The Department of Defense announced a new Naval Building Program today. The Royal Navy will continue with several projects which are currently under progress. The Royal Navy will be centered around two Carrier Battle Groups and one Amphibious Assault Battle Group.

The Carrier Battle Group will be build around the Future Carrier, dubbed Project 001. Each Battle Group will further have up to 5 Type 45 Destroyers, 5 of the new MSVD (Medium Sized Vessel Derivative) dubbed project 002 and 5 Sundown Anti mining Warfare Ships. For further protection 5 Astute Class SSN will be included.

The Amphibious Battle Group will ensure that the United Kingdom will continue to be able to project its power abroad if necessary.

These vessels will be supported by a flotilla of 5 Type 45 Destroyers and 5 MSVD. 5 Sundown Anti Mining Ships and 4 Hunt Class Anti mining Ships will complete the surface part of the Battle Group. Submarine Guidance will be given by 4 Astute Class SSN.

The Submarine Force will be expanded as well. One additional Vanguard Class SSBN will be build. A Nuclear Deterrent Submarine protection Force of 5 Astute Class Submarines will be constructed. An Independent Submarine Force of 8 Astute Class SSN will complete the Royal navy of the 21st. Century. The First Sea Lord estimates that the project will take 5 to 7 years.

Rei Arakawa arrived at Heathrow; she was dressed in full cerimonial Pastle blue robes of the Regligous and Black of the Warrior caste; Rei was an oddity in Animarnia Socity a true 'half breed' a diplomat and a warrior; a fighter pilot actually. she was barely 24 years of age her hair was cut like an orange bob. she decended the stair case to the hanger passing through english customs looking around in awe at the airport; happily inhaling the smell of jet fuel looking for whomever would meet her...

Waiting just behind the Customs Area, Prime Minister David Cameron and Foreign Secretary William Hague. The Entire area was closed of to public by security guards. When the PM saw Rei Arikawa he smiled and walked forward.

"Welcome Milady *bows and shakes hands after rising again* I hope you've had a pleasant flight? Please follow me."

The PM, the Foreign Minister and Rei Arikawa walked towards a door which was guarded by two policemen. They were followed by 5 Secret Service Officers. The party went through the doors, down a staircase and walked through a long tunnel towards an underground parkinglot. Waiting there was an escort of 8 motorcycles and two cars. The PM, the Foreign Minister and Arikawa went into the first one, the Secret Service Officers in the second. The convoy then drived away towards London. In the car turned towards his guest.

"Milady, do you want anything to drink? I can serve you Champagne, Wine, Water or different types of Soda. Tea and Coffee are also an option.

We will first go to the Foreign Office. Mr Osbourne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will await us there. He is currently busy with a new Bill concerning our Railway System, quite boring believe me!"

Westminster, House of Commons

In a move that surpised the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats, the Chancellor of Exchequer and the Transport Secretary announced the Nationalisation of the Railways in Ireland and Great Britain. All Railway Companies will be united under the British-Irish Rail (BIR). According to the Transport Secretary, the Ralway COmpanies have not shown that they can bear the responsability of operating and maintaining a Railway Line. The Labour Party reacted jubilant and said that they would support the proposal. With this support the Nationalisation wil almost certainly get through the House of Commons and House of Lords.

Rei smiled pleasantly "Rei is fine; no need for such formalities as 'Milady' " she said her voice somewhat gravely but also alluring and sultry. "Coffee" she said with a smile "you are simply divine Mr Cameron" Rei liked her coffee.

"Our state also runs the rail system; in fact we are mass modernising our rail system over the next 8 years; changing 20% of our network over to Magline's capable of reaching speeds up to 500Kph. It's running side by side with our project to build a large tunnel under the south of Sudan to link Tanzania to Central Africa without flying" She said with a smile.

Rei definitely liked the car stylish and comfortable but through the vibrations she could feel the pulse of a powerful engine; "What type of car is this? I would love to get one of these back home, I like to Race"

"Interesting. We also plan the construction of a High Speed Railway Network through the United Kingdom, including a tunnel connecting Britain proper with Ireland. It is quite a big project, but we have the expertese with the CHannel Tunnel. Perhaps we can help each other in these projects.

