Nigeria contacts it's fellow Africans and friends, the South Africans, and respectfully asks for assistance in building a modern merchant marine.

South Africa is willing to build a modern merchant fleet for Nigeria, in exchange for oil exports. The Republic will have the ships ready for delivery in 1953.

OOC: How many will you need? And just so you know, it's still 1952.

The Nigerian governemnt is willing to go through with the deal. THey will export two-fifths of their oil to South Africa for the next few decades or longer, should it prove neccessary.

OOC: I was thinking 8-10 would be a good number to start with. That gives me enough of an economy boost so that I can start expanding my base industry.

South Africa sends word that construction has begun on the Nigerian merchant fleet, and that the shipping units will be completed by 1953.

OOC: You'll get 1 for your 1953 build, and 9 more for your 1954 build, along with any foreign aid I send. Sorry, but there wasn't any extra money to spend on it in my 1952 budget allocations. In 1954 you'll have 15 additional commerce points with that shipping, and I can build more if you want, so you can put your own money into production centers.

Nigeria sends it's thanks and increases it's oil shipments to South Africa.

[OOC: Sounds good! I'm getting a bunch of foriegn aid next year, which will allow me to build one or two new production centers, plus finish up my national/international air lines. Brazil is going to give me a couple as well. (Limit is still 15, right?) With that, plus the shipping I should be eable to expand pretty quickly and get my major production centers up. Plan on SA being one of my major trading partners. Do prod. centers still give two points per or is it now one point per?]

OOC: Production centers give two points at peacetime. I'm not sure what limit you're thinking of, because I can't think of anything that has a specific limit of 15. Airlines max out at 10, tourism is dependent on population (1 point per 10 million people), and commerce is 40 points using tech level 7 shipping.

Britain is more than willing to assist her ex-colony Nigeria to develop in her first steps towards total independence. However many demands have been made on the budget for next year, including budget proposals from other ex-British African nations (ie. NPC ones) and the military particularly in response to the situation in the Middle East and growing tensions in Europe. In addition there is the growing space program to look after.

However if spending can be allocated to Nigeria, it will be indicated at the next budget (1953 start). Britain is sorry that no promises can be made but hopes that Nigeria understands the severe pressure Britain is under in many areas.

However, Nigeria will be pleased to note that Britain has sponsered a vote on her admission to the Commonwealth of Nations. If she is admitted (which is almost certain) she will benefit from reduced tariffs with other Commonwealth nations as well as other benfits.

OOC: In game terms this results in a +1% growth per year from the trade bonuses as well as a loose mutual defence pact (between all Commonwealth nations and by the Treaty of Daresalaam: Germany, though nations are under no requirements to declare war on each others enemies, merely to supply them when required to) and other bonuses.

Nigeria thanks the British for their kind words and completly understands that the British are not only dealing with the Middle Eastern Crisis, but also with numerous other ex-colonies.

They are also greatful for the invitation and possible inclusion of Nigeria in the Commonwealth.

They also thank the South Africans for their promise of military advisors.

In addition Britain will be willing to sell any weapons or military equipment that Nigeria may require including the L1A1 SLR Rifle, Centurion 20 pounder tanks and any ships or aircraft needed. Most of these are compatable with (and have operated alongside) South African equipment and some are in use with teh South AFrican forces so the training recieved should cover them.

Nigeria is mostly interested in the Centurion and British tanks, as they are currently working on purchasing the G3 Rifle from Germany. However, the L4 Bren gun would be appreciated. They would also, in a few years, like to purchase some Hawker Hunters in order to found an airforce. Interest is also expressed in purchasing some coastal patrol craft.

Britain would be glad to supply teh above equipment to teh Nigerian government (essentially your units will have a higher combat value due to better foreign imports than relying on locally made equipment). The future purchase fo Hawker Hunters is also permitted, though better planes will probably be around by then (for the same cost). Finally Nigeria is granted permission to purchase coastal patrol craft from Britain, though as a tech 6 nation it would be just as easy to build them yourself and improve your shipwrighting abailities whilst at it.

You have also just been admitted to the Commonwealth. Garnering a 1% growth bonus and membership of a defensive pact.

That 1% boost comes after five years, so assuming you stay with a market economy, you will get 4% growth in 1957.

