Cruxium government, the Voice of Democracy, publically announced today that they were putting up an enormous military contract to equip the entirety of the their armed, naval and air forces.

It is believed that the contract could be with in excess of 1 trillion Sovreigns, approximately $1.6trn, with further contracts available for supplying nuclear and chemical agent equipped ICBM's and IRBM's.

This follows the recent introduction of armed forces, which has seen 0.7% of the population enter military service either directly or as support staff; approximately 6.6 million Cruxians.

According to a leaked version of the contract, emphasis is on; "An extensive air force and anti-air counter measures."

However it has also been stated that "basic" ground and naval units are desired. Special mention is made of multiple advanced submergibles with long range missile capabilities.

Additional parts to the contract include the controversial 'Red Queen Project', whereby the current Voice of Democracy vows to engage in extensive nuclear and chemical armament to "ensure the defense and safety of our nation and continent as a whole."

The following part of the document is an exact excerpt of the 'Red Queen Project' contract;


Construction and long-term maintenance of 40 missile silos within the nation. Construction and arming of 120 ICBM's, divided equally with nuclear and chemical warheads.
Construction and arming of 80 IRBM's, divided equally with nuclear and chemical warheads.


Information about the contract will be announced as early as possible.

In further news, Cruxium engages in talk with Kanami Prime Minister regarding religious taxation.

My recomendations are as follows, i would stick to them as your main supplier for that part of your armed forces as it improves logistics generally. If you require help with packages feel free to contact myself or the storefront owners, they are sure to help or give you advice on who to seek out for help.

Private Communique to Cruxium

Dear sir/madam.

Hotdogs2 has recently also been looking at its missile capabilities, in particular defence systems, and has therefore began to build itself a missile defence system, which in the future will incorporate the lastest and greatest in Ballistic Missiles. To that end we have been looking for foreign weapon systems to provide this defence system, and possibly looking at a highly automated system to reduce the required personnel to run the said system.

We would therefore be interested in working with Cruxium to find the greatest systems currently available and create a system with yourselves sharing expertise between our nations and therefore sharing the costs of research and development of the system. If you are interested then please contact us through the attached contact information to begin discussions.

Regards,
Defence Minister J. Alders

(OOC: Yeah I did look into a couple but the sheer volume of equipment on offer is more than a little daunting.)

MP Alders,

Having discussed your recent proposal with the my respected fellows, we have come to the decision to agree to your suggestion. As you seek to find advanced and highly automated systems, so do we seek to find autonomous and power systems capable of defensive action.

Currently one of the few areas that are to remain public is our military research center. Should you wish, as part of this proposed military research and development iniative, you are invited to an exchange of research personnel for the purpose of greater co-operation. Alternatively, my honourable colleagues have suggested the establishment of a co-operative research facility within neutral territory.

Should you feel it to be a mutually beneficial endeavour, then hopefully we will be able to engage in the specifics of establishing such a facility.

Yours Sincerely,
Philip Dunford
First Speaker Philip Dunford, Cruxium.

Well Hotdog2 gave my link to my storefront (thanks :) ), so that's been covered. I can help you out if you can tell me what you are looking for precisely. :)

OOC: Clan Smoke Jaguar do exceptionally good equipment esspecailly air and ground units. I'm not sure on Navy but Preatonia and Isselmere do good shipping.

Maccabees do exceptionally good MBT's and is selling one of the best (probably THE best) tank on the NS market to date.

If ordering mass amounts of stuff is daunting then use Clan Smoke Jaguar- all five (or four I can't remember) of his storefronts have links to each other and there is even a package option where he has selected the best possible combination of arms for one set price.

I use CSJMI for all of my army and new aircraft needs (not navy, i make those things myself), but he is one of the best.

IC:

If the storefronts provided by us or by other esteemed nations do not have what you are looking from on the Naval front- Stevid is willing to help provide for some of your naval needs.

(OOC: Check Stevid MOD in my signature)

NP SU, you are pretty good with your aircraft ;).

Dear First Speaker Dunford,

Hotdogs2 would be more than happy to exchange scientists, although if a neutral ground which we could readily use for experiments which we could also defend easily from any dodgy spying we want to make sure doesn't occur that would be excellent. It could then be used for further testing of other combat systems if you were to test any and we could also use it as a secret location.

We would suggest that it be done in secret, and for that reason we shall look into finding a suitable host for this base to be set up. An island where we shall be left in peace and any large explosions will be left alone would excell in the said task. It would also be advisable if it was easy to conceal, possibly in jungle or in mountanous areas.