The car is a Rolls Royce Phantom. I can arrange one as a State Gift if you want. Everything can be arranged *laughs*. I believe we're almost at the Foreign Office. Oh, as for your residence here, the Foreign Office has excellent Guest Suites. We can also call one of the big hotels of course, but we can't garantue the same amount of security there."

The Cars were once again driven in an underground parkinglot. The party entered an elevator which brought them to the 5th. Floor within moments. David Cameron then lead the Foreign Minister and Arikawa into a large office, where the Chancellor of the Exchequer was waiting. He turned around and greeted Miss Arikawa. he then turned to the PM.

"David, good to see you once again! I got the Railway nationalisation through the Commons. The Reds couldn't believe their ears! They were quite surprised I must say! Oh, by the way, I might have some interesting information for you. I bumped into Liam (Defense Secretary) and he said MI6 have picked up some interesting stuff in the German Confederation. Might get a little hot across the sea."

The Prime Minister thought for a while and then wrote a note. He then turned towards his guest.

" I'm sorry for the small thing. Shall we begin?"

Rei smiled; "I think that can be arranged; your nation obviously has a lot to offer our people" she said; her skin was a tint of Asian. It was obvious to anyone she was at least part Japanese. "As for where I stay; I don't mind; whatever is easier for you." She smiled.

She looked at the chancellor with a hint of curiosity; "Reds? Do you mean communists?" she said.

She couldn't help but overhear; "Yes our intelligence networks are concerned about the German troop movements too. They are a robust and interesting people very efficient; excellent engineers but also a little bit frightening after all they did start two world wars; such things tend to make the world look carefully when the Germans start moving soldiers around"

"But yes. Onto business; We are sitting on Oil; lots of it; we are aggressively developing our economy and industries that were raped during the colonial era and World War II. Animarnia is one of the most prosperous and strongest powers in the region with a high growth rate. What can the United Kingdom bring to the table?" Rei was firm and to the point but polite her warrior caste instincts kicking in making her 'shoot from the hip' as it were.

Rei smiled; "I think that can be arranged; your nation obviously has a lot to offer our people" she said; her skin was a tint of Asian. It was obvious to anyone she was at least part Japanese. "As for where I stay; I don't mind; whatever is easier for you." She smiled.

David Cameron looked happy as he said:

We will discuss it later on then. I think it's best for you to stay at the Foreign Office Suites.

She looked at the chancellor with a hint of curiosity; "Reds? Do you mean communists?" she said.

Chancellor:"Hahahaha! No, thank god no! We currently don't have any communists in parliament. I meant the Labour Party. It's an old conservative joke to call them Reds."

She couldn't help but overhear; "Yes our intelligence networks are concerned about the German troop movements too. They are a robust and interesting people very efficient; excellent engineers but also a little bit frightening after all they did start two world wars; such things tend to make the world look carefully when the Germans start moving soldiers around"

The smile on David Cameron's face dissapeared. He looked quite serious now.

"Yes, the Germans don't have a pleasant history. But we've beaten them twice, if necessary we can beat them again. But I don't think it will be something which threatens the UK's strategic position. We'll keep a close eye on the situation though."

"But yes. Onto business; We are sitting on Oil; lots of it; we are aggressively developing our economy and industries that were raped during the colonial era and World War II. Animarnia is one of the most prosperous and strongest powers in the region with a high growth rate. What can the United Kingdom bring to the table?" Rei was firm and to the point but polite her warrior caste instincts kicking in making her 'shoot from the hip' as it were.

The Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary and the CHancellor listened with interest. They knew that Animarina was booming, and if a Oil Deal could be signed, British Industry could hop on. When Miss Rei was finished, the Chancellor spoke.

"Well, to be honest, Britain can offer little more than currency. We can help you with the Industrial Expansion. We also produce military hardware, if your interested. Eventhough we posses massive reserves of oil to fulfill our Domestic Needs, it is not enough for our entire domestic consumption. Does Animarina need anything in special?"

SIC.

BIKINI Status has been raised to Special Black due to several unsetteling intelligence reports from Germany. The Carrier Battle Group will be put out to sea within 24 hours. Air and Naval Patrols will be increased. Nimrods and E3 Sentries will patrol over the North Sea, the English Channel and the Atlantic protected by one flight per Nimrod/Sentry.

