Xindao Program (New Path Program): naval expansion

Post by Jonas »

The Xindao Program( New Path Program ) was an enormous rearmament plan of the Imperial Jingdaoese Headquarters with the goal to immensely expand the Army, and mainly its Navy. Several of the new parties who are popping up, including the Kuominliantang have shown support to this expensive program, as it's seen as the only way to keep the coasts and oversea territories of the Empire safe from foreign aggression.

The plan would happen in several phases over a relative long term, to allow the war industry to adapt to the necessary changes. The Navy already looked eastward, to its Passican allies who had extensive know-how but lacked the labour pools Jingdao had. If an agreement of expanding the war industry in joint cooperation could reached, the Xindao Program would make the Navy into one - or even the strongest - fleets of the world.

Current size (6460 ASC):
- 351,045 active duty personnel
- 108,299 reserve personnel

- 1 aircraft carriers
- 5 battleships
- 9 frigates / destroyers
- 17 corvettes
- 120 submarines
- 305 gunboats and auxiliary vessels

Stage 1 (6470 ASC):
- 1 aircraft carriers --> 2 aircraft carriers
- 5 battleships
- 5 Cruisers
- 9 frigates / destroyers --> 10 destroyers
- 17 corvettes
- 120 submarines
- 305 gunboats and auxiliary vessels
Stage 2 (6500 ASC):
- 2 aircraft carriers --> 4 aircraft carriers
- 5 battleships
- 5 Cruisers --> 10 Cruisers
- 10 frigates / destroyers --> 20 destroyers
- 17 corvettes --> 25 corvettes
- 120 submarines --> 160 submarines
- 305 gunboats and auxiliary vessels

Stage 3 (6530 ASC):
- 4 aircraft carriers --> 6 aircraft carriers
- 5 battleships
- 20 Cruisers --> 25 Cruisers
- 20 frigates / destroyers --> 30 destroyers
- 25 corvettes --> 35 corvettes
- 160 submarines --> 205 submarines
- 305 gunboats and auxiliary vessels
Stage 4 (6560 ASC):
- 6 aircraft carriers
- 5 battleships
- 25 Cruisers
- 30 frigates / destroyers
- 35 corvettes
- 205 submarines
- 305 gunboats and auxiliary vessels --> 360 gunboats and auxiliary vessels

Knowing very well that the extent of these plans would be a heavy industrial challenge, the war economy should mainly invest its efforts and funds in this project. Funds will be found by selling confiscated mansions, land, etc. of traitors, while budget cuts on the Food Program and other social programs would be welcomed by the HQ.

The Grand Secretariat confirms that the expansion of the naval forces has slowed down and is behind of schedule. The Imperial Yuan shall be asked to increase investments (to 100,000,000,000 Kara) to further increase our war industry and the possible purchase of ships in allied countries, like Passio-Corum through the Common Market.
