, and began working on military ships, planes and vehicles. GNMIC is divided into three primarily independent divisions. Each works for a different group. GNMIC Ground Division supplies the Army, GNMIC Sea division and Shipyards supplies the Navy, and GNMIC Aerospace Division supplies the Air force.

However, there is a problem. Most of these engineers have only worked on civilian equipment, and they need to get used to the requirements the military is setting up. After all, it's one thing to build a SUV, it's another to build a tank. So, GNMIC will, until engineers begin getting the gist of designing and constructing military vehicles, occasionally offer contracts requesting foreign assistance. Contracts will be listed here, and updated when necessary. Contracts will always include production rights, the ability to sell the crafts in foreign storefronts, and a cash reward, depending on the amount of help given. Don't expect any grand prize, for we are somewhat strapped for cash, though. We do ask that those who are seeking to gain a contract to show us some of there work.

To: Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate
From: Rear Admiral Barbara Tucker (ISN-Ret.)
Managing Director, Portland Iron Works
Subject: Possible contracts

On behalf of both the Portland Iron Works and the Avalon Aerospace Corporation, I would like to express our companies' interest in the prospects of establishing contact with our counterparts in your company.

The Portland Iron Works is in need of more shipyards with a critical mass of orders coming in from export customers, while the Avalon Aerospace Corporation is in search of more export markets and greater exposure in the international community. Even if we do not directly receive these particular benefits in conducting a transaction with you, we believe we can help you to meet your stated needs and help us accomplish our goals as military contractors.

We look forward to establishing further dialogue with you in the future as it relates to establishing business relationships between our companies and our countries.

Hey Theao, I want to work on the attack helicopters, my nation is well known for their araments. Odin Corporation will help you create power helicopters with the MT customer in mind.

Aequatian Military Industries has a long track record for designing excellent warships for the Aequatian Navy and those of several other nations, Geisenfried included. We would be willing to take on the destroyer contract as escort vessels have been a strong suit for AMI's Marine Division.

To: Theao, Gyrobot
From: Sean Amada, Director, Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate, Ground Division

As a standard procedure, we request that you submit an example of your own work before proceeding with negotiations concerning the helicopter projects underway. Thank you.

From: Sean Amada, Director, Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate, Ground Division;
Jeff Sahalin, Director, Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate, Sea Division and Shipyards

GNMIC knows well the prestige of Portland Iron Works, one of the premier shipbuilding companies internationally, and hereby award the contract concerning Project Trafalgar to PIW.

We are currently awaiting some competitors concerning the helicopters, but will keep Avalon Aerospace Industries in mind when deciding who to contract concerning those projects.

((OOC: TG me concerning what you would like on the contract terms, I don't have much time.))

To: Aequatian Military Industries
From: Jeff Sahalin, Director, Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate, Sea Division and Shipyards

Aequatian Military Industries has served Geisenfried well in the past, and thus, we have decided to award the contract concerning Project Salamis to AMI.

((OOC: Same thing as Sarzonia, TG me about the contract.))

Geisenfried: TG sent.

OOC: Alright, waiting for Gyrobot before I award the contracts.

Aequatio, Sarzonia, details concerning Trafalgar and Salamis projects have been telegrammed, so check your TGs.

OOC: Gyrobot, are you going to submit your example? I'd like to get going with these projects soon...

We currently can't help you with any of the current projects because of lack of knowledge, but we are willing to offer our assistance with fighters, bombers, and other fixed-wing aircrafts. We have currently released 4 designs with another one coming soon. Please contact us if you have any contract to this type specified. Thank You.

Signed,
Raja Tylon-CEO of Tylon Aerospace Industries

To: Raja Tylon, CEO, Tylon Aerospace Industries
From: Cameron Bidan, Director, Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate, Aerospace Division

Currently, the Aerospace Division is doing just fine, as Geisenfried has been producing it's own refits of well known designs for quite some time now. However, we will eventually replace these with our own designs eventually... but not at this time.

GNMIC is currently spending more on developing the Ground and Sea Divisions, and so, until we've consolidated our positions by beginning construction of our naval and ground designs, aerospace contracts will not be available. However, when they do, we will contact you.

((OOC: I don't want to overload myself with too many contracts. Four is a stretch as is. After each project is completed, I'll post the results and offer a new contract, until I either get the gist of what I need to do, or until everything I need has been built.))

Geisenfried, replied to your TG.

From: Matthew Amuray, Chief Director of Operations, Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate
To: All whom it may concern

First of all, I would like to thank Aequatian Military Industries for helping us complete Project Salamis.

Secondly, due to large demands by the Geisenfried Royal Navy, Project Kestrel and Project Goshawk, the two contracts concerning an attack helicopter and an utility helicopter have temporarily been retracted.

Thirdly, to replace the previous contracts, three more contracts, Project Midway, Project Wake and Project Taranto have been initiated and are available for foreign contractors.

If allowed, Aequatian Military Industries would be honoured to fill the contract requirements for Projects Midway, Wake and Taranto.

To: Aequatian Military Industries
From: Jeff Sahalin, Director, Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate, Sea Division and Shipyards

GNMIC is considering your offer at this time, but we would like to wait and see if there are any others who would like to fill the contracts. However, please note that your outstanding help record means that you will most likely get at least get one or two of the contracts.

Bump.

We thank Geisenfried National Military Industries Conglomerate for the opportunity to provide your nation with quality armaments and vessels. We shall wait for your approval with great anticipation.

OOC: Final bump before I give the contracts to Aequatio.

Also, Sarzonia, if you read this, could you check your TGs and send me a reply to mine?
