An Act to Promote the Defense of the Jingdaoese Empire

Post by Jonas »

To defend the Empire, we need strong allies. While I am sure that in case of all-out war our friends will do what is necessary, we must consider that the Brettish are still licking their wounds after the liberation of their Home Isles, while Calbion is a relatively small nation with 2.4 million citizens and Gerenia with its 5 million citizens focuses its economy on consumer goods and sports.

I request that we allow them to cheaply purchase military equipment from our war industry (which benefits our own nation) and grant them a funds of 10 billion Kala, which they can lend when necessary to modernise their army.

An Act to Promote the Defense of the Jingdaoese Empire


The Imperial Assembly, ruling in name of the people and by the Grace of the Heavenly Light...

... CONCLUDED that the member states of the Blackrock Pact must be seen as close allies in the struggle against the imperialist nations surrounding us.

... CONCLUDED that the armed forces of all member states must stand strong at all time and therefore need to be backed by patriotic citizenry and a vast industry.

... CONCLUDED that some nations lack sufficient workers and / or industrial capacity to strengthen their armed forces.

... THEREFORE we announce our intention to support the member states to purchase military equipment in the Jingdaoese Empire.

... THEREFORE decide that military equipment with as goal to strengthen the military of Blackrock Pact Members will receive a tax cut.

... AND HENCEFORTH an investment funds of 10 billion Kala will be established with the goal to lend this money to any Blackrock Pact Member which needs the funds to invest in its armed forces.

If I may, I'd like to ask the Prince of Batavia a question regarding the Blackrock Pact; my understanding is that Gerenia is a pacifist nation - has this changed as a consequence of their submission to the Heavenly Light joining this alliance? My concern is that they may prove to be the Iceland of the Pact - non-contributing but still in need of defending, a potential drain on resources.

What guarantee can be given that they will be able and willing to pull their weight when it comes to expelling the Shiretits from Apollonia maintaining collective security?

Comrade Poldark,

I agree with your concerns. Our government should request certain assurances from the Gerenian nation that they will expand their fleet, or at least provide the funds - or contribute in some other meaningful way - to strengthen our military power and protect the northern borders.

May I request an amendment to entitle Norfolk and the Maritime Free Republic to also receive 10 billion Kala each for investment in building auxiliary fleets to support the Jingdaoese Navy and the Pact?

Why only those States and not, for example, Batavia?

For our glorious maritime traditions require the stimulus of Government fiscal policy to work to their fullest potential. (I trust to the Batavian delegates to attend to their own pork-barreling of this proposal for their respective districts.)

I fully support this proposal but cannot support the ammendment from the honorable member from Norfolk unless it would give Tyrenia a similar grant.

The funds of 10 billion to foreign countries would be meant as as a loan. I could agree on similar ground to a funds for all States.

In that case, I don't think that it needs to be included in this act.

"Good to hear that the opposition supports the defence of the Empire as much as the government parties! A glorious day for the Minshu Policy (Democratic Popular Sovereignty Policy)!