The Nuclear Deterrent Forces will remain in port.

David Cameron looked happy as he said:

Rei blushed slighty "you'll have to forgive me; I have only ever heard the term 'reds' until now refer to Comunists" she said a little embarased.

"As for the germans; yes; there is little we can or have the will to do at this time; if they come to our lands then we will fight; the Warrior caste are born soldiers and fight with verocity and strength much like the Indian Gurka Regiments" she added; "I Myself am an oddity at home; born to a cross caste couple I am part diplomat; part warrior. I tend to offer all methods of diplomacy and if that fails be ruthless; some say people like myself are the future of our people"

Rei listened to the Chancelor; "We do have sevreal needs actually; as you said you have experiance making large tunnels we would like to borrow some of your experts for our Sundanese tunnel project; though construction has been on going for two years we belive that you can help us avoid some of the pitfalls that plagued the channel tunnel so as to keep us on target for completion at 10 years. We are also working on geneticly engineering Tree's that can thrive in desert conditons to populate some of our desert areas with to hopefully increase rain and stimulate Agriculture development this could have a good effect on africa as a whole providing more water and more temprate conditons sutable for growing foodstuffs which in tern could be exported back to you and to poorer areas of Africa to feed the starving" Rei paused briefly to let this information sink in.

"Our Oil Plants currently produce some 2 million Barrels of oil a day; our needs are currently significantly less than that at 300,000 barrels a day leaving us with some 1.5 million Barrles a day up for export with a small buffer that will be put unto storage for future use by us as Fosil fuels become more scarse; We think this deal would be advantagous to you as it will reduce your need for Oil from the middile east at a competative price of $50 USD a Barrel for sweet crude this is less that middleastern oil which is currently selling for some $69 a barrel if not higher; we can also offer refined patrolium if needed. we also have large deposites of Uranium."

"Long Term we are looking to develop Nuclear Fission or Plasma Fusion reactors as our nations starts to become more energy hungry with the mass modernisation and development thanks to investment from the Han Empire though we have no need or desire for nuclear weapons. in fact the recent nuclear attack in Russia has convinced even our most hardline elements of the Warrior caste that nuclear weapons are not something we wish to persue", she paused.

"We have been modernising our miltary some though; our Navy In particular is lacking consiting of a few World War II Era submarinas and warships; none of which are currently operational. perhaps it would be posable for the United Kingdom to refit our surface Fleet with modern technology as we are already purchasing some Visby Class Corvetts from the Scandinavians we would also be interesting in buying some of your Type 42 Shefield class destroyers once the Type 45 enters full production." She finnaly went quiet; she hope that she hadn't said too much in one go.

Rei said some very interesting things. The longer the Prime Minister was in her company, the more he felt that the United Kingdom and Animarnia could become close friends or even allies.

" We can send an team of engineers to Sudan and within a year three TBM's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_boring_machine) can be assembled and shipped to your country. We can also send a team of advisors and former employees of the Channel Tunnel to advise you in managing the tunnel. As you perhaps know, the Channel Tunnel was a huge financial problem for the UK. It is al solved now but it took the better part of 15 years to make the tunnel profitable or at least prevent any losses.

Britain is on of the front runners in Genetical Modification. Your country can use our facilities and experts if you need them.

We need an amount of 500.000 barrels/day. At aprice of $50 per barrel, it would be 25 million USD per day, or 9.125 billion USD per year. We are also interested in Uranium. We also seek a good replacement for fossil fuels and are currently expanding our Nuclear Powerplants.

Perhaps we can start a joint research in Fusion Reactors? Both our countries will benefit greatly from such a combined research.

We can certainly supply you with Type 42 Class Destroyers. You can also order Type 45 Destroyers if you want a Navy which is fit for 21st century Naval Combat. We can also supply you with two Swiftsure Class SSN. We are currently modernizing the fleet and these submarines are the first to be replaced by our new SSN Submarine. If you desire any other military hardware, feel free to ask.

Ultra SIC.

The Royal Air Force has started two new projects.

