300 Nautical Miles off the port city of Washington a naval Blackhawk lifted off from the helipad of the CNS Cruiser, a battle cruiser of the Task Force 09. The Task Force was on full DEFCON Alert especially due to the proximity to Imperial Union, a potential hostile. Since the Task Force was in international waters it could not be attacked without meriting a full retaliation.

The Commander of the 9th Task Force and Commanding Officer of CNS Bhima, Rear Adm. Suresh Shinde is in the helicopter. Taking off from the cruiser the helicopter flew on a NWW bearing to the port city of Washington. The Task force would sail on without stop northwards without leaving any indication that a helicopter had left the deck.

*Secret*

Meeting the helicopter would be President Lisa Black and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mark Richards. This friendly visit would be during a turbulent time for the world and as it was in a neutral nation, this visit was expected to go without a hitch.

"Good morning Madam President, I am Rear Admiral Sushil Shinde, Commander of Task Force 09 of Royal Cochin Navy. May I present to you the regards from the Dragon Empire."

"Good morning Rear Admiral. I am sorry that this visit takes place amidst of a war. Welcome to the Republic of Curristan."

"It is indeed sad that we have to meet in such troubled times. In more peaceful times perhaps we could have conducted a proper port visit! So what is Curristan's opinion regarding the crisis in North America?"

"I agree. A second visit will have to be arranged once peace occurs. Curristan's opinion regarding the crisis in North America is neutral. We are neutral by tradition. We have mostly never engaged in any foreign wars although during the Nordland crisis, the government then in power allowed anti Nordic nations to station ships in Curristani waters. We were never needed in the end. Since then we have never bothered beyond South America."

"It is indeed wise to remain neutral. The Kingdom indeed maintains a spirit of neutrality but at times it is necessary to take stand to defend some closely held principles. We believe Texas has right in this conflict and they called out for help. Hence our offer for help. But I guess the tyrants of North America would twist facts into fiction."

"If you want stability, South America is the place to be. We have a request. We would like a Friendship and Free Trade Pact with the Dragon Empire. This will maximise trade between our countries and open strong diplomatic relations. Is this possible?"

"Ah! I dont see why not, Madam President. But I am not the arbiter for such a decision. Perhaps if you permit me to make a call?"

The Admiral took out his phone and communicated to Cochin.

"Madam President, our Ministry of External Affairs is thrilled to reach this accord with you. How and where would you like to sign the deal?"

"What we may have to do is fly to Cochin and sign the deal there as you cannot arbitrate the deal. Once this visit is over i will fly to Cochin. Is this ok?"

The Rear Admiral saluted the President of Curristan and said,

"Thank You, Madam President. We are indeed very proud to have you as our friends. Now with your permission may I rejoin my command. This is the dark times we are passing through."

"Permission granted. May you have a safe passage back to your command." She turned to one of her aides. "Arrange a charter to Cochin for as soon as possible."

Freight Locomotives hauling boxcars full of ammunition and rations begin leaving Jakirata Military Rail Yard every 20 minutes and heading south to Montevideo Military Rail Yard.

Stockpiles already in Montevideo are put on freighters.

From there freighters would collect the ammunition and royally pay the authorities for their aid. The ammunition was then transported back to the Imperial Union and stored in weapon depots for possible near-future use.

Military Factories are ordered to begin turning out war material exclusively for use by the Imperial Union. Ammunition and Medical Supplies being the priority.

Nuclear Shelter building as planned has begun

First nuclear shelters begun.

Curristan Government orders emergency aid to be prepared in case of nuclear attack in South America.

Nuclear Alert order rescinded.

Curristan Government scraps all its fighters, bombers and its attack helicopters in an effort to cut the cost of running the military.

From: The Kingdom of Cochin

To: Curristan

Greetings,
Would you care to accept a port visit from our Task Force 09 which is sailing in Atlantic Ocean?

Sd,
KP Varma,
Minister of External Affairs.

To: KP Varma,
Minister of External Affairs

We accept your offer of a port visit. We hope to see you in Washington soon.

Signed,
President Lisa Black

Cruiser Task Force 09 sails into the Washington Harbor in line astern fashion with the horns blowing in greeting to the ships in port in the characteristic Royal Cochin Navy fashion.

This was the first port visit of Royal Cochin Navy after the Kingdom seceded from Dragon Empire.

The Curristan public had been told of the fleets visit so thousands of people stood cheering and waving Cochin flags in a symbolic welcome.

The Task Force anchored itself and a Blackhawk lifted off from CNS Bhima for its second journey to Curristan. Rear Adm. Suresh Shinde, Commander of the Task Force is in the helicopter bearing a rather bulky parcel. The parcel had been air dropped near CNS Bhima a day earlier from a Merat flying in from Cochin via Bosaso. The consignment was picked up from the sea by CNS Bhima's Blackhawk and taken aboard ship for final preparations.

Now it awaited covered in Red silk besides the Task Force Commander.

President Lisa Black stood watching the Blackhawk as it approached the shore. She would take him to the nearby Curristan Government Headquarters where they would hold the meeting.

Resolution #011 - Military Bill 2009


This resolution outlines the new Curristan Military Bill.


Article 1: Overview

The bill will outline the budget of the Curristan Military for the coming year.


Article 2: Curristan National Army

The Curristan National Army is currently on defensive duties on Curristan Soil. It will recieve a C$1 Billion increase in funds as part of a military buildup. The new budget is C$7 Billion.


Article 3: Curristan Air Force

The Curristan Air Force has lost all its frontline fighter strength and attack helicopters as it overspent its last budget. However, due to this, the Curristan Air Force will receive an extra C$2 Billion increase as it rebuilds. The new budget is C$5 Billion.


Article 4: Curristan Missile Command


Curristan Missile Command has been building up a small inventory of 50 RT-2PM Topol ICBMs with 100 Conventional 10,000lb Warheads and 20 Tabun Chemical Warheads. The Chemical Warheads are however stored away and have never been tested. Curristan Missile Command spent under its last budget dispite the increase of its inventory. Curristan Missile Command will recieve a budget of C$7 Billion for new projects geared towards Curristan's missile defence.


Article 5: Curristan Defence Network (Corrunna Line plus AA Network)


The Curristan Defence Network had been built up since Curristan's creation after the fall of Colstream. The Corunna Line has had upgrades since its initial build, but has so far not been tested due to the relative peace in South America. More defensive upgrades are planned so to secure Curristan's security.

The integrated Anti Air Network has had the dubious honour of shooting down several aircraft, with one being a domestic airliner. This has forced the Curristan Government to increase the budget to develop a better radar system to prevent another similar incident.

The Curristan Defence Network will recieve a budget of C$12 Billion to fund the planned projects which will guarantee Curristan's security.


This bill will go into effect immediately.

As the war in South America rages, the Curristan market loses some value.

New Englander stockholders immediately began investing into the Curristan market.

OOC: EDIT: Eh, just noticed this is classified. Disregard this, if you want...

OOC: Market stuff would not be classified. You would notice that anyway since you hold stocks in some Curristan companies. So the post you made is valid

IC:

The investments begin to push the value up and generates much needed extra revenue.
