As it is still in its early stages of production, the cost of building the milling equipment producing it must still be paid off. We will happily export the rifle to America at roughly $1,299.99 per rifle.


We gladly accept your offer on one thing. This might be picky but i need to know.

In 1940 $1 was equal to about $15's today. This obviously happened due to inflation.

So would i be right in saying one rifle would cost me $19,495 in today's money, or are we not adjusting for inflation, and just saying money then is the same now? If you understand what i mean?

$20k a rifle is steep. We will order in a couple hundred if that is okay. We will test it, see how it fits in with the army. See if the soldiers like it.

Very well. 250 of the rifles will be procured and shipped to America, for a grand total price of $3,249,997.50. You know what? We'll even give you a discount. Let's make it $3,250,000.00 even.

United Democratic South America Republic
(U.D.S.A.R)

After receiving news that the Americans accepted the trade deal and other negotiations, the Government has announced the creation of a fleet of cargo ships and has employed thousands of South Americans to take up the job.

While the Government focuses on military and infrastructure, many large businesses have began investing all over South America and the revenue is projected to be high as long as the political situation remains stable.

Military training has ramped up as the Republic prepares for further expansions into South America. Industrial factories are working on the prototypes of long range bombers and armored vehicles.

Meanwhile, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana and Ecuador have all replied to the letters sent. Ecuador has rejected the offer to join the Republic, while the other three have accepted the offer and are having provincial governments established through democratic elections.

The peace pact between Russia and Germany has brought a sense of loyalty to Fuhrer Reins, who will back Russia if war breaks out in America.

German borders are expanding with the recent purchase of half of Poland, as well as the annexation of Denmark. German civilians are begining to migrate north to enjoy the wonderful weather that the Danish islands have to offer.

Maybe expand a little. That way you won't feel so powerless.


They are but specs of dust, lets be honest. And powerless? I am on par, if not above you on power. I have more political influence (In this case wont help me), More industrial capacity, and simply more money to fund the army. And very Patriotic people. Russia is very unstable and this time. America is solid. I have a good base of operations. I am anything but powerless.


More industrial capacity? I beg to differ. Every city inside Ragnaran territory is practically extra industrial capacity, and there are a lot of them.

Russia is very unstable and this time. America is solid.


And that's why we where one of the nations that decided to change the nations politics at the beginning of the RP.

and simply more money to fund the army


Maybe, but then again, our small arms at this moment in time are about 10 years ahead of your own. So money doesn't really matter.

And very Patriotic people


And what happened to the supposedly unpatriotic Russians when the Nazi's invaded?

I think you are also ignoring my airforce, which is second priority after the army. And the fact that Russia has the capability to be completely self reliant if it so wishes.

They are but specs of dust, lets be honest


I bet they would disagree.

The Ragnaran prime minister thanks Germany for their friendship in this tension filled time.

We could help Germany with its weaponry projects. At the moment Ragnaran troops have DKB36 assault rifles. We recommend you create something similar in concept to increase your troops effectiveness.

With the tensions growing, Ragnarum begins another recruitment drive. While this is underway, large amounts of Anti-air guns are put in places expected to be vulnerable to naval bombing. Airfields are on high alert.
If an attack does happen, it is expected to be on the far eastern flank, which is the only "logical" attack route (not that doing that would be clever)
There is however another supposed attack route...

Ragnaran submarines and patrol boats prowl around the ocean.

Meanwhile, more money is being put into technological research of... Certain things. Ragnarum would be happy to receive donations.

How effective are those weapons you talk about? We are fine with infantry with the MP40 and MP44, but you industrial capacity could help us. Maybe wwe could have a little deal. Supply us with Anti Aircraft weapons, bullets, bombs, and some tanks, all in German model, and you have our 100% backing in a war.

That would be silly. Not only am I rather closely allied with them, but they MIGHT decide not to be neutral in the war between us and America that may or may not happen, and since they are in the group of nations that need to be "restrained" I think they may be with us

The Italians finish the invasion of Saudi Arabia, making the nation part of the Italian Empire. The Italians intend to stop expansion, for now.

At the rumors of a possible war between Russia and America, the Italians would fight alongside the Russians and against the Americans. The belief being that two great empires fighting against America, that America would either lose or be forced to pull out by their own citizen's hatred towards war.

Meanwhile, two aircraft carriers have been completed, another ten submarines and five destroyers have also been completed. This increases Italy's navy power to: 45 submarines, 15 destroyers, 25 cruisers, and 3 aircraft carriers. Another aircraft carrier is begun to be worked on, as well as another 15 submarines and 10 destroyers.

The Spanish fleet moves in for the kill. Over 100 Spanish bombers were deployed against the Italian capital of Rome and delivered their payload of bombs atop the city, mainly targeting ships and government buildings. Upon the return of the bombers (Which saw 40 casualties), the submarines moved in, further into Italian waters with the battleships, cruisers and transports close behind. The army at Morocco crosses the Strait of Gibraltar and lands on the other side, opening fire on the Italian lines.

New Carloso wrote:The past year has seen a massive surge in the numbers joining the Spanish armed forces with over 3,000,000 men in the ground forces alone. All across the nations, the construction of thousands of aircraft, ships and armoured vehicles has been ordered with hundreds rolling off the production lines every month. While 100,000 are being sent off to bring order to the colonies, 2,000,000 soldiers are poised in Malaga with several hundred transports. 60% of the navy has been moved to the Mediterranean, mainly consisting of aircraft carriers (2), submarines (79), battleships (2), battlecruisers (7), light cruisers (32) and destroyers (83). They are beginning to move towards Italy with an army of 400,000 on transports.

İzmir, Anatolia, The Balkan federation

The largest meeting in this region's history took place today. The president, prime minister, the king, as well as every politician, large company managers, royal family member older than 18, as well as other famous and important people from the Balkans had a huge meeting in the town hall of İzmir. There were 1000 people in the meeting hall.

The final constitution was made, as well as a resolution to many problems the nation is facing both internally and externally. One of topics of discussion was the growing possibility of a war between two superpowers, the US and Russia.

The US government's threat has been clear to president Kažimi. Expansion shall be slowed down. But, don't expect it to be completely over.

The Balkan Federation has decided to stay neutral in case of war, and shall only attack the side which attacks either the Federation, or it's closest ally, the Eastern Alliance.

Done.

Ragnarum has stationed large amounts of troops on the border of Iran. An invasion is expected.

The Balkan Army stations it's troops in south-east Turkey.

The Balkan Federation has an offer to Ragnarian Russia.
We can help you in defeating Persia. In exchange, we just want the Kurdistan and Kermanshah provinces.

If you decline, our troops will leave. No harm done.