RAF 001-TPST
The Development of a bomber with Stealth Capabilities based on the Avro Vulcan. researchers will first look if an old vulcan, with new engines, cooled exhausts and slightly different features ("stealthier"), is usable. Based on this model, called Model 001, researchers will develop a new plane. A total budget of 8 Billion Pound Sterling/Year will be invested in this project.

RAF 002-TPST
The development of a Supersonic Transport Plane based on the Concorde Planes. The Air Force had requested a transport which can transport troops over long distances at high speeds. If possible, the plane must be able to slow down to lower speeds in case of Air Borne Missions. The project is difficult, if not impossible. 5 billion Pound Sterling/Day will be invested in this project.

To say Rei was surprised was understating it considerably though it never showed through "That agreement is quite satisfactory we can start exporting Oil to you imediately" she said with a nod "we would be honoured to work with the United Kingdom on such matters as Genetic Engineering and Fusion"

"How much money would be required to buy say Four Type 42 destroyers, Two Type 45 Destroyers and the two Swiftsure SSN Submarines?

David Cameron looked happy with reaching an agreement so soon. He also seemed happy with the possible sale of military hardware.

"I think the Chancellor can give you the exact details for the purchasing, but my estimate is around 1 billion USD (ooc. 21 million/Type 42, 125 million/Type 45 and 600 million for the Swifstsures=934 million USD Total Costs). We can also supply you with Lynx helicopters or the new EH 101 Merlin Helicopter for service on the ships. The maintenance of the Swiftsures (new reactor cores et cetera) is included in the cost.

"That is quite Resonable and we would like the Merlins as we are seeking to build a Green water navy capable of defending our own waters for the most part" she said with a nod; "it would be acceptble to pay for each ship upon Delivery to us? we would also require training on on the new ships as previously stated we have not operated a full nany since World war II as the cost for maintaining such ships was diverted to other more critcal areas at the time with the economic boom we now have the funds to operate a navy once again and some members of the army will be transfering to the navy this year"

"Would it be posable to modernise our current Mothballed warships? they are sea worthy just old (OOC think about 12 of so Old british WWII destoyers and light crusers and one or two WWII subs) it would be quite useful to us if they could become fully operational again"

"You expressed interest in developing nuclear reators at home; would you have use for some of our Uranium Ore?"

"Such a payment deal can be arranged of course. About the modernizing of the ships...It would be hard and I doubt if it can be done. We can send a team of specialists. They can decide if the vessels can be modernized.

Your Naval Personnel is welcome at Royal Navy Boot Camps and Academy's of course. If your country sends them over now, they are ready for service by the time the ships are delivered.

We are also interested in a Uranium Deal. At what cost wil you sell us Uranium?

"We can send two regiments (2000 men) to the royal navy accadamy; as the Royal Navy has one of the best repurations in the world for naval vessels and cadets. you will find our soldiers quite enthusiastic" she said with a smile.

"As for the price of our Uranium; I belive the current price on the world market is some $45 per Kilogram" Rei replied; "Though I can't be sure without the data in front of me; this is for pure Uranium ore; not enriched which would be significantly more of course"

"We also have deposits of Diamonds, Gold, Cotton, Livestock, Phosphates, Coal, Iron, Limestone and Gypsum all of which is exportable for a price"

(OOC: How much does uranium usually export for? and we know the subs are probably gonna be scrapped but the surface ships could be refitted as the hulls are good.)

OOC. I've no idea about the price of uranium, and I couldn't find it anywhere (wiki failed me:(). I think it's higher than $48/kilo. More or less something like $500 to $5000 dollars per kilo. After all it's pretty rare stuff, you can do nasty things with it and there's a high demand for the stuff. As for the ships, I'll modernize them, but ICly I'll let the Experts decide on that. Don't worry, it'll happen.

" We will welcome them with open arms! Perhaps we can expand our training and selling deal a bit and make it a Mutual Naval Pact. Shortly said, we will help you with training etc. and supply you with vessels at quite a low cost. You'll also be welcome in our ports, and the Royal Navy in yours.

As for the uranium, we can enrich it in Britain, but we could also build an enrichment plant in Animarnia. You could use it as well, so you'll benefit too. As for the other export products, I have no idea what we need at the moment *glanes at the Chancellor* but I'm sure if we need anything we can contact Animarnia?

OOC: We'll go with $500 a kilo then as it sounds pretty reasonable.

