OOC:
almost 200nuclear subs!!!
I know i'm hardly one to speak about perhaps stratching your resources but doesn't that strike you as a little too much? And why deploy such large forces to the artic and north atlantic?

feel free to slap me down over my concerns.

OOC: There have been cutbacks in other forces to compensate. For example, China only has 6 carriers (compared to Quintonnia's 30) and the PLA currently consists of only 450,000 actives (compared to 800,000 IRL).

Mostly a tag, but if Hotan weren't too busy to be investigating this himself, he'd be somewhat relieved, since China too appears to have greater distractions than what's happening across the Yalu and hasn't got the manpower to occupy Korea. Might have to turn the navy to purely ASuW defence if he gets back into power, though!

OOC: Ooh, ooh, ignore Russia and go against Dra-Pol, AMWC! I head him say unkind things about your mother...
