I wouldn’t worry about it. Pontoon bridges with removable sections are quite feasible, especially in the short term.

I meant to say the final permanent bridge, not the pontoon bridge.

Ah, well that’s simpler; either a drawbridge segment, or build her high. Suspension construction would be expensive, but possible.

You have the tech to build suspension bridges? Wouldn't that require steel?

Certainly. Though, it wouldn’t be the preferred use of the Imperium’s limited steel output. A drawbridge section is far more viable.

So could a few years of regional development and fleximg my influence across the other regions could steel and wrought iron be somewhat easy to develop for domestic and military affairs?

I’m not sure I follow- are you asking if you can flex P’kunk’s power? Or if steel and iron production would be easy to develop?

Sorry, would iron and steel be easy to develop?

Sorry, would iron and steel be easy to develop?

Not exactly. It depends largely on your personal knowledge of how to smelt iron ores, and identify them.

Then my knowledge will at least give us some time before steel and wrought iron that will make ironclads and mechanized shipyards.

[Ulls]

I'm back, couldn't stay away.

[G-Tech Corporation]

I'm back, couldn't stay away.

RIP Jeb.

[Ulls]

I'm back, couldn't stay away.

RIP Jeb.

So I'm already dead before I try to post?

[G-Tech Corporation]

RIP Jeb.

So I'm already dead before I try to post?

Naw, just joking.

More likely, RIP Turner.

[The Orson Empire]

....What do you mean G-Tech?

RIP Jeb.

So I'm already dead before I try to post?

No...but a fully-armed Great Company, along with supporting auxiliary units, is marching toward Ego to aid my army in a full-scale invasion of your nation.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh, Ulls? Wrong IC

[The Orson Empire]

Ulls, there's not really a way the Skulk would know anything about the false-flag attack.

This was an operation so highly classified that no one in Blue Lagoon's government knew about it; even most high-ranking officers in the Elite Guard didn't know about it.

The people that participated in the attack are dead (and even they didn't know most of the details or were told false information), and Turner killed the supervisor who organized the attack.

Got it this time.

It could be led back and edited out to make it seem like you try to goad an invasion against me, only for me to invade in fear of the Imperium. So in a way you got your way.

But the thing is, everyone in Blue Lagoon and in the Imperium only knows Turner's side of the story, which blames Ego for attacking first.

Turner has manipulated everything in such a way that there is no evidence of a false-flag attack. Turner not only succeeded in tricking the Imperium to send a Great Company to intervene, but Turner's own government even believes that Ego attacked first.

Not really, the Ego army couldn't just been killed, and Ego maintains its own consensus so if any soldier's did come after you until the invasion, they would know. The army now has designated units and squad numbers. If such a unit did pass through the border and raided the village, then there would be more than just everyone and that unit, it would be an army with the canons bearing down on Blue Lagoon.

[Ralnis]

Thing is Ulls, you still give him justification to go on the defensive as your invading him now. Even if his plan isn't fullproof, it did get you to attack first and the Great Company will probably fight on his behalf.

That may be true, but why would the Imperium have any reason to believe you?

Me and G-Tech have timeskipped a bit in the RP- the war started a month ago. Skirmishes have already been fought, and as far as the Imperium knows, you attacked first and started it.

Remember that this isn't 2018, where we can learn about breaking news within minutes of it happening. The amount of information Imperial authorities receive is limited, and if they receive news that one of their territories is under attack, they are going to act quickly, and there is little time to question it.

The reason I even did the false-flag attack in the first place is because the Emperor wouldn't approve of Turner invading Ego on his own. So I had to create my own casus belli for a war.

[Ulls]

Skirmishes have already been fought? You already have guns and support?

[The Orson Empire]

Skirmishes have already been fought? You already have guns and support?

Me and G-Tech didn't know if you were coming back or not, so he was going to RNG your nation.

No major field battles have been fought yet, but we are launching retaliatory strikes across the border.

And yes, I have guns.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Skirmishes have already been fought? You already have guns and support?

Turner has had some cannons since shortly after he was formally integrated into the Imperium five years ago, yes. And he has sent a missive east to Virginia detailing Ego’s aggression, a measure which has resulted in the Thirteenth Great Company being dispatched to defend the Imperium’s interests west of the Appalachians.