Rei nodded; "I would have to consult with my supriors over such matters as a mutual naval pact but I can provisonally agree to such an arangment as I cannot see my suprirors turning down such an offer (OOC: Assume her superiors agree)"

"as for Uranium Enrichment on our soil this sounds quite reasonable though it is something we would have to investigate as the plant would need added security for these processing plants due to elements such as Islamic terrorists who would like to get there hands on such matirials the recent nuclear disaster in russia has taught us to be wary; perhaps a joint Security operation for the facilitys between the United Kindom Army and our own Royal Army"

"and of course the United Kingdom is always welcome in Animarnia; In fact we can extend a formal invitation to our Summer festival and Royal Airshow that will occur soon" she said with a smile.

"as Stated earlier We are also extramly intesting in Thorium Reactors for nuclear power as our scientists say these are very very efficent and damn near imposable to blow up or make weapons grade matirials from. though we do not currently have the funds to finance such projects as our research and development budget has already been allocated to other domestic projects"

OOC: just some figures to help.

Apparently market price for uranium has reached $494 per kilo, so $500 is pretty close. But that's was like a 30% increase over 2 months, and 1000% over 4 years. Additionally Niger has a max production capability of some 3,800 tonnes.

"I will patiently await an official reply from your superiors then. We can also provide security for the Enrichement Plants. It may also be a good experience for the men to learn Desert Combat.

I think the Royal Air Force wil be happy to attend your show. Mr Liam Fox, the Defense Secretary, will send a list of participating aircraft in the near future.

As for the Thorium Reactors, I've just ehard that teh Han Empire proposes an international research and development program for Fusion Power. perhaps we can combine our efforts there.

ooc. Thanks!

The Chancellor now stepped foward.

" I'm sorry to interrupt you both, but I can give you more information on the price of Urnaium at the moment. The current price is around $500/kg, but the growing demand has led to a huge increae of the price. It may become more expansive in the future."

"Thank you John. Now, do we have anything else to discuss, or shall we head for dinner? I'm quite certain the Queen would be happy to meet you."

Rei smiled quite happily; her wife would be extreamly pleased with this aragnemt; "$500 it is and how much would you like exported to you a month?" she asked.

"Our Warrior Caste would be happy to train your soldiers in Desert combat and the queen...I'm not exactly dressed for such a meeting sir, Royalty where I come from require very specific dress codes and practices...I havn't prepared" she blushed. "Perhaps you could supply me with some apropriate protocols and clothing for meeting your Queen?"

"Well, we need enough for 5 Nuclear powerplants, each with three reactors. I guess it'll be something like 4000 kilo's a year (ooc. just saying something). I'm sure you can supply us with that amount? As for the Desert Combat, it would be great! The Armed Forces of the United Kingdom thank you!

I would happily join you in the search for decent clothes. Don't worry about all the different codes and rules. Just behave naturally, and it'll be ok.

I suggest we go to Oxford Street. Please follow me!"

ooc. shall we end it here, or would you like to continue with the dinner?

As they walked out of the Office Policemen started closing off Oxford Street for the Public. Shop personell was instructed that a high ranking official may visit their shop within a few minutes.

The United Kingdom's shipyards are currently busy with our own needs. However, we can build 2 Vessels within 2 years. The remaining vessels will be ready in 3-5 years. We can also supply you with helicopters for service on the ships.

(OOC: if the FCV is ready can I get those instead then? Since I have helicopters, but I just realised no STOVL planes)

(OOC: if the FCV is ready can I get those instead then? Since I have helicopters, but I just realised no STOVL planes)

ooc. You can get one for free, I'm planning to use the other two in my Amphibious Assault Battlegroup. So within two years you get 3 Invincible Class Carriers.

I can supply you with Harriers, but they are a bit outdated. Mine will be replaced by the F35 Lightning II soon.

OOC: sorry, just to clarify; does that mean I get to buy the Future Carrier? If that's possible I would go back and edit my original post. It'll be a pain trying to get new planes to put on the Invincible, Harriers or F-35 or otherwise.

The United Kingdom of Great Birtain and Ireland agrees to sell an Export Version of the FCV to Kiwiland at a cost of 2.25 Billion Pound Sterling. We furthermore like to enquire if Kiwiland is interested in a Military Pact.