President Nnamdi Azikiwe,

I must regretfully inform you that South Africa will be unable to continue economic assistance to Nigeria in the 1955 fiscal year. Economic concerns and budget restructuring have forced us to devote capital to other projects. We hope that this does not damage relations between our two nations.

South Africa is willing to hold the current Nigerian debt (OOC: 39 points) as interest-free until 1957. As that was the agreed-upon date to begin repayment to South Africa, our respective governments will negotiate a payment schedule that year, or perhaps postpone payment further until such time as Nigeria is able to pay the debt.

The Republic thanks you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Girerd van Hoorn
Secretary of Finance

Mr. Van Hoorn,

I fully realize that this global depression will affect us all and your country will not be able to provide assisstance to our own. We thank you for assisstance you have provided and look forward to continued good relationships with your country.

We will begin paying of the debt in yearly installments beginning in 1955 and hope to have it completely paid off by 1957.

I would also like to thank you for the military advisors you have sent to aid us.

In Friendship,

President Nnamdi Azikiwe


The military advisors arre immediatly asked to help train the fledgling army, who are currently undergoing war games, with the 1st and 3rd Infantry Divisions playing defense to the 2nd Divisions attacker. The 2nd Division is aided by the 1st Armored Brigades Challenger Tanks.

Communication from Canberra to Abuja:

The Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand sends its greetings and warm wishes to Mr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. It has been a shame that our two nations have not had more friendly communications in the years since your happy independence from Great Britain, for we share both a common heritage and an alliance.

But to the heart of this message. Australia has managed to create a budget surplus in 1956, despite the effects of this unfortunate recession, that allow us to offer you some aid that will hopefully take up the slack left by South Africa and Brazil (ooc: 9 points). As a gesture of goodwill, we do not expect repayment. It is a gift from one friend to another.

Yours,

Prime Minister Andrew Parsons

In 1959 Syria will construct its first nuclear power plant. As part of our mutual friendship, we would offer to build a modern, advanced (TL 7.5) power plant in Nigeria. While we understand it may be difficult to provide full funding immediately, with obligations throughout Africa, and so would offer alternative payment plans (12 points per year or 8 points per year) with construction beginning when payment is 50% complete.

In recent elections, the NNP maintained a mjority, stressing closer ties with Germany, South Africa, and the United States of America. Their platform also involves the spreading of Nigerian influence throughout north-west Africa and maximizing the economic and technological potential of Nigeria. In addition, a broad number of laws are passed increasing the power of the Federal governement.

Included:

-The power to nationalize any industry for the good of the country.

-The powers to imprison political dissidents or any person deemed to be working against the greater good during a time of national emergency.

-The FID is also granted broad powers, including permission to tap phone calls and preform searches provided they are granted warrants by a secret oversight court.

Liason officers and technicians from the SADF travel to Nigeria, to assist the Nigerians in developing modern missile technology. The transfer is a combination gesture of goodwill to Nigeria and demonstration of South African power and influence, but is also an element of of the Pan-Africanist policies that have steadily increased in importance in the South African government.

In late February as tensions explode across Europe and key Nigerian allies gear for war, the Nigerian military decides that the civilians have dithered enough. On February 19th the military, under the leadership of General Aguiyi-Ironsi, siezes control in Abuja. Infantry units storm the Presidental palace and parliament, placing the politicians under house arrest.

General Aguiyi-Ironsi declares himself temporary head of state until the economic and military crises are abated. He proceeds to order the military to full mobilization and announces Nigeria's support for Germany in the war against Turkey. In other words, war has been declared.

Messages are sent to Germany requesting assistance in transporting troops to the warzone. The Light Division is ordered onto the C123 transports for transport to Germany. The rest of the military is ordered to standby.

Nigeria's small navy (four destroyers, a light missile cruiser, and fleet carrier without aircrew) are ordered to rendevous with the German fleet in the Mediterranean for the time being.

Nigeria is at war.

in 1968 Yakubu Gowon, an ex-General, is elected President of Nigeria. After the ensuing Cameroon incident, he manages to get several reforms through parliament. In them it stipulates that money earned from the oil will be used for educatio and be handled by a nuetral third party so as to avoid corruption.

