The USEA is aproached by the Scandic government and Saab representatives about the possiblity of purchasing the Viggen all weather fighter. The Viggen(comes out in 68) is the best fighter on the market(seriously). The only fighter in the world that is better is the Columbian Eagle(which the COlumbians are refusing to sell to anyone, even their fellow Americans). The SU has already made sails to your allies in Japan, China and the UIR and would be willing to sell as many aircraft as you want for 4 points a piece.

Stats:

Viggen air combat 18, strike 2, range medium, cost 4, maintenance 1, all weather fighter (Sweden)

Stats of next closest fighter aircraft on the market(Other than Columbian Eagle which is not on the market):
F14A Tomcat air combat 16, interceptor 20, strike 1, range medium, cost 6, maintenance 2, all weather fighter / interceptor, heavy carrier capable (which increases costs of heavy air groups by 2, and maintenance by 1)

Mig 21S air combat 16, strike 2, range short, STOL capable, cost 3, maintenance .5 (Poland)


Stats of the F4G Phantom in use by the Russian's(And I believe the Australians):

F4G Phantom Air combat 15, strike 5, range medium, all weather fighter bomber, US (Texas, Columbia, New England, Huron)

1967-1968:

When the new government takes power in 1967-1968 President/Prime Minister Indira Ghandi of the Republic of India is among the first to extend recognition, calls to personally congratulate the leadership, and expresses hope for a future of mutual cooperation once the world economy recovers.

The Indochinese government thanks the Scandic Union for this opportunity to buy military equipment. However at the moment several different manufacturers and suppliers are being evaluated to see which one is the best for Indochina. (Essentially we'll get back to you on that)

OOC:
Also if you read the Twilight war thread you'll find that the USEA no longer exsists and is now the Democratic Buddhist Republic of Indochina (DBRI).
I actually did it because GB kept spelling USEA wrong :p.

The UIP wonders if Indochina still needs the three Filipino Parachute Brigades, or if they are able to return home and/or be sent to China for help.

The Indochinese thank The UIP for their asistance and report that the presence of the three parachute is no longer required.

You are very welcome, and we were glad to be of any help. We will be moving two of the brigades to China and then returning one home. We hope to see a bright future for the both of us.

The Kingdom of Bulgaria officially recognizes the new Government and hopes that it would make a full recovery with a lot of international aid and a lot of heart...

Concerned by the growing black market trade in narcotics coming from southern Laos and northern Cambodia the central government cracks down and locks out the the drug lords.
A sub-division of the argiculture ministery is then created to regulate the grrowing of opium poppies and the like. Many ex-drug lords opt to work within the system and register as narcotic processors and buyers.
Growers are allowed to keep their crop as long as they only sell to government registered buyers and submit to quality checks.
Growers are now allowed to apply to the government for grants to buy fertiliser and seeds.
Most of the crops grown are processed in to medical drugs such as morphine and other painkillers which are then exported or used domestically, however large portions of it are refined into narcotics by drug-lords gone legit and exported mainly to the west.

(In short the government have legitimised the growing of narcotic crops and got in on the action themselves by making it a visible business that can be taxed.)

OOC: I smell Saigon becoming Asia's Amsterdam....but that's just me.

IC:

Korea applauds the Indochinese for taking a step towards combating drug smuggling, albeit in an unorthodox fashion.

Inspired by similar measures, 1970 sees the Juche Party and Korean radicals pushing for similar decriminalization measures, though these protests focus more on the traditional decriminalization of marijuana, heroin, etc. as well.

The Red Lotus Aid organisation is formed in 1968 to help deal with the recovery efforts after the nuclear bombardment. Funded by Buhddist monastries and more recently the government it has become the official aid organisation of Indochina and ahs recently expanded its area of operations from Burma and Indochina to the whole of South Asia with the insurgencies in Bengal and Pakistan.

The Red Lotus heavily utilses military surplus vehicles in its projects, Ht-5 Aoi transport and medievac helicopters allow for quick transportion of teams to needed areas and then wounded back to hospitals. Also used are surplus Type-7 'Kili' armoured personel carriers that can transport wounded and medical teams around active combat areas in relative safety.
A number of rugged utility vehicles such as those made by Jokpe Auto are also heavily used.
All vehicles used by the Red Lotus are painted white with a large red lotus visibly shown on the sides, most vehicles also have many Bhuddist prayer flags affixed to them.

The Philippines wishes to address the current Indochinese concerns, especcially aobu the repeal of the Nuclear Ban. We want it to be informal and as relaxed so that Indochina may perhaps help keep the UIP from being forced to use drastic measures.