If you have any further ideas please do contact us, we shall begin searching for such a place. It would be best if it was as secret as possible. To that effect we would gladly transport your scientists using air transport to a safe port and then via submarine(we use some of the best available and very stealthy) or other such methods.

On another note control of this co-operation shall be handed to Major-General Harfjord as he is an expert in air defence in the army and has been in control of several Research and Development facilities in the past. He also took part in the recent anazlysis of our current air defence systems.

Yours sincerly,

Defence Minister J. Alders

OOC: I'm good with special orders like these.

Encrypted Transmission from General Resources

If you want the ability to maintain 40 missile silos and 120 ICBMs we have the perfect solution, the Topol-N Quasiballistic Missile. Mounted either on the massive 12x12 truck or in a silo, it has a range of 11500 kilometres, and is one of the most well defended Quasiballistic missiles ever built.

It is entirely autonomous and has a CEP of 5 metres for each of its MIRVs, far too accurate for a Quasiballistic missile armed with a WMD warhead. The silos are naturally overpressurized, biologically and chemically safe, and can resist the blast of a nuclear warhead from 500 metres. The vehicles are similar, but need to be farther away to resist the blast of a nuclear warhead and survive, on the area of several kilometres.

The missile itself was designed to evade Western ABM systems, and uses retrorockets to do evasive manuveurs to evade terminal stage interceptors. It carries 6 drones that produce a larger signal than the Quasiballistic missile itself, and has ECCM to avoid ECM from spoofing the package.

Like the silo and vehicles it sits in, it is sheilded against radiation, an EMP, and nuclear blasts from 500 metres away. It is also sheilded against Western and Israeli MTHEL systems and is designed to survive a direct hit from them. When the MIRV's disengage and begin to move in, they will use thrusters to change their trajectory and confuse tracking systems.

Each silo costs just under a billion, $995 million USD, and each missile costs $20 million USD.

Notice this is a Quasiballistic missile which means it follows a lower trajectory than a ballistic missile and is capable of doing manuveurs that traditional ballistic missiles cannot, making them harder to hit and more accurate.

A submarine launched version the Bulava has similar capabilities, and is launched from the Borei-class submarine. They cost the same as the Topol-N.

As for IRBMs, the TR-1 Temp is probably the best choice, it uses the same launcher as the Scud but is far more advanced. It can launch faster, fly farther, and carry a larger payload.

A vehicle and its missile are only $20 million.

If you accept our contract offer, it will be 39.6 bilion USD for the silo systems, which includes everything you need. And the total ICBM and IRBM cost will be 40 billion USD. But wait, there is more, if you pay 80 billion USD it includes 40 additional decoy silos that look on the outside on thermal, visible and ultraviolet, just like a real silo. Also included are 80 decoy Scud launchers, they are simply trucks with plywood mockups built onto them and can erect their 'Scuds' fooling air forces into wasting million dollar bombs on a plywood mockup.

$80 billion includes the silos, the missiles, the launchers, and the decoys.

Defence Minister Alders,

In regards to a location for this research and development facility, we have considered the antarctica as one such location. However, there are remote islets not far from Cruxium in the deep pacific, as you are no doubt aware. Mayhap such an islet would be acceptable.

Unfortunately, our military is only now being established and as such we have no one suitable with a military rank. However, we have experienced scientists that we can grant a military rank unto.

Yours Sincerely,
Philip Dunford

(OOC: What I am effectively after is an entire military made with 6.6 million people, total. Amount available is $4 trillion after conversion. Emphasis is on aerial warfare, submergibles and defensive capabilities. Otherwise a relatively average ground and naval force. If anyone feels capable of helping, feel free to throw in advice/packages etc.)

*Bump*

OOC: Well I can give you what types you will need for your air force and you can decide how many you need of them.

(OOC: Out of interest, what does AWACS stand for?

Further, would your company be interested in establishing a market within Cruxium for the production of various items? Currently there are no military-related companies within Cruxium so you would have the run of the market, as well as being Cruxium's first choice for military paraphenalia.)

AWACS stands for Airborne Warning and Control System. And for the second question, sure. SUDI is always looking to expand into other nations. :)

(OOC: I see. Would you care to propose something in the Privatization Thread? The link is in my sig. All areas of military-based manufacture are currently open to the full extent so you would have a monopoly where military sales to the Cruxian government are concerned.)

[OOC: Then one may wish to add a link to one of his storefronts, eh Stevid? ;) :P]