He also begins a series of anti-corruption campaigns, trying to avoid ethnic tensions. Other measures include massive education efforts and cultural integration programs.

Also passed in '68 is a law requiring all people aged eighteen to twenty-five to serve two years in the military or doing some other public work, usually alongside people from different cultural background.

In addition, a trade agreement is signed with India. [OOC: More on this later...]

In the meantime, Aguiyi-Ironsi, leader of the '64 coup has been made Chief of Staff of the new presidential regime. This probably stems from Gowon's service under him in previous years.

Abuja, Nigeria, April, 1968

In Nigeria’s capital talks are held involving President Yakubu Gowon, Chief of Staff Aguiyi-Ironsi and several notable high ranking Indian Cabinet Ministers from the Indian Republic. Present was the Indian Minister of External Affairs, the Minister of Power, the Minister of Commerce & Industry, the Minister of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, and the Minister of Atomic Energy.

Much was cheerfully discussed between the two parties, with an essay written by Indira Ghandi praising Yakubu Gowon for his “great leadership” and his government’s “tireless and successful efforts to return Nigeria to its former state of greatness before the Western Powers reduced it to poverty in the name of civilization” read aloud, President Gowon in return praising President Gandhi’s “exceptional intellect and foresight,” and the two sides signing a trade agreement, the Indian-Nigerian Trade Agreement, allowing for increased commerce between the two states and providing the Indian Republic with the materials necessary to build a civilian nuclear reactor in Madras in 1970. In return the Indian government agreed to pay back half the cost at 2 production points every year for 12 years.

Britain harshly condemns the annexation of Cameroon by Nigeria. This type of imperialism is not what Britain wants to see in the Commonwealth of Nations. We would ask that UN officials and troops be placed in the country, that Nigerian forces withdraw and a UN monitored plebescite be conducted into the future of the country. If they wish to be part of Nigeria then Nigerian troops may be replaced, otherwise UN and Commonwealth forces will take their place and rebuild Cameroon as a sovereign state. If there is no complaince then Britain will push for UN sanctions on Nigeria and suspension from the Commonwealth (OOC: which I am about to shake back into shape).

South Africa replies to the Nigerian proposal, stating that a unified peacekeeping force to deal with intracontinental disputes, and to better organize and command various African armies in the event of a conflict involving powers outside of Africa is an idea which the RSA supports fully.

However, the RSA states that any such force would, realistically, be financed and equipped in large part by South Africa and Nigeria. South Africa proposes placing the African Defense Force under the joint command of a South African-Nigerian General Staff until such time as a multinational organization such as the Organization of African Unity is able to take full command of the proposed ADF.

OOC: I sent GB an email requesting his advice on what to include in the ADF, but I think the basic idea should be to have a light force capable of moving quickly, with either a mechanized or armored division to give it some muscle. Tentatively, I'm thinking something along the lines of:

2x Parachute Brigades
1x Light Infantry Division
1x Mechanized (or Armored) Division
1x HQ Unit

A couple of attack helicopter units can provide air support, while a C130 unit or something can move the light units and drop paratroopers. The Nigerian and South African Air Forces can supplement the ADF if they need fighters or bombers.

Do you have any suggestions?
Kilani
08-08-2006, 19:03
OOC: I like it so far. I can provide the Mechanized Division and the light infantry if you can provide the parachute troops and the HQ. I'll work on getting some helis in '71 and '72.

OOC: I like it so far. I can provide the Mechanized Division and the light infantry if you can provide the parachute troops and the HQ. I'll work on getting some helis in '71 and '72.

OOC: South Africa's production is entirely used up in 1970, so I'll have to wait until '71 to build anything else. Figure by then we'll have a functioning OAU to take over, the military stuff built, and then we ('we' as in us and NPCs in Africa) can start putting surplus points into an OAU fund to operate and maintain the ADF. On that note, one of us should go to the NPC thread and see about getting other Africans to sign on to the ADF.
Malkyer
08-08-2006, 20:42
OOC: By email, GB suggests we go heavy on light infantry (maybe 4 parachute brigades instead of 2?), with an infantry division and a mechanized brigade as muscle. Throw in 2 attack helicopters and 1 or 2 transport helicopters and I think we're good to go. Any thoughts?