Defense Minister Liam Fox

The Department of Defense announced a new Naval Building Program today. The Royal Navy will continue with several projects which are currently under progress. The Royal Navy will be centered around two Carrier Battle Groups and one Amphibious Assault Battle Group.

The Carrier Battle Group will be build around the Future Carrier, dubbed Project 001. Each Battle Group will further have up to 5 Type 45 Destroyers, 5 of the new MSVD (Medium Sized Vessel Derivative) dubbed project 002 and 5 Sundown Anti mining Warfare Ships. For further protection 5 Astute Class SSN will be included.

The Amphibious Battle Group will ensure that the United Kingdom will continue to be able to project its power abroad if necessary. The centre of the Battle group will be two Ocean Class LPH Ships (one to enter service in one year). These vessels will be supported by a flotilla of 5 Type 45 Destroyers and 5 MSVD. 5 Sundown Anti Mining Ships and 4 Hunt Class Anti mining Ships will complete the surface part of the Battle Group. Submarine Guidance will be given by 4 Astute Class SSN.

The Submarine Force will be expanded as well. One additional Vanguard Class SSBN will be build. A Nuclear Deterrent Submarine protection Force of 5 Astute Class Submarines will be constructed. An Independent Submarine Force of 8 Astute Class SSN will complete the Royal navy of the 21st. Century. The First Sea Lord estimates that the project will take 5 to 7 years.

Total Costs:
Project 001-4 billion for two ships
Project 002-1.8 billion
Astute Class-22 billion of 22 Submarines
Type 45 Destroyers-2.2 Billion for 15 Vessels
Additional Costs for Existing Ships-3 Billion
Upgrading Naval Yards and Shelters-5 Billion
Total Cost: 38 Billion pound Sterling for the Total Naval Building Program

ooc. Due to fluid time, I'll start using the new Fleet after the France conflict is resolved.

With pride the Royal Navy has announced that it has finished the building of the New Fleet. The Two Carrier Battle Groups and the Amphibious Battlegroup are ready for action. Probably the first test for the new Navy is the planned Excercise on the North Sea with the Scandinavian State of Futuris. Several Naval Specialists and members of Parliament have called for a Third Carrier Battlegroup, which will provide further projection of power abroad. A Third Carrier Battlegroup is considered but for now two are sufficient.

The development of a Supersonic Transport Plane based on the Concorde Planes. The Air Force had requested a transport which can transport troops over long distances at high speeds. If possible, the plane must be able to slow down to lower speeds in case of Air Borne Missions. The project is difficult, if not impossible. 5 billion Pound Sterling/Year will be invested in this project.

ULTRA SIC.

The Results of RAF 001-TPST have been satisfactionary. The Engineers managed to greatly reduce the Radar detection of the experimental model. Three working models have been build and the first test flights have been made in the North of Scotland and over the North Atlantic. If succesful, the RAF will order 54 Aircraft of this type.

RAF 002-TPST as expected has been dissapointing. It is hard to develop an efficient supersonic aircraft capable of transporting troops over long distances and which is still capable of Airborne missions. The RAF continues to develop such a plane, and the funding is increased to 10 Billion Pound Sterling/Year.

The RAF also announced a new project, RAF 003-TPST. The goal of the project will be the development of a Stealth Fighter/Bomber. The Engineers will continue with the data and prototype of the BAE Replica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Replica). A budget of 4.5 Billion Pound Sterling/Year is allocated to this project.

OOC. We have a deal then. :D

The United Kingdom of Great Birtain and Ireland agrees to sell an Export Version of the FCV to Kiwiland at a cost of 2.25 Billion Pound Sterling. We furthermore like to enquire if Kiwiland is interested in a Military Pact.

Defense Minister Liam Fox

Thank you for your approval; the total of $17.64 billion for 4 carriers will be wired in 4 equal installments over the next 2 years. It was a pleasure doing business with the United Kingdom.

We will also be glad to enter the proposed Military Pact. It is our most sincere wish to see a second Anglo-Japanese Alliance come into being. In these turbulent times it is all the more important that we cooperate closely.

Sincerely,

Lexis Saigg,
Kiwiland Defence Minister
